Installation Snapshot - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a program that can produce a snapshot of changes before and after a CAB installation so that i i can import registry settings and files after i reload a ROM?
Currently i have to manually change all my activesync settings every time i reload so that i can access my exchange server and i want to be able to automate this.
Cheers,
Tim

default profiles when i install zenphone

Hi Zendrui!
is it possible to import config-files if they are in the cab file?
i hav now set my perfect settings and have often to change device from MDAII to MDAIII or others. so i put the exported config files in the install CAB File.
is there any possibility to import them automatically??
merry christmas and a happy new year to all!!
After your device is setup just right simply export the following Registry hive :
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today
I believe all PZP settings are stored there. On your restored machine simply import the registry after all the cab installs are done.
Hope this helps. Regards

Installing and using PHMRegEdit

Is there a good Samaritan out there who can explain to me exactly how the program is installed and how does one go about editing the Registry of the TyTN. I have bought Nokia HS-12W BT stereo phones and have added in Sleuth's anti-skip modification. All works well except that I do not get stereo. I must modify the Registry according to Sleuth's working model, and need to do the Registry mods.
Please help!
I am sure there are other newbie's who are also keen to learn new tricks.
Which problem are you exactly having? Just install the cab file, run the program and browse the registry to the place you want to modify, add or delete a key. Tap on the key or screen to do this.
You have to copy the cab file to your Hermes first. When I install cabs, I either send them to myself as email attachments or I use activesync explorer mode. Alternatively, if you can find the site using Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE) then you can download the cab directly. Once the cab is on your Hermes, then tap to install.
There is an alternative way to install apps on WM and that's with a windows based installer. If the file isn't a cab, then you'll need to connect up your hermes with its USB cable, wait for activesync to connect then run the installer on your PC. The installer itself will send the cab file over for immediate installation.
If you're familiar with the Windows registry you'll have no problems understanding the WM registry. When you change a value, make sure you power off with the power button to reset & make the change active, otherwise your registry setting might not "stick". Some registry values take effect immediately but I always power cycle after making a change just to be sure.
Installing PHMRegEdit
Hi
Could you please attache the CAB file.
I have load the file and the file is PHMRegEdit.msi
Thanks
I was wondering "which" .cab to copy over for the AT&T Tilt 8925. I did try the Stngr_ARM and it did install. However, I can not expand the registery top folders or export the registery.
Thank you in advance
OK, figured it out.
regedit.Mrln_ARM
did the trick

WinCE CAB Manager is definitely what you want.

Not only merge all of your CABs into one, but also put your personal XML, registry, files, shortcuts, etc. in that CAB to customize your phone, save your time on entering serial numbers, if you know where your programs storing their SN.

Provxml and/or cab help

Hey guys, I'm trying to write a cab/regedit/provxml file that I can incorporate into a rom which will automatically populate a field by pulling a value from a different place in the registry, or from EPST.
The value I need to pull is the phone number/mdn of the device to populate the X-"carrier"-MDN field for MMS composer.
Anyone know how I'd go about doing this?
There is no way that I know of using provxml since I doubt it supports variables. You may need to either write a mortscript or create an exe that can be run as part of an autorun. You can see dcd_UCAutorun in dcd's 2.3.1 kitchen.
If anyone knows of WM system variables containing phone numbers that would work.
One way that I know of that might work is to export that KEY and then use the import during customization, that way the key gets put in after everything else loads.... I'll have to try that tomorrow..... Just curious why older versions didn't have this issue???

Divining application registrations

Hey guys:
Quick question. I've got a bunch of apps registered on my phone. Every time I flash a new ROM I need to reenter all of those serial numbers. I was looking at the UC customization threads to see if maybe I could just create a provisioning XML to create the appropriate registry entries automatically. Problem is don't think all the apps store their registration information in the registry.
So a couple questions:
1. I've found a good way to see registry changes (and thus figure out which keys I need to update), but I can't find the equivalent for the file system. Is there a tool that can take a snapshot of the file system on the phone, and then show diffs of the current file system with that snapshot? (That way I could figure out the additional files I'd need to copy over to make apps think they're registered.)
2. Is there another mechanism, other than registry and file system, that apps use to set themselves as registered? I couldn't think of anything... but then I'm hardly a hacker. (Even though... and correct me if I'm wrong... this is not technically hacking -- the serials are valid, I just don't want to reenter 10 of them every time I flash)
3. (And this probably belongs more in the UC thread): for some reason my provisionining file has no effect whatsoever. I've verified syntactical correctness of the file, and that cabarc can successfully create a CAB out of it. I've verified that the file is "installed" during the customization step. Yet, after a reset I see none of the changes specified in the provisionining xml. Any idea how I can debug this? Is there a log file that the config program leaves somewhere?
Thanks!
