Hi All,
Can anyone direct me to some usefull tutorials on creating custom CAB files for my SP5.
At this stage, i'm just trying to create an automated CAB that will change the homescreen to a bitmap of my choice.
I can manually dump the file on the device, but i'd like to put it into a cab file so it will automatically dump the bitmap set it as my homescreen.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers !

Thanks for the response guy's.
I've actually got the OCP CAB manager application.
But it doesn't work with Windows Mobile 2005 based CAB's.
Smart archiver doesn't support WM2005 CAB's either
I'm finding there is a lack of suppoort for WM2005.
I guess i'll just have to make them manually by compiling from an inf file.
Can anyone post a template inf file for the WM2005 OS ?
I can use that as a base, then compile the CAB with cabwiz.
thanks again.
keep pushing ,I want to know the same thing as you.
I tried so many way to open and edit file in Cab-files for WM2005.
Just some files that can be open with CeCABManager.

Hello all,
I have a SDA and I am trying to personally customize a WM6 rom based off of Nitrogenious (v5...by the way, great version, thanks!!) WM6 but I cannot find any detailed information on adding files (cab or exe...moreso cab files) to the ROM. I have found Molski's Devpack by Duke for dumping/rebuilding ROM (Great pdf guide and awesome tools!!).
I am needing the detail to actually add files (exe or cab) for customizing this ROM (i.e. what is the process in obtaining the .dll or other related files and where do I add the extracted files...Which files do I actually use after extraction? And do I create another folder and just place them in the dump directory? What do I do? Here is an example: I am wanting to add the HTC File Manager 1.41 cab file to the ROM and I need to know which files to use and where to place them.
I believe I have all the necessary tools: Molskis DevPack and WinCE Cab Manager, I just need a little guidance/assistance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks again and thanks for this great forum!!

I have created a great working ROM but there are some apps that I still want to put onto the 8125 I own. My problem is that these apps are OEM packages....so my question is how can I place them on the Wizard without re-cooking a ROM?
Is there a way that I can place the OEM files into a CAB and install from the CAB or some type of install program that I can point to the OEM files and it will install the app to the Wizard?
PLEASE HELP A NEWBIE!!!!!
Shameless bump

You mean to tell me with all the great minds and Kitchen makers on this forum not one of you have this answer for me?
PLEASE HELP THIS NEWBIE!!!!
just analyse initflashfiles.txt, and rgu.
you will get paths for files from initflashfiles.
if there's no initflashfiles file in oempack, it means, that all files needs to be placed in /windows(usually).
rgu is just .reg so rename it to .reg.
get wince cab manager and just make cab(add files, import reg).
good luck.
Hiya
So I figured that i better go a learn how to use this UC that i find extremly clever - however there's a few cab's that i would love to change abit to my use, for instance dont make it install all the apps its trying and so on...
However i dont really know where or how read the file - ive downloaded WinCE trial version and oped the cab, but wich file type does what and so on? Ive tried abit, deleting some program files however i still need to edit the install files to tell the cab not to install the program at all, so are there anybody out there who can guide me abit on the right direction?
And es ive allready searched this site and google, but i havnt found anything usefull :?

Which program is it that you're trying to edit?
Have you tried editing the config file that lists the cabs to be installed?

If you by config file means the xml file then yes - so far so good - however now im having trouble rebuilding the cab - ive tried several times using both winrar and alZip but i cant seem to rebuild the file correctly - it dosnt even have the right size even though all ive done is to extract the files and rebuild em - what am i doing wrong?
Perhaps im just too dumb to get it - but when i open the cab file in WinCE it dosnt seem to display the _setup.xml at all - so how do i edit that file and use WinCD to rebuild the cab file?

Bump!

Hmm i allready have WinCE - i just dont know how to change the cab and repack it, perhaps you could help on that?
Ive also seen that link under my search - however the site just says: "down for bug squashing..." so not much help there anyway
Thx for the offer - however the main reason is i want to learn how to do it properly
CabWiz i has been unable to find for download :?

to edit a cab, you need to have the WCM file. you can also unpack it using a Package Creator (v2.7) makes the changes needed, and create the cab again with the modifications using your CECabManager

Hmm yea i understand that much - however i fail to see how i can edit anything in WinCE when i dont have the xml file when i open the cab? I do understand the i need to unpacvk the cab, ive dont the with different programs, ive also edited the xml file to fit my request but i simply cant repack the cab with my edited xml file and get it to work? What am i doing wrong?
//M
CeCABManager supports importing information from an *.inf file.. not xml files..
you can just provide the info on the cab to the app and it'll pack it for you..
Hello all,
I am trying to create a cab file for some application (exe file) that I have.
I use WinCe cab manager ... I figured out how to create the cab, which I have then been able to install.
My question is - After installation, the program shortcut does not appear in the programs menu, both in the start menu or in the list to add quick launch icons.
(i can launch the program by navigating to it ...Program Files et al)
Can someone please help me, and let me know what I need to do to list it in the programs list??
Thank you for assistance.

Did you create a shortcut in Cab Manager? It does not do it automatically.
It might be easier to help if you post the cab so others can see how it's setup.
Thank you

Thank you, Sir. I did figure it out a few minutes ago.
Attached is the cab file - It is for the SEND RECEIVE ALL program. It was posted as an exe file by Krazy_about_technology at this link ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3578322&postcount=1
He included an exe file ....and I have now created a cab file with it ....
Figured someone might need it like I did ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4974002&postcount=1

HI all !!
I came up with a new idea to create a file oemavatar.cab for Toshiba TG01. I made graphics in PNG format and then it tried to pack them into a CAB file. Now I am looking for a program where I could make a CAB file and add it to the ROM.
I found some programs, but the archives are not compatible with WP7 and Zune just does not detect the file.
My question is: Which program to use to execute the cab file?
You have to use a CAB sender program to send the CAB file to the phone's update OS (the one that Zune switches the phone to when installing updates; you can put it in that mode manually too). You don't use Zune with manual updating.
I don't know what structure to the CAB file the phone expects (although you could download an official CAB and have a look for yourself). You will probably need to sign the CAB with a key whose certificate is loaded into your ROM; I know there are programs for doing this but not all ROMs are updatable.
Thanks for quick reply
I know how to use the CAB SENDER
I just meant that if I add the oemavatar.cab is an application ZUNE should show a picture that is in that file ... if you connect phone to the PC .
If I add the original cab of Omnia 7 (OEM / ZUNE_PIC) ZUNE shows the picture of the Samsung ... if I add my cab file , zune does not show what's there ...
as if the program can not read information from a cab file
I enclose two cab files ...
I found a solution
You should post it! That way, future people with the same or similar goals don't have to post another request for help, they can just search and find it.
