How to edit CAB files?

Hi,
yesterday my first pocketc phone arrived (BTW it's a german MDA compact); yeah, the first windows mobile of my life!
Thanks to this forum (which i've been lurking for a while) i was able to install the latest Italian Imate Jam ROM (1.12) flawlessly, i was even able to avoid extended_rom's cabs installation (by soft-resetting the device after a hard reset). As soon as i'll buy a new sd card and a card reader, i'll apply the big storage trick too.
Now I have a question: on this thread Sun75's talking about a modded extended rom where most of the CABs included have been modified by changing their default install location (from memory to storage).
Now i wonder: how can i edit my own CAB files to modify their install path or even their content (by, for example, replacing a program with another as Sun75 did)?
What program should i use? How can i 'mod' my own extended rom as Sun75 did???
Thanks u all,
Isidoro
PS: i've searched this forum for a similar post but found nothing; i used Google too; i've also RTFM. I apologize if this question has been answered somewhere but, if so, i wasn't able to find it.

WinCE Cab Manager
Go HERE

If u want to install cabs on SD card,then simply install a registry editor,then navigate to, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/Apps/Microsoft Application installer,and change the DWORD Value of "fAskDest",to 1(Dec),then u will be asked each time u install a cab file of the desired destination....
But if u want to edit cab files,search for "WinCeCabManager 1.1"....
My advice will be to copy ur extended rom to the storage card,make a backup copy to ur pc hard disk,then performe the big storage,edit the Dword value mentioned above,then install the desired cabs,on the SD...
Good luck

Delete Cab

Hi everyone,
Maybe a silly question but i'm a beginner... after installing a cab on WM6 can i remove it to gain some memory ?
Great forum, i'm learning a lot here

Hi!
I don't think the original question was how to remove the program, but rather if the cab file can be removed (if I'm wrong I apologize, but I interpreted the question different).
Anyway, yes, you can safely remove the cab file from the device after installing it. To remove the installed program use the method described by Rudegar.
It may be wise to store the cab files on the storage card, so you have them available if you have to make a hard reset.

tks for the reply paalkr and yes that was my question. So i can delete or save the cabs on the storage card and will have no problems with my device if i understood well
tks again guys

Hi!
Thats correct! Put the cabs on the storage card. You can then install them from that location also, but I guess you already know that.

SIM Manager request

ATT SIM Manager
Posted this in Kaiser, with no luck so,
Anyone have a cab of the SIM Manager that you can access in programs?
Installed the one from dutty's cab thread,but the applet doesn't show up in programs or anything.
Any help?

Found the app in Alex's OEM pkgs, and asked Kyphur if he could make a cab out of it in his v1.2 thread. That's the best I've been able to come up with.

thx, but that's the one we're having issues with. It'll install and give access to the SIM card but, the applet isn't there.
Alemaker

Maybe the older version will work. I'll put it up so you can give it a try:

make a cab from the 6.33 version please

After much help from Dutty (thanks!) I can now confirm that this cab (attached) will install SIM Manager 6.33 (even though under remove applications it says it installed 6.31).
Unfortunately, it does not automatically create a shortcut ... so after the install you will have to (a) find the exe file in your windows folder (remember to "show all files") and then (b) create a shortcut to drop into your "windows/startmenu/programs" directory.
Worked fine for me ... and thanks again to Dutty for educating me here.

ey man, If you don't matter, same CAB, with version corrected and link added
Cheers.

SASHIMI and new 6.5.x roms

Hi everybody? I am trying to find a solution to a issue with sasimi on the new 6.5.X roms (with the start button on the lower bar). The issue is that sashimi cant install cabs to storage card. I searched the web and foud some ideas that u need to hack the sashimi.mrsc file but none of them was working.
Can anybody who succeeded in runing sashimi post his workoround? That would really help me. Thanks ion advance.

Nobody here uses sashimi?

Hello
unpack attached and replace the file in \\SASHIMI\Program\Bin\SASHIMI.mscr
and it will work with Win 6.5.X

Man, I love you, thanks.

Will it also still work with older winmo versions? Or does this break that functionality... thanks though! (Thinking of it, only using 6.5.x now anyway...)

Faaaaaaaaaantastic, it works.
Now, is there a way to install cabs to the device as well. I have tried "device" and nothing for the ASL directory, but nothing installs.
I have the Autoinstall facility on my rom but am a bit dubious to have have Autoinstall and Sashimi both working after a re-rom.

you need to install Sashimi program once in you device to storage card
1- if you already install Sashimi.cab you will get SASHIMI folder in storage card
2- copy cab's programs that you want to install in main memory to SASHIMI\Auto\cab\
3-copy cab's programs that you want to install in main memory to SASHIMI\Auto\cab\SC\
3-copy reg files that you want to install in SASHIMI\Auto\REG\
and so on
after you upgrade your Leo or hardreset it, run Autorun.exe from SASHIMI\Program\2577\
and chose AUTO

I just replaced my SASHIMI.mcsr and it does fix files installed to the device memory but for cabs installed to the storage card, I have to still select storage card and hit 'OK'. Then I have to go to the Home menu and come back to SASHIMI before SASHIMI will carry on with the next cab (in which then I have to repeat the steps for all cabs to be installed to the SC).
Anyone know what could be wrong?
I'm running: Energy.RHODCDMA.23549.Sense2.5_with_Cookie_HomeTab.Mar.20.7z
on a TP2

Me too
It seems that the "SendSpecial ("Down")" is not working and the script may be hanging on the command, or something like that. You don't see the selection change, so it could also be the "SendSpecial("Space")" not working. Either way, the "SendSpecial("LeftSoft")" just after is obviously not firing. Not sure why it's different now, but it apparently is. There used to be a "SendSpecial("CR")" instead of the "SendSpecial("Space")", so I'll try that to see if it's working again (worked in win6.1, not in win6.5). Mine's been working just fine, up till the very latest Energy ROM on my CDMA TP2.

I think it connected to the roms u are using. For me it worked with one rom, then I flashed other rom and I experencied the same thing as you.

sorry to ask, but so far I have no clue about Sashimi but would like to use it and read therefore as much as I could.
Is point 3 a typo?
>3-copy cab's programs that you want to install in main memory to SASHIMI\Auto\cab\SC\
shouldn´t it be:
3-copy cab's programs that you want to install in Storage Card to SASHIMI\Auto\cab\SC\
Sorry to ask maybe the obvious but for a newbie it is helping to sort out missunderstanding.

You're right there off course

I am having no luck with the v8.0 of Sashimi. I have the Artemis ROM (WinMo v. 6.5.5).
Auto mode only installs cabs from cab/ASL folder. I replaced the Sashimi.mscr with the one posted in this thread but to no avail.
Do you guys have any suggestions?

me too,
sashimi doesnt install (not works) for new artemis v7. It install all my cabs from auto/SC to device becasue it can not move cursore down anymore..
any suggestions?

I also had a problem with cabs not auto installing onto my Storage Card, instead they were installing to My Device. I have been doing some hunting around for the solution and i think i have managed to find it. (its worked for me anyway).
Go to SASHIMI > Program > Bin, BACKUP SASHIMI.mscr and then replace with the one i have attached. I am no coder so please don't ask me about specifics, there were just some hashes added to the beginning of a couple of lines of code. Like i say it worked for me, so hopefully it will work for you Let us know if it works for you. Cheers.

I'm surprised that either of the attachments on this thread works on HD2 Leo. I found that there is a very basic problem with mortscript and all sashimi scripts will hang. Two symptoms:
1) if not in flight mode, sometimes hangs during initialisation
2) if auto install to storage card, will hang (leaving you to select the radio button and press install)
and there is no easy cure.

Navipanel and copilot 8

Hi all.
New to the forum but by reading lots of replies this looks like the place to come.
I just bought the hd2 last week and think its a fantastic phone. Having read numerous posts I decided to by the copilot 8 yesterday and install it from the alk site.
I have also found the Navipanel icon in the windows directory but my problem is this.
When I launch the Navipanel using the windows icon it does not recognise my copilot 8 software. there are no menu buttons i can press on navipanel except the dial icon.
Is there any way I can get Navipanel to recognise my copilot software, so I can use all the functions available.
Thanks in advance

boost to top

come on guys someone must know about NaviPanel. is it possibly cab solution?

you need to put alksdk.dll in your windows directory and then register the Dll.
The files are in the copilot cab laurentius has put together for his RoM. uncompress the Cab and look at the xml for details.
You need to look at Laurentius Rom thread for the Cab.

Dude boosting you to top because I'm looking for a solution to this. I installed a custom Rom and have every button grayed out except PHONE. Need to know how to fix for Copilot. Also do you have that cab file? Its not on his ROM thread and by chance have you tried this yourself?

i have the same problem with custom rom icons in navipanel are grey accept the phone icon. please gif me a cab file

This problem occurs if you have CoPilot installed to your storage card. Same sh*t with the "navigate to" option in footprints. Doesn´t work. Since I uninstalled CoPilot and reinstalled it afterwards to main memory everything works fine.

NO NO if copilot install main memory the same problem on custom rom

is there anybody with do have the solution? please
