(Formerly "Dump Sorter" and "XipDumpSort")
New and Improved - Much more functionality than the old one!
I'm trying to make this a general cleaning\sorting\worker app for processing dumped folders. If you'd like a feature added, please let me know.
What is it?
This is a simple program designed to take the hard work out of rearranging, cleaning and merging dumped ROMs with Kitchens.
What can it do?
Clean - Removed all files with the same name as their directories (This is very useful when converting files to modules)
Sort - Files and Folders can be sorted by:
Ervius Kitchen's folder format
osKitchen's folder format
By comparing to a donor folder (should work with any kitchen)
Unsort from:
Ervius Kitchen's folder format
osKitchen's folder format
Merge missing file and folders from a donor directory (useful when the dump is missing files\folders) (SVN Directories are ignored ('.svn' and '_svn'))
How to install
Click the 'Install' button at http://vidmes.com/dumpsorter/publish.htm
(In order to use the 'launch' link, you need to be using IE)
(Alternatively, just use the zip below)
Notes
Merging is done last, so if the donor directory is 'dirty', this 'dirt' will be copied across
This requires .NET 3.5
Also attached is the source code (for anybody interested) - the project was built using Visual Studio 2010, so it may not open in older versions of VS
Known Issues
Things to do

Ability to pull data from archives (eg zip, rar and 7 zip)

Initial release
thanx Mr Moderator
its very usefull
WOW!! This is an awesome tool. I'm definitely gonna be giving it a try. Thanks
EDIT: Works perfect
This thing is awesome. It's perfect for organizing SYS folders for any kitchen based on ervius's visual kitchen.
Hello,
Thanks for this tool, it's really nice!!!
Just small thing added to your code :
Code:
void bgwDoSorting_ProgressChanged(object sender, ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
{
txtLog.Text = (string)e.UserState;
pgbrStatus.Value = (e.ProgressPercentage > 100) ? 100 : e.ProgressPercentage;
}
and :
Code:
//old : bgwDoSorting.ReportProgress(workDone * 100 / workTotal);
bgwDoSorting.ReportProgress(workDone * 100 / workTotal, result);
I also reverse the log to have latest lines on top (log+newline instead of newline+log)
Thanks for the great job!!
very nice, thanks for sharing!

I was considering that, but I think you'll find it will run a bit slower (due to having to constantly update the log box). Then again, if you have a dual processor machine (and who doesn't?), you probably won't notice a difference.
Any chance someone would also be interested in writing a batch file or simple program to delete duplicate files inside of a folder? ie: if there happened to be files inside of the module folder as well as the actual module files. So for example "tapres.dll" module folder for some reason has "tapres.dll" file inside. Would need to got hrough whole SYS though.
I am testing it now....
Pretty cool set of resources...thanks
Point of Sale.

Sure
Maybe I can change my sorter into a cleaner as well...
Any other 'common tasks' I should include?
Perhaps a tool to merge missing folders into the sorted folder? (eg if the new SYS or OEM is missing stuff from the old one)

Good ideas...
Maybe I add one : default template folder, for example specify DPI, RESV/H and Lang code(s) then go should be usefull when adding a new language to an existing kitchen who don't have the full folder structure yet for the new language
If you need help do not hesitate!
PS: about performance, as you said everyone have dualcore computers at least so backgroundworker + log refresh is not slowing the process, and if it is it's not really visible (I'm not working on 1000000 files for 1000 languages so...)
I've rebuilt the backend to be more 'flexible' (ie custom workers and sorters).
I will build the cleaner and the extra sorter some time soon and have it posted up - don't expect anything too soon though...
Attached is the updated source code
(You should be able to tweak the .sln file to work in Visual Studio 2008)
Very good application but I can not use it, can you set it to work with .NET 2 ?

Because .Net3.5 has big size for me and members like me to download and install and if I install it, can I remove my .NET2 and .NET1 or need them too for other programs?
Now I have .NET1,2,3 but not .NET3.5
.Net 3.5 include 2.0 but you don't need to remove 2.0 before installing 3.5...
If you use windows update it will be big but not as big as if you download the full package from microsoft (it will just take kind of missing parts)
I like the way microsoft made all this framework, you can setup 3.5 without any problem to your existing 2.0 (or 1.1) applications.....more and more programs are using it so it's not a time loosing install for me..
New version released!
Dump Sorter now has all of the features requested.
From the changelog:

Nice i saw your announcement in the release and came to see it... downloading and testing in the next release i seton the kitchen... maybe the tutorials will be useless ... Thanks a lot man!!!
hey there
Thanks for this update, will test today...
Missing screenshots on 1st post lol
what about using ClickOnce so we can have auto updates of the program? If you need help hosting I may help.... I love programs I like to be auto updated and it's really a small thing to do with VS (never tested with 2010)
Keep the good work, looks like we are coming to a complete "pre-kitchen tool"....
[UC]XDA_UC V2.RC1, Automated & Silent User & Cook, Configuration Service[14/05/10]
V2.RC1 Update,... New AutoShortcut Commands, new SDConfig.txt Commands, Manual and Storage Card install folders added, Extra parameters for Cooks.
I'll be updating all documentation accordingly later today.
Another (The?) new way to implement User Customization and Cooking.
This Thread is meant for Rom Cooks.
Users should take a look at the User To User Tips, Tricks ideas and issues thread.
What the XDA UC service does, is silently install (or not so silently if needed by User), .cab, .xdas, .xml, .reg, .mscr, copy over user manila files, install files from SDconfig.txt if wanted and then a few extra's for the freaks like copying folders or creating shortcuts from specific registries. This happens either at first or second boot depending on the existence of either RunCC.exe or Autorun.exe in rom.
It's all Mortcsript so it's very easy to get a grasp of it and change the behaviour and or Chip in adjustments/improvements.
But no knowledge of mortscript is needed to implement
It Uses DotFred's Taskmanager to parse and implement the .reg and .xml files. But it can also be used to disable or enable services or register DLL files.
More Information about the XDA Type Files at:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ename=XDA_file
My Shout out for this Two Year Long Evolving Collaborating Endeavour go to:
Bengalih (that has a very similar UC variant called Sashimi and helped with some of the early scripts I was trying to do with mort while cooking, I wish I could have collaborated more with him, it would have saved time re-inventing the wheel), RoryB for bouncing back ideas, supplying new scripts and perfecting older ones, serfer222 For making the script compacter, jmckeejr, Ameet & the whole Digital XDA SPC Cooking Crew, bbobeckyj, CLHatch, Scinor, Mort, Sleuth255, McCune, DotFred, MrVanx, danny_and_2, Cmonex, utak3r, Laurentius26, Radimus, and the Whole Original SPC Crew for accepting my obsessions.
For Knowingly helping me get the information, unknowingly helping me get the information or motivated me in keep going on in my Quest resulting in this.
If I Forgot you, Forgive me.
If you feel that certain information that has been used originated by you give me a holler and I will credit you if this is so.
Before you consider buying me a beer. Please consider Donating to XDA to help out with the maintenance of the forum and get cool stars next to your Nickname showing your appreciation. Then there are always the people that without their apps this wouldn't have been possible at all that you can consider showing some love. Mort, DotFred & Sleuth255 All of whom made Apps Seemingly simple But oh so useful for the whole XDA and PocketPC community.
Download and Info in next Post
What this version of the XDA UC service does, is silently install and execute (listed in the order the items get installed)
Run the Users customisations of course.
User side information here...
Run Cook.mscr in Windows folder(For Cooks Only)
More Cook info coming.
Add native support for .mscr, .mortrun, .xda, xdai, xdas & .xdaz files
(Where in "\Storage Card\" is read from HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory For MultiLanguage Support)
Requirements
The Rom should have the security relaxed in HKLM\Security\Policies\Polices by setting the value 0000101a to a 1.
So unsigned installations and Mortscript do not give a security error.
If you have a different language then English, don't forget to change the path in the initflashfiles.txt/app.dat file (if your using legacy kitchen )
The rest of the script should dynamcliy get the correct variable for the storage location.
In the end the process it comes down to the device starting after flashing and not needing any reboot while silently installing Cook and User configurations.
On the User end and cook end no SDConfig.txt ort config.txt file is needed.
Attached the OEM Package and a Sample Package for SD.
(Klaxon.Cab, GoogleMaps.xdas, two .reg files, two xml files, my.tsk, and a test mortscript)
The Control factors of the Sample SD Package is that is should install
HKLM\Software\XDA\Test\Reg 1 Parsed=1
HKLM\Software\XDA\Test\Reg 2 Parsed=1
HKLM\Software\XDA\Test\xml1parsed=1
HKLM\Software\XDA\Test\xml2parsed=1
These are the tweaks present in those files.
In addition everything installed will be found under
HKLM\Software\XDA\UC\
And the Morscript in the sample SD Card Package should give a message to confirm it was executed "Mort UC From SD Working"
Cab Files and XDAS files should eventually just be in the startMenu Programs.
G-Alarm is there because it needs User interaction and that will pop up when it needs your attention.
At the end of it all you get a message Installations have finished.
When using SDConfig.txt be sure to add a blank line at the end of it.
Disclaimer:
Please be aware that the XDA_UC script contains a disclaimer, not to post errors with it to the Mortscript forums, and the usual this **** cloud be dangerous to your phones health.
For Standalone version, place XDA_UC folder from "User_Storage Card" on Storage Card.
Then run "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Install\XDA_UC.exe"

V 1.0.01
Changed Sleep to start UC to 50 seconds for full device Boot before UC starts.
Changed "XDA UC Service Start" title to "customization" to match the old one.
Changed sleep before completion message to ten second in case the last cab needs user input and the Completion message pops up to early.
Changed Sleep at while for Theme installation to 2 seconds.
V 1.0.02:
Added Copy1 to Copy2 by reading from registry settings
[HKLM\Software\XDA\DirCopy]
"\\Storage Card\\Some Folder"="\\My Documents\\Some Folder"

There is no longer the need for two separate XDA_UC versions let alone a third.
.reg and .xml files will no be sent to renamed taskmanager "FS_TaskMgr.exe"
Added checking for cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\SD\", for those that don't have the luxury of changing the install paths in a cab file to hardcode these to Storage Card. So you get full user input to choose on these cabs.

Kill("cprog.exe")
EndIf
During SDConfig.txt just before cpy1, cpy2 function.
V 1.1.1B3:
Mayor overhaul by new script from Serfer222
And then I started adding more crap and messing the new clean code up.
XCP1 & XCP2 commands for SDConfig.txt (Folder Copy with SDConfig.txt)
MCAB command for SDConfig.txt (Cabs that you want manual input for during SDConfig.txt)
SCAB command for SDConfig.txt (Cabs that you want installed to SD SemiAutomaticly during SDConfig.txt)
SC1 & SC2 commands for SDConfig.txt (Shortcut creation with SDConfig.txt)
KILL command for SDConfig.txt (Kill a running .exe/process)
EXEC: command for SDConfig.txt (Was already present but i removed the checking if the file is a .exe so anything can be executed and)
Del: Command for SDConfig.txt
.PROVXML now also get parsed in XDA_UC folder
Changed Serfer222's fix to parse mail xml files before PimBackup to "*mail*.*xml" so now if there's a file containing mail anywhere or is a .provxml get's parsed before PimBackUp.
RESET command for SDConfig.txt
WR1: & WR2: commands to write files using SDConfig.txt
Parse File containing "WiFi in it's name" Early like MyHomeWiFi.xml or MyHomeWiFi.provxml
Add a script to run and add XDA_UC to rom's without it.
"Manual" Folder in XDA_UC folder for Full Manual .cab Installs
"Storage Folder in XDA_UC folder for Semi Silent .cab installs to Storage
Early "*wifi*.*xml" parsing from XDA_UC for quick Wifi connecting.
Eauh maybe i forgot some stuff....
Bug Tracker for last Beta.
Wrong code for the WR1: & WR2: commands (Updated Beta Download with Fixed Script)
WR1: command needs a delete or else the next time it is run it will add text to the file instead of write a new one. Working on Fix. Fix Updated in original Download.
Changed XCP1: XCP2: commands into MOV1: & MOV2: to avoid confusion with CPY1: & CPY2: (TNX RoryB good one) Updated in original Beta Download.
Other Updates I'm looking into All Beta:
Changed Manila/Sense Script so it now Checks for manila.reg @ "\Storage Location\XDA_UC\Copy2Root\Windows\manila.reg" and runs the reg from there.
Test everything again
More optimisation of the code suggested by Serfer222
Call for Sashimi & PresetInstaller, so having Making an XDA UC Rom doesn't force users switching their preferred UC Setup.
Add DELT: command
Config.txt for Cooks (May not be included as it is partly redundant)
SDAutorun replacement without SDAutorun.exe
Information will be added about this in the future.
Some more changes to my method I thought I would share.
Run the items in SDConfig.txt without using SDAutorun. I do not have any tsk to run, but it would work the same. I put copy first since some EXECs like xcopy need to be copied before execution.
Code:

I have a mortscript I call user_C.mscr for some customizations that I used EXEC to run, but thought this way people could have multiple scripts.

ForEach xscriptfile in Files( "\Storage Card\SDAUTO\*.mscr" )
CallScript( xscriptfile )
sleep( 3000 )
EndForEach
EndIf
Lastly, I have this final folder to hold cab files I want to install with user input. It also has a script to cleanup a few things from the cab install.
Code:
If( DirExists( "\Storage Card\SDAUTO\Final Files" ))
ForEach xcabfile in Files( "\Storage Card\SDAUTO\Final Files\*.cab" )
Runwait( "\Windows\wceload.exe", "/nodelete " & [COLOR=blue]"""" & [/COLOR]xcabfile [COLOR=blue]& """"[/COLOR] )
While( ProcExists ( "wceload.exe" ))
sleep( 3000 )
endwhile
EndForEach
ForEach xscriptfile in Files( "\Storage Card\SDAUTO\Final Files\*.mscr" )
CallScript( xscriptfile )
sleep( 3000 )
EndForEach
EndIf
I had to set config.txt to hide the overlay image and not lock the screen to allow seeing the messages and responding to them. Eventually I see this changing to have the first script copied to start up folder by an initflashfile and not even need AutoRun. Currently config.txt starts the mortscript and does nothing else.
Cook.mscr
If your cooking and want your own mortscript to also be run at first boot just name it cook.mscr and put it into Windows folder.
Update: From Version 1.2.0 Cook.mscr will be executed at the same moment as the rest of XDA_UC, so this is depended on if RunCC or Autorun is used.
Suggestion:
install the cabs in a known order, perhaps alphabetically, so that we can name the files in the order to install like so
10_MSVC.CAB
20_PIMBackup.Cab
etc means we can control the install order.
Reason I chose not to use the known "Cabs" folder is not to screw with that configuration.
(XDA_UC is backwards compatible with SDAutorun v2 SDConfig.txt)
Cabs will be automatically be parsed alphabetically that's a default when more cab's are being processed.
At least I think so
It's using MortScripts ForEach File command.
Almost Everything processed will be written to registry under.
HKLM\Software\XDA\UC
And no more hassle with cabs that need user interaction.
You just interact when they come up.
If it's a good idea I could also make it check for a present Welcomehead.png or the Existence of a TF3D folder to copy over personal TF3D files.
Uploaded the OEM and a Sample SD Test Package.
is there a way this could be done without removing the RUNCC?
Yes there is.
There's a few different solutions.
I have added your request to the first Posts.
It runs at second boot and skips a few things that RunCC takes care of like installing cabs present in the windows folder.
This way you can keep everything is with RunCC and the welcome.lnk in initflashfiles.dat
Personally I prefer the First method with no reboots at all but it does require some extra meddling in the Rom.
Hello,
I have some questions...

Noonski said:
This didn't work in earlier versions i had my hands on.
Click to expand...

Which version is this? 1.0.9.0?
RunCC can execute the same commands in config.txt? (EXEC, TSK, XML, CAB...)
I have yet to get a hold of the version l3v5y's using.
Yes RunCC can but it needs configuration. Now for a cook that isn't any problem. But for Simple users all they need to do is drop some cabs and tweaks they have collected throughout the forum into a folder not be annoyed by.
I posted a rom already that has runcc installing from sdcard's config.txt. Not too difficult at all, wonder why more cooks don't figure it out.
Because Earlier releases of RunCC from leaked roms did not except these commands.
I have just extracted a version of it from an official Rom and it's got the same version i was using before 1_0_9_0
So weird that it is now accepting it.
But looking back i did not use the addrun("RunExtra"
I did try the Run customer, and default tho.
(Slaps in his forehead)
But it's still not the same as i'm trying to offer here.

What you're trying to offer here is IMHO a far better solution!
Sorry for not getting you my tweaked package, though you seem to have managed without...
I think having a complete solution, with automated install of all cabs in a folder would be great.
Well i also needed to Scour the new Roms for some updated OEMS and i needed to know for sure that welcomehead.192.png was named that way to add it to the process.
And maybe even a Copy User Preferred Manilla files from SD to device if present. There must be some other good ideas from people that like flashing, but are tired of installing their preferred skins, settings and Apps.
Unfortunately i found that the newer package of Connectionsetup asks for a reset where my previous VGA reskinned package did not.
All the Regs are te same (Except for two new unrelated ones).
I like the old non rebooting version better.
I know that a reboot isn't needed but i can see users unkowingly agree to that reboot. (But that's another subject)
I think i will change the package this weekend So it is only one method.
By default it is set to run at second boot, but it can easily be changed by the cook to run at first boot if that is the setup that one would prefer.
Also i'm still tinkering out the exact form of the XDA files.
But nice to hear i'm not on an island, l3v5y.

I think the "EXEC:" command waits for the process to close? If yes, then an application that runs some mortscripts could wait till all the mortscripts are run before continuing, so it can be run at first boot within RunCC. That saves the issue of an extra reboot...
Welcomehead.192.png is the file for VGA/WVGA devices, welcomehead.96.png is for QVGA devices, though it's actually set in the registry, so that could be checked at load time? (I'll find the registry key at some point...)
Something I've just thought of:
If there were a way for ROM cooks to block things that are known not to function or are included already, that would be quite useful. E.G. I include PIMBackup in ROMs, so why would anyone install an extra cab to do the same?
You could add a check for a specific .Cab name.
And if present change the extension.
Repeat and Rinse a few times.
Then at the end rename all .cabxx back to .cab
I think in general, not a lot of people change their cab names.
Unless like that previous post, someone likes to add numbers to them to control the order.
But in this Silent install method i can see that having one app being installed first could be useful as there's small pauses build into the script so the device isn't slow as hell the first minutes it boots.
I think it might get more error prone if it gets executed through RunCC.
With all the processes that get proccesed through the script.
It's using and starting, cusTSK.exe, TaskMgr.exe, wceload.exe and mortscript. But when Mortscript exitst it should be finished.
I would need to test this style to feel confident it doesn't reboot while there's still work in progress.
I Agree that getting it into the No Reboot style might be some extra work for cooks. And maybe i'm seeing this to much from my own perspective where i always remove and convert OEM configurations to straight forward packages.

I personally hate having cabs installed, so in theory my ROMs should be good to go without the reset.
Based on what you said, it might be best if the number of complications are minimal, and device compatibility as great as possible. RunCC probably would make things more complex and error prone, so yes, I agree not having it as a dependency makes sense.
A mortscript could always recognise *cabname.cab, so even using an order flag at the front should work.
Silent install sounds like it could be great, although some of the cabs need user intervention... Also, having a flag settable somewhere that makes (or stops) a message box with "auto install is complete" would be useful...
At the moment i have G-Alarm in my SD folder for that User intervention.
It just pops up at the moment after it's install i know at first i waited for it, no i grab a beer and tap it when i arive but the script continues with the rest of the files present so it's not waiting on that user interaction.
The possible Pop up message would in theory come up at the moment the last cab is just starting to install but it should be possible to add a check if wceload is still active before it pops up.
Which reminds me i still need to contact some of the people that actually helped out a lot without knowing.
"Installation has Finished, if your in a good mood and were planning to get beer from the fridge choose yes to reset the device, If your not in the mood and need to actually use your phone right now, press no to reset whenever you feel like it"
Do you think that would fit in the screen
01/04/2010 update - program can read list of modules from text file.
download link: http://www.4shared.com/file/255038195/c2b5de9b/RecModFolder_04.html
mirror: http://narod.ru/disk/19297102000/RecModFolder_04.zip.html
how to use
1. create text file RecModFolder.txt,
2. write list of modules to this file, for example:
SYS\MediaOS\wmpocx.dll
SYS\OS\dw.exe
SYS\OS\dwui.dll
SYS\OS\DwXfer.dll
3. pass RecModFolder.txt as a parameter:
RecModFolder.exe RecModFolder.txt
that's it.
and, of course, you can convert all modules in folder like this
RecModFolder.exe SYS\AdobeFlash
RecModFolder.exe SYS\AdobeFlashCodecs
there are sample RecModFolder.txt and cmd file that I use with OSBuilder
cmd file is executed from the root of my kitchen, program is in the tools\RecMod subfolder
====================================================
old post:
I developed small tool which helps me to update my kitchen with new OS build.
My device has wm6.1 kernel and I get tired with "too many modules" problem.
I know I can use RecMod to convert modules to files, but it's so slow and inconvenient:
find folder with module,
drop it on recmod.exe,
get new file out of this folder,
delete folder,
move file back,
find, drop, get, delete, move...
find, drop, get, delete, move...
GRRR!!!! =)
My tool will do all these steps for me.
I just select parameters:
1. Folder - folder with modules, for example SYS\21872,
2. Mask (optional) - any mask that is valid in windows is acceptable,
(common masks are *.dll, *.cpl, *.exe, *.mui), no mask means "*".
3. Count (optional) - how many modules to convert, no count means "convert all".
[new in v0.3] If Count is 0, program will only display all modules matching the mask,
and do not change your files.
=======================================
Example 1:
>RecModFolder.exe c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054
means - RecMod all modules in c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054 recursive
=======================================
Example 2:
>RecModFolder.exe c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054 *.exe
means - RecMod all exe modules in c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054 recursive
=======================================
Example 3:
>RecModFolder.exe c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054 *.dll 10
means - RecMod first 10 dll modules in c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054 recursive
=======================================
Algorithm
Code:
read parameters from command line
find all modules in given folder (recursive) using given mask
for each module folder
{
call RecMod
create temporary unique file name (GUID for safety reason)
move new file to parent folder and assign it temporary name
delete module folder (with all files)
rename new file, give it real module name
if (count >= requested count)
{
stop
}
}
=======================================
Installation
make sure you can run RecMod from console, add its folder to PATH or drop RecModFolder.exe to the same folder.
That's it.
=======================================
Tips
You can create shortcut to RecModFolder and drop folders on it from explorer or Total Commander. RecModFolder will convert all modules in that folder to files.
Backup your files. This tool doesn't ask any questions,
it just informs you in case of error and stops immediately.
Save log file and check it for errors.
This is console application - you can use it in bat files.
You can save output of this program to text file - add >fileName.txt to your command line.
example:
RecModFolder.exe c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054 *.dll 10 >log.txt
this command will call RecMod first 10 dll modules in c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054 recursive
and save its output to log.txt.
Do not open folders you want to delete (replace with files) in explorer (or Total Commander, FAR, etc.) while this program works.
very nice, but there is already a similar app which does it from right click menu..
see here -> recmod by OndraSter
you probably have more options on the whole process, but the other tool might be more convenient.. anyways i will try
serfer222, you know that you may be responsible for whole lots of nab made VERY bad rom releases now, lol?
hheh, thanks for that tool anyway.

I can explain what is the main difference:
If I choose one module folder, for example
Code:
SYS\21055\SHARED\COMMON\BROWSING\browser.dll\
and select osRecmod "Recmod this folder" it will work.
but if I select parent folder
Code:
SYS\21055\SHARED\COMMON\BROWSING\
osRecmod will just delete this folder and create empty file BROWSING
in the SYS\21055\SHARED\COMMON\
So, you see, it doesn't work for me.
I want to convert all modules inside folder
Code:
SYS\21055\SHARED\COMMON\BROWSING\
in one step. I drag this folder on my tool and all modules are converted to files. That's what I want =)

You know, there are a lot of such rom developers already here.
This tool will just save their time and maybe they will find out whole new world outside computer and then will quit rom development... =)
Thank you serfer222 for this application, which complements my kitchen.
By
New version - v0.3.
new option is added - if you set Count to 0 program will just display list of matching modules.
Example: I want to see a list of *.mui module folders that can be converted to files.

keep on
good job man
I have an idea for next update.
Now I'm using 21874 with my wm6.1 kernel and just simple update it to 21876 is a headache. This tool helps me to convert modules fast, but I still must choose what should be converted. I'm lazyyyy. I did it for 21874 and want to REUSE my old work.
Idea is:
1. run application and choose good existing build AS TEMPLATE.
2. select new build folder and drink a cup of coffee.
3. my app will do the job - take old working build as template and prepare new build exactly the same way.
What do you think? Is there a program that already implement this feature or
I need to create it? (lazy question)
=)
When I start doing recmod the recmodefolder.exe shows this message "Do you have RecMod.exe in PATH?" and then stops.
What happens?
program is updated, list-mode added,
first post is updated
hi, friends, it seems an excerllent apps, but how can i download it? when i visit that link, it seems a Russian web, i even don't know one letter!
can you upload it rapishare ?
www.4shared.com link in the first post
useful App ,, Thanks
when selecting or specifying 1 module folder, it doesen't work for me.
It shows "RecMod 0 modules completed"
It works only using multiple (eg: *.mui).
Maybe the first prob. will be replaced by osrecmod, & ur tool for multiple files ,, LoL
------------
ANY idea of converting back file to module?

hi all..
there is a new version - 1.31 dated 16/01/10. If you are not using this version you should. there are probably bugfixes and other features you want.
i've made a tool which can be used to update packages in an Ervius kitchen. i made it as Sparkienl updates his kitchens every so often, but sometimes the new version of the kitchen has old versions of the packages.. it can also convert .cab's to EXT kitchen packages
changes -
1.31 - added handling for HKCR registry settings.
- fix for null reference exception (caused by HKCR registry entries).
1.3a - added a default value for app.reg. if keyname = "" then it will write @ into the app.reg
1.3 - added tabs in app rather than stuffing everythign under one form. the .cab file import is now on the options tab. So is the folder mappings button.
- added a preload for the foldermappings.xml file. first time the datagrid is loaded it wont be blank now.
- added a {build} and {device} style combo box rather than assuming build and device numbers.
important. the build number is used when searching for packages in your kitchen. if you use the build number - eg 28014 rather than "common" you might then get duplicate packages inside your kitchen - eg one in c:\kitchen\ext\blackstone\common\package_1_0 and c:\kitchen\ext\blackstone\28014\package_1_0. This can lead to funny issues when you are cooking.
- added an image comparer. take a folder with a few images and then compare it to your kitchen. It will show any image which is different from your kitchen in a grid. you can select images that you want to update your kitchen with. THIS WILL OVERWRITE THE DESTINATION IMAGE WITH NO WARNING.
- added more UI disables when background threads are working. closing the app while the searcher is running will still crash the app though. i know about this one, but it's a 1% thing.
-
1.12a - .cab file import completely fails under win7. fixed.
1.12 - fixed app.dat entries (no really, it should be fixed this time). all files goes into \windows it seems and get copied from there to their proper destination. kinda stupid tbh.
- fixed app.dat shortcuts that were still not fixed in 1.11.
- added a foldermappings.xml file so that each of the variables can be changed for localisation - eg %CE2 -> \windows or it's local equivalent. you dont need to generate this file, if it doesnt exist it will be created with the english (0409) settings. you can then either hand edit the .xml or use the inbuilt editor. i'll add something later on so that you can have multiple locales in a combobox and use different ones.
1.11 - shortcut creation not working 100%.
- multiple registry keys under one branch not being exported properly. fixed.
- binary registry keys not being exported correctly. fixed. notification bar packages (eg dusk taskbar icons) now working properly.
- problem where multiple directories matching a source package name - eg power-* showing up as old version (red), not unknown version (blue). fixed.
1.10 - added import cab function. this can convert a .cab into a kitchen package using the _setup.xm in a wince cab. it will process the registry entries, files, shortcuts and app data and create the app.dat and app.reg files. i have only tested this on a few .cab's (the dusk 2.5 manila theme and the taskbar icons and a few other ones) so tbh i don't know how reliable it its but it seems ok. need feedback on this one please
- added new status icon - grey. when you refresh the package if the package exists in the source but not the kitchen you see a grey icon.
- new packages are now correctly added to kitchen rather than just being passed over.
- added some filters - show missing (packages exist in package source but not in kitchen), show different (versions are different), show same.
- other bugs fixed.. i think the packages.txt was being added to even if the package already existed. maybe some others.
1.02 - added combobox for users to select htc model. blackstone and topaz built in, but if you type in your model into the combobox this app will try and match the folder %kitchenroot%\EXT\%htcmodel%\common\packages.txt. If it finds packages.txt in that folder you can then choose to update packages.txt. It also uses this folder as the root of the packages folder in your kitchen.
- added .erv file updater. if you choose a .erv file from your kitchen this app will try and update it with your updated packages. you'll notice in the kitchen the new version of the package is not grey anymore (ie you dont need to enable it). But, you can only update one .erv file per package update.
1.00 - original version.

before you do anything - backup your kitchen. THIS APP WILL MAKE CHANGES
TO YOUR KITCHEN AND IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG IT CAN OVERWRITE/DELETE STUFF.
1. open up the app.
2. point the source folder at your directory that contains kitchen packages
3. point the destination directory at the root of your ervius kitchen (other kitchens won't work (eg PRB), because their directory structures are different to ervius - i might make an update to try and more kitchens to the compatibility list since i know ervius isnt the fastest to cook.). the app will then try and fill in the device model and build numbers. If they are blank the folder structure in your kitchen is wrong.
4. click the refresh 'packages list' button.
the status led colours mean the following -
grey. new package. the package exists in the source, but not in the kitchen. you can choose to add it here.
red. the version in the kitchen is older than the version in your source package folder.
blue. something went wrong getting the destination package version. most likely this util could only find the directory name. also, if that package doesnt exist in your kitchen this will happen also.
yellow. the version of the package in your kitchen is newer than the version in your source folder. you can update it with this old version, but i don't recommend it of course.
green. the two versions are the same.
5. Select the packages you want to update (i advise only one or two each time) and then click copy packages.
6. browse to your .erv file you want to update with the new package versions. if you do this my updater will add the lines to the end of the .erv file and you won't have to enable the new version of the package when it has been updated.
7. click copy packages. packages that turn green have been updated.
8. open up Ervius visual Kitchen and then open up your .erv file. go ahead and cook your rom!.
Image comparer.
In 1.3 i have added an image comparer. It will take a folder of images and try and find images of the same name in your kitchen. hopefully this can help you update your kitchen images. Or atleast have a visual inspection of where images come from. The filter will limit the datagrid to only those images where the filename matches the filter (the filter isnt on the directory).
updated exe due to bug running on win7. if you are using any other version grab this one.
Excellent tool!!! I used to compare the kitchen packages manually but I'm sure your tool will help a whole lot and save time!!!
Did you upload the correct file? I tried to run it but I could never get to the similar screenshot as you showed. The app's title is only "50chickens Kitchen Uploader" and not "50chickens Ervius Kitchen Uploader", and worse it is not functioning.
ah.. you're right!
i uploaded an old build.. sorry about that!.. it's been fixed.
although the people who downloaded the source got the current one
SWEET thanks
So nice, thanks man
new version.
1.10 - added import cab function. this can convert a .cab into a kitchen package using the _setup.xm in a wince cab. it will proces the registry entries, files, shortcuts and app data and create the app.dat and app.reg files. i have only tested this on a few .cab's (the dusk 2.5 manila theme and the taskbar icons and a few other ones) so tbh i don't know how reliable it its but it seems ok. need feedback on this one please
Hey,
This tool works really great!! But I have just one suggestion:
When importing the cab, it presumes that it's going to be used in a WWE or english version of WM. So it uses Program Files, Start Menu etc. instead of the how it's written in the language of the ROM. To make it easy for yourself, maybe it can be defined in an .INI file?

im not sure what you mean by other devices but you mean other HTC devices all you need to do is edit the combobox where it says blackstone to whatever youre device codename is eg leo, kaiser, hermes etc.

new version. localising the variables is a bit simple atm.. which i'll expand on so you can keep and use multiple locales in another version soon.
Hey, using Windows XP it works perfectly fine. However, using Windows 7, which I'm using to build the ROM, I can't import any cabs anymore. It crashes immediatly with a error-popup that's coming from .Net. I could get you a screenshot if you wish, however the text that appears will be in dutch as is my Windows 7. Would it be of any help?

yeah for some reason when i build it under xp it has problem loading cablib.dll under win7. probably some oddball win7 .net permissions thing i can't cater for on xp. looks like i can only make release builds at home

Thread Quicklinks:
2.5.192x issue and ROMs with older facebook engine...
v1.5 Released, v2.0 Development starts here [Post#361+]
v1.5 Beta Testing details start here [Post#133+]
Information for v1.5 language files & beta drafts [Post#109+]
I'll fill in more detail here when we start doing development work.
I've placed an OLD release into the groups 4shared directory, in the projects folder.
http://manila.4shared.com
Also my tutorial (which is more a notepad at the moment) is here:
TUT Manila Tutorial 4 - Placeholder/Facebook Tab
Setup Instructions
Setup Instructions (roughly):
1. Use the Command Line Kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528548).
2. Recommend 1st copying ALL xxxxxxxx_manila files from your windows dir (keep a copy as backup too), and decompile them all using the kitchen.
3. Rename the Workspace to something else (i.e. Workspace_complete), you can use this now as reference!
4. Start again with the manila files you want to work on, you now have your "working" folder of lauc files etc.
5. Make use of the manilaHASH to convert between filenames and internal path/file references (recommend you keep a list of ones you find, you'll be surprised how useful it can be).
For editing, Programmer's Notepad is excellent, you can save your workspace, highlight the files for lauc and xml and also use the "find in files" search to find stuff in your "Workspace_complete" folder.

Temp Location for the stuff moved off the main thread (this post can them be referred to if the info is important):
MAIN THREAD POST #1:
-----
The stuff below will get replaced when the next version is released...
-----
This is my facebook tab, the project is a learning project, it will also have a supporting tutorial with full details of how it is built.
By it's nature the intention is it is freely available and totally open.
Before people ask, no I can't do comments, pokes, likes, notifications etc etc, I am cheating here and borrowing HTC function/pages and only changing what I have to, to obtain the function needed.
I shall attempt to add some more function soon, will be linking in with a exe which will hopefully talk to the facebook api. At the moment I am unsure how successful this will be, also what to do about facebook requiring an account to be linked with the app and how to keep multi-language support. This will become clearer as I work on it.
Also, as I start to adjust things to suit my changes, I expect to break a few things too, this will be because I don't always see the full range of HTC functionality as I test (i.e. Events etc).
Hopefully it does enough to keep everyone happy. I shall try to document the creation of the tab, but at the moment development work is 1st.
HTC has put in as much more functionality than I thought (I keep seeing new parts to it), but they also did a good job of hiding it!
Personally I think there are some excellent features and credit goes to the poor soul who got told it couldn't be a tab (this is for you and your hard work!).
Please understand, currently ALL the facebook function is by HTC, all the integration is by HTC. The MOD moves the tab and formats it to look nice and also adds some small features which I wanted (I wanted to do more but everyone was keen to have it too!). Formatting and the extras is what takes the time. If you see the 192X basic "basic tab" a simple move of the tab is a 5 min job!
I'm planning to do at least one update to this to add the bits I couldn't get going in time, plus to make it easier to configure via the settings instead of the registry. After that, I'll release a dev pack and facebok api could be added etc on top (but again must be a matter of time before we get an official one).

-----------------------------------------
Details for v1.01 (to be removed later)
-----------------------------------------
Settings are all via the registry (for now). The "Download Data Automatically" etc in the settings subpage runs independently of the Automatic Update Period.
Registry Settings
Change these registry keys to change how it works.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Facebook.LaunchAppSel"=dword:1
Number added to Facebook.LaunchApp to determine which app is launched (entry must exist)
"Facebook.LaunchAppName0"="MS Facebook App"
"Facebook.LaunchApp0"="\\Windows\\Facebook.exe"
Path and filename of app, note \\ should be used in *.reg file to put \. Within the registry this will read as "\Windows\Facebook.exe"
"Facebook.LaunchAppArgs0"=""
Added to the end of the application call if required
"Facebook.LaunchAppName1"="Facebook IM App"
"Facebook.LaunchApp1"="\\Storage Card\\Program Files\\fim\\fim.exe"
"Facebook.LaunchAppArgs1"=""
2nd optional application. You can add any number of others at the moment.
"Facebook.LaunchWebSel"=dword:0
Same as "Facebook.LaunchAppSel" but for the web launch
"Facebook.LaunchWebName0"="Mobile Facebook"
"Facebook.LaunchWeb0"="m.facebook.com/"
"Facebook.LaunchWebArgs0"=""
"Facebook.LaunchWebName1"="iPhone Facebook"
"Facebook.LaunchWeb1"="touch.facebook.com/"
"Facebook.LaunchWebArgs1"=""
"Facebook.LaunchWebName2"="Desktop Facebook"
"Facebook.LaunchWeb2"="www.facebook.com/"
"Facebook.LaunchWebArgs2"=""
Same as "Facebook.LaunchApp#" but for the web launch
"Facebook.LastUpdateTime"=""
"Facebook.LastUpdateDate"=""
Stores the last update time/date used in the display, set by the program.
"Facebook.MyStatus"=""
Copy of your status text, set by the program, if its working ok
"Facebook.MyStatusExe"="\\Windows\\FacebookStatusUpdate.exe"
"Facebook.MyStatusScript"=""
Used to copy registry entry of My Status into the above key. Note: If you set Facebook.MyStatusExe blank, it won't try to update.
"Facebook.AutoUpdateInterval"=dword:0
Time in minutes between automatic updates. I think only runs when within the tab, set to 0 will disable automatic update (although independent of the 2 hour update on the settings page).
FAQ
Launch App/Web does not work (i.e. I get a Certificate error)
Chances are, you need to adjust the registry setting to point the selected application to the location where it is installed (or ensure you have the app installed).
Please see Agent Zach's guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6247589&postcount=470
Why do we need FacebookStatusUpdate.exe (or originally mortscript) and what does it do?
It's a limitation of what is in manila, you can only read from "HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila", unless you are only after a int value.
All the script does (or exe), is the following:
Code:
RegReadString("HKLM", "Software\HTC\FacebookSDK","Status",myStoredStatus)
RegWriteString("HKCU","Software\HTC\Manila","Facebook.MyStatus",myStoredStatus)
There may be a work around, but it would take a lot of time to test for something so simple.

All-In-One Cab Install Instructions
Warnings etc
Modifying manila means various levels of messing around with the files on the device so, as with most of the mods on here, back-up often and be prepared to screw it up and hard-reset your device. All the changes explained here may or may-not work on your particular device/version of manila or perhaps it's just not going to happen today.
Instructions:
1) Ensure you have moved your tabs around at least once, via Settings Tab, this ensures the correct registry keys are present used by the cab install.
2) Run the cab and Install to Device (attached to first post).
3) Copy any language files which are missing if you need them into the windows directory (some are included).
4) If this does not work, then don't un-install, but follow the manual install instructions (ensure you copy all the files from the zip as instructed).
You don't even have to disable Sense first or anything. It'll do that, and re-start Sense for you. It's recommended to install it after a fresh hard reset for best results, but it may still work without doing so.
Thanks to Captain_Throwback for creating the cab and johncmolyneux for creating the executable that adds the correct info to the tab control file automatically so that the install is fully automated.
Please report any issues you have with the install here, so that we can try to fix them.
All-In-One Cab Uninstall Instructions
Will update soon, with precise details:
1. Replace the 26948339_manila file in your windows directory with the backup version made by the cab also in windows.
2. Then perform 5. Reset Manila as described in the manual install steps.
Note: Until this is updated, and you are not confident, you can simply disable the tab via Settings, Home Screen Tabs!

Manila Sense Fix - Sense is not starting after install/uninstall
If you run into problems with Sense not starting then there are two things you can do.
1. Run moonnah's B_L_Group_FixStartManila_2.5.cab from the following thread (this should fix any problems with your tab control file):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670116
2. Post your tab control file (26948339_manila) on the thread and we shall correct any problems and repost it.
The next release of All-In-One cab will hopefully run the FixStartManila for you so this issue will hopefully be fixed.
[USE ALL-IN-ONE CAB INSTEAD] Captain_Throwback's OLD Cab Install Instructions
I've just kept this section for now, until we are happy the all-in-one cab does what it needs to do. Let me know if you still have to use this method.
Note: 1084 views on this cab now - will monitor for use. OK removed the attached cab to avoid confusion.

Captain_Throwback Post here
NOTE: This cab does NOT include the tab control file (26948339_manila). Because everyone's set of tabs is different, each will need to be edited individually, per the instructions HERE. The edited file should be copied AFTER the CAB is installed. The install will make a backup of your original file called "26948339_manila_orig", if you have issues with the edited file.
Instructions:
1) Install CAB (attached to this post)
2) Verify that Sense is disabled in Today items once install is complete.
3) Copy edited tab control file (26948339_manila) to \Windows folder on device. Confirm overwrite of existing file.
Either get your tab control file (26948339_manila) from \Windows folder and edit it yourself or use a pre-written one which matches all the tabs orginally listed in your Settings Tab (where you re-order the tabs).
Edit your 26948339_manila file from your \windows\ directory (you can use the example in the zip file \tabcontrol\ as a guide, use a UTF-16 Compatible Editor such as Notepad2 or Programmers Notepad.
a) Insert the following text, between the other "pages" defined, replacing the X with suitable number (re-numbering the others as required to avoid duplicated numbers):
Code:
<Page Order="X" Name="facebook.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[Facebook]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\People\facebook.mode9" Component="SummaryAllPage" SmartComponent="true"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Off"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_On"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Preview"/>
</Page>
b) Copy back completed file to your device \windows\ directory
4) Re-enable Sense in Today items.
Manual Install Instructions (for use with the zip files)
Scott8813 has kindly provided a detailed tutorial on how to add the tab, so if you need more detail then please refer to this.

All the changes explained here may or may-not work on your particular device/version of manila or perhaps it's just not going to happen today.
The files may be hidden system files (may need to enable viewing of system hidden files to find them)
Keep an original copy of your 26948339_manila file, particularly if you use a cab to install
If the tab doesn't work you can use it to restore things back (just do step 5)
1. Copy 26948339_manila from your \windows\ directory to your PC.
2. Copy all the files in the zip file \windows\ directory to your devices \windows\ directory.
3. Import the registry items from the "appFacebook.reg" file into your devices registry.
This will add new entries "Facebook.XXX" to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila"
4. Create your Tab Control File:
Edit your 26948339_manila file from your \windows\ directory (you can use the example in the zip file \tabcontrol\ as a guide, use a UTF-16 Compatible Editor such as Notepad2 or Programmers Notepad.
a) Insert the following text, between the other "pages" defined, replacing the X with suitable number (re-numbering the others as required to avoid duplicated numbers):

<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_On"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Preview"/>
</Page>
b) Copy back completed file to your device \windows\ directory
5. Reset Manila:
a) Delete "\\windows\manilaFull.xml" on your device (don't worry this is regenerated when manila restarts).
b) Delete the configuration reg-key HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration (this resets the tab list and allows the new tab to be included in the tab re-ordering page of the settings tab - the keys only re-generate when you go back to that tab re-ordering page)
Alternative exe instead of mortscript (old zip version v1.0 23Mar10 ReleaseB):
Use the exe from FacebookStatusUpdate.zip and place in your windows folder (doesn't matter where, as long as you link correctly).
Change reg file to:
"Facebook.MyStatusExe"="\\Windows\\FacebookStatusUpdate.exe"
"Facebook.MyStatusScript"=""
Or directly in reg:
Facebook.MyStatusExe = "\Windows\FacebookStatusUpdate.exe"
Facebook.MyStatusScript =""

No problem.
Gives me somewhere to write what I am up to without spamming my own thread too.
1. Currently I'm working on different views of the main page.
It's hard to see how events will be displayed since no-one I know uses them (how do they appear normally? Are they part of the individual status items?) Also, unable to change "Has Multiple Updates" to display the status and updated album message when there is more space, not a major issue. I'll post some screens at some-point.
2. Will then start to work on tying things into an exe which I can then experiment with the facebook api without having to wrestle with manila, plus for now I will put the tab specific settings page in it too (makes little difference visually to a manila sub-page, except I'm not sure how to pull in the translations for multi-lang).
3. Also starting to look at .\Scripts\People\peopleUpdateViewPage.luac 285D32BC_manila which is the more detailed tab when you select someone, but it's not fully decompiled so I've not tried changing it yet. Ideally I can put more info/options within this page when the fb api is functional.
4. Need to finish off the update timer, should be able to look at the time of the last update and update immediately even if you've just entered the tab. Currently it just waits for the update period, which only happens if the tab is open.
5. Need to put another text object on the main page for each fb item, hopefully for use with the fb api.
damn,i can't open that m9editor. if i'll not find other possibilities i'll have to run an xp-mode VM. i only managed to convert the 59B632C0_manila file to xml with mode9converter but it gives me an error when i try to convert back to mode9.
meltwater, please just edit it this way from "icon_off" to "icon_on" and attach me the edited manila file,i'll try to do the rest. thanks!

Looks like the right change, although will see what it does on my phone...ok doesn't break it which is good.
Now just need to get my hands on a full version of visual studio...
IT WORKS!
great we found the right reference,which results in:
1F04C842_manila \windows\htc\Assets\Images\Manila\icon_on\Facebook_tray.qtc
--
do you think the 357374E7_manila file is needed? it does not show anywhere..
--
i attached the right 1F04C842_manila file. now you can use it with your corrected 59B632C0_manila to have separated split icon on/icon off.
the "icon on" should be hi-res 16bpp and "icon off" 8bpp but cfc_gui did'em both at 8bpp not a big deal tho,and easily correctable.
i'm happy for my little contribution,now i have to research that last missing "rearrange tab" icon

Ok, will try it out on my phone too. Donno about the 8bpp and cfc'ing can't remember what my originals were like.
Good luck with the "rearrange tab" I think the key is to find what the reference path/name is, either from the filenames or from the mode9 file whichever that one is.
Oddly, I've found it hard to find the colour settings for the title when in landscape mode, all the colours are in the mode9 file (but not that one it seems - changed all from R0G0B0 but it is still black...):
51B6F88A_manila \windows\htc\people\facebook.mode9
It might be using the theme colours instead (remember it was a sub-page so black is default), only found them yesterday so will chase that route 1st.
Been thinking about how to do the first page interface (depending on the fb api success of course). I think, ideally we want to drop the link to the People Tab sub-page and drive everything within the main tab page (ideally storing it's state if you leave the tab). It should then allow you to select someone, and the item expand, again you view comments etc, select them again and you get options to comment/like etc. Easy to suggest, but not anywhere near being able to do that within the manila yet, a nice aim though.
One issue I do see ahead is updating the information/storing it all, do we pick up live data when we open views (unlikely to be smooth) or attempt to download everything we need in one burst and store it away (I guess you could then open wifi, download and close wifi again...in theroy). Ideally we could use the same storage as the fbmgr uses, but I doubt that is accessible so may need duplicated info.

there are no direct references,or at least i did not find'em yet. unfortunately the other tabs' manila icon files don't have a group,they're "unknown" on cfc_gui. it was easier with slider and tab icons as they were in manila names.txt list. i found some interesting file this nite but it was late so i left some work for this evening

that becomes a tad difficult to understand to me,sorry hope some skilled user will help you more with that. very curious to see what's possible to achieve with the facebook api tho.

Ah, my background is black so I assumed it was just black too. Ok, will rethink that then. Maybe just a case of setting it visible...at the right point..at the right time. No logical reason why it's on the people tab but not this one, same code. Not too bothered about it yet.

I've found the editing of the gui the hardest so far, mainly because you can't see until you try but also if it doesn't like it, it gives up and moves on (so you can't even see where it was wrong). Still what started out as a little experiment on my part has already opened up a lot of what can be done. The Custom Manila Interface Tab is still a long term goal.
MS don't make it very easy to develop on windows mobile, they still don't have support for it in Visual Studio 2010 Express. I think I'll go for a trail version to get me started and then switch to non-MS solution once I'm happier. It's all new to me but keen to pick this up too.
Hi meltwater and etoy,
it is a help when i testing something too, because i was working also for that issue and i have found the same thing as you two. Strange, three people with the same thoughts. Not easy to find....
Ask me and will help. BTW, this is the dutch language file. I working on it, but a lot of translation:
6CD727C8_manila \windows\htc\people\locales\nl-nl\facebook.nl-nl.xml

You can get most of it from:
\windows\htc\people\locales\nl-nl\peopleupdate.nl-nl.xml
35DC316_manila
Probably a little late to point that out...
All help is welcome. There should be a lot more as I implement more, but fixing the little bugs is very helpful.
It will get difficult to manage changes as we all get deeper into it, but at least the more we change the more files and area's of functionality there is to work on, so hopefully it will be possible.

Have you can say it 5 minuts earlier? Thanks for the info but that was also my thought to take some things that are allways done .

10 Donno yet! What can you do / what do you want to do?
20 the source "is" the manila files (although I've started putting comments in my latest files - so will have source versions for later builds), you need to install the command line kitchen and decompile it (see the rough tips on this threads post #2).
30 go for it - ask away
40 Compile, reset manila. Bang head on table. Goto 10
At the moment, I've started working on the supporting exe which will handle the facebook api and settings etc, but I'm a beginner with windows mobile development so it'll take some time before I am up to speed with that and have something worth sharing (oh plus day job...).

Thank you for your great mod. I finally investigate the name of file "icon in rearrange tab". The name must be 6BEE887F_manila. Hope it helps you.

OK, looks like we have another fix!
Ok, so I tried this . . .
I used my CFC graphics files, and replaced them in the All-in-One CAB. I replaced the updated file from the first page that had the updated mode9(?) code, and I copied the manila file and pasted it as "6BEE887F_manila" (I retained the original file some said 'wasn't needed' anyway). I now have the icon in the Customize tabs screen, but I'm missing the icon when the tab is selected. Is it because I didn't delete the "357374E7_manila" file? Is it just me that has this issue? The icon is there when the tab is not selected, and the large version is fine. That's the only one that's missing now (and previously, it was fine ).

Don't delete 357374E7_manila, it's slider icon. Just create 6BEE887F_manila from scratch or using existing files from rearrange tab.

So I can't copy "357374E7_manila" and paste as "6BEE887F_manila" (that's what I did - I didn't delete any files)? That doesn't explain why my slider icon is missing when the tab is selected ?
