Personal setings in cooked ROM

Hello
I have a few questions about cooking WM6 ROM.
Could anybody help me?
1. How to make my own menu start structure?
2. How set my own ring tones to notifications?
3. How to make HTC Home pack with covered contacts, music and profiles tabs?

I know these have been covered elsewhere, but maybe not explicitly and in one place - so:
1) In an Initflashes file, you'll have to tell it to move a shortcut into the \Windows\Start Menu\ folder, or the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ folder - depending where you want the link to show under the Start menu.
2) Change your ringtone/notifications to the one you want, then look through your registry for it - you might want to look around the HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds and HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications keys. Once you've seen how you want them set up, make (or edit an existing) .rgu to include these changes.
3) Have a look in Alex's excellent kitchen at the existing HTC Home modification packages. These should point you in the right direction for what files and settings to include (don't use HTC Home so can't help more on this).
If you don't know what I mean by any of the above, please do an awful lot more looking around the Wiki and related threads as starting threads around here when the information is here for the finding is a quick method for lots of flaming and not much help (friendly advice - not a threat!)
Good luck.

Thanks for answer.
1) This it’s clear for me. But I don’t know hove to change place of existing shortcut like: Mobile Office, search, Note, etc.
2) I will try this way.
3) I don’t know why, but Alex's HOME packages don’t work correctly on my Polish rom. Can’t use weather and launcher tabs.
4) I had make my own HOME packages based on previous version. In this version I don’t have tabs with settings.

While most shortcuts are set by initflashes files, the ones for those in the ROM are often set by .provxml files. In the case of Office, this is in mxipupdate_office_100.provxml which is in the SYS/Office folder in the kitchen. I just use Notepad to edit it.
Sorry I can't help with the HTCHome bits - just takes up too much space on my Today screen for my liking.

WM6.1 Program list in HTC TP

Hey people,
I've been googlin and checking this forum but I just cant seem to find how to move the icons in your Programs list (Start> Programs) toanother directory in your list.
For example you got a Map called "Navigation" any my TomTom just shows in the main Progams map. I want it to be in Navigations though...
Couldnt find anyting in the registery aswell, anyone know how to solve this?

Moving thread to Questions & Answers section.
Now to answer your question...
Using File Explorer, browse to Windows > Start Menu > Programs and simply cut and paste the shortcuts you want to move.

I have never seen such a list and would be surprised if a complete list actually exists as there are around 3000 manila files on the HD2!
The best suggestion I can make is to install something like CFC_GUI on your PC (a simple search on this forum will find it). Most of these 3000 files (including the one you mentioned) contain .png images. CFC_GUI allows you to see the image contained in the manila file, which is in many ways better than a diagram or list.
With regard to 'mounting' cabs (do you mean 'creating' cab files?), there are a few free apps available. Again, a simple search on the forum will help you find what you are looking for. I use the 'create cab' feature included in HDWall to create all of my cabs because I already have HDWall installed. It saves me installing two different apps...!

I have seen something like that here in the XDA-Wiki. Just do a search.

[Q] Customizing Manila/Sense!

Hello there!
Everyone here contributes to the forum by sharing their lovely creations, awesome! Now its my turn to make something that I can share with the community. Can anyone please guide me in the right direction to customizing or modifying Manila and the Sense UI? I have an USA HD2 running Manila 2.5.20121412.2 and Sense UI 2.5 with Co0kie's Home Tab 1.8!
Any help, links, or briefly explanations will be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance and have a good day.

The most important tool, in my opinion, to customize Manila/Sense files would be the famous CFC GUI program found HERE. Download it to your computer.
The next step is to actually get the Manila/Sense files to edit. Either copy all of the '#####_manila' files from your devices \Windows directory to your computer, OR dump a ROM that has Sense included and use the '#####_manila' files found in the 'dump' folder.
(Dumping a ROM is a fairly simple process, but I believe the steps differ per device :: I have a Touch Pro/Fuze, but I use a Kaiser Dump tool to extract the files from Touch Pro/Fuze ROMs.)
A good article/wiki to peek through, and read, would be HERE. It helped me out, not sure if it will work with the HD2 though.
****
Once you have the 'dump' folder on your computer from the dumped ROM, then Open CFC GUI and direct it to the 'dump' folder. It will, in turn, scan all of the qtc manila files {Graphics}, and from there you can extract the .pngs... alter them in Photoshop {or other preferred software}, and import the png back into the manila file.
NOTE ::
It's always good to have copies of certain manila files. For example, I customize the Flip Clocks. I created a new folder, named it accordingly, and dragged the manila files FROM CFC GUI to the folder. Doing so will copy those specific manila files to the new folder. Then you can re-direct CFC GUI to the new folder and work that way.
Once you have edited the manila files to your liking, you can:
Disable Sense on your device, replace the manila files in your devices \Windows directory with the new ones you edited, and restart Sense to see the changes.
Or you could package them into a CAB file which will automatically replace the manila files on your device.
I use the second method, as it's easier to distribute this way.
I use OCP WinCE Cab Manager. It's not free, but was well worth the purchase.
