Yes but it's a little confusing... Take your .jpg or .png, rename it to Homebackground.img. Make a new cab with Homebackground.img AND the original jpg/png that installs during customization, have it put Homebackground.img into \windows\ and the jpg\png into your directory of choice, then have the CAB set the registry with these keys:

Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CachedBackgroundPath"="PATH TO JPG\PNG"
"HomeBackgroundPath"="PATH TO JPG\PNG"
The reason the cab MUST install during customization (in your config_operator.txt) to place Homebackground.img is that if you place the file directly in ROM then it cannot be replaced when you go to set a new wallpaper.

Make sense? Works for me Oh yeah, this is in Rhodium manila and I've only tested it while I have the AllTabsBG mod installed.

Attached is an example I have used in my own rom, it will also work to set a background after boot but the idea is to have it run during first customizations. FYI I used WinCE cab manager to make the cab.
