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.

how would one make a custom cab file for their reg edits, ID ringers, speed dial numbers, email settings, etc.
Re-flashing is no big problem but redoing all the mods takes time.
How would I make a custom cab file to do all of these in one or two shots ???
WinCE Cab Manager is what you need. Otherwise, you can do it by hand using Visual Studio 2005 or EVC (which is free).

I just created a PersonalInformation cab file for myself and I was thinking that if there's anyone interested (> 15 ppl) in a cab file with some default values (ShowSIM=0, Cache="\Storage Card\Internet Temporary Files", etc), I can make one for everyone.
This doesn't mean that I'm going to create a customized cab file for each individual request. Just one that will contain stuff that everyone needs. For those that ARE interested, please let me kow what you want. Please do not ask me to set personal information because I'm only doing 1 cab. If there's anyone that says no to a suggestion then it will be off the table.
maybe it is nice (at least for me) to have a small HOW-TO to do this myself. Then you don't have to make a cab file for everyone and I learn something really useful
I agree, instead of spending your time making us our CABS, tell us HOW to make our own cabs.
That way also, I'll put it in the newb guide.
That's just called plagiarism since a quick search will lead you here.
Hi all
I was wondering how many people here would like to have some sort of way to build an xml which upon completion of a ROM update (which for some us are only day's apart) would change a load of settings to what we want for them
this is just a concept at the moment and i would like to work with someone or the community as a whole to produce a program to do this
the concept i have is as follows:
a simple windows exe Window which has inside it drop down menu's for all of the settings possible (cleartype/text size/regional settings/time zone/notification settings) fields (username for email/password/server addresses/screen name)
and if possible, something to allow us to drag and drop CAB file's into a window which would then also package up the cab's into a folder and spit out/generate the relevant SDCONFIG.txt file
is this at all possible? is there much interest in this?
I can go through and try to find as many of the settings possible and attempt to perhaps find the relevant registry settings even
i would really like to get the ball rolling with this, im sure it could work really well, not only on the raphael, but also on other devices perhaps
please post any interest on this project/concept here and i would really like to do something about this, im about to go and figure out the best way to even code this, however my coding knowledge is about zilch.lol!
.PROVXML files are the ideal place for last minute configuration changes. I'm just starting to explore this avenue and I've found tremendous flexibility in what one can change.
Have a look at the following information ... right from the source
Provisioning Using a ROM Configuration XML File

Configuration Service Provider Reference for Windows Mobile-Based Devices
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms889539.aspx
There's also some excellent thread on XDA ... you'll have to do a bit of searching for them.
HTH,
have you looked at oemizer?
Assume this is the one you mean: http://tiermann.net
... takes the fun out of doing this the "manual way"
Cheers,
I don't use it personally. I came across it when I was learning with my M3100 (Hermes) and it provided a few useful insights at the time when I disected what it had created. I found a few problems and don't use it, but it seems like a similar attempt to what the OP is trying to achieve.
many thanks for the replies
im just looking into the oemizer that was posted and see how that works, however, i get the impression that its for rom cooking
Hi duke_stix,
That's where it's often used ... although, I have come across some posts about utilities that can re-initiate Provision XML files already present on the device or new ones placed on an SD card.
*EDIT* - Some examples

Cheers,
I have not seen anything that does exactly what you suggest, but things to look at that are maybe related include
Sashimi
tier-autoinstall (or something like that)
They run the files but don't create them.
You can always just export the reg values and then import them after you flash...
or use a reg to xml program to add it to SDConfig
I'm working on a new app right now that might have the potential to cover what you're asking for, but the exact features necessary to pull off at least a part of it won't be available in the first release. Keep an eye out on the D&H forum in anywhere from a week to two weeks when I post it up there.
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.
Inside OEMDrivers folder exists a file called 51329f91-0017-4364-bcff-e032c5d45b01.rgu. It has hundreds of lines in it, and some customizations are repeated many times. Has anyone edited it so as only the essential stuff for phone to work exist and no customizations whatsoever? (Official R3AA010)
Come on guys, i know that there are people who know more than i do. I only want the drivers to load. I'm trying to sort the registry entries alphabetically so as to get a better idea what that rgu does.
Is there a program that sorts alphabetically the registry entries inside and rgu/reg file?
