Re: How to Customize a Custom Rom: Adding/Removing Programs

Could some of the registry entries be getting lost in the decompile somehow?

.hv reconstruction error:
Failed to parse value name HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Shared!!!
InitRegistry FAILED in file ".\boot.rgu" within a few lines of line 11170.

... again, i made no changes to the entries. I just converted to text... added REGEDIT4 to the first line... saved as Unicode. Then tried to convert the .txt back to .hv.

If you want to do the same with the v1.05 rom (decompile, recompile) i'll be willing to flash it to see if it's just me somehow. I don't see the certificate security errors in the original ROM, so I'm thinking this could really be a certificate issue. I was looking at the registry entries for the security policy which is why i got into the hive tools.

There should be no need to mess with the registry. Buildos.exe builds the registry for you. If you want to add any registry settings, add them to an OEM then drop them into your kitchens OEM directory. You can use the OEM from my Adding personal files and other stuff tutorial. Add your registry entries into the oem's RGU file. I wouldn't edit the hv files directly.

I could do up another tutorial on "adding your custom registry settings to a rom". If there is any interest....

edit: and it is probably hanging on a binary value with an odd number of values. if you add the oem and add your entries to it, it will get past that problem, with no issues...
