Hi guys,
I'm trying to edit a Universal ROM starting from nk.nbf and I'm experiencing a problem: cooked rom starts but shows taskbar with clock working properly but the remaining part of the screen seems not to draw anything and shows welcomehead image... and does not respond to taps or keypress (only powerbutton and backlight buttons working properly)
I'm used to cook roms with kitchens, so I followed these steps:
1. decode nk.nbf > nk.nba with htc tool
2. prepare_imgfs nk.nba -nosplit
3. viewimgfs imgfs_raw_data.bin
4. deleted and modified files
5. converted default.hv and user.hv in .rgu files with RGU.exe tool
6. edited .rgu registry files:
keeping key sorted as found in extracted files
every value is headed by key (not multiple values for a single key)
HKCU in user.rgu
HKLM and HKCR in default.hv7. converted .rgu files in .hv
the RGU.exe tool adds in user.hv the value
[KKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ObjectStore\RegistryUpdate]
"boot.rgu"=hex:79,41,C3,2D,24,BD,72,20,37,79,E7,A0,B2,A9,03,CF
How to create boot.rgu?8. replaced registry hives in dump folder
9. buildimgfs
10. make_imgfs nk.nba -noplit
I've found in KKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ObjectStore\RegistryUpdate some references to .rgu files that are not included in the rom... should i delete all .dsm files and registry references?
Thanks all...
missing rgu have been deleted before flashing, as Leo did for his latest rom 05, so your source rom is unusable
Thanks...
OK... now the new AKU 0.7.0 is available with .rgu files builtin... but rom behaviour is the same... how to work with packages.sof?
If I move all files recreating the same directory structure of a "working" kitchen and running BuildOS.exe, shall I sort out the problem?

it is a nice way to cook a ROM
Thanks...
Usual cause of a startup like you descibe is a corrupt initflashfiles.dat - have you edited it directly?
If so the first 2 bytes need to removed by a hex editor to work properly.
I just installed BB41full and everything works fine, i did the regs mods by tom (storage card issue), but after softreset the regs mods gone away, for my tests i created a text file (below) (bb41.reg) and saved it on my mobile.
i "executed" it, it asks if i want to import and i clicked OK, but when i checked with phm registry, the import dont work.
anyone could help me?
ps: sorry my english
bb41.reg

i tested with phm registry (the one comes bb41) and resco registry
im not sure but the registry mods survive after softreset worked now, i think i have to do a sync first.

device: orange m650 known as P3300
os: Artemis Touch 3.01 by meschle
Ive subscribed to "option totale TV" from orange.fr , but the site is not seeing my device as compatible so maybe the problem is comeing from them.
Im a n00b so i dont exacly know how the tv streaming is working; could i feed it to a media player or is the browser that is opening the stream???
So if i had a direct adress i could overcome this problem.
Ok here is all I could find :
1 change the reg like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent]
"Custom"="PPC; 240x320; SPV M650; OpVer 13.10.2.112"
key name Custom with the value...
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]
"Custom"="PPC; 240x320; SPV M650; OpVer 13.10.2.112"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Post Platform]
"PPC; 240x320; SPV M650; OpVer 13.10.2.112"=""
look cerful as the name of the value is important not the value it self wich is nule
try the values above and if no result then do this to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Templates\Same as Pocket PC]
"Platform"="Windows CE; PPC; 240x320; SPV M650; OpVer 13.10.2.112"
if the value doesnt existe create it
2 install the soft
pv player for the clips (this ver 3.3 build 007 suks bad, if you have a newer one let me know)
and htc streaming media for the tv
and orange world is the config to accese the site
3 soft reset
So this is done on a Orange SPV M650 flashed with Touch v3.01
Please if you have any dificultys dont hesitate to post or to contact me (fr to)
A few people have been trying to figure out how to get rid of SQM, and custsat.dll was causing most of the errors. I posted a few weeks ago in the kaiser forum the I was going to post how to do it, but forgot. Anyway, removing SQM is now simple (for ROM cooks):
1. Delete SQM package from SYS
2. Place my dummy custsat.dll (attatched).
...dummy custsat is a dummy custsat.dll that exports all correct ordinals, and simply returns zero for all functions. SQM is a reporting library that apparently sends non-personal information to microsoft about your pocketpc's performance. note this is for wm6.1, wm6 you can just delete sqm.

Wouldn't it be easier to remove the whole SQM package:
-custsat.dll
sqmce.dll
sqmconn.dll
sqmdata.dll
sqmevent.exe
sqmsvc.dll
uptime.dll
uptimesqm.exe
AND remove the RGU entries from the Hive?
Then the whole package wouldn't be called upon anymore, so no errors with custsat.dll etc.

if you tried that in wm6.1, you would quickly discover that unresolved imports will cause everything from tmail.exe to cprog.exe not to execute.

hey no2chem.. will try this out, but where should i place this file? in windows? i mean is it ok if i just place this file of urs in oemapps (it will automatically get stored in windows, rite?)
EDIT: sorry.. posted too early b4 i saw what was nside sorry again.. please ignore my question
Hi,

Ahh, I (obviously) haven't tried that in WM6.1 (haven't cooked a WM 6.1 ROM yet).
Well done, I'll going to use your dll when I decide to cook me a WM6.1 ROM.
ok i will try in my new rom! thanks!
Very useful
I 'll use your SQM in my next ROM. Thanks.
OK cooked in and NO problems at all. Thnaks for sharing!!!
What i didn't post thanks for this...
Dammit, muchos gracias great job testing now.
I wnet almost insane trying to get rid of SQM in WM 6.1
Worked on this side of the coin!
Thanks a lot!
I used this with WM 6.1 Classic edition for Hx4700( remove Phone and related phone folder in SYS) , returned error.
I deleted all except original custsat and rgu and dsm , no error.
I used with ASUS P525 and hTC Cruise , all's OK.
Thanks.

Since noone responded to that I am gonna answer to cut other peoples problems away. If you try the other way incl. deleting ceipui.exe you will have seriouse activesync issues. People on vista (some, specialy those who havent updated theyre computer) wount be saved by sktools for cleaning up and make a new repllog session. So my experience is that deleting ceipui.exe is not a smart move

Finally found a MIX_NOTIFY.VOL without ceipui notifications that works for me in my lite spanish ROM
Cheers.
one question... where i have to place this dll?
Activating this thread again, hopeing to get an answer...
From what I can understand, SQM (System Quality Metrics) is a service running in winmo 6 and ff. Services are always manageable in the way that they can be disabled and/or stopped. Shouldnt it be possible to get rid of ceipui.exe making its "call home" to redmond by just disabling the SQM-service (and possibly a few others that might be depending on it)?
I had a quick look in the registry and found what I think is the service in question, sqmupload (sqmsvc.dll). Easy to set it to manual start and easy to "disable" it (just move it to another location in the registry for safety, dont delete it).
I'll hardreset my device and test it, will post results here later on.
[Edit]
Btw, I am not a cook, therefor I'm trying to find another way to solve this
Ok, I should clarify that what I wanted to do was to remove the annoying popup dialog about participating in the Customer Feedback and this registry tweak has done just that.
Its workning perfectly on an Athena 7500 with a wm 6.1 ROM.
The registryentry this regards is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SqmUpload]
Should look something like this:
"Context"=dword:00000000
"Dll"="sqmsvc.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000099
"Keep"=dword:00000000
"Prefix"="SQM"
"Index"=dword:00000000
"DelayLoadOnEvents"="SDP_DATA_AVAILABLE"
"Flags"=dword:00000004
Create a key in HKCU\Software, name it whatever you like (f.ex. Backup) and move this key to that location. The service is now "disabled", and it doesnt look like its calling ceipui.exe, nor does it call on uptimesqm.exe as far as I have been able to spy on the system.
If anyone experiences any problems, please tell me. I'd really like to know
//Anders
what about 6.5?
isn't it enough to delete all files from SQM package excluding dsm and custsat.dll? what is the difference between using dummy custsat?
Any experience with these with latest builds (6.5.3)?
- Remove customer feedback
- remove error reporting
- etc etc...
Thanks.
