For a lot of program's i don't need a desktop to setup my PDA. But some programs like .net from microsoft, oziexplorer, citrix, resco-fileexplorer can only be installed from a windows-PC.
is there a way to extract or keep-from-a-temporary-space the .cab file that must be somewhere during the install.
wouldn't it be nice to totally rebuild your system with one button after flashing/testing a new ROM or after a empty-battery situation on holiday.
Strangely enough, this is exactly what I do. I stick to cab downloads where possible (keeping them on the SD) but there are ways to extract the cabs from the installer where there isn't one available. Theres a couple of ways you can:
1. Sometimes the installler is built on a zip and you can just open the exe in winzip. If you have winzip shell extensions installed you get an "open in winzip" option on the right-click menu.
2. If that doesn't work, run up the installer and proceed the the part where it copies it to the phone. There are two places you can find the cab. The first is on your PC in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\. Sort by date to find the most recent file. The other place is on the phone itself...the installer actually copies the cab to the phone the installs it. I think you can find the cab in \Windows\AppMgr but it's been a while and that may be wrong.
some apps will put their cab on m$ activesync dir.
have u try sprite backup to backup ur system including storage.
Guy's,
thanks for your info. Got it complete in cab files on my storagecard now. Some i found in programfiles/activesync on the desktop. Sometimes it wasn't clear which cab file to use, so i started the install from the desktop. Then on the PDA when the question comes about where to install, then i started fileexplorer to see where the temporary cab file is. They all where in windows/appmgr/install.
thx,

(First post and not really good english)
One week after i bought my phone (HTC P4350, unbranded) i discovered this site/forum. A very usefull site, i learned much.
Now i am going to try to build my own rom. Based on this howto. (not Vista, but XP Professional)
(WM6: All WM6/WM6.1 ROMS --> All Official HTC Roms --> WWE version)
first i followed the howto without modifications to SYS and OEM to test if everything was working. result: as expected, a working phone.
next step was to remove some folder from SYS.
first try: remove 'windows update' (AUTOUPDATE, Autoupdate_Lang_0409)
flashed to phone, result: Start->Settings->Tab System->Windows Update fully functional, so it is not removed at al,
second try:
restored AUTOUPDATE, Autoupdate_Lang_0409
removed INTERNETSHARING
flashed to phone, result: Start->Programs->Internet Sharing, functional for so far i could test (no internet on phone, sim in other phone), but IntShrUI.exe was available in \Windows
Troubleshooting/Guesses about what went wrong
- Am i deleting stuf in the right directory (C:\Core\Hypercore\Build\SYS)
- Can i continue working in the kitchen after i flashed one time, or should i delete c:\core and start al over again by every modification?
after some houres searching on google and this site i did not found the solution or anyone with a problem like this.
i am doing something wrong, but do not know what.
'Met vriendelijke groet' (Greetings)

You're doing fine. Not sure why you would still have functioning parts after removing them... you took them off the SYS folder and place them where? (Somewhere NOT in the build folder.)
no, not in the build folder, i put a 'backup'/'copy' in a subfolder of 'my documents'
so i don't think that is the problem
edit:
i carefully read the howto for x time again and know i am wondering if (as below, quote) also goes for SYS folder, find everything with 'intshrui.exe', 'internet sharing', 'autoupdate', 'autoupdate.exe', etc
Add the oem packages into the oem folder. Total commander and networkwzard don’t require removal off default files from the oem folder, but comm. Manager do, and so do htc home. The way I use to find duplicate files, is before I add the oem packages, I open in.ex the new package with comm manager, and I highlight the OEM folder and rightclick and choose searchtab. Search for files, type in search “comm.” And all files containing the word “comm.” Will be displayed, dele them (make sure they belong to comm manager, that the names matches the one in your package)
When you have searched for all files in your package, and deleted them from the OEM folder, you can add you package.
Follow same steps for all packages you add, that can have duplicate files, if you don’t you will get error when building the rom, and the build process will terminate, tell you what file is duplicate. You must then find the file, and remove it (don’t remove the one in your new package)

You did it correctly... I wonder if it's really building the ROM or just flashing what's already in there...
I would offer that you use my kitchen, but I think you would definitively keep trying at the HyperCore because it sounds like you might be one of the next generation of cooks. My kitchen is more for the average person who doesn't want to or have the time to learn how to cook but wants their own custom ROM.
what i want for now i a rom with the software i 'need' of like.
i will give your kitchen a try, this link right?
but i don't give up with HyperCore because it should work. if other can do it, i can do it (i think)

I'll be uploading Beta 2 soon with a LOT of fixes, you might want to wait until then. Any packages that you'd like to see there before I start uploading?
most packages that i need are in the list.
Basis apps like Office, audio manager are there, same goes for tools.
Your kitchen works easy. Nice work.
With the current release (downloaded at +/- 20:00 GMT+1) has some errors while building. Such as 'the file 'temp\dump\winlive.htm' already exists'.
i think i can handle those error my self, isn't it?
Greeting
Robin

the double in \tem\ is not important... but there msut be a double in one of the sys or oem folders. try to search them and delete one of them....
Exactly. Do a search for the OEM and SYS folder for the files in question and delete the duplicate. All these errors have been fixed in the Beta 2, but I haven't had time to upload them, yet. (Tried last night but the connection went out half way through it.)
On a brighter note, I'm slowly buying all the parts I need this week to finally rebuild my computer!! (For those that have been here long enough to know my PC fried and I've been working off my ancient laptop for a while.)
when you have uploaded beta2 i will give it a try
good luck with (re)building your pc
i think i know what went wrong..
When starting Hypercore\Panel\Build\BuildOS there are for me 3 options
1. Start "Build OS"
2. Create OS.nb from Sys and OEM
4. Flash
The first time (without changes to SYS and OEM) i copied OS.nb to HyperCore\Tools\RUU for flashing my phone.
By the second test with changes to SYS and OEM i started BuilOS, followed all 3 steps but did not copy OS.nb to HyperCore\Tools\RUU so the first ROM is flashed again, and not my modified ROM
I will now give it another try and will let know the result. But i'm pretty sure this was the problem.
Thanks already for trying to help me.
That would DEFINITIVELY be a problem. lol
After you run 1, then 2, the os.nb will be at the build folder after.
Still some trouble
here i am again.
i don't know if i should start a new thread or go further with this one.
After i removed some software, i am now trying to add software (oem packages). As source i have some cab files. They have to be converted to an oem package, (i read, found on this forum). So i tried to.
Reading and applying this one, and this one BuildOS make trouble.
An messagebox appears with 'Data Exception' and in the bottom (status) is says
[ Error, Last status: "Processing: OEM\OEMAPPS... Searching for dsm file" ]
I tried also with an OEM Package (PocketRAR) downloaded from here.
It keeps saying the same error.
Who can help me?
if you need more information you can ask me for it.
I recently upgraded my XPERIA X1 to Windows Mobile 6.5 using the W4X ROM however I'm disappointed the a majority of the ringtones have been removed.
I'm curious whether they can be extracted from a NBH image.
Now, firstly, I have no idea how to cook a ROM but I imagine the files and folders are contained within the image file somewhere.
I have a backup of the previous official R2AA rom that came pre-installed with the device however I have no idea on how to extract the NBH file.
I found an application that splits the NBH into several NB files however I have no idea how to progress further.
I imagine the 'Windows.nb' image contains the contents of the Windows folder on the device where the ringtones would be.
So, could someone point me in the right direction to find an application that will allow me to extract the folders contained within the NB file so I can access the missing ringtones and reinstall them?
Cheers,
Hyped

if you download jerpelea's kitchen (it's in one of the stickies) and put the rom in the source folder then run the command it extracts everything from it, and i suppose you could probably browse through the files that way, but i'm nt sure, just a suggestion!
or you could probably search for the ringtones on XDA, i know there are some from the rhodium somewhere!
Search this forum and you will find plenty of ringtone packages to download (removed from ROM but as addon shared by the cooks)
Thought gtrab shared it also in his cooking tutorial....
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
Hi,
I accidently deleted a file from windows/startup folder. From what i can remember it started with btxxxx.exe
Because of this accident, bluetooth cannot be enabled anymore within com manager.
I am running wm 6.5
Thanks in advance.
BTTrayCE.lnk?
Yes! that sounds familiar
But, if its a lnk i should be able to recreate the link from the original location.
You may copy it from /Windows. Just tap and hold on the link, go to /Windows/StartUp and paste it there.
Thanks, I hope thats it.
Could you let me know what other startup links you have in the startup folder (except for the apps you installed yourself)
Hahhaha, sure
You messed up with the "boot speed up process"? Cleaned too much?

Edit: Btw. I'm using Rhodium S2 rom, but I believe that the shortcut's in Rhodium S are same.
