How to create a cab for operator settings? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

As I'm testing the different WM6 Roms I have to enter all the settings again and again and again. Now I'm thinking about creating a cab file with the operator and email account settings. But how to create it?

someone didnt take the time to search or RTFW

I saw the thread but not the cab file, sorry guys.

I would also like to know this...
CWW Enterprises Operator PDA Manager is great don't get me wrong, but by the time you install the software, download the operator lists etc, I can manually enter my own settings! and as I'm only interested in one network settings and one country, it would be far quicker & easier to have a cab file for the settings!
So, how can I create my own cab file?

so let me spoon feed you guys....

and when your done making your working cab add it to the wiki if its not already here

[WM5] MMS Client Inside WORKING! [Updated - Bugs fixed]

Update: The v2 resolves the "cannot add video track" with the camera app and the crashing with .3gp files.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Blueangel/WM5_ArcsoftMMSv2_From_Universal.CAB
Well it works, you need to have the second patched version from mamaich, and do a softreset after installing the cab..
For people with other devices just follow the instructions bellow..
----- OLDER STUFF BELLOW -----
Ok, here are the files
Unzip windows to \windows
My Documents to \My Documents
Then go to the messaging application if you don't have a mms folder create a new account with dummy users etc at the end on the type choose MMS (this is a hack and you should only have one account of this type)
Configure your mms as normal and your set to go..
There's some extra files that hymalaia users don't have, so when you are copying \windows you don't need to say yes to overwrite (but the files on the zip are newer than the ones on our BAs)
Bugs:
1) When you try to add a .3gp file or view a folder with .3gp files it crashes.. (I have overwriten my \windows files, you can try not to do that and see if it gets better)
2) You can't add a photo directly from the camera
If you get an error about buffer overflow just replace rcdll.dll with rcdll_original.dll also on the rars.
Update: Replace rcdll.dll from \windows with the one in rcdll.rar (After you install all the other rars)
Update: Install the .reg FROM MMS.rar and not from the other rars, using a registry editor (kilmist or tre work fine)
Thanks for the files. I have a few of questions though:
1. Have you managed to send and receive MMS using the registry setttings you posted?
2. Does everything message realted still function properly after putting in the registry settings?
3. Does it work like the old ArcSoft MMS client for 2003?
4. What do you mean by "there's something missing"?
Thanks in advance.
By something missing i mean that it doesn't work and theres more stuff needed :>
Ok, got it. Thanks again
Sorry, just curious on how you extracted the files and the registry settings. You think its still as before where it comes as a CAB in the extended ROM, and you think you can get the CAB file itself?
I got the files from a user at universal forum, and they don't have a way to open the extrom
Ok we have MMS working at Himalaya and at Blueangel
But there's some problems with the icon resolution, as soon as i patch all the dlls i'm going to post the files

Have you softreseted?
If yes, use this .reg file with kilmist reg editor, i think that's the problem, TRE complaints about a string too long

Same here, don't work even with the new reg file ...
Have you checked that the registry is changed?
The same for me... I have followed the instructions but when I wanted to create an MMS account and went through the wizard nothing "visually" changed. But apparently, the account exists somewhere inside because when I wanted to create another one (with the same name) thy wizard warned me that the account already exists... Any ideas...?
Remark: When I used the kilmist regedit I noticed that the default values (marked with @) weren't imported. I had to enter them manualy as REG_SZ values with 'Default' name... Could be that a problem...?

Do you see the Menu->MMS Configuration?
The only thing that changes when you add an account is that at the end you choose MMS instead of POP3 or IMAP (at step 5) fill something at the other steps, they aren't used
No... No at all... The menu doesn't contain such item...
Removed: see first post
Ok. It works... Thanks a lot for help. Because I did not see any MMS accounts previously I created two different MMS accounts... Is there any way to delete one of them...?

3) How to unlock/lock and unhide/hide EXTROM?
Thanks
Java Plugin required!
Hi!
Is there any java plugin avaialble for the Universal since existing PIE cannot view sites with java (I might be wrong)?
Thanks
It in the Java folder on the FTP.
Jeode.

Your link leads to nowhere

All the Extended ROM files have been moved to this folder.
The links are gone because your site is under construction.
Please give us new links. Thanks a lot.
I have put back the files here:

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sorry, forgot the .htaccess file for the webhosting.
It's good now!
Thank you so much. Downloading now... :lol:
Just a small question: how can I modify the file Default_Unsigned_Regional_USA.sa to change the regional to Australia? Of course, if regional is Australia, the date format is dd MMM yy
Hope you can help me soon. Thanks in advance.
I had to search for the particular keys that get changed, then set them in the CAB file.
Since I don't remember offhand what keys get changed, you can try opening the CAB file with OCP WinCE CAB Manager (www.ocpsoftware.com) then look in the Registry section for the keys and values.
Next, go ahead and use the Regional Settings to change to Australia and whatever else you need.
Then, use Resco Explorer or another Registry Editor to see what the new values are and pop them back into the CAB file. Done!
I do not seem to be able to find the following cab. Is it missing or have I gone mad?!?

TMobile un-official WM6 - Updated & Working :-)

Just created a T-Mobile branded WM6 ROM from the Official HTC Dopod ROM.
Got the T Mobile Theme, Splash Screens and Settings. Works pretty good and its my first attempt at cooking a ROM of any sort.
Remove Quickmark and Cybron VC cooked my own EXTRom and added the Fixed 3g Icon.
T Mobile settings are T-Mobile UK Only.
ROM now fixed and T-Mobile settings are working, Have also found the Clean 3G Icon dll and cooked that into the ROM. However the 3G I con I cannnot test till tomorrow as where I live 3G is not an option.
Please use the new link to download below.

I live in an area where i dont get 3G coverage I installed the 3g fix CAB and the T Mobile Fixed settings on the customisation from Extended ROM but they dont seem to have taken you are right. I am Looking to fix this ASAP cannnot work out why they dont work.
Already given up with the T Mobile fixed cab installing from customisation along with 3GIcon. Amazing that something that is in theory so simple just drop the CAB file into a new EXT ROM add the CAB install line in the config.txt and Flash off you go.
I have no idea why it doesnt run the CABS but then I am new to all this cooking lark. Just tried everything to get it working and failed.....
Sorry will remove the thread and the download.
Will post a new link when I have fixed the problems will approach from XML angle for the settings as suggested below by ChaoticDruid. Thank
Hi, I seen your other thread about the .cab, I cannot say for sure why that isnt working for you, I havent looked in the cab for the tmobile settings myself, but I imagine if you can, its just registry entries, and what you could do, is just cook an .xml into the ROM with the settings, and add the the .xml to the preconfig.text, and just cook the clean 3G .dll into the ROM, you should abandon using the extROM, really..but thats just my opinion.
There are .xml examples found on the forum and google, and you can even take apart some ROMs, and look for .xml files with names like "customization" etc. and see how they are laid out, or just modify an existing one.
Dont give up yet.
I didnt know the clean 3g Icon was avaliable in an OEM .dll file so I will that up. I have seen the xml files but seen a ROM yet that is WM6 and has an XML file that I can template from I know the T Mobile settings manually but not sure what strings they go in like you say I need an XML file that already has provider settings in so I can change them.
Hmm wondering now if there is a registry snapshot program for WM6 that like there is for windows. Could take basic setup snap then install the settings cab and take another then export the changes made.

Easy, search! most past rom thread have needed them, so links to CABs can be found all over the place!
Did a search on here for clean 3g icon and I found the CAb that way going to try and get the DLL though
Hi again, you can use sktracker to keep track of registry changes, and OCP cab manager is available in a trial, as far as finding an xml, just start dumping cooked roms, and opening the xml files with notepad, Im sure you'll eventually come across one with registry entries, and then just modify it, and add to your rom, but don't forget to add a line in the preconfg.txt, also you could have a peek at the one in the dumped rom, which contained the xml.
Thanks to you all I have got it working I have cooked in the DLL for clean 3G and also got T Mobile UK settings auto setup.

Need help with operator settings cab

Please, can anyone help me create operator settings cab for T-Mobile HR network ?
All this time I had to manually create all my settings after flashing ROMs and it is a pain in the arse
I have extracted provmxl files with all the settings from the T-Mobile HR WM6 ROM, now I just need help with creating a cab file with it..
What files do I need for the cab and how do I initiate creation of the settings from provmxl files after installation ?
If anyone can tell me step by step how to create a cab or create a cab for me if it is easier then explaining, I have attacked the provmxls that needs to be edited a bit...
Thanks in advance!
Check Schaps. He has a cab listed that is a connections wizard that will detect and set up your phone...It works for AT&T so I would think it would for you....Look at his rom post and you should find it...
I know there is a connection wizard, but there are no Croatian networks present, so it will not work for me
The only way for me is to create provmxl file with all the settings that can be then used with network connection wizard. The provmxl files are here, they just need to be edited a bit since there is some crap in there that has nothing to do with operator settings..
I would like if someone could help me create cab file with settings for just my network since I don`t want/need other network settings and they will just use my storage space for no reason..
Hey Shamanix, i see what you're trying to do and sorry i can't help. But would it not be more beneficial for you (and everyone) to send these settings over to Schap and have him integrate them INTO the connection wizard? This way they are there for future users in one easy spot.

ROM cooking: smthing else than initflashfiles affects shortcuts

Hi, everyone! I´m still working on a Wizard (don´t want to touch my Hermes, yet). I´m pretty advanced... but
I dump the [latest] original cingular WM5. I rebuilt it with office 2007 and realize that the original shortcuts are still there. Of course, they are both useless (as I have new names for the apps) and annoying (because I can´t remove them before compiling).
This is the whole point: Those shortcuts are not coming from neither an xml update for the XIP nor an initflashfiles.txt
HOW ON EARTH DO I REMOVE THEM. I can´t find what is creating and copying those shortcuts
Are they embedded in the OS.nb file? If so, how do I take that file apart?
Any help is very much appreciated!
..provxml, m8..
Nope, had checked already
*.mopvxml, etc had been checked.
But... what did you mean by m8?.
BTW: I will check inside os.nb now, but please give me fresh ideas
You may also want to check for a file called initflashfiles.dat. That contains a lot of shortcut information as well. Especially for apps that are default for that particular ROM. It should be found in the OEM\OEM_LANG_* folder in the kitchen. The (*) is the locale number. For example, a WWE ROM would have the folder as OEM_LANG_0409.
Yep, solved (initflashfiles.dat)
Hey, thanks! You´re FAST!
I was about to post it. But thanks, you could have saved me hours
Anyways. If anyone ever reads this thread, remember: scavenging os.nb(a) isn´t that great. An automated kitchen does it all (Hypercore in this case).
I also found somebody claiming that certain shortcut came from a dll. Just keep as a sidenote.
Cheers!
