[Q]How to create XIP driver - Windows Mobile

Hi.
I am just working on my own driver. I tested its body and seems to be ok but I have some problems concerned with the fact, system does not want to load it at boot time. Fortunately I can load it further having already access to the shell so I know it works as it should.
I suspect that maybe it is caused driver is not XIP'ed becuase it has been created as single dll file. Maybe my driver .dll file should be inserted in kitchen as module for example in mydriver.dll directory and I have to place in this directory needed Sxxx files and imageinfo files like other available drivers have ? Am I right ?

You may want to pm Shadrac; he's the author of Extendir, which is a xip file system driver. I think most people use it as a file and not a module.

n00b question about adding my own programs

Okay I understand you have to use mkrom and Linux (or cygwin on Windows) to roll your own ROM my question is regarding how one could say remove one program from the SE ROM and include something else, for instance take off the byte counter and put another different counter on or such, would you just copy the necessary files (.exe and dll's) to the files1 or files2 folder and that's it ? What more is involved? Thanks in advance!
for simple programs, that is all there is to it.
some might need more research, as to which registry settings need to be tweaked to get te program to run from the windows directory. and what settings it needs to run at all.
You copy the files to either files1 or files2. Both sets of files end up in the \Windows subdir. So if you do not want to copy the files to RAM (see below), you should make sure the program is set to run from \Windows. Then you add any necessary registry keys to "default.reg", and any file-copy or directory creation commands to initobj.txt. Then run "mkrom <ROMfile>" and hey-presto.
Thanks so much for all your guys awesome work!!

ok sounds good, what would one need to do to mod the registry for the programs (By that I mean prior to booting) I don't want to be mucking around with a reg editor after the device boots just to get the progs to work...

Not sure I understand the question. Default.reg just holds the entire registry as present after a cold restart. So if you put something in there, this will be in the registry when the device wakes up.
I think we wrote at the same time , so you answered my question before I posted it !!! What you said made complete sense! Thanks!

hi,
i want to add the skelmir java virtual machine (thats default installed in windows\ceej) and copy the swingall.jar in the windows\ceej map.
I have the cab file of the virtual machine but i can't find out which files are in it (when i open it with cabextract is shows .001 files and not the files that i find back in the device)
please help me
Using Special Edition ROM, Tthe CabInst tool will run CAB files on the device if you move it there manually and double-tap it. It allows to set a new directory to install in.
Also the System Snapshot tool will write a file in the root of the device which holds a list of the entire filesystem and registry contents, so you can compare and see what changed. UltraEdit for the desktop has a compare function.
Good luck...
hi,
i installed it to a seperate directory and zipped the files. i also took a snapshot when the xda was fresh and after install. i only can't find where the xda's gets is files from in:

8544 <! 31/12/2002 12:31 1632 FC0E9EE1 Skelmir CEEJ Virtual Machine.DAT

because these are not in the map where i extracted the cab file too. maybe you can take a look for me and tell me what i have to change in mkrom to have ceej by default installed
the extraced cab map:

These files are generated during the install process, and contain uninstall information. You do not need to write them if you install in ROM, since you don't need/want your programs to show up the in the 'Add/Remove Programs' dialogue.
ah i understand,
so i just put the files in the files1 or files2 directory and add this reg files to the default.reg? i dony really understand the readme file
ah little kick,
isn't also good for the next SE rom? because you have finally a java virtual machine on the xda and the app is freeware (got it from www.skelmir.com)

default.reg holds the registry that is present when the system wakes up from cold-boot. So any registry entries your installer (or first run of the app) has made that you would like to have present should go in there. Clear enough?
almost
so i just copy paste the **** at the end of the reg file? and the files in the files 2 map
but how will the rom know where to put the files??
sorry if i'm stupid but i don't want to f*ck my rom so i can use me xda's as a frisbee
Yes, the registry entries can be pasted at the end of default.reg. It doesn't matter if there's earlier entries with the same values, since the latter ones override.
All files in files1 and files2 will end up in \Windows, and if you want them somewhere else, (where they'll take up RAM), you must manually copy them (or pre-made links pointing to them) by issueing commands in initobj.txt.
Take a real close look at initobj.txt, and you'll get the picture.

EasyPortOven V2.2 [Updated May 11 2008]

This is a release for my ROM porting kitchen. It ports both XIP's and SYS folders. It currently supports the following:
Herald
Wizard
Prophet
Kaiser
Elf/Elfin
Hermes
Zinc
Athena
http://www.darthnet40.com/xda/ivanmmj/Kitchens/
(You will need 7-Zip to open the file.)
This is compatible with Bepe's extended kitchen, but I don't believe he ever released one for every device out there. It requires a ROM folder with an extracted XIP folder within it. Just download the Herald's and you'll see what I mean. The ONLY tested section has been the Herald section as that's the only device that I have.
If your device is compatible with Bepe's kitchen or my kitchen, it will automatically launch the kitchen right after.
Instructions:
Delete your old SYS folder
Place the SYS file you wish to port into Working_Folder
Place your xip.bin that you wish to port into the Prepare folder
*Note: Close the XIPPort program after pressing "Make Packages." The script will take over after that.
You should not have a Working_Folder with an OEM, SYS and XIP folder (and a Tools folder if you have Bepe's kitchen, even more if you have my kitchen.)
Double click on the RunMe file and choose your device.
For those who have a kitchen:
Place bepe's kitchen in the Working_Folder (so that OEM/SYS/ROM and other folders are right within Working_Folder.) Alternatively, you can place also place all the files into EasyBakeOven's folder. Allow the Working_Folder to override EasyBakeOven's Working_Folder. You will not loose any data but will bypass a few "info" scripts. This will not cause any problems.
Obligatory Warning Label:
Use this at your own RISK. I cannot be held liable for any damage caused to your device by your own mistakes or by my mistakes in the instructions.
If you wish to know how to do this manually, head over to my HowTo thread.
Thank you's go to:
Bepe for his Extended kitchen and Herald/Atlas files
ababrekar for the elfin files
l3v5y and xvx45 for the Prophet files
character and ginminded for the Wizard files
Script for the Kaiser files

Welcome to EasyBakeOven!
Devices supported:

Just for being nice to me, here you go!
That's the newest official build. Be careful of anything "newer," they're fakes.
It's the one labeled 19213.7z
You'll need 7Zip to open the file. In it as the xip.bin and the SYS folders.
Yay!!!
Porting time!
I have one feature request!
Would it be possible to build a feature in that cleans out the folders before porting?
I think I'll test later cause actually I'm in exam but I think it work, I'm on the same device as l3v5y so I'll make my test and maybe take to you Artemis files (my other phone)
Thank for your hard work
Great tool ivanmmj.... I have a few questions. I guess I don't fully understand the process.
I've been able to get the XIP folder, os.nb.payload and romhdr.bin files from a KAISER rom... plus I used the .VM and WinCENLS_WWE folders from a working HERMES rom, but I can't seem to get past the second boot screen. A question I had is... do we use the os.nb.payload and romhdr.bin we got from the KAISER? or do we use those from a working hermes rom? and the XIP directory, do we need to change anything in there? or is just extracting it out, enough to work?
Thanks in advance.
Awesome tool, looks like a dummy can me even port ROM's will try it out sometime. Thanks bunches!

Already ahead of you. Today I noticed that I tend to leave a mess behind. lol I'll have it remove the files before replacing them, then I'll have it delete the extra files created during the process when it's done. (This part is already ready but I just haven't uploaded it. The removing the files before replacing them, I haven't done so, yet. Although this might not really be needed. Only the cleaning after part.)
...Maybe I don't know what you're talking about. lol
Explain it to me.

You need the XIP folder, os.nb.payload and romhdr.bin of YOUR device and the xip.bin and SYS folder of the rom you want to port INTO your device. Which device do you have? Tell me and I'll "draw" a map of what goes where.

You'll need:
OEM: hermes
ROM folder: Hermes (uncluding the XIP folder and all the other files)
SYS folder from kaiser (look for and remove MSkernel from this folder... I'm not 100% on that folder yet and future versions may handle that folder automatically)
Place the xip.bin from the kaiser into the prepare folder.
Now run the RunMe

Cooking SDKCERT in ROM

Hallo everybody,
I just want to ask how I can built in SDKCERT directly into ROM.If I want to convert SDKCERT.CAB to EXT then after I have again CAB so newerending story.
You won't need to use the SDKCERT package. If you are using Ervius Visual Kitchen for example, all you need to do is ensure that Disable Cert(ificate) checking is selected. This way, your compiled ROM will already have Certificate checking disabled allowing you to install updated drivers and such.
This tutorial discusses some of the changes you'll likely need to make:

Np.
Here is a little tip for future...
most certificates are in cab form,open the cab with winrar,you will see a file called;_setup.xml, that is the cert info.
just rename _setup.xml to mxip_999_certname.provxml and you done.

Did I understand correctly that I would need to add this to each package that needs a certificate?
Thanks
He said that you need to add this in every cab that need certificates, if you use EVK or Oskitchen you dont need anything because they auto patch the certs.

Thanks. The problem is that I've tried quite a few times to install the Vogue Camera as an EXT with EVK, and I always end up with the "The file 'camera' cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found." etc.
Did you tried the solution in post #3?
For which device are you trying to install?...from Vogue to -> ?
Sometimes from different devices isnt a certificate fault but some missing dll.
Check for this app Dependency walker and search if you have all the modules to make run camera Vogue.

Hi Lewy1,
You are missing a package dependency. If you navigate to the .\Windows folder using File Explorer on your device and try and launch the Camera application, you will encounter an error - confirming that you have dependency issue.

Yeah, that is just a generic error message, and it almost never has anything to do with certs. You could be missing dependencies, or it could just be that you have a broken shortcut. One of the problems with the 6.5 start menu is that you can't always tell just by looking that the shortcut is effed, because you may have an ico assigned through the registry. Use Total Commander to see if you have the correct shortcut path.

First of all, thanks guys for your help!
Yes, your right that the problem is also when I try launching the camera from the windows directory. Now the problem is that I don't understand too much when it comes to digging into the contents of these files, so I think I'll need some help.
I assumed I needed Dependency Walker which you wrote about in your Kitchen Utensils review, so I opened the camera.exe and the results are attached as a Dependency Walker Image. The camera EXT I have come from converting a cab that's been floating around XDA. By the way I had the same problem when using the mega camera.
Thanks so much for the patience and help.
Had a look at the .DWI file you attached. Your next steps:
Create a folder on your system (ex: C:\WINMO_OS)
Copy all of the camera package files to the folder.
In DEPENDS, remove all of the "Module Search Order" paths - Options menu.
Add the folder path (ex: C:\WINMO_OS)
Search your kitchen for each file that is listed in CAMERA.EXE and copy them to the folder.
Once you have the files from CAMERA.EXE in the folder, open each of the yellow ( ? ) files.
Repeat the steps above until you have examined all of the files in the folder you created.
Essentially, you want to locate all of the files listed in each .DLL, .EXE, etc. that is displayed in DEPENDS.
If the files appear in the .\SYS or .\OEM folder, it's likely those aren't the issue. Some files may be modules; it's likely those aren't the issue as well - I usually RECMOD a copy of the file and place it in the folder or I copy it from the device when connected using USB. This will reveal additional files that are "missing". I suspect you will discover the missing dependency to be in another file. If you find the files in packages, it's likely the entire package is a dependency. If you can't find a file, make note of it and continue on. At the end, post the list of files you couldn't find.
Lastly, examine each of the .REG files for references to other files; you may need to do a global search through the kitchen to find other packages that may be writing to the same keys ... these will likely be dependant packages as well.
HTH,
* EDIT *
If at all possible, it would be beneficial for you to find the official source ROM that the package originated from.

[SOLVED] platformrebuilder errorlevel: -1073740777

hi,
i have modified bepe's new rom kitchen (PRB) to suit my needs.
for months it's working flawlessly.
due to some updated rom tools, i have modified the kitchen batch to include the updated tools. i have updated all the folders in the kitchen (EXT, OEM, ROM, SYS, tools & toolset) with the latest packages, tools, etc.
then 2 weeks ago, i can't build a rom with my kitchen.
everytime prb executes, it is showing this platformrebuilder errorlevel: -1073740777.
today, i have managed to trim down the cause for this error.
if i have a module inside EXT folder, (i.e. EXT\COMMON\Scrolling\files\PhysicsEngine.dll - which is a module), prb throws the error.
however, if i move the module outside the files folder, (i.e. EXT\COMMON\Scrolling\PhysicsEngine.dll), or recmod the module (convert the module to file), there is no error. i can build a rom with success.
i have this packages with module before i modified my kitchen and i can build without error.
i would like to ask if you have also encountered the same error, or its just me and i would also like to know what could be the cause for the error.
thanks very much.
regards,
mike
Its trying to replace the module, and couldnt since its a module. Want to use the the one in EXT, then you will have to delete the one in OEM or SYS.
Yeah, I'm agree. I has a Mui file as a module (???) in an Oem_lang folder. This cause the error. I just change the module for a mui file and all goes ok.
thanks for the replies guys.
regards,
mike
I recall seeing that issue with certain versions of EVK. I also recall, ervius stating that he had fixed EVK to support both locations for modules:
.\packagename\<modulefile.ext>
.\packagename\files\<modulefile.ext>
A search through the EVK thread should bring up the particulars. Search using the internal search function by member name - his or mine (think it was me that brought it to his attention). Also, the module folder only needs to contain the imageinfo.* & S#### files - the .DLL/.EXE/.MUI/etc. file doesn't need to be present ... it will get created a build time.
HTH,
* EDIT *

hi,
after further investigation, i have found out that if the original module's attribute is not the same as the new module (i.e. PhysicsEngine.dll\imageinfo.*, S00x, etc.), prb will throw the error -1073740777. otherwise, no problem/error encountered.
so my conclusion is, if you have to overwrite a module, the new module should have the same attributes as the old module.

i've done it manually, right-click the original file (i.e. S000) and check the attributes, should be the same with the new file (i.e. if original file S000 has attribute set to Hidden Read-only, the new file S000 should also be set to Hidden Read-only).

I have fully working fine modules but this tool says wrong size for all of them.
I have the same thing when i drop into a 6.1 module it says
the module XXXXXXXXX is invalid... the section "S000" has the wrong file size.
Guessing this only works ok in 6.5 modules... lets see SYS....
mmmmm
same thing... is there any other thing i need to have in my PC???
I found out the reason of the messages: some modules have an alignment padding I didn't notice probably because of an older compiler. I updated the tool to fix the issue.
I get message "ImageInfo.bin is missing" in 5 to 6 of the packages I tested.

I think if you drop the entire Ext package you will get the error. I believe you need to drop only the module folder.
This is what i think, please correct me if im wrong. I did not get any error so far...
