This seems to be correct right ?

Can you please tell me does APP.DAT decide the position or REG ? and what if both exist.

Thanks.

Can an incomplete app.dat cause those errors ?

EDIT: i have identified 3 packages have incomlete app.dat

1) task manager

app.dat says :

reg also defines a location.

2) flip it

app.dat says

reg defines location and settings.

3) torch

app.dat says

reg defines settings only.

4) reg editor

app.dat says:

reg defines sttings and location.

Can anyone of the above cause the issue ?

can some please help me correct them ?

Thanks.

EDIT: can someone please tell me the REG to enable Call Waiting Tone.

I don't hear any tone it when i have a call waiting.
[Windows Mobile] af974:
The app.dat decide the position of file and folders.

I found thi " Flip-IT" from a Tom Codon thread and i used Cab Converter for extracting it.

This is the App.dat that i got:

In red are the subfolders that doesnt come with the original.

There are some difference with your but i dunno if this is the problem but worth try.
[Windows Mobile] madnish30:
Umm well i have defined those locations as to fit them lnk in the place i want in the start menu.. isn't that the way ?
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Im Quoting you from 1st post:

1) "The file 'programs' cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found.If the problem persists please try reinstalling or restoring this file."

2) "The file 'Tools' cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found.If the problem persists please try reinstalling or restoring this file."

you got this popup error automatically, no need to open any folder\file?

It seems that you put a wrong shortcut to files called "Tools and programs" in your StratUp folder.

Check some other App.dat
[Windows Mobile] madnish30:
i have checked all APP.DAT in the EXT can't find any which i cook and does not get cokked in the correct location ?

Umm and the two errors are seperate not in one only.

So i guess the conflict is there with 2 seperate folders "Tools" and "programs" respectively.

Ideally it should not conflict with tools, because i do have a tools folder in the start menu.. so everything should go there :/

any other help?
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Try to cook a rom without one of the latest apps that you have add and if the problem gone then you have find the issue,after that post here the responsable so we can look at it.
[Windows Mobile] madnish30:
I'll try and cook without the 5 EXT i identified with wrong app.dats ?

I have had this problem since long, but i din't bother much, so i really don't know whats the issue..

it has been there basically since i tweaked the start menu locations.

now i have to get rid of it cuz any ROM user won't like to just press ok and continue with the ROM.

I'll try.
[Windows Mobile] af974:
My suggestion is to try one by one but ofcourse this way you need to flash 5 times your phone.

Did you ,maybe,tweaked your Initflashfile.dat?
[Windows Mobile] madnish30:
No i don't play with initiaflash... because i don't know much about it..

I guess i will not cook anyone of them so that if its one of them i will just download fresh CABs for them and convert them into EXTs rather than flashing my phone 5 times..

Thanks alot.
[Windows Mobile] madnish30:
i tried cooking without those apps no luck :(

Same 2 errors hence those 2 apps are ok..

Attached my Initflashfile.dat if that helps.

Please help.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
You really need to look in your startup folder to see what is in there. That's the first thing to do. Then, look in the start menu and see if anything weird is going on. Particularly, look for corrupted files or folders. If there are any files that look like folders, that could be the issue.

You're initflashfiles.dat is effin' huge!! Learn to make a cab, or relocate apps to windows. You must be wasting a ton of storage space.
[Windows Mobile] madnish30:
thanks for the help Ted,

In the startup i see 2 folders

1) programs in which there is tools->system->Arkswitch.

2) tools -> system -> XDA_UC.

rest are the normal i guess.

Then in the startmenu it seems fine.

but one problem there i see in the start menu i see a system folder which is empty AFAIK i did not create and such path why is that there ?

I'm not good with initflashfiles.dat i don't know much about it.

Can you please link me to a thread where i can learn about it.

Also what do you mean by CABs ? does that mean using UC to install via CABs ?

And how can i reloacte apps to windows ?

can you give a little explaination please.

thanks alot for the help.

The app.dat for Arksswitch is

and the app.dat for XDA_UC is

Please help me correct the two in order to remove the warning.

Will try and cook without them to see if they cause they problem.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
I don't use xda_uc, but delete the sub-folders in startup and the problems go away.

App.dat copies files from windows to other places. In many cases, an app works fine in windows. You just need to fix paths (shortcuts, registry) so they point to windows. It's a complete waste to have two copies of all your files, especially when the ones in rom work perfectly fine. Personally, I don't even use app.dat's, except to create directories and to copy the important customization links into startup.

Edit: ok, so I'm looking at your initflashfiles.dat. One, there's something weird with your Manila twitter lines. Why does it appear twice? That's kind of a waste, and will slow down 1st boot. Also, you've got a dozen mui files in there. Just put in the one you need (0409 or whatever), and delete the rest. You've to two copies of a bunch of files that you don't use. Remove the lines you don't need from the app.dat.

As far as relocating apps, you've got 20 or so that would work fine in windows. For example, clean ram does not have to be in program files. Just leave the exe's in windows, and send 1 lang file to \windows\lang. The app will work fine. Do you really need 20 lang files for cleanram? Dude, that's a total waste.

Here's an easy one to fix: pocket rar. You've got two copies of it now on your device. Just get a shortcut for it to windows, and you're done. You stick rar.exe in a package, along with the shortcut, and send the shortcut to the start menu as normal. Speaking of which, it looks like you've got a syntax error there:

Get rid of the extra \.
[Windows Mobile] madnish30:
Thanks sir i got it, now i will impliment it.

Sir if you don't use app.dats then how do you chose which package shows up where in the start menu ?
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
I do pretty much everything with morscripts. I put all files and directories in zip files that are unzipped during customization, and all shortcuts are created by a script. This reduces the rom file count by hundreds (I have about 1800 rom files), and the zip files reduce the storage memory for files that have to be inserted elsewhere. There's also a restore script that resores files that change a lot and that aren't practical to cook in.

Anyway, were I you, I'd work on fixing all of your packages to make the rom more efficiently designed (instead of worrying about upgrading build numbers). I bet you could removed 500 files and clean up a crazy amount of memory (like 50 mb). It can be tricky moving an app to windows. Some apps have .ini files or similar settings files, and the app will crash or not load if the setting file is read-only, so you need to get the file into windows without having it read only (do it with an app.dat that copies or renames it to windows). Some apps have their settings in the same damn file name (like settings.txt), so you can't have them both in the same directory.

To relocate to windows, almost anything in the root program folder (like \program files\cleanram) can be moved straight to windows. Sub-folders generally just need to be moved to \windows. Typically, an exe looks for .dlls first in its own directory and second in \windows, so just about any dll can be moved to windows without issue. It will then usually look for the support files in the same directory that it's located in. The only apps I've had problems with are resco keyboard (the skin files seem to be hard coded to program files), and the latest Power Radio (2.4.0.2, or something like that). I had a bunch of power radio packages that worked fine in windows, but the latest wouldn't, so I just didn't do the upgrade.

It's usually easiest just to test things without cooking. In your case, you've already got everything in windows. Just click on exes and see what works and what doesn't. Some apps will need sub-folders relocated to windows, and it looks like your cab-to-ext package unfortunately renamed the rom files, so some files in the program folder will need to be copied to windows. Just do this for testing purposes, to see what works and what doesn't. I bet your rom is effin huge, and you could make it a lot leaner by cleaning your packages up. The cab-to-ext makers all more or less suck; it's better to do things manually (or with kheb 1.1).

Edit: you've got the tachan black theme in there twice, too. You really, really don't need those files copied elsewhere. I'm guessing there's a reg file with all the file locations (in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today). Fix it!!! All you need to do is do a 'replace all' and replace \\My Documents\\Themes\\tacchan23black with \\windows. Then delete that gawdawful app.dat file (both occurrences). That will remove 101 redundant files.
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Do you remember this from your 1st post?

Here is (marked in red) your System folder (empty) in startmenu.
[Windows Mobile] madnish30:
Thanks ted & af974.

i will try to do things you suggested.

But Ted, what does the attachment mscr do ?
[Windows Mobile] af974:
I attached and EXT package from Chucky's Rom thanks to birkoffsjunk, i guess you will understand what mscr does looking at it.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Those are all of the scripts that run during customization. Open them up with notepad and read a few. Mostly it's just unzipping, but there's one that cleans up a little junk (registry, shortcuts in startup...) and another that restores files.

Sorry this one is in dutch..

Heeft iemand voor mij de werkende APN instellingen voor mobiel internet bij Telfort ?

Ik heb alles al tig keer ingesteld maar het lijkt niet te werken.

Dat kan ook komen omdat ik een keer met de #*#*4636*#*# aan de slag ben geweest en toen iets heb ingesteld op GSM only...

Ik kan deze instelling ook gewoon zien in Draadloos en netwerken. Daar kan ik een Netwerkmodus kiezen. Kan iemand mij vertellen wat daar moet staan voor Telfort, want ik krijg t nu echt niet aan de praat......
[Desire General] ARKADIOS.NL:
Sorry guys... this 1 is in Dutch as well (this solution has particular settings for Dutch mobile network provider Telfort)

Ik weet niet of het nog steeds actueel is, maar ik post toch even mijn oplossing voor ongeveer zelfde probleem voor HTC Trophy 7. Misschien dat andere gebruikers hier wat aan hebben, want als je hier naar googled, kom je al redelijk snel hier terecht.

Ik heb hetzelfde probleem gehad, maar weten op te lossen door even te spelen met de instellingen van CELLULAR... hier is mijn oplossing voor HTC Trophy 7:

-ga naar Settings -> cellular en vergelijk de instellingen met de volgende***

- Active network = NL KPN - NL Telfort

- Data connection = ON

- Data roaming = ROAM (voorheen was het don't roam)

- APN Settings (Edit APN): (aangepast)

* APN = internet

* User name = username

* Password = password

- save settings / instellingen opslaan

- ga terug naar hoofdscherm

Als het goed is komt er nu 3G of een H naast het signaal sterkte te staan.

Bij mij stond roaming niet ingesteld en toen ik dat veranderde accepteerde de telefoon ook nieuwe APN instellingen en kreeg ik verbinding.

Ik zie "roaming driehoek" boven in het scherm ook als ik gewoon via Telfort in NL verbonden ben (ik weet nog steeds niet of het goed is, maar volgens komt het doordat Telfort zijn diensten aanbiedt via KPN netwerk en HTC dit als roaming ziet).

LET OP mensen: wees voorzichtig met ROAMing instelling, omdat je voor verbruik van internet (data) in het buitenland gewoon moet betalen en met deze instelling geef je jouw telefoon goedkeuring om dataconnectie te onderhouden op andere netwerken en dus ook in het buitenland.

***Bovenstaande instellingen gebruiken op eigen risico dus.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imiddlet:
it means the checksum that it does on the backed up info to verify the file is not corrupt, and hasnt been changed, doesnt match what was originally stored.

May have a corrupt backup. Do you Overclock your phone? if so, try undoing the overclock termporarily and see if it restores that way.. if so, you OC'd too much..

Otherwise, may be sol.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wsantiagow:
It all depends. If your MAC address changed, then you are royally screwed. And it does not take using Unrevoke to have this happen to you. Lately there has been a few of us that had this issue. Answer is "replacement phone".

Hopefully yours (MAC) never changed. Check it with the one behind the battery and use "Root Explorer" from the market and go to "Data", then, "Misc", finally you will see a tree.xml file in there. Thats your MAC. Good Luck.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Call_Me_Creep:
I had the same problem.

What you have to do is run Odin with the usb connected to the phone, then you unplug and plug the usb back in, hold the vol - and + with the power button at the same time, once the screen goes black, release the power button, but keep holding the vol - and + buttons and Odin will recognize your phone. then the phone will be at the downloading screen

That's how it worked for me.

Man I'm in the same boat. I tried the key combination many times before this. I was flashed bionix 1.2 w/OC and was using ROM Manager to revert back to my previous ROM which was stock and when it was done it rebooted and would stay stuck with the Samsung Vibrant screen. I ended upsing ADB to get it into download mode and the other modes but I tried to use ODIN to restore after it was in download mode and it just seemed stuck. How long does it take to usually load the kernel? Well it was taking so long so I just pulled the USB plug. After I did this I got that cellphone and computer icon. I've tried many times to get it into download mode or restore mode many times with the volume button and power button and haven't had any luck at all. I'll keep trying. I hope this really works.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pancake345:
