okay, so I looked at all the rom cooking wiki's, and rom update wikis... can't find out if this is even possible or how to do it.
basically, there's some games and applications built into some of my roms that I want to have in one of the custom cooked roms that I liked. so how do I move it over? is this even possible?
if so, I haven't been able to find any posts about this... so sorry if it's already posted somewhere.
TIA
you must have the phone connected to your computer. move the cab file over to your phone after syncing. Find the file on your phone , click and install.
I know how to install cab files... I mean extract them... is there a way to extract a program that's already on an existing rom?
for example... xxx's WM6.1 rom has game A included. how do I extract that so I can put game A on my phone?
yeah dynamite, think the other way around.

extremly difficult...all though it is possible its not worth the effort...you would have to go through file explorer and find each file accociated with that program...then every regestry key...then create a cab from these files that would install them into each appropriate directory....yea...

Anyone know how to extract a CAB file which is built into a ROM of a device?
I want to create a CAB of something which is installed in the ROM. Any idea??
You need to use DumpRom.exe to extract the files from ROM to your computer.
Try to search closely about it
Good luck!
Does DumpRom produce proper files? On my universal I have a lot of slightly corrupted executeables/resources. Doesn't bother me much, I use another method, but perhaps I have an old copy of dumprom?

Yes,some files could result corrupted
Will this work with the network branding and customisation packs?
Been searching a couple days how to install rar files on to my Verizon XV6900 vogue with WM6.1. I am attaching one of the files I am tring to install, for general help. I can seem to install in activesync, from withing sorage card, etc.
Thanks, in advance
Dave,
Unless you have pocket Rar installed on you device you cant install as its zipped. Download a free RAR extractor on your PC, unpack it and you will find your CAB or files inside...... simply copy them/it to your PPC and voila
pocket rar is installed
I did zip the file to upload it, the forum would not accpt it in rar form. When I put the rar on my device ((XV6900 vogue verizon) WM6.1 ROM 3.14.605.1), I was able to unpack it but there was no cab. I upoaded it tthinking somebody would check the contents and help me out.

Sorry about that Dave, i mis-understood what you were trying to do It would help me if u gave me the link where you got the rar file as it would probably contain instructions as to where on ur device you need to copy the unzipped files to (like /windows etc). Let me know where you got the rar file from.
cant find original thread I d/l from

All I was basicall looking for for my phone was the Diamond Theme and the diamond dialer. I 'm pretty new to modifying my phones. I did flash the rom to the magicflo but went back. Is there a way to just THEME my current rom?
I know that the prograns cooked by the chefs in their ROMs can't be uninstalled by simple going do the "Remove Programs" button on the Settings part of the ROM.
I want to know if there is a way to uninstall some programs cooked in the ROMs BEFORE flashing them into Kaiser...
Is there any program that can easily do this?
Is it safe?
Can it be done without major knowlowedge of the cooking/programming processes?
Since I use the ROMs in Brazil, some of the programs that usually comes cooked in the ROMs are pretty much uselles here (e.g., that one that "reads" the name of the contact that's calling).
Usually I just disable then, but it is kind of a waste of space leaving them there without using.
I would like to know the answer as well

Hi there,
I would use a ROM Image Editor software.
Search for htcRIE_0.4.0.51.exe. open the .nbh file and you will see all the
files included in the ROM. Some files you can delete without having to worry about anything. Give it a try.
I don't take any responsibility if you modify/delete files and it breaks your phone.
Good Luck.

Thank you! I'll look for it.
But the chance of breaking the phone is relevant? I mean, why deleting some third party app files prevent me from flashing another ROM later, if anything goes wrong?
I don't want to deal with anything related to the OS itself, just eventual softwares installed, like MS Voice Command or RSS Hub.
If the only way is to delete file by file I'm note too sure if it is worth the work...
I honestly toought that there was a program that you could open the .nbh file and it would show the installed prograns and the option to remove them.

not worth the work???? what work??? u open the nbh file, u select the file, and u delete it. much less work than actually recooking the rom.
i use htcrie all the time, and i've screwed up many many times. If u screwed it up, and deleted something that you shouldnt......then just start again from a copy of the original and make sure u dont delete it.
or, the 'easy' way (and most chefs provide this) is to flash a 'lite' or 'naked' version of the rom series, then add the crap you DO want. or, download a kitchen and cook your own!

But I believe that most of these programs are not in one simple file... Or are they?
I though that the process of deleting the files would implie deleting ALL the files related to the program.
Some of them put files in the '/Windows' folder, '/My Documents' folder and so on...

Well, first of all, not every chef makes naked ROMs. Second, I usually DO want 90% of what comes in the ROMs, and want to delete one or two programs. So, flashing naked ROMs to install EVERYTHING else is a option that I don't want do consider...
About cooking a ROM, I would do it if I have the time to learn everything about it. Since I can't do it with the knolowedge I have and don't have enought time to learn it all, I'm tryng to find one alternative that can solve my problem.
so you delete ALL the files associated with that program then.

Hehehe... Don't even joke about it!
As I said, I just want to delete SOME files of THIRD PARTY softs. I'm going to stay the hell away of any file related to the OS itself.
And I really can't see why this could brick my device... Since any problem will occur only in the ROM itself, I'll probably be able to reflash another ROM...
I wanted to cook a ROM myself, in portuguese and with the programs I use, but I just don't have enought time right now to do this...

You will see the .exe .lnk some more have more file but most will be the .exe thats the bulk, i had look @ prog and seems pretty simple, yet not going to as Tilt has enough storage memory for me just to hide .lnk's and not worry

Get a M2D .cab and crack it open with WinCe Cab Manager or the likes and you will be able to see.
a person posted below that if someone can be kind enough to upload all the manila files from their windows folder on their rom then he can create a cab out of them for everybody else to use.
Please please please will someone do this or tell me how to take apart a rom to do it, this would open up 2.6 to most people who own any HTC phone, not just topaz, like me, Rhodium
-- original --
Could someone make a cab version of 2.6 to save having to flash a whole new rom for it, i know someone did it with 2.0
Thanks
Mark
Me too.
Thank you
+1, please!
+1, i like it! i need it! i want it!!!)
for me too please and thanx
but exist cab for manila 2.5 or 2.6..... i have the official rom and i want update manila only...it's possible?????
tnk's
That would be a very great .CAB file if it exists or someone has the knowledge to create it !
+1
... or the OEM package for people like me who, although they have tried until they are blue in the face, just can not create a successful OEM from a CAB.
OEM packages ... one of the banes of my life
i can if someone using the rom just posts the files here..copy all the _manila files frm the wqindows folder and post them here in a zip file
i can make a cab
you can post the zip no cab file pls!?!?

I actually can help but my internet is too slow.
The only thing you need to do is to flash this udk Leo R1 WM6.5 ROM and then copy the Windows file to storage card, zip it and upload it here or send it to rotastrain to make a cab.
I have udk Leo R1 WM6.5 ROM, but dont have Topaz, how can i find Manila 2.6 files in this rom without flashing?
ok.......i try copy window folder and zip for you......tnk's
we'll wait, but we dont need all files from windows folder, we need only manila files, i think... tnk's

im also Topazless as i have a Rhodium, someone out there has to have a rhodium or a kitchen must be able to extract them?
work in progress !!!!!!!!!!!1
waiting for the miracle!))
I have got the ROM Image Editor. I edit the nbh file of the ROM. I need to know how to add my cab files to the ROM so it gets installed automatically as I flash the ROM. This will help get things up running promptly with each new ROM I install.
Anyone can help ?
SASHIMI check my ROM thread for download if can't find....
already use Sashimi
I already have Sashimi 8.0 & I use it. But I see building the cabs within a new ROM in way that gets them all installed as I flash the ROM, would be great & fast.
I have the ROM Image Editor but I just don't know where to add the cabs within the ROM folders to reach the target.
Is there anyone who can help on this ?
Cooking
You're going to have to cook them into your ROM, which won't be in the form of .cab's any more. They'll be in EXT. And everytime you change roms, you'll have to extract whichever rom you dl, and recook it with the programs you want in there. SASHIMI is probably your best bet unless you feel like spending a lot of time on each and every ROM just so that when you flash it the programs are already in there.
Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm off base here, but it's probably not worth it for speed and ease issues.
Happy Flashing!

What ROM editor are you using? Perhaps htcRIE_0.5.0.12 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377514 ?
If that´s the one you are using I don´t think is capable to do what you want, as drumboy said: Cooking is the way

Yes it is htcRIE_0.5.0.12. Do you know how to install the cabs in a ROM ?
Usually after a ROM is installed & during customization, some cabs appear in folder Volatile & are then installed. Can I place my cabs along those ?

Ok if you want to install it after flash, then you can do it a few different ways, like UC, XDA_UC or tom's autoinstall. But for all those you need to cook them in the ROM.
If you dont have it cooked in, then shashmi or programs similar to those will help.
You cant edit a ROM using htcRIE, in the sense add cabs and stuff, and recompile it to make it bootable in my opinion.
You can play with it and see! If the ROM is using runCC, then you need to add cabs, and mofify config_operator.txt file to add those cabs to execute in first boot.
Hope this helps.
