So i dled some themes that are cab files and every time i go into astro and click the cab, it says that "file 001 cannot be found"
any help?
I would guess that you downloaded a theme made for a windows mobile phone. Only themes that have been made for the Droid Incredible will work on the Droid Incredible. They usually are packaged as a .zip file. Also, some only work with specific roms, so if you are still running the stock rom, then make sure to read through each theme's thread to see which rom it will work for. If you have any further questions, feel free to pm me and I'll do my best to help.
.cab is a Windows archive format. Does Android even support that format?
thats for windows android uses .apk files

Has anyone managed to extract the Windows Media Player 10 cab file from the extended rom?
When WMP10 came out and it was decided not to make it available for download, I remember some people saying it that they had extracted it from the Ext ROM of their new devices that had it but I dont think the cab was ever posted on a thread.
Does anyone have it? If so, does itwork by just installing it on another ppc that is relatively older - i.e. one that didnt ship with it.
That would be really good, as I don't want to put the chinese translated ROM back on my phone.
Unfortunately WMP10 isn't stored on the Ext ROM so just extracting it is out of the question. It appears to be embedded into the OS.
So I doubt you'll be able to get it as an upgrade install soz
Anyone know how to extract a CAB file which is built into a ROM of a device?
I want to create a CAB of something which is installed in the ROM. Any idea??
You need to use DumpRom.exe to extract the files from ROM to your computer.
Try to search closely about it
Good luck!
Does DumpRom produce proper files? On my universal I have a lot of slightly corrupted executeables/resources. Doesn't bother me much, I use another method, but perhaps I have an old copy of dumprom?
V
Yes,some files could result corrupted
Will this work with the network branding and customisation packs?

i have same problem
well, i also ever got the same problem
Sometimes, HTCHomeSetting.xml is not made to be put on windows folder but on Manilla gfx folder. And that used to be my problem
try to reinstal manilla2D, and use M2DC to backup and restore your default skin, i hope it's work
Your HTCHomeSetting.xml file is messed up.
Here is the stock XML file. Turn off M2D (untick TouchFLO in your today settings), drop this xml file in your windows folder and try reloading M2d.
I always keep the stock XML for instances like this. Even sometimes the restore doesn't fix itm2d issues.

What kinda device are you installing this on?
How are you using to transfer the files? Activesync? WMDC? Total Commander?
Are you manually applying the theme or using M2D Customizer?

its a tmobile wing/ htc herald I put the files on my sd card throu activesync and then tryed to copy them to the windows folder on my phone memory. Not sure on how to do this at all I have figured out alot of other stuff just not the theme stuff
You shouldn't have to drop the XML on your SD card. Just browse for the windows folder on your device and drop it in there right away. If it doesn't let you drop it in the Win folder, then I would drop it on my SD card and use software called ''Total Commander''. TM is pretty much a file explorer but will let you change system files that would normally error.
Being I dont know all your circumstances, this is what I would do and how I have it setup on my phone. Works flawless as well. I can change themes in seconds.
If that XML file didn't cure your problems then I'm assuming you have issues elsewhere as well.
First I would remove M2D and reinstall it. Once you have that working again, download and install Manilla 2D Customizer...

Create a new folder on your storage card and name it ''M2d Themes''. M2D customizer works with a file extension of ''.mtdct'' Some skinners will create there theme's file with this extension for you. It is nothing more then a zip file with the extension renamed.
If the theme's files your trying to install is compressed into zip format, just rename the file from ''.zip'' to ''.m2dct''. Drop the file into your new ''M2D Themes'' folder on your storage card, open up M2D Customizer and browse for the themes ''m2dct'' file you wish to install. Click ''Apply Theme'' and it does all the work for you.
I must have 30 themes in my M2D Themes folder and as I feel the need for a change, I'll load M2D Customizer and switch themes. It's a piece of cake!
Hope this helps.
My icons don't update correctly when I apply a new theme using M2DC...Someone mentioned that there are v1 and v2 themes but I can't for goodness sake distinguish between them. Apparently some hacked versions of M2D will only correctly use v2 themes...Any ideas/suggestions? I have searched all over but can't seem to find a solution other than overwriting the HTCHome...xml file...
I have Conflippers 10-21 ROM on my alltell touch.. So far I have not had to many issues and the problems I have had, I found the answers pretty easy either here or over @ ppcgeeks.. But these themes are killing me.. I'm sure it is something simple I am just not seeing but here I am anyway..
I have found and read through the theme threads, found some I like and downloaded the zip files. I unzip them to my pc no problem.. Here is where the problems start.. about half the time when I try to move them to my storage card through activesync I get a alert telling me it cannot convert a file.
now if it does copy over ok, I can go through the md2c and see the folder on my storage card but if I try to add it to my themes folder I get a error that says I am missing the HTChomesettings.xlm(I think) file and it will not add it?
what am I missing here.. since this does not seem to be a common issue I know it's something simple... but it is just escaping me...
P.S.. sorry for the poor grammar. I am doing this at work from my phone...
Thanks for the help.
U're absolutely missing .xml file (HTCHomeSetting). Try to use another xml file, m2dc should be working after u put .xml file on windows folder
Is there just one file for all themes or is this a file that should be included with every theme I download??
the reason I ask is a couple of the themes I have tried work just fine.. most though give me the error though..
Some of the themes has no .xml file. Just look at the clock style in the home tab. If it's similar with another themes that u ever used succesfully, simply put the .xml file in windows folder. Good luck
What file are you copying to your device? The file you copy should be some how compressed and contain the xml in the root folder.
Some of the themes I have downloaded seem to be packed into a folder and some of when you unzip it are all the file individual.... (does that make since?)
Either way I put them on my storage card and then point M2DC at the storage card a couple of them seem to work fine and some of them give me the error
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.
