Hello,

Yesterday I tried XDA_UC_NET for the first time (Blackstone, kwbr 4.1.1 ROM). I have to admit that it an extremely usefull tool for users who like to flash new ROMs often.

Cab installation is working like a charm. Shortcut creation and Copying files also works perfect.

My next effort will be to try and move all of my settings (backlight settings, alarm sounds, regional settings etc). I guess that I will have to back up (and restore afterwards) certain parts of the Registry.

My question is: How can I identify which parts of the registry I have to backup?

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schmeichler:
I'm using kheb - working perfectly...

Actually I think these two should team up ;) or someone could write an extra prog to convert diff's from kheb to finished UC_NET 'packages' like:

- show changed reg-values and select which ones to save in a .reg

- show changed files and select which to export (including paths) to one \copy2root folder

as this is what I am doing manually atm...

Myself I am using programs installed to storage card and restoring extra files created on system and shortcuts - the only disadvantage I can see is those not showing in 'remove programms' (can live with that easy).

I have also started a German translation ... posting here will hopefully get me to finish it up :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gretarson:
I did know that...I'm gonna give it a try. Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
UC_NET (XDA_UC as well) changes these settings during install:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts]
"BattSuspendTimeout"
"ACSuspendTimeout"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight]
"BatteryTimeout"
"ACTimeout"
"Brightness"
"ACBrightness"

At the end program searches for BackLight.reg file in base XDA_UC folder.

If there is no such file program restores previous values.

So, if you want to restore your own values you need to save them as BackLight.reg in your XDA_UC folder (or you can create empty BackLight.reg =)

german resources

Here is my translation to German - surely not perfect but can be used as base.

I would for sure change some of these if I see it running..

And btw - thanks for this ;)

Have you tried kheb? It stores as many diff's as you like (perhaps not getting your question there).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
you can test German translation.

Extract De-de folder in the program folder.

Tell me if it's OK.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benzouzou3:
This a translation for French, maybe that should not exactly

but i do what could i do.

thx for your apps

im going to tested it now.

Are anywhere a post, for have the essential registry key ????

name

delivery receipt,

tones for sms..

*edit : deleting this bad files
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kurniawan77:
i'm having issues with some cab files on uc_net_firstboot. Cab files like galarm that ask customization on the end of installation.... the problem is they don't show up... is there a solution to this issue?

ps: do you mind if i cook this in my rom to release..?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vgunmanga:
For G-Alarm you can install it to the storage card and just restore the settings in the Registry to make it work again.

Just backup this key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ageye\G-Alarm]

And these:

"\Windows\StartUp\G-Alarm Reload.lnk"

"\Application Data\ageye" -folder

It saves time installing the cab (which takes forever) and there are no issues with choosing language,etc.

From the Kheb thread:

Very much looking forward to having this done automagically.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kurniawan77:
Great idea!! For personal. But i can't tell my users to do this... well i can but they also have other cab's then galarm... not so user friendly then...:)

Nevermind... i'l do chefcust instead... and let them press customize... cause then i can see the last part of the cab install...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schmeichler:
I'm installing a bunch of stuff on storage and only restoring shortcuts and registry-entries after flash - especially G-Alarm I have some extra files on system-storage though:

\Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher\G-Alarm.bmg

\Application Data\AppToDate\galarm.xml

\Application Data\AppToDate\galarm.ico

\Application Data\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarmToday_v2.dll

\Application Data\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarmWakeup.exe

\Application Data\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarmReload.exe

\Windows\2a2edd2725.dll

\Windows\System\i78i539525.dll

\Windows\Startmen\Programme\G-Alarm.lnk

\Windows\AutoStart\G-Alarm Reload.lnk

These showed up directly after installing so I assumed they are Ageye-files.

Also I'm importing registry including registration and set up alarms - I really do love this....

Did not get around to test German translation today though...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vgunmanga:
You're probably right on, I cook it in so I guess those files must be in my "Mega Misc file EXT"... .life before

Kheb

LOL

I'll be sure to update my G-Alarm EXT with those files. Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
Thank you for this first French translation, but it is very important to edit and save file as UTF-8.

You have uploaded ANSI version. Maybe it works on your computer, but on any other computer, with different regional settings it doesn't work.

For example I see something like

<value>{0} n'a pas []t[] trouv[](s), impossible de {1}.</value>

in your file...

You can download good editor Notepad++ here

Hope it will be easy to fix =)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schmeichler:
de-DE

Well - final test will have to wait until next ROM flash I guess... but for now it looks ok

If you could give String_OnOff_Portable_On/Off some extra space for a second line would be nice (screenie). Thought about shortening this but it should stay as it is and there is more space left...

I would probably change some even on main page but I guess a test of translation will at least require a log being created
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
thank you!

can I change "Portable mode" text to

XDA_UC Portable-Modus
Registry-Befehle ausführen

What do you think?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benzouzou3:
I saved it in utf8 now.

test it please.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schmeichler:
Actually that was also my first thought - but it might be misunderstood as 'do not do anything with registry' e.g. don't process .reg's

How about this option only being visible if such reg-keys are present in the first place (when cooked in ROM) or even go further only have it visible if keys available and delete those keys once processed (no one needs these a second time right?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
I cannot do this - user can have reg file, that will add these values to the registry during customization.

For example this can be used to create shortcuts with original XDA_UC.

So - it's better to change text label =)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schmeichler:
So - we are missunderstanding each other here... or I did not get it at all.

I thought turning off portable-mode would result in processing extra special registry-entries already there. So only if chef put them in the ROM for processing.

For me this is not interesting at all - I use portable mode only -> no special registry-entries to process -> no need to turn off portable mode -> no need to see this option

If I were to use an ROM which uses UC and has some of these keys these would only have to be processed once, on first UC-run right? -> delete the keys afert run -> no more need to turn off portable mode -> no need to see this option

OR

make a chef/to-cook-version and a standalone ;)

OR

Clear me up on this... although I can't imagine why I would manually enter registry-strings for UC to process

thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
It's very simple - I cannot remove this feature, because program needs it to be compartible with original XDA_UC.

This feature is used by chefs and by users in their XDA_UC folders.

That's it =)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schmeichler:
ok - get it (sorry, actually did read your post#95 with enough attention)

still I think it could confuse users trying this for the first time and not reading first 6 posts ;)

How about:

Befehle aus Registry (nicht) verarbeiten | (don't) process commands from registry

should this fit...

or - leave out the registry part - he who knows XDA_UC commands will know what is meant :D

XDA_UC Befehle (nicht) verarbeiten | (don't) process XDA_UC commands

or could this again be missunderstood?

To make it short - before we get started on changing single labels - let me get a hand on a logfile I can read with German language.

Perhaps if you have any tests running you could use the file and send me a log? As I am not very keen on forcing errors just to see how they come out ;)

My next flash will be either next Artemis (no ETA yet) or next 'screw-up' (not planning any experiments atm)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
File is saved in UTF8 now but I still cannot read it.

Can you please open original file in UTF8 and edit it again.

It looks like it's not enough to save wrong file in UTF8.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NYLimited:
VERY NICE program - thank you! I can't wait till you figure out how to install .cabs to SD card without Sashimi! :D

I am sure it is here someplace and I missed it... where do you save the log files?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Not a big deal but I am curious. The CEREGEDITOR program saves REGEDIT4 files with the extension of ".cereg". Do you by chance look for these also? No problem renaming them - I was just curious.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
log is saved to the folder selected as XDA_UC folder.

can you please upload an example of ".cereg".

if it's just a reg file I will add this extension.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NYLimited:
That is pretty funny! I was doing some test runs and looked at the log in the program quickly. When finished I deleted the entire folder structure I was testing from. No wonder I could not find the log! :o

Here you go. Two files in the zip. I can send you more if you'd like. As I said not a big problem either way but I like CERegEditor since I can work it right from the PC over the USB connection. Thanks for looking!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Manual not working?

I am doing something wrong but am not sure what it is, sorry.

I created the following structure on my storage card:

UC_NET_TEST (folder)
MANUAL (folder)
1 (folder)
sprite.cab (cab file)
3 (folder)
sprite.reg (reg file)
Backlight.reg (reg file)

I run the program and select the UC_NET_TEST folder. Tried it with both, portable mode on and off. The program runs but does not install either the .cab or the .reg from the \manual folder. The log shows:

Can you give me a hint what I am doing wrong? :o

==> Added later........

For some reason unknown to me it definitely is NOT processing the manual folder anywhere.

I flashed a new ROM tonight and ran UC_NET afterward (not as part of the flash). Processed everything except the manual folder!? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benzouzou3:
this is a new RessourcesFR, edited with the formant utf-8.

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
It's easy. "Manual" is a special folder - Program gets list of cab files from this folder and install them in usual mode one by one.

Program doesn't search for reg files in "Manual".

Program doesn't search for 1, 2, ... folders in "Manual".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Ahh, I see! No regs either? Hmm.. OK, I can work around tht, thank you. I only use it to install cabs to SD and the current Opera 10 which, at the end of installation asks if I want to make it the default browser. If you ever come up with a way to install to SD directly I will have only one cab for manual! :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] freelucos:
Hello

How to save the configuration of email accounts, wireless connections and other parameters of the HD2 in REG, XML or CEREG files before using the software UC_NET.exe for the first time.

Thank you for the reply.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schmeichler:
search for provisioning-xml / makisu - these are processed by XDA_UC_NET
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NYLimited:
I am not sure you can save the email info but you can enter it once and save it for ever. You can download the program

OEMizer v1.3.9

which will let you fill in the various fields required for setup and generate an .xml file for you.

Alternately, I posted

more details here

explaining how to do it by hand, step by step.

Either of the .xml files or the created .cab file can be processed automatically by UC_NET.

As for other parameters - that becomes a little more complicated. You can save most of the registry info if you know where it is stored. I would suggest you grab a copy of

CeRegEditor

which lets you access the mobile's registry from your PC. A slow and tough way is to save a copy of the entire registry to your PC, make a change to some software's settings and have CeRegEditor find the differences. Once you find where that is you located at least part of the keys stored by that particular app and you can use the program's export feature to save the keys.

Be careful with GUIDs! You should generate new ones whenever you can. Duplicating one can have undesirable results, to say the least.

There are a lot of other tools you can play with and try but this should give you a start.

Good luck!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schmeichler:
recommending kheb again - does exactly this without the hassle (snapshot -> make a change -> snapshot+diff -> gives you a .reg with only the changed entries)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Indeed! I started reading the thread recently but have not had the time yet to play with it! Definitely sounds like a good idea. :o

On another note, do you or anyone else know if UC_NET can delete a folder structure from the SD card? For example, if I have:

FOLDER1
FODLER2
FILE1
FILE2
FOLDER3
FILE3
FILE4

I would like to automatically remove everything from within FOLDER1 but keep FOLDER1 (empty). Anyone know if this is possible?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
There is no such command in current version.

But it's possible to do using UC_NET_DeleteFiles to delete your folder, and UC_NET_CopyDirectories to create this empty folder.

create UC_NET_DeleteFiles.txt file with this contents:

FOLDER1

if you need empty folder

create UC_NET_CopyDirectories.txt file with this contents:

FOLDER1=mkdir

if you want copy some files to this folder or create shortcuts there, you can skip folder creation, as it will be created automatically.

make sure UC_NET_DeleteFiles.txt is processed before other commands. Use 1, 2 ... folders if needed.

For the next version I want to add some kind of scripting... Because single commands works well only for simple tasks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tomate2K8:
Hi, you can find in attachment the French translation. I done my best but I don't really now your application yet, so I hope it will be OK. I'll correct it later when i'll use it.

Rgds
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Excellent, thank you! I saw UC_NET_DeleteFiles but I did not think it would remove the folder also. Recreating it is not a problem - this should work well. Thanks much!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Sorry to drive you crazy with this - it seems to have worked... :confused: But, it gave me an error. I created a folder called "testfolder" in the root of the SD card. Placed a couple of small files in it. Ran UC_NET and got the following:

14:11:59][14:11:59][\Storage Card\UC_TEST\1\][Delete Files][ERROR]1 file(s) in queue, Exception:FAILED to delete 1 file(s)
[14:11:59][14:11:59][\Storage Card\UC_TEST\1\][Delete Files][ERROR]Delete file \Storage Card\testfolder, Exception:NullReferenceException
[14:11:59][\Storage Card\UC_TEST\1\][Delete Files][OK]RegKey.Delete, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\XDA\DeleteNextBoot\\Storage Card\testfolder, Result:does not exist.
[14:12:00][\Storage Card\UC_TEST\][Install REGs]1 file(s) in queue
[14:12:00][14:12:00][\Storage Card\UC_TEST\][Install REGs][OK]\Storage Card\UC_TEST\backlight.reg

So, despite the fact that it shows an error the folder disappeared from the SD card. Is that what it is supposed to do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
I tested it again, deleted a huge folder with many files and didn't get this error.

I use latest version v0.9.2.1.

if you upload your file with delete command and sample folder, that gives you error, I will try to help you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NYLimited:
I just checked to confirm - I have the save version cooked into my ROM. As for my folder structure - I created the following on my SD Card:

Storage Card
Testfolder
file1.txt
folder2
file3.txt
file4.txt
folder3
file5.txt
file6.txt

Those are the actual names. No attributes other than archive were set. My file is attached. Anyway, as I said, it worked - the folder and all content was removed but it recorded the error in the log. Not a major issue but thank you for your help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
Thank you!

I compiled both. Use fr or fr-FR. It would be great if someone make one common translation.

both are attached as well as new german translation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
I am just trying to set up the program on my device to try it out, and ran in following problems:

1. I cannot create the subfolders inside XDA_UC. The error message pops up that no backlash (\) is allowed in the folder name.

2. When i ran the program after a new flash, the cabs installed and then it somehow looped and started again with the cab installation.

Would appreciate some help to get this working, thanks a lot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
I think the best way to use this program is to filnd QuickStart_XDA_UC_advanced_template.zip in the _help folder of your downloaded

UC_NET_v0.9.2.1.zip.

Then extract contents of this QuickStart_XDA_UC_advanced_template.zip to your storage card. This will give you XDA_UC folder with several groups in it.

Just add your cab files and you are ready!

I think you tried to create folder with name "XDA_UC\Manual"?

Just open your XDA_UC and create new folder Manual inside XDA_UC.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
That is what i did

No i tried to create the subfolders XDA_UC\1 etc

Edit: Or maybe is the meaning to create folder 1, 2, 3 etc inside XDA_UC?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] serfer222:
Yes. Simple 1, 2...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Ok..thanks a lot
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benzouzou3:
The translation of ressourcefr, is more good than mine .

i think you could take this translation for your app...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimi_c:
This app is awesome!!! I use it in dutty's, almost got it working pefect!!!

I haven't got the file copy to work yet, will try again on my next flash ;)

Just 3 questions:

When I get the file copy working, will it overwrite file in a dir (i.e. update for my tomtom, you have to replace 2 files)?

I scanned te reg looking for the save mail attachments to storagecard key but cant find it any one here knows?

Is it possible to make .provxml for your windows live/ messegner settings so it auto sets those aswell? If anyone has it would you care to show your settings file?

Tthanks for you time!!!!

Jim
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Yes, it does. I overwrite a number of files in Windows with this process after a flash. :)

You can find a number of attachment related settings in the registry at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox

however, it may not be a good idea to try and automatically insert them since they tend to use dynamically created folder names:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Attachments]
"Moving"=dword:00000000
"AttsDir"="Inbox.mst30096752.475087408"
"BottomDir"="Mail Attachments"
"MiddleDir"="Connections"
"TopDir"="Program Files"

Note the "AttsDir" entry above - not sure how you would create that on the fly unless you always used the same folder (which may or may not be a good thing).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Megolk:
can anybody help,

i have create a folder "UC_NET_CopyDirectories" in this folder is a txt-file "S2U2.txt" and a folder "S2U2" with files and subfolder.

in the txt-file is this code:

\Programme\S2U2\=\XDA_UC\UC_NET_CopyDirectories\S2U2

i would like copy all files and files in and incl. subfolders from "S2U2" to the programdirectory in the supfolder "S2U2"

is this the right way

Edit: i solved with support from a user with:

XDA_UC\COPY2ROOT\PROGRAMME\S2U2\
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimi_c:
Hey thanks for the reply, for some reason I still cant get the files copied... keep getting some IO error I wanted to post here but cant find my log :(

I have this file structure:

storagecard\XDA_UC\2\Copy2root\tomtom navigator.exe
I want to copy to device\programmabestanden\navigator\tomtom navigator.exe

No matter wat variation of "to=from" I use I cant get it to work... I used all kind of settings. I started with the ones from the template in the zipfile...

After that I tried a difrent setting for each of my 5 files to copy but non worked...

I flashed dutty's v8 6 times last evening to get it to work but no succes..

I hope that some one will point in the right direction.

But still loving the program, it has taken me from over an hour of putting back all my customizations to 15 minutes!!!!!

I only need to figure out 3 more things besides the file copy issue:

1 is there a way to provxml your windows live?

2 how to auto hide the sim contacts from showing,

3 is there a way to backup my carkit BT settings (reg or provxml).

Thanks for reading my long ass story ;)
