[Help] Building a rom for Korean

Hi, I was trying to make a Korean Rom for Hermes for quite some time... can you share your sorce for making one and how to? This is what I've tried till now and the qusetions I have...
The Question:
1. How do I install and change the default font of the ROM?
2. How to change the dictionary in your language, settings for your language, t9 dictionary for your language, keyboard layout?
Here is the tutorial I've found: (originaly written by a member of XDA-Developers: Tna)
Step 1
(a)Download your language emulator Files from
(b) install the downloaded file
(c)Take the emulator image that you want from the installation folder.
For example, if you have downloaded the images for Korean language look in the folder "C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\PocketPC\Deviceemulation\0412":
The image for Hermes is: PPC_KOR_GSM_VR.BIN
(d) extract the emulator files in a new folder.
to extract files from the emulation rom follow this direction:
- Download Tadzio's imgfs
- Unzip the tools along with the emulator image(PPC_KOR_GSM_VR.BIN) in any folder.
- Rename the image to A.BIN (to make the next commands easier to type).
- Open a D.O.S. command window and perform these commands:
Code:
> NBSPLIT -emu A.BIN
(it generates two files: A.BIN.EXTRA and A.BIN.PAYLOAD)
> IMGFSFROMNB A.BIN.PAYLOAD IMGFS.BIN
(it generates the file IMGFS.BIN)
> IMGFSTODUMP IMGFS.BIN
(Now the extracted files are dumped in /Dump directory)
(e) Rename ALL the 4xx files to 412 (e.g. 0412.mui -> 0.409.mui) Apply this to all files and folders (an eyasier way to do that is to search from windows for all *412* files and then rename them)
Step 2
Find your BASE ROM. (e.g. Hermes Black Rom)
Step 3
Download your Kitchen. (e.g. Anichullus Core Professional Kitchen)
Step 4
Dump the BASE ROM (If you use Anichullus Kitchen , follow the manual but Stop BEFORE using Bepe's Package TOOL)
Step 5
Go to DUMP folder (e.g. C:\core\extract\dump) and paste ALL the language files you have
renamed from step 1e. ATTENTION you have to copy and paste ALL files from your
language folder AFTER you have renamed them to 409 . REPLACE duplicate files
Step 6
Continue with kitchen steps . For instance if you were to use Bepe's Package TOOL , go on and build the packages.
Step 7
Edit Initflashes.dat file . Information on how to do that are in every cooking tutorial. In
Intflashes.dat file you will have to translate all the links and directories according to your
language files. CAUTION if you make mistakes in translation your WM6 will be crappy and
programs may not start
->In order to make a good translation check your original rom, or try the WM6 emulator with your language files and check the directory names.
Step 8
Save Initflashes.dat in unicode and remove first two bytes with a hex editor
Step 9
Choose your OEM packages.
about keyboard, you must add with a oem package also:
- dictionary in your language
- settings for your language
- t9 dictionary for your language
- for keyboard layout make this registry mod:
Code:
Registry Editor:
HKCU >> ControlPanel >> Keybd
Create a string "Locale" with "0412" vale. Everything without "Where 0412 is your country value.
Step 10
build your rom according to your kitchen manual

Hi, I have the same dubiousness, where I find the keyboard packages? I'm looking for Keyb Portuguese Brazil(Dictionary, settings, etc)... If anybody know please help me.Thank's.

hi~ nice to meet u. rom cooking is hard to me so i just wondered how to add t9 korean language pack to my english rom. I use my htc t3050 with win mobile 6.5 english rom.
so there are no korean font and no korean locale. how can i do?
I also have blackjack1 and m480(mirage) but that rom is korean rom. if u can help me, please let me know how to find t9 korean language pack and how to install to my english rom. thanks a lot for your text and hope to answer about my text.
if u dont mind, you can answer with korean, that is better for me.. kk

try to find a korean rom with T9 dictionary in your native lang... then dump it using wichever kitchen in the Chef central subforum... dump the rom get the t9 files and replace the ones in the rom of your phone

Cab Extractor/Rename

Hi there,
I need an application to automatic extract and rename files from a cab installer. files inside cabs have short names and there's a xml file with real name/description for each other file in the cab. I'd like to extract all files and rename them according with xml ... is there an app that do this?
Thank You
Excuse for my english, hope clear enough!
Bye

try with WinCE CABs Analyzer, it can extract files and (if there is a valid XML) registry keys

works great!
Ty Mate.

Cooking Own Rom (Manila Editing+OEM Packages)

hello,
i am new and am trying to cook my first rom so here are my questions!i basically want to edit nataly 1.1.1 rom although the rar file with the kitchen had also some ptoblems for me too as i read in the thread.
when i add files to the oem folder for packages to be cooked,will they be installed into program memory?is there a way to be installed in internal storage?
also, i want to change my manila language.nataly has english and i extracted the contents of a greek rom which i want.this rom has more manila files than the nataly one.if i copy all the greek manila files into the appropriate windows folder overwriting nataly's original ones and then cooking it,will it work with greek manila as the default?
Also,i cannot seem to make buildos work.it does not show me the packages to select or unselect them.could it be perhaps because some files are missing from the nataly rom?i used the kitchen version rar that thw author gave.
thanks in advance

[APP] Michy's Installer - complete wceload repleacement!

- Michy's Installer -
​Have you ever got an "Installation Unsuccesfull" message? Or a "Uninstall failed" message? Or worst thing an "Missing privileges" while installing a cab?
Now this messages are gone. With my installer, which is a complete Wceload and uninstaller replacement, any installation will complete without any problem
Main features:
Full repleacement for winceload
Select if you want or not to run setup dlls
Avoid failing for missing privileges
Get the space that an'installed app consumes after installing too
Search within your device the cabs you have and select what you want to install
Analyze FB_Install folders
Batch cabs installation
Installation processes can be aborted any time
If you are overwriting exes, they will be automatically terminated before installing
Advanced cab analyzer (view files contained, shortcut, regs, extract them......etc)
- MichyPrima_UC - ​
This system will let you to install:
.reg
.cab
.rgu
.xml
.provxml
.exe
Putting them in your SD/Microdrive/Diamond internal storage in the folder FB_Install. And them will be installed at first boot.
Information about files you can install:
- Files .cab -​
For a base installation of cabs you can put them in the folder FB_Install. Setup DLL will not be executed to avoid setup freezes. Anyway, there are ways to customize how your cab will be installed:
Installation to SD
Installation to MD
Activating Setup DLL
Possibility to use wceload to install (not advised)
For using them:
If your cab is mycab.cab and you want to install it to sd, simply create a file called mycab.tosd. if you want to install to MD, the name will be mycab.tomd, if you want to enable setup dll, the name will be mycab.enabledll. If you want to install using wceload... use .old extension.
- Files .reg, .rgu, .provxml e .xml -​Simply put them to FB_Install directory
- Files EXE - ​For a simple execution put them in FB_Install folder. If you need command line arguments, simply put them in a file called as your exe, but with .arguments extension.
- All files - ​All files can be skipped using .skip extension. eg if your file is mycab.cab , create a file with mycab.skip and it will not considered
- Other special functions: -​
File/folder structure restore
Creating the structure on SD it will be reversed into storage. We have more than only one folder where we can put our files (in FB_Install):
CopyInWindowsFolder (\windows)
CopyInProgramsFolder (\windows\start menu\programs)
CopyInProgramFilesFolder (\program files)
CopyInFavoritesFolder (\windows\favorites)
CopyInFontsFolder (\windows\fonts)
CopyInStartupFolder (\windows\startup)
CopyInRootFolder (\)
So, for copy/overwrite files in windows folder, only thing you need is to create a folder in FB_Install with name CopyInWindowsFolder. This is a recursive copy, so all subfolders will be copied.
Shortcut restoring
You can specificate the shortcut to create in shortcuts.txt file and put it in FB_Install folder. Each line will be a shortcut to create. The first part of the line contains where the shortcut will be, 2nd where the shortcut will point. The two parts are separated by ":".
We have ids there to:
%SD% (\storage card)
%PROGRAMS_STARTMENU% (\windows\start menu\programs)
%PROGRAM_FILES% (\program files)
%STARTUP% (\windows\startup)
%MYDOCUMENTS% (\my documents)
Example line:
%PROGRAMS_STARTMENU%\Test.lnk:%SD%\myprogram.exe
This line will create a "Test.lnk" in programs which points to \storage card\myprogram.exe.
Possibility to avoid final reset (not advised)
Just create a file with name NoResetAtEnd without extension in FB_Install folder.
Possibility to temporarily skip customization
Just create a file with name SkipCustomization without extension in FB_Install folder.
Do you want to process config lines to runcc?
Create a file with name AddToConfig.txt and there put your config lines.
Possibility to delete files or folder
Create a file with name Delete.txt. Each line is something to delete. You can use IDs as shortcuts

All I have to say is

Sounds very useful for those of us that change roms often.
Good work.
PS
My personal holy grail would be an APP that records changes as apps are installed to a point where I am happy then be able to gather all of the changes and build an install routine! Am I dreaming?

Wow sounds awesome and a gui, can't wait & thankyou

SIMPLY AMAZING!!!! cant wait...this should save me tons of time, and unlike other appz this seems easy 2 use and great!!!....thanks for ALL the hard work! ..waiting patiently

- in preview you can choose to extract manila file or PNG image.
- bug fixes, cosmetic changes... new bugs ...
- you probably realized that I publish versions I got at the moment - raw, not too much tested, relative big changes from day to day, version is detected by the pub date... so expect new staf soon...
- !!! IMPORTANT !!! Please download cfc.exe and put it at c:\windows\ "c:\windows\cfc.exe" !!! Download last version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2798441&postcount=1 !!!
(without cfc.exe app won't be able to decode mailla images)
2009-09-22
**IF YOU HEVE BEEN HERE PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST SINCE IT IS ALL UPDATED!!!
- "Cab Album" support:
A Cab Album is collected information about many Cab files in one place.
Application will here "create" a new Cab Album by scaning folder. (It is possible to include subfolders in search path.)
Since creating a "Cab album" could be time consuming (depends on how many files it has to scan),
collected information - an "Album" can be saved (in xml structured file).
So next time, you can just use the same information by "loading" a saved album from disk (without scaning again).
Creating album is the process that will
a) detact all *.cab files in scaning folder (and subfolders)
b) for each found cab, program will try to locate "_setup.xml" within .cab file and extract information about real / target file names and paths
c) all information will be collected to memory
After that you will be able to
a) browse an album by cab files (from the tree)
b) browse an album by target file names (also from the tree where these files are grouped an counted)
c) search / filter the album by target file names
Also you can
a) click on "save" icon to save the album.
b) double click on cab file (lef side - tree) to open separate window tith that cab info
c) double click on file on the right side to extract it on disk
2009-09-21
- new version suports drag & drop files (from windows explorer)
- small cosmetic changes
2009-09-19
- first published version
***CHANGE LOG END
DID you ever try to find some fine resource (manila file, bmp for phone skin ... or whatever), which you know you have seen somewhere. And you are sure you got it somewhere on your hard or stick or ....
DID you ever wanted to create a new skin based on a few existing skins in some cab files.
DID you ever ask yourself - what will that XY.cab install on my device? Will it remove parst of my customization that I don't want to be changed?
In case you didn't this app is probably NOT for you.
But if you DID then you probably know that
a) most cab extractors will NOT extract files with the correct filenames on your hard disk.
Instead of some "5acc5861_manila" that will be installed on your device, what you get on your pc is some file named "0CABA635.001".
The real target file name "5acc5861_manila" is actually set in _setup,xml which is part of cab file for mobile device.
b) it is hard to find all "5acc5861_manila" resources on your hard disk without decompression of all cab files, and fixing a problem described before - see a
What do you think about a new point of view - an "Album" view.
Album view will help you to "scan" your hard disk folders, searching for cab files, extacting information from them (without extracting cab files on disk), and collecting all important information in one Album list.
That's not all.
Since "scanning" or building an album could be time consuming, you can "save" the album (xml file structure) so next time you just open existing album and you got all information very quick.
You can search albums - for example "Assets*.bmp" will find all files located in album containing dialer skins.
With another few clicks you can extract found files on disk and use you favourite tools to view or edit them.
Prease note tha this application is extended version of
"[APP][v2009-09-17] Cab utility - RENAME cab content/files to normal target names" located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561533
Requirements: .NET framework 3.5 on your PC
BTW: If someone know some good .NET library for converting / previewing or updating _manila files please do let me know.
Also if someone would like to use some of functionality of this app in other projects ... I will be glad if I can help providing details about my libraries.
I hope you'll like it...

Weeeeeeeeeeell

Awesome thank you!

UPDATE
Missing drag & drop support was anoying, so I add it to v2009-09-21.
You can find / download new version in fist post

Yes in some systems you can get this error. On my laptop I have no problems but on my home PC I had exat the same error.
What I did to solve this problem is to replace version of CabLib, and also I put 2 dlls in the same folder where is application.
You can find CabLibFix in additional attachment in first post. Just put those files in the same directory (replace existing CabLib + additional 2 new files).
Please do let me know if that helps

Could not load file or assembly 'Cablib
Please note that v2009-09-22 should fix problems with error "Could not load file or assembly 'Cablib.." on some systems.
"FIx files" are included in that version, so I removed "fix..." archive.
However if you still have problems please do let me know,
thanks

v2009-09-22
v2009-09-22 works like a charm.
Thank you again

v2009-09-23 now has image / text preview + info about manila type of file (xml, SQLite, Lua_Script, Mode_9 ...)
Also you preview manila IMAGE files (decoded using cfc.exe to png)
The only inconvinience is that I manage to hardcode path to cfc.exe ( "c:\windows\cfc.exe").
Sory!

Error on win64 with an 'any CPU' build
Hi
We are using your CabLib.dll v2009-09-23 to load cab files inside our c# application. It works really well, except for one case.
When we build the application for target 'any cpu' and then install on a windows xp64 machine, we get an error message:
System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'CabLib, Version=10.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5c838b77b53f84a0' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
File name: 'CabLib, Version=10.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5c838b77b53f84a0'
Everything works fine when we change the target to 'x86', but that then causes problems with our test suite. The 'Any CPU' build only fails in x64 machines.
I was wondering how you build your DLL and if you have any ideas to help us fix this problem.
Here's my config:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Version 9.0.30729.1 SP
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 3.5 SP1
The build and test is on an xp64 SP2 machine.
-- update --
I've also found that aiCabExplorer.exe has the same problem on my win64 machine. I see you are including the 32 bit C run time DLL's which you provide in the release - that appears to be the problem, as the OS is trying to dynamically link against the 64 bit version of MSCOREE.DLL, KERNEL32.DLL, OLE32.DLL and OLEAUT32.DLL and doesn't like mixing them up.
So the solution, I think, is for you to build without explicit dependencies on the 32 bit libraries. Is there any chance of getting a version like that?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi,
I use this app all the time.
Super duper.
Thank you very much.

Seems great Gonna try it
