Official Personal OEMizer Thread

[nickm]

Hey Tier,
under the "files and shortcuts" I have tried to drag and drop cabs, and also import them.

When I drag and drop them the files don't look the same as when I import them. Importing them seems to extract the files from the cab.

But neither of them seem to work.

If I drag and drop a cab into the blank area. It never installs the cab when I flash the ROM.

When I import the cab it opens it (sometimes), extracts the file. Sometimes I get and error (media is write protected).

If I make a personal OEM with cabs in it. It causes the "buildOS" to error.

If I make a plain "no frills" OEM (name, setting, ....) It loads fine when I "BuildOS".


Any ideas what I am doing wrong. Or is the "shortcuts portion not working?

If you want to convert a cab into an OEM then you use import. If you just want the cab file itself to be there in \Windows then you drag and drop.

Importing not only adds files but registry settings. It's not perfect so you'll have to look through each of them to make sure there are no errors. That's most likely where the buildOS error is coming from. You may want to check your temp/log.txt to see the exact rgu and line # that's giving you problems.

As for write protected.. if your tools directory is on portable media, make sure write protection (or read only) is off. Cab files will need to be extracted to a temp folder to be added.

I tried to use the OEMizer. I downloaded it today. I put my Owner info in and cahnged the Items on tody screen in personal section. I enabled time zone sycronization for eastern time zone. I didn't make any other changes. I cooked Rom with AKUo.7 6c kitchen. After burning ROM the screen came up with the speaker icon, battery meter and most of the signal meter missing. The time sync worked. I cooked ROM without personal changes and the icons returned. Any idea what may have caused that?

Edit: I took the today and apperance items off and it works fine. Only thing is I don't know how useful it is to only be able to add owner information. This sounds like a great tool, I just need to figure it out.

Thanks Boss That helped me. I didn't know the difference.

There is an option on the today "tab" to hide or show those icons.

OK, I tried this and it looked great until it got to the end. I tried to put two cabs in the file by importing them, plus the personal settings. Here is the last part of the log.

Failed to parse value name HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\ LVM Time!!!
InitRegistry FAILED in file ".\Registry\ffffffff-4283-4086-929e-1601638fae3d.rgu" within a few lines of line 206.
ImportFromPackageListStrict: (RGUComp) !ERROR failed importing ".\Registry\ffffffff-4283-4086-929e-1601638fae3d.rgu"
wmain: (RGUComp) !ERROR failed building DEFAULT hives

I am using VG's WM6c kitchen and it worked fine until I tried to do this. Should I have made three OEMs out of this. Obviously, I have goofed up somewhere.

Your help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Never mind. I found out that my LVM Time CAB was not working.

I did however find a few bugs. When I selected to hide the time on the today screen, it blanks out the bars of reception. Also, I selected to have the soft buttons on the today screen be calendar and contacts and they were but they do not work and complain that they can't open the shortcut or locate file.

The device name did not change from Apache to my name???

I don't seem to be able to set the power settings as the back light and power setting are not in my system settings?????

Other than that, I am going to go nuts creating OEM files!

Thanks greatly!

[tiermann]

The buttons should already calendar and contacts, so no need to change them. Just leave them unchecked unless you want to change one of them to something else.

As for the signal bars, no idea. I don't know the default settings for Verizonguy's kitchen.

[nickm]

When you hide the battery it hides part of the signal strength.

Problem is TBOpt=0 doesn't work in WM6. I'll have to use a new key for that in next version.
