Hi
Question:
somebody know how to run *.reg file in Extendet Rom.
For example, I want to add some information after an Hard Reset.
I know cpy1: cpy2: command, they have others? :roll:
Cheers
I think you have to incorporate it in a cab.

Hello, I have successfully updated my ROM to the Mamaich posted 1.33.51 and all seems well apart form the occasional two GPRS Icon bug. However, I have a few questions as I now want to cook my ExtendedROM to updade some CAB files and remove some I don't need or use. The contents of my ExtendedROM currently looks like this
AutoRun.exe
BA_Album_WWE.CAB
BA_Version_122.CAB
Button9_PIE.sa.CAB
CallerID_wwe.cab
CDL_ECall.CAB
Config.txt

I have installed the BT3900 cab file and this seems to work O.K, so my question is I would like to add the BT3900 cab file to my extended rom in addition to the camera can file.
Q1:Can anyone tell me which of the cab files in the list above are Bluetooth related, so that I can remove them.
Q2: By just adding the BT3900 cab file bring me up to date without requiring any Patches.
Q3: Would I need the audiogw.dll that a lot of people refer to
Q4: Are there other things I should consider.
I want to add the camera, phonedialler, smartdialler and BT3900 to my ExtendedROM. I would appreciate any help.
Oh! One final question - Having upgraded to 1.33.51 do I need the wave.dll file.
Thanks for all your help.

"Q2: By just adding the BT3900 cab file bring me up to date without requiring any Patches."
You must add the BT 3900.cab and also RestartRadio.exe to the config.txt as follows:
EXEC:\Extended_ROM\RestartRadio.exe
CAB: \Extended_ROM\[put filename of bt3900 upgrade here].cab
I dont know, if you have to place RestartRadio again after the upgrade.cab, as Wiki says, because after running Autorun, the device softresets itself automatically - wich restarts your radio... - So that is what causes my oppinion, that you wont need another restart before this.
But this is for sure: If you want to add a file to your ext Rom you must edit config.txt too.[/url]
Thanks Bubisch. Yeah I knew I had to update the config.txt.
Can anybody else help with the questions?
Hi there!
Is it possible to clear out the extrom from the OS? I'm using a 2.x OS and I really want a pure WM 5.0 without any junk example carrier logos, operator themes, operator programs, etc.
How can I do this?
Thanks, and Cheers
Warning: You will loose all you settings (Well Duh!)
Hard reset the device.
Run through the setup.
When the device says "Device will configure in X seconds" you need to soft reset (button) before the time out.
Once the device comes back after the soft reset you will have a stock ROM and no Ext. ROM settings.
You can then customise the device with the CAB's you want from the Ext. ROM (download the CAB's from the FTP here) or whatever you want.
John
before you customising the device, Unhide the EXTROM and copy the files.
then delete them and uninstall the file.
Ok, so I need to use unlock/unhide program from the Blue Angel? Because I would like to remove the contents of the extrom to free up space.
cheers
Edit:
I've found a good ROM for me but it has a lot of extrom files. Please look at it, and tell me which onr of then are essential for the ROM and which one is Junk (like plus themes, plus programs, rings etc.).

I would like to build a pure WM5.0 Os with the maximum of free space, and without any junk/obsolete files.
Thank you for the help
I've got a superCID trinity, mounted the ext rom using fit4cat, changed the Config.txt and added some custom apps and placed the cabs on the extended_rom.
Before hard-reseting I installed the custom apps manually just to be sure the cabs were ok, after that I made a hard-reset and waited for the extrom installation to finish, my custom apps appeared on the lower part of the screen were it displays which cab is being installed and I thought everything was fine.
Problem is, when I opened the program list they weren't there. I unlocked, edited and made a hard-reset, am I missing something? I've tried flagging the new cabs as read-only and archive like the rest but the results were the same. Is it because they're not signed?
Config.txt
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
EXEC:\Windows\SetHSDPA.exe /Enable
CAB: \Extended_ROM\CVC-PPC-WWE-611082-DopodTrinity.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_MMS3.5_Dopod_Asia_Trinity_070206.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_Button1.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM\TaskManager_IconPatch_20061101.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_Dpdcert_222.cab
[B]CAB: \Extended_ROM\TrayLaunch.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM\RescoExplorer.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM\WMDCIcon.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PT_Customization.cab[/B]
XML: \Extended_ROM\PP_Ecall.xml
EXEC:\Extended_ROM\ChgScutAttri.exe
LOCK:Disabled
RST: Reset
RescoExplorer.cab, the program itself is on a folder in the extended rom(\Extended_ROM\Program Files\Resco Explorer) to save main memory space, the cab installs only a couple of dlls, registry settings and the shortcuts
TrayLaunch.cab is also on the extended rom, the cab installs the shortcuts on start menu\settings & windows\startup plus the registry settings
WMDCIcon.cab places my Sync.ico in the Windows folder to be used by Windows Mobile Device Center
PT_Customization.cab places a couple of dictionary files and makes few registry changes
oops, could one of the mods move this to the upgrading section? sorry.
you need to use a cooked OS.nb that doesn't check application security, or have your cabs signed with a valid certificate, otherwise they won't install.
I would suggest to cook your prefered OS.nb with aChef and modify the boot.hv (registry) to disable application security.
Okay thx a lot!
I'll use the latest official Dopod ROM.
just to be sure
so, I've extracted the nbs from the nbh using dutty's tool, converted the 06_OS.nb to raw using chef's tool, dumped the contents with viewimgfs tool and created and converted the boot.hv to reg using the make_boot_hv.bat & rgucomp.exe.
Now, as a first step and to gain a little confidence I just want to remove application security, for that I'l have to:
1) edit the boot.reg
1.a) as far as I read, I must add REGEDIT4 to the beginning of the file, didn't understand if it is imperative or mandatory, like if I only want to add a few things by hand(notepad), I can edit the file right away, but if I want to do something else like import it to win ce cab manager I must add the REGEDIT4 right?
2) when I finish I must convert it back to hv using rgucomp and use addfile.exe to add it to the raw file.
2.a) don't I have to use delfile to remove the boot.hv and only after addfile the new boot.hv? I think I read the addfile used the space left by delfile to place the new file.
3) convert the raw to nb using achef's tool.
I mean, I'm a little bit confused on the add/remove files subject. Since all the tools already exist, it would be nice if there was some GUI to complement them
A list of all files in the rom would be nice, with add/delete/replace context menus. Integration with the Custom RUU would also be nice, optionally create the nbh and run the Custom RUU( with the SSPL ), or export the nbh for manual flash using an SD Card.
edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295783 something like that...
1. You must be seeing a folder \ExtROM here which has few cabs and tsk files. Place this folder on \Storage Card of your device.
2. You can add the files which you wish to autoinstall after hard reset to this folder. But, dont forget to modify the \Storage Card\ExtROM\Config.txt accordingly.
3. Mark all cab files as read only.
You now have the Extended ROM back on your device but on the storage card this time.... Enjoy.
4. Install PPCPimbackup utility by Dotfred on your existing ROM and backup your SMS using that. And then flash the new ROM.The utility is available in this folder also.

Hi C_shekhar,
I have two questions in upgrading your ROM and the ExtROM
1) How to do this step ->Mark all cab files as read only
2) Can i flash the ROM first, the copy all ExtROM files to the SD card, and then do a Hardreset -> i have done this but seems not work.
Thank you.
you can mark the files read only using a file explorer utility like resco explorer. and as long as u add the appropriate entries to config.txt whenever u hard reset the cabs will get installed.
n btw im sorry im not c_shekhar but i think the answers correct

thank you very much for your quick reply.
now i have reflashed the ROM and the ExtROM works now.
I am wondering why we have to hide the files in the ExtROM folder, as i found all CAB files still there after the installing.
another question: can we hide teh ExtROM folder not the files inside?
Thanks.
yeah sure again that could be done with resco file explorer or something similar... although i dont think hiding is one of the requirements. the only thing required is marking them readonly.
I have tried using several registry apps to successfully export [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher] belonging to a previous Hutch 3 ROM.
I now want to re import these keys into my newly installed Duttys 6.1.
How do I do this?
Scuse the newb question (duck for cover) but on a PC you tap the *.reg and it will import into the registry. On my Kaiser running Duttys 6.1 I have PHM_Regedit but Import option is greyed out.
A search did not resolve it so any help would be appreciated.

Install FdcSoft's Taskmanager (it has a built in Regedit), by DotFred. In there you can associate .reg files with it. Then just run them to import.
Great I'll grab it. Thanks Dave I really appreciate the help. I know you all get sick to death of our newb questions.

Dont worry. I spent 10 minutes trying to use PHM before I gave up.
Dot Fred's TaskManager is a kick ass task manager as well as a reg editor (amongst other stuff).
P.S. Easiest way to associate is: Open TaskMgr, tools, options, Create RegEit Shortcut. This will ask do you want to associate.
Cool I can see how to do all that now thanx.
Only hiccup is I can only run it from my Storage card. I cannot work out how to copy it to my \Windows folder. I cannot work out how to delete the existing basic taskmgr.exe that installed with Dutty's. I guess this is because it is a system file. If I try and copy and replace I get error message saying not possible. Whats the trick here?

Don't know. I just leave the exe in My Docs, and run it from the shortcuts.
Okay. Will do same. thanks..
Resco Explorer will also do it.
To dotfred from your SD Card, do this:
Place the .exe in you \Storage Card\Programs folder. With your desktop PC, navigate to \Windows Mobile Device\My Device\Storage Card\Programs & right click on the exe file. Select create shortcut. Move the shortcut to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs using desktop pc.
Voilla! you are done, go check Programs & it's there.
this is the steps i usually take when entering in a reg file. I use resco explorer for all this. I double click. Then I make sure I close resco through the menu exit and not the X button. Then I continue to play around with my phone for a while opening up menus and stuff. Then I soft reset. Doing these steps, I for sure get my stuff to work. There might be some unnecessary steps I take, but I end up with what I want. Many people have trouble keeping their registry stuff to stick. The steps I take, I never worry about that.

Thanks for the tip. Was not aware you could make shortcuts this way. Running from the card appeals because the .exe will still be there after reflashing a new ROM and I will only need to move/copy the shortcut. Being a newb I have been somewhat reluctant to run apps from the card but I am gathering that is is a quite an acceptable thing to do.
Is there a way to place registry keys inside a CAB so that they will get imported when the CAB is launched? Whilst the above DotFred association method works a treat for me with ".reg" files I would like to find a standalone method to import registry info. So that I can pass a single file to someone else and without any extra config they can import the contents into their registy.
definitely. There are a lot of cab creators where you can just enter in your reg key and will create your cab. Someone recommended me this program. I really like it.

Thanks for the link thomasster. Does the job well. Probaly an overkill (and therefore overpriced for what I need), but I got it to work OK. Also from using it, I learnt that the process simply converts the registry keys to provxml. So now I am looking to manaully create the "_setup.xml" and then use iexpress.exe in Vista to create the CABs.
Is there a way to undo changes made by import .reg file?
I imported a reg file using DotFredd's Taskmanager. Now I want to undo it? Is it possible? How?
Thanks
