I have been reading lots of posts on the forum and got so far but now I'm stuck.
I have an XDAII and have managed to unlock and unhide the extended rom. now I can access the extended rom while XDAII is in the cradle.
I understand how I can add cab files to it and will be using the configcreator tool to edit the config.txt file.
The problem I have is; all the pockekpc software I have, is on my computer and I have only ever installed it through activesync the normal or official way. When ever I have tried to put the files directly on my phone and click on them I always get the messeage this is not a valid pocket pc application..... or something like that.
So how do I convert the software files I have on my computer to cab files so I can include them in the extended rom? :shock: ? :?:
To most of you guys this must seem like a nuby question sorry :roll: , but I can't seem to find the answer on the forum.....
Is there a tool I can use or a program that I can use to make useable cab files?
Also just a though when I install programs via activesync does my computer convert the files to cabfiles and then automatically transfer them to my device? if so can I somehow copy the cabfiles from the temporary location on my computer :?:
A step by step guide would be helpfull but any help would be appreciated :?
Thanks in advance

Some 'high-end' software will leave a copy of their cab files on a specific directory (i.e. you have a choice of choosing). Those you can just go to the directory and copy it. If you do not know what I'm talking here, nevermind
Anyway, for normal simple software, they will most probably extract themselves to temporary directory. Example
C:\Documents and Settings\'yourWindowsUserName'\Local Settings\Temp\
where 'yourWindowsUserName' is your username for the PC. My guess would be, try to search for *.cab files in your temp directory (i.e. as the above dir) before you install your software. THEN, start your software installation, and do a search again on the 1st setup screen, see if you are lucky And try to do another search after you're done with the setup.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for that I'll have a go.

I managed to edit my extended rom! 8)
I was able to add the cab files from tom tom navigator 3 and it installs them perfectly after a hard reset!
The only issue I have, when I run Tom tom for the first time after a hard reset I have to keep entering the activation code. Not really a major issue more of a pain.
Wonder if anyone knows how to get it to enter the activation code automatically :?: Bat file or something :?:
This sites really helped me with my tinkering I think its about time to donate
Thanks for all the help guys

Hi :
Here after what I do with succes :
When installing the application from ActSync, you must select "Storage Card" instead deffault location to install.
Then, you have to cancel the installation process before the progress bar on your PPC's screen ends.
A dialog box will ask if you're sure to abort the process.
At this stage, you go to storage card throught your PC Explorer, and you'll find the cab file there.
You save it away.
This cab file on the storaqe card will be automatically removed when you confirm that you really want cancel the installation process on the PPC's screen.
Or...
Go to c:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync folder in your desktop and you can find there more cabs. Or simply find all the *.cab files on your HDD and you'll be surprised.
Thanks for this I will check out both methods
Does anyone know what the best freeware tool for modifying the cabfile is? and where I can download it :?:
Thanks for the help

...
I think,that everyone here knows only WinCE Cab Manager from OCP Software. But this is commercial,but...on internet is everything...
I'm rather new to these kind of devices so please excuse the ignorance.
I have an XDA Atom Exec, I upgraded to WM6 with this site successfully.
I also would like to install HTC Home and Customizer as I like the big clock and icons, however I can't seem to find instructions on how to install them. I tried using the search function but nothing came up.
Can someone explain it to me please? Thank you.
Have you downloaded the cab files for HTC HOME and CUSTOMISER , if so just go copy them to your phone and then navigate from the file explorer of the phone to where you have pasted , and run (tap) Hope this helps.......
If you have not downloaded them ....find Ironeagles thread on this forum , to find the links
Or you can download the cab from http://www.pocketemu.com/download8.html

Carty..
Hi, thank you for trying to help.
I think the problem is that I can't run the "setup". It opens in Internet explorer just like on my PC, I downloaded another copy from Carty's site and the same thing happens. Do I need a special program to open the setup XML file?
Thanks again..

Hey Carty, I would like to ask about your Ultimate Theft protection. If I flash a new ROM, will it still be there?

Well after downloading the zip file to my PC, I unzipped it in a created folder.
Sync'd my atom exec with the PC.
Opened File Explorer from ActiveSync, opened Program files on Atom Exec and just moved created folder with unzipped file into Atom.
After opened the created file from within the device and click "setup" with the stylus.
It opens up Internet Explorer and I can only view it as a document of some sort.
Hope that makes sense
No mate , you dont have to ZIP it (you are actually zipping the cab file which runs directly on the ppc , copy the .cab file without zipping it to your PC and then run ..)
This is what you do wrong

if you will list the contents of your zip file, that would be helpful. we don't normally copy files to program files for installation.
Thank you everyone... the problem was exactly what udayrulz was describing. I merely had to just move the file over to the device and click it, instead of unzipping, create a folder etc.
Thanks again, this plugin is much easier on the eyes!
No Problem , glad it worked out

If they are an OEM pack, you'll need to cook it in.
Are they actually Rar files, or is your RAR program recognizing them as RAR when the extension is .cab? Try copying them to your device, and opening them in file explorer.
HI
I'm a regular user for cooked roms, (CDMA ENERGY mainly)... Sometimes I need to make a hard reset but with PIM backup, XDA_UC, etc.. I'm in no time running at full speed again.
My problem is with a freeware application RoboformPPC this installation comes only in an exe file, thus needing a computer to make the installation.
Is there anyway during the install process or after, that I could get the cab it transfers via activesync to the phone?
This way I can have it on my SD card and install it after a Hard Reset.
I have write them few days back, but still no answer from them.
Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.
Cab
Here you go, just a small tip if you download 7-zip and extract the exe file, you find all the cab's inside.

I've had a Hommer moment... *facepalm*
Thank you very much!
I did try with WinRar, then with Universal Extractor with no luck.
7Zip did it.
And to think I had melted my brains for days trying everything.... Sigh...
THANK YOU.!
