New Site:Web Based CAB Creator for Common Registry Settings

Hi Everyone,

Since I specifically built this for my Mogul, and I frequent this forum area more often than xda-developers, I figured I would cross post it here for you guys. The official thread for additions etc is here:

New Site:Web Based CAB Creator for Common Registry Settings - xda-developers

----------------

Hi Everyone,

I, like many of you, spend way to much time setting phones up over and over again. Since a big part of this is registry edits, I have built a web site that allows you to check off the registry options you want, which it then uses to create a downloadable CAB file to install that will contain all of those registry tweaks. This makes things completely reversible by uninstalling the CAB file.

Notes:
  1. This is Beta. While I have used it, and it's a very basic process, it isn't commercial software by any means.
  2. Right now this is not hosted in a place I want to keep it. If anyone has a linux hosting service with a small amount of space available with PHP and "exec" access from the server, let me know. If no-one volunteers, the site may go away.
  3. If you would like to add a feature, post in this thread: New Site:Web Based CAB Creator for Common Registry Settings - xda-developers . Ensure you include a short, one line headline for what the registry entry is.

Without further delay, here's the site:

Registry Changer - Create your custom cab file

Thanks,
Ben

I will do my best to keep this one updated. If it starts getting used a ton and tons of posts I may have to drop back to just the official thread though.

In any event, I have just completed an update that allows end users to add registry entries to the database. Enjoy.

Thank you very much. I believe the "Camera Enhancements" entry is mis-titled. Shouldn't it be Rotate Picture 90 degrees, not 180 degress?

hmm, not sure how much I like the idea of anyone anywhere being able to add/edit/change all these settings. I have a hard time trusting the whole world to not put malicious changes in. But awesome tool.

I was originally thinking that. However, someone could just as easily post a registry edit into a forum or wiki that was malicious. And where would we be today without open source and open collaboration? Who's to say that someone wouldn't send me a malicious entry and I add it inadvertently without fully understanding it?

With the audience this tool is geared towards, I surmised that most people using the tool would have the discretion to look at the registry key underneath the description to ensure it seems like it matches. Most of us are familiar with registry entries, and would have probably read about what the changes were before we went to the tool anyway, so in the end, I decided to make it open (and Beta for it).
