Thnx for the reply but i have got another question, IS THERE ANYWAY THAT I CAN INSTALL ANY SOFTWARE USING .CAB FILE AND THEN REMOVE ITS ENTRY FROM THE REMOVE PROGRAMS LIST WITHOUT REMOVING THE SOFTWARE? Thnx in advance.
While I haven't used this option, with WinCE CAB Manager you can specify when you create a CAB that the CAB can't be uninstalled after its installed. I'm not sure if the cab will show up in the remove program list then or not.
Basically the remove cab list is registry entries, but I'd be very careful trying to change any of that by hand as you could screw something up and cause the user to have to hard reset their device.
So why would you want to install something and Hide it from the user? Some of your questions (in various threads) has me a little concerned about what you are trying to do.

Don't be concerned my frnd, im not using it to make any virus or something. i wanted to put TouchFLo on my Extended ROM and if the version of HTC Cube i have, is uninstalled after installation it removes your touch ability. I guess it answers your question. And by the way im not a Hacker kind of guy. thnx.

UPDATE: I am posting a revised version of this kitchen because I noticed the version I uploaded had some nonworking buttons and I noticed lots of silly mistakes when I went back to the source code. I also have added a lot of exception handling. I also realized that by batch file doing the dumping had some errors.
Autosculpt 1.00 BETA REVISED
This is another ROM kitchen based off of bepe's PKGTool and BuildOS, uses Tadzio's improved IMGFS tools, and incorporates some simple Visual Basic code.
What you can do with this release:
Create a dump and make packages using PKGTool
Add/Remove packages
Create splashscreen, HTC Logo, and startup screen
Add splashscreen, HTC logo, and startup screen
Set all components of rom to one location for easy access to build (for lazy people like me who don't want to go searching)
(When this thing is finally released, G3 and G4 flashing support will be enabled)
Since the kitchen is still in its beta, I have disabled to option to flash the ROM to the device.
WARNING: I am not responsible for a bricked device if you choose to go ahead and flash the ROM to the device by starting up the RUU manually!
Last but not least, credit goes to bepe, maimach, tadzio, the-equinoxe for their tools that were used in this kitchen. Also, I thank Faria, mUn, mfrazzz, anichillus, Molski, and countless others who have directly/indirectly helped me understand about ROM cooking.
LINK for kitchen: http://www.sendspace.com/file/pm7az1
The update files are attached along with a readme to tell you where to put them
hmm waiting 4 this...
for an update, has anyone able to do anything with the kitchen at all? i'm guessing it doesn't work though...

Maybe I'm missing something, but I never saw anyplace to download this in your first post. Just a description. I figured you were uploading and then forgot about this until you just replied...
oh sorry, I was hoping you would post a request in this thread. i just wanted to know who was going to try it. NEW LINK: http://www.sendspace.com/file/pm7az1
as of now, i know that only nothin and badbert have it. if anyone is trying it, please post in this thread.
Wondering if anyone was successful in building a ROM file using this kitchen if you've had the time.
Feedback of any type is appreciated!
Anyone?
Anyone have any type of feedback? I'm kinda banking on that before I make a final release. I understand though if you don't have the time to test this.

I tried to download with that link and it gives me a rar file that does not open or contain anything. Any way to upload it to sendspace or to rapidshare
same here. the file is 1k i was looking forward to this.
my dreams were crushed
No luck with the upload link
I too got a very small file that was not in any particular format.
kernelguy
Sorry. I didn't know. Uploaded to sendspace. Link provided in previous post and and first post. Weird how lots of things I upload have problems with them!
Kitchen Updated!
Updated program and dump batch file located in first post. Most exceptions are now handled and buttons work properly. All batch files are now running in hidden mode.
Feedback please!
Any feedback? I'm not releasing this 'till I'm sure that it works for other people too.
Please, if you have time, give me some feedback on this program. I've also stopped my GUI aWizard project because I want to finish this one first.
Sorry for such a "noob" question, but how do you install "cab" files? Do you click on them when in active-sync or do you have to cut-n-paste them somewhere?
Just wondering because I wanted to install several programs in Vp's "add-on" list but not sure how? I tried clicking on one and it didn't do anything?
Just copy the cab to your device and then open your file explorer on your device, find the cab, and double click it. It's that simple
Read the wiki:

And enjoy your new toy
Moderator.... shouldn't this thread be locked? Not a WM6 related question...

Hi
U can install CAB files by two ways
1. Copy files to your device and double click
2. Download prgm CabViaSync u can directly install it form your desktop
http://www.modaco.com/Vista-WMDC-compatible-CAB-t248516.html
copy the cab file into your device itself ,that's all and double click on it on ppc
To copy it ,connect your device ,when activesync sync , u can click on explore button ,it will open ur device then just copy and paste
Where do you copy it to on the device? The Program menu? And then click on it from there?
I posted it here because I'm using WM6 although it's the same I gather with WM5. Sorry if it's in the wrong thread.
Thanks everyone. I'll try it.
Again, sorry if this is in the wrong thread.
dude, just copy it to say your storage card, go to file explorer, then to your storage card and click n it. lol..it's amazing, u know how to upgrade to WM6 but you dont know how to install a .cab file? lol .. wow.

THIS CANT BE IN THE WRONG THREAD YOU THARTED THE THREAD!! LOL
this is funny
Im not trying to be an ass to who-ever started this thread or the participants but this has to be the funniest question I have ever read on here. Why? because its a developers web site for test and mods and you made it here so far without even opening a cab file. thats like growing up, standing and getting food from the cubbards and then still not knowing how to open the fridge...i say this with humour not arrogance.
Is this thread serious or a joke?
I can't tell...
If it's serious, someone needs to gently put down the PPC and pick up a Nokia... more their speed.

Sorry man, I'm the bonehead. I make a living working on cars - not phones! And YES, I made it this far loading roms and not having to do anything with cabs!
The reason I'm wandering around the "developers" website is because I get the best answers here.
I'm sure if things were reversed, and you were rebuilding a "hemi" you *might* ask a silly question too.
So... before you work on the "hemi", don't you read the service manual first or do you just post the question hemi.mechanics.com?
I think that's why some people are flaming you for this question...
It's like saying you rebuilt the engine but you don't know how to add oil.
This reply is in no disrespect to you....

I'm just wanting to change up some font colors and grahics on a rom I have. I was told Eclipse was the way to go, so I set up an Android Dev machine with all the plugins and recommended tools. Now what?
Since no one is willing or able to help, could someone or a Dev be so kind to get me the correct xml file that will change the top title bar fonts to white instead of black. I will put the file in the rom and re-sign it myself.
I am by no means any good at theming, I fail pretty hard, but this might help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535630
Also, maybe try posting in the theme forum. Good luck.
There are different xml files for different stuff. Check out colorchange app. It works with cyanogen to change all stuff. Much easier that the xml stuff we used to have to do. Pm me if you have any specific questions.
If you search for colorchange or even posts by me you will find it. When I turn my pc on later I will post a link if required.
Thanks for the info mates (MontAlbert and bcrook). I will check out the colorchange app. One day I will find some write ups on Elclipse and android rom programming. Will let you know how the app worked out, MontAlbert.

Thank you for this. I will have a read later tonight. And thanks for your help. I did find the file you were refering too but am lost on if it is flashed to the phone or loaded into my dev system.

You probably want to ask these questions in the Android dev group(s) on Google groups. The digests I get every day indicate there is a lot of activity there.
I've extracted the cab of Leo Calendar view fix, from _HTC HD2_LEO07268.exe
Here the Link
NB. "PLEASE INSTALL EXE FILE IF YOU HAVE LEO, THIS CAB WAS INTENDED FOR COOKERS OR TESTING ON OTHERS DEVICES

ummm, the link is over 10months old, I think it died.....
More than likely, whatever fix this was, has already been implemented in ROM updates.
So I'm sorry, but I've searched a billion different ways on this site and google and havent found anything that helped my newb self.
Please please please someone explain in simple terms how to edit the registry files? Where can I download a registry editor for the my touch 3g (yes its rooted) I have one on my computer called Registrar but I have no clue how to get into the phones registry.
Please help!
Sorry I'm a newb

Android is not a windows based OS - it doesn't use a registry...its a Linux based OS. It is very different than a Windows system.
registry
I came from windows mobile as well so I'm not as advanced as I was in the winmo world but I think the screen sensitivity is determined by the kernal also a lot of settings are in the build prop
booo. oh well. Now to figure out what rom to use....any ideas? i always like having the latest and greatest. I'm a quickk learner I promise! I keep looking at the eclair rom but idk what to do...if its the same as the other roms where i just rename the zip file of eclair to update.zip and throw it on the memory card or if i need something else...
nvm boyz
