Did you read the kaiser specific portion of the tutorial, under creating packages from ROM files? That's my notes from when I extracted and removed all the packages from the HTC ROMs and created v1 of my HTC folders/packages.

A similar process was done to extract packages from the AT&T ROMs. It's not a simple process as it requires more knowledge than just a couple of tutorials can provide and is rather time consuming.

If/when you can understand those notes, then you should be able to figure out how to extract packages from other people's ROMs. However, as others have already noticed, some chefs delete the RGU files from their ROMs, making it impossible to use their folders as OEM packages unless you do registry dumps. This is why I state in the FAQ section of the Kitchen Tutorial to just ask the chef instead of just trying to extract the ROM...

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

I tried adding a few of my own OEM packages and although they appear in the kitchen, they don't appear on the flashed ROM????

Is there a way of checking my own packages WITHOUT having to flash my Kaiser to see if the package is OK or not??

Cheers

John
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Edit kaiserkitchen.cmd in notepad and find the following line:

:11
:11.Cleanup.bat

add the following line underneath the lines above

GOTO :EOF

This will bypass the cleanup stages during the extracting/cooking process, allowing you to view temp\dump, which will contain all the files burnt into the ROM.

No harm will be done by eliminating the cleanup process, except that cleanup will occur during the next run of the cooking cycle during BuildOS....

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I have a slight problem when trying to make a OEM from a cab. All the cab has is a registry edit and MSCEInfen does not allow me to extract the contents (most likely its because it has no contents just the reg change). How can I fix this? Or is there a way to make an OEM from a .reg file?

_Alex_ you've been very helpful!

thanks again
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] odyseus:
Thanks for the advice Alex,

I now know what I was doing wrong..

In using OEMizer, it inputs the various files and shortcuts, together with their installation path. What I didn't do was check the paths and shortcuts...

That said I've tried to make a OEM pacakge of HTC Cube but the pocket PC freezes at the point where you have to touch the screen to do a calibration??? Maybe I'll tried another ROM without the cube and add the CAB file manually??

Cheers

Ody
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
That's when I resort to the manual process of extracting the cab file and looking at all the files in a text editor. Then I use the process detailed in extracting packages from ROMs to create an OEM package.

I've kept this answer rather brief, tell me if you want/need more.

Hope this helps...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] odyseus:
Well I'm a bit stuck now because when I flash a custom ROM it hangs at the calibration stage. I thought it was my HTC Cube OEM package, but it still does the same thing without it. The trouble is I would have to keep adding a package one at a time untill I found the problem package and this would take forever???

Anyone care to try out the HTC cube package ??

Cheers

I'm almost there. I managed to make one of my cabs containing a reg edit only to work. What I did was instead of going to 'extract cab files with original names in a folder' (which was grayed out), I went to XML setup. There I could use the option 'extract cab files with original names in a folder' and it worked but only for one cab.

I tried that same procedure with a cab I made to remap the hardware buttons and I got an error in the kitchen :( as soon as I removed this package everything went fine.

Next, I made a package for PCMKeyboardEN-0.12 and I'm not sure how to get it to work properly. After I flashed I don't see it in the input settings, where did I go wrong? Also, I'm trying to make this keyboard work in conjunction with Sipchange to make it the default keyboard, I'm pretty sure this is a reg setting but how can I accomplish this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
I've tried this myself awhile back and I wasn't able to get this to display as one of my SIP choices either. Also had no success with other SIPs. However, there are working Touch SIP OEMs, so I must of missed something. Didn't try too long though ;)

Please continue to share if you are successful!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
You'll need to edit initflashfiles.txt in the FTouchFlo OEM package. Remark out or delete the following lines:

;;;Placing in Startup causes issues with initial alignment during welcome;;;;;
;Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("Start FTouchFlo.lnk", "\Windows\Start FTouchFlo.lnk")

You can use FTouchFloConfig to enable instead. Hope this helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] fde2blk22:
Here's my progress report on the SIP/PCMKeyboard OEM:

-I made it show up!

-When I tried to make it the default input method, it would either not get past the smart mobility screen on boot or the kitchen would give me an error while creating the registry.

Using the HTC Touch Keyboard OEM as a guide, I tracked the registry entries I needed to modify:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BB25F2EB-688C-4698-ADFC-F422A148AD4F}]
@="PCM Keyboard"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BB25F2EB-688C-4698-ADFC-F422A148AD4F}\DefaultIcon]
@="pcmkeyboard.dll,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BB25F2EB-688C-4698-ADFC-F422A148AD4F}\IsSIPInputMethod]
@="1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BB25F2EB-688C-4698-ADFC-F422A148AD4F}\InprocServer32]
@="\"\\Program Files\\PCMKeyboard\\pcmkeyboard.dll\""

When I made a package with the above I included these as well:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9]
"XT9SupportMSSip"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]
"SuggAutoCorr"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PocketCM\Keyboard]
"SuggestionEnabled"=dword:00000000
"Skin"="Touch"
"Layout"="English"
"Dictionary"="English (small)"
"FeedbackDelay"=dword:00000064
"AutoCorrectionEnabled"=dword:00000000

Those should've sufficed but as said before I've not been 100% successful.

I'm close though, I just need to figure those registry entries out.

Here's what's causing the issue:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]
"SuggWords"=dword:00000000
"SuggAutoCorr"=dword:00000000
"DefaultIm"="{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}"
"MenuBarHeight"=dword:0000001A
"DragStyle"=dword:00000000
"SuggTypedBon"=dword:00000004
"SuggPrevPen"=dword:0000000F
"SuggMapBon"=dword:0000000F
"SuggCorrPen"=dword:0000001E
"SuggTwoCharPen"=dword:00000001
"SuggOneCharPen"=dword:00000005
"SuggDynWordBon"=dword:0000000C
"SuggWordLenMin"=dword:00000004
"SuggContDictCount"=dword:0000001F
"SuggSpell"=dword:00000001
"SuggSpace"=dword:00000001
"SuggWeight"=dword:00000000
"SuggChars"=dword:00000000
"AllowChange"=dword:00000001

if "DefaultIm"="{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}" is changed to "DefaultIm"="{BB25F2EB-688C-4698-ADFC-F422A148AD4F}" it wont boot.

I'm going to keep trying, will post when I'm successful :cool:

This is excellent work! Thanks for sharing!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] fde2blk22:
Finally succeeded!

Here's how to change your default SIP by running SIPchange on startup. This method is working for me, not sure if it might work for others.

The attached is the OEM for PCMKeyboardEN-0_12 with the Touch skin as default, place this in your Packages folder. If you would like to change this skin, go to the .rgu and modify the "Skin"="Touch" entry found in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PocketCM\Keyboard].

Next is the OperatorPKG folder which is to be placed in the OEM folder. The contents of this are the default Htc.tsk, animated startup, some PROVXML files, and 2 cab files which only have registry changes, these are:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\The Paradigm Group\sipchange\Parameters]
"Delay"="5"
"DefaultSIP"="PCM Keyboard"

The above configures SIPChange and :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color]
"BaseHue"=dword:000000a0

which changes the BaseHue to black.

If you don't need the HTC.tsk or the BaseHue change, remove the following:

D!_BaseHue.cab

Htc.tsk

Edit the config_operator:

LOCK:Enabled

CAB: \WINDOWS\D! Configure SIPchange.cab

CFG: \WINDOWS\config_PT.txt

That should do it. If you try this, let me know if this worked for you ;)

:eek: glad I got that done, now time to move on!

One month with the same ROM ? :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SJ@XDA-IIs:
Alex,

Thanks for your excellent OEM packages. I've used it as a guide to clean/upgrade the contents of my ROM.

How do you get to know which registries belong to which parts? Is there a tool for that? or do you have to do it the hardway by manually selecting them one by one? I can imagine that will be time consuming ;)

My second question: I have problems modifying the provxml setting. I manually rename the file extension to text and change it with notepad. However, the changes won't be applied when flashed.

My intention is to delete some unwanted ringtones from the OEMDriver and keep only selected one. When I modified the content of 'mxip_htcApps_HTC_ringtone.provxml' as described, only three ringtones left as option in sound settings. What did I do wrong?

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] fde2blk22:
I'm actually not sure, since there isn't an update available to test yet I wouldn't be able to give you a definitive yes or no.

What I'll do is try it with previous versions to see if it works, I'll downgrade to .11 and try to update it via the .12 cab to see if it works. I'll post the results here ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Q1: It's a long and tedious process, especially the part where you go through all the .RGU files. It's even longer if you convert all the provxml files to .RGU format, like I've done for some of the AT&T OEM packages.

There were some notes I've written up on the wiki and have since re-linked back, on the FAQ area of the OEM tutorial.

Q2: provxml files are very touchy. It's always been hit or miss for me. One of the things you must be sure of is that your text editor can load/save in unicode. I'm not quite sure what else could go wrong, so I usually just convert provxml to RGU.

Hope this helps!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SJ@XDA-IIs:
Alex,

Thanks for your explanation. I know how tedious it is to convert the RGU/Provxml back. I will check out your tutorials ASAP.

Regarding my problem. I tried to modify the provxml and replaced it directly on the OEM Driver folder and it didn't work. I tried to put all the files & provxml into separate OEM package and flashed them and still not working.

So I finally had to create an RGU file as you had suggested to get them to work.

Cheers!

@ medkid my test failed which means you're going to have to stick with the .12 version or wait until a newer version is out to find a workaround.

Could I do something else with these packages?

Hi people,

Here's a question. Whatever I put into the ROM will actually take double in the storage memory of my Kaiser: the ROM itself plus the room the packages will occupy when they are installed. My custom ROM is 72 megs now!

Could someone please enlighten me on Kaiser memory use?

Like, give me the right link?

It's got 256mb storage and 128 RAM, right? Which would be faster, Kaiser storage memory or SD card memory? Where does the system swap to? Where should I put IE cache files?

Are in fact these 256 megs of storage used for anything else than, well, storing ROM and programs it installs? Maybe I shouldn't worry about my custom ROM size growing?

If the 256mb storage place does need to be kept neat and small, then maybe I should only put vital things in my custom ROM (settings, etc.) and make a gigantic CAB file (72megs+) where all of my programs would go so that they didn't take double the space of the Kaiser storage? I could store this CAB on the SD card and run after a hard reset when needed?

Is there some kind of a CAB kitchen for dummies like Alex's Kaiser ROM kitchen, a set of folders and scripts allowing to keep all those OEM packages ready to be compiled into a gigantic CAB?

Also, regarding editing .RGU and initflashfiles.txt stuff - will any unicode editor do? I use notepad (Windows XP SP2), but it's not awfully user friendly.

Please somebody help me with the all that, I am pretty sure it's been discussed a million times, so sorry for an idiotic post, but I just can't find it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Megavvolt:
Is there anybody out there?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
One of the problems with cooking is that all files are written to \Windows and then copied to \Program Files. I don't have a solution to get around that, but that's why some apps take up double memory.

Others have recommended installing those apps as CABs, and that's what I have resorted to as well.

If you have a Class 6 microSD SDHC card, it's actually 1.5 to 2x as fast as the flash memory (256MB storage space) on the card. IE cache files are written to storage memory and if you use cleartemp on occasion, you should have plenty of space. Keep at least 32MB free, which shouldn't be hard at all..

There is the commandline only version, known as cabwiz by Microsoft. Then there are a bunch of GUIs for cabwiz, such as 'Cab-O-Matic' and 'WinCE CAB Manager'. Out of the three, I've only used WinCE CAB Manager trial version and I find it easy to use, and may consider purchasing it in the future.

I alternate between notepad++ and jedit.

Hope this helps!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Megavvolt:
Thank you again Alex for your great support and help!

I found two programs that will make a CAB of CABs:

http://www.e-pocketsetup.com/pocketwizard/download.asp

http://www.pocketpctoolkit.com/WhatIsIt1_PPCInstaller.php

What these programs do is they take several CAB files and turn them into a single CAB file that you run on your PDA to install in one go. No more duplicate files in \Windows folder!

The first program provides full functionality for the first 30 days of use - no limitations at all.

Now I use your UltraClean ROM customized to meet my needs (with Tilt keyboard fix and some other stuff integrated) while all the bulky stuff stays on my SD card cooked into one installer file.

Taming Activesync

Found a trick showing how to stop your PDA's Activesync from constantly starting itself waiting to connect:

http://www.mobile9.com/invboard/index.php?showtopic=35511

================

Activesync periodically starts itself and hogs your PocketPC's precious resources. To prevent this from happening you can do this trick.

--

1. Open Activesync

2. Menu > Add Server Source

3. Add Server address [one letter will do] > Next

4. Fill in the fields [again one letter will do] > Next

5. Un-check everything [optional] > Next

6. Really Close Activesync [optional but recommended]

7. Open Activesync again

8. Menu > Schedule

9. Choose Manually for both

10. Close Activesync

--

Activesync should start when you connect your device to a Computer but will not start periodically and use resources.

================

I tried to log the changes and make an OEM package for this trick but the changes are so numerous and I am so ignorant that I kind of failed to do it.

Could someone better than me find it worth doing? Or, isn't there some kind of a CAB file already cooked for this? I just can't find it.

Problem converting Cab to Package

_ALEX_ -

I have 3 cabs I am trying to convert and am having problems.

I did one for Advanced Config v2 with no problem except for the missing shortcut in start menu.

I did these the same way and the package creator 5.4 says all ok, but

when I go to Build OS it gives me an error and will not accept them. Once I remove them Build OS works fine again.

Also another question. You have Resco 5.4 in your packages, When I use it I get the explorer and reg editor. What I am trying to do is also get ethe FTP addin. How did you combine 2 cabs into 1 package ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
What's the exact error messages? You have a tendency to offer little information when asking for help, and I'm not psychic :D

combining two cabs into one package is just a matter of merging the RGU and initflashfiles.txt along with the folder contents together. BTW, I no longer include Resco 5.4 in my v5 packages due to licensing issues, so I'm not going to address specifics to commercial applications.

Hope this helps!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stainlesspc:
If I read correctly, I build 3 separate cabs then cut and paste the RGU and initflashfiles.txt together with notepad and combine the rest of the contents and just keep the one dsm I want.

Sorry, I tend to be to brief, and leave out some info at times.

I will do better.

I ran Build OS again with and with out eWallet selected.

When selected I got an error, when I removed it Build OD ran fine. Here is what I got ( screen shot of Error message, BuildosX-log.txt file and the package.

Any help will be appreciated :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
I'm going to give you just enough information for you to solve the problem on your own. (Always better to teach a man how to fish :D)

The last lines in the BuildosX-log.txt is all that you need. When you look at the specified file and line #, read the FAQ section of the OEM Tutorial for how to fix the error.

You should be able to figure out the rest. Hope this helps!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stainlesspc:
Thanks I think I have an idea now.

I am not a programmer and am trying to understand what I am doing.

I did not understand what all of the Buildos-Xlog.txt ment. I do not have everything here at work (mostly because I still can not get it to run here) I will look at it tonight and see what I find, and let you know.

Thanks :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
No need to be a programmer to understand an error log. :)

If you're still having problems at work, it's probably because of an outdated NetCF installation. Make sure to go to have 1.0 SP1, 2.0 SP1 and 3.0 SP1 installed with the latest hot fixes from Windows Update (e.g., all windows updates installed). This should take care of your issues anywhere...

Issue with Ervius package creator.

The program is not returning from the MSCEInfen.exe. It does not open the initflashfiles tab/window. Instead all I get is files created in the cab directory and the Packages Creator By Ervius!!! window not being updated/repainted.

Yes I am on C: and in a directory named the same as the cab. The executables are in the same directory. Have tried it otherwise too. No positive results. Have waited quite a while for the program to return - 10 minutes or more. It appears that the MSCEInfen program/process is not terminating or completing - is 10 minutes not long enough for the process to finish. I have to manually/task mgr end the process before rerunning.

If I run from a different directory with the cab there, it creates a directory structure with the cabs name & the cab & inf file inside with 3 sub-dirs, Application Data, Program Files, & Windows.

For some reason, I just discovered that terminating the process instead of the application brings up the initflashfiles tab - not sure why I would need to manually terminate the process.

I'm obviously missing something - but cannot figure out what. Any help/advice would be appreciated.
