hi everyone, ok iv succesfully managed to flash my new xda exec with jwrights rom (thankyou very much, im loving it!) what im curious about is, i have a rough idea CAB files are programs, but how do i install them exactly? also, i keep reading about registry tweaks, what are they and how do i do them? and finally, iv been playing with the voice command program, and it doesnt seem to work properly all the time, when i ask it to call someone it just shows me there nuame and number then goes back to today screen, is there another program i could install, or maybe im just doing it wrong!!
thankyou very much
Cab files are just run on your device - just double click threm and they will ask you wether to insyall in memory or storage caqrd, most are fine on the card but anything that runs on startup (eg today plugins) can cause problems if not imstalled on the device.
You need a registry editor to edit the registry, there are a few free ones but I use resco which comes with resco explorer.
For general WM questions head over to Modaco - this forum is for ROM hackers amd ROM related queries and Modaco is for general PPC and SmartPhone user queries.

hello everyone, long time member of howardforums and just joined xda and find some very usefull info, thank you all. i ran into a small problem last night. i have a tilt , not flashed but i have installed the htc home screen and everything worked great. last night i tryed to install the touchflo program found in a few places in this forum and it didn't work but thats when the interesting stuff happen....after deleting all touchflo cab files and restarting the tilt every time at startup it gives me a warning " FTouchFlo.exe cannot be open, its either not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components can not be found. try reinstalling or restoring file." ????? and now the icon that used to be under the clock for favorite people that would send me their pics so i can just one touch dial is GONE? tryed installing the cab for the htc homescreen again but the same....there is a music short cut that lets me launch the music player that wasn't there before? i downloaded the htc home plugin customisor and even when i set for 6 icons on the bottom of the clock it still just gives me 5?
at the end of the day i would like to have the touchflo program but its not a big deal if i dont, i would however really like to have the pic dialer back on my screen as its really convinient to dial my fav people with it.thanks in advance
try this for the favorite people tab

To get the favorite people tab back, delete this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial
i'm asuming this is what you meant? sorry but where do i find this key? thanks

Keys are in the registry. To access and change the registry you need a registry viewer/editor. There are many but for simple "everyday" use this is a good one:

Be careful though delete the wrong things and you'll end up needing a hard reset.

PHM downloads as a .MSI windows installer. So it will not install properly unless you have your device connected via active sync when you run the downloaded file. So connect your device via usb cable. Let active sync connect and update. Then while still connected run the installer download. During the process a message will pop up on your device. If a choice is offered it will be ok to install to storage card if you have one.
Cheers for now.

thanks guys , can anyone tell me how to delete .exe files? i still get warnings at start up that touchflo.exe and bio-something-.exe can not run because some files are missing.....thanks
Hey guys, I have a quick question.
Is it possible to have the unlock codes of purchased applications already in the cab when I'm cooking it?
So I don't have to do input them every time I make an adjustment to my rom.
Unfortunately I won't be sharing the rom... I have a conscience.
2nd Question...
In abusalza's PDACornerUltimate.V10-20931
The Manila 2d Has a landscape mode that "somewhat" works, is this a personal fix or is it included in the lastest Manila 2d Cab?
Thanks Everyone
As for your first question, it is possible but time consuming and tricky. What you'll have to do is find out where the key goes when insterted in the program into the registry (there are programs to see how the registry is altered after a certain move). After that, you'll have to insert that key into the CAB (probably better to do it before making the OEM) which you'll have to use something like WinCE CAB manager. This can be done to most programs and games, not all though.
would I be able to create an OEM out of the program files in my phone, it wouldn't be cab?

No, i've never seen that nor do i think it's possible. I really wanted to do the same thing, however going through many threads and asking so many people about it, i figured it was easier to manually register everything.
Ok great, well that's one down.
Thanks alot Kareem.
Anyone wana take a shot at the other question?
Use Sashimi auto Installer for REG files.
fire use PHM to make a backup of your REG
then register
use PHM again
use find the adjusted REG edits using a REGistry comparer
put the REG files into Sashimi, read up on SAshimi to set it up. and his website has more info on how to do exactly what i said above. incl video
it took me all of 3 hours to learn sashimi and its great..
As for the Second Question, Ask in the thread concerning it.
ive not seen it in the HD3 Releases Im using.
I'm doing that right now.
Another Question.
Do I have to back up my registry from my cooked rom, or can I back up my current rom that has all the applications installed and registered.

Welcome to the forum
rar is a compressed file like zip or 7zip
Just ask a Mod for deleting
hey quick question i got the htc touch hd and i have installed and running morphgear but i noticed that i can press two buttons on the touch screen at the same time is there a way round this or is it a hardware problem
thanks
Your screen isn't multitouch so you can't press 2 points of the screen at the same time
I'm trying to install GPS Toggle(Google it....pretty neat)to the SPB Mobile 3 Lifestyle page. It Only installs to the Today screen of win mo 6.5 with titanium off. I want to know if there is a way to change the install location by using the RegEditor. Even a possible point in the right direction would be helpful at this point, already had to hard reset 5 times from playing around with it. Thanks in advance ppl.
I don't think it's going to help, and I think you're confusing your terminology. Install location basically differentiates between main memory and a storage card. It sounds like this is a today plugin and you want to convert it to a chome plugin. That may prove to be hard, lol. I suggest reading up on twolf's threads.
thanks man i dont even want it as a Chome plugin. i just want to be able to put it on SPB mobile shell
Hey, this question maybe was asked before, but couldn't find it any where. We can do a lot of tweeks with removing/ changing file in WM6.5 folder, but every time i try to do so it says "Acces denied". what i do wrong and what i need to do. your help and tips are welcome!

Try Total Commander
For the language tweaks on this forum, and other stuff where you need to "overwrite" ROM files, use Total Commander.
It won't allow you hardcore stuff, but for many tricks advertised here it works.
Thinking of it, I wouldn't be able to come up with a good search term for this either. However, the threads with tricks do tell you to use TC.
thanks, but where do i use Total Comander? on PC or on HD2?? thanks again?
p.s. i wnated to change welcome screen to them nice girls on one of the theds and it didnt alow me!

Total Commander runs on the phone. It's basically a file explorer alternative that does a few other things, like registry editing, as well.
It allows you to overwrite read-only and system files that aren't in use.
You should have no problem replacing the startup images with it.
hey johncmolyneux, i see you are one of poor UK HD2 owners with skinned rom. i'll show up stupid again but where do i find TC on UK O2 rom. i had one on my touch pro but i just can't see one on HD2. maybe because O2 removed it? maybe you know link to download on for HD2? thanks in advance
don't worry, found it. anybody need it as weel it's freeware on
http://www.ghisler.com/smartphone.htm
Glad you sorted it. I just found it by googling.
Incidentally, I'm an O2 user, but my phone isn't an O2 one - I bought it SIM free. Also, Total Commander doesn't come on the standard ROM either, so you would have been looking for it regardless!
I didn't think O2 were doing anything to the phone. Have they skinned it then?

I've only played with the lockscreen myself, and I did that by copying the cpr file and the associated png files into the windows folder, and then just to be sure, I copied the cpr file into the \windows\lockscreen\ folder as well.
That worked for me.
As far as the start screen goes, I'd raise the problem in the thread that you got the screens from.
Good luck
hey, thanks, i just managed to do welcome screen, but still figthing with lock screen. could you please give link where i can find working lock screen files as ones i've got seems not working! thanks
