Install .cab during Customization?

[opgadgets]

I would also like to know how to install a .cab during Customization (in 3 seconds). Does anyone know how?

[opgadgets]

anyone? :confused:

[ryncppr]

What do you mean by converting a .tsk????

Just put the .tsk in the OEMOperators Package instead of the one the ROM does and change the config file...i

[opgadgets]

yeah, i dont think that "convert" was the best word choice, but i basically just wanted to use a custom theme in my rom and was wondering how to do that. ill give this a shot, though

I can't find that package, where is it?:(

[opgadgets]

ok, sorry, I found it and changed the theme successfully. Now, I might as well ask this one question:

is there any way to install a .cab to the device while the device is configuring during the first startup? That way users can uninstall it if they want to?:confused:

[opgadgets]

im sory, but does anyone have the answer for this? im pretty sure laurentius26 uses it in his roms, but thid thread has had 150+ views and no respnses other than mine on one other one...

[raiisak]

For OEM you could make an cab of it then use packages creator 5.4.exe Might not be the simplest solution but..
For UC use the cab you made above :D

Atleast now you have something to go on.

is this the solution for the theme? because I have figured that one out:D Now I'm looking for a way to install .cab's when the device says "It will configure your device in three seconds."

Use kaiserkitchen. Run KAISERKITCHEN.cmd and choose p option then open the cab. if you need more info read. All the info you need is here already.

Check config_operator.txt under kaiserkitchen\OEM\OperatorPKG

Check config_operator.txt under kaiserkitchen\OEM\OperatorPKG

I can't seem to find that file :confused:

There are two methods you can use to cook a cab into the customization install.
To hardcode the cab into the install locate the config.txt and add a line for your cab. The formatting is pretty self explanatory once you look in the file itself, or to be more user friendly and allow used to decide whether or not they want to install the cab in the first place rather than just make it uninstallable go here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366333) and include the cab(s) in a separate UC package.

[ModsSuk]

there is no reason for a .cab what so ever just put your .tsk in the rom dump (dont even use package tools) and edit the config to your .tsk its really simple as the config.txt all ready has a line that installs the defualt .tsk so just edit that to the name of your .tsk lets say custom.tsk

Ok I'm going to go for the first method. Now, is the config.txt in the Tier Install Package folder?

[opgadgets]

anyone? all I want to know is how to install .cab files while the "device is configuring please wait..." during an initial hard reset/flash :confused:

We told you already mate...

Open: C:\kaiserkitchen\OEM\OEMAPPS\Config_AP.txt

You will se something like this:
CAB: \WINDOWS\CVC-PPC-WWE-705142-DopodPPC.CAB
CFG: \Windows\config.txt

CVC-PPC-WWE-705142-DopodPPC.CAB is actually cyberon voice command

Now what you do is:

1. Place youre cab here: C:\kaiserkitchen\OEM\OEMAPPS
(let call it: search4answer.cab)
Now you have search4answer.cab in youre C:\kaiserkitchen\OEM\OEMAPPS folder.

2. Open: C:\kaiserkitchen\OEM\OEMAPPS\Config_AP.txt
and insert the name of the cab.
CAB: \WINDOWS\CVC-PPC-WWE-705142-DopodPPC.CAB
CAB: \WINDOWS\search4answer.cab
CFG: \Windows\config.txt

Remember Config_AP.txt is locked, unlock it and lock after you have edited.

Close all, and cook it up. Now youre cab will be installed under what you call 1-2-3 customization install.
The cab will be uninstable if you flaged it to be so.

A little off topic, but i always wondered why chefs don't make most of their cooked cabs uninstallable. Coz' there's always a program or two (or 10) that you don't use, but you like the rom and stick with it. having a dosen programs you never use is a waste...
question to cooks :)

Bether rom performance when cooked in :) Metod above is not what we call "cooked in".

thanks a lot raiisak!

however, it's not working. For example, I placed a custom-made .cab file in OEMAPPS, then told the config.txt file to load that, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

Oh, and I still can't figure out how to get the darned theme to load as the default theme...

I remember the CAB you choose/create must be signed to work...

Yes, specialy since youre cab contains unsigned .dll`s ;)

Do you know how to sign? If not post it here and I will sign it for you and repost cab + package.

thank you for your generous offer, it is greatly appreciated

however, I was wondering the same thing as mbarvian, how do you sign .cabs?

If I learn, I can do it myself :)

You still need to download Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en) for getting signtool (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en).

ok, while I'm waiting for this download to complete, do you mind signing this one .cab?

[raiisak]

No I dont mind :)

[mbarvian]

No I dont mind :)

thanks a lot man, will give this a go right away :D

[mbarvian]

ok, that one didn't work either, but I think it might be something to do with my Config_AP.txt file, here it is:

CAB: \Windows\ManillaPlusV2fixEng.cab
CFG: \Windows\config.txt


is this right?

Also, I have the manila cab in my OEMAPPS folder

[austinsnyc]

ok try dumping the rom using IMGFS tools only DO NOT USE kaiserkitchen, make sure before you edit the config.txt you change the propertys of the config.txt uncheck read only and then edit the config.txt then go back to the property's and recheck read only and then rebuild the rom should work fine.

umm, what does dumping the rom have to do with this, just wondering?

[austinsnyc]

because when you use the kitchen it runs things through package tool and puts everything in to packages. this way everything is in one folder called dump. trust me its a lot eiser like this.

wow fast response, wasn't expecting that

thanks man, I'll give it a go :rolleyes:

[mbarvian]

ok, I'm having some difficulty...

here's what my Config_AP.txt looks like:

CAB: \WINDOWS\MBarvian_Registry_Tweaks.cab
CAB: \WINDOWS\ManillaPlusV2fixEng.cab
CFG: \Windows\config.txt


Am I doing something wrong? It does not install these on startup like it should... Any suggestions?

EDIT: Also, both of the .cab files are signed and in kaiserkitchen/OEM/OEMAPPS

[raiisak]

Where did you put them?

[mbarvian]

Where did you put them?

C:\kaiserkitchen\OEM\OEMAPPS

EDIT: BTW, thanks for the fast responses

[monx®]

sorry to interrupt but ur cabs didnt called by autorun.exe or it shows installing but it dont actually :rolleyes:

i'm checking ur cabs rite now | hope my boss didnt see it :p

[mbarvian]

lol thanks :)

[monx®]

ur both signed cab is ok but ur dialer didnt show well in my kaiser (this is different issue :) )

can u check what is inside ur mxipupdate_zzPIED_101.provxml ?
the default one u will see this
parm name="AutoRunCFG" value="\windows\config_operator.txt"

do u have modified it to Config_AP.txt or if u use config_operator.txt, is
CFG: \WINDOWS\Config_AP.txt in it ?

because the default routine should be config_operator.txt > config_pt.txt > config_ap.txt > config.txt

or u can make it straight to Config_AP.txt

oh, I see, so you want me to change it to WINDOWS\Config_AP.txt since I use that instead of config_operator?

[monx®]

no, if u can see my config.txt routine table above, & if u have all the abovesaid config*.txt file, then no need to change it. just change if u have removed others . hope u understand what i mean :p

[mbarvian]

O, OK, I have all that, so I'll leave it be

[mbarvian]

Just two more questions:

1. Can I rename Config_AP.txt to something like Config_Install.txt and change the link in config_operator.txt? The reason for this is because there are many Config_AP.txt, so what if it's pointing at the wrong one?

2. Can I use the same method described by Raiisak previously for config_operator.txt?

[mbarvian]

anyone? I'm really having difficulty with this seemingly easy task

[monx®]

of course mate. the simpler is better :)
