all inclusive with patch rom (wm5)

is it possible to make an already full patched(button fix,camera,bluetooth,etc) rom with all basic programs (such as mms client,stk,backlight,etc)?
i think yes but i'm not able to make it..it will be very usefull for newbies such me..
with this full rom you do not need to post lots of duplicated threads and all will works since the beginning..

yeah i would like that to,
so we only have to install it without patching and so

very good idea!!!!
but now, apart the Wiki, there is a list of all patchs that must be installed?!
'cause I don't have enough time to read alle the pages in WM5 problem resolutions thread

well,
so far, i created a project for a extended rom under wm2005.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_WM5_Extended_ROM
Butt im stuck, it will not install off the rom after a hard reset.
If this would be working we do not have to worry anymore if we forgot or lost our sd card for the neccesary patches.

i think yes
i can make a list but someone has to do that
i think tha the 'default' are:
camera fix
wm5_v3 fix
button fix
midi with album fix
missing system programs (mycpl.rar)
traylauncher
wifi programs
sim manager
and a set of default programs:
pdf reader
xscaler
pocketplus
pocketrar
etc..

I would say no, i'd rather have the choice to install what patches i want. For instance if i dont use MMS or prefer the soft keys of WM5. The way it is now you can configure the device just as you want. Getting a working extended rom you can customise would be my choice. I definitely wouldnt want Pocketplus installed by default on my device.

It has to work first.
So anybody already found a working autorun.exe and config.txt files?
I Tried alot of those two, but still not able to get it working under te extended rom after a hard reset.

Yes i dont have to use it; but if the patches are no longer released separately then i have no choice. If there is a choice of all-in-one rom and non-patched that will be ok. But you have to think of who creates the rom, it may be easier just to maintain one rom version. I guess we have to wait and see..
@pimbo have you tried the autorun from the K-Jam extended rom? May be different from the Universal files. Its here ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/

Not yet, preparing my device now, autorun is 17kb from this one
setup is 104kb, looks common, exept the dates are a bit older.
Manually launching the autorun of files on the extended rom will work, so i guess that i have to do a hardreset again, thats what i going to do later the evening. lol 8)

:evil: :evil:
No luck. wil not automaticly run.
Still need to make the rom visible and run the autorun.exe for the installs.
But this is the nearest solution for now i guess.
So you still need a single cabfile on a sd card to unhide your rom and install all files on there.
If anybody knows the bytes to change in the nbk or nbf files or maybe in the bootstrap, the adaption could be completed and the patches would automaticly install after a hardreset. .

please don't OT
...so
dev can make all in one rom and single patch

right?!

i for one would love an all encompassing rom patch. reading through all the duplicate posts and other resolutions is a real hassle for noobs. we see the same questions being asked every 3 days or so and it just creates more clutter for the other noobs to sift through. i figure a lot of those fixes should be included in the next patch of the current wm5 rom anyhow if people rather wait for that to come around.

nice job..so we have only to wait maimac or someone else..
we are all noob..we are all waiting for you :lol:
if ppl want to install single patch one by one they can do that
but i think that for noobs this is such as an "official" rom
tested and approved from xda devs

did not work, did the autorun in a folder called 2577. cab files on the root.
did a hard reset, but would still not install.
The screen of the 3sec before install wont pop up
But after i made my extended rom visible, it automaticly runs after a soft reset.(the 3sec screen pops up )
(last problem?)
But i'm going to get some sleep now, maybe that will help a bit :shock:

This would not work. WM5 on BA lacks registry settings and driver for the extended_rom folder.

SmartsKey Error?

I have had no luck with SmartsKey. I have installed, uninstalled, installed at least 5 diffedrent times and it is nothing but a problem for me.
I have read the Un-Installation Instructons:
1. Run smartskey.exe once, a popup will be shown, tap 'Yes' to close the program.
2. Deleted the folder that stores smartskey
3. Checked/windows/startup to see if there is an sortcut that link to smartskey.
4. Made a softrest.
I have done this many times and I stil get:
NOTIFICATION ERROR
Cannot execute "\Program Files\Smartskey.exe'
I have done a search for Smarskey and could find nothing on my MDA.
Any suggestions??? Thank you in advance.

Still looking for a resolution on this. Anyone can help? Thank you!

Mine does that occassionally on reboots.
But it actually loaded.
Did you make sure the ini file is in the right folder ?

Mine was loaded and then I tried uninstall. Yes the ini file is in the right folder. I even tried putting it in the Program folder, etc.
Thanks for your help.

check your notification database, you probably got a smartskey entry there

That did it!!!!!!
I greatly appreciate your help and time. Thank you!!!

Can someone tell me how to access the notification database. I'm using total commander but don't know which directory holds the database.

when I did it many months ago, I used something called "check notifications", by scary bear software I think they were called.
And maybe memmaid can do it too. Not sure

What is PKG.exe

Who knows what the PKG.exe does it is in the \windows\startup folder?

Ever find the answer to this?

Nope!!!!!!!!!

someone knows it?

I dont know what is PKG.exe, but I can tell you its safe to remove it from statrup.

Found this strange file also in the startup folder of the HTC Touch Cruise. Might be safe to delete, but I don't think they put it in there just for fun
Anyone any idea?

google has all of 3 links about this, surely a chef will know?

So what is now the pkg.exe? I can't find anything with google, sorry...
thanks for the answer,
cj182

Google has way more than 3 links but none really answer the question. I am not a programmer but it appears that it is a generic executable to launch a package (pkg) of plugins\programs. "Pkg.exe" is used in several different applications and that is why I refer to it as "generic". It looks like it does similar function in different installs. Not much help, I know, but I tried.

I deleted PKG.lnk from the Startup folder on my Touch HD and then soft reset it. It doesn't seem to change anything as far as I can tell.

Wondering the same thing myself.
Found this in an old hyperdragon ROM thread:
pkg.lnk:
shortcut to pkg.exe. Psst don't tell anyone, it will run any application named "pkgautorun.exe" located in \Storage Card\2577 then the system will automatically delete pkg.lnk. Safe to delete.

Ok. that was a bit kryptic. No help at all really. lol.

I have it as well - you all dont have tomtom installed do you? I do remember Tomtom install executed files in \Storage Card\2577 but only the 1st time when installed

Need TouchFlo.exe from Windows dir (ver. 2.3) Please Help!

Hey experts
I downloaded and installed TylerC161 compiliation of Touch-it 2.3 (clean, see this thread) with TouchFLo, but after installing successfully, I still can't get the cube to appear. I had the version 2 before and I simply assigned TouchFlo to one of the buttons. The TouchFlo application or shortcut was installed in Programs/TouchFlo folder. After installing this version, I don't see the TouchFlo in that folder (only TF Setting and TouchSetting), nor do i see it anywhere in the Button Settings. Am I missing something? I only found a shortcut file in the Windows directory. But copy/paste that didn't solve. My question is can someone with working Version 2.3 upload TouchFlo.exe file from Windows directory for me so I can copy it where it is supposed to go? Or do I need to reflash and re-install? Thanks!
I tried Touch-It 2.3 fix.cab but that didn't solve it! Any ideas?! Please?!

you must select your method of cube activation in TFsettings i believe. Its one of those choices.

I did that, and it still didn't create TouchFLO icon or gave me an option in the Buttons! Very strange!
I even tried another Flash from Genuine RUU, and still the same thing! Please help, anyone?

Once you select an option in TFsetting, you need to reset the device.
There will not be any buttons to start touchflo, just the option that you selected, meaning either sliding your finger from the top of the screen to the bottom or center to bottom, and etc.

Automating Haret?

I've never seen any mention of this....but has anyone done any work on automating Haret? It could easily have an internal timer that after 10 seconds calls the Run_Click() function automatically. Then, haret could run on WM startup.

Search for a program called "Gen Y" on here or on Google and you should find what you are looking for.

Never heard of it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, Gen.Y Dualboot is exactly what you're looking for. It works pretty well.

Can we use that with the new nomorerootfs setup though? It requires a different file structure...

I'm currently search XDA for the thread, but I remember seeing a REG Edit you could make to have Gen Y search in a different location than the root of your sd card. I'll edit this post if I find the answer...

another thing you can do, is make a shortcut of HARET on the windows start-up folder
at the end of the name of the shortcut, put ".ink"
or what ever the other files in that folder have
and rename the default.txt file to startup.txt
that way as soon as you open haret it automatically starts loading android
or you can simply rename default.txt to startup.txt and when you open up haret it automatically starts running android
