Indym,
Please could you be a bit more unspecific.
Thanks

From what i think , you are opening cab files(with winRAR) which have to be directly copied to the WM device you are using rather than being extracted .
So if u have say prog.cab , dont open it with RAR
>just copy to device and run from there
Hope this helps

what file do i click to install out of the ones that are extracted coz theirs like 50 odd of them?
cheers for the quick reply buddy
you don't have to extract the cab file, just copy the cab to your device
and start file explorer - click it and the setup will start...
cabs are similar to setup.exe's on desktop computers, just for ppc
You DO NOT unpack a cab file! NO! NO! you just transfer the whole cab file to your phone by transferring it to a card or by synchronizing it using activesync! Whatever you do, don't unpack file. It will install itself once it is transferred to phone.
(sorry, was not quick enough to answer...he's beaten me to it! )

Use enclosed software which is great thanks to modaco.com
after installation, in the file manager right click on the cab file that you wan to install then you will see the menue CABviaActiveSync (device must be connected)

Adding a theme to Samsung Omnia via SPB.

I appreciate this is a total newb question but the search facility is bringing me no joy.
I want to add a theme to change the SPB look. I have downloaded the rar file but it will not extract on my PC. I have copied the file into the SPB program folder and I can see the files when I click on the rar file but don't understand how to extract them to the main SPB folder???
I'm sure there's something really easy i'm missing but my head hurts now. Anyone help me please?
Cheers

The themes file are .tsk. You should extract those RAR files in your PC and then copy those .tsk file to your memory card but don't put in folder in memory card. After that go to settings--->today and you will see those themes, select the one you like and click ok. It will be changed to that.
Hope it will help.
For some reason the rar file will not extract on my PC. Any ideas?

Why you should not be able to extract .rar files. I think may be your rar file are corrupt? Please download again. What rar program you use to extract? You can use 7zip which is free.

REQ: Manila 2.6 files please

a person posted below that if someone can be kind enough to upload all the manila files from their windows folder on their rom then he can create a cab out of them for everybody else to use.
Please please please will someone do this or tell me how to take apart a rom to do it, this would open up 2.6 to most people who own any HTC phone, not just topaz, like me, Rhodium
-- original --
Could someone make a cab version of 2.6 to save having to flash a whole new rom for it, i know someone did it with 2.0
Thanks
Mark

That would be a very great .CAB file if it exists or someone has the knowledge to create it !
+1
... or the OEM package for people like me who, although they have tried until they are blue in the face, just can not create a successful OEM from a CAB.
OEM packages ... one of the banes of my life
i can if someone using the rom just posts the files here..copy all the _manila files frm the wqindows folder and post them here in a zip file

I actually can help but my internet is too slow.
The only thing you need to do is to flash this udk Leo R1 WM6.5 ROM and then copy the Windows file to storage card, zip it and upload it here or send it to rotastrain to make a cab.
I have udk Leo R1 WM6.5 ROM, but dont have Topaz, how can i find Manila 2.6 files in this rom without flashing?
ok.......i try copy window folder and zip for you......tnk's
we'll wait, but we dont need all files from windows folder, we need only manila files, i think... tnk's

Cannot Get 7z Files To Work!!!!!!!!

OK Ive Done Everything I Can Think Of But Im New To THis Stuff..Can Someone Please Give Me A Step By Step On THis..Ive Been Trying To Install THe Energy Sense 23557 I THink It Is For My Hd2(Leo) and Ive Downloaded On My Phone And On My Computer But I Dont Know What TO Do After That..Ive Tried Using The jzip and zip manager but i really dont understand what im supposed to be doing..can someone please help me..i really want that rom..thanks
Welcome aboard!!
Go here and download the 7Z software that will run on your OS.
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Then extract the ROM using 7Z.
Follow flashing instructions posted in the sticky thread at the top of your respected devices forum and your done.
I have tried the energy ROM's and they are well done.
Install 7-zip, then right click on the .7z file and under 7-zip, select 'extract files' (don't select 'extract files here', it can be a mess if there's a lot of stuff in there). A pop-up may appear (can't remember); just click ok and it will take a minute or so.

Opera 9.7.36000

New Opera version: download
You know the drill... unpack and copy opera9.exe over the opera9.exe in the \windows folder (preferably using Resco File Explorer)
Changelog: don't know
Is it better than other versions: find out yourself
thank you
Thanks very much
Thanks dude.
Hi, what about the people who do not know the drill? where do i copy the file? and then what do i do? do i have to use resco explorer, i want to use the normal file explorer. i have a T-MO HD2

You have to extract the Opera9 file and copy directly to Windows.
It is all.
Best Regards,
Hi, what you have said is a bit vague. the extrated file from the download is an exe file so dnt i need to run it once i copy it over? and what windows directory? do you mean the windows folder on the device memory? not the opera9 folder in the windows directory?
so your asking i copy the exe file into the windows folder on the device memory and just run the exe? is that what i do?
please explain properly (full file path and instructions)
Thank you very much

Yes you have to copy Opera9 file to the Windows device memory, then you will be asked to overwrite, so you should tam yes.
Afterthat you can normally run Opera web browser but in new version.
just in my head?
is it just in my head or is this much faster!?!
ty gonna try it out

Much faster doing what? Page loading times are about your internet connection are they not?
Faster optimization, screen rotation? Pleaze post !
I copied the file overiding the original and when I try to start opera, it says "Opera Loader" with a red cross which when pressed it exits...
Any thoughts?

I deleted the existing Opera.exe file from the Windows folder and copied this one, but the app won't start. I think it has something to do with the attributes of the new exe file. The ROM attribute is ghosted. Any ideas?
Thanks
Procedure is clear to me. Just overwrite .exe file with new .exe file
But to spare me hazzle and spending one day to revert: does this change my opera-settings which I tweaked in operaconfig or goof them by incompatibility ?
Does this new build support flash better than the old one ?
What EXACTLY can the new build better than the old one ?

I have similar questions,my opera is skinned and as troed mentioned
several operaconfig tweaks including having moved the Cache.
Anyone know whether these will all need re-doing if we upgrade
to newer version ?
In short is it worth the effort just to have a different version number ?
Anybody notice that with this version Manila internet ta bookmark thumbnail don't work with manila 2016?

Hey Bobsbbq, do you mean the thumbnail not populating a page image? If so, yes I have. The only way I've found to get the image to show up is to open each favorite site in IE.
