Advanced ext.rom config - del or move files from cmd line

Hi mates,
I'm currently modifying my ext.rom to install and configure every app I use, but also to configure windows itself. I managed to find a workaround for almost every issue I got, but I'm still stuck with one thing ^_^
Does anyone know a cmd-line tool to delete/move some files ?
So as I can include a batch in my extended rom installation, as I want my start menu re-organised.
Thank you for your answers !

I know copy and execute exe's but not delete or move, perhaps you could (if you program at all) write a very basic ppc app to move/delete the files and run that with extrom installation

I'm kind of a developper, but never tried myself to ppc world ^^
And.... I unfortunately miss time right now to learn that, so I would rather find a nice little .exe to do that for me
Thanks anyway !

After disassembling autorun.exe I found some interresting strings which would seem that besides the known commands:
Show
Exec
cab
copy1 and copy2 (copy&paste)
Lock
Reset
It could also delete, and some more usefull stuff:
Code:
(Ignore the "a"; its added by the disassembler)
aAutoruncfg 000160CC
aAutoruntype 00016618
aBkl1 000165F0
aCab 00016190 ; install Cab
aComm 000160E4
aComm_0 00016654

aDelete 0001601C
aDelloadvdiskfl 00016630
aDisabled 000162F0 ;Flag

aShow 00016184 ;show background image during install
aTurnradioflag 000165FC
aVal 00016058
XML:
Is another command, usage, unknown
Hope these strings help you building your perfect extended Rom.
You could Write a testfile eg.: test.txt and test2.txt to your extended rom of your device (because this file stays during hard reset), make a config.txt only containing the line:
Code:
Forceremove: \Extended_ROM\test.txt
Delete: \Extended_ROM\test2.txt
Otherwise try:
Code:
Exec:\windows\DeleteFile.exe \Extended_ROM\test.txt ; <- this one most defenatly works!!!

Very interesting indeed ! But unfortunately I couldn't manage to make them delete my files..... What I tried :
Forceremove:Enabled
Delete: \path\file
Forceremove: \path\file
None of that worked out.

THIS IS THE FILE I NEED !!!! It looks like it's not a standard OS file, I guess Faria had it integrated into a cooked rom, so..... PLEASE ! anyone having that rom could send it to me ?
Thanks for your answers, it's been very helpfull.

Artemis Windows Mobile 6 WWE

This ROM is based on the official German O2 ROM:
http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/xda/xdaorbit/index.html
- replaced the localized packages
- removed the O2 operator package (Settings and O2 Theme)
Big thanks to rvbcrs for helping and mirroring
I don’t have an Artemis... ok, my girlfriend has one, but she would kill me if I use that... so the ROM has not been tested.
Please report all problems here.
!!! This thread is not for questions about unlocking the device !!!
- In case that you have questions about that open your own thread -
Download the ROM by reading and clicking the red text

Some screen captures: (again thanks to rvbcrs!)

whAT about to compile it to nbh back? for exam use dopod Radio, empty extrom. And flfash it back?

Bepe ..!
this is cool
Thanks a lot

---updated---
Thought to try using the PDAMobiz package and replace the ROM and give it a try even though it's based on pdocwrite.. Result is an error during writing at some time.. So kids don't try this is you don't know how to recover using the bootloader or you'll have a brick.
------
I'm actually flashing it at the moment... I hope I won't regret this..
... but somebody has to try..

worked with small error, reset works perfect now
I need to upload pics but not allowed here..

Hi,
Can you tell us how you flashed it ? From bootloader results in a CRC/Certificate error.. Using pdocwrite (modified from PDAMobiz) resulted in a somewhat delayed write error here.. So what did I miss ?

press voice command button and press reset -colour bars - loaded success
then used ARTE from FTP site, copied os.nb to arte folder and rename it to windows.nb -run upgraderom.bat.

Update:
Never mind. Figured it out..

Hi,
What file exactly do you mean (filename pls) ? I only know of the PDAMobiz roms which are installed using a batch file.. The only ARTE I know if the official Dopod firmware update but it doesn't come with a batch file..

is your device orbit ?
is it cid-unlocked ?
then use winrar to unpack the (bepe) wm6 wwe rom in this page (written in red). flashed using bootloader method.
after u get german rom installed , run ARTE os flash utility from xda ftp.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Artemis/arte.zip unpack
copy os.nb from first folder (bepe) wwe rom to arte folder and rename os.nb to windows.nb then run UpgradeRom.bat
hard reset, soft reset done.

hello
how to run arte flasher on vista 64bit?
thanks

Requires a reset here since the os.nb/windows.nb update never finishes visually.. After that it works fine (after the reset needed during the missing bmp when customization attempts to start), exactly as you described.. Works great
For those wondering.. Works fine under Vista (32 bit version).. No idea about 64 bit version.

I tried to flash it yesterday with the updaterom.bat file and it just stayed copying to my phone so I thought it did not work, but after killing the process after 25 min and resetting my phone I had WWE WM6 on my Artemis, still I think it is strange that pdocwrite never finishes. Apart from that great ROM some minor issues..

Cant download full ROM, only 24 M and stop, tried few times. Can someone upload to different place. Please!!

bepe, can you tell me how much free RAM you have? I hope that you have more than 30 MB by removing all the O2 stuff. I never had more than 30 MB after a hard reset and some of my apps need 30 but I have only 20 now.

I was wondering if the apps e.g. windows live messenger are still in German?

Why i can't download form this link? I saw that: " 530 Permission denied". Pls tell me why? I want to use English. Thanks!

My Orbit is from O2 UK, does it still have to be CID unlocked to get this WM6 on it?

It really is a WWE rom... I replaced all German files and rebuilded (not edited!) the Registry based on the WWE packages. The screencaptures will prove it

I suppose you really know how to do this stuff. Can you tell me which tools I need for "cookin" my own ROM? I'd like to have it in German and with my own Ext ROM, maybe I can get rid of some apps that waste my RAM. I only need the names of the tools, I'd guess they are on the xda-dev ftp server. And how do I extract the ROM from the installation file? In your signature you have a nice GUI for the Hermes stuff, is it the same for the Artemis. If you want you can send me a short PM in German.
By the way, the link should be: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Artemis/arte.zip thats what people say about error 530

Is it because you installed new apps and themes?

Thats right. I remember it was 47+ free storage and around 24 mb free program memory after flasing and resetting.
