Bypass Welcome Screen with DCD 2.3.1 Kitchen?

[Poltergeek]

I changed from DogGuy to this new DCD kitchen and do really like it, but I have come across a couple of strange things. I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issues, and has figured them out. I can no longer skip the welcome screen and calibration with this new kitchen. I even tried to recreate the script with the newest oemizer, and still no luck. I am using a real high GUID (ffffffff-f493-424e-b7f1-cab5da57bd61) so it should be one of the last updates to the registry. But it still does not work. It did work with the DogGuy kitchen and the 6.1 rom from No2Chem. Has anyone made this work? Here is the code form my oem:

;<<<<<----- First Boot Settings ----->>>>>

;Skip Welcome Screen
;================================================= ============
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Welcome]
"Disable"=dword:FFFFFFFF


;Stylus Calibration
;================================================= ============
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="2018,1980 3383,3022 3387,972 649,950 667,3021"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Stylus]
"Group"=dword:00000001
;--------------------------------------------


Also, I have not been able to successfully change the today screen through an oem either.

;Today Theme
;================================================= ============
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today]
"Skin"="\\Windows\\Lamborghini_Gallardo.tsk"
"UpdateFlag"=dword:00000001
"Restriction"=dword:00000002


Thanks,

Poltergeek.

you need to edit initflashfiles.dat and remove the line that places welcome in startup.

Thanks,

Poltergeek.

place a file named " welcome.not " without quotation marks on the sd card and when you hard rest it will skip the welcome screen including calibration

Thanks DCD that did it. You are the man! I learn something new everyday.

Hey poltergeek - what about the today screen.... have you been able to figure out how to set it to the theme you want in ROM???

[Poltergeek]

Nope, Still working on that. Something in the Kitchen is still overriding my settings in my hacks oem folder. I had trouble with it in the DogGuy kitchen as well. It uploads the Lamborgini tsk file, but I cannot get it to set properly. I just have to manually set it after every flash.... which is often. If I figure it out, I will post the fix.

same here, poltergeek. i used oemizer to make the oem, and whatever the setting is, its overriding anything i do to change the theme...dcd help!:confused:

[blankd3ckskat3r]

another problem im having is i edited the initflashfiles.dat to have nobottombar.exe in the startup folder. well, its in the startup folder and it doesnt activate until i go into the windows/startup folder and open it:confused: ugh. heres the line i made, its the last one listed:


; Startup Folder
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("coldinit.lnk","\Windows\coldinit.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("bugtrap.lnk","\Windows\bugtrap.lnk");
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("poutlook.lnk","\Windows\poutlook.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("CheckAutoRun.lnk","\windows\CheckAutoRun.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("TrayAp.lnk","\windows\TrayAp.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("nobottombar.exe","\Windows\nobottombar.exe")

that something is wm6.1. it sets the default wm6.1 theme over anything you set in an oem.

i think you can still use cusTSK.exe and config.txt to set a different theme with autorun.

[blankd3ckskat3r]

dcd, what would happen if we delete the windows mobile 6.1 theme?

Skipping the welcome screen. A while back I used OEmizer from Dogguys kitchen to make a simple OEM called preferences. in it I checked off skip welcome screen, Owners name, my IMAP settings for email etc. All of which are automatically implimented when I build the rom. I simply took that OEM and inserted it in the OEM folder of DCD's kitchen and it worked perfect.

On a side note, it allows you to choose your skin, but I never figured out how to make the new skin upload or auto impliment.... any idea?

You cant depend on an OEM for everything. You guys need to check the shell folder and edit this file mxipcold_wpc_2.provxml

Enjoy!

Just delete the file. You will loose the flat bars on 6.1 tsk.

Enjoy

[blankd3ckskat3r]

ok if i delete the file, and make an oem to set whatever.tsk as the theme, will it make it the theme?

edit:: ok i deleted the file. made an oem to make a certain .tsk default, and still isnt working. just makes the today screen have a blue background and blue bars.

[YACO]

so... no luck changing the default theme as it boots up?
