Question about AddOn folder in the rom update - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

I noticed that the VoiceCommander1.6.cab is included AddOn folder after I unzipped the "Helmi_WM2k5_AKU3.2_32mb_v1.3.2_16mb_bitpool_32mbRamdisk.rar"
I have the Cyberon Voice Commander 1.6 for other language, can I just simply overwrite the VoiceCommander1.6.cab? Do I need to modify something such as registry etc?
That should not cause my rom update to fail, right?
If I have other application that I want this rom update install automatically, can I just simply put the cab file into the "AddOn" folder?

You need to modify the cfg.txt file in the \ExtROM\ folder in order to auto-install programs.
The \ExtROM\ folder should be copied to \Storage card\ on your BA before upgrade. Nothing from the AddOn will be instaled.

If ur difference languange Cyberon 1.6 (Build 1.5) is already patch for PH20B device then u might use it not my version, if not already patched, pm me to patch it I'll tell u where to patch it (hex editor is needed).
about extended rom cab bro _TB_TB already answer ur question... just copy the file u need from addOn dir, and copy to somewhere at ur SD card, or better on ExtROM folder with the rest cab and modify the cfg.txt to execute it after HR...
about wince.nls there's a cab for replace it, but I dont it'll will work on AKU ROM maybe u need to modify the rom directly, or if i found the cab I'll send u, maybe u can test it.
EDIT:
copy ur customize wince.nls to \Temp\ dir on PDA and install this cab, I dont thing its will work, but give it a try.

Great! You folks are so helpful.
I will play around with the wince.nls first in the rom to see if it work and give you folks an update on that (when I got my new 4 G SD card and start to upgrading to WM5), coz I remember the old rom does contains a wince.nls in the root.
For the "Cyberon VoiceCommander v1.6" my version is Build 50824.1 that I downloaded from a PDA forum, it works so far ok on my i-mate PDA2k WM2003 se, is that patch for WM5? if without patch, what will happend?(or say the question in another way, how do I know if it is patched or not)
I have attached my version , "Cyberon VoiceCommander v1.6" version is Build 50824.1, some sort of Green, it installed most of the stuff in the SD card. Causion: it is not Engilish

Question about Extended ROM cooking

I have succesfully updated my PDA2k from the standard ITalian ROM to the one in my signature
I'm very happy and I would like to thanks All for the support
Now I would like to cook my first Extended ROM and I have a very simple question but, I have not been able to find the answen in the wiki
The Extende ROM I have now doesn't contains the Config.txt file but the Setup.exe.
During the cooking process. Should I take out the .exe file and substitute it with my oun Confing.txt?
Thanks
Asmodeo :twisted:
There is a rason for that.
In some roms that have gone through the kitchen 1.3x we have noticed that the autorun, config.txt has been subsitutted by a new methord setup.exe.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_X_131112
What you need to do is downlaod an old version Ext rom which has the autorun, confix txt.
Extract those files 2 files, delete the setup.exe and add the autorun, config txt to your ext rom (oh yes and dont forget to edit the config.txt)
The one I use is in the imate 1.22 162 and found on wiki

Extracting CABs from a ROM

Anyone on here know how to Extract a CAB file from a ROM/Extended ROM? ive been trying to find something about this on here and cant seem to find anything that pertains to it. there are several programs that are included in roms and extended roms that i have and i wold like to be able to put them on my 8125 with the ROM i have now. Thanks in Advance!
Corey
If you already have a cabfile that resides in the extended rom the process is quite easy... just use total commander and copy the file from there to a place on your device where you can later use it...
If you don't have a cabfile but just a program, say arcsoft mms composer that's already integrated into the rom, the process gets a little more complicated, but not impossible. You will, however, need to know all the files that the program uses, dll's, imagefiles, exe's and registry posts, copy them from rom to your windows pc and from there use a program like ce cab manager to create a cabfile for it (if you want. you can merely transer all the files and registry posts to your current rom without creating a cab)

cool, thanks for the info, what program do i need to use to unpack the NBF so i can access the files? I tried to use the one in the wiki (typho5) but i cant seem to get it to work.
for dumping rom's read through this thread
You'll probably want to read it all and I'm sure that it wont make that much sense to begin with but it'll come to you
For converting a nbf to nb files use:
Code:
typho5.exe -x nk.nbf
typho5.exe -x nk.nbf does NOT make it a .nba file!
It extracts the contents of the rom (OS, Extended Rom, Radio, Splash Screen, IPL/SPL) into .nb files.
The Extended Rom file can be opened with WinImage.

Thanks...i just checked out that thread..looks like ive got some studying ahead of me lol thanks for the help.
thanks Molski, you must have posted that just after i read the post above yours lol. thanks for the info i have another question for you here though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291847 As smart as you guys are im sure theres a reason you havent done it though

TO: c_shekhar

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.

How to cook ROM???

Hi, exist any "how to" cook ROM for our Treo750? I'd like to try make my own ROM.
?
any ideas? somebody?
Customize ??
I only know how to customize rom by use exists rom maybe Ruu_signed.nbh or Cheeimg.nbh .
By reading from wiki XDA http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ROM_kitchen because of Treo750 base on Hermes.
if you want to know how to do , what to do read it from ROM Donalds topic but you can choose any tool for me prefer and (almost) use Want more Storage? Here you go! it has batch file to do all process and 'der hermes rom koch' is good for edit all hv file (hv file contain all registry setting for me I prefer to do after flash by mortscript so I only use batchfile).
Please notify once we use exists rom it mean (for me) we only use to add file or remove file with normaly we can't remove it from rom by easy way such as delete by file explorer because of system will said you can't not delete system file in rom example for me I never use Powerpoint,OneNote so I decide to customize WWE 19199 by remove 2 file and some file and rebuild back to Cheeimg.nbh and after flash and boot I got 67MB free ram for storage and 29MB for Program.
IF you need to make new one from zero I still not information I try to search from google but just know a little due to Treo has square 240x240 and very few people use that seem to be hard to find an information and sure if I got it I will let you or anyone know.

How to extract cabs from ROM?

How can i extract cabs from a dumped rom? Specfically, i need just one thing - my Blackstone came with preinstalled Sunnysoft Interwrite PRO with my language, and i need that. I've dumped the rom and played with it in Raphael Kitchen, but got nothing i could use (or that i know how to use).
Sorry no help from me, just want to add that i would like to know this as well.
You can't fin directly the cab in dumped rom, also you may find a package unader Oem folder o find the program in a folder into Sys folder, if the dump it's made correctly!
After you may make a cab!
Found the cabs and the exes in temp folder. Installed interwrite on my hermes and it's working flawlessly
Now, here's another question, i tried to cook the rom, but i got both os-new.nb and ruu_signed.nbh both around 20 MB. Is that ok?
20 mb for HD?
It's few for ok rom... control the kitchen!
I did get the "error, last status creating shadow order file" error
