Hi,
sorry for disturbing, I try to use phm registry editor on my diamond, but it didn't install, after some tries I try to install strng version but it didn't work fine. would you please help me
The workaround is to download the appropriate CAB for your device CPU type from the PHM.lu Download Center. If you’re using Windows Mobile 5.0 or 6 (WM5 or WM6), select the Pocket PC 2000,2003 (ARM/PXA) option and download the regedit.Mrln_ARM CAB file. If you have installed the Desktop Installer version, you can grab the CAB file from the installed folder in “Program Files” too. Then copy the regedit.Mrln_ARM.CAB file to the PPC/Windows Mobile device via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center or Windows Explorer, and put the CAB file at anywhere including storage card. Launch File Explorer, and click on the CAB file with stylus, and then follow the instruction on screen to install the FHM Registry Editor. Note that you should answer Yes to security warning, and you can install it on either device itself or on memory card. After installed, sers can access and run PHM Registry Editor from Start -> Programs.

I once again will show my ignorance but what process do I use to install cab files onto my Sprint ppc 6600. I have them downloaded but I am clueless as to what I need to do next. This site has been AWESOME thanks!
Using Activesync, put your Pocket PC into the cradle, when it is done syncing, press the Explore button. Then go to a folder you want the cab to be put, and copy it from your desktop computer and paste it into the Explore window. Then, on your pocket pc, use File Explorer to locate the file, and then select it to have it install.
Can't install
After copying the cab file to Blue Angel and transfer the cab file, I tap on the file to install. All I get tis this message " The file "*.dll" is in use or is in Rom. No matter how I try or reset the device, still I can't get it installed.
is there an app for the alpine that lets you extract cab files from exe.files without using a pc
I think most of the .exe actually contain a Win32 installer, so I believe there is no realy way to extract the CAB from it, apart from running it on the PC.
However, most of the time you can get the CAB on the PC and install it without using ActiveSync. The Installer usually extracts the CAB to C:\Program Files\[Name of Software] or C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\[Name of Software]. Grab it there and store it on your device, then install with CabInstaller for example.
Cheerio !
If you must go hardcore and decompress a cab on your phone, try it with a RAR decompresor. They open on the PC with winrar, but you'll lose file name & structure.

Sometimes the PC .exe file automatically deletes the CAB file from the PC & you won't be able to find it on the PC.
If you have an app that behaves like this, run the .exe on the PC & click on OK/Next until you get to the dialogue that asks you 'Install "AppName" using the default install directory?', just after you see the 'Retrieving Device Data' notification.
Now fire up Windows Explorer on the PC and search your \Program Files\ and \Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\ directories for your software developer's name. The CAB files should be inside this folder.
Note: All you need is the CAB file. If there is more than one, make sure you pick the correct Processor type ie .ARM for Himalaya or Alpine, not SH3 or MIPS. You don't need any .ini files either.
Can someone please answer the most basic of N00B questions ...
1) How do I install .EXE files onto the Tilt
2) How do I install .CAB files onto the Tilt
Specifically, with # 1, I am trying to install KaiserTweak, but it does not run under Windows XP and there is no info on how to get it onto the phone and how to install it (it has an XML too).
Thanks!
copy them over to your kaiser. run them by clicking on them using file explorer
Ummm ... N00bier
Thanks, but HOW?
I have activesync running, and it is doing a bang up job. I cannot figure out how to get the EXE and XML over onto the phone.
Also, how would a CAB work, same way?
OMG!
cab - copy to phone and run through file explorer
exe - run through pc/ or run directly from the device
to copy files over to your PPC...
click the explore button on your activesync app running on your desktop from there you can drag and drop the files anywhere
I drag and drop .cabs to my storage card, I have a cab folder with two folders inside one is device and one is card. It is an easy backup and reminds me of where i installed that particular cab. Now, if you have an .exe or .msi you can run that from your desktop and as long as you are synced the install wizard will install the app to your phone giving you the option to install it on the device or the card.
Now, some applications are meant to be ran from your phone, such as mplayer or Kaiser Tweaks. You copy the file over to your device and click the .exe when you want to run the program.
Hope this helps!
hi guys, im new here and got my diamond just yesterday.. its my first pocket pc, and i need real help..
looked around the forums and found a lot of good stuff..
downloaded a couple of applications like advanced configuration tools, gsen, registery editor, but i dont know how to install them. when i unzip the files on my pc the are in xml format and when i double click on the setup file it opens in notepad..
plz help me, what should i do? how do i install these applications?
Instead of unzipping the .cab files on your pc, you need to copy them to your diamond (using activesync or select 'disk drive' when you plug it in).
Then open file explorer on your diamond, navigate to where you copied the .cab file, and run it - .cab is an installer file for windows mobile applications

Do the following, hehe
When you download most programs they will be in .CAB format. Now all this means is that they can be installed DIRECT from the phone.
What I do is create a folder on my Diamond in Internal Storage called APPS and make sure my Diamond is synced to my pc / laptop using Activesync on XP or Windows Mobile Device centre if on Vista and then copy all the .CABS that i have downloaded into the APPS folder on my phone.
Once im ready to install the applications its very simple.
On your Diamond click on START and then PROGRAMS and locate FILE EXPLORER.
When FILE EXPLORER has loaded up in the top left of the window you will notice a memory card icon with the current directory you mobile is pointing to, push this and you will then see MY DEVICE and the location you are currently at.
If you have used a pc before its very similar to how the pc windows explorer used to navigate, anyway, select MY DEVICE and then choose INTERNAL STORAGE and then APPS.
Then its just a matter of selecting which application you wish to install as all the .CABS will be displayed. Select the one you want to install and follow the installation process.
If there are any small programs 1mb or less then I tend to install these onto my phone storage memory and for games I install them onto INTERNAL STORAGE but its up to you. Some programs require a SOFT RESET to work.
The SOFT RESET button is located where the STYLUS is stored on the phone, pull the STYLUS out and then you will see a RED BUTTON inside.
Push this and your phone will restart.
There is more information here at good ol xda-developers.com and also http://modmydiamond.info
Hope this helps!

I recently got an HTC Touch Diamond and am finding it to be frustratingly slow! Luckily, I found this forum, but I'm having issues getting started with the tweaks.
I've tried installing PHM registry editor, and although there are several posts here that state it should work fine on the diamond I cannot get it to install. With my phone hooked up to my PC and activesync running I install PHM to my PC just fine, but when the activesync install screen pops up, it does not list PHM as a program to install to my phone...thus indicating that it is not a compatible program. I am using the pocket PC version of PHM found here:

What gives?
You could download the cab installer which you can find in the dropdown list on the download page. Select "Pocket PC 2002.2003 (ARM/PXA)" and copy the file to your phone. Then start explorer on your phone. Browse to the installer and execute by clicking on it.
That worked perfectly. Thank you!
Thx, going to use it too
