Hi!
Is it possible to create a .cab-file which does not install anything, but only applies a number of registry changes? This way you would be able to "install" changes to the registry along with the other .cab-files running from the extended ROM after a hard-reset. How do I do that?
Any other ideas as to how to auto-apply registry changes are also very welcome Thanks..

No problem, just use WINCE Cab Manager. For learning purposes you should open some of the CAb-Files that came with the original ExtROM. Most providers split the registry settings to different files so that I reduced the size of my ExtROM by merging them (take those files, that just have 46kb, they only contain registry entries).
Open them with the above mentioned CAB Manager and look for a file named "platformxx", extract it, edit it, perform the desired changes (or mergers) and import to CAB Manager. Make sure that you remove the old "platformxx" and change the settings of the imported file so that it matches the settings of the deleted one (most times you have to make sure that the installation paths "hard coded" to the windows folder (edit the properties of the old file before and write them down).
unfortunately not all the flags for modifying the registry are supported by the wince cabloader.

wince cab spec:

this is an example minimal cab.inf file:

Provider = "testprovider1"
CESignature = "$Windows CE$"
[CEStrings]
AppName = "testappname1"

[SourceDisksNames]
1 = ,"All Files",,
[SourceDisksFiles]
"mktst.bat"= 1
[DestinationDirs]
CopyToInstallDir= 0, "%InstallDir%"
create the cab with:
Code:
Windows CE Tools\wce420\Pocket PC 2003\tools\cabwiz cab.inf /cpu arm /err caberrors.log
HTC has provided a more extensive install tool, with the CESetup.dll that is in all the cabs, this tool will import a 'platformxxx.reg' file if present in the .cab.
Hi
Thanks for the replies.
It seems like more work than I thought it would be..
In WinCE Cabmanager, there is a "Registry" fold-out in the left side menu similar to the one seen in Regedit.exe on Windows desktop or Remote registry from the Embedded C++ package. My initial plan was to import the registry into a cab-file and use this tool to change the things I want changed. This way, the cab-file would contain no files for installation, but a complete registry, modified to my needs. When running this cab-file on the WinCE device, I was expecting this registry to take the place of the old one.. Or would something else happen?
Thanks,
Joe72
I did it the easy way. I installed all my apps and stuff that I need and then made a backup of the registry, which I then flash installed into the extended ROM section of the phone.
So on a hard reset all my stuff gets installed, including of course a regedit program and hack to view extended rom. All I then do is open the regedit program and restore the registry in one go from the extended rom.
Used PHM Regedit for it.
where can i find the information that it is not visibly in the "remove programs"?
I want generate a programm that is not removable.
Thx for Your help
Snappy
What encoding should I use in platformxxx.reg to make parameters which contain non-latin characters displayed correctly? I tried Windows-1251, UTF-8, Unicode. In all cases russian text is not imported correcty. It is displayed in Western encoding.
P.S. When I use Registry branch in WinCE CAB Manager everything is ok, but if I import large enough .reg file the resulting cab becomes not working.

Was it an answer?
My CABs are installed successfully.
Aftef hard reset the following is installed from ExtROM:
1. CAB which changes default codepage to russian (419)
2. CAB which translates some items into russian
So all I see instead of russian items is abracadabra.
But if I install only the first CAB from ExtROM and the second one is installed only from soft reset everething is displayed correctly.
So how to make it without soft reset?

There IS an easy solution: Create .reg files by exporting from TRE, and u can re-apply them later by double clicking the reg file. See this post for doing it on the jasJar (will work on any XDA tho).

I do not need "clicking". The aim is to make it installing automaticly from ExtROM after hardreset.

Hi!
After a long time of trying to cook custom roms in greek language I am ready to post a small tutorial on how to translate your Rom to your Language using kitchens with a quick and dirty way .
Attention there is a better way to do so but this is what I Do to make my Greek ROMS
Step 1)
a)Download your language emulator Files from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=38c46aa8-1dd7-426f-a913-4f370a65a582&DisplayLang=en#filelist
(b) extract the files in a new folder.
Slumpolo 's suggestion:
-----
to extract files from the emulation rom follow this direction:
- Download Tadzio's imgfs excelent tools in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298327
- Unzip the tools along with the image 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.BINAnd that's all. Files are dumped in /Dump directory
-----
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(c) Rename ALL the 4xx files to 409 (e.g. 0408.mui -> 0.409.mui) Apply this to all files and folders (an eyasier way to do that is to search from windows for all *408* files and then rename them)
Slumpolo's suggestion
----
For step 1c) during the translation of italian rom for the mui files that resides in directory I edited also a file (simply with Supered) that has a line that pointed to the 0410 files (ea. italian) and changed this to 409.
----
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 2)
Find your BASE ROM.
Step 3)
Download your Kitchen. I prefered Anichillus kitchen due to the fact that supports ROM dumping in an easy way
Step 4)
Dump ROM ( If you use Anichullus Kitchen , follow the manual but Stop BEFORE using Bepe's Package TOOL !
Step 5)
Go to DUMP folder ,(eg C:\core\extract\dump) and paste ALL the language files you have renamed from step 1c . 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 wth your language files and check the directory names (eg
folder Programs in Greek have to be Προγράμματα)
Step 8)
Save Initflashes.dat in unicode and remove first two bytes with a hex editor
Step 9)
Choose your OEM packages.
For GREEK USERS : If you need a greek software keyboard like the original one I have made an OEM package that allows you to do so
Slumpolo's suggestion
------
For step 9) / 10) 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 "0410" vale. Everything without "Where 0410 is your country value.
------
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 10)
build your rom according to your kitchen manual
I hope this helps
Good luck with your tries
I have used the same method for the italian version but you must translate also some parts of .hv files and .rgu or you must pay more attention during the translation of initflashfiles.dat because not all links and directories can be translated without .hv and .rgu editing.
My suggestion? Edit only initflashfiles.dat
Some add for your excellent tutorial:
----
For step 1b) to extract files from the emulation rom follow this direction:
- Download Tadzio's imgfs excelent tools in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298327
- Unzip the tools along with the image in any folder.

(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
And that's all. Files are dumped in /Dump directory

Hi and thanks for your tutorial. I try to go a different way and want to port over a hermes mui cab to get german wm6. i have some trouble of getting it done.
- the file explorer draws no softkeybar, so it is not usable. does anyone know what files i need therefore?
- the free space when installing a cab isn't displayed correctly
what have i done?
- i took the cab from asukal and removed hermes specific things
- afterwards i copy the files from the emulator image to get newest versions of the files.
if somebody want to test it - here you go:

answer from midget about builds that can be translated:
Code:
the changes from 17740-5 are not language related so the mui's work for all of them
i tried a newer rom and also got no luck with the file explorer. does anybody know what file is responsible for translating the file explorer?
No i don't... since file explorer is the least used program i didn't really care about it ...
so sorry but i can't help in that ... why don't you leave it as it is ?
i think filesys.exe.0409.mui
I think that he has found the file. The problem is about the softkey .
Try using reshack tool (it can be found in most kitchens) and open the mui file. search for the softkey
But yet I am not sure ...
yeah thanks for the suggestions
i personally like the build in filexplorer, cause it is fast and has softkey control, it's good if you just browse and open a file.
filesys.exe.0407.mui is already inserted in windows directory, so i will test with reshack,but at the moment i am a little busy.
Doubt about Files
Hi people
About the translation... i have one question.
After doing the "IMGFSTODUMP IMGFS.BIN" command, and all files are in the Dump Directory... besides the files with 4xx names, there are also some folders with 4xx names... and inside those folders are some files also with 4xx names.
Do i have to rename the folders and the files inside those folders, or just the files... or just the folders.
And one thing more... for example the folder "bbcbres.dll.0816.mui" inside these folder, one of the files called "imageinfo.txt".. inside this txt there's something written on the first line : " Module name: bbcbres.dll.0816.mui" if i have to change the name of the file inside the folder called "bbcbres.dll.0816.mui".... do i have to change this line also inside the txt ???
Thanks
how about the hardware keyboard? because I am on a German MDA Vario, Wizard of course, since we are using QWERTZ instead of QWERTY?
Will this be fixed automatically as well?
Cheers.

You have to change all the *0816*. There is no need to change the folders al long as you rename the *.816* files that are included in those folders. There is no need to change the imageinfo since your are not going to replace the original one.
After renaming All the files (including the language files inside the folders) then you shoud copy only THESE files to your dumped ROM .

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.

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

Is anyone else having problems with MMS? Using the settings on the T-Mobile wireless configurator, I am able to send pictures to others, and they receive them ok. However, I cannot receive incoming messages. When I try Send/Receive from the MMS menu, I get "Error Synchronizing"

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

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.
I've been playing around with my new HTC S620 for the past few days. Since I ordered it from Hong Kong I didn't have Hebrew on the device. Finally, after some work I managed to make the device read and write Hebrew correctly
The attached .cab file which I made works with the WM 6.5 * 3VOLUTION SERIES * ROM. The only thing you should be aware of is that in order to write in Hebrew you have to choose "Greek" from the language menu. It's not really Greek, it'll write in Hebrew. I made the keyboard layout file like a standard PC Hebrew keyboard with one difference: the letter "ף" is on the "W" key. You can change the layout by editing eT9.Excalibur.0408.kmap.txt in the Windows directory (notice! the 0408 file, not the 0409).
Please be aware! Anything that happens to your device is at your own risk. I take no responsibility!
Setup:
1 ) Install the attached .cab file.
2) Go to the device Settings and in Regional Settings change the Locale to Hebrew.
You're all set! Enjoy!

Update:
This is an updated .CAB. Added support for the latest 3VO ROM, Version 3.
great . thx.
ive installed the cab. and now i can read heb text but at the time bar it shows the only 2 digits.
any suggestion?
thx
ok changed to 12h and works fine
thank you I've been searching for this!
Ummm, I can't find Hebrew in my regional settings & I my font's been enlarged after I've installed the cab, how do I sort this? I'm using Kavana's 6.1
so in which rom we can use it
Works with kavana's 6.1, made the font anoyyingly large & I still haven't managed to write in Hebrew
work great for read
it work for just fine for reading, but i was unable to write
what doyou mean by language menu ?
i have only english at the regional settings language menu menu...
Writing in Hebrew
Shalom y'all:
To open the keyboard language menu you have to pess Alt+Space (or FN+Space) in a writing space. There you go to Language and choose "Greek". You will be able to type in Hebrew.
As for the Kavana 6.1 ROM I don't know. I only tested this .cab on my WM 6.5 * 3VOLUTION SERIES * ROM. I edited the .cab file to work with that ROM with the way the ROM's registry is built.
As for the 24h clock not showing both numbers it's because of the font.
I have the same problem but it doesn't bother me at the moment. In order to fix it you have to play with the theme file's config file which is a .cpr type file in your windows directory. Mine is "Titanium_320x240.cpr" and there are some setting in the file for the clock that you can edit and maybe fix the problem. I will post a solution once I figure it out.
The reason the system's font looks big is because I had to change the font to Tahoma so you'll be able to read and write in Hebrew. In order to change the size of the font for the Start Menu, the pop-up Menus, the Programs window and so you have to change the following registry keys:
HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT (System Font)
HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\BarFnt (Start Menu Bar Font)
HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt (Pop-Up Menus Font)
HKLM\System\GWE\OOMFnt (Out-Of-Memory Font)
For each of these you will find the same keys. The only two you have to change in order to change the font size are "Ht" and "Wt" keys. "Ht" will change the size of the font and "Wt" will change the boldness of it.
You will notice that in most of them the "Ht" will be 4294967280. What you have to change is only the last number of the value. 0 being the largest and 9 being the smallest in the range of these two numbers. So for the smallest font size for example you change the value to 4294967289.
As for the "Wt" value you will notice most of them are "400". 400 is the standard font weight. If you change it to 700 it'll be bold. With this one you'll just have to play to find the boldness that suits you. You can change it to 400, 500, 600, 700.
If anyone wants a different Hebrew font than Tahoma for the system, let me know!
Thanks for posting feedback! If you have further questions, feel free to ask!
24h Clock Fix
I managed to fix the clock problem. You have to edit the theme's .cpr file.
Open "Titanium_320x240.cpr" (Windows folder) in Notepad. Search for Layer ID="ClockExpanded". Look down a little and look for "<!-- Time -->". in the line below it you have to find where it says FontSize=xx (mine was set to 27).
I changed it to FontSize=24. The clock shows all numbers now!
Good work !

Thanks for letting me know, I actually still don't use the phone because I just got it so I didn't get the chance to try the contact list. Seems like there isn't an option to change the typing language when searching for contacts. I will look into it and see if it's possible to do it somehow. Maybe using an alternative software that supports that feature is a possible solution.

I don't have this problem. When you press the Alt+Space (Fn+Space) to open the language menu make sure you also click the XT9 button. That turns on the auto-complete words mode. It's off in the ABC mode.

How do I uninstall this (doesnt work from settings)?
I accidentally installed this onto my HTC Ozone, and now my keyboard doesnt work when I try to text!
Great News!
I updated the .CAB file to work with the latest 3VO ROM, Version 3! (Go back to the first post to download the updated file)
Better install the .CAB after a clean install of the new 3VO ROM. Backup the pim.vol file located in the root directory before flashing the new ROM to backup your contacts and schedule.
Don't forget to change the Locale to Hebrew after install.
For those of you interested in a way to search contacts in Hebrew I use an alternative contact list software that supports language switching:
iContact Burt Edition 6.4.5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402724
works great!
I'm using it on 6.5 3d, and it works great!
I also installed 96dpi, and together the "big font problem" is solved.
Till now, they seem to work well together!
I have one question: the mac has what is called a qwerty hebrew keyboard, where the keys correspond approximately to the sound or the shape of the letter.

Is it possible to change the keyboard to this layout? What file do I need to edit? It makes entering the letters much easier, since I don't remember the layout, and my phone has no hebrew letters on it...
Thanks!
For eastern language user, such as Chinese, Japanese, Arabian, may counter difficulty in displaying correct character in X2 based rom's dialer, or rom's using X2 softwares. It always displays character with a square frame. Solutions are as followed:
1.Locate to \\Windows\Fonts, rename and delete both SoMARoman.ttf and SoMABold.ttf, then reset. If it doesn't work, proceed to the following steps.
2.For Chinese users like me to have CE-Star installed, simply import registry file in the attatchment;
3.For other user not likely to have CE-star installed, or using other language platform, just copy your own language default font file in to your device's \\windows\fonts folder (eg, font file name is sunglobe.ttf, which font's name is UniSun). Then add the following registry entries by using PHM or other registry editor, of course, to your mobile phone, not your PC. Locate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink" and add:
"SoMA Bold"="\\Windows\\sunglobe.ttf,UniSun"
"SoMA Roman"="\\Windows\\sunglobe.ttf,UniSun"
Content in bold character is based on your situation, while I am using Chinese font to link my system file. You can change the value above to your font's file name and your Font's Name.

just by installing ce-star won't solve the issue, try for yourself, maybe only occurs in jeperlea's rom.
anyway, the reason is SE x2 dialer define its own character in \windows\fonts with two font files, which in charge of displaying both in dialer itself and its contact list. so either we rev-engineering the .dll file, or we change the fontlink entries. i'm noob so i choose the easiest way
hi .... i got your fontlink file unzipped .. but I am not sure how I can use this file, and also how i can add the below to which file? Sorry that I am not familar with this and I need more guideline please.
"SoMA Bold"="\\Windows\\sunglobe.ttf,UniSun"
"SoMA Roman"="\\Windows\\sunglobe.ttf,UniSun"
