Does anyone know a way if any to add cab files to dcd's 3.0.1 kitchen so they install with the phone? i would like to have winrar and such install with it so i dont have to reinstall the programs after a hard reset ect. so far the closest i got was to get the files to start up with the CU customizer thing but it wont install the cabs.
Search the forums for OEM's and how they're used...you'll find the answer

I searched for that but i couldn't find anything that was helpful.
I did manage to find a program after doing a bunch of Google searches. The roms flashing right now, i hope it works.
please post any information that you found that was useful. i too am trying to learn how to cook.

I seem to have problems getting Pocket e-Sword up and running with the latest 2.2.1. I suspect it might be the missing SQLCEMobile, but am not sure...could someone post a link/upload a copy of the cab? I've tried a whole bunch of cabs off MS page but none of them seem to be helping.
Thanks!

Maybe this?

I found this, and though it is OEM maybe it will work...hope so because I need SQL as well!
Hrm...e-Sword comes with the MS SQLCE2.0 package (which I have installed). When I forget to install it I get the "cannot find resources" error...but I get the same error even with the package installed. Grrrr....I think I'm going to have to find that cab DCD pulled out of his ROM somewhere :-(

i read the wiki but it confused me more than helping me...it also looks like i need 2 files from there but 1 link is dead so can someone guide me through the whole process of adding my own favorite cabs into a kitchen so i can cook my favorite apps into a fresh rom and wont have to reinstall everthing one by one whenever i flash
OEMizer is the program you need.
Updated the link in the Wiki.
lllboredlll, I don't OEMizer is the tool he was looking for. At least the last time I checked, OEMizer was for configuring/customizing the Phone settings not creating a new package.
Unless I have a magical version, which I doubt I do. You can import a cab and then edit a few settings, thus making it an OEM.

It can do both.
Well heres the thing, I am a complete noob when it comes to kitchen's. so I have worked w customs roms and have the latest dcd rom ( Which I than DCD for it, and many should to). So here I am and read a litle about the kitchen where I can customize my own OS. so i download the kitchen follow the steps on
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Titan_RomKitchen
cool BUT I get this error: error building default.hv and user.hv.
so i googled it, found some stuff but I still CAN't make a rom .
sorry if anyone posted this already, but i have searched for many answers and not found any way to correct this.
thanks.
Hey eggie,
When that error happens it usually means you added some OEM's that conflict with something already in the kitchen, or another OEM you added. when this error happens you should see at the bottom of the buildos window an error. Please copy this info down and reply here with what it says....
Thanks. you were right
I forgot to mention I converted some cabs to oems.
so when you mentioned about a conflict I looked at the cabs and removed regedit which i made by mistake. and now it works exelent.
thank you very much.
Okay I have flashed my telus titan many times using the usb method and the flash card method (prefered) now I would like to learn the kitchen method, which I understand I can modify to include the programs I have to load after I do the flash. I get the buildnb and then selecting the programs I like, what I would like to know is if I want to add my tomtom 7 to the build is this possible. plus some other games that I have. What folder to I add these files to? If there is already a discussion about this could you send me a link.
Cheers
I'm not sure how buildnb works, but I'm more familiar with BuildOS from ppckitchen.org and with that, all you do is copy the stuff you find into a folder and BuildOS loads it in as part of it's stuff you can pick from. I would give it a try and see if it's better/worse/indifferent for you. And the guys at ppcgeeks.com are always posting stuff about the kitchen and custom roms. I don't see much here about the kitchen, it's mostly about custom roms.
jc, the kitchen is quite easy to use. But you cannot just dump programs into it and have them available to select from buildnb. The programs that you have will most likely be in the form of a cab. For use in a kitchen the programs need to be in the form of an OEM. There are tools available to OEMize a cab. Just do a search here and you wiull find the tools you need. Then just dump the OEMs into the existing OEM folder inside the kitchen and then when you run the kitchen the programs will be there for you to select. They will install with the ROM, not after it.
You do have other options if you dont want to OEMize your cabs. You can search for Alex's OEMs at ppcgeeks. There are hundreds of premade OEMs for you to select from.
Another alternative is to keep your cabs and just use UC to automatically install them immediately after you install your new rom. This is the preferred method for most of us now as it leads to less problems and allows for programs to be uninstalled at a later date which OEMs will not allow.
Sleuth255 has an excellent tutorial about how to automatically install all your favorite cabs using UC. Search for it and you wont go wrong.
All you need to do is find OEM packages for the programs you want. If you use DCD's kitchen just add them to the OEM folder. If you use PPC Kitchen just add them to the User OEM folder. Then just select them once you run Build OS.

Hate to break it to you, but this uses BuildOS too, just a different version. Buildnb is just a batch file that g'reloc's and calls BuildOS among other things after BuildOS is run.
I'm trying to learn this stuff too.
Here's some of the stuff that I've found:
OEM Tutorial Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347361
there's more links at the bottom of the 1st post in the thread
Here's the link to packages - say for Kaiser - So I don't know if they can be used on Titan? Anyone knowledgeable please chime in.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_software_recs
??? All the links on Alex's thread seem to be Kaiser based - how much of this is applicable to the Titan and/or other devices?
I agree that ppcgeeks is a good resource too.
DCD's kitchens seems to be fairly easy to do a build. I'm still learning what I want, which versions to include, what everything that's there does, etc...
In theory it seems simple, I'm not finding the learning curve to be all that easy though. A lot of trial and error. But that's part of the challenge, I suppose.
It would be nice if the people with a lot of experience would chime in with tips, links, and comments that would help gather the information into one place for those of us that are learning - maybe I need to go hunt through the wiki's some more, IDK. But sometimes it seems the more threads I read the more confused I get.
My opinion to all of you...and again..this is just MY opinion...take it or leave it...
Build the rom using the kitchen as is with no added personal OEM's. Install all programs/applications/tweaks after flashing either manually, or much easier by UC.
I've converted a few so far, and they haven't turned back. OEM's can be so messy, and can be a HUGE pain in the ass if you need to uninstall/troubleshoot any problems.
My advice would be to read the entire thread on UC, as well as the threads in the Titan Upgrading forum pertaining to UC (I know I've talked about it quite a bit, as well as many others).
Sound good to me. I'm not one who likes to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to, but I am willing to go through a little extra pain to get what I want. If I can get the same results through UC vs. OEM'ing CABs, I'm game. The OEM'ing of CABs so far for me has been a real pain in the arse.
I will do some more reading on UC since I haven't totally gotten the results from that yet that I want. I'm sure my minor problem with the UC cfg file is not unique.
What about adding some of the nueTools into the DCD roms? Reading the text in the included files - some of them can only be rom'd like the ext'd rom utility. Looking that over, I haven't figured out, with any reasonable confidence, how to add this to DCD's roms. I have searched some, but not extensively on this one yet.
Hello All,
First off I want to say I have done a lot of searching in this forum and many others concerning my problem. My problem is trying to switch the TF3D theme from the stock verizon theme to the original black. From what I have read, I have been instructed to dl Diamond TF3D Config Setup, which I did many times. It loads successfully, but when I launch the program it gives me an unexpected error message. Does anybody know what is going on and how I can fix it? Does it have to do with it being a verizon phone; ifso, how can I change my theme?
Thanks.
Hello Noobie
Yea you need to delete the tweaks and it should work. You should also switch your roms. Verison software is horrible-by far the worst. Very slow.
Thanks alot. Its just that one file within the cab right? So I would delete this before putting it on my phone and running it?
Also, I really do want to flash the ROM, but I'm still not sure which one to use. Any recommendations? Are they stable enough at least as much as the stock rom? I just don't want to flash a rom with hella stuff on it that takes up memory and compromises stability and reliability.
Thanks again.
You need to install .Net 3.5 in order for Diamond tweaks to work. Search for .net framework 3.5 and install that first.
i already intstalled 3.5. still did not work. but i have not tried deleting the tweak file. im just not sure if ineed to delet on my computer before i move the cab to my phone and run it.
hi guys can any one till me where can i downmoad the full file of .Net 3.5 ? i mean the 37mb file not the 2.6mb from microsoft website. i have internet only in my phone and i ca't have access to pc with internet. so if anyone can till me where to find the full size .net 3.5 to download i will be thankfull

Yeah, after you have it installed, go out and delete that tweak file and it will work like a charm.

I stumbled across this zip file the other day.If u wana use the tweak just replace the tweaks.xml with this one. Im not sure who credit for this file belongs to. But if it is yours or u know whos it is let me know and i will definitely give credit where it's due.
help with themes
So have i been searching around for a while and have not been able to figure out what the hell i'm doing wrong...
i installed DiamondTF3d conf tool, i downloaded some themes (.cab(s)) but i was not able to find them while going through TF3D config. I'm sure it's something simple i'm not dong, any help would be appreciated.
well the one i used (the Htc black) was a .theme i think
