Sorry for such a "noob" question, but how do you install "cab" files? Do you click on them when in active-sync or do you have to cut-n-paste them somewhere?
Just wondering because I wanted to install several programs in Vp's "add-on" list but not sure how? I tried clicking on one and it didn't do anything?
Just copy the cab to your device and then open your file explorer on your device, find the cab, and double click it. It's that simple
Read the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
And enjoy your new toy
Moderator.... shouldn't this thread be locked? Not a WM6 related question...

Hi
U can install CAB files by two ways
1. Copy files to your device and double click
2. Download prgm CabViaSync u can directly install it form your desktop
http://www.modaco.com/Vista-WMDC-compatible-CAB-t248516.html
copy the cab file into your device itself ,that's all and double click on it on ppc
To copy it ,connect your device ,when activesync sync , u can click on explore button ,it will open ur device then just copy and paste
Where do you copy it to on the device? The Program menu? And then click on it from there?
I posted it here because I'm using WM6 although it's the same I gather with WM5. Sorry if it's in the wrong thread.
Thanks everyone. I'll try it.
Again, sorry if this is in the wrong thread.
dude, just copy it to say your storage card, go to file explorer, then to your storage card and click n it. lol..it's amazing, u know how to upgrade to WM6 but you dont know how to install a .cab file? lol .. wow.

THIS CANT BE IN THE WRONG THREAD YOU THARTED THE THREAD!! LOL
this is funny
Im not trying to be an ass to who-ever started this thread or the participants but this has to be the funniest question I have ever read on here. Why? because its a developers web site for test and mods and you made it here so far without even opening a cab file. thats like growing up, standing and getting food from the cubbards and then still not knowing how to open the fridge...i say this with humour not arrogance.
Is this thread serious or a joke?
I can't tell...
If it's serious, someone needs to gently put down the PPC and pick up a Nokia... more their speed.

Sorry man, I'm the bonehead. I make a living working on cars - not phones! And YES, I made it this far loading roms and not having to do anything with cabs!
The reason I'm wandering around the "developers" website is because I get the best answers here.
I'm sure if things were reversed, and you were rebuilding a "hemi" you *might* ask a silly question too.
So... before you work on the "hemi", don't you read the service manual first or do you just post the question hemi.mechanics.com?
I think that's why some people are flaming you for this question...
It's like saying you rebuilt the engine but you don't know how to add oil.
This reply is in no disrespect to you....

didnt search the forum but i think the internet is more vast then this forum and second thing i saw a pic on this site of a self edited ROM on Emulator Device
You can edit the Microsoft ROM images they provide for use in their emulators but there is no way to take a device specific file an emulate it unfortunately.

Thnx for the reply but i have got another question, IS THERE ANYWAY THAT I CAN INSTALL ANY SOFTWARE USING .CAB FILE AND THEN REMOVE ITS ENTRY FROM THE REMOVE PROGRAMS LIST WITHOUT REMOVING THE SOFTWARE? Thnx in advance.
While I haven't used this option, with WinCE CAB Manager you can specify when you create a CAB that the CAB can't be uninstalled after its installed. I'm not sure if the cab will show up in the remove program list then or not.
Basically the remove cab list is registry entries, but I'd be very careful trying to change any of that by hand as you could screw something up and cause the user to have to hard reset their device.
So why would you want to install something and Hide it from the user? Some of your questions (in various threads) has me a little concerned about what you are trying to do.

Don't be concerned my frnd, im not using it to make any virus or something. i wanted to put TouchFLo on my Extended ROM and if the version of HTC Cube i have, is uninstalled after installation it removes your touch ability. I guess it answers your question. And by the way im not a Hacker kind of guy. thnx.

Thankyou soooo much
I have Alex V5.1 already on the phone. I tried to update to the new one and every time I click on the program it says,
"There is no application associated with Alex.v52.etc... Run the application first, then open this file from within the application."
I read through the Alex post and didn't find anything. The search feature on this site seems to give you a thousand post you have to read totally, or nothing. I spent 2 hours last night trying to figure it out and don't have anymore time. I know I'm making a simple noob mistake, but someone PLEASE HELP ME! Thanks!

What is the complete name of the file that you are executing that gives you that message?
Perhaps I forgot to include KaiserCustomRUU.exe with one of my ROMs. You'll need this to install any .NBH file. You can find it in the ROM Tools section of the wiki, which is linked on the wiki or on the sticky.
In the future, please post to an existing thread.
Hope this helps!

I have a very high post response rate in my threads, I'd even dare say 90%+. So no need to worry about lost threads.
As for your current dilemma, I always post my ROMs as .RAR archive files. You'll need to download and install WinRAR (Shareware), 7ZIP (Freeware) or my personal favorite, ZipGenius (Freeware), to uncompress the .RAR file before running KaiserCustomRUU.exe.
All of this can be found on google.
Hope this helps!
Thanks Alex! You are the man! I didn't have to do all of this with the other rom, so I didn't think to look through the wiki. Works great now! Still playing with it, keep up the good work!
Well I guess my meeting took to long and _Alex_ took care of you. I thought it was a RUU or .rar file issue that is why I asked for the specific name of the file.

Ok so I just got my motocliq in the mail today and off course I love it... My question is since its based in the Android OS will we just use THIS forum or will another section be made? I figure u all just make an Andriod Thread and make Sub threads for all the different Andriod phones
I would hope not since this is a HTC forum

this is an HTC Forum, this particular section of the forum pertains to anything G1/Dream. It would be pretty pointless for us to include blur/cliq development in here, unless it is a port of that OS TO the G1/Dream.
That being said, im sure there are moto forums out there, you just gotta search. I wanna say it was Drizzy that mentioned though, that development on the Blur was going to be harder at first because of some new hardware/software stuff, not sure exactly what it was so dont quote me on that.
I'm assuming that there will be a Sub-Forum devoted to it, once development on it is completed.
Until then... well, I assume that nothing will be released.
bet yeah i know this is MAINLY an htc forum but at the same time you guys do have the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 forum on here lol just sayin
i wish XDA would be split into winmo android and symbian
nd then have the phones split after that screen, itd be alot better than having to scroll all the way down to find the G1

i'd vote for that.. esp now android is taking off alot of app related things are genral, and dev is very device specific.. so we could have like a genral and a devise specific section.
The Sony X1 is only up on this site because it was made by HTC for Sony... so u would have to find a dedicated Motorola development site to mod ur Cliq.
you have a point... lol but i still have my g1 so im not goin anywhere for a while... and im also about 2 get the hero for my sprint phone so ill be here
But were have Palm phone up here as well!

Can you do me a favor and grab the boot.img off of it?
From a terminal on the phone
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd1 of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=4096
Then transfer it to your pc so you can upload it here.
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img .
That would really be helpful for Blur development
ModMyMoto
I used to go to this site daily, til I got my Dream...ModMyMoto.
I am sure you will see a section for this phone there soon.

Well, HTC made some of the Palm phones that run WinMo also. All the phones listed on DES were made by HTC no matter what brand name u see on the front of them.
XDA not DES... stupid auto-correct

I remembrer drizzy saying the bootloader is locked so it either can't be rooted or will be harder to root. So it'll be a while till we see a forum anywhere

It's not bs4096 it is bs=4096. Notice there is an equals sign in there

I'm just wanting to change up some font colors and grahics on a rom I have. I was told Eclipse was the way to go, so I set up an Android Dev machine with all the plugins and recommended tools. Now what?
Since no one is willing or able to help, could someone or a Dev be so kind to get me the correct xml file that will change the top title bar fonts to white instead of black. I will put the file in the rom and re-sign it myself.
I am by no means any good at theming, I fail pretty hard, but this might help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535630
Also, maybe try posting in the theme forum. Good luck.
There are different xml files for different stuff. Check out colorchange app. It works with cyanogen to change all stuff. Much easier that the xml stuff we used to have to do. Pm me if you have any specific questions.
If you search for colorchange or even posts by me you will find it. When I turn my pc on later I will post a link if required.
Thanks for the info mates (MontAlbert and bcrook). I will check out the colorchange app. One day I will find some write ups on Elclipse and android rom programming. Will let you know how the app worked out, MontAlbert.

You probably want to ask these questions in the Android dev group(s) on Google groups. The digests I get every day indicate there is a lot of activity there.
