Modify Cabs

Hi,
I have a cab file of Wm5torage which is asking about restart or not after installation, the problem is that i put this file in my extended rom, to make it installed after a hard reset.
The probleme is the question of restart or no, it hangs the installation.And I have to reboot it myself.
So i would like to know how to avoid this question by modifying the Cab.
Thanks for your futur answers

You can use MSCEInf (http://preview.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1519) to see what is inside a cab. Then you can repackage it yourself.
Cheers

Actually, it's not that simple in this case.
I was hoping the author of the program might see this post and answer you, but let me give it a shot for now.
The reset is done by the cabs setup.dll (it may have a different name inside the cab). Using MSCEInf markvan mentioned or CE Cab Manager (there is a demo version that will run 15 times) you can remove this dll from the cab. Trouble is it may contain other functionality (like reg settings) needed during the installation so the app won't install properly without it.
Sorry.

MSCEInf and SetupDLL.dll
Yes, i have omitted in the last version published of MSCEInf to extract the setup DLL, but the name of the setup DLL in the cab is always ".999". So, for now you can extract it by Winzip or Cabextract.
If there is no file with this extension, there is not setup DLL.
But in the tab : Generalities, you find the name of the setup DLL if it exists.
Future version of MSCEInf (vesion 1.4) will extract the setup DLL. This new version will also do these things :
- Drag and Drop from the Tab Files to the Explorer.
- Context Menu on Files in the Tab to open it with associated application or with Notepad.
- Use Names Folder for extracting.
- read also _setup.xml and do the same as for traditional INF and shows all things in the cab. It also rebuilds the traditional Inf from the XML.

when i use cabs in ext rom which require feedback from the user
and it dont respond to touchscreen i found that
i can just use the action button to choose which answer it should be

Hi,
I extracted the dll and used reshack to edit it but i just see 2 messages in
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
And i don't think that just remove the restart message will solve my prob.
If you have any other idea...

Dll resources have nothing to do with its activities.
The only way to replace it is to know exactly what it does either by asking the author or by viewing the source code (if available).
My advice is this: try installing without the dll. If the app works, then you can dump the dll all together, if not try contacting the program author for help.

Post the cab - i will have a go at modifying it for you - i think its the setup.xml that needs changing.
EDIT managed what you asked (omitted setup.dll and modified setup.xml)- can get rid of the destination dialog as well if you like assuming like me you always install to \program files\wm5torage. Just need to know what version you use.

hi,
thanks for help.I'm using the 1.71 of wm5torage.How to post the file?
bye
herc. 8)

Hi - i use 1.7 - if you want 1.71 you add it as an attachment to your post. It works as you want - do you want no destination dialog as well? I am at work at the moment - will post the modified cab tonight

Modified cab attached - its most up to date version 1.72.
mods are:
1. No setup.dll so no request to restart device (not required anyhow)
2. Installs shortcut to start menu\program files rather than start menu\accessories
3. Installs straight to \program files\wm5torage rather than having a destination dialog.

Many thanks for your help

1. Copy battery.dll into \windows\ folder
2. Install phcanOverbmp.dll which have 1% percent icons or copy phcanOverbmp.dll into \windows\ folder.
3. Install SDK Certificates.CAB
4. Make soft reset.
UNINSTALLING
1. RENAME battery.dll to any name, ex battery.d
2. Make soft reset.

OR IF IT IS TOO HARD USE CABBED VERSION by gtrab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514647
====================================================
Driver signed with SDK certificate, but if you have installed icons for 1%, so you have already installed and SDK certificate.
YOU know - you must replace phcanOverbmp.dll for check changes or look thru sktools :

If you are using CUSTOM ROM and it doesn't work you can upload your battery.dll here, also with battdrvr.dll. I'll take a look.

who made this app?

Does this works with WM6.5 ? I installed it and soft reset but nothing was changed.
EDIT: Now I can't delete it. It says "another process has locked a portion of the file". Any idea how I remove it?

I tested it and it works with 6.1 for sure.
I know to some people this is not important but i love that i can see the exact percentage of battery left.
Thanks Ethermind
btw, im using touch it v7 final, in case that makes a difference

Place it in windows foldr?

-Rename it from BATTERY.DLL to battery.dll
-look file properties: check read only/hidden/system file and uncheck archive
-place file in windows folder
-soft reset
-enjoy
Works for me with Touch-It v7 and TsowenTaskbar v5.1.7

Yes,i have tested it on my own 6.5 rom,and it works very well.
Thx Ethermind!! Good job!

Incredible dood! Tested and working PERFECTLY after installing SDKCerts.cab on my stock R1A X1i ROM. Been waiting for this since the X1 was released. MAD RESPEKTS!

going to try this out right now! yay =D

awesome work thx for this

Just a little problem: never show 100% even if battery is full load

cause it's beta testing : )
now i try to charge battery too.
i think i know where is the bug - a make jump to procedure on
if <=100% then ...
so i needs to make if <=99% because next instruction was special for 100%,
because 100% means finishing of charging...

please make this the main topic, I don't understand why there is another thread about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3755522#post3755522

doesn't work for me, i'm running gtrab's custom windows mobile 6.5 rom =/

I'm not able to edit the properties on the original battery.dll and thus cannot overwrite or delete it

If you are using CUSTOM ROM and it doesn't work you can upload battery.dll here, also with battdrvr.dll. I'll take a look.
If you CAN'T DELETE driver you must just RENAME it and make soft reset.

HI
Cant seem to get it working. Have sdkcert installed. renamed, updates attributes & replaced tin the windows folder.
But I still have the old battery icons?
(Xperia Rom R1AA017 Generic UK)

Try to use for overwriting Resco File Explorer or something else. Standart explorer does not allow to change ROM files.

Snow White + Charcoal 3G Dialpad for Trinty [UPDATED:10/3/2010]

After getting bored lately with the dialpad I had on my trinity, I was looking for alternatives. There are lots of nice dialers out there, but they simply won't work with our trinity. So I decided to make a new one...

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Main Features:
- modern look (at least I think so )
- based on phcanrc.dll from original PhoneCanvas_1.50.27317.0
- 3G Videotelephony and Smartdialing working
- works on Trinity, and maybe Hermes (please confirm)
- skin can be changed easily (tutorial soon)
- ext package for cooks (see post #2)
Installation instructions:
Just unzip and install cab on device
Known bugs and troubleshooting:
- some things in landscape are broken
- the dll is sdk signed, you may need sdkcerts.cab
- 3G Videotelephony and Smartdialing have to be in your rom already
- for working menus you also need the proper .mui files of the above
- I might release these extra files as a cab later on
- UPDATE 14.2.10: Added ext package package for cooks with Phone Canvas see post #2
- UPDATE 10.3.10: Added phcanOverbmp.dll, see post #3
Caveat:
Although it has been tested, I'm not responsible if you experience problems installing, running or uninstalling it. If you want to be safe, backup your device first.
Things to come:
- black version of the skin >> done, see attachments
- ext package for cooks >> see post #2
- maybe a new phcanoverbmp.dll >> see post #3
- skinning tutorial >> on user request only!
Users:
Enjoy, and give feedback in this thread
Cooks:
You can use it if you like it, as long as you:
- give credit to me
- link to this thread, so users can report bugs
Thanks:
narshorn for testing, cabbing, inspiration, everything else - and most of all: for being a friend.
Greetings:
duronmarcel, who did a great job with his dialers, and whose work inspired me (and i disassembled to find out how to do it)

If you feel like donating, go to the nAr&icke rom thread.

Tips for cooks
- Attached is the original trinity Phone Canvas_1.50.27317 with all muis I could get hold of: 0404/0407/0409/040C/0816 - you should know which one you need
- There are just the basic dlls included, to make a working dialer you will absolutely need a skin (like the one above). Just make an additional folder PhoneCanvas_skin, and put the registry file from the cab in it, and all other files in a subdirectory named "files". Be careful to cook the skin in after the PhoneCanvas, so that the phcanrc.dll of the skin and not the package is used.
Package content:
Code:
"PhoneCanvas"="1.50.27317.0"
"Smart_Dialing"="2.5.26736.0"
"VideoTelephony"="1.50.27147.0"
- Warning: Most kitchens have a phcanOverbmp.dll with some altered function in it, like improved battery status or whatever. If you want to keep your existing dll, cook it in after this package or just delete phcanOverbmp.dll from it.
- To enable/disable the dialer, you can change:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
A soft reset is required afterwards.

New phcanOverbmp.dll:
- only 82k filesize
- 10% battery bar
- wm6.5 like battery icons
- in-/outcall graphics from mega
- pin input pad from mega
Installation instructions:
I couldn't do a proper cab, so for now its just a zip file.

damn - very nice!
super gemacht!!!

great!
thank you so much

Awsome job, congrats Icke, it's so good to see that Trinity cooks can unite forces to get pleasant and 100% usable dialers ...
Let the Force be with you
brds,
nAr

simply terrific!

Brilliant!
Love your work icke!

DELETED DOUBLE POST (lol, I love your work so much I apparently hit "submit" twice )

Nice ones. I have another dialer, but the white one is good to have.

Just a little push: I added a new phcanoverbmp also, see post #3.

Cooking with Ervius Kitchen,CMD batch files and Mortscript

Hi, I propose this new thread for two things:
- Share my cooking method and asking for help in order to bring it to the next level.
- Share other cooking techniques based on EVK, and Mortscript and Batch Files automation.
So let's start:
The second post covers cooking icons with mortscript. The attachment below has all the code.
The fifth post covers my Ervis Visual Kitchen extrabuttons: Lots of automation for helping upgrade the kitchen, help cooking the rom and customizing the ppc.
The zip is in 4shared since has exes inside and can not be posted here.
Hopefully, some people will share other code and other ways of cooking. I would appreciate if somebody could help me to integrate this code in the kitchen batch file so that the mortscript would run once the temp/dump files where created but before building the nbh file.
I cheer everibody to post links or code to other batch/cmd scripts that help automation when cooking.

Cooking icons with Mortscript at 1st boot (no files in windows folder)
I was looking for a way to cook shortcuts that:
1) did not overload windows directory
2) was "easy" to mantain (in terms of folders, rank & icons definition)
3) contributed to reduce errors
4) was simple to attach to any EVK kitchen
How I do it?
- On the pc side, I use mortscript to generate automatically a few provxml files that create shortcuts and asign icons, rank and group. Is a two-steps process: 1) I cook the rom, 2) run a ppc mortscript that inspects the dump directory and creates the code only for the exe and mscr files present in the temp\dump folder and zips and copies Icons to the appropiate kitchen EXT folders. It also zips and copies icons to be used on the ppc side 3) I re-cook the rom. Standard windows png are currently stored in the usual windows directory but bonus shortcuts (shortcuts to ext rom packages, to self made scripts, etc) are created in a specific directory out of the windows directory.
- On the ppc side, I use mortscript to generate automatically control panel shortcuts, mortscript shortcuts, shortcuts to main memory programs and shortcuts to sd programs that do not need reinstallation after flashing.
I publish my code as it is now. I start with the basic scripts but will keep adding material if interest is risen.

I will reserve 3 posts that I will update with contributions to the thread, if any.

Cruiserrr's EVK Extrabuttons
Hi, I have build a little scheleton where I keep on adding the different tools I use in my Roms cooking:
backup the kitchen or parts of it,
download/upload files to the ppc to test,
create build version and date provxml files,
optimize png
import sys (currently da_g structure)
play with the ppc: sync the time, show/kill processes, run programs, reboot
recmod, ...
create .erv file from the latest build cooked

You simply have to download the file and extract it to your extrabuttons folder (please be aware the zip has an extrabuttons ini file that should not be copied but adapted to yours)
Hope you find it useful, you discover tools you did not now of and of couse I post it hoping some other people will share their scripts so we can all benefit from it.

What this moertscripts code do??
And how to cook them??

P/S: Sorry for my very bad English...

will try and report
thanks dude

Looks good.
installing it...
Hope battery performance is better than others.

Flashed successfully.
Looked good overall. I could not understand one thing... why most of these roms display bigger fonts and have too much spacing in between two lines.
I understand windows 6.5 is more finger friendly. But its big everywhere. even where not required. Can this be controlled?
I noticed one thing about this rom.... Ringer volume is lowered down than before.
Thanks for the rom.

battery performance
how is battery performance?

The Battery life is good after 2 days used, more than 1 and haft day with normal use. Best ROM ever of lecamtram series

Did not work for my touch viva. Hangs lot of times. Apps did not start well.
e.g. settings > today did not even start, and hanged up the phone.

I did hard reset after installed D22 version at the first time. It still work well until now.
