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.

Hi. My PDA connector is broken, so I cannot install an app from the PC. I'm thinking of "extracting" files from a .exe setup file and turn it into a .cab file so I can place it in my MMC and install it from the phone. Is this possible?
Thanks.
many installs are selfextracting zips and renaming it from .exe to zip make it possible to
copy out the cab
many installs also put the cabs in a dir on the pc so one can do a search for it
I'm going to try that. Thanks mate!
The setup.exe installer will copy the cab file to a directory in
C:\Windows\WindowsMobile
or to the installation directory, usually:
C:\Program Files\<name-of-program-installed>
Copy the appropriate cab file to your MMC card.
Alternatively, use a program like UniExtract which will extract files from installshield installers and similar programs.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!
The installer, unfortunately, wasn't similar to .zip and .rar but rather VISE. I also tried innounp but stupid me, it won't work.
Thank you. THANKS A LOT!!
i was wondering if there was any way to un-pack a *.tsk theme file so that i could just have the background image? i need it for a spb theme i'm having made. thanks for your help.
rename it to a CAB file (change .tsk to .cab) and use mscinf to extract the file

Been searching a couple days how to install rar files on to my Verizon XV6900 vogue with WM6.1. I am attaching one of the files I am tring to install, for general help. I can seem to install in activesync, from withing sorage card, etc.
Thanks, in advance
Dave,
Unless you have pocket Rar installed on you device you cant install as its zipped. Download a free RAR extractor on your PC, unpack it and you will find your CAB or files inside...... simply copy them/it to your PPC and voila
pocket rar is installed
I did zip the file to upload it, the forum would not accpt it in rar form. When I put the rar on my device ((XV6900 vogue verizon) WM6.1 ROM 3.14.605.1), I was able to unpack it but there was no cab. I upoaded it tthinking somebody would check the contents and help me out.

Sorry about that Dave, i mis-understood what you were trying to do It would help me if u gave me the link where you got the rar file as it would probably contain instructions as to where on ur device you need to copy the unzipped files to (like /windows etc). Let me know where you got the rar file from.
cant find original thread I d/l from
It was from rstoyguy
All I was basicall looking for for my phone was the Diamond Theme and the diamond dialer. I 'm pretty new to modifying my phones. I did flash the rom to the magicflo but went back. Is there a way to just THEME my current rom?
Hi there, I just bought a new HTC 2 Pro and upgrade to 6.5, so now I want to install a few application that I download from here but all I see is files and a setup.xml, there is no .cab file on it. Can some body tell how can I work this out.
Thank You.
What kind of files besides the xml? What were you trying to install?
Does the file you download appear as a .zip when you find all the files (like _setup.xml)? Your internet browser might be renaming the .cab extension on the downloaded files to .zip. When you're looking at the file you downloaded on your computer, does it show up with the extension .cab or .zip (does it look like a filing cabinet or a zipped folder)? If the file with _setup.xml inside it shows up as a ZIP file, rename the extension to .cab, place it on your device somewhere, and open it with File Explorer Mobile (on your device). You're likely opening the cab file one way or another
Thank you for your replys. I am trying to install (Srub) in my phone. when I extrac the files to a folder all I see is _setup.xml, 000scrub.000, 000scrub.001 and thats it. So do I have to rename one of this to .cab? if it is which one is?
my money is on the file you extracted those files from
rename that to cab
Problem Resolve, I upgrade to the later Rom (EnergyROM Leo! Landscape and Documents!) and this rom have an application named (Pocket Rar) so I just create a folder inside my Doc and launch the .cab from there. I love it!!! Thank You all for your help.
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

Thanks very much
Thanks dude.

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 ?

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.
