Hi people,

I had some spare time to build a little NVRAM editor for Windows 9x/XP/Vista to show the contents of the NVRAM backup that you can make via the DD-WRT GUI (Administration->Backup->Backup Button at the bottom). With this little program you can view the NVRAM variable names and their contents. You can also edit the contents and write the changes back, and then restore the NVRAM via the GUI again.

This is a beta version, so be careful. If you don't know what you are doing then you will probably brick your router.
In case you manage to brick your router then apply the 30 seconds reset trick.
For this you need to power down your router, then press the reset button(if it has one), and hold it for 30 seconds while you power on the router. This will reset the NVRAM contents to the default values.

The program was made with Borland Delphi 10. I will release the sources once the program has reached the "Final" status. I have some idea's to improve the program a little, like searching, sorting and change highlighting. I'm not sure if it is allowed to sort the items and then write them back. Is there anybody out there who knows this!?

Your suggestions are welcome. Please let me know if you find this program useful. If not then send you comments to "/dev/null" Wink

Enjoy!

Update 0.91
A) Added XPManifest component like suggested. Does is work!? (I cannot test this)
B) Allowed a little more space around the buttons. I don't have the missing pixel problem. Perhaps it has to do with the font and windows settings. A screenshot would help me solve this efficiently.

Update 0.92.
A) Added change highlighting and column sorting.

Hi Iron,
I will try to attach a screen shot jpg file to this post. There appears to be gray horizontal lines that appear when I page down to another page...the lines seem to dissapear if the screen if refreshed (moving the window??)

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Bob

Thanks for giving it a spin. I'm aware of this, it is only a visual artifact. I just don't know how to solve it Sad I use custom draws to color the rows. I know how to fix the lines, but I don't know which event I need to hook it up to. I will look into it...

I see you're using Delphi for your tool Smile
You should use the OnCustomDraw events as far as i know. But I even failed trying to color the items in a TreeView.

If I use the "OnCustomDraw" then the thing goes quite crazy. It is refreshing too much...
I need an event that fires after the listview was scrolled up or down. Thanks for your input.
I can show you how I color the rows if you are interested...

Hmm, that would be nice Smile
What if you use the onDraw or onAdvancedDraw events? Using just the onCustomDraw events should be enough to get it to work.
I once used the AdvancedCustomDrawItem to color just one column, the sorted column that is.

Here's the code I used:
Code:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// lv_DVDsAdvancedCustomDrawItem
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
procedure Tfrm_DoBs.lv_DVDsAdvancedCustomDrawItem(Sender: TCustomListView;
  Item: TListItem; State: TCustomDrawState; Stage: TCustomDrawStage;
  var DefaultDraw: Boolean);
begin
  if ColumnOrder[0] = SortedColumn then
    Sender.Canvas.Brush.Color:= $00F7F7F7
  else
    Sender.Canvas.Brush.Color:= clWhite;
end;


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// lv_DVDsAdvancedCustomDrawSubItem
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
procedure Tfrm_DoBs.lv_DVDsAdvancedCustomDrawSubItem(Sender: TCustomListView;
  Item: TListItem; SubItem: Integer; State: TCustomDrawState;
  Stage: TCustomDrawStage; var DefaultDraw: Boolean);
begin
  if ColumnOrder[SubItem] = SortedColumn then
    Sender.Canvas.Brush.Color:= $00F7F7F7
  else
    Sender.Canvas.Brush.Color:= clWhite;
end;

Another thing that just popped up, have you tried setting DoubleBuffered to True?

I'm doing some tests with this. Implementation is easy, but I'm not sure how the firmware handles it when suddenly some variables that used to be empty are non-existing...
I guess it should be fine, but I just don't know. Deleting empty variables will release some nvram...

Thanks for the feedback on the drawing issues... I will try it soon.

Here is a good discussion for this from openwrt. They discuss the nvram and the workings and exploration of the wndr3700 in pretty good detail. Some of it is a little above my current knowledge level, but I think it contains the information that you are looking for.

The wndr3700 has been my best router to this point and I am a total noob. Thanks for posting this link I am going to just start my mastering one router instead of just playing around with all of these scraps.
