Ok guys, i've been using the Molski.Biz HTC Wizard Custom Rom Cooking Pack and started to create my own rom. I was quite tired to create/modifing the initFlashFile.dat file every time by hand.
So i created this little tool. It will regenerate automaticaly the structure and will merge it with the original initFlashFile.dat.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Requirement : Java Runtime (exe should indicate if it's needed or not)
Usage :
1 - modify the initFlashFileGenerator.bat and provide the good uri for 3 variables
set ROOT=C:\DEVPACK\ROMDUMP\root"
set INPUT="C:\DEVPACK\ROMDUMP\dump\initflashfiles.dat"
set OUTPUT="initflashfiles.dat"
ROOT : containe the file structure you want to integrate
INPUT : The original initflashfiles.dat
OUTPUT : The generated initflashfiles.dat (original merged with the discovered structure provide by INPUT)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2 - run the .bat file
3 - replace the original initflashfiles.dat with the new one
4 - You will need to copy all the new files from the root directory (and sub content too) into the C:\DEVPACK\ROMDUMP\dump\ to be able to recreate a working rom
You'll also find the initflashfilegenerator.excluded. It's not really usefull except if you want to exclude directory creation
(Don't forget to double every \ in every path)
NOTE : \Windows will never be "created in" and files inside \Windows\ either but all subdirectories will generated
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hope it helps, any comment or feature idea will be appreciate
Source will not be publish mainly because it's crappy one... But usage of this tool is free !
Wow....sounds great!
Gonna test it out and add it to the pack in a couple of days!
Thanks,
Molski

NOTES
=====
1. This cab will install the following
icon.dll (required for the icons to your windows directory)
Folders with my icons to your start->programs menu
2. The folders that will be installed have been given an ENGLISH name. If you have your default folders in another language, you will end up with your original ones PLUS my own folders.
===================
CUSTOMIZE YOUR FOLDERS
===================
1. Using a file explorer navigate to /windows/start menu/programs
2. Every folder (from my skin, has its own icon.lnk file. You can copy that to any folder you like to give it the same icon
3. Put that mess in a nice organized order!!!

Thanks, they are cool. looks great with the new rhodium icons.
Thanks
Excellent. These might end up in my ROM, if I can get evrything else working. Seems like nobody wants to share the Rhodium commanager, which is all I need to make more progress. Thumbs up
Here's some I put together. Not quite as nice, but effective.
Same install instuctions as Gianni86's folder icons.

Name : htc programs
Size : 150kb
Info : 3X FASTER than the original program folder
Comparing Video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWlZC_ZPIXA
so now i need your help to change the original programs folder path to this EXE
YOU NEED TO TRY IT
installing: unzip it and copy it anywhere in your diamond and make shortcut to startmenu
Very smooth indeed. Nice one mate.
Got a question though. How do you create a shortcut in the start menu to a program like this that hasn't been installed?
look at this - Link Creator 1.3 ... it should do the job... (if u are using english rom)
Wonderful
Is there the settings.exe?
I think this is the same as something that should already be on your phone. Check in \Windows for a file called folderview.exe (it's on my Fuze and I presume it's in Diamond's as well). I've seen this in the past since the tweak to get 4 columns in the programs directory will not work for this file. What I've done n the past is set this as a soft key to make it quicker to get to.

Renaming this file to folderview.exe and cooking it in the ROM overwriting the existing file wont help?

This How To will show you step by step how to create a cab file.
You can cab up anything you want to put on your phone in ANY directory...
Cab Manager Program
I use and recommend WinCE Cab Manager (Get it HERE)
it has a 30 day free trial and is $99 after that...
Sure there are more out there... Feel free to Post
Getting Started
First you will need a file to cab. We will start with a basic single manila file.
i have attached one if you don't already have..
* Here you can simply add a document/picture to your my documents folder
After Installing Open WinCE Cab Manager
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Enter Name's for Company and whatever cab your making
Just Click Next..
Just Click Next Again....
And now click finish...
Now this should be what you have. Displays all info for cab file
Now we need to add the files.
From windows explorer just click and drag the files right on top of Files...
Once you do that the following dialog box pops up...
Here you can change name or attributes
Click Location tab
Here you can choose what directory to put file(s) in. you can also add a new folder
Click Ok
Now back at main screen
Here you can "Allow Uninstall"
also you can Compress
I recommend compressing for files over a meg or two
From the menu click CABINET...PROPERTIES...
Here you can change ALL properties of cab file
Click OK...
Back at the Main Screen...
All left to do is review and Save
You can also add Shortcuts and make changes to the registry...
Now to Save...Choose location and SAVE!

Hmmm... We need something like this impleted in apkmanager... Looks great amresh!
worked like a charm, thanks a ton amresh
Man thats great thanx!
Senergized in 3D
Can't believe I haven't thanked you yet. I've been using this for about a month now, and one thing everyone should know, is this tool has an extra advantage. Contrary to the m10 Editor UI Application, this script uses straight command line which makes all of your sense 3.0 m10 images decode with the same file name every time, where as the UI will give you random file names every time. And this is way simpler
Amresh, This was an ingenious idea and I can't thank you enough!

About
First of all, the reason that this program took this much time to come out is because my career-deciding exams where on. So I'm sorry about that.
The newest edition features a GUI - like UI that helps user to easily create new projects (for rom or collection of apps) and manage them.
With the new algorithm the for compression you can ensure that almost all of your apps get compressed successfully! You just have find the perfect set of settings for that particular app. Use it ti compress apps and get a performance boost for your phone as well as save some space!
Setting Up your PC!
Note: You can skip this step if you already have Java installed on your PC, or you don't want to use the Sign Apk setting for compression.
Download The following resources first:
Java SE Run-time Environment 7 [ Java Dependencies For Signing APK tool ]
Now let's begin setting up your PC,
Install the above mentioned programs.
Go to Advanced System Properties.
It looks like this:
Go to Environment Variables, then create a new System Variable, having name JAVA_HOME and value as the path where you have installed the JRE.
It looks like this:
Now after creating the JAVA_HOME variable, search for Path system variable in the System Variables list. Now this is a bit tricky. Once found click on it and then on Edit. Move the cursor to the end of the string till you see ";" (without quotes), add the path to your JRE bin folder just after it.
It looks like this:
Manual for Cassini.1.2 - Information about the program.
Include this in your signature if you like and support Cassini and you are using the apps compressed by Cassini!
:good: Hit thanks if you liked it! :good:
