Hi,
I'm now upgrading for those Roms who dont have any keyboard installed ( I have 16 keys niki), so I can install it from the .cab that DubinBJK provides. So, while that keyboard have the backspace issue, i wondering if anyone can make (or have) the .cab of the keyboard with the old EzInput (v 1.0 I think). Is the same that is in the Tom Godon Rom.
Appreciate you help,
TM

Can you help me please? I have done search but really cant find.
I found it.
It's from Niki (20keys). it works (i have tested it)
If you wanna use it on 16key version, you need to change keymapping files (Just put it to windows folder)

Yes, I want to use on 16 key version, you say I need to change the keymapping files putting it on windows folder? But if a .cab it's to install, how do I do that?
Install it, and put keymapping files to windows folder
P.S. Actually i have extracted this cab by SkTools and puted all files (except keymaping) to windows folder.
I you want, i can extract it for you

The problem is, I really dont know which one are the keymapping files...
So, if you can help me I really appreciate
keymapping files is several .txt files
They contains keymapping info
Just replace it by files from original rom
Have you checked the cab in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342351?

Both cab's were tested in Lilly 1.3 Mannila2D NO KEYBOARD.
Can anyone make (or share if you have it already) a new cab for the second (no need of moving .txt files and import registry file)?

I'm rather new to these kind of devices so please excuse the ignorance.
I have an XDA Atom Exec, I upgraded to WM6 with this site successfully.
I also would like to install HTC Home and Customizer as I like the big clock and icons, however I can't seem to find instructions on how to install them. I tried using the search function but nothing came up.
Can someone explain it to me please? Thank you.
Have you downloaded the cab files for HTC HOME and CUSTOMISER , if so just go copy them to your phone and then navigate from the file explorer of the phone to where you have pasted , and run (tap) Hope this helps.......
If you have not downloaded them ....find Ironeagles thread on this forum , to find the links
Or you can download the cab from http://www.pocketemu.com/download8.html

Hi, thank you for trying to help.
I think the problem is that I can't run the "setup". It opens in Internet explorer just like on my PC, I downloaded another copy from Carty's site and the same thing happens. Do I need a special program to open the setup XML file?
Thanks again..

Well after downloading the zip file to my PC, I unzipped it in a created folder.
Sync'd my atom exec with the PC.
Opened File Explorer from ActiveSync, opened Program files on Atom Exec and just moved created folder with unzipped file into Atom.
After opened the created file from within the device and click "setup" with the stylus.
It opens up Internet Explorer and I can only view it as a document of some sort.
Hope that makes sense
No mate , you dont have to ZIP it (you are actually zipping the cab file which runs directly on the ppc , copy the .cab file without zipping it to your PC and then run ..)
This is what you do wrong

if you will list the contents of your zip file, that would be helpful. we don't normally copy files to program files for installation.
Thank you everyone... the problem was exactly what udayrulz was describing. I merely had to just move the file over to the device and click it, instead of unzipping, create a folder etc.
Thanks again, this plugin is much easier on the eyes!
No Problem , glad it worked out
I have a pretty basic question. All of the cab's I've turned into packages for a kitchen, should all of the files be simply dumped into /windows? It just seems like it would turn it into a major cluster..... If I'm correct we just use initflashfiles.txt to tell the Kitchen where to put the files?
Such as:
Directory("\HTCHome"):-File("HH_WEATHER_19small.png","HH_WEATHER_19small.png")
Would that be correct?
Then to call a program, put a copy of the lnk pointing to the executeable in Games, Windows, Programs, or whereever we want it?
Thanks,
Dravor

i believe initflashfiles just copies, so windows would be as clutterred either way. i prefer to make the application look to /windows rather than another folder, then only 1 copy of the files is needed.
hopefully someone here can correct me if im wrong..

Ok that's fine. At least that makes sense, and backs up what I've seen working with initflashfiles. I'm somewhat suprised Microsoft has not put out a workaround for this.

Thank you very much Gulum. Unfortunately, I don't know how to install it. May God bless you with all the best and great.
these are all .rar's. When extracted onto the PC there are loads of files in it. I tried renaming the extension to .cab but no luck =( what do I do?

If they are an OEM pack, you'll need to cook it in.
Are they actually Rar files, or is your RAR program recognizing them as RAR when the extension is .cab? Try copying them to your device, and opening them in file explorer.
Is there a way I can turn a PPC setup.exe into a .cab file?
Is there any software out there for the WM6 that you can put a bunch of cab files in a folder and it will auto install them all…so I don’t have to do them one by one?
visual studio 2005 & 2008 have a cab maker tool included. It does not require the source files to be created with studio...
Copy
Setup applications that run on your desktop PC simply copy the appropriate cab file to your device. You can extract the cab from the exe. You can also run the exe on your computer, and during the install process the cab will be transfered to another folder on your computer before transferring to your PPC. It is usually in Program Files/Microsoft Activesync/*App folder*, but sometimes it varies. Search your PC for .cab files and you should be able to find it.
There are programs like TAutoInstall (or something like that), SDAutoRun, and maybe one or two others that will run a series of cab files at first boot. You can probably find some discussion of Tautoinstall on PPCGeeks (edit: or try here). Search for threads by Tiermann. It might do what you're looking for.
WinCE Cab Manager is a powerful cab creation tool as well. You might be able to package multiple cabs within a single cab using it. Not sure, never tried. Good luck.
I have been using the activesync method of getting the cab and it works great.

So if i dont have my phone hooked up, and i a run exe file, it will create a cab file and place it "Program Files/Microsoft Activesync/*App folder* " and then i just have to go to that folder and copy the cab file?

No, once you install the executable to your phone (using .exe) the first time, it will drop the cab in the "Program Files/Microsoft Activesync/*App folder*" for future use.
I used to use Tools-add/remove programs within activesync to reinstall these programs that were only .exe, but I learned recently that you could go into the folder above after first install and get the cabs that activesync extracts to accomplish this add/remove feature.

Do a search on your computer for .cab files.

You should look into Sashimi... it's pretty cool you can just drop the cab files in a directory and it auto installs all of 'em... also has the ability to execute EXEs, REG files, Copy files to root of device, run MortScripts, and xml files too... all part of an automated process.. you click go after a hard reset and it is on its way!
Another nice thing I like about it vs the sdconfig autoinstallers is there is really no maintenance to scripts/etc once you update your software.. all you do is manage the files in a directory structure which is as easy as copy and paste of the cab/etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392983
I have searched for the .cab and cant find anywhere that Windows Mobile Device Manger puts them
You can also try extracting the cabs directly from the exe. Use a program like WinRAR to open the exe. There will often be multiple cabs for various WM versions (ie 2003, WM5, WM6, etc), and they are usually not named very desciptively, so a little trial and error will probably be necessary.
WinRar seems to extract the exe's and give me the cabs....THANKS ALOT

Extracting the EXE's to get the cab's
Not all executables are self-extracting executables. This will only work with self-extracting executables.
If you can't extract your executable with Winrar, the only other option is to run it with your phone unplugged from Activesync, then find the cab on your PC. Again, with this method, not all executables work that way. I have found a couple that I simply COULD NOT produce a cab from.

I've generally found that I can do this with pretty much any setup executable, although I use 7-Zip instead of WinRAR (it's free and fantastic).
As for the Sashimi recommendation, I can't agree enough. The program is pure awesomeness.
Universal extractor i guess is the way to go. extracts all files (cabs) from any .exe or .msi or anything else

Hi All,
with all of the kitchens found here, it is noticeable that when adding any packages to the OEM/SYS folders (i.e S2U2) then trying to re-build the rom specially in the process of BuildOS we got many errors that file already exist and then crashes.
after many research i got to know that the package will extract the files in windows folder for all packages on time then while installation, the files will be copied to the proper folders.
here is the problem, once trying to re-build the rom all files will be copied in the same folder.
is there a way to avoid this?
Hi robekia1,
Even I am facing the same problem when rebuilding os.
we will keep waiting for the seniors here to deliver a solution for us.
thanks to whom will help in this regard
I also faced this problem while cooking ROMs, Hey krazy! help please.
I guess, if we could know the file structure from the folder structue before installing, then it would be easy.
hmmmmmmmm, it seems that this problem have no solution as (Finding emulator for cooked ROM)
done the same and working

Hey I have done the same previously I love the s2u2 applications so I have cooked my rom with all 3 apps of s2u2 i.e. S2U2, S2P, S2V.
I created packages from package builder, then copied all files to one folder.
removing duplicates with latest one.
Also I changed the initflash file for the locations which is created by the package creator with the new folders path.
Then also I added the all item tag in XML to detect DSM files of the respective apps.
Make sure you have registry hack for installing third party apps in your ROM packages.
Enjoy... you will get all your S2U2 apps in your ROM.
Right now I dont have the folder I will upload it tomorrow if anyone wants.
Hope this information is useful to you all.....
Please Dooooooo

What you mean by registry hack? it sounds something new for me.
do you mean any registry editor? or it is another OEM Package should be installed along with the ROM?
robekia1 right, all file will be in windows folder, if you put it in the "program files" folder, the files exist in windows folder too, that is will be wasto your phone storage. Avoid put in the program files folder will be increase your phone memory.
Usually the default directory of the CAB file is in the progam file, and if you use OEM creator to that CAB, it will copied to Program file folder and exist in windows folder, to make only in windows folderyou can use this method:
1. edit the initflashdat result of OEM creator, delete all value of program file, or
2. Before you use OEM creator, edit the installation directory of CAB file, use wincab manager to do it, or
3. use wincab manager to extarct the files in the CAB, and registry, after that you can make .rgu, dsm, shortcut, manually and input the shortcut location in the initflash.dat file (I always use this method).
Usually every CAB file have different files with other, and if the have same file it can be same with the SYS file or the author/maker of the CAb is same. you can choose the latest version of that file if it happend.
While cooking even though we separate files inside different packages, but at the time when imgfs.bin is created, all the files go to \Windows folder. Thats why there cant be two files with same name even when they are in different packages.
Now some apps have common dependencies. Like the DirectShow and mHubVO dlls are needed by Youtube, as well as streaming media. Now what happens is, if you take two packages for these, sometimes the author puts the dependency files in both the packages so that if someone uses one package and not the other, it still works. This mostly happens packages that are made by converting a cab to a package. So if you cook these packages, you need to make sure that they are not putting duplicate files.
The same thing also happens with also happens with registry settings. Somtimes, two or more packages update the same regisrty keys in their .rgu files. SO we need to take care of those too and remove the lines that dont apply to the version of files we are actually using in our kitchen. This is a necessary evil and thats why cooking is not a child's play.
Once a ROM is flashed, and phone boots for the first time, the initialization process takes place. Now the ROM cooks have two ways to initialize their packages : using the .provxml files, this works if you have newer OEM* folders like from Elfin or Opal, it basically requires the Autoshortcut.exe file as well as newer HTCUtil.dll. The other way is the older initflashfiles.txt files inside the packages.
The difference between two methods is that using initflashfile.txt you can only copy files and create folders on the file system, but provxml can be used to perform many different things like registry values, applying themes etc.
So using one of the methods you copy your files to appropriate locations. Do remember that this process if done wildly can decrease the availabel free phone memory noticeably. Thats why we sometimes go a bit furthur and do some programming stuff to minimize this. You people sometimes dont even notice what is happening behind the scene.
I tell you one such experience. Google maps is a package that copies all its files to \Program Files\GoogleMaps but i noticed if i dont copy the files by deleting the initflashfiles.txt, and run GoogleMaps.exe from \Windows, it runs just fine. This works in pro user's rom but in Manila ROMs, the Maps tab of Manila looks for GoogleMaps.exe in Program files folder. So i had a choice to either copy googlemaps.exe into program files folder and waste 2 MB of phone memory or loose the functionality of maps tab of manila.
What i did was the third way i thought of myself. I created a .NET application called GoogleMapsStub.exe and what it does is it runs the googlemaps.exe from windows folder and passes all the information to it that manilla passed to it while running it. This exe is copied into the \program files\GoogleMaps folder by using initflashfiles.txt as GoogleMaps.exe. So now manilla is happy that it has googlemaps.exe in its proper place and i am happy too coz the new exe is only 3.5 kb in size You can verify this in v3.1.1 of VanillaManila rom. Look in the program files folder you will get the 4 kb googlemaps.exe, put it on your pc and check its version in its properties, you will get my name there And if you check the windows folder, there will be a googlemaps.exe of 2 MB size and a GoogleMapsStub.exe of 4 kb size.
So sometimes hacks like these are necessary in order to make a perfect roms. ROM cooking is just like food cooking, It may appears to be like just putting the ingredients into a cooker and light up the gas stove and wait for the food to cook. But if you try that for first time, your food will not be eatable for sure It requires a careful balance of salt, pepper and other things to cook a tasty dish I hope i have made myself clear
Wonderful
