Hi everyone, before I start please don't laugh as I require some real basic help?
I have never owned a pocket PC before and for some reason I thought it would be a good idea which it was but I find the diamond a little slow, so I went on Here to see what you pros make of it, and I was amazed to find people had tweaked it with the advanced config, now this is where it gets silly...
I need help really like step by step what to do to install this, if someone could help I would really appriciate it, thanks again, I know you guys are to advanced for this stuff but would really appriciate the help, cheers again!
Are you asking how to install a .cab? simply copy it to your phone and run it from there. These things, and probably all other questions you might have is covered in many threads. Seraching for stuff is a good way to learn, and helps keeping the forum tidy, but beware and use the "search" and not just "search this thread". Welcome to the forum and may it enlighten you in the same ways it did for me

Download the file, advanced config...connect phone to pc and make sure its synched. Take the advanced config file and copy it over to your phones internal memory. Disconnect your phone...open up file explorer and navigate to where you have copied the file....click on the file ie advanced config and it will install onto your phone...install in the device memory when it asks. Once its done installing, your ready to go. Just go to programs and open up advanced config and make the changes you want.
Remember to soft reset the device after every change you make...or else it wont take effect.
here you go!
good luck!

That could be a pretty nice site if it were more wiki-styled.
thanks guys, you guys are stars, I think this phone is a bit to advanced for me !
I have tried instlling the Advanced Config, but it doesn't show up on my Diamond. This is what I did:
Downloaded the .cab file, transferred it to the Diamond in the device root.
Disconnected, clicked the .cab file. It seems to install, I even get the confirmation message that it was installed on the device. And then it's gone, can't find the program anywhere.....
Where did I go wrong????
Maybe its inside Start > Settings..
Check it there..
Regards,
Carty..
Thanks, but it is nowhere to be found. Nothing in Start > settings, nothing in Start > programs. Am I supposed to install both .cab and .zip files? I've now tried installing it on both my wife's and my own Diamond, with the same (missing) result on both devices. And I just can't figure out what the h*** I'm doing wrong! I've tried downloading with both IE7 and Firefox 3.0....
My ROM version is: 1.37.409.3 NOR

I'm just starting to get into the depths of my PDA2K and this site is GREAT!!!!!!! Since I'm just one step up from "The Village Idiot", I have a couple questions for all you pros.
After reading about using the extended ROM, and unlocking it and seeing what's in there, I think I've figured it out. Whatever CABs are listed in the config file will be installed upon a hard reset....correct? If true, and since I have only 3.5MB left in Ex ROM, can I put the other CABs I wanted installed in say /storage/CABs, list them in the config file and upon a hard reset they will be installed? Is there any reason to put them into Extended ROM rather than Storage? Is it alright to put CABs in from like games, Resco Explorer, WebIS Mail, etc.? Lastly is there a way to set the programs up where I don't have to go back and enter all the registration numbers again?
Thanks a ton for your help!!!

In extended rom they are not taking up your precious storage space on the device.

is it possible then to keep the installation cabs on storage card,
and also, can that path be set in the config file in ext rom?
what happens if a particular cab is not found after hard reset?
is the installation stuck or it just gives a warning and keeps on going to the next cab listed in the list.
Have a read of this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=83119#83119
It might be a bit to deep but should help you along the way.
1) You can keep a cab anywere you want
2) make sure your cab is read only as it can delete itsself after install.
3) to run a auto install from a differnet storage place you need to hack the reg (see thread).
In all if you have a sd card you could leave your EXt rom empty.
Hack the reg to the new postion and run the Autorun from there.
Have fun
Thanks for all the infor everyone! From what I've read in other threads I need to make sure that TPdisabled is set to off so that when programs like WebIS Mail and SplashID get installed I can touch the screen to make sure they install into the right place and other things. Correct? If this is correct, should I just remove TPdisabled all together?
Thanks again,
Tom
TPdisabled can't be set off, its either run or not run. So dump it and you wont have a problem
MDAIIIUser - Thanks for the link! I looked at it and you're right, it's pretty indepth and I'll have to read it more closely at a later time....like at work.
Question1: leochan2005 had a follow-up saying "why not use backup"? While I agree this would be easier, I'm assuming that by using your method one would get a much "cleaner" install than backing up all the crap that was on the system prior to the hard reset...correct?
Question2: It took me a long time to get my TMo settings setup on my PDA2K and I don't want to go thru that again. Is there a way to backup those settings so that they can be auto-configured at a later time? I read about making a personalsettings.CAB but haven't done it yet.
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks! I take it it should be at the beginning of the config file so that I can access it. Correct?
q1)
Well the short of "why not use backup" is you can if you feel that:
1) Restoring Regedit values from a lower rom version
2) Restoring system applications form a lower rom version such as BT
are called for, wanted or even needed.
I fail to see that point as a upgrade is an upgrade and a backup is a backup. Now you could do a restore of your system data also (which you could also sync and that would be clean
Q2)
Most fo those settings are part of T-mobile.cabs found in Extrom, the rest would have been reg entries that you are going to have to hunt for and copy.
So sorry no way around reading the other thread (personalsettings.CAB)
MDAIIIUser - Maybe I should state what I'm trying to accomplish and you could give me a clue as to how to do it. A couple days ago I upgraded by BT on my PDA2K (generic from Expansys) to 1.0.0.3900 (or what ever the latest is) and I'm currently looking at upgrading my radio to 1.12, but that would require a hard reset. I'm not in the mood to go thru all the program installs and SMS/MMS tweaking again, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to get all my programs and configurations back after the hard reset. I thought by incorporating the personalsettings.cab (for my Tmo settings) and your method I would be up and running pretty quickly. Yes? I have Sprite Backup, but I'm not sure if that's going to overwrite anything after the radio upgrade????
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Well my logic (that could be wrong) would say that a restore of your backup would get you to were you are now.
That you would need a restore as you have to do a hard reset after the 1.12 radion install.
But I can't answer the question will the radio be restored as well,
I don't know, I don't know the settings in the backup application, so am sorry I will have to let somebody else answer this one.
I tried to install dutythroy_black-3g-comm-manager_.cab.fixed and I install it to the SC card. However when I tried to remove that software the Kaiser said that it was no able to remove it and do you want that it been removed from programs list...
Now my comm manager is corrupted and it shows only one choice in the upper left corner.
I already tried to run restorecom.reg but it didn't help. Any way to run original comm manager cab installation or do something else which helps me...
Also... I tried some other Latest cabs like task manager & windows live and both of these says that it hase been mentioned older windows mobile device?? Is this only warning not to be worried or did I something wrong?
Gotta raise this because I have a problem...
Plz... anybody could help me?
Anybody could make a copy what are original registry settings of Comm Manager... if that would help...
PeeHoo, why would you install a core function like the Comm Manager to the SD Card? That's asking for problems like you now have. Do a hard reset and try again.
Thx for wise answer!!
I did so!! But after I uninstall this dutythrow 3g comm manager. if you read my question more carefully you can read what I wrote... However there was mistake of written english (SC was mentioned SD) and word install should be I installed....
This hard reset answer is really nice... anybody really can help? I do know that HR help but I am trying to avoid that...
Unless you can write a cab, or bribe someone into doing, to reinstall the original skin, which I'm sure you copied before replacing right?, you're screwed.
This is where SPB Back up really helps!
You may not like the answers you get, but most of the people here won't lead you astray. Easiest way is to HR. You can try backing up now with SPB & then hard reset. The customazation cabs should replace & stick.
Hello all. Just got my phone on Orange and I like it. I have been a Mac-user for the past 12 years so I am used to not tweaking my gadgets. Can someone explain how I install the CABs onto my Kaiser via either my G5 iMac or my intel Macbook. Many thanks
do'h not very sure, but you might want to try the missing sync, grab the latest version, it now supports win5 and 6. basically that's what you need to synch your mac and PDA, but not very sure if you can install 'em through it though
Now how do I find the installed CAB
OK I have downloaded a CAB onto the Kaiser via Missing Sync. (HTC album mui 0419.cab) So how do I now find it on the phone and activate it or any other CAB?
Thanks again
not that hard
I get that you're new, I am too, but try to figure this stuff out by yourself.
Bluetooth should work for getting files onto the phone (my docs/bluetooth)
When you sync to the phone, the PC version is that you see the phone on the schema/folder tree and can choose where to put it.
When you find the cab file, opening it will install it. Generally try to put system specific things on main memory and things like games on a storage card.
Look at some must have threads to find programs that you like and after you figure it out try a hard reset and reinstall things. That will let you keep a stable device.
As for ROMS, I would be careful of even thinking about flashing on a mac unless you find a thread telling you how to do it, you don't want a bricked device.
Remember to search the forums - it's worth your time.
Just mount the kaiser with missing sync. After that, drag and drop the file to a location that you can remember. Once you do that, just go to the file explorer in the kaiser, locate the file, and click. You should be all set.
what about a non-cab files? with an .exe extension, will it be installable trough missing sync?
from what I can remember, Missing Sync is really broken at the moment. (under 10.5).
To install a cab, you just use the tab next to syncronize, what is it, the file tab or somehing?
if it's a .cab, it will be loaded automatically. But make sure there's no spaces/irregular characters on the .cab, otherwise, it won't load the installation, and possibly, the file will not be uploaded at all. I think this is a missing sync bug.
Nope, you're going to have to pull the .CAB out of the .EXE file

hi chenga, mind to point me how to do so? because i am going to lose my XP system very soon
how do i clear the list of previously used programs as my start list seems to be overloading itself
i get it open once ok then open and its all white ands then i have to scroll forever to find the thing i want
Hi, there is an option in Kaiser Tweaks from Chainfire that does clears the start menu:
Download the KaiserTweak.exe from Chainfires thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333898
Get the newest Kaisertweak.xml from Nikagls thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349009
Copy both files on your storage card e.g. in Program Files\KaiserTweak and run the exe: Go down the tweak list to Tools / Empty Start Menu, enable it and do a soft reset.
And there are alot of other great tweaks in this program, very easy to use. Be aware many tweaks need a soft reset afterwards to work.
!!! Many thanks to Chainfire and Nikagl !!!
Greetz,
Hans Olo
yeah i was hoping i could do that without installing something else as i think HTC plus created the problem in the first place
Hmm, I never heard of the start menu entry for previously used programs can overload itself. Mine has a maximum of 6 entries and the oldest entry gets overwritten by the newest. Sorry, seems I cannot help you with that overload issue, but I am sure there will be someone in this great forum.
Nevertheless, give KaiserTweak a try. It don't has to be installed (just copied) and it is a tool to easily optimize registry settings. A must have in my opinion, but of course it's to you... ;-)
Hans Olo
I took it a step further and manually hard reset the device clearing all the data and resetting everything
I did not have much on it, plus everything is backed up anyway.
All sorted now.
I've searched and I've asked and no one wants to help...Could someone please point me in the direction that I need to be in
Purpose
Sliding sounds
Games
and other applications..
Thanks
LOL
Are you really asking how to install a CAB file????? No wonder no one wants to help you..............
First transfer the CAB file to your phone/storage card(remember where you put the file, you will need to know to locate it on the phone).
Go to Start, Programs, and File Explorer.....Navigate to the folder you put the CAB file into and OPEN it, once opened it will automatically start installing.
I am assuming based on your question that its probably gonna ask you if you really want to install because it might not be a trusted certificate just click YES
Now its going to ask you where to install to.....option 1 the DEVICE.........option 2...........Storage Card(if you don't have a storage card then obviously there will be no options and it will just install)
Last, If you can't perform any of the above steps PLEASE don't even try OR attempt anything on this forum. Thread should be closed.
lol..kobe u went in too much detail trying to explain that..
man you have some patience..nice
i would have just said run the cab file from your phone..lol
Smoka PM me i'll make a video and send it to you so you can see how it's done.
No offense, but I'm a Noob on this forum and I know how to install a cab. BTW, I'm a girl.
