Happy Happy Joy Joy!

It cooked up ok... amazing, with almost everything I normally install (both internally and on the card) the ROM is still only 58 out of 64MB, so I could still squeeze in another 6Mb of apps. How cool would it be to have every app in the rom?

Anyway, sadly no time to flash... will have to wait - looks good though.

This question is for the cooking pros:

When creating our OEMs, how do we know whether or not the registry entries from the .cab are enough for the .rgu, or whether we should also be exporting the registry entries from the already-installed app on the PPC and adding those to the .rgu as well?

TIA

cook, burn, test... repeat

LOL....okie. I was hoping for an easier method, but oh well. On to trial and error.

For applications that do not put shortcuts into the startup menu, that almost always indicates that they will create registry entries for the defaults they need on first run. Watch the _setup.xml file though. If a DLL is marked "self registering" then you need to install it, and cross check its registry for sure.

Jamesus,
You are almost there, I think you are at the last step in the readme.txt. Try a hard reset. If it works you will have to hit Y to erase and space to reboot

cwest,
That's the wiki link with the instructions, you need to click the link that starts with "ftp"

schettj,
Great work! I'm definitely looking forward to a few more good OEMs

I've tried to download fromteh ftp and it still gives me the same download.

I'm using WinCE, and I see some .cabs with a Setup.dll file, but nothing about it says "self registering."

1. How do I find out that info about the .dll?
2. If the .dll is needed, where in the OEM do I put it to get it to install?

sfaure03,

I noticed that your prj file in your build environment is different from ImCoKeMaN's prj file in his kitchen. Looks like yours adds the sprint splash screen and seems to have a different checksum type number at the end of the first line.

About a week ago, I remember ImCoKeMaN saying that he was unsuccessful in incorporating a different splash through the prj. Can you tell us what you figured out on the prj file? Thanks!

signal, three things to look for

1. setup dll
2. self registering dlls in the files
3. no shortcuts when you know there should be some

Best thing to do is to dump the registry with the app installed from a cab. Then remove the app with "Remove Programs" and dumb the registry again. I use CompareIt to compare the dumps. BTW, I do it this way because it is usually a little cleaner and you can avoid any auto-resets.
