QuickCab 2.0
Like most people around here I enjoy customizing my phone. Problem is that copying files and applying a bunch of Registry tweaks by hand is tedious. I've built CAB files in the past but creating the INF files is an ugly process...not for the feignt of heart.
So I created a utility called QuickCab that makes creating CAB files easy. It doesn't support every possible scenario, but if what you want to do is copy files or change the registry, it works quite well. This is perfect for Themes, Ringtones, Tweaks, and Mods.
***Requires the .Net Framework 3.5 which can be found here

Hello. First off great program. However i am running vista and when trying to save it comes up with a blank screen.
also in order to select individual files i need to right click the files.
Import button on reg screen doesnt work.
keep working on it and this will turn into a great app.
great work.. will try this out this weekend...
this is very helpful. thanks

I'm running Vista as well...when you save it, I assume you mean when you hit the Create button. If that's the case, it's writing the INF file and spawning CABWIZ.EXE. If you selected large files, it could take awhile. Maybe I need to put up some "wait..." notification?

Yikes! The right-click thing really confuses me...It's a standard control that I use for the file selection. I couldn't make that happen if I tried! When you hit the Import button, do you get a window where you can select the reg file?
Anyone else seeing these issues?
it would also be very nice if it can support shortcut creation

Yep! That and compression are coming in the next version.
nice tool, for sure a lot of guys will appreciate
I am new to cab creation. With cabs made with this, is the cab uninstallable? If the cab makes a registry change, does uninstalling that cab, change the registry back to its old value before cab installation?
Thanks for this I am going to use this after a Hard reset to test somethings out this weekend is going to be FUN!!!!!
Very very useful program.
Ideal for vanilla ROM lovers like me
It could be even better program if we could edit cabs, changing default directories, for instance from \window to \Storage Card

Sorry for taking so long to respond, had a family member die and was out with that. I'm not an expert with cabs themselves, so I don't know the answer. It'd be pretty easy to test it out though...create a registry entry and create a cab to change it. then uninstall it.

Interesting idea. I've tossed around the idea of being able to load a cab up and make modifications to it. I'll probably have to work on the UI a bit first. Maybe in a couple versions from now...right now there are a couple of bugs I'm working on and supporting compression, shortcuts, and a default directory.
THANK YOU for the suggestion!
Great idea. Can't wait to test it when i great my computer back
interesting... will try this out & keep an eye out. thanks

It is a great application.
Just there is a problem with the registry import function: if a string value contains comma (,) then only the first item is imported, everyhting after the comma is just simply cut.
Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.
Thanks man, great app and works like a charm, really appreciate your work
Thanks for your effort!
I will try it on my X01HT.
Thanks. This will be very helpful to streamline setting up the phone after flashing.
I am trying to use this to cab some of the standard regedits I make, but I need a little guidance. Could someone please post an example of 1) how to change an existing registry key and 2) how to add a new one? Thanks.

This is a simple script for helps in locating cpr and dll(it actually looks for dla files like the weather ones are named) files that you have stored on your phone. With it, you can navigate to your file and choose it, and then it will take care of overwriting the current file being used.
I wrote this because I change up my cpr files alot and have different dll files that each one works better with different themes. So I wanted to be able to make a folder on storage card for dlls and cprs that I could easily copy and set on my homescreen.
To use this, once you have placed it on your phone. Run the FileChanger.mscr. It will ask which type of file you want to find and change, pick one and hit OK. Next, the File System Viewer will open and you will need to navigate to where you keep the file and choose it. Click OK, and it will ask you if you want to set the file change. Push Yes or No, and it will do the rest.
You can install these 2 files(in the zip below) anywhere on your phone as long as they stay within the same folder. They can be in main or storage, program files, my documents, wherever you want. Once placed, you could create a link to start menu or use CHome Config to set it to a panel for easy calling. Your cpr and dll files can be place wherever you want also, and do not have to be in the same folders. They could be scattered as long as you know where to look.

***This is a mortscript file and you will need Mortscript to run it. I attached the cab below for anyone not already using it.
***This only works for Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard
I could have placed this in a cab, but then it would install where I wanted to keep it, and not your choice other than main or storage. That's why I left in zip form. I will add some dll files tomorrow.
EVERYONE : If you have dll files or cpr files you would like to share( and I know some of you have them and can make them) PLEASE post them in here for everyone to enjoy.
Added portrait version so cprs would load correctly.
Here's some neon glow dll files for your homescreen. These dll files also includes new default icons. Just install using the changer.
Here's a few more. After unzipping, just put them on your phone and use the changer to install.
Here's some cpr files that will work to put a simple ODSHOWeather display on clock panel. There is a slim panel and a standard size panel version. Just unzip and use the changer to install.
The Feather zip is for use with Feather Weather and includes slim, standard and mini panels.
All are for landscape devices.
This is exactly what I'm looking for....I'll have to try to figure this editing out.
Thank you so much showaco. That was so simple and exactly what I wanted. Is there a way to slow down the scrolling text. It's fippin fast.

yeah, LOL, in the weather folder. Look in program files\outerdepth\kpweather\ and find loop.mscr. Open this with notepad on your pc. When you look at it you will see the text lines being written, with the RegWriteString lines.
After each one of these, there is a Sleep command. The numbers are milleseconds, so 1000 would be 1 second, 4000 would be 4 seconds, 3500- 3.5 seconds. That's how to set the time delay, just change to desired delay, resave, and then copy to phone. You can set each sleep command to a different delay if you want, some of the texts take less time to read and some more, so just play and get it where you like it.

Yeah, I'll post it tonight, I'll put up the whole theme you put together. I was hoping ya'll would all post your stuff on here. I know you and Outerdepth and NRG all have some, I started to post them all and decided I would let ya'll do it if you wanted to share. Thanks for posting yours!

ok.... i only asked you to post that one since i didn't keep that theme or .dll (imagine that?)
This is great, this way i can try yours and even put the WM7 dll from the weather 3.1 app and try them all easily.
Finally got my homescreen how i want it, but different panels to try would be great.
Since my troubles always came from my panels disappearing with a full replacement of cpr files, would it be possible the script replaces common parts of cpr files but leaves panels it doesn't know alone? (Worst are the NRG cpr files bringing up myfaves and the like)And does not show panels that are currently hidden? For say different versions of ClockExpanded w/o touching any of the others?
That would be most awesomest!
But even just replacing bronze in a jiffy is great, thanks,

the cpr file is either all or nothing... no merging or editing....... basically the cpr file is similar in concept to the home.xml files..... the cpr file can be edited in notepad as well ( if you have a bit of understanding of how .css or .xml works) what basically happens is that the file( for the excalibur) it replaces the chome_320x240.cpr in the windows directory. The only way a .cpr file will mess up your panels (all by itself) is if a certain chome name ( such as "operator services" or "music") are omitted from the .cpr file..... usually the culprit is something in the registry that has to be manually changed.
I have mortscript.exe in my /Windows directory, courtesy of MiniWeather. If I place these two files into a directory on my storage card, will they still work ok, or do they need to be in the same folder as mortscript?

I believe it will work. If they say not associated with an app, then go to your mortscript.exe and click on it to see if that will register them and then try them again. If they still won't work, then you can do one of two things: 1) move the file changer.mscr and chomerefresh.exe into the folder with the mortscript(they only take up about 3 kb) or 2) download the mortscript cab I posted which I know can run files from anywhere. I have my changer in a new folder I made called changer along with all my files on the storage card. The cpr and dla files do not need to be in same folder as the changer itself, so you can put the cpr and dla files in storage while the file changer itself is in main.
Here's the theme and the dla by itself for all the longhorn fans!
The theme zip has the dll, the scheme.xml, and the UT wallpaper.
Enjoy, courtesy of Pudgedaddy, because he loves the longhorns.hehe
Right, Pudge? Maybe I'll see you at the Red River Rivalary game.
Mini Panels
Here's a cpr for mini panels, they are narrower in width and work with ODSHOWeather for the clock. Shown here with neon blue dll.
I really don't want this thread to end up in the dumpster. Its such a neat tool and i love theming my phone.
Here's a few new dll files just for sports. I included a gold and silver tint to go with the olympics(lol). Also, here's a texans logo panel.
Any requests for team logos?
Here's a new dll file for a variant of the chrome border, this one is by Kron2.
EDIT: Post your questions and discoveries regarding WM6.5 skinning here. For finished themes, you may visit this thread. Thanks.
My aim is to centralize WM6.5 Themes and any discovery on how to skin items such as messageboxes, etc. and any discovery on which could be changed via registry values.
I myself have just started on playing around with it and here is what I have so far:
1) Files could be saved anywhere on the Storage memory. I opted to save my image files and tsk files on \My Documents\Themes folder instead of overwriting the default files on the \Windows directory.
2) Which could be skinned: Bubble, Listview, Menu, Messagebox, Scrollbar, Tabview, Taskbar, Toast, UpDown Control.
3) Main Registry keys/values to look at:
- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\MultiColorTheme\
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\MultiColorThemeEnabled = 1
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Bubble, etc.
- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\MultiColorTheme\
- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\MultiColorTheme\ThemeColors
- HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\MultiColorTheme\ThemeValues
As an example i created a theme posted on post#2.
Anything you discover with regards to theme generation or any registry keys to consider you can post on this thread. Thanks.
If you have created your own themes, you are welcome to post them here!

Hopefully the beginning of something extremely useful. Trying to put together some sort of idea of how the whole thing works together.
Please edit this page to update your findings! I've been very hit and miss in finding what these registry values actually change, although I think I've got a pretty good handle on how the whole thing works...
If you need some explanation, please drop a PM I'd be happy to explain so we can all figure this out.

A 'theme' cab is simply a .CAB renamed to .TSK. My instructions aren't 'there' but they're simply in-between the lines (I added this to my (now) mega-post):
1. Name your theme (use your name instead of the *)
2. Make your images according to the guidelines set. If you don't know what each image does, unpack some of the original shipped themes to get some ideas.
3. Make the TSK. Use WinCECabManager to edit my base theme so that wherever a key says "REPLACEWITHNAME" in the Registry section, put in *.
4. Add wallpapers. This is where you have to make separate files for VGA and QVGA. You need stwater_640_480.jpg, stwater_480_640.jpg, stwater_320_240.jpg, and stwater_640_480.jpg each at the resolutions given. Just drag and drop your files (these will be the backgrounds) into the Files section of your TSK and put them in the Windows folder and select Hard Code Path.
5. Save your TSK and create a new CAB. This will be your theme installer.
6. Drag and drop all of your TSK theme elements and the TSK itself into the files section and put all of the files in /My Documents/Themes/*/ and select Hard Code Path.
7. Test your theme by installing it. Select your theme in the Today settings and check that all of your theme elements are displayed. If some aren't, make sure you have everything in the right path and at the right resolution (also check filename!). If you had to edit something, just recompile your theme and test again.
8. If your theme works, share it! We all love a new theme in our midst Make sure you take some screenshots (preferably of the Home Screen and the Dialer with the right soft-key pressed) with SPB Screenshot. Then add your screenshots to the PSD template that is provided in the first post of this thread.

a tsk file is just a cab file. I use WinCE Cab Manager to make my tsk files and cab files.
I'm still trying to figure out registry keys to change the colors. I found a few but not that much. I was able to change the some colors via Basecolor1, Basecolor2, Basecolor3 and Basecolor4. Also via ThemeValues. Please see the registry keys on post 1.
I hope anybody who has a more comprehensive detail on the registry keys to change so we can better control the colors of the theme would post them here.

Skinnable
Compile the files into 1 executable
Description:
racer7 said:
It's finished! I've got a GUI made that utilizes existing command line tools to allow a user to freely convert CABs to OEM and EXT files!
As you can see, it's a simple GUI. However, it becomes quite powerful once you use it. The user can click and drag CABs into the listbox and they will be automatically added. Select the CABs you want to convert by clicking on them and highlighting them.
There is a library file that is needed in order to run it called COMDLG32.ocx. This is installed when the self-extracting archive is finished. That's what the batch file and library dialog that pops up is all about. Nothing to worry about.
There are no checks to see if the conversions have been successful, so that will still need to be done manually by the user. I hope to figure out a way to tell if they were successful or not eventually.
As for comments, questions, or suggestions, feel free to make them!

Anyone willing to use cab2oem and EXT_PAckages_rebuilder.exe and create a GUI where a user can: select which cabs/packages he wants to convert, allow cab to oem, oem to ext, and cab to ext. It should be able to allow you to pick the input and output directory. It needs to be able to pick multiple cabs from different directories. I suck at graphics, so if someone could make a concept. This would be a great tool for rom cookers. Da_G had directed me to make batch files, but I was having problems with those not working with all cabs so I thought of and idea and hope could make it possible.

+1 for this! I'm sick of having to CAB2NEWKITCHEN all my cabs each time I add a new one.
Any chance the cabs you're running into an issue with are missing the setup.xml Kraize? They're the only cabs I haven't been able to convert to a package.
By the way, great work with the batch files. Cheers.
EDIT: I could probably do a concept design too but I'm leaving work soon so it'll have to wait until later unless someone beats me to the punch.

Yes. Me and Jason were having problems with the ones without setup.xml files lol. But I think that's a fault of Cab2oem, but I'm not totally sure. Maybe someone more intelligent could clue us in.
The worst part was when it said there was no _setup.xml and it STILL said it couldn't convert due to a missing _setup.xml!
Anyways, working on this in VB6 (stfu, i'm a noob)
Should be able to post something up shortly!

Anyways, working on this in VB6 (stfu, i'm a noob)
Should be able to post something up shortly!

Go jason go!
I asked Chainfire, but this doesn't float his boat nor is it his cup of tea.
It's finished! I've got a GUI made that utilizes existing command line tools to allow a user to freely convert CABs to OEM and EXT files!
As you can see, it's a simple GUI. However, it becomes quite powerful once you use it. The user can click and drag CABs into the listbox and they will be automatically added. Select the CABs you want to convert by clicking on them and highlighting them.
There is a library file that is needed in order to run it called COMDLG32.ocx. This is installed when the self-extracting archive is finished. That's what the batch file and library dialog that pops up is all about. Nothing to worry about.
There are no checks to see if the conversions have been successful, so that will still need to be done manually by the user. I hope to figure out a way to tell if they were successful or not eventually.
As for comments, questions, or suggestions, feel free to make them!
(By the way, I couldn't have started this project without Kraize bugging me to make his life easier. So thank Kraize, too.)
Good stuff
Btw guys, I suggest you wait a while (say 5-6mins) before clicking OK in the message box if you have 100+ cab files. There are still some cab files that will not convert because they do not have a _setup.xml file We need to contact the dev of cab2oem and see what we can do about that.

Its not just cabs that dont have _setup.xml, have had a few where in the conversion I get no app.dat or app.reg, look in the files folder and right at the top is the bloomin _setup.xml!!

Aye. If you run that cab manually through the converters, it still won't convert. It's a problem with the converters, unfortunately. Well, to be fair, it's probably a problem with the CAB file's _setup.xml, because I'm pretty darn sure that the converter can find it if it's there.
When I get bored tonight, I'll take a look at it and see what's different between the CAB files that work and the CAB files that don't.
Bah! seems like god is playing with me..all my cabs converted...somehow o.o, I had to do a few manually, but they converted.
EDIT: These are the ones that didn't convert via the gui.

Really? For all your cabs? For me it seemed that way, but then I got an error with platformbuilder.exe and it put my rom on hold
Its not working for me but that may be because I'm on windows 7..I'm not sure yet..
thx,
just what i needed for fingermenu and fingerkeyboard.
cheers
EDIT:worked fine, time to optimize the OEM (remove QVGA files, etc)
Great tool to custom cook your own rom with app you want.... thanx a lot..

I'm cooking on win7 build 7232 64 bit and nog problems in using this tool.

Hey all,
28205 Hot off the press
COME AND GET IT!!
[highlight]Note: This is a UC Rom. When the zip is decompressed, you will see a folder called XDA-UC that has a bunch of cabs inside. Place that folder (and all of its contents in the root of your Storage Card. Right after the initial boot is done, soft reset the device. When it starts up again, UC will start by itself saying that it will install all the contents in the UC folder. Be patient since it will seem as if the device weren't doing anything. When its done, it will ask you if you want to reset it. The whole installation of cabs takes between 5 and 7 minutes (because of Manila)[/highlight]
Change-log:
28205 Rev 0 (1-4-10)
*Brand New WM 6.5.3 Build 28205
*Fixed BT icon not showing in the top bar
*Generic Carrier Rom. (you must install your DCD carrier cab or else your ##Phone Codes will not work [ie EPST, DATA, etc])
*Added Total Commander
*Few tweaks to improve battery performance
*Removed Facebook (I will add it in the UC folder if I get enough requests)
*I tried cooking EzInput 1.5 and 2.1 but I cannot get the rom to cook for some reason. I will try to look into it and see if i can find a fix.
I have attached a list of what is included with the rom and in the UC folder.
Known Bugs:
*Manila Home Tab Weather does not work. I tried the fix for CDMA device but the only thing that does is to stop Manila from being able to start up. Any suggestions are welcome. [highlight]- Resolved -[/highlight]--- First, set up the weather in M2D's weather tab, then install the attached cab, and finally Soft Reset. (thanks codf4ther)
*The dialer will randomly have a scrollbar on the side when the keypad is hidden. Nothing major, but will try to get a better dialer soon.
*Phone Codes folder is missing (forgot to cook it in). I will try to cook it in the next release.

Sweet... Thanks well be happy to test run whatever you come up with. T M Z
I'd be very appreciative if you could start cooking EzInput keyboard into your roms. This keyboard just doesn't take kindly to being added as a cab after the fact.

Having Manila would be a great addition, I always look forward to new ROMs.

Egzthunder has a pretty easy way to add Manila to the rom on first boot if you want it. Works pretty well on my Vogue, and keeps the rom clean for the purists.
Any changelogs as to what is different in these builds?

Nice, I will have to give it a try once the new ROM comes out. What is the link for the Manila add-on?

I will upload the xda-uc folder once the rom is done.
Can't wait to try out your new rom. I'm leaving for a trip tomorrow so hopefully you can get it uploaded today sometime, so I can install it. If not I'll try to be checking the site thru the week.
Look forward to it. I'd agree on the HTC EZinput keyboard and love to see the HTC Task Manager work in the quick menu. The last one had it installed but, would never appear up top?
Small update:
I have not forgotten about this. In fact, I have already cooked one for 28205 and I am testing it as we speak. Things that I found so far:
*BT icon in the top bar still does not show. It might just be a reg tweak. I will look into it.
*Cannot use Phone Codes for some reason.
*Issue with nueStorage (notification does not show)
*When touching the top bar, the information is displayed (notifications, battery, etc). However, the graphics are kinda messed up. I will try to post a screenshot later.
If I can finish it, I will post it later on.
Thanks for the update
Link on the main page isn't working?
Or is it being overloaded by too many people downloading?
---------------
Tried from another PC and got it to work... very strange!
Any screenshots available?
First post updated with all the information requested as well as screenshots...
Just downloaded & will flash later today.
Did you by chance add some better rings & alarms. The ones in your last ROM were basically all the same. Also, is the pull-down task manager (should be upper right) part of you ROM. I currently don't see it.
Weather
For the CDMA weather fix, did you remember to set the weather on the weather tab before applying the patch? Otherwise it'll stop Manila from starting.

I put some more "sounds" but I have not tested them. As far as the Task manager drop down, Manila pretty much blocks it. I do remember that there was a version that does not get covered by Manila. I will look for it and will try to cook it for the next one. Thanks for the feedback on that one (I did not notice it)

Hi, I have used this method in my app, but for use this you must change a lot of things in the provxml, for example if you have this in your provxml value="1" you must write value=\"1\" also you must remove the space from > to the next <

I hope you can understand
