Could someone create a workable cab file for these files?

Hello there,
I was just wondering if someone is able to create a workable cab file for these dumped ROM files. I could not find any cabs already created.
Thanks so much for your time!!

Do those include the depended-upon files like the dlls and lnks? If not there's no point cabbing them up. It looks like they might just be the exe files for the games.
Funnily enough I was thinking of creating a cab for those games at some point so I can pop them onto any future 'light' or 'superclean' ROMs without having to cook them in from one of the available kitchens. But I haven't created a cab before so I'd need all the files that come with, i.e. the exes and lnks and any dlls. (I think that's all they use, about 8 or 10 files between them. I 'm doing other stuff just now but if noone's posted any cabs soon I'll make one.
Anyone who can save me the bother of finding out which files I need if they already know them (and even attaching them) would help of course!

Cheers fella.
Dunno why but the exe and one dll in there are zero-byte files for some reason, but I'll assume the list is full and get them from my own rom here.
Now we'll see how long it'll take me to learn to make cab files from a standing start. This could be either hours or days. Don't hold your breath..

Thanks for your help!!
Thanks chunkymonkey for your effort in creating the cabs and thanks Mike Parsons for your contribution for the files. It looks like when I dumped my original files I did not have the "hide system files information" unticked.
Your help is much appreciated.

Here's version 1.
You need to create your own shortcuts.

Solitaire works great!
Thanks chunkymonkey that was quick!!
Solitaire works great but bubble breaker kicks an error SHCreateMenuBar Failed...Cannot open Bubble breaker resource file.
Thanks again for your efforts!

Righto. I'll let you know if I get that sorted.
vjgrace - can you (or anyone) search you PPC for softkb.dll pls?
Not inc on this Satin ROM and I don't want to have to flash a new ROM just to get the dll file and then flash back.
Ta. (Otherwise this'll have to wait for when I next do flash ROM - most likely when Faria brings new one out)

You got it!
Hello chunkymonkey,
Right now I am in the process of redumping the recently released dopod wwe and hopefully it will be in there.
And here it is...
Thanks again,
vjgrace

Ta. Bear with me.

Ah, no, I've got that package file, do you have the dll itself kicking about anywhere, perhaps on your ppc?
(DISREGARD above - I didn't look properly in the zip, sorry)

Try this one.
Should work and have shortcuts, but they're not correct shortcuts, i.e. going into Programs instead of Games in Start Menu. Also BubbleBreaker has no space between the words.
Sorry I can't test them for you but games are already burned into the ROM I'm using.

V3 - took the shortcuts back out and added the correct ones as a separate cab.
I need to get the shortcuts to install properly. Just needs me to work out inserting srtuff into the xml file of 'Games.cab' but not from the other one. I don't know xml as you can no doubt tell.
For now though, these 2 should make the Games folder the same as presinstalled ones, including the games folder icon for the start menu.
Uness someone who can test it tells me different.

Great Work and Effort!!
Hello chunkymonkey,
Boy you are on the ball!! Solitaire is working like a champ but the bubble breaker still gives me the same error, it very well may be something on my end because I have installed the Dopod Lite version by edhaas (great slim version) and it is a very clean/light version may be missing some files in the ROM, I don't know.
You definitely have given me the inspiration to pursue this further, attempting to create the cabs on my own...You have created a workable game from start to finish without having created a cab before, so THANK YOU!!
On a side note, the shortcuts are not working, the game folder is created but the shortcuts are dead, but thanks anyway.
Once again..thanks for your time,
vjgrace

Polaris Splash

Hi All,
first: I know there was just few posts ago same thread.
BUT!
What i really want to see here(We r in Polaris section not Kaiser)
is proper tools and proper explan. how to build and flash Splashes for Polaris.
I tried to do that with info given in Kaiser branch but no luck(mostly coz i was affraid to brick my cruise)
I have to deal with noobs every day at work (i put myself in noob cat. when it concerns phones-flashing-and etc.) and the only way to help them when screeming at u saying that u r as..ole and dont want to help--- is to draw them a "PICTURE" with what they have to do.
So.
Im nOOb here and i'd love to see that PICTURE.
It'd be nice if someone who knows this stuff and does it every day, would make some PrintScreen of the whole proccess of creating and flashing splashes for Polaris.
Thanx alot to all of u who makes our(nOOb's(but willing to learn)) lives more interesting
Cheers lads

Don't know about changing the first HTC splash screen but the Windows one that loads after it really got on my nerves...so if you want to change just that one this app worked for me.
It basically unlocks the file welcomehead.96 in the Windows folder. You can then overwrite it with a picture of your choice (renamed "welcomehead.96"), saved as a .png image and resized to 240x320 (I used Paint for this).
Hope this helps a little.

cheers dude.

SubSplash Flash
Hi, here is a group of very useful tools that load any image you like into the boot loader creating your own splash
There is an interesting thing: another Splash after the first one called Subsplash (when showing radio and rom versions) that is tricky to replace. It has place at the address 0x601. So, you have to edit htcrt_devices.ini file by changing the address wherever you read 0x600 put 0x601, look for your device (or change them all in the list just in case). Only then you can produce the RUU_signed.nbh. After that, replace into ROMUpdateUtility folder and flash. Try it. Almost one day to find out how to get rid of that awfull image from Claro Argentina! Hope this helps.

first time Diamond owner need help!!

i want to really pimp out my phone but as keep reading through all the threads I end up being confused. cab files, zip files, TF3D config, clocks. what and where do i start and how do i install these files. let me know what do i need to post to help me do all of these mods.
help will be greatly appreciated!!

fottenlahi the only way is to learn is read the post's cause the instructions are really simple enough I was a noob once but I read read and read and learnt how to do the basic stuff....

as whitefalcon says, you have to read, try, hard reset if needed and learn.
You will get a hold of it quite fast.
To answer quickly :
-zip files can be opened on the ppc like on a desktop
-cab files are like the install files of your desktop, copy theme to the ppc click on theme and they insatll a programme.
-TF3D config allows you to tweak the touchflo 3D (change tabs order, remove tabs...)
- clock, well change the clocks
On the what and where to start, it depends on what you want to tweak, no one can decide for you...

know how you feel - but best way to learn is to try. Having said that, let me know what it is you want to do and I will post pointers for you.
Good luck!!

Maybe it is a little difficult to fresh, however:
zip is just like the rar or 7z or zip in windows system.
cab could be describled as the exe files in Windows, so, dobule-click it and do next.
clocks and config are some kind things of make your diamond more smart and suit your using habbit, so you could learn it later.
After all, you do not need to care about those difficulties, your phone is well enough when you buy it, so take it easy,dude.

thank you guys for trying to help me out. okay i have been doing some testing and my results are... i figured out how to install themes, fonts and clocks through cab files. it was a no brainer since i have previously owned a HTC touch pretty simple. now i tried to install the TF3D config and it gives me errors. I followed instructions about checking DWORD and it was what it was and error still showed, second step though about deleting tweaks dont know were to go to delete that.(if someone can guide me through that. i have asked before but didn't get an answer.)
what i currently have on my Diamond.
1. shakass V2 (theme installed through .cab. awesome theme)
2. .net framework 3.5 (both 3.5 and 2.0 "2.0 came with my rom")
3. yota contacts (really nice but eliminates the default quick access menu)
4. registry editor
5. advance config 3.3
is there some other apps i need to get?
should i use TF3D config or Manila customizer?
thought this might help, i have a
1.09.651.5 ROM
1.00.00F RADIO

can a manilla file stop automatic time update?

hello chef central
i have two problems with rebuilding my kitchen
the first problem is when i go to file explorer and choose a page where you could scroll down and reached the lowest point it went a little further and then bounced back to the end(hope you get what i mean as i cant phrase it better)
i lost my kitchen due to a faulty hard drive so i am rebuilding it and now i lost that option:S
im using the same tweaks as i had a backup of my regtweaks so that aint the problem
im also using the same htcscroll package as the rom where it worked so that aint the problem either i think
does some one know where to look or what to change to make this happen again
the second problem is automated time and date
when i cook a clean rom(with all tweaks in it) i get oobe and when thats finished it gets me to the homescreen
within a minute it downloads the date/time and weather data
when i cook a full with visual mods it doesnt work anymore:s
so im guessing its a manilla file that is holding back on it
how is it possible that a manilla file prevents to download date/time settings? and does some one has a idea wich file it could be?
edit: and the last question
when i create a dutch full rom it says it has 645 modules and when i make the same packages in wwe it says 636 modules:S
there arent any modules hidden in language packs right?
edit2: found the difference in modules
in the syslanguages the wwe has less files then the nld
someone know a explenation why its this way as everything works like it should in wwe and you wouldnt think it would if things are missing:s

you are just excellent...you provided answer for your own question!
Seriously, I am glad you solved it though..

i thought it maybe whas a manilla file as i have transparancies for date and calander things on the homescreen and thats why i thought that maybe whas the problem
i still havent found the problem for th bouncing at the end of a list when scrolling in the fle explorer
i do noticed that when i hold a sec and then try it i have the bounceing thingie:S
probably a reg setting not good

can someone tell me wich package is for file explorer?
i search in the kitchen directory for file explorer doesnt give any results

hmmm nobody can tell me wich package is for file explorer?
still busy with the bounce when reaching the end of a list in file explorer

post the fonts let me take a look.

Thanks The actual characters I am after are at: 10d0-10fb. I've playing with this for a while. Actually what I did, was copy the sylfaen.ttf into one of the first WP7 images for HD2, tweaked some registry and recoocked the ROM. But this did not work. After several failures I quit trying hoping that MS would eventually add Georgian letter support to OS. But with all this new updates, support for Georgian letter is still missing. So, if you could help I and probably all the Georgian language community would appreciate your help.

Its gona be a bit of a hastle I think! with not much of a change altho its worth looking in to because I would'nt mind useing some other fonts on my system.
You can view the fonts on your phone useing touchexperiance
On your pc just open touchexperiance and open the file browser
Next go down the the section of files that start with S and you will see 9 fonts
segoeui.ttf
segoeuib.ttf
SegoWP.ttf
SegoWP-Black.ttf
SegoWP-Bold.ttf
SegoWP-Light.ttf
SegoWP-Semibold.ttf
SegoWP-Semilight.ttf
seguisym.tff
Im gessing replaceing the one's that says segoeui.ttf & segoeuib.ttf would be a good one's to try with.
Anyway im not sure what font is used buy the system or where you could change teh directory posibbly in shell Not sure?
The fonts might be overrideable or unmoveable not sure?
Some of the fonta are defenetly made strickly for windows phone 7
But you might beable to rename your font and usse it as a system font but agin not sure?
This might requre a custom update or a cooked in rom to use not sure!
The file you sent me was alredy instaled on my PC.
The fonts are digitaly sined by microsoft so im not sure if useing a diffrent one would break the system updates or if its even posible to modify without bulding a custom rom
In all honisty in order to do it and make it look right you would need 9 new versions of sylfaen.ttf
If I end up cooking my owen rom I will defenetly be trying to use custom fonts
but for now I have other projects im trying to finnish
If you want to look in to any of the things I mentioned & report back to let us know that would be good keep at it im sure you will figure it out if you dotn let us know whare you are stuck!
I know thats dose'nt help much but maby you have an idia about ware to start depending how bad you want them.
Puting together a nice pack of 9 fonts all the same that match orignals wouldbe a good start.
We could probly put together a nice quality custom update with that.
Well goodluck!

The fonts are placed into windows directory (by default) you can actually change the location of the fonts from the registry. If interested I can send you the extract from the WPk7 registry file, where the fonts and font linking is done. As mentioned I have coocked my own ROM with sylfaen in windows directory and changed some settings in the registry. It seems that copying the font only doesnot solve the problem, there is the registry key where you have to add the your font to. It is quite interesting, because all the fonts seem to link to SegoWP. The problem is that the range for Georgian fonts is actually present in all the fonts that a factory present in WP7. The only problem is that that range is empty. Thus, when viewing Georgian pages you recive blank squares instead of charachters. With my own cocked ROM with sylfaen.ttf in it, I recieved quite strange results, MS Word would display Georgian text perfectly, Outlook would not. The strangest happened to IE when viewing georgian pages... The page would start blinking?!? Very strange. At this point I quite playing arround with this prodject, as I got to the max I could do I was thinking of using the xap install/update method that Da_G provided, but it is too techy for me.
Thanks anyway.
