[PC-APP] Recmod and Reversmod in one click! [28th Oct]

[OndraSter]

Hello,
many people don't have native 6.5 kernels so they must recmod and not all of our kitchens has any recmod-options and sometimes even this isn't enough so I built an Windows Shell extension ("extension") - it adds to Right Click menu "Recmod this folder" option

http://clip2net.com/clip/m12051/1256417494-clip-16kb.png

What it needs: C++ Runtimes and .NET Framework 2.0 and newer

Installation
Download osRecmod.zip included in this post, extract it to C:\Program Files\OndraSter\osRecmod and run RightClickInstaller.exe.

If you previously had installed previous version, click Uninstall first.
To finally install it, click on Install.

And voila, without rebooting or such you can recmod or reversmode easy!
(Recmod is shown only on folders, reversmode on exe, dll and mui files.)


PS: It has been tested on Win7 x64 with disabled UAC.
PPS: I'm not author of Recmod or Reversmod!
PPPS: If you want to distribute this, please link to whole thread (post), not just download links. Also reuploading to different servers without permission is not allowed. Thanks.
PPPPS: To uninstall this "extension", run again RightClickRecmodInstaller.exe and click on Uninstall. Also, no reason to reboot!

Nice idea my friend, but sadly it doesn´t work on my pc, i´m on win7 32 bits, all framework versions installed, c++ also, and get this error:

Have you got the RightClickRecmod.exe and recmod.exe in:

C:\Program Files\OndraSter\osRecmod
?

I think it should work when using portugese "Program Files" folder since it reads from system vars, but try it creating in English.

[OndraSter]

I may have the problem solved, I forgot to delete one line, try it now

[ark666]

Thx for the help, problem still remains.
:(

[OndraSter]

When you click recmod, console window should pop-up what's the last thing in it?

[af974]

Ehmm......sorry for stupid question but ....when after have recmoded the folders they disapear and some 0 bytes files appears.....what i have to do now :o ?

Hi, installed msxml4.0, and now all works great.

Excellent tool bro.

Cheers. :)

[twopumpchump]

nice app :) works fine on win 7 32bit for me.

[OndraSter]

Ehmm......sorry for stupid question but ....when after have recmoded the folders they disapear and some 0 bytes files appears.....what i have to do now :o ?
Are you recmodding just module like adc.exe, not whole folder like browsing, right?

[Pisca]

OndraSter
Congratulations for this great tool, even if I've noticed only after moving from Kaiser to Topaz :D

Keep up your Super Work

[BesFen]

I encountered a problem, here my Screenshot:

http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv128/BesFen/GENE%20PICTURE/RecMod.jpg

and the module name change, there is _ in the tail.

[OndraSter]

it gets renamed. Check that folder if there is inside of it the right named module (tapres.192.dll). If yes, try getting the version I posted as second in about 5th post, it fixes one problem, it might help you too.

// it gets renamed because NTFS can't handle in one folder both same named file and folder, so I rename it to _, move the recmodded file and delete the old module folder.

[OndraSter]

OK, new version with Reversmode option avaible:

Recmod - displayed at folders
Reversmod - displayed at EXE, DLL and MUI files :)

So now you can Recmod eg tapres.96.dll, modify icons with PE Explorer and with Reversmod pack it up back to module. All with two-clicks (right-left):D

[mbarvian]

very easy solution! thanks for this :)

[Nixeus]

Hi y friend,

I would like to use your tools but unfortunately, i have a bug :

I think you need to use the NTFS permission in your tool in order to set the folder to recmod as owner permission ;)

How can resolve it ??

Thanks a lot :)

[OndraSter]

You can't recmod whole BLuetooth folder, you must go one file by file. I'll add support for whole (or multiple) folders at once later.

[TehPenguin]

Two issues:

1. If there exists no "Shell" key for the dllfile or exefile registry keys (ie HKCU\dllfile\Shell or HKCU\exefile\Shell doesn't exist), installation fails
2. Attempting to Reversemod multiple files at once fails - due to the file being reversemodded being renamed to "tmp" (may I suggest renaming it to <the_old_file>.tmp (eg shell32.dll becomes shell32.dll.tmp))

[OndraSter]

1 I write it to HK classes root, so I thought this is sooo common that it won't fail :). I'll add that possibility to installation.

2 It doesn't do more at once, it goes only for first parameter. I'll add it too.

1. Sorry, HKCR not HKCU. Also I think it is quite common since most people don't have any application associated with dll's

2. What I meant by this is that if I select multiple dll's, right click on them and select "Reverse mode this file" then multiple instances of Reversemode are launched and each instance attempts to name its file to "tmp"

[humrod]

Hi fellow, i'm trying to use your tool on an spanish w7 system and when click on "RightClickRecmodInstaller.exe" the instaler stops with this leyend:

"HKCR\Folder\shell\osRecmod" access denied.

What can i do?

Thanks in advace

[OndraSter]

Disable UAC and run it as administrator...

[humrod]

Thanks, seems to be ok now

[neilverma]

Silly questions. I have a Kaiser with a 6.1 rom. I am now trying to cook WM 6.5 28008 using osKitchen.

1) Do I simply recmod each and every folder or are there certain modules that cannot be / not supposed to be recmoded? In that case does this app know / warn which folders not to touch?

2) After recmodding, how do i integrate the recmodded files into osKitchen?

3) osKitchen has a RecmodSYS.list in the kitchen folder - do i still keep that list or delete it?

Many thanks in advance.

[OndraSter]

The main difference betweek RecmodSYS.list and this right click app is that this app recmods only one module, and RecmodSYS recmoddes whole folder (like browsingie, browsing etc).

From this come all the difference to your answers :).

[neilverma]

Thanks for the clarification. It seems then that the recmodSYS.list is the better solution when using your osKitchen ;)

This question may not be completely related to this thread but I wanted to ask if each and every package contained in the SYS folder is safe to recmod. If it is then can i simply add the name of each package in the recmodSYS.list?

[OndraSter]

No, you should recmod only browsing, browsingie, then maybe windows live if you use etc, but I suggest not recmodding too much.

[neilverma]

Ok. I will stick with the recmodSYS.list then. Thanks.

[Alex-V]

WOW...thanks...using evirus kitchen for polaris....

evirus have a recmod button but file for file...and not for a folder... (and the time for a complete recmod with the files i need is about 1.5 h)

So thanks for this tool.... :):):)

[appelflap]

Thanks for this utility! Very, very useful

EDIT: Never mind, I got it working. Great tool! Thanks!:)

[WoZZeR999]

What did you do to fix it, I had it working fine before my format, but now I can't get it to install the extention for dll's, and I get the above error.

Edit: Post #18 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5018176&postcount=18) fixed it

[Germypan]

This is a fantastic tool! :):):)

[NIKOSXRI]

Fantastic!
I dont know why but in my pc reversemod choice appears only in exe files.
What is wrong with my pc?
Thanks.

This post describes exactly my problem. Except in German...
Have you got the RightClickRecmod.exe and recmod.exe in:

C:\Program Files\OndraSter\osRecmod
?

I think it should work when using portugese "Program Files" folder since it reads from system vars, but try it creating in English.

Yep, that's where it is.
I may have the problem solved, I forgot to delete one line, try it now
Didn't help, the problem persists.
Hi, installed msxml4.0, and now all works great.

Excellent tool bro.

Cheers. :)

Well and this didn't help either. Any further Ideas? What do you need to debug? I guess the problem is on my side, but I have no Ideas.

Thx in advance

[OndraSter]

Hah I really don't know anymore what can be causing issues, as long as HKCR\dllfile exists, it should work.

[GSDLt]

Hah I really don't know anymore what can be causing issues, as long as HKCR\dllfile exists, it should work.
It exists, what should be its content?
You find mine attached.
Is it correct to assume, that the missing dll file is supposed to be in a folder like this: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 or should be somewhere else, like system32?
Thanks

[OndraSter]

I think the problem might be this:

try creating new key ("folder") in the HKCR\dllfile called shell so it looks like this:

http://clip2net.com/s/MDfr

and that might fix it.

[GSDLt]

Hmm, the picture is cut off right under the shell folder. Is there a trick to view the pciture. Please upload it here.
Thx for your help

[OndraSter]

Create just the shell folder, the rest will be created when you click the Install button. I haven't seen the "shell" folder in your "dllfile" directory.

[GSDLt]

I did as you told me and after several restarts, I finally have entries in dllfile, but only for reversemod, is this right? B/c the main problem still persists.

Thx so much for your help

[OndraSter]

okay, it seems that you don't have it at any other, create this key "shell" also in:

HKCR\.mui
HKCR\exefile
HKCR\Folder

and re-run the installer (might need uninstall first) again.

[trueg]

I hope you guys don't mind me asking this in this thread, but are there tangible benefits to converting everything to modules?

I see in the SYS that most but not all DLLs and EXEs are in module form. I assume there is a reason MS left these in file form.

On the other hand, LG must have been lazy because in my OEMMisc folder there are over 200 dll, exe and mui's in file format.


Thanks,
TrueG
