I have created a great working ROM but there are some apps that I still want to put onto the 8125 I own. My problem is that these apps are OEM packages....so my question is how can I place them on the Wizard without re-cooking a ROM?
Is there a way that I can place the OEM files into a CAB and install from the CAB or some type of install program that I can point to the OEM files and it will install the app to the Wizard?
PLEASE HELP A NEWBIE!!!!!

PLEASE HELP THIS NEWBIE!!!!
just analyse initflashfiles.txt, and rgu.
you will get paths for files from initflashfiles.
if there's no initflashfiles file in oempack, it means, that all files needs to be placed in /windows(usually).
rgu is just .reg so rename it to .reg.
get wince cab manager and just make cab(add files, import reg).
good luck.

Hi All,
Can anyone direct me to some usefull tutorials on creating custom CAB files for my SP5.
At this stage, i'm just trying to create an automated CAB that will change the homescreen to a bitmap of my choice.
I can manually dump the file on the device, but i'd like to put it into a cab file so it will automatically dump the bitmap set it as my homescreen.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers !

Thanks for the response guy's.
I've actually got the OCP CAB manager application.
But it doesn't work with Windows Mobile 2005 based CAB's.
Smart archiver doesn't support WM2005 CAB's either
I'm finding there is a lack of suppoort for WM2005.
I guess i'll just have to make them manually by compiling from an inf file.
Can anyone post a template inf file for the WM2005 OS ?
I can use that as a base, then compile the CAB with cabwiz.
thanks again.
keep pushing ,I want to know the same thing as you.
I tried so many way to open and edit file in Cab-files for WM2005.
Just some files that can be open with CeCABManager.
Hello,
I dumped the factory ROM of my Kaiser (part00.raw, part01.raw... ).
I would want to extract from it some applications that are useful for me, and reinstall them on my new ROM (Schap 4.31).
So, is there a tutorial about a method to do CAB file ?
I don't want to use ROM cooking for now.
Sorry of my questions, I'm a novice !
;-)
Thanks in advance.

What you have is simply raw data. The eaiser thing to do wold have been to pull the cabs out of windows FIRST, then just install them. If you want to make cabs out of the OEM's just using raw data, I hope you have a lot of time on your hands, particularly if you've never done this.
The first step for constructing cabs out of OEM raw data is to reconstruct the rom. I suggest starting with this excelent guide by jcespi2005. SEE HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066
Once you've recontructed the data you'll need to pull out all the OEM data including the .rgu & .dsm files. You'll then need to create an initiaflash file with the location references for the contents of the program.
Once you've done all that you can think about making the OEM into a cab.
It' much easier (if the proggies your looking for were part of cutomization & were originally cab files) to find the cab or ask people with that original rom to post the cab.
If they did indeed start as cab files you can find them in windows already as cabs. If you're trying to cook your own rom & want the programs as an OEM package or if they were already an OEM package, you'll need to reconstruct, extract, & then compile for a cab.
If you tell me what proggie you want I can most likely point you to it as a cab already.
Visual Studio has a template for it.
Hi,
I used the search functionality, but didn't find anything useful at all. I want to create some cabs out of an oem package. I have found some people saying that I need WinCE Cab Manager, but as far as I see I will have to create the cabs manually, which will be much work in most cases.
Isn't there an automatic solution, because normally all information you need to create a cab is available in the oem package, isn't it?
So I'm asking for any advices.
Best regards
Try searching this forum using the link below. There are lot of different ways to create cab files. Personally unless you buy a commertial software, its takes long time to convert an OEM to cab if it has lot of files in it.

What excactly should I search for? The only thread I could find was this one, where they are talking about WinCE Cab Manager.
I have downloaded this application, but I don't see a way to create a cab file automatically. There are some programs, which create a oem package out of an cab file, isn't here something doing it the other way round?
i don't think there is a way to do it automatically.
ATHER90 is on the Q&A Team i'm sure he would be happy to teach you how to do it if you are interested. Just shoot him a pm.
WinCEcabmanager doesn't offer an automatic solution, nor does any other application that i know of. but you CAN import info files to WCCM which makes everything easier.
I wrote a guide on how to back up a rom to an nbh here (for the shift but same applies) and was wondering how I can modify a rom before i cook it (i have extracted the contents) - i basically just want to modify some reg settings move some files create shortcuts and install some cabs - how can i do this?
Thanks in advance,
Kris

I would try starting here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Alex's Cooking Kits
i already have cooking kits and have ripped apart my rom (and know how to recompile it to nbh) with the kitchen ... i want to know how to modify the files in the SYS folder so that i can change the rom
someone said i can do stuff with the OperatorPKG folder by editing the config_operator.txt file but i had no joy
Thanks Kris
There is really no exact way of cooking stuff. You just have to delete stuff and see what happen when you cook it! Same way with registries. Its all trial and error, and you can modify anything in the SYS folder. Some might work, some might now.
Also I may suggest that use a released kitchen (Anryl) as you base, and compare it to what you want to do! Good luck.
Is there a program to combine many cab files into one CAB?
I flash many ROMS and would like to make one cab of all the programs that I usually install after a hard reset. (I've tried sashimi, but I need it to be in one cab)
I searched about it, but couldn't find an answer.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Thanks for your help, but I was wondering about a program that will create a cab from many cabs, not UC.
Its ok, but becareful next time
there isent a way to install several cabs in a single install, though what you can do is to make a new cab file with all your data in it, but it will make a VERY big Cab ;D
no no.. what i meant is, use UC to create an installation of all your cab files. you can't combine a lot of cabs into 1 cab because it's not readable.

We'll be more careful next time.
That's exactly what I wanted, to make one big cab.
The same idea as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464758&highlight=game+pack
Its not free, but look at http://www.ocpsoftware.com/products.php?nm=cecabmgr
edit: It might be possible to extract the data from the cabs you have, and recombine them into one big cab file.
i use WinCECabManager to create cab files.. but you can't create full installations of many cab files in the same cab.
