Cingular customization cab???

[shogunmark]

and yes i searched for hours...

has anyone out there made a cab to install all the cingular settings? So that way if i use a clean rom i can just run a cab to do the settings instead of doing them manually? Or if someone can point me in the right direction maybe i can try to make my own.. I am a complete noob at creating cabs and other things but am thirsty to learn...

just copy the cabs out of your extended rom before you upgrade to a none-carrier rom. Then reinstall them once you have the rom upgrade complete.

Here's a cab I created that has the latest Cingular Customization cab, Cingular Heartbeat cab, the O2.tsk theme, oldphone25 ringer, menupop to stop the pop sound when dropping down menus (instead of turning off events, which I need), E icon for GPRS, Temporary Internet files on storage card, Show Time Zones enabled, clock on all screens, standard time instead of military, SMS delivery notify off, backlight brightness set to 75% and backlight off when on battery at 1 minute. no notification on GPRS connect and notification for new email enabled.

If anyone needs a modification or two to this, just ask!

Thats awesome!!!

now does that include all the edge/gprs settings and mms settings? Also what do you use to make your cabs? i am curious cause i just started making my own roms... Made my first successful one last night :D anyway.. i would like to create a cab for various reg tweaks, and also is it possible to edit other cabs? and if it is possible are you able to change the location where its stored? For example.. say i create a cab to install a program from the extended rom, and lets say i want to install this to my sd card instead of the phone. And please talk to me like i am a n00b.. i have lots of electronics backgrounds, and degree's... however its mostly component level.. not much on software and i am very interested in soaking all of this up.. its so fascinating...

Thanks for you help!

This has the Cingular GPRS settings, not sure about MMS because I don't use that.

I use WinCE Cab Manager (http://www.ocpsoftware.com/products.php?nm=cecabmgr) to create the cabs. A REALLY neat util I found is Mobile Registry Editor (http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx) It's kinda neat in that you can browse your PDA's registry from your PC and export keys to files back on your PC and then import them in with WinCE Cab if you desire. With Resco you can search for keys on your device.

thanks for the tip.. and i do already have the mobile reg edit already... i love that thing.. its lot easier to edit the reg from my pc than on my device itself!

Thanks again for the help! you have been an invaluable resource in my goal!

Glad I could be of some help. Others here have helped teach me how to fish, so much better than just giving me a fish.

i would prefer to learn how to do it anyway, that way if it breaks i can go about fixing it instead of relying on someone else

So if someone were to complete a competely clean ROM with no added themes, ringers, etc, I could install that and then install this CAB, and it would then have all the Cingular settings. Would the themes and ringers be deletable?

[shogunmark]

this cab has no themes or ringers, just edge/gprs settings, but no mms settings..

If it's Cingular MMS settings you're looking for, I pulled these from the default 2.25 ROM.. Pretty much just a bunch of registry settings..

I'd very much like to take you up on the offer to request: my want is to be able to install the factory default rom (2.25.11.1 WWE) that came with my Cingular 8125, but I would like to bail out just before customization through the soft-reset. I have done this and been able to re-define my gprs settings however there are other settings I would love to have, like text messaging and cingular's smart dialing option. The only portions of their rom that get my goat are the ForcedWare that comes with it: ClearVue PDF (there is a great free, better, smaller alternative made by Adobe), GoodLink and its accompanying files, and XpressMail (which I loath).
In short,
Is there any possibility you might post a cab set of nearly full proportions, only removing the aforementioned junk?
It would be much appreciated. Thanks much in advance.
