Hi All,
Can anyone direct me to some usefull tutorials on creating custom CAB files for my SP5.
At this stage, i'm just trying to create an automated CAB that will change the homescreen to a bitmap of my choice.
I can manually dump the file on the device, but i'd like to put it into a cab file so it will automatically dump the bitmap set it as my homescreen.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers !

Thanks for the response guy's.
I've actually got the OCP CAB manager application.
But it doesn't work with Windows Mobile 2005 based CAB's.
Smart archiver doesn't support WM2005 CAB's either
I'm finding there is a lack of suppoort for WM2005.
I guess i'll just have to make them manually by compiling from an inf file.
Can anyone post a template inf file for the WM2005 OS ?
I can use that as a base, then compile the CAB with cabwiz.
thanks again.
keep pushing ,I want to know the same thing as you.
I tried so many way to open and edit file in Cab-files for WM2005.
Just some files that can be open with CeCABManager.
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
Hi!
I want to edit a skin package for the program "Tengo Thumb" by myself.. I have a cab file with a skin inside it but when I open it with winrar the files don't have any file-endings.. I want to get to those pictures and change them to something nicer.
Any clues?
You can install the software, take out all files you want to edit from the folder they were installed to, and then replace them with the edited files. Sounds easy, doesn't it?
This is what I do when I edit the resources of various EXEs and DLLs - sure the same will work for images.
You can afterwards repack the installed program using, for example, SK Tools (Installed Programs - Marked items - Make cab) and get yourself a working installer
There might be better and more professional ways to do the same - if anyone knows, please educate us
You could use a .cab editer like Cab Manager. With that, you can extract and add files, and then re-save the new .cab file.

Very Basic Question
Up to now I have only "consumed" as a user, but I start to dig deeper...
Basic Question: The manila files contain only pictures (skins, buttons etc.)? There is no code in?
So if I modify one of the manilas, I just change the appearance of that specific part of the screen?
If anyone could confirm or explain the function of the manila files, would be great.

Some Manila files are only graphics (called QTC) others are Luascripts and Mode9 (what you call code).
The tool described above will help you for the graphics
oh wow loads better than manila editor thanks man
Your welcome!
Which manila file is responsilbe for the day format in the weather tab?
copy your manila files in a folder on your pc and scan the folder with this
http ://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464984 (remove the space before the : to get the link to work) and it'll give you the name of the files and therefore their functionality
I figured out that it is 308671e5_manila.
I edited the file to the desired format but it doesn't change in the weather tab.
Any idea?
