Easy FontLink .cab for Japanese - XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps

Couldn't find anything simple so I just made this very quickly: it copies the 2 Meiryo fonts to your \Windows\Fonts directory and sets the appropriate HKLM entries.
Made it for myself to display Japanese properly in PIE... No functionality guaranteed
If it helps anyone else, great!
(P.S. My X1 runs 6.5 with the 2009/7/3 EnergyROM)
(P.P.S. Sorry I didn't compress it but that seems to work better for me from a mobile)

Help request - setting registry (owner info etc) from a cab

Hiya, I've been playing about with the extended rom and have the system in great shape, apart from some registry settings, such as the owner info and device name. It would be kinda handy to have these setup automatically but I am totally unable to do it... I'm presuming it's because there is something else that has to be done other than simply set the keys.
I'm using PHM reg ed to export keys as well as simply creating them manually and am using WinCE Cab Manager to make the cabs. I'm on the original O2 Exec rom (well, most of it )
When I run the cab (automatically from a hard reset or manually), I can see the values in the registry but they never appear on the today screen. I've tried a variety of power cycling, soft resetting etc but the today screen is never updated - it always says "Tap here to set owner info". If I do that, the registry keys are cleared out...
If anyone can shed some light on this I'd be grateful - for a small problem it's taking up a lot of time! :?
Cheers!
I've not gone down the .CAB route, but just import these and other settings from a .reg file and have never had this problem.
When I have to install from scratch, the first install is Resco's Explorer (which contains a Registry Editor), then execute the .reg file.
Almost sounds as if the registry changes are not being saved. Is it only these particular settings or are other changes not registered?
Well, I have created loads of CAB files in WinCE CAB Manager to set up my phone, tomtom, etc.
I Used the same method as you. The only difference being that I reset (automatically) after I install them. Could this be it?
Ahh, which WinCE CAB Manager version you running? You need the new beta 1.2 version to be able to create WM5 compatible CAB Files. Can this have something to do with it?

Probably the cause. I know I've read and experienced that I must allow the device to flush after changes before I reset it. I usually turn it off, then wait a minute or two before I soft-reset.

As yet I'm not using CABs/Cab-Manager. Couldn't find one when I looked - except at ridiculous money, which I wasn't prepared to waste - so I'm just using the .reg-files manually
Guys, many thanks for the replies!
I'm using my 15 free goes (and hibernating ) on version 1.1 of WCM at the mo, it's too expensive to buy as I would only use it for this as far as I can see - I'll head off and look for the beta next.
I have tried power cycling, pausing while off and resetting as well as soft-resetting from software, but not doing it automatically 'cos I don't know how!
@moghisi101: Out of curiousity, how are you automatically performing a soft-reset and thanks for the heads-up about beta 1.2!
I have written an Autorun.exe file, much like the one in the extended rom. It does not however read a config.txt file. It runs the CAB files (with my apps and settings in) and then resets.
I don't remember where I put the code, so I can't compile one for you. It only needs a slight change from the Autorun sample Microsoft Supply.
At the moment I can set up pretty much everything on the phone. Button Lock, GPRS Settings (including GPRS Auto Attach, etc), Owner Info, Default Volume, Today Screen Plugins (order and enabled/disabled), Date/Time, Screen Config, Infrared off by default.....the list goes on. When I Hard Reboot, It skips the welcome screen (all the time settings etc) and I've got it to ask me which Operator Settings to Install (eg Vodafone, o2, Orange, Tmobile Splash Screens and GPRS connections).
It's much better than the default Qtek, i-mate, and (definately) o2 ROMs...
Just a thought!
Are you annotating your .reg files with semi-colon at the start of a line?
With the PC, I've always annotated my .reg import-files, so that I could remember why I'd done something later on, but found that *no* lines after those annotation would be imported on the Exec (Universal). Don't know if this is specifically a WM5 issue or not. If you put the annotations at the end of the .reg file, all the preceeding key/value content lines *are* imported.
@astage: Interesting about the annotations, that must have caused some pain before you figured it out! I don't have annotations in my reg files as I'm not really using reg files I'm building keys in WinCE Cab Manager by both importing reg exports and typing them in manually.
Unfortunately, the beta version is only available to registered users, so I'll have to abandon that one for now.
@moghisi101: It sounds like you're sorted! That's basically what I had in mind myself, except that I was thinking smaller
Thanks for the thought about compiling an exe, I was thinking I may have to ask a mate to make something like that so if you do find the code and feel like posting one, I'm sure the community would thank you!
I've been looking for something that would just install cabs etc then reboot but not found one yet on the web... I'm a UI designer and so am wary about going down the visual studio path for fear I may start to favour all-grey interfaces :twisted: .
Which autorun sample are you referring to though? I guess I may have to get my hands dirty after all!
No, I don't annotate them, so I haven't come accross this. But, if you save some Keys using a Reg Editor and then use Import in WinCE Cab Manager...ahhh, I think i may know the problem!
1. Don't put Comments in Reg Files
2. Don't use import in WinCE CAB Manager! If the reg key has data above a certain length it will split it to next line using a ";", but WinCE Cab Manager assumes this is the end of the data. So, your Owner Info could be being entered in incorrectly as a result. You have to copy-paste the reg key into a new dword, etc into WinCE Cab Manager. i.e. DONT IMPORT
I hope that vaguely made sense
Yup! Clear as a bell, thanks! I'll try that in a mo, just rebooting. Import is *sooo* tempting though, so simple... Curse my weakness for the easy path!
Hi. Here is Microsoft's Autorun Code (I have that)
You have to make slight changes to allow for reboot at end. It's fully annotated if you dont understand what it means. BTW, you dont need Visual Studio. Infact it's probably the worst root. Use Microsoft's eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 to compile this for Windows CE, Mobile 2003SE, (or Mobile 5?). It's Microsoft but it's FREE!?
Sweet! Two terms you don't hear very often in the same context are Microsoft and free! Nice one, thanks! I'm downloading Microsoft's eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 as I type.
You actually solved the problem already though, in a way, pointing out that WCM truncates "strings". I opened an exported key in Textpad and tidied it up (removing the end of line "\" and the "\n\t") then saved it and imported the file into WinCE Cab Manager, made my cab, installed it and soft rebooted from SPB PocketPlus without going back to the Today screen. It worked!
I'm a big fan of Textpad and will use that to make a macro to tidy up exported reg keys so I can import them easily (another triumph for the easy path!).
You, Sir, are a DUDE!
Edit: 16.4 kbps from MS... :roll: For anyone else who decides to go down this path, the killer bit is to make sure your key values don't get truncated! Open the .reg in a text editor and make sure any really long values, like binaries, are all on one nice long line! It doesn't seem to make any difference if you soft-reset from an app or use the stylus btw.
Shame the baby kept us up all last night! I've *got* to get some sleep or I'll end up doing god knows what to my device by accident!
Thanks for the help moghisi101!
Hehe, Gee Thanks. And btw, Textpad r0x!
If you want to do that autorun thing.....familiarize yourself with the whole 2577 method (search it and you'll understand). If you don't want crappy o2 Customisations, etc on your device then you are better off just editing the extended rom, edit the config.txt, add your configuration CABs, and then every time you hard reset all your customisations will appear! NO programming involved. If you then add "welcome.not" file to SD Card, the Welcome screen at hard reset wont appear (if you code this in your autorun file it will work on ALL devices, not just a few including HTC). BUT only do this if your CAB files contain stylus screen settings, and time settings. However, as this is not viable in all situations the 2577 method can be much better. Especially when selling a piece of software, etc (automatic installation and configuration), as I do.
I might email you, later on, a video of what happens when I hard reset my device to give you an idea of what you can do (at the least) and hopefully you can go on to improve on that.
Thought I will give you a kick start. Here are some Regedits I could make for you. Took me a short while, but there are loads more for inbuilt apps (e.g Messagig, etc) but I coudn't remember where the reg values where.
Please note, I couldn't find any of the WM5 ones...completely forgotten them. But these should give you and idea as to where they are. Also, look here in the Wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Hacks_WM5
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Hacks
Some of the ones I have given are from here, but many more I found myself
Hope it helps you (become a millionaire - don't forget me )
You can see the solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=34525
Thanks to Bayondthetech for the CAB file.
Hehe. I feel like a n00b now (which I am really). I hadn't seen that. But I think mine does a couple of extra things that he didn't post....?
Bye
Wow! Holy Cr*p! Thanks for all those reg files! :bows:
I'd looked at BTT's post before and was hoping to use his cabs as a guide. Unfortunately, they aren't currently available (from what I've read, he generated so much traffic with his downloads that his host yanked his connection and he's in the process of moving sites).
Thanks to moghisi101 and a few other posters on this forum, I don't need them any more!
@moghisi101: I had already edited my extendedRom's config file to load and run cabs I store on the SD card (to keep the extRom below 10mb) and realised last night that that already does the auto reset for me, so life gets another bit easier These reg files rock though! Shame you're not running tomom5 yourself, I'll have to sort those out myself!
The next thing to try is to export the BT settings for my paired devices - I'm hoping it will be possible to restore those automatically too.
Attached is the TextPad macro (although it is too simple to call it that really!) that I'm using to tidy up the reg keys for import into WinCE Cab Manager, hope it helps someone!
Post that video!
Hey
Actually, I have TomTom 5....up until 5.10 I edited TomTom's Cab itself but I just haven't had a chance with 5.21 (need to use CabWiz now, not WinCE Cab Manager - no full WM5 support lol).
The TomTom 3 Today settings is same for TomTom 5 if you want to change order/hide/unhide. Most of the other settings are in a .cfg file on SD card for Home Address, etc. Only a couple other settings use Registry...
Anyway....glad to be of some service

Had a brief conversation this afternoon with a friend who uses Microsoft's CabWiz to produce .cab files for bespoke software.
He mentioned that (with CabWiz) if you use the .cab to apply registry entries, then the .cab must also install something, a text file or similar. I can't recall if he said it would otherwise not create the .cab correctly, or that the reg entries may not be applied correctly.
Not yet tried it myself - will have to wait until after the bloody Tax Return is finished!
Strange, It works fine for me? Was his the newer CabWiz that you can use with WM5, like mine?

How do I turn a .reg file into a .cab?

Hi everyone,
I have an XDA Exec and my current project is to customise my extended rom to install resco, magic button, some ringtones into the windows folder, batti and not have O2 Active (just dingo's connections cab). I have sorted the above, but now I would like to export my whole registry with just these applications installed, along with all my settings 9owner information, MSN, camera settings etc...) If I export the whole registry through Resco, can I then convert that into a CAB using WinCE CAB Manager or soething similar? Is it a good idea? How do I imprt a registry file successfully into WinCE, as I have tried it in the past with previous devices and never got anywhere. I would be extremely grateful for any help, even if its just someone telling me not to bother wasting my time if it won't work!
Cheers,
Fin
WinCE CAB Manager will allow you to make a cab from a reg. However, there are limitations I think, and whether it's wise to do the whole reg is another question. Some of it is volatile. If you pick and choose relevant user settings, you should be safe.

D'oh! I just found out the hard way that importing your whole registry doesn't work for quite a few reasons! Thanks for your reply, I still can't work out CAB manager though. Is there anything particular you have to remember when importing a REG file into a CAB?
There's some issue I read somewhere that it breaks some lines or something in the imported reg. Not sure how or why...
I'd suggest just get the relevant sections, control panel, software, gwes etc... you'll have to glance through your whole reg, try it in individual sections, then compile the lot into one functional bunch.
V
i have been using WinCE cab manager a lot and i have found that importing small sections of 'code' is more reliable than huge chunks, and i have used this methood succesfully to create customised cab file settings (see my theme+ringtone+dialler post) where i extracted parts of the registry and posted into WinCE cab.
thanks

Dopod 900 Extended ROM Guide (help would be appreciated!!!)

Alright,
I'm gonna start a guide for Dopod 900 Extended ROM files. I am using a Dopod 900 bought in Singapore. Information has been gathered from various sources.
EXTENDED ROM CAB FILES IN DOPOD 900
CABs that I installed
CAB-Customization-DopodAsiaWWE-<Insert Telco Name>-Universal-01-02-28Sep05.CAB
From the name, and cross-referencing with the O2 Exec ROM, I think this installs the MMS settings for your phone.
Signed_UNI_DopodTW_UAProf.sa.CAB
I think this also configures some MMS setttings/profiles. Can anyone advice me on which CAB files are really needed for MMS?
Signed_DopodAsia_113150_Conn_<Insert Telco Name>.sa.CAB
Signed_Conn_<Insert Telco Name>_113144.sa.CAB
Both are files actually serve the same feature, just that they have different file names. Installs some kind of telco settings. Can someone help with this?
Signed_AudioDriver_Patch.sa.CAB
From the name, I think it's some kind of audio driver patch.
Signed_Disable_ErrorReport.sa.CAB
Installs the feature (under settings) to disable error reporting. Useful.
Signed_SSD_Shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB
Installs SIM Manager and Enroller. Not necessary if you don't use these programs (but I think most people do).
Signed_STK_Service_318.sa.CAB
No idea what this does. Help would be appreciated!
Signed_Version.sa.CAB
Allows one to view the Extended ROM version. Not necessary if you don't want this feature (but I think most people do).
UPdate4.CAB
Absolutely no idea what it does. Help would be appreciated!
CABs that I did NOT install
Signed_UNI_AutoConfig_21100.sa.CAB
Installs the AutoConfig feature (under settings). Not necessary if you only use one telco (which applies to most people).
Signed_DopodAsia_113183_RemoveConn.sa.CAB
Removes the telco settings applied by the Autoconfig program I mentioned above.
Signed_DopodAsia_113173_Cuss_v32_non_CHAP.sa.CAB
Signed_DopodAsia_113173_Cuss_v110_tr_PAP.sa.CAB
No idea!!! Can anyone please help in identifying this? I think they're related to the telco settings...
CAB-Shortcut-Dopod-Asia-31Aug05.CAB
Installs MIDlet Manager and Clearvue PDF reader. Not necessary if you don't use those programs.
Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB
Installs Video Call function and Phone Skin Plug-in. Not necessary unless you have 3G and make video calls. Read that it takes up quite a lot of system resources too.
Signed_cvc-ppc-dpd-900-usa.CAB
Installs the Cyberon Voice Commander programme. Not necessary unless you use voice recognition/commands.
Signed_pIE_Favorite113144.sa.CAB
From the name, I think it installs some Pocket IE favourites. Not necessary.
Signed_Portal_113144.sa.CAB
From the name, I think it configures the Pocket IE default homepage. Not necessary.
Signed_UNI_pIE_View(Default).sa.CAB
Modifies some Pocket IE settings. What exactly... I have no idea. I used a custom CAB file instead - see below sections.
universal_stream_singtel_eng_signed.CAB
Installs a media streaming program/function from Singtel (a Singapore telco). Not necessary if you don't use it.
USEFUL EXTENDED ROM FILES FROM OTHER HTC UNIVERSAL DEVICES
Signed_UNI_Remove_BatteryIcon.sa.CAB
Removes the battery icon from the home screen. We all have better battery monitoring programs around.
Signed_SSD_BTUR_Patch_For_BT_Cannot_Initial.sa.CAB
Fixes some BT Headset bug.
Default_Signed_UNI_PictureEnhancement_reg.sa.CAB
Enables tap-hold "Save As..." in Pocket IE. Useful.
USEFUL UNSIGNED CAB FILES
Default_Signed_DisableSecurity.CAB
Allows unsigned CABs to be installed.
Default_Unsigned_Customized_pIE_View.sa.CAB
Credit goes to BeyondTech for this. It "change search engine to Google, smallest text setting, default layout, makefit". Useful.
Default_Unsigned_Cache_Tweaks.sa.cab
Credit goes to BeyondTech for this. Further modified it to tweak Glyph Cache = 16MB, Font Cache = 4MB, File Cache = 4MB and disable Start Menu animation.
Default_Unsigned_Customized_OwnerInformation.cab
Credit goes to BeyondTech for this. It customes owner information, device name and descripion, bluetooth name, etc.

Credit goes to BeyondTech for this. Add blank page for Pocket IE key (just loads IE not attempt to open a particular page with it)
Default_Unsigned_Enable_ClearType.sa.cab
Credit goes to BeyondTech for this. Enable ClearType and Landscape ClearType.

Hi Rommie2k6,
Not sure about other cab files but one thing is certain. If you can configure the settings of MMS/GPRS manually then you can remove auto config and SingTel-related cab files. I configure my QTEK 9000 for SingTel manually, hence, there's no need of any SingTel-related cab files.
Similarly for some of the registry tweaks. You can edit the registry manually and so no need of cab files.
I don't understand why you want to do away with video call. In the first place if you do not want video call then you should not have selected this Dopod 900. One of the reasons people remove video call feature is because their country or the area they're living in do not have 3G. If you're a SingTel subscriber the video call and voice call rates are the same for the moment. :roll:

Don't suppose you can enlighten me on how to configure my own MMS settings? I'm using Starhub btw...
As for video calls, I never liked the idea nor have the need for it. I bought the Dopod 900 for other reasons. 3G functionality is just extra.
RE
Bro,
I'm a Singtel user. Configuration like servers, ports and addresses etc will be different, however, the principles apply. If you can configure manually then you can remove StarHub-related cab files
StarHub & 3G... hmmmmm......not sure of its pricings
Why don't you do one thing? Can you call StarHub tech support to ask them to go through with you step-by-step for manual settings? Record the steps especially servers, ports and addresses. Re-post here if you've further problem

Live Messenger for Samsung Epix i907

I use unlocked version of epix i907 on tmobile.
The live messenger client on i907 won't work, and it seems that the messenger program is tied to at&t text messaging, so it won't work with wifi connection or data plan.
It would be great if somebody would help me with a working live messenger for epix i907.
I tried both 10.6.0034.2500 and 10.6.0034.0800 files from this forum, both doesn't start at all, with me installing it after hard reset.
Same thing here. Has anybody had any luck?
After playing around with this for a while it looks like "Windows Live 10.6.0034.0800 (Fixed).zip" CAB from the Windows Live Messenger thread does not include the 128 DPI resource DLLs needed for the 320x320 Epix.
Fortunately, the Treo Pro has the same 320x320 dimensions and the ROM image ships with WLM version 10.6.0034.0800 so the 128 DPI files were there.
To get this working I installed the CAB from "Windows Live 10.6.0034.0800 (Fixed).zip" and then manually copied the Treo Pro 128 DPI files to the Windows directory.
I did get a series of security messages for each DLL asking me if I trusted the DLLs.
Now I'm new to all this jigger-pokery (this is my first post) so there was probably something I could have done to build the DLLs into a new CAB, but once I accepted the dialogs for each file, things seemed to work fine.
Here are the 128 DPI resource DLLs:

can you guys help me to get to the windows directory epix
your going to have to unhide the protected operating system files on the host computer to get to it, or use something such as total commander.

WP7 Unicode

Hi, WP7 support UNICODE?
I see some post where its said that WP7 supports Unicode,
But on my HD7 I cant see Georgian Text (UNICODE)
what part of the phone are you looking at? i know the browser does support it, but i'm not sure about the rest of the phone.
browser (IE),
I just navigate to http://google.GE
and get squares not Georgian text (Unicode)
the net seems to be stuffed on my phone at the moment... thanks vodafail.
i will try and test it when i can and get back to you on what it looks like on my phone. but i always through ie supported it, but if you're saying it's blocks, then i guess not.
if you want to know when it will be, twtter/facebook/social.microsoft.com would be the best ways to get in contact with them and find out.
Hm..., WP7 supports UNICODE!, because when i navigate to http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=yi its Yiddish google page its shows text correct!
Yiddish is UTF-8 and Georgian is also UTF-8
So perhaps its missing Georgian font
but how can I add Georgian font to WP7, and what fonts are supported...
Would be nice, if Microsoft would allow just copying sylfaen.ttf to windows\fonts directory, just like good old wm6.5
Pretty certain WP7 supports unicode since it's based on Silverlight which does so.
Yes it does support unicode. But for some reason it is missing fonts for some languages, like Georgian, etc.
use chevron ringtone installer for add fonts to wp7.
first step u need to change *.ttf to *.wma (chevron will build as ringtone)
after that deploy to ur phone.
open touch explorer and change file name to *.ttf
copy to /windows/fonts
don't know working or not
sorry for my poor english
I think the whole system is unicode.
WP7 has unicode. Cyrillic alphabet is working fine in browser, mail client, Office etc. The problem here is with the fonts.
I do not think it works. WP has some kind of restriction on ttf extensions.
1. You can not copy ttf's through mail attachements,
2. touchexplorer freezes when changing file extension to ttf.
Even worth. I coocked my own rom with Sylfaen.ttf in init and tweaked the registry as well. All I get is blank screen when viewing Georgian pages. Anyone has suggestions?
how to install unicode to HD7
Here is same problem too. I can't install my native font to HD7.
Could somebody help?
Thank in adv!
No Help Yet
I have truyed all kind of diffrent things to make georgian letters appear, but no hope. The furthest I could get is view georgian in MS Word, that's it... On the internet I found out that the unicode support in WP7 is half way through. It has problems displaying some charecter sets. So, I gues will have to wait for M$ to work this problem out.
