Personal OEMizer

This is a Windows (Desktop) program I've written to help people create custom OEMs for their personal settings for use with Helmi's ROM Kitchens. It evolved slightly and is now capable of also importing cab files with _setup.xml files making it easy for people to convert cabs to OEMs.

There's a bunch of registry options/tweaks to choose from as well as the ability to add your own registry entries and files to the OEM. OEMizer will generate all of the necessary files for you and place them into an OEM folder in your kitchen.

To install, just unzip OEMizer.exe to your Kitchen\Tools folder.

Changes
--1.3.9
-Should fix some of the problems people were having with the settings saving.
--1.3.8
-Fixed the problem with spaces in the folder name during buildDSM.
--1.3.7
-Fixed cab importing. Somehow I broke this in the last release.
--1.3.6
-Added Tasks to exchange settings. This will only work if the server supports tasks.
--1.3.5
-No longer uses cabLib.dll. It shells to expand.exe to extract/import cab files. This should fix 64bit compatibility.
--1.3.4
-Fixes autoloading of settings.
--1.3.3
-Added Help to dropdown menu in menubar.
-Added help file. Also mirrored at http://tiermann.net/OEMizerHelp
-Removed speeddial from Phone & Data section until I have a chance to look it over.
--1.3.1
-Added option in Files&Shortcuts to add a Security\AppInstall RGU entry for each exe and dll on the list. Should fix "not signed with a valid certificate" problems some people may have had when running apps.
-Fixed RGU errors when a reg entry has quotes inside of quotes. It now uses the proper \" for escape character.
--1.3.0
-Fixed button mapping.
--1.2.9
-Added speeddial to the Phone&Data section. (saves in oemizer settings and uses provxml)
-Cleaned up "save" code to more easily add new items.

TDial Designer

Desktop

This is a Windows (Desktop) program that will help you design a phone skin.
Supported Dialers:
-BlueFrog
-HTC Touch (old and new(wm6 kitchen) versions)
-HTC Vogue
Make sure to choose the correct dialer in options->dialer.

It started out basic, but soon evolved. You can quickly make something simple or get more fancy with glossed buttons, alpha blending and your choice of colors.
Almost every element of the original dialer can be skinned in this app, except currently the fonts drawn on by the program itself. The digits, buttons, backgrounds, borders, smardial and status boxes can all be modified. It will output a set of images to be copied to \Windows (using a file manager such as total commander or resco which can overwrite system files) as well as a cab file for easy installation.

Changes:
--v1.1.1
-Fixed crash when saving a blueFrog theme using HotDigits or HTCHomeDigits.
-Borders are not saved for blueFrog themes using HotDigits or HTCHomeDigits, but it's better than a crash for now.
--v1.1.0
-Fixed problem with landscape progress background showing as portrait when loading a skin.
-Added ability to change the statusbox text color (and dial digits) for portrait and landscape individually. BlueFrog/new Touch only, and you'll need to use the cab version of your saved skin. Eventually you'll be able to change progress button text too as well as set seperate colors for dialer and progress, but for now I need to rework the interface to fit it all in.
--v1.0.9
-A cab file is now created in the same folder the skin is saved to. This can be used as an alternative to copying the files to \Windows.
--v1.0.8
-The Options->Dialer choice is properly checked depending on the mode you are in.
--v1.0.7
-Fixed issue with statusbox not saving in the skin correctly.
-Reworked the smartdial and statusbox code.
-Reworked the button-click code so that the downbutton color is properly displayed in the preview for BlueFrog.
-Smartdial not matching your progress screen if you're using a different background than the dialer screen is not a bug. It's the way the dialer skins. If it doesn't look right, turn the smartdial alpha up to 100%.
--v1.0.6
-Added ability to change bgcolor of downbutton for BlueFrog and new Touch
-Added ability to set different backgrounds for dialer and progress for all dialers supported.
-Added donate link to About.
--v1.0.5
-Fixed status box for blueFrog/new Touch
-Combined bordercolor for down buttons on progress and dialer screens for blueFrog/new Touch because they use the same image for downbutton now anyway.
--v1.0.4
-Now supports new Touch (in WM6 kitchen) and BlueFrog dialers.
Remember to choose the correct dialer in Options->Dialer. It will save in your settings.
--v1.0.3
-Now draws the talk button on the backdrop making it compatible with _old_ Touch and new Vogue dialer.
-Added the glosses created by FRESHMAN.

To install, unzip to a new folder. After you save your new skin, copy all the files (or just the ones you want to change) to \Windows on your PPC.

Download the current version (v1.1.1) (5-21-08)
