How to create CAB for WM5/WM6

Hi all, what's the best software to use if I want to create .cab file for installing apps or chaing registry etc on the Universal's WM5/WM6?
I have tried "WinCE CAB Manager" but the cab file failed to be installed on my Windows Mobile emulator for some reason. I know you can use Visual Studio .NET 2005 something like that, but is there any lighter program in addition to VS .NET?
Thanks in advance!

"WinCE CAB Manager" but the cab file failed to be installed on my Windows Mobile emulator for some reason -> u maybe set the wrong version variables?
check it! ;-) i think it workz!!!

I have set it to support all CPUs and on the OS type I have set it to support Pocket PC 2005. I will give it some more go later and see how it does.

Hi, it is still not working, I have attached the screenshot of the configurations in the cab and the error messsage I get. I tried it with my Universal and the Windows Mobile Device emulator and I got the same error.
Can anyone tell me what I have set wrong in this CAB? Thanks!
BTW, I was only trying to add a small .txt file by using this .cab as a test.

I have just got it working now! I installed WinCE CAB Manager on another PC and it is working fine!! For some reason the cab file it makes on my laptop doesn't work.
Anyway, I will use the other PCs to create the cab file then.

Wrong thread... Sorry

My "particular" ExtROM.....

Hi...this mine "ExtROM"........I'm use it w/ my last WM6 ROM (based on LVSW's v2.0.1.1)....however i think that it should work on any rom (wm5 too...)
Its "particular".....I have inserted some useful programs BUT...nothing are installed (alias, copied to the device)!!...everything are alredy "installed" to extrom....
I'm created it for me....so, maybe its unuseful for everybody.....
Whatsuppen:
U download this archive.........................ok
Install it as a normal rom-update (HardSPL included).............ok
So....now, after an HardReset, when the "Customization" popup appears, ONLY some shortcuts will be copied into your device (20 kb), and a few registry tweaks will be also installed (1/2 kb)...........but when you'll enter in the "Programs" directory these programs will be present:
WMP Playlist Editor
PocketRAR v3.60
AltTab (from PocketPlus)
Adobe Reader LE
VJOkButton ("JustClick" only, i'm associate it to a button...)
Spb Full Screen Keyboard (not configurable...u can access to it only from "programs" menu's icon) U
IM+ v4.41 (without Today's PlugIn) U
Chronos v3.3 U
Resco Explorer v6.10 + FTP AddOn + ZIP AddOn (without regitry addOn/cript service/today plugIn) U
Resco Photo Viewer Standard v6.33 (without video support) U
SafeMode v2.1 U
SKTools Pro v3.1.9 (only the main program) U
GroupSMS
PIM Backup v2.5
NoData
iContact v0.2 (linked to the "Contacts" icon in Programs folder)
Call Firewall v1.2
CorePlayer v1.1.1 build 1600 (without SPB-support plugin) U
Some settings for these programs

Note:
U = ...unregistred!
Conclusion:
10mb of (useful) programs, but only 20kb of device's memory is used!

ExtRom Plus
this ExtRom working on my Pepes Germany Rom..

Hello AX3L. Is there any way to get this to work with other programs?

Sorry, I followed all your instructions and I can't see anything new after ExtROM_Plus installed.
Moreover, I can't access ExtROM anywhere.
Customisation process seems not to work with ExtROM area ...
Where can I check if all was installed fine ?

You need to go to the wiki and find the cab which will unhide the extROM for you. Then in the extROM folder click shortcuts

AX3L, I would like to add some programs to the rom befor installing it, can you give us a guide, and tool as needed?
thanks

...i suggest to intall in to your device and then analize!
I have collected the .cab of my preferites program, unpacked, compress the exe using UPX, edited the registry of each program, make the shortcuts from \Extended_ROM to StartMenu, packed all shortcuts and registry to a proper .cab and edited the config.txt to install it!
Finally a I merged all file into an .nb using a tool named "HTC ExtRom Editor" (u can find around the forum), and using NBHGen i have conerted it to .nbh.....ready to flash!

I was just wondering, how did you create the shortcuts into a cab file? I cannot seem to find your shortcuts.cab only shortcuts.cabtxt? I take it your shortcuts / registry settings are in shourtcuts.cabtxt? How did you create this file?
Also I cannot find your HSDPA /enable line in your config ?

Can ~WinCE Cab Manager create the shortcut/regedit cabs?

Nice Ext rom AX3L!
Could you possibly add the Resco Explorer Registry Add-in to the next one?
Then it would be perfect!

HTC Kaiser Home plugin anybody?

Hi,
I upgraded to the official Dopod WM6 ROM. Is it possible to install the Kaiser Home Plugin on it and where can I get is as a standalone app and not part of a whole ROM package (don't want to reflash again and reinstall everything )

yes, it works fine, here you have it.

sorry for the newbie qusetion but when u download these cab files where do i put them on my artemis device. Is it in the windows directory?

you can put the .cab file anywhere you want in your pda,
open "file explorer", locate the .cab file, and "click" it. it will install the software to the default location.
enjoy.

thanx bro, much appreciated

Now to the dialer skin Will the Wizard one work?
Edit: In fact it works like a charm

does this also work on my htc p4350? i have installed the cab and he shows nothing on where the clock and everything else should be. it only looks like the original htc homeplugin was moved down
HELP ME PLEASE

Hi, how to change TFLO 3D icons by myself?

Any software provide this function and it is able to create a CAB file to let me share with others?
thx =]

You should get the m9editor, find the manila files containing the icons you want to change, change them and if you want to make a cab, use some kind of cab manager or you could simply copy them in the windows folder (not with the standard file explorer - use total commander or something like that) and then restart TF3D. If you have done everything right, you should have the new icons displayed, if not - simply delete the manila files you have changed and softreset - this should restore them if you have not made backup of the original file.

oh, thx for your reply >3<

Strange... I also use XP (not the china version) and it works for me... maybe you should ask for support the creator of the editor. As for the CAB files - I personally use 'WinCE CAB Manager' but I think there are a number of other managers, just google them and find out which is best suited for you.

TF3D config and .theme files question

This post has 2 questions.
Intro: I have a HTC HD flashed with Dutty's 3.7 XT ROM MSVC. I have used HD tweak as the tweak tool.(I am not sure this is relevant).
1) I downloaded Diamond tf3d config and installed it. I tried running it and get an error as soon as it starts. I tried the standard fixes including deleting the tweaks file as well as ensuring the "PressureThreshold" key is a DWORD. It makes no change, the program still gives an error. Could anyone suggest a fix.
2) I want to use tf3d config only for installation of .theme files. Is there an alternate app to do this? Also I know that i can just extract the .theme file as a zip file into the windows folder and restart touchflo for changes. However how do I remove the theme? I read somewhere that I can just delete the replaced files and the original files will be self re-generated. Is this true?
Please respond.

I Dont Believe That Diamond TF3D Config Functions Properly With New Manila Someone Feel Free To Correct Me If I Am Wrong

Well, now that you mention it I remember that tf3d config worked for the stock rom which has old manilla, and doesn't work with dutty's rom with new manilla which I am now using.
So if I cant use tf3d config does anyone know an alternate way of installing .theme files other than tf3d config.

Yeah I'm interested in alternative ways to install themes aswell, can't get TF3D Config to work at all

Yeah, I finally found out that tf3dconfig does not work with the new manilla. to install the theme, change the file extension of the theme file to zip, extract and replace the contents in the windows folder. Am not too sure how to uninstall.
All this information was found after 4 days of searches in xda. the search function on the site does seem to be strange as I ended up with the relevant result on the last page.
