New ROM build, small problem and a question

[azmp1]

So i've sucecssfully built a ROM last night, not too heavy, some additions. Works great! Thank you guys a million!

Well, almost works great, so far the only thing that i can't get working is HTC Home plugin... its there in Today applet, selected, as well as the icons, but does not show up on the Today screen.... Is it something that can be fixed without rebuilding the ROM?

Also another question, is there anyway i can extract and install apps from the kitchen .rar? I'd much rather do that then having to rebuild the ROM each time i want to try an new app from the kitchen...

Thanks!!!

Helmi_c WM6.1.

I think i see my problem though, i've selected both versions of HTC Home in my built... stupid me. I'll reflash when i get home.

My other question on the ability to install apps directly out of kitchen still stands though... any help there?

Thanks!

I don't think it's possible. Extracting them is possible, but they are in OEM folders that have often been extracted from CAB files. The CAB is what does the actual installation of the application and it is no longer there.

The upshot is that most of the programs that can be included in the ROM do have installation/CAB files available with a little searching. For instance, I found CAB files for the Diamond keyboards, PIMBackup, WKTsk and more. Do a little searching on this forum as well as XDA-Developers and you can find a lot of what you are looking for. Some of them are retail apps and can be found with a quick Google search.

No2chem has a tool for installing OEMs without rebuilding....nuePackage or something similar.
