1) It now installs the cabs before the settings, this is important if the installers overwrite settings with defaults.
2) Added a checkbox to allow for silent cab installs (much less annoying if you are autoinstalling 15 cabs, like me)
3) Fixed some file handling code, it wasn't creating sub folders if they were missing on the way to restore a file.
4) Updated the General Settings to have more options in it.
5) Added "Live Search" settings to the "Windows Live" so that it remembers the locations you've searched for. Still beta because I've had a few issues getting mail sync working.
6) Wrote a Picsel Config.xml, beta because I haven't tested it enough yet, and wasn't sure if people have it.
Sorry, still no installer cab. I've gotta stop working on the app long enough to work that out.

1) Added some smarts to sync up the start menu. It's more than just copying files into a folder, the program has to move the start menu items around to 'match' the backuped version.
Essentially, it looks at the backup version of the files. Then for each file it finds in the backup, it attempts to find the same file on in the /windows/start menu/ folder tree and will move them files (if found) into the location they are in the backup. This may not yield an exact duplicate if all of the shortcuts aren't found.
As a config file, it should run after the rest of the packages have been installed, so there is a good chance if you stage things right it will work properly. It's possible I could 'restore' missing link files from the backup directory in a future version if it proves to be worth while. I'm not sure if it will though, why would we want shortcuts to stuff which probably isn't installed.
2) I changed the 'Storage Folder' detection to exclude Bluetooth and ExtendedRom's. Also changed the functions philosophy to 'trust' the install location as a memory card. This means it looks to where the app is installed, try to 'find' a storage card with the same name. Hopefully, this should prevent continued false positives.
6/2 7:31 AM MST updated to 0.96
Fixed the storage card location code to not improperly detect the Bluetooth folder as a storage card.
Added debug code around the GetFiles call in the MoveDirectory function to try to see why it's crashing for some people.
6/1 10:51 PM MST updated to 0.95
Added some debug code to help with odd crashes
Changed the reg file encoder method to unicode
added Auto and Prompted cab installs
better caching of settings checks during interrupted (reboots) restores
probably added a few bugs for good measure
5/24 8:45 PM MST updated to 0.94
Used a function to figure out the "Storage Card" folder name for foreign languages.
5/24 12:43 MST updated to 0.93
Sorted the Packages upon import so we could control the package loading order
Added a spinning ball in places so the app looks busy
Added Provisioning XML support into the Config.xml (Big step)
Other minor fixes.
5/21 10:45 PM MST - Updated to 0.92
Fixed Recursive Folder Move Code - it was accidentally flattening the directory structure. Bad recursive function, Bad!
Fixed a crash which would occur if you were trying to backup a non-existent directory.
Fixed up an older config for Microsoft Reader - I hate losing my spot in a book each time I flash.
Settings Savior v0.97 Zip File Copy the contents of this to
\Storage Card\Program Files\SettingsSavior or it won't work.
thanks for such a quick fix
what is the Silently install cabs for?
Does the silent merely hide the process window? Or are you actually able to force the installed to SD and keep it hidden? If so, care to share your method?
Also, I have a couple of cabs that require me to enter some information before the install completes (like iLauncher needs you to select language). I noticed that having it autoload through a cooked ExtROM does not work - do you know if it will work using your cab installer. If you are not sure, I'll let you know next time I flash or HR.
Thanks!
btw: still getting the error message posted above in this version.
I'm getting an error when backup, screen shot attached.
did not get this with v0.9
Great tool
You should create a paypal donate button. I have been looking for something like this for a while.
Great Work!!!!!!!
Same here ... some soft like SPB phone suite requires a SR right after installation ... SPB pocket plus complains to be installed on SD and requires a confirmation ... Does the silent CAB installation takes care of that ?

Know which of checkbox's is the one which crashes it?
If you uncheck "My Documents" does it stop crashing? I think that one should be made (Beta) since it has difficulty backing up 'Templates'.
I'll delete my full install and try again. I can also put some 'Try' code around that to trap the error, thanks for the screenshots. What are you taking them with?

Without it checked you will get prompted to install all your packages. Annoying if you have 15 packages to install like I do.
With it, they install over and over in the background. It automatically accepts the default install location (Internal memory I think).

I don't have that app. Batti prompts me to alter it's settings and that still works. Citrix prompts me to accept a license agreement, that still works.
The Cingular Dialup settings prompts me to reboots, that's surpressed.
Let me know how it works for you, I liked it. It is a bit strobe-a-delic.

Cool, I'm bummed it's crashing for a few folks. I'll work tonight on tracking that down. I figured people just weren't installing it properly or something.
The paypal button on http://geekspeakradio.com will work fine if you want to use it. I'll put it somewhere else later, thank in advance for the generousity.

I'm afraid you'll have to try it out. Batti popups up a window during install and it works ok with the streamlined silent install option.
You don't have to flash the device to test this feature if you want. Uninstall the package. Then everything except the 'Install Cabs' and pick restore.
You can backup and restore settings without having to blow away your device first.
Sorry it's crashing, if you could tell me which checkbox causes the crash that would be helpful. Try unchecking My Documents; it's the one with the most problems for me, because there is so much potential for unknown crap in there.
Thanks,
Rob

I'm working on hard to make sure we aren't developing competing programs. Since my app doesn't set any features (just restores them) I think we are in the clear.
Since I found the answer on the internet, I doubt it's really all that secret. I'm using the /nodelete /silent switches.
Hope that helps, I like your app and would love to make sure we write Provisioning XML code which is compatibile. Send me a private message if you want to work together.
Thanks,

Hi Rob,
I did not check "My documents" since it restore all files to "My Documents" folder instead of it's subfolders (in v0.9). However, I did a little troubleshooting by backup with only one box checked at a time, it seems "Windows Live (beta)" is the one causing trouble, all others okay.
btw, the screenshots are taken by "True Connect" (PC application)
Thanks for the app, it saved me 2 hours of work after flashing CUSTEL 2.5 last night.
Hey Man looking good so far only one thing will cause an error for my and thats "General Windows Mobile Settings" i CAN post the error log it throws if you like...
something null point error =)
Since it is install cabs into Memory. A suggestion- why not create 2 separated directories for cabs - 1 into memory and 1 into storage card ( Not sure how hard it is to implement this tho... ). Cheers

You are absolutely correct about mydocs! Nice catch I hadn't noticed.
Thanks, I fixed it.
I also think I fixed the issue with Windows Live. If I'm not mistaken it was trying to copy the contents of a folder which didn't exist on your device. Have you ever run "Live Search"?
Here's an update, let me know how it goes.
Oh, I also added a config for "Microsoft Reader".

That's an interesting idea. I haven't seen a way to direct them to the location of your choice. I'll look around and see what I can find.

That sucks, a ton of settings are saved in that config. Most of the good stuff....
You could try out the 0.92 I just posted, there were definately issues with trying to backup non-existant directories. However, I don't think the General Windows Mobile has any directories though. Please post the error if you don't mind.
I'll look over the registry code, I don't think it would crash trying to backup keys if they don't exist, but who knows. That's what testing it for.
Thanks,

hi... is there a way to disable permanantly XT9 on the S620 - Excalibur?
Thx
Alt-Space
Pressing Alt, Space will allow you to select The "Abc" entry over XT9 as your default entry mode. The JogBar Disabler (I forget its name offhand) also changes this in the registry.
THANKS great

Using the Auto Installation Feature
Step 1: Preparing the cabs
---------------------------
- To use the auto installation features, the cabs must be set to "Read Only", must not have any "setup dll", and must have a "hard coded installation path" which means you should not be allowed an option to choose where to install the cabs.
- To set the cabs to a static path, install WinCECab Manager.
- Open a cab with WinCE Cab Manager and click on "CAB Information".
- Double click on "Default Install Dir" then select "Installation Directory" tab and choose "Do not allow user to select installation directory"
- Save the cab then right click on the can and select "Read Only" and click apply/OK.
- Check if there "Setup dll" is present under Cab Information. If setup dll is present, delete it off.
- Check and prepare all the cabs you want to auto install and place them into the Cabs Folder.
Step 2: Editing the Config.txt file
-----------------------------------
- You will now need to add the file names into the config.txt file.
- Open up Config.txt in "Cabs" folder with Notepad.
- You should see the following content:
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\Call_Firewall.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\TCPMP.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\FlashVideoBundle.CAB
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\Threaded_SMS.cab
LOCK: Disabled
RST: Reset
- Ignore the Fist line "LOCK" and the last two lines "LOCK", "RST"
- From here on, it should be pretty straight forward. For every cab you want to install, you will need the line:
Code:
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\*CAB FILE NAME*
- Simply Add the name of the cabs you prepared earlier into this file and click "save".
- Right click on the config.txt file and select Read Only.
Step 3: HARD RESET!
---------------------
- Finally, HARD RESET the phone by holding down the two soft keys simultaneously, and push the reset button with the stylus
- Auto installation will begin after the Rom completes its configuration
THAT's ALL!! Not too hard is it?

FAQ
Q: Hardware keyboard symbols are incorrectly mapped....
A: Default Layout is AT&T 8525's layout. You can change the layout with PHM Registry. Select the Keyboard layout shortcut and change the settings to:
Q: I cannot map HOTVOICE to button 5
A: This is a known issue with the current keyboard driver, you can map hotvoice to any other buttons but button 5.
Q: My GPRS/MMS is not working
A: Install Connection Setup cab. Go into settings -> connection tab -> connection setup, and setup your operator.
Q: After playing with Advanced Config/SK tools with this rom, the beam button in Comm Manager disappeared!
A: Add the missing button back from Advanced config. Button 10 = "Beam" or don't use those tools.
Q: I can't save pocket outlook attachments to storage card.
A: Make sure Extended Rom is hidden.
Q: How do I close apps? clicking on "X" only minimizes the apps (LITE ONLY)
A: Press and hold "X" until app closes in Full version. For Lite version, install a task manager. (Recommendation: HTC Task Manager + Task switch combo (included in Full) | WkTask)
Q: How do I get WM5torage to work? I activated the app but nothing happens
A: After activating WM5torage, click on menu -> troubleshooting -> disable both options.
Q: The Rom doesn't look anything like the picture.
A: Chances are you downloaded the Lite Version. Full version is shown in the picture.
Q: After installing HTC Action Screen in the LITE rom, the soft keys still show Contacts/Calendar
A: Change the following registry settings with PHM Registry:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112]
@="Actions"
"Open"="\Windows\HTCActionScreen.exe"
(113 = Right soft key, 112= Left soft key)
Q: How do I disable Random Access? (Those letters on the right of Contacts)
A: Change the following registry settings with PHM Registry:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113]
"Open"="\Windows\Contacts"
or Simply uninstall it if you are using the full version. Make sure "end" contacts in memory management before uninstalling.
Q: I am using a different theme in this rom, how can I change Random Access bar color?
A: Copy RS_Bar.png & RS_Ind.png from Windows dir, change the color, and toss them back into Windows
Q: How can I enable startup animation and sound? (NOT Recommended)
A: It is not recommended to enable startup animation and sound as it cripples the phone volume.
Add the following registry keys
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation]
"Volumn"=dword:20
"WAVFile"="\SOURCE DIRECTORY\Startup_sounds.wav"
"GIFFile"="\SOURCE DIRECTORY\HTC.gif"
"Enabled"=dword:1
Source directory = Wherever your files are i.e. Windows, Extended_ROM, an etc
Q: After changing to other themes and going back to K's theme, the theme is no longer black but gray
A: Download the file (BlackGlossyBars.cab) from the archived thread and install it. You will need to do this every time after you changed to other theme. Alternatively, you can change the basehue registry value to 160 using PHM Registry.
Q: How to View/Store Pictures in Storage Card
A: By default, HTC album searches pictures in My Pictures and DCIM folder.
Code:
- Create "My Documents" folder in storage card
- Create "My Pictures" and "My Videos" folders in My Documents
- In the camera, select storage card for default storage location
Pictures taken will be saved in storage card.
Q: How do I get HTC Album to show all pictures
A: Rename My Pictures Folder to something else and HTC Album will show all pictures.
Q: Will you cook in the HTC Album with folder selection option?
A: No. It prompts you to select the folder every time which is a nuisance, and it is buggy.
Q: The rom drains battery quickly!
A: Let the battery fully drain out, then do a full recharge.

Great work Kin0kin!!! I know, I know, these "thank you" posts sucks, but only today

Great Job, bro ! I think this is the right time to donate

@Kin0Kin
Do you recommend to use the pagepool changer tool to adjust it 6 megs instead of 4 ? Or the 4 megs is enough ?
Thanks
Thanks Kin0Kin for your great ROM!
I have uploaded the 6mbpp version. You can flash whichever you want. Also, if you do not plan on using the auto install feature, take out your storage card and the Rom will complete and reset after installing everything from extended rom.

Is the path 'Storage Card\Cabs\' hardcoded? How does the OS find the config.txt file?
Nice job K. Seems to be hanging in the install of TCPMP, I hard reset and tried again, same thing. I will install the cab manually after a reset.
Edit: Looks like the path is not hard coded hence the hang. Easy fix. Great fast ROM.

My install looked like it hung on TCPMP too, but after much patience, it did finish.
However, I think I mucked up the auto CAB install by not putting the config.txt file in the right spot. Must figure out...
Other thoughts -- I had to download the Connection Setup cab from the 1.30a thread as it's not part of this package? Once I ran that, data connection is config'd correctly (for AT&T/US).
Well Done & Thanks
Kin0kin,
Well done. Just about to install. Hope you took my advice and went out for a beer!
I really do like your work. I thought Schaps was cutting edge but you certainly create some very effective roms. My donation will be with you shortly.
Great job and thanks. Now for god's sake go out; its new year!

BTW, is there any other tool for preparing cabs for auto install other than WinCE cab manager?
Some cabs take longer than the others to install, they will look like they are frozen but they will move after awhile (i.e. htc home). Also, the included TCPMP has a much nicer icon hope you guys like it. I should also change WMP's icon one day.
I'm not sure what else can you use to change the folder path, but if you have trouble changing some of the cabs, you can upload the files here and I'd have them changed. Also, do note that cabs that prompts an option after installation i.e. illumsoft screen capture will not auto install.
Yeah I'm taking a break now
EDIT: keitht, can you post up the fixed tcpmp? my copy works fine, maybe I used another copy from another folder (my pc is like a jungle here!)
Yeah, the TCPMP.CAB is hanging near end of install. As stated, it needs to be unmarked as Read only, tweaked with the WinCE Cab Manager and modified to not allow user to select installation directory, save, then mark as read only again and move to the storage card\cabs to replace original.
EDIT: Kin0kin: I waited about 3 minutes and it was still hung. After making the change above, it flew through the install without the hang. I recommend making this change and repackage the download.
EDIT 2: Attached is the modified CAB
WWE 6.1 with English only release
This version includes English, with eT9 Input method, MS/Cyberon Voice Command and finally, Segoe Font. Not only does this version look official but is also very fast and stable.

Can someone tell me why whenever I use the USPL.bat and run all that crap on my phone, hit YES twice for haret.exe and all that, but the screen won't go black. It stays all white and I can't flash anything. Really getting on my nerves.
What I do for Flash this ROM:
run unlock.exe - for unlock the software
run the RUU exe
Everything else are "press any key", "Y/N", "Next" and that's all .
When the RUU exe works my screen is white.
EDIT: Haret is for official (no cooked) ROMS and maybe is not compatable with this rom

Help!! I'm in the middle of flash!!
Now it asks me ""execute SPL now - press center button on your Excalibur and screen should turn nearly white". What should I do?
I click the center button on the direction pad, but the screen doesn't turn white?
Update: I found JumpSPL.exe under phone root directory. So I executed it, now the phone stops at a screen says: Jump Address 0x00000, and a OK button. What should I do now?
Please help....

Just make sure that once you hit enter and the screen on your phone goes white, you need to go to ActiveSync - Connection Settings - and disable USB Connections. Then proceed with setup.

(5)Getting your device to write in English, you will need to install the "eT9 text app" to your device, and copy it to the windows directory, soft reset your device, next, install the "JogBar" app and check mark the box "Enable T9 " and you use the "alt" key to exit out from the Chinese writing.
i've installed the eT9 text app, and rebooted, then installed the JogBar app and checked the Enable T9 already. But when i write a text file and i press alt+space, the setup for keytouch still appears. i still don't have the eT9 thingy. i can't get to this part: and you use the "alt" key to exit out from the Chinese writing.
Any help guys?
Click to expand...

Oldsap,
What are you trying to do exactly? Get the entry field/T9 in English? If that is your question, I didn't use the JogBar app was able to get mine in all English doing the following:
1) Hit alt-space when in some type of text-entry field.
2) Press up (Setup).
3) Select 2-EN (for English).
4) 'Display Candidates List' will pop up (Yes if you want them)
Then, when back in some type of text-entry field:
1) Hit alt-space, then
2) Press down on the pad (Lang), and
3) then Left (to select EN).
That worked for me. Make sure you have changed your regional settings in all areas as well and, as you mentioned, dropped the attached file into the windows folder.
Let me know if that works, if not, I'll rethink what steps I took.
The messaging shortcut (e.g. short_msg.lnk) is fixed to open up the text messaging. As I want the 'account picker' to be displayed, the link needed editing.
Here's the attachment. Just unzip and drop in your windows directory and replace the ROM's version. If you like it defaulting to the text messaging and don't care about the account picker, you don't need to do anything.

just use Accessories\Command Processor input:
LINK %W\short_MSG.lnk,tmail.exe,-service "SMS"
then press Processor
I've fix the MSG button in the original keyboard driver,so now you can map the MSG button to any app.just rename the app link name to short_MSG.lnk and put it into windows folder

Use this cab, and install to main memory. Fixed it for me although no items are shown in the PC Connection and Network Connection. I'm using it to tether while writing this e-mail. The original thread this came from is found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1949360&postcount=644

This is a great ROM, well built.
Given my device now thinks its a Dopod c720w, clearly that is the origin of the ROM. A question though - is this WM 6.1 build based on an official Dopod build? Or is it based on beta code?
I have also noticed that the Internet Explorer in this ROM does not have issues with php pages like the latest HTC official build.
Love it, and thanks
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Base on Brightpoint 1.33
Cause I'm a chinese,in china Excalibur call DopodC720W,so i change the name to DopodC720W,you can OverWrite the ModelName.txt in Windows folder to change the Module Name.

After 30 min testing I can say - best rom ever.
I will This is new HTC WM6 ROM v.s. Kavana WM6.1 ROM for me:
Kavana ROM:
+more settings
+more software
+easy installation
+better IEP
+cool default theme
+more language layouts
HTC ROM:
+Better Radio
+More free RAM
+Official release and thats why Less buggy
Important for the new Kavana ROM - everbody who don't use voice command, must remove voice shortcut from windows/startup directory - this will increase free RAM and battery life.

I use Radio the same as HTC's last 1.33 official ROM.
Thanks to denominator77 we now know how to recmod some modules
denominator77 said:
1. FixRecMod.exe your_dll_folder
2. LordPE -> PE Editor -> choose the recmoded dll -> get ImageBase value -> add the value to BaseOfCode and BaseOfData -> Save&OK
Sometimes ImageBase is not properly restored by FixRecMod.exe. If IDA has not identified any imported function, then try the following steps to fix the addresses:
1. Go to .pdata segment
2. There will be a list of "Function start" and "Function end" definitions
3. Take the first "DCD 0xNNNNZZZZ ; Function start"
4. In the most cases ImageBase will be 0xNNNN0000
5. Run LordPE and update ImageBase, BaseOfCode, and BaseOfData

I'm sorry to bumb such an old thread, but please could you try recmodding the SystemInfo exes and dlls from the ShellDogfood package? They are really old, but there is a possibility that they could run on current version of WP. And if they don't run, is there a way to debug them?
