thanks in advance

http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about

thanks for the link but it was useless, they were files that i couldnt use,i downloaded on pc, un zipped and expected to be able to runa program but this was not possible as they were unknown files.

http://corecodec.org/frs/download.php/366/tcpmp.arm.cabs.0.71.zip
download this file, then extract the cab file which is inside, then copy the cab to your device, then run it, then it will install, and after that a new icon will pop in programs menu, then start it, then open the file you wish to play, then watch it.
i can not write it simpler, sorry

thanks, thats straight forward enough.

as my laptop is in for repairs to the motherboard im struggling to extract the cab file needed, if some one would be kind enough to give a link to the cab file i would be most gratefull.
thanks for the help guys

try resco explorer it can handle archives, or pocketrar

thanks ,but i already have winzip, the file is a windows setup and i cant open it as its exe.i tried downloadind resco explorer and that is also a exe file, i am limited to my ppc for downloading at the moment, any more sugestions appreciated.
thanks

I Need Help With Installing A Cab (ftouchflo)

I need serious help, I can not get the HTouchFlo program to install on my Apache 6700 with WM6 on it. I have installed the files, but im not able to install the program. I tapped on the .exe file on my phone and the file with the source of the program comes up, it does not execute and install. All other files have nothing to associate itself with. What am I doing wrong? I don't have any other program of the sort on my phone. Can someone please help this newbie get this program to work. I would greatly appreciate the help.

first of all any file said .exe will not install if it is on ur phone. only .cab files will install.
u need FTouchFlo_v1.4.1.CAB
and HTCCube2.cab
to install onto the phone memory not storage card.

You might also need the TouchFLO Settings CAB file.

CAB files

i know this is probably a stupid question, but i cannot get cab files onto my pocket pc. i have read and it says that all i should have to do is copy it from my comp. and paste it in a folder in my phone. do i have to have a sd card to do this, becuase while using active sync it will not let me do it at all. i am very very new to this stuff so please no bashing and any help would be great.

in activesync click "explore" and find where you want to drop the files then drag it over or copy and paste it.

thanks joel i have tried that and when i drag it over it shows as an circle with an line through and it will not let me put it in there maybe i am not extracting it properly or something i dont know.

there is nothing to extract, its drag and drop. Try copy and pasting. (also, make sure the device is still connected)

first of all, tell us which device do you have and which windows are you runnig on it?
second of all, tell us the enviroment of your computer, that is the Operating system (vista, xp or linux?)
the overall process should really be easy, copy the cab, click explore and click the "my documents" folder, right click and selct Paste, thats it...browse the location you pasted the CAB File from your pocket Pc and install it

Here is a more detailed instruction on how to install a CAB :

Really simple question

I'm trying to create a program for windows mobile 2003/5.0/6.0 smartphone but I can't for the life of find the File Explorer. I can in 6.0 but where is it in 5.0 or 2003. Please no links to google or "jfgi" responses, I wouldn't be asking if I had yielded any success.
Thanks in advance

Have you tried looking into Total Commander. It is a 3rd party app and is a very good File Explorer for the PPC, I highly recommend it. As for the stock one, it should just be in the program folder, no?
Hope this helps.
PS If you Google Total Commander for Pocket PC, be sure to download and install the PPC version NOT the desktop version.

Nol. It isn't. I can't find the stock file explorer to save my life. Did 5.0/2003 not come with one? Am I so stupid that it's right in front of my face?

on my Jamin beofre i flashed 6.1 rom it had 5.0. I am sure the iexplore.exe was in the windows folder, 99% sure it should be there. I dont have it anymore so i can t check for you, but i have a reasonable memory

Not the internet explorer. File explorer. Or file manager. Either one. Nowhere to be found.

Lol, Ironically, he would need to search the Windows Folder from File Manager, which he doesn't have apparently
Like I suggested, download and install Total Commander. And do it with a .msi over the Activesync cable, because you won't be able to install a .cab from the storage card without a File Explorer. From there, you can then look in File Manager for its own launch program.

THANK YOU. Seriously, thank you. I wasn't sure if it didn't have a file explorer of I was just retarded. Thanks for clearing that up though.

[Q] Load Programs?

Ok, new to all this. I have a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 CDMA. I flashed to an Energy Rom, looks great. Now... How do I load other software... games and such? I have looked around here, thinking it would be part of the first post, I was wrong. Perhaps this site is too advanced for that? If so, point me to a newbee site and off I shall ride. Thanks in advance for your help. This phone is awesome, and the Energy rom I loaded, looks sweet.

well. there is the microsoft marketplace. or .cab files.
.cab file instructions...
one. download application's .cab file. suggested list of applications can be found here.
two. move the .cab onto your phone's storage card.
three. on your phone, navigate to the .cab file with file explorer, or other like program.
four. open .cab file.
five. choose installation location. device or storage card.
six. select install.
seven. enjoy.
and i havent ever used marketplace before...
i always find the .cab file.

Not to make fun, but it is pretty surprising the you are able to unlock the phone and reflash the OS, but can't install software.
If you search this site, Microsoft Marketplace, or just do a Google for "Windows Mobile freeware", you'll find many thousands of apps. Find the app you want, copy or download the .CAB file to the TP2, and execute it.
For example, Google "Google Mobile Maps", download the Windows Mobile .CAB file, and run it.

Thanks
Well, the instructions to flash a phone are detailed and many. One problem I had was I was dropping the 7zip file onto the phone. Also, I could not unzip the file with the extension of 7z because I did not have the correct unzip manager. Another issue was I was trying to Sync the programs to the phone. Thanks for clearing it up. Is there a logical place to put them on the phone to make them run fast? Thanks in advance.

Installing to main (internal) memory is much faster than installing to the SD (external) memory. Installing large programs to the SD card is the general rule of thumb for obvious reasons. It's up to you where you prefer to install them.
If you mean where should you put the actual *.cab files, then you could always delete them once they've been installed. You don't need them again unless you're going to flash constantly. It's always good to back them up, so storing them on your PC or the SD card would be preferable.

Thanks a bunch!

well, check out this thread..........
cabs just load on the phone and run like any program, just find the file and click it. exe's need to run from windows (regular computer) and install through activesync.

Excellent Thread!!!!!!!! I too made all those mistake and diddn't know how to load .cab files. This is my first foray into modding phones so this thread was quite informative.
