Hello,
I have M2D files instead of CAB for installing M2D to Portégé G900 (a WVGA device) , would you please tell me where to copy those files and how to activate? Thanking you in advance.
You should check the main M2D thread in development and hacking to see if it can be run on Portege..
Thanks but this M2D is customized for WVGA device, particularly G900, but I could not find instruction to copy/activate it to my Portégé. I heard there is ways to copy/activate it instead of installing directly from cab file.
I'm sure that if M2D's graphics files were ported to WVGA you can find it here.
I've the ported file for WVGA M2D but its not an installer, needs copying/activating in the windows folder, but I do not know, how
if you have the files required for a WVGA M2D, all you have to do is copy them over to your windows folder.
you can use either Total Commander or Resco Explorer.

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!!

The title says everything.
Only thing with WinCE Cab Manager is that I installed it and after a reboot it says that my trial is over - darn i havent started it before in my life in my computer and it says that trial is over
Damn.
Are there any alternatives or where could i get a working version? (version lower than 2.0 eg: 1.1)
I use Pocket PC Installation Creator, it's not free but a hell of a lot cheaper then WinCE Cab manager (http://www.aperitto.com/index.php)
Or if you are handy with making .inf files and using cabwiz try the utils in the zip: MSCEInf.exe to extract contents from a cab (including .inf file) and cabwiz.exe to make cab from .inf file
You can edit the inf or use it as an example for your own inf and than use cabwiz to make new cab. Disadvantage is that it is a lot of work if you have cabs with a lot of registry keys and files
good luck

i have same problem
well, i also ever got the same problem
Sometimes, HTCHomeSetting.xml is not made to be put on windows folder but on Manilla gfx folder. And that used to be my problem
try to reinstal manilla2D, and use M2DC to backup and restore your default skin, i hope it's work
Your HTCHomeSetting.xml file is messed up.
Here is the stock XML file. Turn off M2D (untick TouchFLO in your today settings), drop this xml file in your windows folder and try reloading M2d.
I always keep the stock XML for instances like this. Even sometimes the restore doesn't fix itm2d issues.

What kinda device are you installing this on?
How are you using to transfer the files? Activesync? WMDC? Total Commander?
Are you manually applying the theme or using M2D Customizer?

its a tmobile wing/ htc herald I put the files on my sd card throu activesync and then tryed to copy them to the windows folder on my phone memory. Not sure on how to do this at all I have figured out alot of other stuff just not the theme stuff
You shouldn't have to drop the XML on your SD card. Just browse for the windows folder on your device and drop it in there right away. If it doesn't let you drop it in the Win folder, then I would drop it on my SD card and use software called ''Total Commander''. TM is pretty much a file explorer but will let you change system files that would normally error.
Being I dont know all your circumstances, this is what I would do and how I have it setup on my phone. Works flawless as well. I can change themes in seconds.
If that XML file didn't cure your problems then I'm assuming you have issues elsewhere as well.
First I would remove M2D and reinstall it. Once you have that working again, download and install Manilla 2D Customizer...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392
Create a new folder on your storage card and name it ''M2d Themes''. M2D customizer works with a file extension of ''.mtdct'' Some skinners will create there theme's file with this extension for you. It is nothing more then a zip file with the extension renamed.
If the theme's files your trying to install is compressed into zip format, just rename the file from ''.zip'' to ''.m2dct''. Drop the file into your new ''M2D Themes'' folder on your storage card, open up M2D Customizer and browse for the themes ''m2dct'' file you wish to install. Click ''Apply Theme'' and it does all the work for you.
I must have 30 themes in my M2D Themes folder and as I feel the need for a change, I'll load M2D Customizer and switch themes. It's a piece of cake!
Hope this helps.
My icons don't update correctly when I apply a new theme using M2DC...Someone mentioned that there are v1 and v2 themes but I can't for goodness sake distinguish between them. Apparently some hacked versions of M2D will only correctly use v2 themes...Any ideas/suggestions? I have searched all over but can't seem to find a solution other than overwriting the HTCHome...xml file...
Can anybody explain me how to make a self-extracting cab file, and what software to use?
What i'm trying to do is this:
I want to CAB some translated Manila files and put them into the \Internal Storage\Backup and Restore\Cab\ directory of my Diamond, so that i can have the files automatically extracted to the devices map \Windows\ after a hard reset.
Thanks & best regards
You can use WinCE CAB Manager. There is a free test version aviable. It can create cabs easy.
or QuickCAB
1st I just want to say how great this site is!
This may be a stupid questions, but I've tried searching for a definitive answer on XDA and can't find one.
I have an VZW Omnia i910, I'm using SPB MS3 with the skin pack from http://www.imarche.net/omnia/index.php, but I would like to load some themes/skins that are available thru XDA that I found in this thread. I'm not sure where to put the .dat files that accompany the .cab files?
This is the folder structure I have
My Device >> My Storage >> SpbMobileShell3.0 >> SpbMobileShellSkins with the folders Commons, Original, Scripts, WQVGA. Do I put them in one of those folders?
No one?
Have u installed the mortscript itself? It would be easier to customize SpbMS skin after installing mortscript

I have different folder structure from yours but u're right that the .dat files should be placed inside there
sorry for my bad english, HTH
Thanks for the reply.
I use the MortScript that came with this. So I should put the new skins/themes in the same folder as the MortScript file?
No, not in the same folder as the mortscript file
I also use the mortscript from imarche site. In my nike, i dont have to copy and paste the .dat files to Program Files>>Spb Mobile Shell 3 folder, simply go to:
Tools >> Spb Skin 4.0, and there u can customize background, buttons, weather images, etc. But of course for another skins without mortscript, u have to copy and paste the .dat files to Program Files>>Spb Mobile Shell 3 folder (manually)
*PS:back up your original files before customizing it
Thanks again....I will try that.
