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. I accidentally deleted a really good picture that I took off of my phone before I dumped my pictures on my hd, but it is still showing as my today screen background image. Where the hell is it on my phone? It's not here: WINDOWS\stBackImage.png, as on older versions.... please help.

doesnt help
ok i have been searching all over for an answer for you and here is what i found at least on my phone. I installed mun background changer today so i dont know if you have that as well but you can try and see if things are the same. Using total commander go to windows directory then HomeBackground.img try that see if you have that file. If you do copy it and save it on your computer than access it because i cant access it from the phone. Here is what i did copied the file from the windows directory into my memory card using the phone then accessed the memory card from my computer renamed the file to .jpg because my computer could not open .img and it worked.
EDIT: yup that is it. I went ahead and installed mun background changer and everything softreseted uploaded a picture as my wall paper so i can recreate the same scenario you have and the file is located:
Windows/HomeBackground.img
ill try this and see if it works... thanks for your help
Tada.... it worked...
The file is right in the Windows directory.
Thanks so much.
You are the man, or woman, whichever.
Hi,
I am new to the forum and am feeling very computer iliterate at the moment ...
Would someone please be so kind and explain in simple terms how to install .cab files / programs on the HD2
I have been trying to install the TCPMP media player (was going to link it, but as new user am not allowed)
This is what i have done so far,
downloaded the file
unzipped into a file on my SD card in the HD2, trying to execute the "set up" file.
the only executable file is the setup.xml and it opens a web browser but thats it.
Am I missing something i need to install first to make this work?
Any help is greatly appreciated. World Cup is starting soon and I would love to install the WoldCup app as well
Thanks,

I think you unzipped the actual cab file . Just copy what you downloaded to your phone then run it.
ah yes, feeling pretty blond right now .......
thanks though
I am trying to figure out how to install reader's hub ( i have asked several questions, but I can't get anyone to help me). I have a US Sprint Tab. Each time I try to download the files, they download unsucessfully, and give me the error message "content not supported". This seems to only be true for rar files, as I have downloaded the readers hub zip file just fine. I currently have apk installer, Explorer, and Andro zip installed. Can someone please help me???
Hi,
As far as im aware even though androzip supports the rar files, it does not associate itself with the samsung tab explorers launcher for that file type.
If you extract this in the androzip itself and then browse to the contents you extracted that should work that way.
Wish you luck, let us know how you get on

Thanks for your reply. I would love to try thatm, but the tab wont even let me download the file. The thing is, I already have the files I need to get the readers hub, but I can't get it to install. Well, I can install the press Display and the Kobo, but the readers hub wont install. And although the Press Display and Kobo say they are installed, I don't see them anywhere on my tab.
Ahh OK, sorry to have misread the problem ...Have you access to a PC? as you could download and send. ...if not link me up ill download and make it a zip for you (my racing team dr-ukr has a server i can upload to for storage).
Alternatively try another browser, i've not yet tried the others but mayb it's jsut the Samsung modded browser that cannot support the download?
Ill post back if i get to test that first in Dolphin HD/Opera/Fennec beta etc..

Do I have to root my tab in order to install readers hub? Now I'm reading the rooting app has been removed, so rooting may not be possible.
Sorry i do not know about rooting, i am still on stock firmware and not wanting to blow my warranty yet. (allthough it will happen in the end) ... i have my nokia n900 for all the playing about for now (i'm confident with it and the tab is my first android).
Wish you luck and pretty sure the others here will help out

I was having the same problem. I tried opera browser and it let me download the files. The stock browser is junk.
Go to market and download "Download all Files", works perfect on GT.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
so i have an hd2. it hasn't been working properly for a few days. lots of freezing. i heard that i can ditch windows and install android. well when i followed the steps to install the files, they always download onto the computer as adobe files. no matter where i downloaded from it did the same thing. can someone help me? i need my phone!
??? thats just wierd.
WHat i expect is probably happening is that your downloads are just fine (mainly zip or 7zip files) but that your file association on your computer is a little screwed up??
You should change the association and i reckon that will sort your problem out
Let me know how you get on.
