i got a locked hd2 WM 6.5 thats never been modded. i found a taskbar theme that i want to install. how do i install it this taskbar?
How do i also install a custom dialer pad?
Tweaks and mods usually come as a cab - this is a self extracting installation file which you copy to your phone, double click, restart, done.
There is a protection built into the system, especially for the taskbar, you need to install a certification file first - as seen in this thread.

hi, tictac0566. i downloaded the certificate .cab and its on my sd card. but where do i open it on my phone?
It depends, of course, where you stored the cab. Maybe search it with the file explorer, double tap on it, there you go.

certification file is required for few applications which are protected otherwise they won't work. This will not affect the battery life but make sure you install appropriate taskbar as per your ROM build, i.e. 6.5 or 6.5.X. otherwise you may have to hard reset your phone.

sdkcert .cab will work but make sure you download the taskbar for 6.5 only, if you download it for 6.5.X then it will not work and you have to hardreset. Given below are few taskbar threads,

Just a little info -I discovered at the weekend. I have been playing with the wm5 1.60a for a while and in orfder to save space in the storage i have installed a lot of programs on the extended_rom partition. I renamed this via the registry. Don't do this !as it really screws things up. You end up with two extended rom plabels in explorer and you can not rename them back. I have had to reinstall wm5 1.60a
I dont see any problem installing program in Extended ROM. All you have to make sure is you have to rename the Extended ROM BEFORE you install anything.
If you rename it AFTER then surely you are going to be screwed. Because the program installed in the extended ROM is registered in the registry as whatever name the extended ROM when the program are installed.
Can you please be more specific with your problem. If not I think your post is "misleading".
True
In summary you are correct. I should have renamed Extended_rom before installing programs to it.
However when you reset the machine the operating system creates a new folder called extended rom and puts the renamed extended rom data and programs in it.
The original renamed folder with the memory chip icon is also present in the directory view so the data appears twice.
odd to say the least
I dont have the problem that you described.
When I install WM5 v 1.60a. I immediately rename it to "STORAGE" then install program in it. I have been using version 1.60 for more than a week now and I have countless Soft Reset even Hard Reset(Persistent memory right?) and no double folder and anything.
Just follow my advice and rename it at the beginning. I am sure you wont have the problem.
Hi,
This has most likely been covered but can someone tell me how do I rename storage areas. I have WM2005 1.60a Rom Thanks to Buzz.... and I as defalt run out of storage memory really quick and my program memory is massive, I am really sorry if this has been cover so even if you could point me to where it is discussed.

For Atom / Atom Pure / Atom Exec: Use WinImage Version 8.1 or similar program to edit IMG file. There are many programs that can do it.
Do not touch folders found in this image file. Programs that depend on these folders are: FM Radio, AutoConfig, WirelessManager, Camera, Equalizer, Album (life), ImageEditor (life)
The version of the Extended Rom is taken from the text file:
061020_AL1ARCWWE_EX0604.txt
The name is picked up versionCPAapplet.cpl (found in Settings->System Info)
So far, I did not encounter any problems changing the version numbers
The default folder name for this partition on your device is \_QHiddenPartition\ However, when we unlock this hidden partition at device runtime, we can not use the same folder name to install programs and lock it afterwards.
Normally, I used this partition to place the cabs I want to install at hard reset. This is no longer a problem with the cooked ATOM/ATOM EXEC ROMs we made because, serialzs introduced MortScript to do the automatic installation of cabs found in \_QHiddenPartition\ and \cabs\ folder found in storage card.
It is not necessary, however, to unlock the hidden partition just to edit the contents at device runtime. You can always use Total Commander to browse this partion by keying \_QHiddenPartition\ on the location bar.
For ATOM LIFE users, you can simply remove the 12-byte header of IMG file, and WinImage 8.1 can be used to edit the file. You need to restore the 12-byte header prior to flashing your device again.
tj your are very kind ^^;
Last time i ask.you say search.
i use search but still confuse cause alot of topic.
but now you posted this info.
THANKS YOU

How to remove or add programs being install in order??? I found that del *.cab to remove the programs and copy *.cab to auto install the programs from extended rom. But i don't know the file where listed the programs is able install in the extended rom at hard reset. In the past,when i cooked BA rom, i remember that i can edit the file include the paths of the cabs I want to auto install at flash rom or hard reset.

The script runs through all cabs present in the the two locations stated above. You don't have to edit any list like you do for AutoRun in BA. Also, AutoRun does not work with cab installation that require user interaction. Now, as for your question regarding the order they go - it's alphabetical.
Hi jiggs!!
You awesome! I have added my operator in autoconfig list, all work fine, now I have all settings for my operator!

Open the file with an HEX-editor, cut the first 12 bytes and save the file. That's all.
You can use "XVI32". This Hex-editor is included in the original Scooter-ROMkitchen.
Hi all,
I use remotePROTECT as a security measure on my Atom - I find the program great.
It will be even better if I place it in extROM (hidden partition) so that it will install again upon hard reset.
I've followed the instructions that come with the software - they require me to place the program's CAB file in the extROM along with the setupE file.
I tried that - did a hard reset and nothing happened - didn't install.
I have an O2 Atom with an official ROM release installed.
Is there anything else I need to do? I note there is an Autoinst.dat file in the hidden partition, but it's encrypted or gibberish so I can't do much with it.
If I've overlooked anything can someone please suggest what I can do to make this do what I want - install itself again after hard reset.
Thanks in advance.

If you have read the first post carefully, then you will understand that this won't work because the built-in AutoInstall of the official ROM restricts to signed CABs only as defined by list with no known format as of this date. That's why we have cooked ROMs to bypass this and created another AutoInstall script. There are work arounds for your purpose but definitely this solution is not for you. You have to do some research on this forum.

you need to secure this from your operator.
although you can edit the xml files with notepad, I don't know if the GUID found there is important. you can also generate your own GUID to have a unique value.
select the existing xml that best fit your requirements and edit it. you can't edit the cabs found in the networks because they are signed. you need to provision your own cabs. it's more like provisioning certificates using cabs.

You must simply type \_QHiddenPartition in Total Commander to switch to Extended ROM.
Btw: It's described in the Atom Wiki. You should read it.

For AtomLife ExtRom.img.
Anyone was successful to flash editted ExtRom.img of AtomLife with DSUU? If possible, could you please show me few experience to Update ExtRom via DSUU.
Ex: Remove 12bytes header/edit(add or remove anything can do)/restore 12bytes header. Then replace new ExtRom.img in \Window\temp\ExtRom.img and delete \Window\temp\FLASH.DIO while completed extract of DSUU running. Then imitate DSUU instruction. Is it right? This way, I cuccessed to new Flash.dio for AtomLife.

I'm a noob and it took me awhile to figure it out too. I created a new empty folder on the desktop. Then using Winzip or Winrar (or whatever zip program you use) select all files and EXTRACT them into the empty new folder you created on your desktop. Then run the .bat file you see (buildos or something like that). There will also be a bunch of additional folders inside your new folder...don't worry about those. The program pretty much runs itself after that. You can pick some options...then click the small green arrow in the menu bar and some stuff happens in the background....finally it will produce your ROM and you follow the onscreen intructions from there.
Kinda on the same note ... can other aps be added to the rom? ie ... say Handbase, SPB Pocket plus ... Obviously I'd love to build a rom that would if restore my phone like I like it after a hard reset ... not sure if you can do this ... but if so How? I'm currently using a "cooked" rom from the same
kitchen ... would just like to cook it some more

Hi I'm having the same problem. I tried running the .bat file and it comes up with the same error. You wrote that you fixed it, but didn't say how. In the future it would probably be a little more helpful if you wrote how you fixed it. Thank you very much guys.
Over the coming days, I shall be writing more below as a tutorial for ROM cooking/Modification.
First, you will need a ROM kitchen. For ease of use, I would recommend Inteks Neokit which can be found here.
Next you will need a base ROM (any Prophet ROM will do) many can be found here.
Now, load neokit and then select the "Select nb/nbf" option. Select the ROM you want to modify and then click "dump rom". This will deconstruct the ROM and put all the files included in the ROM into a single directory.
If you know the files you want to change (such as images) you can simply find them in the "dump" folder (click on the "..." button on neokits main screen) and replace them with the files you want.
If you want to add a program, you can do it two ways:
Create an OEM Package.
Install a CAB after the flashing of the ROM.
If you want to change the registry, the "default.rgu user.rgu" tab must be selected.
To change shorcuts, you will need to edit the "initflashfiles.dat".
After modifying the ROM, you will need to build it back up so that you can flash it. Go to the main screen and click "build ROM" click yes, and then you will have to wait for this to complete.
Now you need to turn the *.nb files into a *.nbf. Follow the instructions in neokit for this.
This will be updated with more detail when I have the time to do so.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask as I and others will be willing to help.
What can be safely removed?
Below are the names of packages that can be removed without causing instabilities. Having said that, the may dramatically reduce the functionality of a ROM. The best way to find out what ca be removed is to try it yourself, flash it and see if anything works/doesn't work and then build on it from there. Post your findings here and help someone else!
Internet Explorer-Related Packages
Browsing--Base for IE
Browsing_DPI_96--Images related to IE
Browsing_Lang_XXX (where XXX is the region code) Can be removed or replaced for localisation.
BROWSINGCORE--This might cause instabilities to the OS as lots of programs rely on these files
Also reserved.
Thanks...
It's really helped...

This question can't be answered, it is a bit the same as "How do I get to Amsterdam?" Without telling us where you are!
How can anyone tell you what is to be removed in your ROM if we don't know what files are there in the first place? This can be different depending on wich ROM you use; some are allready "cleaned out" while others are stuffed to the max.
But above all, it is up to you to decide what you will sacrifice to create more space. The challengeing part of this game is to try, explore and discover and experience that overwhelming satisfaction when a plan comes through!!
So, my advice: don't bother to refrase your question but just go for it yourself....

I agree with that, however from personal experience I think a short list of things that can be removed might be helpful...

I agree with that, however from personal experience I think a short list of things that can be removed might be helpful...

That right!.I mean list of files that can be removed safely.Example, If I would like to remove Microsoft word. I should remove file1.exe,file2.dll,...etc.
Sorry for my poor English.

You have to overwrite the MUI files, change some paths in the Regsitry (default.hv and user.hv, konvert them first) and change the paths in the initflashfiles.dat! That's all!

Over the coming days, I shall be writing more below as a tutorial for ROM cooking/Modification.
First, you will need a ROM kitchen. For ease of use, I would recommend Inteks Neokit which can be found here.
Next you will need a base ROM (any Prophet ROM will do) many can be found here.
Now, load neokit and then select the "Select nb/nbf" option. Select the ROM you want to modify and then click "dump rom". This will deconstruct the ROM and put all the files included in the ROM into a single directory.
If you know the files you want to change (such as images) you can simply find them in the "dump" folder (click on the "..." button on neokits main screen) and replace them with the files you want.
If you want to add a program, you can do it two ways:
Create an OEM Package.
Install a CAB after the flashing of the ROM.
If you want to change the registry, the "default.rgu user.rgu" tab must be selected.
To change shorcuts, you will need to edit the "initflashfiles.dat".
After modifying the ROM, you will need to build it back up so that you can flash it. Go to the main screen and click "build ROM" click yes, and then you will have to wait for this to complete.
Now you need to turn the *.nb files into a *.nbf. Follow the instructions in neokit for this.
This will be updated with more detail when I have the time to do so.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask as I and others will be willing to help.

From my rom is *.nbh not nb or nbf, what next?
What device is that from?
*.nbh files can be read using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377514

HTC p3600, Trinity
The tools I mention in the first post are designed purely for the HTC Prophet... I have no idea about what to do for a Trinity...

hi l3v5y :Moderator,
I was a new member of xdaDef...
i'd ever cook the rom base on the RK at PDAMobiz.com..
But i got the prob. about how to add the program into the OEM package 'coz some programs i got that contained the old version.
Anyway i used the package creator 5.5 to do create it into the OEM file...
after that i can collect the program in OEM and can build OS but after upping the ROM ....
it;s got HANG.... Oh no..
I tried many many time to change something but i didn't have the knowledge about RM..
could u pls. suggest me by e-mail how to cook the rom by myself after i d/l the SYS, OEM, and XIP of "CE 5.2.19960 (issue form HTC Raphael) ported for ELF"..
I wanna be a rom cooker asap....
Best Regards,
JoeMan

Also another suggestion:
When removing one or more software you should also remove the setting in initflashfiles.dat and the registry in default/user.rgu, that's call clean remove.
When adding softs, also include adding path and registry also.
For better removing or adding soft you should look inside their cab (I use WinCE cab manager)

Oke
For instance, you want to add smsbackup in your rom
Open smsbackup.cab with wince cab
There are 2 files (exe and dll), 1 shortcut (lnk) and 4 registry entry
So, you should add 3 files (exe. dll, and lnk) to dump folder (adding fiile from neokit tools from Inteks)
Adding some initflash.dat with some path (where do you want to put the link file)
Adding 4 registry key in default or user.rgu
For removing, the process will be reversing.
Hope this will help you
I think you should try practicing.
I searched and couldn't find anything. Stock ROM, new Touch Pro. When I try to install it, the progress bar gets all the way to the end then I get this
Installation error. Stop all applications and processes, maximize available storage space, and run installation again. Support info: 2.

I closed everything, turned off TF3D, and am around 50% of my RAM used. Still no dice. Any advice?
Rename the following file
rename mscoree.dll under windows\ to mscoree.dll.txt
and then reinstall NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab

What will that do?
I've done it twice and it works
Not sure what it does, but I was able to reinstall Net Compact Framework. I forgot where I saw that.
Cheers, renaming that file fixed the problem for me too.
can't find it ANYWHERE
I Have looked high and low for 'mscoree.dll' file. I looked all through windows using file explorer (with SHOW ALL FILES ticked). I've looked in my reged. Closest I can find is in windows called 'coredll.dll0409.mui'. I'm using CDMA stock ROM 1.93 WM6.1. I have not tried netcf install yet, id that why no file?
I know this an old thread, but...
Can anyone PLEASE HELP? Thanks

I'm running the stock ROM, albeit the dumped version, but the mscoree.dll file is indeed there from the factory. I didn't have any issues with the install myself. Just ran the MSI file (while synced) located here.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
It adds another file called mscoree3_5.dll.
