I am ignorant when it comes to tech.
I have a Tilt and i'm trying to install HTC home plug in on it. I download it and then put it on the tilt. I then try to install once its on the phone and i go to file explorer and look it up. I then click on the icons and nothing happens. I click on the setup xml file and it freezes up.
Is there anybody who can help me, i'm really wanting to put this on my phone.

Looks like you've extracted the CAB file.
You just have to copy the CAB file to your device and click it to install.
I tried again later by copying every file from what i downloaded for the plug in to on my computer and none of the programs wanted to install. I had no problem installing kaiser tweaks but this is just really irritating me. I know this may be a noob question but does the cab file look like?
no i dont think you quite understand there buddy. The file you downloaded that looks like a .zip file is actually a cab what you need to do is transfer the whole "zip" file over to your phone and open it in file explorer
It doesn't download as a zip, it downloads on to my computer as a bunch of seperate files. I put it into a zip file and then put it on my tilt. I'm sorry if i seem like i'm stupid, i'm just trying figure out how to do this. I downloaded from
http://www.pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=4618
is this a bad site to download from. If so please tell me of some other one.
just put that file into ur phone nd set it up thats it. dont zip or unzip it. you can tell if its a cab file if it has all these different files in there. or if it has ".cab" at the end of it (no quotes). the ".cab" file will look exactly like a zip file (it will have the same icon).
Thanks for the help!!!! Much appreciated

Hi Guys.
I'm sorry if this is a covered issue but I have honestly tried to search here and google but I cant seem to over come the problem I have installing opera.
I have downloaded opera (http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/products/)
Both .CAB and .MSi versions but when I come to install, I hit a wall.
.CAB
When I open the folder on my desktop, inside i get an XML file and a whole load of numbered files like .000 FILE, .001 FILE etc and I dont know what to do to install it. I've tried putting all these onto memory card and runing from there but there isn't any .exe to run.
.MSI
Windows vista runs the .MSI and it seems like its installing to the PC and not the TYTN. I dont get it.
Please can you help.
With the .cab part of it...all of those files you are seeing are actually the files inside the cab so you need to back up to the folder containing the .cab and you will see a little blue cabinet just drag that into your tilt directory and run it from there.
Hi thanks for the quick reply!
I can't see a Little blue cabinet file anywhere. When I download from opera website. The downloaded file is a Yellow Folder called 'opera_wm5_sp_865' with all these files inside and no blue cabinet.
Move the .cab file to your phone, use the File Explorer and click it.
Also, the MSI will install it to your phone. Did you ever try going through the entire install process?
once you do get that version of opera uninstalled try the one in my 4shared folder (link in my sig). Its modified build by gsleon3 and it is uninstallable
Oh well it might not be little and blue for you...
When I download stuff I try to download it to a folder where I store all my Kaiser stuff on my desktop so the blue .cab file(blue for me at least) is right there so it is easy to find.
Hi,
Been problem solving this issue all day today and now I've finally realised where i've gone wrong! I've managed to finally install it and it was such a small error on my part.
basically, when i downloaded the .cab file from opera website. The icon of the file was a winzip icon becuase winzip was assigned to open .cab's and i was extracting it without realising it was a .cab file. I just assumed that i was supposed to extract the winzip first. lol.
Well, have all sorted it now and I hope this helps someone who gets stuck like me....
Thanks guys!
Also gonna uninstall winzip now!
I had that problem with WinRar for awhile but I just told it to not touch .cabs
Good thing its all fixed. have fun
Hello,
I just bought the new HTC Touch Diamond today from Telus Mobility (My Provider) and when I put on a program to install and try to open the .cab file in the File Explorer, it tries to open it in Opera Mobile and I cannot install the program.
I am using ActiveSync to transfer the files from my computer to the Internal Storage area of my phone, then I find the files using the File Explorer on the phone, click the .cab file and it tries to open it in Opera Mobile.
Anyone have any ideas?
P.S. I just tried a Soft Reset, and that didn't help.
Thanks in advance!!
Try to manually rename the files to "whatever.CAB." Add .cab to it and see if that'll get it working.
Hmm..
Okay, I tried that and it didn't work.
I am trying to install a program and the files it has is:
_setup - XML Document (I click on that to activate install?)
ADVANC~1.000
ADVANC~1
ADVANC~1.003
ADVANC~1.004
ADVANC~2.002
Hope this helps..
(Yes, I realize it's not a cab file >.< )
After reviewing the situation over. You are NOT supposed to extract the files, then put them on your phone. Leave them in the archive (.cab file), upload to your phone and then execute it.
It should start installing right away.
Hope this helps for anyone else!!
I've had my at&t tilt for almost a year now and I've been using the default theme.
Today I saw some TouchFlo themes and they look so sweet and I've been trying to get it on my phone all day.
First off, I completely suck at any programming so this is probably why I need help
I downloaded the file and extracted it to my phone, now I don't exactly know how to install it on my phone. There's a setup that when i click on it, it shows a bunch of code things for example: - <wap-provisioningdoc> - <characteristic type="Install"> are the first two lines and they go on for so long.
I don't know if i need to put any other software on my phone that will read that setup differently, or I'm suppose to do something else?
Please help, and thank you for your time.
Pictures is what I have, and what I'm trying to get:
Bump ^
do you have TouchFlo Manilla 2D installed on your device ?????????
If not you need it to run the manilla themes you have pictured.
before you ask where to find it..................the answer is use SEARCH.
Or just look at the sticky at the top of this forum
I downloaded it from this link:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mkxonf7smhx
first I put it on my computer, then hooked up my phone to my computer and copied it to it. Not sure if it's supposed to go somewhere specific, I just put it under my documents.
here's a picture of what the folder looks like if it's correct
So basically from what I've been reading is how do I actually Install it on my phone, I copied the downloaded .zip onto my phone which contains a Setup, but that Setup seems to be doing nothing. I think I'm missing something else needed to install it.
by any chance is it a ".cab" format?
if so, DO NOT open with winzip.
just copy to phone and click it to install.
EDIT: yeah it a .cab
hmm, I used winRAR to extract the files i downloaded onto my computer first, then I copied them over to my phone.
Should I not extract it at all and just put it straight to my phone? and also, I've been reading a lot about .cab files, and nothing is saying it's .cab...lol i'm just completely lost
oh lawlz, i think i figured it out.
Ya i was extracting it before,
this time i copied the file directly
to my phone and i can install it
I have a HTC fuze from att and I m trying to install application that have a .cab ext but no respond when I unzip and copy it to my phone. It direct me to the opera website. What shall I do?
I just bought an att HTC and I want to change the today screen and batter meter to %. Everytime i download a .cab file. i tried both zipping it and putting it on the phone and leaving it unzipped and putting it on the phone but everytime i file search for the .cab file it doesnt even show up on my device. How can i do this? thanks for the help!!!!
thanks
.cab installation...
If the cab is zipped (ie. it has .zip / .rar extension), unzip it on your desktop. If you're not sure if the file is actually a .cab file, right click and select 'Properties' - you can then see the actual extension and file type.
Copy the .cab to your device. Place it somewhere obvious, so you can find it easily (ie. the root of Internal Storage). Then on your device, locate the file and tap on it to install it. If it doesn't install this way, it's either not a .cab, or it's not designed for your device
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
