I currently have about 30 programs installed on my mobile. I would like to simplify the installation process of these after a Hardreset. Is it possible to mrge them into one single Cab which will install all of the applications? Or will they then show up as only one item in the software list if I do this?

U can use a back up utility like sprite(Free with THD don't know about Xperia) or resco backup. Create a backup after installing all the apps U need and save it as a executable backup or as a back up set on the card. u can copy it in ur desktop also. Now anytime after a hard reset u can install those backed up apps without any other data. of course it may not work if U flash a new ROM etc.

One thing you can try is to look to see how UC works and set your cabs up that way..

You can then run it manually, copy sdconfig to /windows and run it. this way you should be able to manually run UC after installing any rom (even if it doesn't support it such as stock roms).

Im not a Cook so i dont really know how to 'cook' that thing to rom/device..

Just my 2cents, im very frustrated with re-installing all my apps everytime i upgrade to a newer version of rom. It's just pain in the ass.. Maybe the cookers can 'kindly' include the baby above in the rom. That's going to save the user alot of trouble..

main problem with cooking uc in is that it massively increases the amount of 'bugs' in a rom:

99% of the time they're down to 3rd party software and having stuff installed blindy makes things worse...

if you can get it running manually (after you've tested a new rom for a bit) then why not do that? it'll only take one click then...
