hiho,
i made an easy to use romcooking tool (i use it for moding my favorit roms )
its still alpha but if someone like to test it. ON YOUR OWN RISK !!!
because its written in C# and you can easyliy work with diffrent roms @ same time
just select an *nbf and this tool dumps it into a folder beside this file
i.e. no need for winhex(initflashfiles.dat) and default.rgu are save in the correct format automaticly
for simply add/remove files and/or regtweaks everthing is included
the scripts based on Molski's kitchen updated with bigstorage imagetools
the main app is the neokit.exe
have fun
inteks
you like it ? let me know ;-) --->>> DONATE
update version a087:
http://rapidshare.com/files/139239824/NeoKitSetup_A087RC4_.msi.html

Setup is fixed , you dont need to uninstall old vers of NeoKit before installing the new one (after this version!!)
update version a084:

the buid process is more automated now
the new build nbf file is copied together with RUU into "ROMDUMP\UpdateFiles"
G'Reloc is back
it has a setup now
a 'small' UC Config tool is included (path is fixed to \Storage Card\Cabs)
on the UC Config tab the files in "\Storage Card\Cabs" are listed (if you prophet is connected)
you can check which ones to install. sdconfig.txt is written directly to your storagecard.
you can also clear the autorun flag in registry and run checkautorun.exe directly to test your setup.
have fun
inteks
ps:
ist finally fixed that neokit can run from "long" pathnames. it can now run from i.e. "c:\program files\.... .....\neokit"
the setup will add the filetyp ".nbf" to registry. you can edit rom bei dubbleclick now ;-)
update version a070:
ok. beside some other fixes and optimations the most interesting new feature is the "comparer" button on the 'Files' tab!
you can select an other rom and neotab hides all files included in both roms!!!
in other words.
select a "reference" rom i.e. micro V3 as smallest but working rom and neokit hides all files that are "needed" !!!
you can edit/remove the files that are not really needed ;-)
update version a061:
Fileinfos(comments) are included in fulltextsearch now ;-)
update version a060:
1. i removed package import because it dont work as it should !! i dont dont why. . .
2. i fixed many bugs and put proper errorhandling in most functions.
update version a050:
biggest new feature is automated dumping and building of extension.rom
on the filestab you can select "remove" OR "moveto extRom"
if you move *.dll to extrom, then neokit ask you to include extRom in SystemPath! ;-)
update version a035:
added a treeview for packages
update version a034:
fixed a bug when option.xml is not unicode.
and i've added a ceipui.exe for WM6.1
if you remove this file you get an error messsage on boot. so i compiled a replacement that does absolutly nothing
update version a033:
added a fulltextsearch on the "files" tab ;-)
update version a032:
fixed some bugs when importing OEM Packs. pls copy the exefile into neokit folder.
update version a030:
add's OEM packeage import support
update version a021:
this is an hotfix only! pls replace the neokit.exe from version a020!!!
this version brings a big new feature ->
neokit creates a folder in its apppath called Fileinfo
on the filetab in the contextmenu you can "add comments" for everyfile
this comments saved as Filename+txt AND they are shown as tooltip AND they are on every dump you work on AND they are shareable !!!
I.E. -> if you know a file cant be removed because your neo dont boot without that file, add comment and share your comments here ;-)
update version a020:
new pic preview with thumbs
on the fly UPX compresion
removing with contextmenu now to prevent removing by mistake / removed items are red
screen -> http://m8z.de/screen.a020.PNG
update version a010:
ok. here is a new version with some really nize features ;-)
->winimage is included and there is a new button to edit extrom
->reshacker is included, on the fileTab in contextmenu you can open every file directly with reshacker !!!
if you edit resources with reshacker click "save" in reshacker then close reshacker.
neokit will "wait" till you exit reshacker and then it moves the *_original.* file to "ReshackerBackups" .
i also added "reversmode.exe" to edit the resources of "moduls" BUT NOT ALL DLL/EXE WORK AFTER CONVERSION MODUL->DLL->MODUL
if such a Modul not work try using the DLL file instead.
btw. its a multipart rar renamed to .zip
update version a006:
found and fixed this bug:
"Could not open input file '80040000-OS.nb'. Aborting."
it occurs on "long" filenames in path to nk.nbf. sorry for the circumstances
update version a005:
if you use an extendedRom you can put your tools into the extrom folder. on the initflashfiles tab click createstartmenuentry to create a linkfile to your tool
neokit reads the name of your "should be unlocked" extrom out of default.rgu ;-)
sample:
i put my neotab.exe in my extrom called "xFlash"
then neokit create a linkfile like 20#"\xFlash\neotab.exe" and an entry like Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("neotab","\Windows\neotab")
(you still have to build and translate the extension.nb for yourself !!!)
some bugfixes
update version a004:
runtimeerror on filestab fixed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=66063&d=1200406481
update version a003:
-"search" now search over default.rgu+user.rgu
-you can filter out packages in the filestab
-a new button to recreate packageinfos (if you copy the content of an OEM package to the dump dir)
-a contextmenu on filestab to edit i.e. bitmaps (it open the standart edit progy for that file)

you can manually add file to the dump directory BUT
since bigstorage is possible it doesnt make sense to ADD files then to REMOVE files !!!
everything in ROM cant be deinstalled later !!!!!!
i for myself do the following -> i remove files, flash, if it doesnt work i put them back and try again ;-)
Okay this looks brilliant.
I've got as far as dumping a rom, building it.
When I come to the nb2nbf dialog box I get stuck. I have no idea what values to enter in the boxes! Please help, thanks.
I saved this from another thread, if this is what you need:
ModelID - PM300
Lang - WWE
OEM v. - any
operator v. - any
CID- clear
StartAddres - 80040000
ImageName - OS

check File # 1: and browse to the newos.nb in the ROMDUMP dir
Image Name -> select OS
Start address is filled automaticly
then click translate
Thanks. If I don't include anything for the Extension rom, is that just wasted space on the device? Can I build a rom with no Extension?

i removed the wmplayer app in my rom, but i dont know for shure witch dll's needed for mp3 ringtones.
if you completly remove the package you loose mp3+wma ringtones.
i use korands 2.5 superclean as base rom and i removed sql mobile and wmplayer app and the kamera app (coolcamera works great and is only 52kb )
i am near 70mb on a G4 neo ;-)
i just want to make some minor adjustments in the korand 2.5 rom. it is already bigstorage.
is there anything i need to pay attention to?
and how can i modify/delete/add any registry key before i create the new rom?
cheers.
p. s.: found it.

Hi,
I try to rename Games&APPs to Games in AT&T official ROM. What I did is:
1. Edit \oem\operatorPKG\menu_operation.xml, changed all "Games&Apps" to "Games".
2. Edit GAMES_APPS_FODER.lnk in my Fuze, change its content from "Windows\FolderView.EXE #\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games & APPs\?\Windows\ATT_Link.dll,-158" to "Windows\FolderView.EXE #\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games\?\Windows\ATT_Link.dll,-158". and then I copy this file from device into \oem\operatorpkg\ to replace th old one and rename it to "GAMES_FODER.lnk".
3. Build new ROM and flash. No Games folder is created at all! I know I can change the folder name after flashing, but I would like to change in the ROM.
Can anyone figure out what is missing or wrong? Many thanks
The start directory is set in initflashfiles.dat, which is found in "OEM\Raphael\0409\OEM_Lang_0409". You need to edit it however you want it. There also may be provxml's that create the directory; the best place to look is in the "\SYS\28008\SHARED\COMMON\Entertainment" folder, or similar folders (0409 and others) where bubblebreaker and solitair are stored.
Thanks, Ted:
After carefully studied, finally it works. The problem is at file "menu_operation.xml". Directory "Games" created by initflashfiles.data, but then there is "delete" command in menu_operation.xml which deletes "Games" and creates "Games & Apps". I deleted those sentence and now everything came as desired. Thanks for you reply
Hey
How can I change the icons of Android, Apps etc?
Maybe i have to edit the .kdz-file / system.img-file?
Which programs do i need?
Thank u!
You have to edit the /res folder in the apk file.
Joost
extract the framework-res.apk file from your rom via root explorer then use this to extract the contains from the framework file and you can also use that tool to repack the framework file
APK Manager
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
Adb pull the app then with 7zip extract. Look in res/drawable-mdpi and you will see all images in the apk. Look for icon and replace.
Repack all files in a zip then rename zip to apk. Adb push the apk.
MARK
all you people require is:
1.Photoshop(Ps)
2.a flashable zip
3.root explorer on your phone
4.7-zip
1.whichever app icon you want to mod say the "video player",just copy it's apk from /system/app/<apk_name>.apk
and paste it to sdcard.
2.now transfer this apk to your pc and extract it using 7-zip
3.now look for the app icon the file name maybe in drawable-hdpi and drawable-sw320dp-hdpi under res.."video",or"homescreen_icon" or anything...
4.when you find it just right click on it and click properties under the details tab check it's dimension something like"84X84","42X42","50X48"
5.alright then you know the app icon dimension now
6.just browse through the net for the picture you want to replace and download it or if you have it then open it in Ps.Under the images tab check for image size and enter the dimensions as per the app icon size which you found out in the 4th step.
7.now save the image as <app_icon_name>.png on the desktop(make sure the name is proper)
8.open the apk with 7-zip
9.Now drag and drop this image from the desktop to the folder drawable-hdpi and drawable-sw320-hdpi
and click yes when the prompt appears and close 7-zip
10.open any flashable zip and don't touch anything except the system folder
11.open the system folder and keep only the app folder delete other folders in this app folder copy your "video.apk" and delete other apks if present.
12.now close the flashable zip and send it to your phone ext
_sdcard and flash it by mounting system...and you are done!!
13,hit thanks if you got it !!
I managed to salvage themes that were already downloaded - but wouldn't apply:
Connect phone to computer
Have a look in folder MyColorScreen\Themer\tmp-dl
There may be a load of zipped themes with 24 digit alphanumeric names.
Copy these to computer.
Unzip each to their own folder.
Within these folders will be a folder called data.themer
Rename this to '24 character name of folder'.zip
Copy this zip file to Phone [MyColorScreen\Themer\Exported\zip\]
You should now b able to apply theme from 'Exported'
I would then customize theme to suit, and re-export with more sensible-sounding name, rather than 24 alphanumeric.
If anyone knows where there is an archive of zip files - let us know!
