If this has been posted before - Sorry.
ThemesTool.DLL previews the main image of a theme file (*.tsk) from windows explorer without having a need to install theme applications.
Copy to /Windows/System32 folder.
Register the file using regsvr32.exe - C:\>regsvr32.exe themestool.dll (edit : from C:\ to C:\> for the sake of the elite)
Change the folder view to thumbnails.
Voila.
Cool, nice feature
command line you mentionned is not quite right though.
should it be just:
regsvr32.exe themestool.dll

I believe that's what I wrote.
Unless of course you find I'm too basic for you.
"Mentionned" is not quite right either.

sorry about my bad english
Don't be so agressive, I am not elite and do not think you are basic; I appreciated your contribution and wanted to help.
On my computer regsvr32.exe is not in c:\ but in c:\windows\system32
so typing as you mentioned "C:\regsvr32.exe themestool.dll" or "C:\>regsvr32.exe themestool.dll" does not work.
I would have to type "C:\windows\system32\regsvr32.exe themestool.dll" or just "regsvr32.exe themestool.dll" as I suggested in my last post.
PS: If you open a DOS window and type "regsvr32.exe themestool.dll" in front of the "C:\>" I realize it will look like "C:\>regsvr32.exe themestool.dll" but that's another story :roll:
Thanks for the clarification. My command line knowledge is terrible and it did not work the first time for me either. C:\windows\system32\regsvr32.exe themestool.dll worked for me. Thanks!
Hello everyone im a noob here but im slowley learning. i have searched and searched including the ABD for dummies they all make mention of ABD for mac but then move right along into windows how tos. im sorry if this is the wrong place for this post but can anyone point me to a place that actually explains ABD usage for mac i know nothing about terminal and i think thats what it want me to use. i really mean it ive been looking for a good mac tuterial for days!!!!!! thanks
You mean adb, right?
The commands for adb are pretty much the same ones used on windows
Not development...post in general.
Anyways,
do you have the sdk set up as per these instructions? You dont need to worry about the eclipse stuff. The most important thing is getting the sdk downloaded, extracted and the /tools dir added to your path. From there, the command are exactly the same. eg:
Code:
adb push
adb pull
adb shell
adb shell reboot recovery
...

to use ADB and FASTBOOT you need to mount your SDK foldert (you "need" tools folder) and then use all commands starting with ./
for example ./fastboot reboot
PS if you want to use fastboot, you have to download it separate from HTC site.

You dont have to mount the folder. It may be easier but in the long run adding it to path will teach you more. Just do a google search on edit path osx and you will find how to create or edit the bash_profile to add the tols folder to your path. from there you just open terminal and adb away

There is no need in this. Everyone can find all information on GOOGLE. It is easer then "Easy Button"
MAC+ANDROID=FRIENDS FOREVER!
Setting up ABD for OSX, Hackintosh, mac newbies like myself.
First make sure you have downloaded the latest SDK from google.
In finder go to your home folder and extract the sdk into a folder named Android.
If you only plan on using ADB you can just extract the tools folder contents there.
Now open up Terminal...Applications/system utilities
Type in the following
echo $shell
ls -a
If you see a file named .bash_profile in the list you are ok if not we have a few things to do.
To create a .bash_profile, in terminal do the following
touch .bash_profile
This will create a blank file if there is none. Then,
open -e .bash_profile
This will open it in TextEdit. Add the following line:
export PATH=${PATH}:*<your_sdk_dir>*/tools
Where <your_sdk_dir> is the full path to the android sdk folder (type
carefully, remove < > brackets).
For example, if the android folder is in the eclipse folder on your Desktop,
it would be:
export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/David/Desktop/eclipse/
android-sdk-mac_x86-1.0_r1/tools
Save and quit.
then all you have to do from there is adb away.
If you need more info please follow this link where I copied the info from.

If my words offended you, i apologize for that. I thought it was just unfair, when i was searching for INFO, i was sent to google and thats why i did the same thing.
Let's respect each other.

Hello all!!
I would be very gratefully if you could help me, because I don't know what more to do...
Now, I have access to the root of my HTC Hero, and I have the emulator working well, but what I wanted to do was searching for a text in all the files, so I thought to use the find command:
find . -type f | xargs grep “cadena a buscar"
but when I tried the command I have obtained the result:
find command not found, and it's true, because in the /system/bin directory, so, now, I don't know what to do in order to find a text in all files....
Thanks a lot if you can give me some help!!
THANKS,
Maria
I added a DONATE button... my HTC Magic device was stolen.. i need a new one for testing...
Once i have enough for it i will remove the donate button :0)
Now with Mac support :0)
The idea is basic... start the application and drag & drop all your .apk files and they will get installed on your device.
It will accept multiple files, multiple folders or a combination... the app. will automatically pick up any file with the extension .apk or .APK... so just simply drag&drop.
Or you can just double click on any .apk file and the app. will install it for you without the graphical part starting up.
You can follow the progress on the app. and/or find a log.txt inside the folder "Logs". Just make sure to extract the application to a folder where you have write permission or there will be no log files!!!!
A log will be made regardless of the graphical part starting up or not.
Do not forget to give it time to install or the log will be incomplete.
If you want the "-r" flag set then check the comboBox named doReInstall.
The flag "-r" will basically install the app even if it is already installed, but will not disturb the app's settings.
See the adb doc for more info.
DO NOT TOUCH THE "Tools" AND "Logs" FOLDERS....
NOR SHOULD YOU MOVE/TOUCH THE ".bat" OR ".sh" FILES (unless you KNOW what you are doing).
Windows:
Double click on the "AppInstaller.jar" file or on the "WindowsRunMe.bat" to start the graphical app.
If you want the .apk double-click feature do the following:
1)Right-click on any .apk file and choose "properties".
2)Under "Opens with" row choose "change".
3)Navigate to where the "WindowsRunMe.bat" is located and select it.
4)Choose "ok" then "Apply".
5)Enjoy :0)
Remember that the log files will still be under the "Logs" folder.
You want the reInstall-feature when you use the double clicks? Then right-click on the .bat file and choose "edit".
Change "DOREINSTALL=false" to "DOREINSTALL=true". Save!
That's it :0)
Linux(Ubuntu running gnome desktop/nautilus) :
DO NOT START THE APP WITH DOUBLE CLICK...IT WILL NOT LOAD CORRECTLY.
ALWAYS USE "LinuxRunMe.sh" SCRIPT.
REMEMBER TO GIVE THE SCRIPT EXECUTE PERMISSION :0)
If you want the .apk double-click feature do the following:
1)Right-click on any .apk file and choose "properties".
2)Under the "Open with" tab choose "add".
3)Choose "use custom command" and navigate to where the "LinuxRunMe.sh" file is located and select it.
4)Make sure that the .sh file is highlighted under the "Open with" tab.
5)Enjoy :0)
Remember that the log files will still be under the "Logs" folder.
You want the reInstall-feature when you use the double clicks? Then double-click on the .sh file and choose "Display".
Change "DOREINSTALL=false" to "DOREINSTALL=true". Save!
That's it :0)
MAC:
I have no idea, but i bet that the linux way should work :0)
Can somebody confirm?
Hope that you will like the work.
Don't forget to say thanks :0)
Also check my signature for more tools
Mac users!
I have no mac... so i can not test the app...
Please feel free to confirm it's working :0)
The app is in java, so it should run on all platforms :0)
ALL FEEDBACK ARE WELCOMED...
If you get/find any bugs, post the log file here or send it to me in a PM.
Then i can debug it :0)
I tested it on both linux and windows(xp + 7). It was working fine.
The adb binary are inside the Tools folder... So there is no need to set the system-path thingy..
Just to make it easier for people :0)
Again.. DO NOT TOUCH THEM NOR THE SCRIPTS.
There are much better Solutions for Windows like DroidExplorer and AndroidCommander. Dont know if they are aviable for Linux/Max.
Anyway thanks for your work =)
wow, thank you mumi.. I am truly and deeply touched..
thank you, for all your devotion and hard work. and for putting up with me and my requests.

Did not know about them..
But this is a single purpose solution... INSTALL OF APK(s).
The other tools are way to cluttered and advanced...
This is simple and fast....
I like it :0)
But thx for the info... i can surly use them for more advance stuff :0)

Wicked stuff. Good job!
I can now integrate mac-support in next version because i found a test person...
The question is, is there anybody interested in mac-support?
nice work mumilover
will try later
yaaah.... 100 downloads :0)
Glad that people make use of it :0)
nice one mumilover! i had an error with the adb binary that came with your archive. replaced it with the current adb binary for OS X and the apk installed properly. great job!
Yes sorry... totally forgot that mac used a different adb then linux...
You can pm me your email if you want to me my mac tester :0)
excellent and thank you !
All you need is this batch file: (should work with all windows pc even 64-bit)
http://www.mediafire.com/?kce3i3249sbdtf1
it can also work with ADB over wifi with addition of:
Code:
adb connect [B]ip[/B]:[B]port[/B]
at the beginning the file.
sorry but I didn't feel like making a whole new thread just for 6 lines of post.
Well thanks for your effort...
The app does much than you batch file does.
It takes multiple files + multiple folders and the mix.
It will automatically pick up any apk file and install it.
Just read the first page again :0)

Yeah I know what your app does but I didn't feel like making a whole new thread just for double-clicking APKs, I know your app does it in your own way.
Perhaps you could also incorporate it in your app so that people can also install by double-click in addition to batch installation with your app
Well... read the first page again..
I already have double click option.... even with the -r option!
Read carefully please :0)

wow, that was refreshing. Anything new developing with this Tool? Before unleash the beast?
Well it did not make sense to work with it any more...
I found out that you can install apk using htc sync...
Plus i only have > 120 downloads... not worth spending more time on it...
But still no one reported any bugs :0)

WE need more information. Where does it fail? Error message? Does your tab show up in device manager?
sorry mate i didnt know what would be helpful and what wouldnt, but it shows up in my device manager but i dont think ive set up adb and fastboot up properly, when i type C:\Users\Rob>fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot in the cmd window it says fast boot is not recognized as an internal or external command,
what files do i need need to have and where should they go,
ive got a folder called adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219 with the sdk stuff in it but im not sure what to do with it lol
Quick, easy way is to use the cd command to move to the directory where fast boot is saved. Then use the command you tried first.
ahh yeah i think i remember doing that before what folder am i looking for?
edit: i got it going now i found the folder i need so im all good now thanks guys
You'll need to look through the sdk files until you find the fastboot file. That's the folder you need. I don't have my laptop with me so I can't give you the specific folder name.
it was called platform tools i just found it and i moved it to the root of c drive and renamed it android and all is great now
