Rom Cooking Related Question: Bugs and Problems

I'm facing a rather tricky problem.
Adobe Flash LE has a file called searchtext.bmp, same goes for the taskmanager that i'm using....BuildOS says there is redundant files (already exists)...what can I do to avoid this conflict?
Same thing happened to audio manager and audio booster. I first installed audio manager, then I installed audio booster. They happen to be using the same file name for some apps, and as a result, audio manager's skin was messed up because audio booster's skin file overwritten it

cook one in and use a cab for the other!

one thing you can do, is that you cook the bitmap file as a different name, say, package A has a file called myfile.bmp, and package B as well. what you need to do is cook the file in B as myfile_.bmp and an initflashfiles.txt with the entry such as:
Directory("\Program Files\ProgramB"):-File("myfile.bmp","\windows\myfile_.bmp")
that should work.
** this means that, program A and B would be in \program files\ instead of \windows\.

Allan, that will not work as I mentioned in my thread that it will overwrite the file with the same name.
@kazuni
That sounds like a plan, seperating them into different folders. I'm gonna try and see if it works

What about same DLL?
Another questions I have is about same DLL. For example, Comm manager uses a dll called phcanOverbmp.dll. I noticed that the "White battery Icon" fix also uses the same DLL, but they are of different size with Comm manager's version @ 500+kb, while the battery fix version @ at smaller size.
Which DLL should I keep?
Can I keep the one that is larger and apply the registry settings found in the battery fix?

as long as your program isnt hard coded to use \windows\phcanOverbmp.dll then you can make the OEM package for Comm Manager to reside in another folder and use its own phcnaOverbmp.dll
if not, then you will have to try and see if you do not apply the battery fix at rom cooking, then manually copy the file over into your pda after bootup, and see. that way, you are trying both original commanager and batteryfix's phcanOverbmp.dll and see if they can coexist.
remember, you cannot use file explorer to copy over a file that already existed in rom from another location. you would have to copy it as a different name, and then put it inside \windows\ and then rename the file as the original file name.
see if that helps?

actually, I don't think I even need to replace the phcanOverbmp.dll
the "fix" pretty much just sets the parameter "BatteryIconIdStart" to integer: 1001
Looking at the fix in Schap's thread, the Integer was set to 1000....does anybody know what difference does it make?

The .bmp in the taskmanager isn't needed.
The phcanoverbmp in the comm manager is a stock version. Remove it from the package if your going to install a custom one from somewhere else. The larger one probably has Schaps battery indicator.
Typically, duplicate files are caused from re-introducting a file that isn't needed - typically from to packages that were compiled and one inadvertently getting an unnecessary file.
You're on the right track with asking what the difference is, but sometimes I'll grab a cab for the package I'm trying to install and compare the files. In many cases, that's solved the mystery.
Another suggestion is if you're customizing your own kitchen, you might put everything into the OEMApps folder. Thay way you're not adding additional .dsm/.rgu files into your rom unnecessarily. Just copy the files over and paste the .rgu contents (following the guildelines for doing so) to the OEMApps folder .rgu.

Matt,
Actually most of the time I'd take the cab, decommission it, and compare it to some of the premade packages to see what the differences are, then i'd use my own discretion to recreate my own package.

You mean I could just go into the packages, take out all the content and copy them into OEMApps, along with the respective .rgu?
What happens to the initflashfiles.txt then? Do I combine all the initflashfiles into one big initflashfiles for all the apps and put it in there as well?
And the benefit of doing this is saving some spaces from the all the .dsm files?

yeah, you would also need to put in the appropriate entries for the initflashfiles.txt
one little advice, i have had a lot of problem with his is that,
option.xml is in UTF format;
initflashfiles.txt is in UTF format;
anything.rgu is in UTF format as well;
but shortcuts are all in ANSI stardard format.
have fun

lol, yeah most of them are in unicode. When I just started getting into cooking, I wasn't even sure if .dsm is suppose to be in unicode or ansi since most of the guides only say to create rgu in unicode, none said anything about whether dsm should also be in unicode or ansi. But anyway, for those who are looking for the answer, .dsm is in ansi
Problem #1
I've still got a few tiny bugs I need to fix for my rom. When I create the "accessories" and "system tools" folder with the line:
Code:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Accessories")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories"):-File("W5torage.lnk","\Windows\W5torage.lnk")
The first line should create the folder for accessories. However, the folder that it created is just the generic folder.
How can I get windows to create the accessories folder like the one in the picture below?

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
Should I be be using the code:
Code:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-[B][COLOR="Red"]PermDir[/COLOR][/B]("Accessories")
??
Same goes for the system folder.
Problem #2
Another thing I'm having problem with is getting autoconfig to run. I've created the following:
Folder name: Preconfig
With the following content:
-preautorun.exe
-preautorun.lnk
-HTC_Default.tsk
-Preconfig.txt
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
EXEC:\Windows\SetHSDPA.exe /Enable
EXEC:\Windows\cusTSK.exe \Windows\HTC_Default.tsk
LOCK:Disabled
RST: Reset
I then created a dsm file and populated it with buildDSM. I toss it into the OEM folder and ran buildOS....it didn't work Am I missing something?
BTW, kazuni & matt, thanks for helping me out, you guys have been really helpful
Edit: Problem two solution
I'm an idiot, it's missing the provxml
Question
What is the App_Service.dll for? I was examining the pandora kitchen's OEM package for Pre-settings and in both ATT preconfig were the App_Service.dll, but it wasnt there in the Orange_UK's presettings..

The only way you can make them is specifying an icon file. if you take a look and unhide the folder there, there is an icon.ico or a dll there.

Actually, I found the solution after looking at the initflashfiles.dat from another rom which has the folders and here's what I found:
Code:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Accessories")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\accessoriesico.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("System Tools")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\systemtoolsico.lnk")
That's one less problem!
New Problem
One other odd problem I'm having is with the theme. For some reasons windows wont apply the theme properly for the first time with my rom, the theme is only partially applied with some "leftovers" from the windows default theme...like some parts being blue and etc. Sometimes I need to reapply the theme several times to get it applied properly. Does anybody know what's causing the problem. I've had the same problem last time and somehow it just disappeared in one of my test roms but it is now back.

[07/28/2008]samWMEmuKitchen v0.2b - ROM Kitchen for Windows Mobile Emulator

Hi Folks,
when I ('m trying to) cook ROMs for Asus P525 its quite annoying flashing again and again on the slightest change (debugging). Especially the translating thing is veeery time consuming.
So, I created a little ROM kitchen for the Microsoft Windows Mobile Emulator. So far, its beta state and only testet with WM6.1 images. BUT, it works.

Known Bugs
Unable to install any CABs (with some SYSs it seem to work, see post #10). I'm working on that one .
How to
Place PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN as template in BaseROM
Run UnpackEmuRom.cmd
Modify SYS and OEM as you like
Run RepackEmuRom.cmd
Start Device Emulator using the created NewRom.bin by running RunEmulator.
07/28/2008
Fixed: This image-replacing works.
Fixed: CPU load is normal.
Fixed: OEM folders are replaced in OEM (not in SYS).
Added: The Device Emulator program itself (you can test your ROM using the new batch 3_RunEmulator.bat)
07/25/2008
Fixed: Cleaning cleaned to much.
Download
samWMEmuKitchen_0.2b.rar

OMGsh...If this works...

Bugfix: Cleaning cleaned too much
Ok, I applied a little bugfix on the cleanup cmd. Using this cleaned the (necessary) binaries for the rebuild, too (which means you had to restart the whole process - UnpackEmuRom.cmd ... - again).
With the bugfix (download above) only the repack files are cleaned (except the created ROM ). So you can run Repack-cmd and use the cleaning cmd several times.

Update
New update: 0.2beta.
Fixed: This image-replacing works now.
Fixed: CPU load is normal now.
Fixed: OEM folders are replaced in OEM now (not in SYS).
Added: The Device Emulator program itself (you can test your ROM using the new batch 3_RunEmulator.bat)
This whole thing seems to work now. I created a new Emu ROM doing the following:
Placed PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN as template in BaseROM
Ran UnpackEmuRom.cmd
Replaced some stuff (taken from my Asus P525 cooking)
Replaced the whole SYS folder by another one (Build 5.2.20270 AKU 1.3.1)
Added some SYS stuff (Games, Office, OneNote, RemoteDesktop, .NET 3.5)
Added some OEM stuff (new Games, Calculator from HTC, JAVA)
Ran RepackEmuRom.cmd
Started Device Emulator using the created NewRom.bin by running 3_RunEmulator.bat.
Everyone familiar with ROM cooking should have no problem reproducing this.
Have fun!

Thakyou

this ROCKS! THANKS SamuelTee!
I was able to extract and rebuild a WM6 image!
BUT...I am unable to install CABs.
every time I try I get 'Installation of CAB unsuccessful'
it'd be nice to get this to work to test custom UCs
any ideas?

You're right. I noticed that yesterday on my own cooked EmuROM and I'm currently on it. There seems to be a problem with file permissions (since you can't even create a simple file in \Temp).

HURRAY!
I was able to get CABs to install by replacing the SYS folder with the one from my personal kitchen! It's really cool, it boots exactly like my phone (requiring screen calibration and setting time zone and password etc.)
Now I have a problem with adding stuff...there just isn't any space it seems. I can't add anything that makes the combined space used by the SYS and OEM folders any bigger than the space occupied by the original SYS and OEM folders from the original ROM dump.
It'd be awesome to be able to adjust the space to match whatever romsize your device allows during cooking so that ROMs can be tested with this.
I have a Wizard which doesn't have much memory, but, still, I can't add even half the stuff to this emulator ROM than I can add to my kitchen ROM.
I wish I knew more So I could help solve this problem, but I am totally in the dark and at the mercy of your expertise, SamuelTee.

@joemanb: Can you post your SYS for download? So I can make a diff. It makes it easier pinpointing the issue. Thanks.

Your wish is my command..

Wow this is a dream for me! Simply awesome.
I will try it tomorrow and I will send you a feedback

Hi.
Where i find: PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN?
It's the first step and i cannot find this file...
Thanks.

@moshinho: See first post. Its part of the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Emulator Images package. You need this as a template for your custom ROM.

I download that file and i install it. I know that in that package there is the PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN, but i cannot understand how can make it work in the step 1.
Thanks

@moshinho
Ok, lets recap.
When you downloaded the package from post one (samwmemukitchen_0.2b.rar) and extracted it, there were 3 Folders (BaseROM, DeviceEmulator, Tools). The PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN provided with the Emulator Image Package from Microsoft should be copied in the first one: BaseROM.

Ok I've tested it today, everything works fine but there are some troubles with some package, when adding a package, like Opera then starting the emulator the screen is black and I can not do anything.

I noticed that, too. See if there's a wince.nls somewhere. That was the problem in my case: a missing wince.nls.

[Guide] Start Icons Skins QVGA-WQVGA-VGA and How-to

Hello i made this thread to post my skins for start icon, a thread already exist but it will be clearly at that, i think
This manipulation doesn't use more memory, no app required.
Here is a preview of what's looks like:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here is a preview of differents skins you can use
For QVGA WQVGA:
Install "Icone demarrer.cab" it's just 2registry key. (thank to my friend Shakass)
Then put in "/Windows"the file named "shellres.96.dll.****.mui"
**** is the localization code of your ppc's rom (040C for France and 0409 for US/UK)
The files you'll find in the folder are in 040C so change them if you're not french.
And Soft reset
This operation will replace too your wait cursor by the wait cursor vista by Marshall if you want to keep your cursor follow the How-to instructions to extract and modify your shellres.96.dll file.
If you want to put your original system just erase your shellres.96.dll.****.mui file and soft reset.
The folder QVGA-WQVGA contains all the Start icons
French Code 040C

Open the file named shellres.dll.****.mui and go the String value 321 change the name, compile script and save then sign with MSsigner and put in /Windows; Enjoy !!
Here is some shellres.dll.040C.mui modified: Démarrer, Start, HTC, SFR, Vide(empty)
Change the country code if necessary.
If you like it, you can Donate to XDA .

For VGA:
Same manipulation just the name of the file is "shellres.192.dll.****.mui"
The folder VGA contains only the "Blue windows" and "Office" Start icons for the moment if VGA's user wants some other, request it
"Points" icon added.
Apple Colors - Blue vista - Blue windows - Superstart added on post #168
Dark Glass windows on post #203

Big Thanks to
Lolento who made a "How-to" to create and change your own icon;
Marshall who give us the way and all other xda members
Here is the Start discussion thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378084
And the first How-to of Lolento on post #40.
If you like it, you can Donate to XDA .

Thanks. I will try it in a bit.

How-To
​If you want to create your own icon,
For QVGA WQVGA
Create an icon in 21x18 then save as .ico file (32bits)
Take one of the "shellres.96.dll.****.mui" file
Or if you want to keep your own Wait cursor:
Copy to your SD card then to your PC the file named "shellres.96.dll"
Open it in Reshacker and go to "Icon group/4609
Clic on Action/Replace Icon/Open new file
Insert your new icon, clic replace.
Save your modified file takes the name of the old "shellres.96.dll.****.mui" and the old takes the name of "shellres.96.dll.****.mui".
If you have used your own "shellres.96.dll" file rename it as "shellres.96.dll.****.mui"
Open Mssigner,search your shellres file, clic Start sign Process
a window appear "Process finished!" then go where is your shellres file, a text file has been create
Open it, if there is wrote "Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped,Succeeded" that prouved all is okay
After you know the suit.
For VGA
Same things just the size of the icon must be 41x36 and the name must be "shellres.192.dll.****.mui"
What is my Country Number?
Execute the Mortscript which is in the folder "ShellresNameHelper" (with Mortscript) Big Thank to mr_deimos for this script.
All the Softs are in the Tools folder
If you need some ideas here is a french site with lot of PNG image
http://www.customxp.net/PngFactory/
Write in the search bar what you want.
When you do a start icon file
Post the info (VGA QVGA; US FR)
And the PNG file or a screenshot
Enjoy!!!

Cab Version of the Certificates
Here is a Cab Version of the certificates for those who are not comfortable with Registry Editor. This worked perfect for me.
Thanks for the great skins.

works great on my tilt thanks a lot

Once I install the cab, what do I do? And how do you go about changing among the various icons? Sorry for the rookie questions.

Choose an icôn and go in the folder which has the same name, then put the shellres file you'll find in windows. If you aren't french change the "040C" by your localization code (0409 for US)

hey amigo great post ( pub AM first Post please lol)

Do I have to put the icon itself under "Windows" as well or do I leave that in the folder? And ho do you get the default flag back if you don't like a particular icon?

^No you have to add the icon with Reshacker in your shellres file found in the /Windows folder.
Thanks alot for these clear instructions. Will give it a try when I have the time.

@johanrominj: I don't understand what you say

I've tried to cook manila directly in the rom without any succes, but feel free to try it.
Just for information, all the manila components used has been grabbed from the official HTC rom for the touch2 (mega).
You can simply used the ryan kitchen linked in the second post of the thread to unpack my rom and copy all the mega package from the OEM folder.
Enjoy.

Hello
Do not understand too much your topic on the establishment of Roms !
Maybe you could explain to me in French?
Thank you

QuickCAB v2.0
Extendir Cabs (with nice GUI) is an utility to create cab files.
Basically it’s a shell around cabarc.exe. It converts rgu/reg/xml/provxml files, create _setup.xml, create all the different install paths to optimize for Extendir (optionally you can switch this off). So it’s very easy to convert your tweaks or packages to a setup cab.

SSNAP : REGiSTRY/~ SNAPSHOT 'N + 2nd SNAPSHOT and COMPARE on PPC!
The program takes a snap-shot of the state of PPC that is useful for monitoring of changes on PPC, e.g. those made during installation of programs. To compare snaps of two different PPC states it is possible to use the utility iDiffCE on your PPC (see below) or any other utilities for comparison of text files on desktop PC – e.g. ExamDiff.. or Total Commander (PC version) (TC it's; Compare files by content function).
What is saved in a snap:
- contents of the registry (keys and valuess);
- listing of the file system (folders and ffiles; for files their dates and sizes are saved, the control sum is counted up);
- state of system databases (the list, the size, number of records, date of the last update).

Download cabsdk.exe (Microsoft direct link) for documents that describe the internal structures of CabinetFiles, samples to use from C and a description of cabinet.dll.
FYI: cabsdk.exe is a compressed executable zip file. If you don't trust it; rename it back to zip and unpack as you are used to.

WinCE cab Manager not free
CEcabManager TiP; Get your desired *.cab!
1) keep PDA disconnected (no active sync session)
2) install exe as usual and, when standard installation dialog will appear, go on (later cab installation will begin when you'll connect phone to pc)
3) open (on PC) regedit.exe
4) go to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AppMgr\Apps
5) there you'll find a list of installable cabs via active sync
6) under each application, the value ListCabFiles is the name of cab file and the value InstallDir is its position of file system.
Remember to uninstall exe after you copy/move the cab file (or delete application key) otherwise installation of cab files will start on next activesync session!!
Simple, isn't it?

WinCE cab Manager is the easiest to use but is not free, you do however get a 30 day trial.
i suggest you use that first

Which manager give you the option in the cab to install the app to your sd card on your phone..??

Probably none, because name of SD-/MMC-card differs from device to device. But enduser always can set location where to install the cab via Wceload tool ("wceload.exe"). The Wceload tool runs on the target device. User typically uses this tool to install a .cab file to a location that he/she selects on the target device. Most .cab files are configured to enable the user to select the destination volume where the .cab file will be installed, either \Device or \Storage Card.
