I'm still using default ROM on my kaiser, although i have hardspl and super cid installed. I just have couple of simple questions, which i could not find on forum.

1. Can i uninstall some applications that are cooked into the custom rom?

2. Is it better to cook applications to rom or to install them afterwards with cab?

3. Since i don't use all that stuff that chefs cook into their rom, should i take time and study rom cooking and make my own, or should i install the most basic and lite rom i can find, and then install cab's i need?

tnx all

1. There is no straightforward way to uninstall programs that are cooked into ROMs. You can install the program (overtop) via a .cab, then uninstall it. That will theoretically take everything out, but it's kind of a pain and no guarantee you'll get everything (depending upon the cook's custom settings and file locations).

2. I tend to cook in applications that probably aren't going to change versions for a while. But it's not such a pain to re-cook a ROM that it's not a big deal.

3. I would suggest going with a lite ROM and figuring out which programs you like before you take on cooking. Alex has really made it quite easy, but you can run into problems. You should flash a number of ROMs (and seen the issues that can result) before you try to do it yourself. There are a number of great ones out there. I'd suggest Alex's Lite and Q-Mobile to start. Both are great.
