Simple instructions for getting POINTUI installed on XDA11i

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simple instructions for installing the POINTUI program onto my XDA11i .
Thank you.

The recommended way is to install the WM5 cab and then copy the files for the WM2003 version over the WM ones installed on Program files pointui home 1.02b, that way you get registry entries and things are in their correct places.

Thanks for the reply BUT I am a complete novice in these matters - as such I have NO IDEA what you just said
Thanks anyway though !!

I got to this stage but not sure what to do ..
http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx

OK I am useless at all this technical stuff .
All the other programs I managed to get on my XDA11i were simple to install .
I downloaded a file anf clicked to run then they loaded automatically onto my XDA.
IS there a similar method for the POINTUI program .... PLEEEEEEASE

Sadly not for WM2003 but you are nearly there, I put a step by step on the other link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374360&page=2 persevere it is worth it. You only need to copy some files over the ones installed by the cab file

Hope this tutorial could help you
1. Download CAB Installer from Pointui website then copy the file to your PDA
2. Click the file on your PDA to install it
3. Download this file http://www.pointui.com/files/tests/1...me.ppc2003.zip
4. Double click that zip file and extract to \Program Files\PointUI\Home\1.02b\ ( It's at your PDA directory )
5. It will ask to overwrite and just answer Yes.
6. Click on file name Home to run the application.
To make it run automatically when you soft reset the device you need to create shortcut to Startup folder
1. Copy filename Home and paste shortcut to \Windows\Startup\ ( PDA Directory )
2. Done
p/s: Its based on robsno step. Thanks

Thanks very much for your time and effort .
Sadly I will have to wait a whil longer as I am not technical enough to follow your insructions.

As I mentioned previously - All the other programs I managed to get on my XDA11i were simple to install .
I downloaded a file and clicked to run then they loaded automatically onto my XDA.
IS there a similar method for the POINTUI program YET ??

Guess not !!??

Can you help me with SASHIMI?

Hi all, can anyone help me with the software name SASHIMI?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392983
I didn't want to ask in there, because most of my questions are pretty basic and sound dump to others
Anyway, as I understand from the video tutorial (which is still confusing for me), All I have to do is add all the CAB file I want the software to install in the "CAB" folder and all the registries in the REG folder. Then I have to create a filebackup.ini to tell the soft what I've backup.
- My question for this is how do I know which registry to backup and where they are. Let's say I have an APP1.cab to install and that APP1.cab need to be register... where do I find APP1 registration information?
Once the registries are found, all I have to do is to add the CAB in the CAB folder and its registries in the REG folder, right? Then when come to restore, I have to restore each CAB and each Reg or it will do by itself due to my filebackup.ini?

Try posting to benghali's sashimi thread. He's a great help and quick with answering your questions.
Don't feel bad, I was confused too and finally decided not to even install it.

Responding here because OP sent me a PM.
In the future please post in the thread because all questions will be answered and it is ALWAYS better to post in the original thread then to start a new one.
The questions you are asking have actually been asked at least 3 or 4 times already and are in that thread.
In addition, your questions about where to put the .REG file are covered in the documentation.
Because I'm in a good mood, I will quickly answer here.
1) I can't tell you where the registry entries are stored for your program...that is different for each program. Use a registry export and compare before and after.
2) Once you have the .reg file with your entries you can either put it in the \REG folder or you can name it the same as the .CAB and put it with the .CAB file. This is called Tandem/Bundling and is covered more in the documenation.
Please post additional questions in the main thread.
Mods can lock this one.
thanks

thank you... please lock this post

REG files
Hi All,
I hope nobody shoots me for asking and tells me to do a search. I'm a bit in a hurry right now, so i'm just typing quickly.
How can I create or obtain the REG files for the different applications I install?
Resco Explorer, iSilo, pocket player, pocket artist, SPB Plus, SPB backup, SPB wallet, etc. I want to place the REG files in sashimi so that they automatically get registered and so that I don't have to manually apply the serial numbers. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance, if no one wants to sit here and give step by step instructions i will understand, but atleast a link to the correct thread would be helpfull.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I have no idea how to use sashimi to install and register my applications. Well I do know, I just don't know how to get working REG files. Do I have to create them? or do I get them from some directory. I've seen most of the videos already.
If there is another forum with info, please direct me to the right thread, I tried doing a search and besides this thread I didn't find anything.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, confused you for the OP.

I understand, No Problem. I'll edit my post so no one else has to read the small missunderstanding.
I would still appreciate some help with the REG files. How can I get them or create them so that sashimi can apply the serial numbers after installing my applications?

Not sure how to install Glass Flo 3d?

I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460924
and really dig this theme, but am pretty new and have no Idea how to install it on my phone. can anyone help

i think you will just need to unzip the files in to the windows directory and then soft reset

the manila's too?

some needs to make this a theme or cab

OR you could just copy the files in the windows directory like 80% of the tf3d themes out there. Do you realize what it takes to make a .tsk or a .cab

@kd8dns..i was just trying to make it easier for those who dont know how to copy the files in the windows directory..your right i dont know what it takes to make a cab but i also wasnt asking you to make it..im sure their are some people who dont mind making a cab for it and helping some of these people who dont know how to copy the files..so sorry if i offended you

yes. you have to over write the old manila files

So, I don't know if I did this right. but it sorta worked I just think I'm missing stuff. I placed the glassflo.zip file in a file I made on my data card called theme. then I renamed the glassflo.zip file to glassflo.theme , then I went into touchflo 3d config set the path and installed. seems to be working, but my question now is what do I do with the rest of the manila files that were the second download from the link I posted above. You see, I unzipped them to the windows folder, which I think was a mistake. but I'm not sure. this is where I get lost. I'm sure they do something or why would they be there right. Thanks for any help. I really appreciate those of you with more experience with this stuff, taking the time to help us newbies out. also will this work better in the windows file instead of my sd card?

Rather than opening up a thread, it would've just been better to post in that thread for more exposure.

HTC TYTN ii

Hi,
Ive just recently got this phone from my brother, and i am adding videos etc to it successfully.
I want a good alarm tone. I have converted an MP3. file to .wav . I then added it into the windows folder. I click the main clock, click the little bell, and open the drop down list for alarm tone.
As soon as i click the tone i added to the phone, it automatically switches back to the default tone.
How do i get my normal tone, because the other ones just wont wake me up.
cheers

Have attached GAlarm it's not the newest version as it's now a pay for app, but it's far more reliable than the Windows Alarm and also very easy to set up.

Hi thanks. How do i install this?
Sorry, kinda new to things like this. I havnt bought the phone off my brother yet, so dont want to mess anything up by installing it wrong.
Help is appreciated

Unzip it on computer you will find a .cab place onto phone via async or cardreader, then with File Explorer on phone find the .cab click on it, install to device memory, in start menu will be GAlarm click it, it will promp restart, restart phone.
Now you can set up alarm

Thanks
I unzipped it to pc. opened the file, and there is another zip folder. Do i just unzip that again, drag the 1 cab file across through async, and it will install?

EDIT: Sorry for repost.
There isnt a .cab file in there when i have extracted the 2nd zip.
There is just a load of windows files ending in .152 etc
Also an xml file. Is this what you mean?

The second file is a .cab it's just that it's a compressed file so shows up as same looking, the file you extracted from original .zip do not unzip it place on phone and follow above directions

Yes yes im very stupid. I just saw it as another zip file. Looked at windows bar @ bottom and it said GAlarm.cab i was like...... .cab .
Installing it now. Shall tell you if it works Thanks
Update: Going through installation process now. Said it may not function properly due to it being made for a previous version of windows mobile. Carried on anyway. Loaded up app and forced restart. Booted it up and got another error. Booted it up for 3rd time and created my first alarm .
P.S Is there anyway of getting just my alarm on the main screen, without the added buttons? (Contacts, ringtones) etc.

Sorry for spam.
All done and added.
All i can say is thank you very much. Youve been a great help to me and im sure to come back when ive bought the phone, and feel more confident with installing new programs.
thanks

[Q] help please from all you kind members

help please wanted before i pull all my hair out' bite all my nails off and become the man to launch a xda ll off of beachy head.......grrrrrrrrrrrr.
my problem is, i have windows mobile 6.1.6965 and running widows 7.
everything hooks up ok, i can see whats on my mobile, but when i download ext,rom unlock and unhide, plus hima_doc plus pnewboot, which are zipped folders, i tried to unzip them through winraa and its always asking for the next file to carry on to a full unzip, ive tried for hoursssssssssss with no luck.
all im trying to do is unhide my extra space format it and install a new operating system.
also when i try to extract any zip file to my xda, a screen opens to ask where i want to drop them to, but i cant see my pda in this screen, i was wondering was this the fault of windows 7.
im realy new to this so a walkthrough with step by step upgrade instructions would be great ie do i need to leave my sim card in and unlock ext_rom and installing a operating system.
i know this takes time to explain this, but this is a excellent forum and i hope there is a kind member out there that would do this.
many thanks in advance

you want to install another operating system next to win mo 6.5?
You can't do that.
when you do the himadoc tool you only get about 10mb more space for apps/
