Do to the efforts of one of the chef's at XDA, a new proceedure now has the posibility of alleviating some of the most annoying features in doing hard resets.

[NEW] K's Flexi Rom [AutoCab Installation-Uninstallable Apps-BigSto-Black-WWE-Touch] - xda-developers

Specifically it is the AutoCab Install routine which should allow MANY (but not all) apps to automatically install from cab files on SD card after the customization phase of reset.

There is a thread currently tracking the apps that can successfully install in this method at: K's Flexi ROM AutoCAB installation cab list - xda-developers.


Once there is a better DB of apps and a bit of refinement in the process, this may well become the latest and greatest in ROM customizing for the layman.

BTW, all the SBSH apps can install in this method except for iLauncher.

using WinCE Cab Manager is a great tool for making CAB based registry entries/tweaks.

Then using the autocab feature of this ROM all the apps and custom tweaks can be installed automatically upon hard reset... Takes the real edge off the tweaking time involved in rebuilding a device

I've been keeping an eye on that very thread Rad..... Haven't used any cooked roms yet but this just might be the one that brings me over to the darkside.

I've been using cooked ROMs for a while. You will find a GREAT deal of improvements over the stock ROM... Especially the lite ROMs.

I've been sorely tempted to try it but am worried about bricking the phone. How involved is the process?

I've been ruinning that ROM now for a few weeks and only have one issue. the keyboard. Most of the special characters ( @ $ % : &) are all mapped to different keys than whats printed on the keyboard. I'm guessing thatthere's a cab file out there to fix this but I haven't seen it - only the complete language change cabs. Did you have this issue Rad?

the advanced configuration tool should be able to fix your keyboard mapping
