How to install home2? - General Questions and Answers

[B]Hello all! i ve got an Htc tytn2. can u plz tell me in detail how to install cab files and Home 2
Thank you all[/B]

Install cab files is quite straightforward. Once you have copied it to your device, you use your file manager to find it. Then you double click to 'open' the file. It will start the installation form then onwards. The same goes for Home2, it also comes as a cab file. Customizing Home2 is something different, but have a look at comunity.pointui.com where you'll find all the answers.

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)

MiniWeather for the VOX

Hey guys... just released a new chome weather version that should work with the VOX also. Can somebody give it a shot ?
I can't seem to get it to install,
Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions.
I'm using version 3 of Zeeshee ROM.
Cheers,
Same for me! Same rom. Btw, both weather progs delete my clock icon and blackscreen is not possible to load. (mini with dr.gonzo 6.1 rom)
Everything works!
Extract from cab all files for Windows directory and place them into the device.
Delete this files from cab and save cab.
Modify cab working.
Works brilliant .. Thanks a lot keep it up ... i like the background on the pictures what you post there . it will be great if you send it as well . cheers
I'm being stupid here.
I still can't get it to work.
Can someone upload the modified cab please.
Thank you.
Unzip attached file.
Copy files from 'Windows' (archive) to 'Windows' (device).
Copy cab to device and run it.
Reboot.
Enjoy!
Excellent!
Thank you for posting.
Regards,
Anyone have a screen shot of what it looks like?

weather.yahoo.com gives me NLXX001 as code
Doesn't seem to do anything
(And so is c>f not working)
Are we still using weather.yahoo.com as source?
I had already installed the original MiniWeather on my on my vox (Orange E650) and all was OK except that in portrait mode the weather image didn't show on the clock tab whereas it did in portrait mode. So I decided to install the vox version to see if it would be fixed.
Unfortunately I've found that the files can't be copied over to the device's Windows folder because Resco says they already there as read-only files in ROM and therefore cannot be overwritten. So after installing the 1.0b CAB I get the following error when I initially select options:
Unknown command: "nu=timestamp"
Line 13(\program files\nrg\chomeminiweather\SetOptions.mscr):nu=TimeStamp()
Is there anything that can be done? Would the clock/weather Image have been fixed anyway? If not I'll revert to the previous version
Thanks and nice program !!!
can someoene post a home screen to show how this should look. Its messed up on mine i believe I get 2 panels - the first one works but the image is messed up. The second one says "forecast" but in there it just says "push centre button to update, push right softkey marked options to set your options"
I had trouble copying the two chome files to the windows directory - it said I didnt have permission to copy them.
can anyone assist ?
Frottage........ It sounds like you've had a similar problem to mine above.
If you can't copy the files over the install doesn't work properly.
I've reverted to the non-Vox version and all now seems OK on my Orange E650 with Dr.Gonzo's 5.2.19195 Rom
Try using the Resco Explorer trial to copy them across. It's because the files it's trying to replace are in ROM. Resco worked on my Dr. Gonzo E650.

Extracting CAB file from PC .exe installer

I tried searching, found this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310788&page=2 but it's not answering my question.
My Kaiser came with SPB GPRS Monitor and Sprite Backup. Both came as an installation disk (exe format) to be installed through a PC. Now, I'm looking at a way to make CAB for carrying both so that anytime I do a hard reset or reflash ROM, I can re-install both without using PC. Looking at the thread, I tried opening up the .exe and able to get the Cab files (there're 2, named 1 and 2 for each setup executable extracted), but copying the Cab and running it on my Kaiser won't work.
Is there any way? I try avoiding using 'cracked' cab apps .. I have it as bundled for the Kaiser, there should be a legit way for me to have it as cabs ..
There is a way.
run the installer from your PC. when the installation screen comes up asking you to choose between storage card and device, DONT CHOOSE. instead, run a file manager and search for the cab file. it usually goes either in windows/appmgr or in application data/volatile
What if in this case, it doesn't ask, it immediately says check your WM device, there's further instruction.
Second question: is the search done on the PC or the WM?
I'll definitely give it a try .. and thanks!
if u got activesync installed on your PC, run the exe files and find the .cab files on program files/microsoft activesync folder
semoga berhasil
Thank you. Terima Kasih Will give it a try
the cab file doesn't always appear on your PC.. but it does always appear on your PPC
look for it in your PDA when it tells you to look for further instructions..
WinRAR (rarlabs.com) is free and will extract most files from EXE installer archives. However, if WinRAR won't then UniversalExtractor will. You can search for it on google and download a demo.
THANK YOU
Thanks to all who has responded.
I managed to find the CAB files under PC's respective folders (Some are under Active Sync, some like Holux, created it's own folder). Tested some of the CABs found there and it worked. Now I'm a happy camper, got all of the CABS that I need (especially GPRS Monitor )
Last question:
the cab file doesn't always appear on your PC.. but it does always appear on your PPC
look for it in your PDA when it tells you to look for further instructions..

Under which folder I should be looking? I tried TEMP but it's empty (that's before I confirming the install process)

I always do this to extract cab files from a exe installer and most of the time the cab file can be found at windows/appmgr/install
very useful and a serious time saver
Sticky or Wiki?
Thanks again for responses. I'm able to get what I need and believe this can be put as part of FAQ, Wiki or Sticky?
Sticky no.. but i will add it to the guides thread soon..

If they are .cab files you just copy the cab to your phone and install it from there.
Each .zip file has a .cab file in it for that skin.
Just plug your fuze into your computer and put the .cab files into your fuze(I usually play my cabs in the My Documents folder). You can just think of the .cad files as .exe files.

Cab file creation

Hello all,
I am trying to create a cab file for some application (exe file) that I have.
I use WinCe cab manager ... I figured out how to create the cab, which I have then been able to install.
My question is - After installation, the program shortcut does not appear in the programs menu, both in the start menu or in the list to add quick launch icons.
(i can launch the program by navigating to it ...Program Files et al)
Can someone please help me, and let me know what I need to do to list it in the programs list??
Thank you for assistance.

Did you create a shortcut in Cab Manager? It does not do it automatically.
It might be easier to help if you post the cab so others can see how it's setup.
Thank you

Thank you, Sir. I did figure it out a few minutes ago.
Attached is the cab file - It is for the SEND RECEIVE ALL program. It was posted as an exe file by Krazy_about_technology at this link ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3578322&postcount=1
He included an exe file ....and I have now created a cab file with it ....
Figured someone might need it like I did ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4974002&postcount=1
Thanks.
