Hey how do you create and or edit (shortcut files) files like these????

My bad for missing this post. I release my ROM today and that's all that's been on my mind.

As far as creating shortcut\.lnk files:

Right click on an exe\.application and select create shortcut. This will create a .lnk\shortcut in the same directory the exe\application was in.

As far as editing them, if you mean their position in your ROM:

You must edit the app.dat or make one from scratch if there's not one already. If there's not one already I usually will copy and paste one from another package and then just delete all the info. in it so I have a clean empty app.dat to work with.

For example, I have PIM Backup in my Start Menu Tools folder. To accomplish this I created\edit this app.dat:

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools"):-File("PIM Backup.lnk","\Windows\PIM Backup.lnk")

The first part "("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools")" tells it where to put the .lnk\shortcut. I want PIM Backup in my Start Menu Tools folder. Most things will start out in Windows obviously.

The second part ":-File("PIM Backup.lnk" tells it what you want there and what you want it to be called. If I wanted PIM Backup to be called "Clown Soup" in my Start menu then my app.dat would look like this:

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools"):-File("Clown Soup.lnk","\Windows\PIM Backup.lnk")

Just remember if you change the name of a .lnk\shortcut you will need to adjust the name accordingly anywhere else in the kitchen that you are using this .lnk\shortcut. If you have regedits that change the Start Menu icons, you would have to change that too. For an example, let's use PIM Backup again. The start Menu regedit I use to change the PIM Backup icon is this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Tools\PIM Backup.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\PIM Backup.png"

If I were to change the name of the Start Menu .lnk\shortcut of PIM Backup to "Clown Soup" then I would also have to edit this regedit to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Tools\Clown Soup.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\PIM Backup.png"

The third part "\Windows\PIM Backup.lnk") tells it where to get the .lnk\shortcut from.

So it's:
1) Where do you want it?
2)What is it?\What do you want it to be called? (Usually this is not changed, but it can be)
3)Where is this link coming from? (Usually it's Windows\whatever the program is called.lnk

I learned this from here.

I don't think any of this info. is relevant when dealing with OEMs though. I believe only EXTs have app.dats. I thought I remember you saying something about trying to build a kitchen based mostly on OEMS. I can't help on that one, sorry.

I noticed that but didn't pay much attention to it. Thanks!

MAN, spend 2 weeks away from this thread playing with my new toy and beta testing some ROMs for people and it's still the same ol', same ol'. Constant chatter about sense!!!
How y'all doing? I finally found a phone that can handle sense without freezing up (much).

Aight, can someone teach me how to search properly for packages. I've been looking for the audio manager package that William_Fold mentioned and I can't find it. I can find talk of it and I've gone to plenty of sites where I"ve found audio manager 2.5.2016.1331, but none with the slightly older version.

Is someone could post it for the time being, that'd be great! But I'd still like to know how you guys find all the random packages. I know about the mobile underground site and a couple of XDA, but neither of them had this particular package.

[*]The GPS (My Location) icon (cross-hair) in the phone canvas seems to be set to off by default. I can manually turn it on after each soft-reset (phone options - CDMA settings), but does anybody know how to make this setting stick?
