[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xeno1:
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.
