Permanent Save

Hey,

Are there any registry entries for Permanent Save? Or is there any way to enable permanent save on a hard reset to restore anything in Storage (i.e. an executable like SetButtonLock.exe)?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] toenailed:
okih this is definitely not my lucky day .. it already happen in my PM then it also happen in this post .. and twice

after creating a long instruction on how to create a CM_Entries.xml ..

i just want to preview my post then of course i click the Preview button .. then suprise the browser says

"The Page Cannot be displayed"

then voila .. all my message are gone .. grrrrr...

to ncruz

okih i m little tired to recreate it again bro or look for the ..

but promise i will post how to create a CM_entries.xml

in this wiki page

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=How to Create a GPRS Connections CAB: XML Method

anyway can you pm me the CM_Entries.xml that you already created bro . so i can study the connection settings you have and why it doesnt register

if i got an extra time during my break tomorrow bro (usually im still have some patient even in my breaktime.. :cry: ).. i will create a wiki page then post it here the link about creating the CM_Entries.xml ..

anyway bro the connections can be found in this registry section

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr

and in this

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook

you have manually set the connections first and then export this two registry section

i will create a wiki for this

Re: Permanent Save

Hey toenailed,

Thanks, but there is a problem. Instead of restoring on a hard reset, permanent save overwrites the backups. So, it skips restoring and goes straight to synchronizing. Any ideas?

Owner Info Reg

Hi

Great thread! Now that I have updated to 1.12 and 1.40. I'm working on rebuilding my SX66. I thought it would be a good time to try some of the things you suggest since I hate reentering stuff.

The set button lock worked great.

Now I'm trying to create a reg file to add owner info. I used Resco's registry editor to export my settings before upgrading and the clean registry after upgrading.

I used notepad on XP to cut my Owner information into a new reg file with the standard header:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Owner]

"Owner"=hex:57,00,...

Resulting in an error X Unknown error importing Registry script file.

Resco uses \ to divide the long hex string so next I tried making mine match MORcustom deleting the \ so it was one long hex string. Still same error.

Any suggestions? What tools do you use? I am thinking that eventually I'll import it into a cab file that I can execute in my hard reset config.txt.

Thanks, great thread hope I can get mine to work soon.

Re: Permanent Save

hi Khashim ..

yeah i was really tired last night to give the Registry .. it will just synchronize the contacts since Permanent Save use exes or dlls to synchronize while uses the MyCpl.cpl Permanent Save Settings for Restoring .. :(
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] toenailed:
Re: Owner Info Reg

if you export the registry in Resco you need to add this to uppertop most of the reg file

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

if you export the registry with PHM Regestry Editor you need to use this instead

REGEDIT4

NOW if you use the Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 you have to remember that the reg file should be save as Unicode

and

if you use the REGEDIT4 you have to save it as ANSI

in notepad you can set it by clicking File->Save As.. then under Encoding List Box use the Appropriate Encoding Type (ANSI or Unicode)

Now if you are using the WinCe Cab Manager to import the reg file .. remember to remove the \ and spaces in the OWNER or Notes cause the WinceCab manager will only import the first line before the first "\"

Regedit

Toenailed:

Thanks, Without your help I never would have figured all that out. Guess you need the secret handshake or it is clear as mud.

...and all:

Is there a way to skip the screen align on hard reset?

I searched my registry for entries related to my email imap server I had added and only found this...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\SyncServiceProviders\INet]

There are no entries under it and no other reference.... Where is messenger putting the account info?

I also import my new reg file into Win CE Cab Mgr and when I try and install it I get an error that it isn't valid for my device. Is this because the cab has no files or does it only use the original format? I tried the one for WM2003.

Now I just wish there was a way to feed active sync a playlist list sort of thing of software you want reloaded. I often park stuff I'm not useing by removing the program from my SX66 but leaving it in active sync. I have more stuff than my SX66 likes to handle.

Thanks again Toenailed and all!

Re: Permanent Save

i intentionally remove the attachment since the proggie does work .. it only execute the Permanent Save Settings and .. if you state the exe under the config.txt it will not wait till the Permanent save closes and the cab installation will still go on .. but if you still want to try the file here it is .. just remove the RST command in your config.txt then manually reset your device .. so it will not reset after it execute the Permanent save .. :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] toenailed:
Re: Regedit

just create a file name it ---> welcome.not .. then place it to your storage card .. it doesnt necessarily needed what type of file.. i only tried it once .. but i create a text file then name it welcome.not .. but the problem is the stylus is not align .. but you can find the setting of the screen alignment .. in here

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]

AFAIK the .. settings for POP3 and IMAP4 can be found somewhere in reg section [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\ or in HKLM .. ill just check later .. i still dont have my device yet ..

but you need to create a folder and the folder is place in database .. so you will not be able to use the reg

about the MSN if im not mistaken the registry can be found here

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MessengerService]

i dont have my device .. so icant make it sure ..

use the Original .. the Pocket PC 2003 option is only compatible to WM2003 and not for SE .. but if you use the Original cab format.. you will getting the Annoying Message saying "the Progrma you have installed may not display properly ...etc"

to remove this you need to set MAXIMUM OS BUILD to 0xE0000000hex or -536870912 .. but the wince cab manager cannot set the Maximum OS Build in a negative value .. it will just popup saying you need to input a positive value .. you can only set a negative value in cabwiz ..

so what im suggesting is if you really want to use wince cab manager to create a cab .. use a CAB Template .. here i attach a cab u can use this one ..i already set the BuildMAx to -536870912, Minimum OS version to 4.0 and Maximum to 4.99 ..

everytime you want to create a cab .. just make sure youve change the Company and Application name and dont Ever Opent the Operating System Tab in Cab information Properties .. then dont click save .. just use save as.. :)

Re: Cab Manager

actually i still consider CABwiz the best cab creating program ..

it comes with Pocket PC 2003 SDK and free to download in MS site ..

heres the link that teach how to create a cab using cabwiz

http://www.sundialsoft.freeserve.co.uk/cabinfo.htm

http://www.codeproject.com/ce/pocketpc_deploy.asp

but i will not expect that all will gonna love this proggie since .. you have to type it manually under notepad .. so you can just try the

WinCe Cab Manager since you can easily imported the reg file

http://www.ocpsoftware.com/products.php?nm=cecabmgr

or if you want a more advance cab installer then

e-pocketSetup

http://www.e-pocketsetup.com/

but still EVC++ 4.0 SP4 and Cabwiz is the most advance method in creating cab

Re: Permanent Save

Hey toenailed,

That would definately work on a BA. The only problem with that is that once there is a ROM update with new versions of Camera, Java, Album, etc., then you have to go through all that trouble. Also, although I like Sprite Backup, it messes up sometimes (for example, message databases can become corrupt).

If there is no other way, I'll do that. But I really want to find a way that deals solely with the extended ROM.

Thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] toenailed:
Re: Permanent Save

hey .. i definitely agree with you .. thats why i created the XdA2Jojo.v3.2zS.cab .. so we can still use the Sprite Backup to restore and yet we can still use the Config.txt to cook our own rom .. so incase a new version of OEM cab is release .. we can easily replace it without having to recreate the sprite backup ..

actually you can use both .. the sprite backup and the extended ROM config.txt ..without even use my XdA2JoJo.v3.2zS.cab .. if you still interested i cn post later how ..

and for Wallaby (by itsme)

http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/xda-controlpanel.html

use D25RUN bro http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=19706

copy the D25RUN.exe and D25RUN.txt in your extended_ROM

then edit the D25RUN.txt find which ctlpnl.exe will open the Permanent Save

example of D25RUN.txt

# Will Open the Password Settings in HIMALAYA WM2003SE or WM5.0

app=\Windows\ctlpnl.exe

param="\Windows\cplmain.cpl,1"

then after you found it .. just add

EXEC:\Extended_ROM\D25RUN.exe

in your config.txt and remove the RST: RESET Command

Installing an exe file in Ext Rom

not just maybe .. its 199% true .. a very good looking .. .. i will kill whoever disagree hehehe .. :wink:

hi cease .. just include it in config.txt .. use the autorun.exe bro that uses the config.txt so it will surely run the exe .. anyways heres a very important notice(ok, i will say this again, in himalaya it is very important but im not sure in BA if this is also needed)

if you state a cab bro .. make sure that there is a space between the CAB: and \Extended_ROM .. example

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PersonalSettings.CAB

but if you state an exe dont include a Space between the EXEC and the :\Extended_ROM .. example

EXEC:\Extended\ROM\SetButtonLock.exe

and also it is very important that the exe file is stated after the last CAB file installed .. so it should look like this (example only)

CAB: \Extended_ROM\CallerID.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Camera.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Album.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\OwnerInformation.CAB

EXEC:\Extended_ROM\SetButtonLock.exe

RST: Reset

Hi all,

Thanks for all great knowledge that is shared here.

I’ve been looking around for some time to find a working solution for one of my problems but is yet to find one that works for me.

I would like a cab file for the GPRS-settings to the Swedish operators (Telia, Vodafone, Tele2 and Multicom).

I’ve tried the following things from this site.

1.	Exported the registry with the Resco tool before and after I’ve entered the connection information. Then used the difference between the reg-files (with CompareIT!) and added “Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00” at the top of the file. I’ve tried ANSI and Unicode. I imported the resulting reg-file into WinCE Cab manager and created a CAB-file. When “running” the CAB-file I get a connection with the right name and modem set to “Cellular Line (GPRS). The thing that doesn’t is included is the APN. I don’t know about the username, password etc since Telia doesn’t use it.

2.	I think the XML-method (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=How to Create a GPRS Connections CAB: XML Method) would do it for me but I don’t know what to do with the xml ie. how do I get from xml to CAB.

I’m sure the requested information is here some where but I couldn’t find it.

Thankful for help.

Registry settings to Cab using ie

Hi all,

I'm trying to develop an online utility to enable people to create their own personalisation CABs using just reg files.

Eventually the idea is that people can enter their settings/options into a webpage & create a CAB file - but at the moment I just have it accepting .reg files and popping out a CAB at the end.

It's still in the early stages of development, but I would appreciate any feedback.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Knight__Mayor:
Hi wshealy,

You have a fair point there. Personally, I have never come across an application reg key within the registry - but I don't doubt that they can exist. Further to that - I fully understand that Owner Info is very sensitive information that people would not want to share.

The fact that I KNOW that the uploaded reg file is deleted as soon as the CAB is produced, and that the resultant cab is deleted as soon as it's downloaded is moot - I can't really prove it to you guys. (Unless anyone want's to know how it's done).

However, as far as I'm concerned - the vast majority of 'personal' registry settings I use are purely based on preference of OS settings (my today screen, my today items order & selection, my spbWeather settings, my button mappings, etc etc) and I woudn't care about anyone knowing these.

I'm a hobbyist developer & full time Pocket PC enthusiast - I made the page to give some of my mates from work (fellow PPC lovers) who didn't have a way to produce cabs the ability to do so. Plus - it's still veery early in development so I was kinda hoping you guys could bug test it 4 me. :oops:

The posts within these forums have taught me everything I know about my M1000 and figured that in doing this I could give a little something back to the community.

I guess what I'm trying to say is - if it's useful to ya - use it. If not - ignore it.

Sorry for going on a bit, but I had a point to make. :lol:
