Sorry, I'd love to help, but I've never had a cab that doesn't convert to EXT and work. What are you trying to convert? Maybe someone on here has it working already and can post theirs.

Thanks I love the look of this task bar. ARC I like better than InCallRecorder.

Heres the one I use....after you convert the cab with package creator, run the old2new.bat file and it converts the oem to a ext....never had any problems using this version of package creator....

Can I use ResHacker to remove the icons from the Gadget Task bar that doesnt work & replace the icons of another tast bar that does? If so how?

Remote Desktop
Windows Live
Messenger
Marketplace
Mail setup
Manilla shortcuts

I know that I am supposed to look in the provxml but there really isn't a description on how to edit that to make it work. I've got the whole app.dat editing down. A little help with this would be much appreciated.

I see no one has really helped you out on this one.

Ok first go to the sys you are using, search in it for all .lnk files. DELETE THEM ONLY IF YOU HAVE CUSTOM ICONS READY.

Next, open up initflashfiles.dat file (whatever the name is). the easiest way is doing it through the initflashfiles.dat editor in the kitchen. add this:

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Applications\Office Mobile 2010"):-File("OneNote Mobile 2010.lnk","\windows\_OneNoteMobile.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Applications\Office Mobile 2010"):-File("PowerPoint Mobile 2010.lnk","\windows\_ppt.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Applications\Office Mobile 2010"):-File("Word Mobile 2010.lnk","\windows\_pword.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Applications\Office Mobile 2010"):-File("Excel Mobile 2010.lnk","\windows\_pxl.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Applications\Office Mobile 2010"):-File("SharePoint Mobile 2010.lnk","\windows\_spmc.lnk")

Thats for office. the others will be similar... or i can just share indagrooves shortcuts tweaks that has all this stuff lined up for you

Actually Office Mobile & OneNote links are controlled by two provxml's located in SYS\2xxxx\SHARED\COMMON\Office so it would be easier just to edit those.

As I said before, I edit those 2 provxml files. Just change every line that says %ce11%\Office Mobile 2010 to whatever you want. I took off the 2010 on mine. You should be able to add it to a subfolder too by making it something like %CE11%\Applications\Office Mobile 2010. If you change every instance in those two provxml files, it will change where the shortcuts go, as well as keep the folder icon with it.

I've never done it the initflashes way. I wouldn't recommend it since the provxml files are executed after that and could potentially create double. Plus with the initflashes way, you have to make sure those files are in the Windows folder before that part executes or it won't know what links you're talking about.

Cal,

Noticed you've cooked a couple of stripped ROM's for Android dual booters.

wondering if you can include that set up in your next kitchen release...so we can possibly build off of that?? Or is there just too much involved (tweaking) for the packages to get everything working.

[chewie8han]

Ok, I've been searching for this for a while, but I can't find anything. Since I cook in the apps that I use all of the time, I created EXT's out of the cab. It's been working great. However the EXT copies the files from the Windows folder to the proper folder. This creates duplicates. Is there a way to either delete the files from the Windows folder, or have the EXT MOVE the files instead of copy them? It seems like a huge waste of space.
I did find this post from Calk.

But that makes it sound like since they're original files cooked into the rom, that you can't delete them.

Any ideas?
Kevin
