How to cook a CAB theme into a ROM? - Windows Mobile Software Development

I am trying to cook a theme that is in a CAB file into my ROM. I would like to make it the default theme.
Here is the theme I want to cook:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=615905
How do I add the theme to my ROM and make it default?
EDIT: Got the theme added, but how can I make it default?
Thanks,
~moonscapex

are you using ervius visual kitchen?

Yes, I am.
I used the flamerise folder and added my theme, so that works, but it doesnt set as default.
EDIT: Can I just rename my TSK and overwrite the Default Blue TSK?

you need to add Condor GT Black Edition to your config txt. What kitchen are you using

I'm using Erverius.

in your kitchen go to EXT/"Your device"/COMMON/packages/"which ever carrier you use"/files/config_operator.
You will then see something like TSK:\Windows\Flamerise.tsk "Or it may say something else"
erase Flamerise and put Condor GT Black Edition. so it should look like this:
TSK:\Windows\Condor GT Black Edition.tsk

Thats what I was looking for
Thanks

dude can you hook me up with the Flamerise theme files... i can not find them anywhere!! lol...... like seriously

Hi,
I'm absolutely new to cooking and I also want to cook that Condor black theme into my ROM.
I am using the Ervius kitchen as well (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580429) and I don't seem to have that carrier-specific folder that fr3sh_t0_d3f writes about (EXT/"Your device"/COMMON/packages/"which ever carrier you use"/files/config_operator)
What I do have is this: EXT\Raphael\COMMON\Raphael_External_Packages
and there are seemingly all the apps in there....
Can any one help me? I know noobs are always supposed to search before asking but this post deals exactly with what I want and I'm nearly there....

It will probably be in your OEM folder, not the EXT folder.

okay, got the folder and added "TSK:\Windows\Condor_GT_Black_Edition.tsk" to the config.txt
Two problems left:
- I only got a CAB, can I use that too or can I make it into a TSK?
- Where to put the resulting TSK (or the CAB in the other case) ?

can be this done with osKitchen??? since i can't find the file what did said ??

Anyone who can help? I don't want to start a new thread for this....

Here it is. Pls advise how to put it in rom kitchen.
You need a program called packages creator 5.4. That lets you convert .cabs to packages and vice-versa. The package folder is then placed in the OEM folder before you stick it in the oven

Uhhh...you need to go into settings--> personal --> today --> and select "black & blue" as your theme after copying to windows. Sorry I thought this was obvious, guess not

Install that theme and you'll get what you need or ask the creator to make a cab for you

ok - thank you mate!!
Ahh i forgot but so the cab is always stored in the windows folder and takes storage is there another solution?
You can allways make a package and put in in sys or oem folder, dont ask me how to do it
here is something about that http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=OEM Package Tutorial
Well if the users want it, they can install it with UC. Or you could do somethink smart.
You could install mortscript, and then set it to delete the .cabs on second boot ?
Thanks for your replies buddies!
Well ok that would work - but overwritting the files in the folders won´t work?
For example: overwrite the HTCVolumeControl in (Volume Control Folder in OEM package) with that from cab file..
and for other the same..but not in the same directory hehehe

Sounds strange, but i would just install it as a .cab. Because if the user just want it stock, they can remove it
hehe ok thx

hi dreamtheather93;
my 12mb pp size untouched pdxbi1 rom is ready i will upload here soon.however i wanna learn how can i delete unnecesarry programs from rom like cnn or rss reader? how can i delete registry of these programs from rom? and last one, i knwo cab extractor and it produces everything when u extract cab file like nitflashfiles.txt, option.xml, .dsm and .rgu for the kitchen ROM. but how can i add these settings to rom? i know too much questions but i like rom cooking and i wanna learn it
once you've dumped your rom and segregated them into OEM/SYS folders, you'll see most of your packages in your OEM folder, sometimes some cooks put them into SYS folders too!
So, find the proggie, and just get rid of the whole folder with the app.
To edit registry, open the corresponding .rgu file in the folder in notepad and edit it.
I use PackageCreator2.7 by ervius to create packages, pretty nice and simple to use...search for it!
To build the OS/rom, I use PkgToolsBuildOS-5.3
I'm still stuck at a problem myself and i haven't found the time yet to get it working....
good luck m8, looking forward to your roms! cheers

You have to edit the CPR with the font that you like. Place new font in windows directory of phone and edit CPR with new font. There is a link to the thread on how to edit your CPR in sticky.
Good luck,

The CPR is located in windows directory of your phone. If you are using WM6.5 by Ookba then you have to edit the file name : Titanium_320x240.cpr. Find this file pn your phone, then copy it to PC, where you can use notepad to edit the file. Once done, you need to copy it back to phone.

No.. you don't edit your Titanium 320x240.cpr to "file name.cpr" You have to edit the content of the cpr. Please refer to the link on my previous post.

If you are no longer using the font you can rename the extention with Total Commander or Resco Explorer eg: font.ttf to font.bak then restart phone and delete it.
