Odds are they just added the .zip extension to upload them. Just delete the .zip out of the name and try to install the cab then.

Most of the time when you see a file named cabname.cab.zip, they just added the .zip so they could upload it.

1. While the phone is off, press and hold Volume Down + Talk/Send + End/Power.
2. When the device displays a message about wiping the data, release all 3 buttons.
3. Press Volume Up to complete the hard reset.

I search the forums and the net but sometime answers are very complicated and after reading some posts I have more questions than answers.
I have a tilt and follow all your instructions. Or most of them. I installed the HTC Home Customizer and I want to customize the weather forecast with my town Niceville / 32578. But it does not work. What should I do?
Thanks
OK, this is it. Use a program called total commader to do the copy and pasting first of all.
now, go HERE for the rest of the instructions.

Possible step 4 resolution
Here is a .cab that should solve step 4 issues. D/l and run from device, continue to step 5. Not trying to step on toes, just think this would solve the issue for anyone having issues w/ this.
HtcHome.cab
You may have to install sdk cert before running the cab.
Sdk cert

do me a favor, use that dll file i posted earlier, copy it to your ppc and then using resco file explorer or total commander paste it to your windows directory. then soft reset.
EDIT:
When you went back to the home screen and touched the weather icon, did it show "niceville" in the tabbed area?

What I gave you is not a shortcut. It is an executable that runs a command to open the start menu. There is no native startmenu.exe in WM.

Once you get the hang of reading the hex it will be much easier. Just remember to search for the hex string in reverse.

Nope. Sorry. Well doesn't it come with mac OS x? Just without Windows?
And the solution posted above won't work. The files should not be extracted. Unless there's an app that will let you package a bundle of files into an .apk within a .zip file. Which would work but I can't find a .apk compressor.
Thanks so far guys.
ooor you could make it into a zip and rename it to .apk...
Ive tried that.
extract the .apk, edit what i want, zip it up then rename it to myfile.zip to myfile.apk right?

If you can extract the files, it seems like you dont need 7zip/WinRAR... Just drag the files you have edited overtop of the window of whatever program you used to extract. No?
im not exactly sure what you mean but from what i think your saying, no i cant just drag a file into the apk like i can on 7-zip
Ah yea, sorry, I used APK builder in the sdk :/
If you can, you could run windows/linux in a vm, then you should be able to pack em correctly.
Or ask a friend if he/she can do it for you

Well boot camp is free and included in Leopard/Snow Leopard but, you defenatelly have to buy Windows. I suggest going on ebay, buy a re-install dell disk for seven (they are around $20) and just temporaily use it for your needs until the 30 day trial expires. Or you can just buy it....
