the file is called "Realone Player 11.exe" it has a size of 150,078bytes and the person who made it has no balls.
this is the message it displays
Hello! upon reading this message your computer is starting to shutdown
Your Data Link Library is going to destroy, all your files say goddbye...
Did you know that some programs are cute and stealth like this, amazing isn't it...
ARE YOU READY TO THIS DISASTER!!!
Very Important Reason Unless Shutdown
luck that i ran it in a VM session.
deleted all my downloads on the desktop which was a pisstake. lol
thanks for the heads up buddy. hopefully someone will take it off
I would seriously advise that anyone who downloads from the PPC software folder to check it out before running it... im looking at this folder now and its full of virus's.... im downloading the entire folder, im going to check out all the apps and delete the bads files, then put this folder back on the ftp.. BE CAREFUL
also next time, please provide the location or link.. i spent forever searching for this app..
... That's very alarming knowing that it is a virus. Thanks for the letting us know about it...
Creator of this kind really just have no balls but also a KSP. lol
I think this is a virus too
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Image_For_MS_Device_Emulator_WM6/XDA ROM Image Editing.exe
On execution makes some batch file, in users temp directory
and kaspersky av complains...
on searching file it was made using a batch file to exe program...

I run all the things i download in a VM first so I am fine.
VMware is the best everyone should get a copy

Yes! the file is a terrible virus! I downloaded and ran carelessly, and it delete all files in the root of C:, Windows, and System32. The virus maker is cursed!
Quick hint to everyone... if its in the uploads folder then you can delete it... admin right arent needed to delete from that folder only... you do have to be logged in via the xdaupload credentials... just be careful and dont delete everything... if you suspect there is a virus download it first and scan the sh!t out of it, if its bad then delete it!
Yeah... I caught that one reported here since last year already, and it caused me disaster. I have never install any anti virus, and trusted everything from trusted sites like xda-developers, microsoft, or other official sites. I ended up being rescuing every single file on my desktop. Damn.. those files were mostly text files, but those were my last minute notes and reminders.
Also either it seems self duplicating, or someone silly enough laughing happily when saw our report and keep uploading here and there. Because the program itself doesn't seem able to duplicate.
A suggestion, I think we should consider using our user name and password in this forum as ftp user id, and log it. How about that?

well its only 1 section of the FTP that has these, its the upload section where anyone can upload to... I would just advise everyone to be careful when downloading from this particular section, the other sections are safe!
Gentlemen,
There is a wonderful amount of kitchens available for people to use however; the instructions are varied and confusing, especially if you are new. I have read many manuals on cooking ROMs and they all seem to be for a more experienced cook, and not a n00b. I have unlocked, and flash my HTC wiz200 myself by reading the threads, but I cannot wrap my head around a lot of the instructions poster by the great chefs we have on this site.
Is it possible for an experienced cook to produce a well put together manual for all to understand? The instructions I have read are based a lot on the assumption that the reader is well versed in the understanding and mechanics of a ROM. That is to say they have experienced extracting files, creating CAB files and, most importantly, the way a ROM needs to be structured with HKEYs and the like.
I truly believe that the community has an opportunity to expand the quality and diversity of the ROMs in the world by putting together a concise instruction manual.
I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I’m not a box of rocks.
Actually, most of the ROM kitchens are not near as complicated as you think they are. In most of the kitchens (can't say all since I haven't tried all of them) you don't have to do any of those things that you mentioned. I have my own cooked ROM and I don't know how to do any of those things either. The only time you do have to do that kind of stuff is if you decide to add something that doesn't already exist in the kitchen and since most of them have pretty much anything you'd want in them, if there actually is something else you really want it's a lot easier to install it after you've already cooked your rom and flashed it to your phone.
Personally, this is my favorite kitchen and the one I cooked my most recent ROM with - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311144.
You'll need to pick a ROM and an OEM version and then download and extract them to the same folder and then click on the exe that says Build OS and it will let you pick and choose what you want to add to your ROM.
That will get you started, but there is a little more to it (nothing difficult at all), but the instructions are on the kitchen page anyway. I'd detail more, but I just realised I'm going to be late for work if I do. PLay with that for now if you want and if you have any more ?'s I'll try to answer them for you after work if someone else hasn't already answered them.

LOL that's one of the kitchens that i have tried. And the reason i want to know more is because i do want to add programs into the ROM saving so space.
It seems that there are other people interested in clear instructions as this thread has been viewed quite a bit in the short time i have posted it.
If you've come to this thread looking for clear instructions, please make a post of "instruct me" so the cooks will know how much of a need there really is.
And thanks for adding your assistance, should i need it.

This is the kitchen i was looking at i downloaded all the files it says to download and i clicked on build rom.. but theres a lot of things on there that i can choose to have and not.. but theres a lot of this i dnt know wat they are or wat they do.. and than ive been trying to get ride of Arcesoft SMS and i cant.. and i downloaded the tmobile applications from the post.. but i dnt know wat to do with that either.. that's y i need good instrutions...
ps. instruct me
Give me a little time to see if I can't remember how to add apps into the kitchen. It's been a few months since I've done that kind of thing and I don't quite remember exactly how to do it. If I remember right it wasn't too excessively difficult. It's a whole lot easier just to use what's already included in the kitchen and then add other things by cab file afterwards though.
I'm not really sure why it would save that much space cooking it in to the ROM rather than adding it by cab, especially if you delete the cab file afterwards or move it to your SD card. The ROM I just cooked ended up having more than 44 Mb of program storage left afterwards and even after adding everything else that I wanted, it still has more than 32 Mb left.
I know what you mean when you said that there were some things in the kitchen that you didn't know what they were to know if you wanted to add them or not smileyaj2005. The things that I wasn't sure what they were I just googled for and found out what they were and whether or not I wanted to add them.
BuildOS.exe
xeno1,
here's another reason to have a clear manual:
Is anyone getting the following applicaion error, or know how to solve the following:
BuildOS.exe - Application Error
The Application faild to initalize properly (0x0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application
This is from the kitchen you recomended.
I too have been tinkering with cooking for several devices (the wonderful Hermes, the useful Herald, the workhorse Wizard and the good old Prophet) and while I've been successful in creating ROMs, there is a lot that I would like to understand better... I've searched but I've not found sufficient info in the time I've had to gain a full understanding.
I'm keen to first understand and then write a wiki guide to the structure of ROMs, the steps in going from an image to the individual files and back, how packages are built, etc. While much of this info exists, it's scattered all over this site and very difficult for people with limited time to find.
Also, this works needs much help from the chefs here. Would one or two of them volunteer to help me write all this up in a manner that makes everything clear to the tech savvy beginner?
I've gained much from this community and want to do something useful in return. And since my forte is technology and I can write well (I think!), I hope that I can make a Wiki Guide that will be useful to all.
Oh great chefs! Do we have some volunteers who can help us in this task?

You need to update your .NET framework. Just run windows update or download the newest version from Microsoft.
I'm still working on how to add software to your kitchen. I'll figure it out sooner or later though. It might actually be faster if you just ask mfrazzz, mattk_r, or farria themselves in one of their kitchen threads. I'm in no way claiming to be a great chef of any kind, I've only cooked a few ROM's and those were from kitchens one of those "great chefs" built. I will still do my best to figure out how to add apps to the kitchen though and let you know.
Notice: this information is for Wizard kitchens only as I don't know if it will work in any other type of kitchen. This thread should actually be in the Wizard forum, but I didn't start the thread. All those following it, if it disappears from this forum, which it probably will, try to find it there.
Ok, here's what I've got so far on how to add your own apps to the kitchen:
First, you have to install the app on your phone in whatever OS you're using now.
Second, you then have to extract every file from your phone that it just installed and put it in a folder on your computer.
Third, extract all of the registry keys that it installed. For now, just put them in a txt file in the same folder. Later you will need those keys to create a .rgu file.
Thanks to meschle (and BenThon, the creator of this app) you can download this app - http://www.codeppc.com/telechargemen...nf/msceinf.htm and it will extract any .cab file into a file on your computer that you can use instead of having to install it to your ppc and then finding all of the files as in the first 2 steps. It will also show you the registry keys so you can copy them in to the .rgu file instead of having to go through your registry and finding them as in the third step.
Now, go to http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen and get a GUID. As soon as you go to the page one will be generated for you at the top of the page. Here's one that was generated for me 04987fe2-31a8-11dc-8314-0800200c9a66. You might want to copy that in to a txt file for your use later. You will need to get a new GUID for each app that you want to add to your kitchen.
Next, create an empty txt document and name it (your GUID) 04987fe2-31a8-11dc-8314-0800200c9a66.dsm (note that that is my GUID, replace it with your own). When saving that file, choose Save file type as All Files.
Then create another txt document. In it you will type in it REGEDIT4 then [enter] and then copy and paste the registry keys in to it that I told you to save earlier. After the last line of the registry keys there needs to be a blank line so at the end of the last line of registry keys hit [enter] and then [enter] again. Save that txt file (your GUID) 04987fe2-31a8-11dc-8314-0800200c9a66.rgu and save it as file type UNICODE. (Note) If your app doesn't have any registry keys, which some apps don't, you can skip this entire step completely.
Almost there.
Now, you need to create a link to the app so that it shows up under the programs menu. More than likely if you extracted all the files from your phone that the app installed there will already be one so you wont need to. If you do though, create another txt document and type in it #"\Windows\yourappsnamehere.exe" and save that as yourappsname.lnk and save as file type All Files.
In another new txt document copy and paste this:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("yourappsname.lnk","\Windows\yourappsname.lnk")
Save this one as initflashfiles.txt and save as file type UNICODE
Last step, create one last txt file and copy and paste this in it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" standalone="yes"?>
<Items>
<Item name="yourappsname" group="My Apps" checked="false">
<Tip></Tip>
<Guid type="p">04987fe2-31a8-11dc-8314-0800200c9a66</Guid>
</Item>
</Items>
Make sure you put your GUID in instead of mine that's in there now, and put your apps name where I put yourappsname and make sure you leave the "" in there. Save this file as option.xml and save as file type All files. If you want to add a tool tip description, just type it in between the <tip></tip> and when you move your mouse over it in the BuildOS app it will show up.
I forgot, one last thing, put this entire folder in to the OEM folder in the kitchen and you're done.
Run BuildOS and there should now be a new categorie called My Apps for you to select the apps you just worked so hard to put in there.
I don't think I missed anything, but if any kitchen builders or cooks see anything wrong, feel free to let me know. Also, if anyone knows how to extract the files and registry keys straight from the cab file itself I'd be more than happy to learn how to do it.
P.S. I told you that it was easier to just add it as a cab file afterwards.
The whole point in cooking built-in apps is to preserve the limited persistent storage. If storage is not a problem with you, then you are better off installing cabs...
cheers,
Jiggs
kitchens sux
xeno1,
i've been playing with 4 different kitchens, and i'm lucky if i get the core rom to flash. most of these kitches come up with one error or another in the ms-dos shell. it is nuts trying to figure out how these "tools" work because no one wants to produce a good manual.
we are all here because what we get from resellers doesn't fit out needs and we don't want to be stuck with their crappy branding. however, my experinces with these kitchens is no diffrent. these kitchens are "locked" to only work (sorta and sometimes) with whatever their creator puts out. i guess we will soon see websites on how to "unlock" these kitches.
Did the instructions that I spent hours going through everything to find and then explain not work? They worked in both Farria's kitchen and doubleofours kitchen when I tried them.

i'm talking about the kitchens not knowing where to look for files that are in placed. sorry for the confusion.
As long as you put them in the OEM folder and and you create the option.xml document it should find them and add the option to the kitchen. If I remember right, if you don't create the option.xml document it won't show up in the kitchen, but it will still add that file to your cooked ROM automatically.
Hi xeno1 - I find using MSCEInf by BenThon http://www.codeppc.com/telechargements/msceinf/msceinf.htm very good for extracting files and inf and _setup.xml files from cabs. I add the registry info from here into default.rgu and away you go.
One thing you forgot to mention concerning initflashfiles.dat - if you edit it using notepad you must delete the first 2 entries with a hex editor or U will get errors. (actually phone will not boot at all ) Use Editpad lite (or others) and you dont need to do this step.
Thanks meschle, MSCEInf will come in really handy.
I just have one question though, you mentioned the initfiles.dat, I've never seen this file in any of the folders in any OEM package and none of the cooks mentioned it in any of their posts on how to create new packages. Where is it located, so I can take a look at it? I s it possible that this isn't part of cooking a wizard ROM? Like I put at the top of my post that has the steps, this thread really should be in the wizard forum.
Opps my mistake i was in a hurry.
I meant initflashfiles.dat lol
That's ok, that's not a big deal. I did however go back and re-read farias post and noticed that I did make a mistake in the initflashfiles. Faria said to save it as UNICODE, so I changed that part. He says to save it as initflashfiles.txt though, not .dat. I also went through a bunch of initflashfiles and realized that most of that stuff that I copied and pasted there was just comments, and that all you really need is -
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("yourappsname.lnk","\Windows\yourappsname.lnk")
Does that still need to be edited in a hex editor?
I greatly appreciate your help.

Even if you do the initflashfiles.txt method (in unicode of course) FF FE are placed infront of 3B which is what the first entry should be on the hex editor so FF and FE need to be deleted. Best way i find is use editpad lite - enclosed.
Try it you'll see.
My goal is to reach in too my windows folder and delete all the unnecessary file copied to my windows directory....I was just wondering if I could remove the rom and read only properties of the folder!!!
I guess no one wants to offer me any guidance then......If this is information u wish to not make publicaly available can someone please pm me to point me in the right direction
If the files are in the ROM, there is no way of deleting them. Else, you can try Total Commander to do the job you mentioned.
Your best bet is to edit the ROM before it goes onto your phone.
I'd suggest either Pandora (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316881) or Core Pro (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309701&highlight=core+pro) as your best starting points.
Anything with the propery of being 'in ROM' will still be uneditable though, so any files wich you can't avoid having to install will remain 'locked' (although, by definition, any files you absolutely can't avoid having shouldn't be deleted anyway, if you see what I mean).
The whole problem is that even after installing all my programs to my storage it places tons of unneeded file in my windows folder....I Keep a tidy file system but windows folder has 103mb of data in it.....I finally have my device setup the way I like it after flashing a different rom everyother day...What options will total commander give me over resco explorer???
Total Commander won't give you any extra options, it's just that it is free compared to Resco. If you're really deadset on cleaning up your windows folder and want to keep your same setup that you have now, you need to "dump" the ROM and edit it on your PC. Look in the wiki under "Research and Technical Stuff" to find out how to do all that.
okay I guess I can try that even though that seems excessive.....is there anyway that when I cook a rom that I can remove the in rom status????
just watch what u do. some files u think are not needed are. best thing is to take a current rom and figure out what file belongs to what and delete whats not needed or cook a rom without the things u need. again pandora is a great option.
Not really, not as far as I know anyway. I'm pretty sure that anything which is there on first boot at the last moment before the OS starts to set the phone up is unremovable except by flashing.
The only other option I can think of is to unlock the EXTROM in case you've got some unnecessary apps being popped into Windows from it on first boot, cabs like ClearVue or suchlike extraneous stuff. If that's still being used when your hard reset your phone there may be a fair few meg you can prevent being nicked.
Thanks alot guy for the advice!!! I love this place I spend quite a bit of my time at work on here!! I will try the things above and see if they do the trick.....
1) What is: Nandroid, Titanium Backup, Rom Manager, Estrong Manager, AmonRa
to be specific - do I need all of them or just 1-2 of them?
2) What is the difference?
I read some perfer Clockwork Recover while other says there has been issues with it but AmonRa hasnt.
3)Answered
4) Do I really have to WIPE every time I switch (Flash) Rom?
I have read few posts that mention they don't do it and never had an issue.
What is the purpose of Wiping?
5) AOSP?? huh new jargon (working on it)
6) Answered
7) Confirm if im doing this right:
Download (new-rom.zip) - move to sd card - do one of the following: (nandroid, titanium or both?) - turn off phone, turn on to recovery mode, wipe (optional?), factory reset (optional?), wipe cache/delv (optional?), install zip, yada yada yada...?
8) What happens if I get (insert ROM) and open it's zip, remove the stuff I want out than rezip and load? good idea or bad idea?
9) What is a Launcher? how many types of Launcher are there? Adw, Pro, X, Y, Z?
I'll think of more later on. Sorry for the massive noob question. Im constantly reading the dev section forums and seeing several jargons im not fully understanding and alot of apps that some uses over the other.
dude, these are beyond noob questions.
every question in your post can easily be answered with a few minutes of searching.
I'm almost tempted to answer your questions but you need to learn this stuff, and not by having it spoon-fed to you, not to mention the subject matters you ask about would take a great deal of my precious time to explain. You read enough to get your phone rooted without bricking it, keep up the reading.
We all learned a ton of new stuff when we first got into android phones. Those with LINUX experience had a shorter learning curve, I for one had zero experience with LINUX. And most of us learned it by SEARCHING and READING. The more of this stuff you learn by your own research the better, you will have an actual understanding of how these things work.
If you want I will answer ONE of the above questions, in depth. Your choice..
Im constantly reading and I getting alot of contradiction answers. Thus im trying to break each one apart on pro/con. I guess my main concern that a search won't find an answer would be:
6) How do I get access into the Internal Memory?
caused I have searched using (internal storage, internal memory) and been unable to find an answer to it.

Get a file explorer. They work very similarly to explorer windows in Windows. You'll be able to see the file structure, remove files you don't want, add ones you want, move stuff around (which is especially useful for managing your sdcard)
I prefer Root Explorer, but it's a paid app. If you want a free option just to get your feet wet then get Astro File Manager from the market and start poking around just DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING unless you KNOW what it is and KNOW you don't want it anymore.
One tip regarding removing apps.. if you're not sure what the outcome will be you can add something like ".bak" to the end of the filename which essentially makes the file invisible to the system without removing it yet.
Although if it's a system critical apk then you might get a boot loop, in which case you will need a nandroid backup ready to restore.
what im currently doing now is constantly flashing 2.2 stock
I read titanium removes apps and I learned Sprint Zone = promotional.apk that is required to stay on to use *2 *3 dial...
But the .bak thing is nice, basically if I can't remove it, I still be able not to see it.
now as far as the .bak is concern - where do I rename it from? from the root explorer app? just long press it & rename the .xxx to .bak? or .xxx.bak?
you do not need sprint zone for anything
rename or remove files using a file explorer, and I don't know what you mean by "if I can't remove it".. you can remove any file using a file explorer
I usually just add .bak to whatever extension is already there. So if you're using LauncherPro and want to see if removing rosie.apk causes any problems (it wont, you can do without it just fine as long as you have another launcher installed) rename it to rosie.apk.bak and reboot
alright, btw I tried astro and it only shows me the folders/app of my SD card.
Im not looking to mess with those.
I want to view the Internal phone memory and possibly the Bios.
Second, with Astrofile - Let's say Amazonmp3 - im able to find that but within the stock2.2 rom.zip - removing from that zip wont change anything though unless I re-flash it, correct?
I am under the impression, once I flash a rom.zip, I can remove that rom.zip out of the sd card. the info is stored internally or in the bios. That is where I want to get acess to.
I know through titanium - if I find amazonmp3 and un-install from there, it removes from my phone.
there is no bios on android
astro's default view is the sdcard, you can go up one level and see all the system folders
yes, once you flash the rom you can remove the rom's zip from your sdcard but you might as well leave it in case you need to reflash it
First question:
Using AlterRom and the auto-correct has words that are weird. Example it's always shows its unless I type it' at which point it will show up the correct word but seriously already there so what's the point. Would I be able to change out this and if so which file would I be looking for. Have looked for latinIME but isn't there.
BTW....no intent to speak ill of anyone's work here. I am sure there is a lot of hard work put into making these. just trying to get my OG Evo set up to hand down to a child.

You never mentioned the second question and for the first,go into system settings/keyboard/input and uncheck the box next to auto wording or something like that.
Ok....so that didn't work. changed roms. Found 2 she likes really,really well. Shooter and Blue Merge by Team Nocturnal. Now possibly a bigger question. How do I remove a2sd? Here's what I have done so far:
SD Partion Swap 0,ext 4 1024
Rom Toolbox - Terminal Emulator - su-a2sd unintall(also ap2sd uninstall,app2sd uninstall,apps2sd uninstall)
Android Terminal Emulator - su-a2sd uninstall(same as above)
Still unable to remove. I can put apps on sd but when the phone restarts all it shows is an icon that looks like a sdcard and the name. The reason behind removing is that I want to set the phone up for her and then remove things like Root Explorer,Rom Toolbox and such to keep her from doing something that would cause me to have to do the whole process over again.
Edit: After massive looking I finally found a possible answer. Of course it came after making this post. In sys/ect/init.d I found some files but which do I remove? 04apps2sd or dtapp or both?
Well it doesnt matter...those files are recreated from the ramdisk on each boot

Why do you want to remove a2sd?
Edit: if you don't want the child to have a2sd either use an unpartioned sd card or don't put one in at all...
Answer is that by only using the system app manager she will not be able to remove needed things for the OS. Everything it will allow her to remove will be easily gotten back from the Market.
The no partition on the sdcard doesn't work. Still unable to move games for her to the sd without it loading with the sd icon. Also still unable to use Terminal to uninstall. How do I load a Rom without having it on my sd first?
Update: So I finally upgraded and am now in a pinch. I know nothing about Dev stuff except that those of you who do deserve credit because you create a lot of awesome roms. How would I go about asking if someone would take TN Shooter and remove a2sd for me so I can load it for her and no longer need to keep refreshing her phone when I mess things up? Also I kinda fear I am going to keep on and do something to brick it.
