the cab file is a simple way you install an app on your device. Just click on the cab and it should begin installation. Pay attention to where you are sending the cab on your device so that it is easy to find and just click and install. A Zip file is a compressed file or files. You must uncompress before you can install the cab. sometimes you will find the cab file inside the compressed zip file. Another format for compression is rar files. I use winrar to uncompress to desktop.
I strongly suggest that you read this forum as much as possible to learn as much as you can. Read the FAQ's and the WIKI. Also do research on your particular phone to learn its strenghts and weaknesses. There is lots to learn and you will have to do lots and lots and lots of reading. Don't get discouraged, just keep reading. There is a wonderful search feature as well to search for specific things. It takes a little getting use to; however, once you figure it out - how to use it efficiently, you will find things - answers - really easily. Some threads are really long and you will probably want to skip right to the end of the thread. _ Don't. Read the whole thread before posting. Some members get really frustrated with new commers who don't read before asking questions.
Good luck, have fun and remember - READ

Ok. I'm new to the tilt and this is the first program i have downloaded onto the phone. I downloaded to my computer, unzipped, copied and pasted to my phone and all I have is the programing (just the O's and arrows). What am I doing wrong??? Thanks for taking the time for a beginner!
can you give details,what you did,what u are using, what u want to accomplish
you prolly copied the contents of a .cab file
cab files are to be copied to the PPC directly and distalled from there
or you might have a corrupt SD (highly unlikely)
I'm all for helping but....
Please collect your thoughts, read the forum. Learn abotu the different ways to install software to your device.
Please spend time reading the wiki.
Hint: check the stickies (posts at the top of the forums.
Hey Guys/Girls,
I have been cooking for a while as some of you may know but I haven't done much in the .CAB department yet. So I need some help in how to sign a .CAB file. I looked around and founds lots of info on msdn but I figure some regular english and not "tech" talk might be a little easier. So can some one tell me the steps to sign a cab file? I read I need the WM6 SDK which comes with Signtool.exe but I also read I need the Windows Server 2003 SDK so I am all confused at this point. I know its not that hard just a few "black box" commands correct? Anyway you all get the point of this post any help would be helpfull. The reason I posted in ROM development is simple the CABS are part of the rom I want to start putting all cabs in the config.txt so users can uninstall them if they like to gain some space back. I figure if I compress the .exe in the cabs it should take up less space than a non compressed .exe cooked in the rom.

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

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?

I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460924

i think you will just need to unzip the files in to the windows directory and then soft reset
the manila's too?

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.

Hello!
My question is: how can I extract for eg. programs .cab files from .image or .nbh ROM?
I want to get original Mobile Opera 9.5 from R2AA UK Generic ROM, because some other version of opera overwritten it and I don't want it - just need original one back.
Check this thread in Development and Hacking, a tool to view files inside nbh ROM files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377514
Thanks! It helped. Is it also a way of cooking a new custom rom?
Edit:
I exported the file... but its "hidden" without option to make it visible. How to make it normally visible?
I'd really kick back, make yourself a couple of weeks worth of coffee and read, read read and then read some more.
There's quite a lot in the wiki on how to cook roms, which serves as a good start but to do it properly it will help to know some of the background to what you're doing.
Hence the reading.
FWIW I've just started playing with ervius visual multilang kitchen, it's quite nice, much better than some of the others. Do a search on it if you want to find it and try visualkitchen_v2_1
Of course it's a bit worrying that you want to cook your own roms, without knowing what's inside the one you're using.
IF you want the opera from r2aa and you're using a stock unmodified R2aa then look in windows (using a proper file explorer such total commander)
or use the search on here, as the one I posted has been linked a huge amount of times already, including 3 times in the past 2 days. .
