If you have never looked inside of a ROM ZIP, or APK and never used Windows High Level CMD Prompt input before, then this is not for. I am in no way responsible for any damage that you do to you Windows System and/or phone.
Okay so after finding out that the setup.ini file is old and may cause problems with install Cygwin, I put a install packages together. The install package is about 189MB and well install about 600MB of data on you Hard drive. this guide is long so please read the whole thing through before following any of the steps, then read again and and do each step as things come up. Each step well be in its post following STEP ONE in the OP.
SETUP ONE: Installing Cygwin
NOTE: Cygwin and Evolution-B.Y.O.R well have problems if your Windows User Name has spaces. So in order to use Cygwin if your Windows User Name has a space is to either create a new Profile-User-Name with Administrative privileges, or reinstall Windows.
1. Create directories in the root of you C:\ Drive, named ?Cygwin,? or which ever you chose (the name most not have any spaces).
2. Download the required package Evolution_Cygwin_Install and extract the Evolution_Cygwin_Install.zip to to the root of your C:\ drive. If installing on Windows Vista or older then create needed directories in your Users\Your-User-Name Directory.
3. Right click on the Setup.exe and chose run as Administrator.
4. Click Next and chose ?Install from Local Directory.?
5. Chose the Root Directory that Cygwin is well be installed to. Make sure to use the Recommended install option for ?All users.? This is for if you need to create a secondary User Profile then click Next.
6. Chose the ?Local Packages Directory, this is where the Cygwin Packages are located. If you have not installed Cygwin before, you well see a warning about Updating your Cygwin install., this is normal. Click ?OK.?
7. On this Window you well see a list of Package type, be sure that next to ?all,? ?install? is selected, then press next. Amusing that nothing went wrong, Cygwin well begin installing, you may get a file dependencies window during the install, just press okay. The install can take update an hour depending you computers hardware.
8. If all went well you should be using the Mintty.exe Terminal making it more like a Unix Terminal feel. Now type ?cmd? and the Windows Command Prompt well come up, type ?exit? well take you back to Cygwin Terminal.
If Cygwin fails to install please go to the Cygwin Q&A page.
9. Go into the root of the Cygwin direcrtory and remove the Cygwin.bat file you well not need it, because you well be using the mintty.exe Terminal not Windows Cmd Prompt.
10. Last step copy and paste these commands into you Cygwin Terminal, this well allow you to update and install packages through Terminal, which means you can remove the Cygwin installation packages if you wish. Plus this adds a more geeky feel to using the
Terminal
TIP: Because this setup of Cgywin Terminal is Unix/Linux like, Windows style command such as ?backwards slash? and ?C:\? well not work, you well need to use the ?forward slash, and /cygdrive/the drive letter "low-case"/? to go into any directory outside of the Cygwin directory.
