There's a utility on that site called ssnap which is nice because it can do registry dumps as well as crc32 for files with an option to exclude files in rom. I usually run it off the ppc with the storage card ejected, I couldn't get the exclusions to work properly. The files can be compared in compareit or windiff.

Also, the task manager app that seems to be making it's way into alot of these roms seems to have a pretty decent registry editor as well. It even has the option to export MULTI_SZ/MUI_SZ in "RGU format" although it seems that the hex output by most other reg programs works as well. If you use the rgu format option, strings that contain \, rgucomp complains since these should be double backslash (\\).

Over in the wiki, I posted a link to this app. I like it because it runs from your PC, rather than your phone, so it tends to make life quite a lot easier that way.

The catch? It doesn't identify the registry entry type, so when in doubt, you'll still need to check your phone directly (like with a desktop PPC registry editor).

Thanks Sogarth for pointing out the registy dump stuffs. Worked great. I was able to determine the registry for tomtom really doesn't matter so that OEM package is working. As for phonealarm, i extracted all the reg entries and created the package but the phone locks up right after booting up.

Anyone succcesfully got phonealarm to work as an OEM package yet?

Thanks

I tried for hours to get Phone alarm to work with no luck. I was hoping someone smarter than me might figure it out!

Does anyone know how I can add my registration information to Resco and Wisbar Lite in the OEM? I can seem to find a registry entry???

RJB, how far did you get with phonealarm? do you have the reg entries?
Thanks,

Ok, a few steps forward and back, I am re-cooking the (hopefully final) versions of these OEMs - if it all works, spiffy

AlarmClock (link wrong) **Fixed**
smartskey no link in startup **Fixed**
GreenBatteryFix
(reg borked, also need reg key to disable clock in taskbar) *Fixed*
TodayTime font size not set *FIXED*
MortScript (BETARC4) **fixed**
Crossbow theme **fixed**

Abandoned OEM attempts
InClose
BTAudioToday
(Both of these have \Program Files\appname\ file paths hard coded, no advantage to ROM install since they both load dlls off those paths - so no space savings, just saves the hassel of tapping a CAB to install, not worth the ROM space for that )

I'll recook and beat on these again, should be good to upload shortly.

I'm using that replacement for SmartDialer, it works fine, someone else was going to make it an OEM - if not I'll do it.

Thanks,

I dropped the .rgu file I had created on the FTP in the Kitchen OEM section under Phone Alarm...

I've noticed that there are a few programs which manage to do something special to determine whether or not they've been properly installed. So far, I know about Pocket Informant and Sprite Backup - it could potentially be the case that phoneAlarm does the same type of thing.

I'm having trouble trying to build the .rgu file for Adobe Reader 2.0. Maybe someone can help me out.

I'm having trouble trying to import just one registry key into the system.

Original Key as taken.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pdffile\Shell\Open\Command]
Default="\Windows\AcroRd32.exe" "%1"

Now I know I need to double quote the Default, but I'm not sure how to handle the string value. I've tried double quoting it, using a backslash to escape it, but it still constantly fails when running CreateOS.

Any ideas?
