Here are some tips for saving some space / deleting links from Start Menu. All tips are working and tested on Qtek 8500 with the latest Cingular test ROM (4_1_.1.502.4). This ROM has ClearVue and some Cingular stuff. (Unfortunately you have only 8.45 - 8.50 MB left).... Now I have about 12.0 MB free...
Have you any other tips? Write it down. ;-)

I can't delete the files it says that memory might not be sufiecient or i may not have the permissions to delete them. How do I fix that?
What files are you unable to delete? Dont delete the files from inside the phone... Connect WM to the PC using ActiveSync, browse to the files you want to delete (you will only have to confirm deleting because the files are set read-only).
// You cant delete programs if they are running / open
Yes even then I can't delete. The files I am unable to delete are the ones in the /Windows and the /Program Files folders. It asks me to confirm whether i want to delete the read-only file..but yet after that I'm unable to delete them..it says memory is too low and/or i don't have the permissions to delete read only files, something like that.
No, the programs are not running..i cannot delete any of those files in the /Windows or the /Program Files folder.
I was unsucessful first time trying to delete these files (I have been using Resco Explorer). Maybe you have to delete the links to these files first and restart.
success
hi, i was successful in deleting all the files mentioned and making the changes necessary. It took the following steps:
Delete all you can
Reboot
Delete remaining
Reboot
Delete last few
Reboot
Check the deletions.
Also, what you might want to do is make your mail and internet explorer to save by default on your storage card.
My windows mobile live is refusing to work on this phone....any idea why? Or maybe if i could get a fresh copy of the mobile live. It somehow installs the mobile live, but doesn't uninstall the WM5 pocket msn and this might be the problemo.
would appreciate any help.
I managed to get them deleted, the test rom did not allow that. Had to upgrade to this current cingular rom to be able to remove everything.
should be a windows live messenger link here http://rapidshare.com/files/24689015/Windows_Live_for_Windows_Mobile.rar
The Internet explorer now supports Iframes with scrollbars and have Home Page... by default live search by MS.
(reg) Change IE homepage
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer ... change the value of home_0409 from file://\windows\about_0409.htm to http://www.google.com or any url/file you like
(reg) Java applications on Card
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tao\JMM ... change the value of DataPath from \Applicaton Data\Tao\intent to sometnig like \Storage Card\Java\Tao\intent AND (fil)(!!!) move the intent folder (containing rofs_target.zip) to the exact location on Storage Card

Thank you
Díkes, tohle jsem potřeboval
edit: there is no reason for deleting the stwater.. file, as it will be recreated the next time you reboot your phone, or change your wallpaper - the stwater is a kind of "image" of your wallpaper, in 2 different sizes
This is very useful
After each ROM install I come back here to delete unnecessary stuff.
Very useful in getting a few KB for more apps.

Hi
Is it possible to change the location of the folder to store temporary internet files? I'd like to store them on my storage card, can this be done?
rgds
Charles
Yes you can store your temp internet files on the Storage Card get a registry editor program and change the following keys
First, close Pocket Internet Explorer and move your "Temporary Internet Files\" folder and its subfolders from the "\Windows\" folder to the "\Storage Card\" folder.
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Content\
Change the "CachePath" value from "\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\" to "\Storage Card\Temporary Internet Files\".
Then browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Paths\
Change the "Directory" value from "\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\" to "\Storage Card\Temporary Internet Files\".
Browse to the Path1\, Path2\, Path3\ and Path4\ subkeys.
For each of them, replace "\Windows\" with "\Storage Card\" in the "CachePath" value, make sure you keep the ending of the string.

Cool, Thanks Jason

Anyone know how to change the default location of My Documents & Internet Explorer Favorites to the Storage Card?
Just trying to have everything saved to the Storage Card to make it easier between Rom changes. I've added \Storage Card\ to all the entries in the Registry that referred to My Documents and Favorites. I've tried looking around but nothing has worked.
Anyone have any ideas?
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/htc-hermes/12354-change-my-documents-location.html
Change the location of My Documents
Documents are opened in and saved to the device's internal storage by default. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\FileSyncPath = "\Storage Card\My Documents" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\FileSyncPath = "\My Documents" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

Try changing My Documents in HKLM\System\Explorer\Shell Folders to \Storage Card\My Documents. There are also other folders you can remap.

I did the following:
1. Create a subfolder called "My Documents" in your Storage Card folder.
2. Copy the contents of \My Documents to \Storage Card\My Documents
3. Delete \My Documents
4. Open a text editor and paste the following text into a new document: 33#"\Storage Card\My Documents"
5. Save this as "My Documents.lnk"
6. Copy this to the root of your WM6 device
There you go -- now you don't have to mess with your registry (unless you want to do more advanced stuff). NOTE: This may cause some programs to not work, so use with caution. For example, I noticed that if I changed my settings in Notes to save to Storage Card before this procedure it would no longer open. I think if I had left it as save to Main Memory it would automatically use the shortcut and store on the memory stick anyway.

Premise is that there are many backup utilities that will backup/restore either dirs or the whole ROM, but not just for a specific apps settings. There are many ways that dev could use to store their settings for a given app, but getting them all to do the same way is "difficult". However, if program A had it's settings in a settings.ini (or whatever name) and that specific file could be backed up and restored later after a hard reset or new ROM installed, it would make the flashing a ROM even easier since UC came out.
My idea is for an app that works sort of like AppToDate, in that it will parse a collection of ini files in a directory to determine what a given progam uses for it's configuation (files or reg keys) and will backup/restore them.
Basically all that someone needs to do is:
- Extract the UMCe2.zip to a folder on their Storage Card
- Register Mortscript (just click on it once, from this point on you can just click on a script and it will run.)
- Place the INI files that define the files or keys of the app that you'd like to backup/restore into the \Storage Card\UCMe2\ini folder. I have posted a small collection of some INI files as examples
- If you'd like startmenu shortcuts, I attached a few dummy.exe files that you can put into the UCMe2 folder so you can make shortcuts.
- Run the UCMe2_Backup and it will read every INI file in the ini folder and store the backup files in \Storage Card\UCMe2\Backup
- Run the UCMe2_Restore and it will read every INI file in the ini folder are restore the backups
I want the app do do a few things:
* to run start to finish unattended... start the program and it just runs, with no questions asked. (for scheduling purposes)
* the config ini for apps need to be simple to read/edit, so user community can post/share them, or be created by the original app devs
Feel free to create your own INI files and post them here for others to share
I have updated the scripts to include the SDConfigCE tool, to create a new SDConfig.txt based on the files that you have placed in the CABS subfolder.
Additionally, I have included XCopyCE support in the created SDConfig.txt file to copy files placed in the Files subfolder to the device.
(added test sdconfigce.zip to attempt to detect devices with internal storage vs. storage card and SHOULD manage other ROM languages)
Todo list:
add ProcKill and SuggestReboot options to ini file
-optional kill process before backup/restore
-optional suggest reboot after restore if suggested in ini file
add optional Disable parameter to ini file to "turn it off"
add section to backup/restore individual reg values (instead of entire subKey)
-[RegValues]
-Value1= root, subkey, value, data, type
Build in Restore script to run during UC to further automate UC
Provide bulk REG file import, over and above the scripted reg key values provided by INI files

How to make your own INI file:
The ini file is a very simple thing to make as it is basically just a text file with a few bracketed headers (sections) and values in them.
The easiest way to do so, is to place a copy of the template on your PC desktop and open it with notepad.
Then use the freeware tool CERegEditor ( http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/ ) to read your device's registry... MOST apps save their customization in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ (App Publisher) \ (App Name)
There are plenty of sample files to use as references. If you need help, I'm certain that someone in this community can help.

Format of ini file is:

AppName = Friendly name for future use
subdir = subfolder to store the files
Validate = condition to look for before restoring (either a filepath and name or reg key... Reg key must be formatted like ROOT,KEY)
[regkey]
filename1 = regkey to backup
filename2= other regkey
[Files]
destinationfilename1.ext = source filename with full path
destinationfilename2.ext = source filename with full path
Just create an ini file for each app to backup
**** Reserved for suggestions or requests
I'm thinking of adding a switch to the ini files as a block to prevent backing up certain apps...
It would be used to "install" an app that only needs file copy like an exe or shortcuts or similar... no sense of copying back those files for backup, as they would never change.
an entry in the ini like:
[UCMe2]
RestoreOnly = 1
Would it make a difference to anyone if I CREATED new app shortcuts, or just copied the old ones for backup/restore?
Another optional ini setting should be:
[UCMe2]
Validate = <fullpath\file> or Reg key
Which would only restore the backups of the appropriate reg key or path\file exists. No sense restoring data for an app if it isn't yet installed.
hmmm...
I've added a bit of a GUI to the backup process, just to see something while it runs. I'll get around to doing the same to the restore mode...
UCMe2.mscr
Code:
ScriptDir = SystemPath("ScriptPath")
IniFiles = ScriptDir \ '*.ini'
StatusType(ST_LIST)
StatusInfo("UCMe2 Backup", "Backup process running")
ForEach F in files (IniFiles)
AppName = IniRead(F,"UCMe2","appname")
SD = IniRead(F,"UCMe2","subdir")
RestoreOnly = IniRead(F,"UCMe2","RestoreOnly")
StatusShow()
StatusMessage( AppName, ST_LIST, TRUE )
If (RestoreOnly = False)
MkDir(ScriptDir \ SD)
ForEach K, V in iniKeys (F,"regkey")
RunWait(Scriptdir\"SKTools.exe","#REXP(" & V & ") #FNAME(" & ScriptDir \ SD \ K & ".reg)")
StatusMessageAppend( "." )
EndForEach
ForEach K, SettingsFile in iniKeys (F,"Files")
copy (SettingsFile, ScriptDir \ SD \ K ,TRUE)
StatusMessageAppend( "." )
EndForEach
StatusMessageAppend( "OK" )
ElseIF
StatusMessageAppend( " - Skipped by RestoreOnly value" )
EndIf
EndForEach
StatusMessage( "Backup Complete" )
WriteStatusHistory( Scriptdir \ "BackupLog.txt" )
StatusMessage( "Window closing in 5 seconds" )
Sleep( 5000 )
StatusType(ST_HIDDEN)
Updated the scripts a bit and made a GUI menu... but that has limited value, beyond my playing with MortScript
here is a template of the current ini entires, but most of them aren't necessary... see the examples I already have in the zip.
Code:
[UCMe2]
appname = (descriptive Name)
subdir = (subfolder name)
RestoreOnly = 0/1 (1 = do not back up this app)
Validate = <fullpath\file> or Regkey HKLM,Software\appname\key (NOTE the comma in the reg key)

I see where I should make a subdir to hold the INI files, and another to hold the backup folders... the prog dir is getting cluttered
I can see another mini app for this process... one to enable or disable individual ini files... (probably just move them to a different folder instead of deleting the ini file)
I don't think Mortscript has that kind of support for forms, so it might remain a manual process for a while. Lemme see how clever I can be
attached pics to post 1
there is a minor issue in the restore script... I have to re-think my logic for the validation determination, but I'll get that
I fixed the restore mode problem. as well are eliminated 2 unnecessary fields from the INI files.. the RestoreIfRegExists (or file)... now it just examines the content of the validate field... if it has a comma in it, it assumes it is a reg entry.
I still need to put in error handling, but I have to figure out how that all works in MortScript.
I also am considering having it backup/restore specific reg values, in addition to the whole key, but much of will be based on MortScript... it is lacking in reg features and I'm currently dependant on SKTools to do the reg functions... I'd much prefer to do it internally, but MS doesn't have a way of determining the regtype that it is reading, so I can't store that so I can restore it to the correct type.
fixed a simple issue of the reg export grabbing the level higher and exporting from there.
let me be the first one to reply the app looks nice, isent it nice that MortScript can be used in many ways?
This is great, I will be watching on this
that's funny how this is like a 2-page OP
but this is a fantastic idea and crazy useful if it comes to fruition. between this and UC or sashimi, flashing roms would have so little downtime..wow....
Based on XDA_UC (by Noonski). I used it in my ROMs and the idea is just great.
But there are some issues that I want to fix and also I have some new ideas.
So I started new project.
1. XDA_UC is based on MortScript, and I use C#. This affects only engine. You can use your mscr files for customization =)
2. XDA_UC runs in background, it's almost silent. I want to add feedback to show what's happening now.
Official Russian forum is here.
This application will install all cab files, reg tweaks, provxmls, run mscr scripts, copy files (and more) from given folder. Use it after you upgraded your ROM to restore everything.
Information for Chef's updated 2010/07/07
UC_NET new feature - Using variables updated 2010/07/02
UC_NET new feature - Portable commands updated 2010/07/07
UC_NET tutorial - HOWTO create shortcuts updated 2010/07/02
Requirements: NetCF 3.5
Main features:
portable, supports localization, uses OS functions (if possible, for example for installing provxml), predictable - you can control order of everything, error reporting, full customization log.
Quick start:
1. create folders on your storage card
Code:
XDA_UC
XDA_UC\Manual
XDA_UC\Copy2Root
XDA_UC\Run
XDA_UC\Execute
"XDA_UC" is a place for all .cab, .reg, .mscr, .cer files that should be automatically installed to device.
"Manual" is a place for all cab files you want install in usual "visible" mode with all questions.
"Copy2Root" is a place for all files and folders that should be automatically copied to device.
"Run" is a place for you self-extracting archives.
"Execute" is a place for you self-extracting archives if you want to continue customization while them working.
2. run UC_NET.exe, select your XDA_UC folder and press customize button.
XDA_UC_NET features:
1. It runs with any ROM that has NETCF 3.5. You don't need to install or cook it. Just take exe and run it.
2. It searches for XDA_UC folders on your storages and then you can choose what folder you want to use for customization. And you can even select any other folder as a root for customization.
3. How it works. When you select folder and press "Customize!" program uses this algorithm:
Install MSCRs
RunWaitFiles - run apps from the Run folder and from coomand files UC_NET_Run
RunNoWaitFiles - run apps from the Execute folder and from coomand files UC_NET_Execute
Install XMLs ("*.*xml" from XDA_UC)
Install CERTs ("*.cer" from XDA_UC)
Install CABs silent to device memory ("*.cab" from XDA_UC)
Install CABs manual ("*.cab" from XDA_UC\Manual)
Install REGs ("*.reg" from XDA_UC, uses FS_TaskMgr.exe)
Install RGUs ("*.rgu" and "*.cereg" from XDA_UC, uses FS_TaskMgr.exe)
Copy Directories (see UC_NET_CopyDirectories)
Copy Files (see UC_NET_CopyFiles)
Move Files (see UC_NET_MoveFiles)
Delete Files (see UC_NET_DeleteFiles)
Create Shortcuts (see UC_NET_CreateShortcuts)
Install PIB (restore you contacts, uses last pib file and PPCPimBackup.exe)
if portable mode is disabled in menu, at the end of customization program will read arguments from registry and do these actions:
XDAUC_CopyDirectories (XDA_UC DirCopy feature)
XDAUC_DeletFiles (XDA_UC Delete feature)
XDAUC_CopyFiles (XDA_UC FileCopy feature)
XDAUC_CreateShortcuts (XDA_UC AutoShortCut feature)
4. FS_TaskMgr.exe and PPCPimBackup.exe are used for some actions, program will search for these files in current folder, in \Windows and in the selected XDA_UC folder. Both files are included.
5. Program logs every step – you can see what is happening right now. Errors are shown separately – you can see if something wrong happened.
6. All files processed in strict alphabetical order. For example, if you want to install SlideIT.cab before DanishPack.cab, you can just change names: 1_SlideIT.cab, 2_DanishPack.cab.
7. Program will first search and use XDA_UC\1, XDA_UC\2, … XDA_UC\99 folders (1-99 in alphabetical order), before using base XDA_UC. For example, you want to install some reg files before installing cab files, and you want to install first.cab right after installing these reg files. How to do this?
Go to XDA_UC folder, create subfolder "1" and move these reg files to XDA_UC\1.
Go to XDA_UC folder, create subfolder "2" and move this first.cab to XDA_UC\2.
8. You can structurize your setup folders by using Groups. Programm will show you menu and let to choose what you want to install. Read more here.
Ready!
Release history.
NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab - install it and you will see detailed descriptions of errors (if any)
If you want to translate program to your language - please follow instruction in included UC_NET_Localization_SRC.zip.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562568
UC_NET extends XDA_UC
You can use variables in your commands
and it will work with any localization of windows.
for example, this key will delete UC_NET_FirstBoot.lnk from Startup folder.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\XDA\Delete]
"Environment.SpecialFolder.Startup\\UC_NET_FirstBoot.lnk"=""
IMPORTANT - UC_NET doesn't show GUI to user if started with command line.
I think this is the most confusing part of original XDA_UC - your ROM depends on something that user will do on first (second) boot.
Therefor I disabled GUI - If user wants to use customization he will start it from start menu, and of course in this case user will know what's up. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Another difference from original XDA_UC - UC_NET will not install all cab files from windows folder. I can add this feature, but I don't know why Chef will put cab files into his "perfect" ROM. The same with reg files - what kind of chef needs to import reg files AFTER the ROM is ready? =)
please, post your comments and requests!

UC_NET extends XDA_UC with portable commands:
UC_NET_Magic_CreateShortcuts
UC_NET_CopyDirectories
UC_NET_CopyFiles
UC_NET_MoveFiles
UC_NET_CreateShortcuts
UC_NET_Delete
UC_NET_Run
UC_NET_Execute
UC_NET_BackupReg
Just create text file (UTF8 and Unicode supported), fill this file with command arguments and put it to any XDA_UC folder (to root, or to root\1 and so on).
UC_NET_Magic_CreateShortcuts, creates shortcuts for all exe files in given folder and its subfolders.
base filename UC_NET_Magic_CreateShortcuts format:
create_shortcuts_here=folder_with_exe_files
create_shortcuts_here=folder_with_exe_files
...
base filename UC_NET_CopyDirectories format:
to=from
to=from
...
base filename UC_NET_CopyFiles format:
to=from
to=from
new in v0.9.3.1 - You can use "*" and "?" wildcards in UC_NET_CopyFiles, (if you are using mask, destination parameter should be a folder name, as you cannot copy several files to one file)
...
base filename UC_NET_MoveFiles - new command v0.9.3.1, works exactly like UC_NET_CopyFiles, but moves files. You can use it to rename files as well.
to=from
to=from
...
base filename UC_NET_CreateShortcuts format:
link="target"
link="target" params
...
base filename UC_NET_Delete format:
file_to_delete
file_to_delete
directory_to_delete
...
You can use "*" and "?" wildcards in UC_NET_Delete -
for example
Code:
StorageManager.Profiles.SDMemory\_test_del\*.txt
will delete all txt files in my folder _test_del on storage card.
base filename UC_NET_Run format: - new command v0.9.3.1
each line of such file is a path to your application (or script, or anything that can run). UC_NET will start program and wait until it finishes. You can pass parameters to your program. In this case Use quotes around path and then place a parameters.
for example:
"notepad.exe" my_text_file.txt
this will start notepad.exe and pass my_text_file.txt as parameter.
base filename UC_NET_Execute format: - new command v0.9.3.1
works exactly like UC_NET_Run, but doesn't wait for complete and continue with next customization step.
UC_NET_BackupReg - new command v0.9.4.0, uses FS_TaskMgr.exe /regxpkey feature.
format for this command is
filepath=[regkey]
filepath2=[regkey2]
...
See attached examples. Tell me if it's not clear how to use this feature.
You can have more than one file with parameters - just add something to base filename. For example UC_NET_CreateShortcuts1.Settings.Advanced will be parsed as well as UC_NET_CreateShortcuts.txt
HOWTO create shortcuts
A shortcut is a small file containing the name of a target program file that the shortcut represents. The shortcut might additionally specify parameters to be passed to the target program when it is run. Shortcuts are very commonly placed on Start Menu.
option 1: UC_NET_Magic_CreateShortcuts protable command
use UC_NET to create shortcuts for all programs in given folder
Before you read remaining part of this tutorial you need to know
-the name of a folder with target programs (should be real folder you have on your device)
-name of folder for your new shortcuts (any name you like)
now download UC_NET_v0.5_portable_commands_example.zip from the first post and open UC_NET_Magic_CreateShortcuts.txt file.
There is a line in this file. It is a command, that will be processed by UC_NET when you press "Customize".
Code:
Environment.SpecialFolder.Programs\My Util=StorageManager.Profiles.SDMemory\MyPortableUtils
Format is:
<destination folder>=<source folder with target programs>
You can find '=' character and everything before it is a destination folder
Code:
Environment.SpecialFolder.Programs\My Util
Environment.SpecialFolder.Programs - is a variable, that points to the place where all Start Menu shortcuts are stored.
"My Util" - is a name for new folder under start menu where all new shortcuts created by this command will be stored.
For example, if you want create shortcuts for GPS utilities you can change this part to
Code:
Environment.SpecialFolder.Programs\GPS
everything after '=' character is folder with target programs
Code:
StorageManager.Profiles.SDMemory\MyPortableUtils
Replace this string with your path - folder with target programs, and you ready.
For example, if your GPS utilities are here
\Storage Card\util\gps you should change this part to
Code:
\Storage Card\util\gps
Save your file and put it in your XDA_UC folder.
Start UC_NET, choose this folder and perss [Customize!]
option 2: UC_NET_CreateShortcuts protable command
control and tune every shortcut for every program you want
Before you read remaining part of this tutorial you need to know
-the name of a target program file (should be real program you have on your device)
-name of your new shortcut (any name you like)
now download UC_NET_v0.5_portable_commands_example.zip from the first post and open UC_NET_CreateShortcuts1.txt file.
There are two lines in this file. Each line is a command, that will be processed by UC_NET when you press "Customize".
The second line shows an example how to create shortcut with parameters, it's a bit tricky and for now delete this second line. You can return to it later, when you understand simple shortcut creation.
Let take first line:
Code:
Environment.SpecialFolder.Programs\Test Portable.lnk="\Storage Card\_new_distrib\portable\LiteNote\LiteNote.exe"
format is
<shortcut name>="<target program file>"
You can find '=' character and everything before it is a shortcut name
Code:
Environment.SpecialFolder.Programs\Test Portable.lnk
Environment.SpecialFolder.Programs - is a variable, that points to the place where all Start Menu shortcuts are stored.
"Test Portable" is a name for my new shortcut - when I open Start menu I want to see this name. You can change it as you wish.
".lnk" - is a file extension, do not change it.
For example, if you want create shortcut for chess game you can change this part to
Code:
Environment.SpecialFolder.Programs\Chess.lnk
everything after '=' character is target program file
Code:
"\Storage Card\_new_distrib\portable\LiteNote\LiteNote.exe"
Replace this string with your target program file path and you ready.
Do not remove quotes.
For example, if your chess gameis here
\Storage Card\games\chess\chess.exe you should change this part to
Code:
"\Storage Card\games\chess\chess.exe"
Do this for all your shortcuts. (copy this line and edit it)
Save your file and put it in your XDA_UC folder.
Start UC_NET, choose this folder and perss [Customize!]
option 3: XDA_UC registry command AutoShortCut
UC_NET can read XDA_UC registry commands, you can use them as well.
These commands are not portable, and you should uncheck "Portable" option in menu or use command line switches. example:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\XDA\AutoShortCut]
"Environment.SpecialFolder.Programs\\GPS\\SeaSGEE.lnk"="\\Windows\\SeaSGEE.exe"
read more about this type of commands in XDA_UC thread.
And you can make these commands more portable if you use variables - replace \Storage Card with StorageManager.Profiles.SDMemory, this will work even if Storage Card has different name in new ROM.
How to create shortcut with parameters?
MSDN says
Place quotes around the target path so that SHCreateShortcut can correctly parse the target file from any following arguments.

Click to collapse
example - creating shortcut to enable FileDialogChanger:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\XDA\AutoShortCut]

Hello...
...i am a german cook and im cooking ROMs for my Blackstoen (HD) ...
I love XDA_UC and i try your new version...
thanks for aour work !!!!!
Looks great, gonna try it out in my roms
Thanks!
This is nice If you could get away from using the FDCSoft task manager to import .reg files it would be perfect!
Idea looks great.
The only thing I'm missing here is;
*Quick lauch icons on the 3 home screens
-Would like to backup these icons in the exact order and every app should be installed, so each quick launch icon should referr to that perticular app.
After every install of any new energy ROM it is so much work to order and fill in the 3 home screens quick launch icons and apps
Kind Regards

ROM: Energy Dinik style 22nd June
Radio: 2.10.50.28_2
HSPL: 2.08 HSPL
History
[2010/11/02] UC_NET v 0.9.4.4
new command "Refresh Today screen" is added. Just create an empty file UC_NET_RefreshToday.txt in your folder, and the program will refresh today screen.
This command is executed after all other things in the folder, as a last step.
the program will show the message about cprog.exe if you run PPCPimBackup.exe, using UC_NET_Run command. It works exactly like it works when you are restoring pib file.
UC_NET_BackupReg is improved - the program now checks if registry keys exist, and doesn't create empty files if key doesn't exist.
UC_NET_Delete, UC_NET_Copy and UC_NET_Move are improved - all of them support masks now, and all these commands work with files and directories.
for example, now you can delete all files and directories in a folder with one UC_NET_Delete command, if you give it \myFolder\* as a parameter.
if you need a command that works only with files, add "Files" to its name (for example, UC_NET_CopyFiles)
if you need a command that works only with directories, add "Directories" to its name (for example, UC_NET_DeleteDirectories)
small bugfixes
Code:
[2010/10/22] UC_NET v 0.9.4.3
[LIST]
[*] Now the program uses safe code to control power during customization.
This version of UC_NET doesn't use registry keys related to power and back light to prevent device from sleep during customization.
Previous version, like original XDA_UC, used registry to keep back light "always on" - it's unsafe, because if your device was reset before the end of customization, these registry keys were not restored.
[*] Polish localization is updated (thanks to Bysio)
[*] UC_NET current version is added to log file.
[*] Sense SDK message boxes were replaced with standart message boxes to make program more stable (because there are no bugfixes for Sense SDK)
[/LIST]

[LIST]
[*] new localizations were added:
Chinese (Simplified),zh-Hans
Polish, pl
Spanish, es-ES
[*] [Cancel] is added to the list of groups.
[*] [Pause] and [Resume] were added to customization window. You can use this to tell program you want to pause before next step of customization.
[*] New commandline parameter /base="path to your folder" - use it if you want to select any of your folders when UC_NET starts.
[*] "Create shortcut" is added to the main menu - use it to create shortcut in Start Menu, that will launch UC_NET and automatically select current folder.
[*] new variables:
"ShellFolders.Windows" - value of HKLM\System\Explorer\Shell Folders\Windows

[*] UC_NET_BackupReg - - new command, uses FS_TaskMgr.exe /regxpkey feature.
format for this command is
filepath=[regkey]
filepath2=[regkey2]
...
[*] system variables are now supported for Copy2Root folder.
see attached UC_NET_v0.9.4.0_test.zip
for example everithing from Copy2Root\Environment.SpecialFolder.StartMenu
will be copied to \Windows\Start Menu if you run 0409 localization of Windows Mobile.

[*] program now uses last pib file, this allows you to keep several backups in the same folder and only the latest will be restored with PIMBackup.
[*] empty groups are hidden in the group list, especially root folder
[*] "*" and "?" masks are supported for UC_NET_CopyFiles command (if you are using mask, destination parameter should be a folder name, as you cannot copy several files to one file)
[*] same command files in a folder are processed in strict alphabetical order, (for ex. UC_NET_CopyFiles_0 comes first, then UC_NET_CopyFiles_8)
[*] UC_NET_MoveFiles - new command, works exactly like UC_NET_CopyFiles, but moves files. You can use it to rename files as well.
[*] UC_NET_Run - new command, each line of such file is a path to your application (or script, or anything that can run). UC_NET will start program and wait until it finishes. You can pass parameters to your program. In this case Use quotes around path and then place a parameters.
for example:
"notepad.exe" my_text_file.txt
this will start notepad.exe and pass my_text_file.txt as parameter.
[*] UC_NET_Execute - new command, works exactly like UC_NET_Run, but doesn't wait for complete and continue with next customization step.
[*] Run - special folder (like Copy2Root). You can create Run folder and place your your application (or script, or anything that can run) in this folder. UC_NET will try to execute everything from Run folder. It's good for self extracting archives for example.
UC_NET will wait for every program before it will start next (like UC_NET_Run command).
[*] Execute - special folder, works exactly like Run, but doesn't wait.
[*] Current version of Fr and De localizations are included.

internal engine improvement - UC_NET detects ROM files in copy and replace operations.
[2010/06/29] UC_NET v0.4 new features
NEW - portable commands. Now you can put files with commands in your XDA_UC folders. I suggest to use this in-place of XDA_UC registry commands.
New - portable mode (active by default, see menu). "Portable" means no commands from registry will be used. This is good for users. UC_NET will just process selected folder and do not recreate shortcuts defined by Chef and so on. Tell me how do you like this new feature.
pim.vol copy to root is supported.
internal engine feature - delete locked files on next reboot.
[2010/06/26] UC_NET v0.3 new features

/CopyDirectories- copies all directories (including all files and subfolders) listed under
HKLM\Software\XDA\DirCopy
/CopyFiles- copies all single files listed under
HKLM\Software\XDA\FileCopy
/Delete- deletes all files listed under
HKLM\Software\XDA\Delete
loacalization support - no more hardcoded strings like \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\, that depends on ROM locale. Use Environment.SpecialFolder Enumeration
for example, this key will delete UC_NET_FirstBoot.lnk from Startup folder.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\XDA\Delete]
"Environment.SpecialFolder.Startup\\UC_NET_FirstBoot.lnk"=""
Package for Chefs is released - tested it in my own ROM
[2010/06/25] UC_NET v0.2 new features

UC_NET uses FDCSoft task manager in silent mode. It's almost invisible =)
Anyway, now I finished with most features, and will implement registry files parser. (It's strange, but there is no such thing in WinAPI).
Tried it today and it works perfect! Thanks for sharing! (You got the date wrong in v0.4 change log)
Where can I put folders and files to have automatically copied over. In SASHIMI, you put them in the Auto/Root folder
For example:
\Storage Card\SASHIMI\Auto\Root\Program Files
The folder and all it's sub-folders and contents would be copied to \Program Files
I tried naming a folder within the XDA_UC folder CopytoRoot and DirCopy and neither worked. What do I need to do?
name it Copy2Root
not CopyToRoot
I have an idea for next v0.5:
I see it's not very clear how to create shortcuts with XDA_UC.
Imagine this - you can create shortcuts for all *.exe files in folder (and its subfolders). Just
1. create text file named like UC_NET_Magic_CreateShortcuts.txt in your XDA_UC folder
2. add parameters to it
destination folder=source folder
destination folder 2=source folder 2
and so on.
for example if I add
Code:
Environment.SpecialFolder.Programs\My Utils=\Storage Card\MyPortableUtils
UC_NET will create folder My Utils in Start Menu and then it will create shortcuts for all programs from \Storage Card\MyPortableUtils in this folder.
What do you think? =)
[2010/07/02] UC_NET v0.5 new features
new portable command UC_NET_Magic_CreateShortcuts. example.
new variables for SDCards names
rgu files supported (as reg files)
you can open last log from menu now.
internal engine improvement - UC_NET detects ROM files in copy and replace operations.
Hi. I'd like to use yout app on my Omnia2 with Rapid's Sense 6.5, but there are some issues.
All I did was:
Copy the cabs in an XDA_UC named dir placed in my "install" folder on Storage Card.
Uncompressed the app, started the exe.
Selected the XDA_UC dir.
Pressed customize.
Then it installed MortScript.cab, and none of the others. Instead it says: [13:09:19][13:09:20][\Storage Card\install\XDA_UC][Install CABs silent][ERROR]\Storage Card\install\XDA_UC\cabname.CAB, Exception:wceload.exe returns -2147024891
for all of the cabs I want to install(cabname is always different ofc). Could you help me please?
wceload.exe returns -2147024891, "access denied", on you ROM.
Try this - install one of your cabs manually.
If installing cab by tapping on it, would normally display a security
warning for not being signed, then wceload.exe will fail in silent mode.
In this case you need to relax your ROM security.
This is in the Requirements of original XDA_UC:
"The Rom should have the security relaxed in HKLM\Security\Policies\Polices by setting the value 0000101a to a 1.
So unsigned installations and Mortscript do not give a security error."
Try to add this to your registry.

I see, thanks. There is a registry app in which I can disable security. I'll do that.
Thanks agai and keep up the good work!
This is pretty awesome. Lightweight alternative to SASHIMI. It works great!
i have create the folder '\Storage Card\XDA_UC'
now, i dont know how to do with the following instructions.
can someone guide me with this?
maesus said:
XDA_UC installation tips are generally similar as listed here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3611692
I made some modifications so that the sequence of the installation will be like this:
My.tsk file from "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
and if not present Cook.tsk from Windows Folder.
import *wifi*.*xml and *mail*.*xml provisional registry settings for WiFi and Email setup.
Copy Over User Files.
Check for "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root" if present, Disable Manila from Homescreen then Copy files from "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root" to the root of the device, Then checking for existence of wallpaper_TF3D.png or wallpaper_TF3D.jpg in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows" and adding that to
[HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeBackgroundPath"="\\Windows\\wallpaper_TF3D.jp g"
Import registry files from "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows\manila.reg" If present
Re-enable Manila on Homescreen and redraw it. Now also works for the Sense 2.1 and up versions.
.xdas files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
Silently run Legacy SDConfig.txt from Storage Card
(If your using RunCC.exe or Autorun you do not need to point to or use SDAutorun.exe or SDConfig.txt) Thanks to RoryB
Commands for SDConfig.txt can be found here....
.cab files in "\Storage Card\autoinstall"
This makes it compatible with your storage card's setup for Tom's Autoinstall.
.cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
.cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Storage", These cab files will be tempted to install to Storage Location. Not recommend using this method. Please use Manual instead.
.cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Manual",These cab files will start with Full User interaction capabilities to choose where to install to.
.reg files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
.xml files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
.mscr files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
.cer files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
Create Shortcuts and more from Registry Keys
More information here....
Copy over welcomehead.192.01.png & welcomehead.192.02.png present in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows" to the Windows folder.
Copy over welcomehead.96.01.png & welcomehead.96.02.png present in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows" to the Windows folder.
Actually everything is copied over from Copy2Root folder to root, but the above Splashcreens get their file atributes removed before this happens.
Add native support for .mscr, .mortrun, .xda, xdai, xdas & .xdaz files
Well, I hope this is good enough to explain everything. Good luck with setting up your XDA_UC!

It's for Energy customized rom, but it will help you understand how xda_uc works.
Just a few tips:
-You can put all the .cab files of programs you want to install in XDA_UC folder, as well as all the .reg files
- Create the folder Copy2Root inside XDA_UC folder. Inside Copy2Root folder, put all the files and folders you want to be copied to their respective places in the phone memory. Use the same path that the original files have, including folders.
For instance, inside Copy2Root I have the folder "Windows" and inside "Windows" I have the folder "Rings" with all the sounds I want to restore at each hard reset.
Another example: if you want to copy something to the root of you phone's memory, just put the file in the Copy2Root folder. If you want to copy a file to the Windows folder, create the folder Windows in Copy2Root folder and inside it put the file you want to copy.
thanks for reply

- Create the folder Copy2Root inside XDA_UC folder. Inside Copy2Root folder, put all the files and folders you want to be copied to their respective places in the phone memory. Use the same path that the original files have, including folders.
For instance, inside Copy2Root I have the folder "Windows" and inside "Windows" I have the folder "Rings" with all the sounds I want to restore at each hard reset.
Another example: if you want to copy something to the root of you phone's memory, just put the file in the Copy2Root folder. If you want to copy a file to the Windows folder, create the folder Windows in Copy2Root folder and inside it put the file you want to copy.

then no need to use these software?
* DoeDoe's SDConfig.txt creator.
* .reg -> xml conversion tool
* XML Notepad 2007
* CeRegEditor (can find registry changes)
* DaveShaw's Folder Copy utility
* Registry capture Logger
and, is that i need to locate those reg file from where the application folder in the device then straight away copy them to XDA_UC folder?
Stick with the basics, for now.
Here's what I do: I customize the phone to my needs in every option needed. Then, I grab a registry editor, and search for the entries that correspond to the changes I've made.
Once I find them, I export that registry key to the XDA_UC folder as a .reg file. Then I repeat for all the entries that matter to me.
When hard resetting, XDA_UC will enter those registry files into the wm registry to activate your options.
So, in teory, you will only need a registry editor.
ok...
i will try
thanks again..
