Question For The Technically Inclined

Ok, so I've been busy learning how to flash roms to my mogul, and it's a real cool thing to do (I'm sure I'm stating the obvious) My one single question is how can I get certain programs to be the default instead of the usual. For example, I have a couple of Vito programs, SMS-Chat and Funcontact, I would like those to be my defaults when I push the corresponding buttons in the tf2d interface. I've been experimenting with the kitchen program too and that's how I came up with the rom I have now, but I have no idea how to add those programs into the list that comes up with all the options, so any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Obviously you have to have OEMs for cooking into your ROM.

also edit your SDconfig.txt file. this is if you have CAB files you want installed every time

Well an OEM is like a RAR file or ZIP file containing the installation files, but a CAB is more like a setup.exe type file. Maybe you could search around. A simple way I just do is keep the cab files on my storage.

Ok, experimenting now....I'll let you know how I do with the BuildOS program and trying to accomplish what I want.

ok, made the cabs into oems, cooked my ROM, and then flashed it to my device. Nice....everything installs like I want it to, the only question is how can I change the defaults so when I press on the contacts for example it opens FunContacts and not the regular windows contacts. Is that a registry tweak for the TF2D interface?

You can load the Softkey Applet using the cab file available here from DotFred:
http://www.dotfred.net/SoftkeyAppletEx.htm

When you select the Softkey icon in "settings" you can choose the program to be opened by either of the two softkeys, ie. the lower buttons.
