[TOOL] "The Unbelievably Awesome Package Sorter!" (OEM To EXT) v1.1.5 - Windows Mobile

I believe this screenshot is REALLY, REALLY self-explanatory (also notice how the words in package names are also splitted, like AdobePDF becoming "Adobe PDF" and aGPSConfirmation becoming "aGPS Confirmation", it's so awesome that it detects all the words!). This is also the first tool to do all the necessary initflashfiles.dat and config.txt files splitting.

}
How to use:
Put the EXE where the OEM folder is and then double-click on it, or drag&drop the OEM folder on the EXE (the EXT folder will be created where the EXE is located unless you specify another destination using command line parameters).
Command line syntax (All parameters are optional, including the paths that will default to "OEM" and "EXT" if missing):
Syntax: "The Awesome Package Sorter.exe" [/UseUnderscores] [/Quiet|/Q] [/WriteIndex] [/StripComments] [/OriginalName] [/InternalName] [/NoSplitting] [/SkipNeutralPackages] [/DeleteDSMFiles] [OEMFolderPath] [EXTFolderPath]
/UseUnderscores to have the tool rename all the packages with underscores instead of spaces at the end of the conversion
/Quiet or /Q to enable the quiet mode where only error messages will be shown
/WriteIndex to write a packages index in the EXT folder
/StripComments to save the initflashfiles.dat in OEM_Lang_XXXX with all the comment lines removed
/OriginalName uses the original package name with only the device part removed (like PACKAGE_ManilaCore_1_0_0_0)
/InternalName is like /OriginalName but without the "PACKAGE_" prefix and uses space instead of underscore to separate the name from the version (you can use /UseUnderscores to suppress this)
/NoSplitting turns the file initflashfiles.dat/config.txt splitting off
/SkipNeutralPackages leaves all the packages that don't start with PACKAGE_ in the OEM folder
/DeleteDSMFiles deletes all the DSM files from the packages
Note:
It doesn't have an user-interface, it only shows messageboxes however it will tell you when it starts and when it ends or if there is any issue. It's based on the osKitchen guaranteed file operations engine so nothing will break if the folders are locked.
This and more wonderful automatic package importing functions are now available in the latest osKitchen!

Interesting tool...will give a spin...thx...

Nice to know this thanks AirXtreme hope many ppl can see this.... will u post it in the repository kitchen tool by souchef? please
Here is the link... its a pleasure that you all are making this kind of tools and even better including them into the OSkitchen
Keep it up

Thanks Airxtreme, it´s a super fast tool.
Cheers.

Great tools....thank u doctor airxtreme

Thanks for this Bro

How about a tool like this that does OEM to OEM for chefs that use OEM format. What I mean is to combine the lang pack with the common pack and rename the package with the version info (like with EXT packages), but still retain OEM format?

I notice the 0409 folder does not have a "files" subfolder and the rgu stays a rgu file, but in one of my importing an official ROM to oskitchen created the files subfolder. Also, my kitchen run has the rgu converted to an app.reg in 0409 and it seems to work.
Are you in the process of changing the formats?

No, I forgot to apply the ext formatting to subfolders. I uploaded a fixed version in the first post.

New beta3 that fixes an issue where empty LCID folders were left behind. Thanks to OndraSter for reporting the issue!

Thanks for the awesome tool airxtreme....you sure make cooking fun ...

Great tool! Is there anyway to have it use _ instead of spaces? I use some .cmd files and the spaces break it.

You can enclose the directory names in batch/cmd files with double quotes to avoid issues with spaces in the file/directory names.

Not I can't, because many of my scripts use for loops with %%a where I do some parsing. It's also cleaner naming in my opinion with _'s instead of spaces in my folder.

I added a new version with the /UseUnderscores command line switch

Awesome! Btw, I'm loving the new osKitchen. With the new dump tool, it seems to build better than EVK did (plus, I don't have to worry about java crapping out on me!).

Sorry for another request, but would it be possible for it only to show dialog boxes if there were errors?

Done. I released a new version with the /Quiet (or /Q) switch.

The Unbelieveably Awesome Package Sorter just got more unbelievably awesome!

Hey, I've been thinking about this for a while, but I don't know the easiest way to do it. Would it be possible, with a given initflashfiles.dat, that it could create app.dat's for you in the EXT folders? All it would have to do is parse the initflashfile lines, find the file, and locate the file in whatever EXT package it was in.
It's not really a request (because it would be a GIANT pain in the ass), but if you wanted another cool tool to work on, it may have it's own interesting challanges... Just a thought.

Ive Just released version 1.1, it now can convert old style to visual, batch convert old style to visual and you can change the language code.
Thanks for program, man!
I start convert all packs manually, but then found your wonderful solution!
I guess all russian HTC Jade users, which wants WM6.5 RUS told thank you
Version 1.2 Out Now
Renames app.dat to initflashfiles.txt, forgot to in last one
Add option to generate dsm for a selected folder
nice one!!!
just one bug....modules are not placed inside the \pkg-name\files\ in OTV
also. instead of deleting the dsm and rgu, maybe leving them in \pkg-name\ and in \pkg-name\0409\ would be a better choice
Thanks for the bug report agent_47, i'll get that fixed.
thanks mate, I was really wishing for a batch reverse-converter
Big thanks!

Would be great to add a CAB conversion option too; one that also parses the XML portion of the cab and dumps in EXT files folder.
Eg, I tried converting dcd's carrier cabs using other batch tools, and while they process the main cab components, the pre/post xml was not touched, and thus the resulting EXTs were useless until I added the mxipupdate/mxipinit .provxml files.
Also, drag and drop would be nice feature
I've tried several "batch conversion tools, and this one looks most promising.
Thanks!!
is there a tutorial for how to use the tool? I mean how does the old package and visual package looks like? sorry...am a noob
Great application indeed!!!
I was looking for this application since ages.
I can convert EXT packages to old style package.
thanks a lot...

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.

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??

[Tool]App.Dat Creator (from InitFlashFiles.dat) (beta .95)

"The Unbelievably Awesome Package Sorter!" by airxtreme has this built in the sorter now. Please use that as it will probably do a better job.
This is a little tool I created to create app.dat's from an initflashfile.dat.
How to use: After dumping your nbh or os.nb, run a program to create your EXT's, "The Unbelievably Awesome Package Sorter!" by airxtreme does an awesome job (go figure with it's name). Then just move the initflashfile.dat from the oem/oem_lang_xxx folder to the root of the ext folder. This tool will work with any kitchen that uses EXT's, you just need to put it and the initflashfile in the root EXT folder. Example:
{
"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"
}
It will run, and will pop up a message box letting you know when it's done. It will log what it's doing (what app.dat's it's creating or appending to) like this:
I have not tested it with non WWE roms, but it should work fine. This is a nice tool to get some of the app.dat work out of the way, it's not a final solution for EXT packages. This will append to app.dat's that it finds, so if you already have an app.dat, it will add the stuff from initflashfiles to the end.
Let me know if this tool doesn't work for you, or what you think of it.

You probably missed that but my package sorter already does initflashfiles.dat/config.txt files splitting like you asked and also moves any initflashfiles.dat to App.Reg as well so using this tool with it would probably be a bit redundant but I think that if you can adapt this to work on ervius kitchen folder layout its users would be very happy.
I just ran your package sorter and I didn't see any App.dat's created. This tool should work with any EXT folder structure. Theoretically I could also add initflashtile.txt support pretty easily (for those running osBuilder).

Are you sure you are using a recent version? The files splitting turns itself off if there are errors in the file but I added it the day after you asked for the feature since I had the code already written.

What I meant is that you put the tool in the ervius kitchen root folder and when you launch it it finds all the OEM_Lang_XXXX folders and split all the entries in the EXT packages LCID subfolders without having to move anything.

Just tried it again with 1.0.4. I do use the /UseUnderscores and /q switch, so maybe that's what causes it not to print out app.dats? I'll try it without the switches later.
Hmm, that is an interesting idea about using different locale folders for the app.dat, I'll have to think about it.
Edit: I tried it again without any switches, and it will doesn't add app.dat's.

A quick test, it works with airxtreme's OsKitchen Zero 1.31b1, not with the Awesome Package Sorter 1.04. Maybe he missed something.

Ya, when import an OS.nb. I've just downloaded his kitchen to test this feature as I can't get it to work with the APS 1.04.
Ahh, this tool (in my mind) is more for when you download a new rom for a different device and just want to move new EXT folders over. If it gets put into his sorter, I will probably stop this project since I have fairly sloppy coding, and his will be more efficient.

The kitchen was skipping errors while the tool wasn't and the OBOE rom like the Rhodium ones is full of wrong entries. I turned error skipping on the tool too so now it should work fine on rhodium and OBOE roms as well (but when using /StripComments the invalid lines won't be saved).

Hi Airextreme
Would it be possible for you to put links to your ever-growing tools collection in your signature?
Thanks for all the work and creations by the way.
Cheers
Thanks, for this
Seems very very useful. Thanks for sharing....
Didn't try yet but sounds good and very usefull.
Thanks Airxtreme
It would be really helpful if all these tools could be combined into 1 single gui... I am working on this now...and also for the reg validator it would be great if it could scan recursively a folder and validate all reg files in it instead of single files ( I am creating the workaround for this in the GUI )
@airxtreme : Is it possible that the application can return the result as string instead of popup... ?

I am working on this now...and also for the reg validator it would be great if it could scan recursively a folder and validate all reg files in it instead of single files ( I am creating the workaround for this in the GUI )

I didn't add a GUI because since the kitchen already scans all the packages for invalid registry entries it would have been redundant to have another GUI to do the same but feel free to write one if you want, it certainly wouldn't hurt.

@airxtreme : Is it possible that the application can return the result as string instead of popup... ?

I don't know what you mean with string but I added a commandline version that you can run from your application. If you want I can directly send you the c# class file that does all the checking so you can build a standalone registry scanner without having to launch the tool for each file.
Ok...thanks the command line version should be perfect... I personally found so many errors in the registry ...lol
Thanks a bunch for the tool !

Hi,
I know this post is old but I was looking for a .reg file validator so I found the thread. :angel:
I've removed lot of lines from a reg file with Regex and wanted to validate the output and everything was fine (as it should be) according to the validator But right after I tried it again with a complete export of a Reg Key from Windows 10 that I know good and it throw some errors like:
Code:
Error at line 5825: the registry value type specified next to the hexadecimal values prefix is not recognized as a valid registry value type.
Error at line 5826: the registry entry was not recognized.
And there is no error, so I'd like to know if you have a more recent/updated version somewhere.
It would be useful to double check when editing manually and also when I extract some part/value of the registry to be sure formatting is fine.
Also the pop up don't work when the error log is to big I had to Copy the output of the Validator with CTRL-C and paste it in my editor to see them
Best Regards !
bug(version): Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
Sorry, I can't add links and images to my reply due to restrictions for new users.
1. Summary
If Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 in file beginning, Registry File Validator show an error:
Error at line 1: the registry entry was not recognized

Click to collapse
Unfortunately, the source code of the program is not open, and I can't fix this bug.
2. Argumentation
“Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00” RegistryEditorVersion required for Windows 2000 and above.
Without this line we can't, for example, merge my KiraREG.reg file via reg import KiraREG.reg or regedit /S KiraREG.reg commands.
3. Data
Example valid D:\SashaTwickenham\KiraREG.reg file:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"uTorrent"=-
4. Steps to reproduce
I downloaded and unpacked Registry File (.REG) Validator v1.00beta2 → I ran command:
Code:
"Registry Files Validator.exe" D:\SashaTwickenham\KiraREG.reg
5. Expected behavior
No errors.
6. Actual behavior
Error at line 1: the registry entry was not recognized

Thanks.
