Hey all, how would I go around creating a cab that will remove links throughout the phone... and also remove certain registry keys which I specify? I know how to create a cab and sign it and such. I've seen many guides on how to create a CAB that will add and modify registry keys, but I haven't been able to find one that tells me how to remove registry keys.
Thanks!

I am new to this forum and have seen a lot of tweaks here that could improve the performance. I have a Diamond but do not know how to tweak i.e. where do I go on the phone to get into regedit mode. I know on my PC and Laptop, I have to go to 'Run' and type 'regedit' and press 'enter' to get in to the registry editor. How can I do the same on the Diamond? Pease help.
Registry editor
You need a registry editing program. There are a number of third party programs available. One of the simplest is included in _Total Commander_ a file manager which includes a registry editor. There are also a number of free standing editors, at least one of which is free. Check this forum for threads.

read wiki about diamond tweaks there are plenty
Thanks
Thank you very much ansonr and xdaking for your feedback.
Hi all. Sorry to revisit an old topic, but much searching and experimentation has failed me.
I'm running the official AT&T 6.1 ROM, which supposedly has .NET CF 3.5 built-in. However, I installed an older version to get some other software running. Then, I uninstalled the older version and tried to reinstall 3.5, only to get installation errors. In trying to get my 3.5 installation to stop giving me errors, I've been trying furiously to delete the HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework registry key, because I read that might be the problem. No matter what I try, I can't delete that key.
After XDAGoogling "registry edit access denied" and several variants of that, I came up with loads of different registry editing options, all of which I installed, and all of which failed.
Here are some of the programs that give me either an "Access denied" or "This key cannot be deleted" error, after I read that they solved the problem for others:
PHM Registry Editor
Resco File Explorer
CERegEditor (tried the "unlock registry" option)
Torchsoft Registry Workshop
BitsInside RegEdit
I also tried every other freeware registry editor I could find on the usual freeware sites (freewarepocketpc.com, pocketpcfreeware.com, freeppcwarefreepcwarefree.com, etc)
I also installed the sdkcerts.cab and Basic Security cabs I came across, with no luck.
So, I'm at the end of my rope, and that's the only time I'd reach out to this forum. Does anyone have any idea:
A) what might be causing the problem,
B) a registry editor I should try I might have missed, or
C) something else that might be causing .NET CF3.5 to give me installation errors (I've searched the hell out of that one, too).
Thanks very much in advance, I hope you're all having a good weekend.
Just one shameless bump, no more, no less.
Maybe it's time to do a hard reset... this could be quicker than trying to find a fix and implement it.
marty, thanks for the reply. I have yet to set up a whole SASHIMI autoinstall scheme, so it's always hell for me to do a hard reset. I'd love to avoid it if I can.
I'm hoping that someone might have had the same issue as me, and gotten out of it. I see lots of .NET installation errors when I search for this issue, but they're all a little different.
I had a similar problem but found I could get around it using MortScript. It's slightly more laborious than using a registry editor because you have to write a small script to set the registry key and then run it. But it did work for me. I find it useful to keep a script with all my registry hacks (and other stuff like program installations) so that I can re-run it after a hard reset.
Cheers.
Just make a cab whit a Post-XML.

If you do not know how to make a cab you can make a xml and use Dot Fred's task manager to import the xml.
What happend when you tried to use CeRegEditor and edit the registry directly from your PC?
I'm trying to use Sashimi auto installer, but I can't find the registration key for these software in the registry... Anyone know a fast way to find them?

I'm not asking for the registry key (that's illegal). I'm asking for the registry of these softs which I've already installed and registered in my device.
The only thing i can think of (and im taking a long shot) is download a registry editor and use it to see if there is a folder with the registration there.
Can you dump the registry, before and after the registration and then compare the Hive using something like Winmerge?
I keep meaning to this my self, but never have time

Some mod Suggested me to do the samething, but I don't quite understand how to do that.
So I have to backup all the REG in 1 reg file, then install my program, then do another Full REG backup and finally compare them?
Isn't it way too much especially the *.reg file is like 0 000001000 021? What do you mean by comparing the Hive? can I just like compare the folder name?

The Hive is just another name for the whole Registry.
If you have two .reg files they should be plain text and easy to read. Find and download WinMerge and just use it to compare the two reg files. The difference is the probably going to be the registration data.

Havent done this for a while, but I used to use SKtracker. Basically it makes a log of your registry. Then apply the registration and run sktracker again. It will then compare the two logs and list everything that has changed.
look under HKLM\software, HKCU\Software

Is it a good idea if I put all the cab in the CAB folder and the full registry backup file into the REG folder, instead of making 1 reg for each cab?
The only problem I can see here is if I switched to a completely new Rom. So if I make 2 registry backup files for HKLM\software and HKCU\Software, it should do the trick right?
I built a custome theme for VZW TF3D1 user (tlr and stock tested) and I would like to build a cab file...any help on that?

look for a program called WinCE Cab Manager it will do the trick
I think wince cab manager costs like a hundred bucks; at least it did the last time I looked it up. Look up Quickcab 2.0; it's free and easy to use. Adding reg keys is a bit tough, though, especially if there is a bunch of hex code. You might look to sk tools to make the cab if you have a bunch of reg entries. What you do is create a cab file with Quickcab that inserts all the necessary files. Run it on your device, then open SK Tools and go to the 'Installed Programs' tool. Long press on your cab, and then select 'Make Cab.' When the cab page comes up, you can then add as many reg entries to the cab from your device as you want. It's really simple to do. Then select 'create cab' and you're done. You have to pay for sk tools if you don't already have it, obviously, but it's only 16 bucks and will be more useful to you in the long run I suspect than blowing 100 bucks on Wince Cab Manager.
I am using Visual Kitchen to build my ROMs. There are five types of files that are used to eventually create the registry: *.hv *.rgu *.reg *.provxml *.xml. I'm trying to find a program that takes all these files one by one and create ONE *.rgu file. When adding keys to the One.rgu the program should check whether the key exists with different value and ask the user whick value to keep. Is there a program like that? Could someone make one? I am not a programmer myself so i can't do it but i believe that this would be very useful for all cooks.
