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

It's not seeing the files that it calls for within that batch file. Where do you have your files stored?
what rom are you trying to flash?
I know with PDAVIET you have to aserg twice and soft reset after each.
Also, IT IS IMPERATIVE that you flash over an RUU.
as far as "ivanmmj's" comment goes..lets see where am i stashing the files..after it opens up using WINRAR i just use the directory right from WINRAR im not actually moving the files onto my hard drive....
I am was trying to install the ITOUCH FINAL V2 blah blah blah...
I installed the 5 button setup and the overclocking program with the battery indicator..
i got everything to work that just involves moving CAB files over..obviously a simple thing that doenst need a page long thread to explain how to install..
I still need help..im following directions but like ivanmmj said its not reading the files ..still need help LOL

There's your problem. You need to unrar the files to a directory. Then open a command prompt and run the batch file from that directory.
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
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
I have this problem with Opera Mobile 9.5 where I try to download a cab file to install on my phone but it instead opens the cab file as text. There isn't a "Save file as" option in the menus so how can I download the cab file without opening it as text?
Type in opera:config and check through the settings, or you could reinstall.
Guys I am having this problem also and need to fix it.
The thing is when I type :config in Opera and try to log into settings nothing happens. Please how can I remove that **** Opera off my phone?????????
Need to install all the cabs that I need...
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
I have never had any problem downloading anything with Opera... Actually, I tend to try and use Opera to download with because it's download manager works so well.
It sounds like you have a setting off somewhere in your phone... probably with Opera, assuming you can download with IE just fine.
Also, you want to type in the address bar "opera:config" without the quotation marks, and that is where you will find the advanced settings that control downloads with Opera.
As well, maybe try downloading a different version of Opera? I like this one:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ywydu3iczxn/WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9-build_15954_WWE_QVGA.CAB
That is not what I mean.
I downloaded files throught my PC, hooked Omnia to it and copied the files to the phone's SDcard.
The cab files of all progs are "branded" Opera. meaning if you want to run them, they open through Opera and not execute style. Got it?

Ah, ok... I don't think that is the same problem they were having... I don't know what the solution to that would be, since a .cab file is an .exe file written to run a PPC, thus when you click on it, it should run itself without any other program opening it...
I would say try downloading the cab files directly on to your phone with the built in browser, save them to your memory card of course...
But if you are copying a .cab file on to your phone, and using file explorer to launch it, there is no reason it shouldn't work, it is a self executing file that doesn't look for a mother program to run it... Unless somehow you have managed to change them so that they try and open with Opera, either through your phone settings or properties of the cab itself type thing.
I think I have no choice but to disable or uninstall Opera in some way.
If someone can help me to do this, I think I can manage with the cab files then...
I don't think that will fix your problem. Those files will still be linked to Opera. And if Opera is part of your ROM, you can't uninstall it... actually even if you loaded it yourself, unless you did one of the uninstallable versions, it can't be uninstalled...
At this point, it would help if you gave more information:
What, if any mods, you have done to your phone?
What program did you use to copy the files to the SD card?
Where did you get the cab files?
Heck, what cab files are they?
These mods:
http://www.samsung-omnia.org/how-to/howwhatwherewhichwhywhen/
And the cab files are related to advanced configuration tools, Omnia patched dialler, SPB mobile shell and a couple others.
You might want to ask that forum for assitance? It looks like they are pretty dedicated to the Omnia, which most everyone here does not have one. This forum is for the HTC Kaiser specifically, and the site as a whole is dedicated to HTC devices. Perhaps post in the general section of this site, but I think you will have better luck with the omnia site you got all of your cabs from.
In general, without having screen shots, or hands on knowledge of the cab files you are trying to use, about all I can say(and anybody really) in this forum is that there is something corrupt with the .cab files or your file explorer is corrupted. I would bet the .cab files are corrupted, and that somewhere along the way you did something wrong. Maybe you skipped a step in the whole process, and Opera is coming up not because they are tagged to run through Opera, but because it is suggesting to search for something using your default browser.
It really is hard to say, but I would suggest asking that forum for some support. Also, I would flat out re-download all the cabs straight to your phone from the site, not your computer. This will make sure you don't have any issues with the sync process. As well, save them to the root of you SD card, in other words not in a folder.
Sometime i got this problem but it seem it happen when the page is not fully loaded
Do you open cab files through Opera?
Open link in new tab
Hi
I have also had this problem with opera version 9.5.16277. I have found a couple of work arounds:
1) Tap and hold on the link and then select "Open in new tab"
2) Tap and hold on the link and select "Copy link location". Then manually open a new tab and paste the address into the address bar.
I have found that if 1) above does not work 2) will.
Cheers

Sometimes it's the website itself.
For example, for Josh's Test ROM, if we click directly (even on PC) on the link, it'll open the zip file on the page. I had to 'right-click' and 'save the link as' to save the file.
It might be some code on the page ..
Input the two .reg files to the registry, should just solve the problem. You can use any regiedit tools or taskmgr.exe or total command to do it. If don't know how, please search some info first.

The above is my answer to origional poster of this thread.
But since this thread is already goes to off-topic, I would also write my comments:
Opera opens compressed file as text on page, is a big bug for opera software, it happens to both its mobile and desktop vdersions. But latest releases of Opera Mobile seems have some progress on this issue, although still can not completely avoid it.
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?

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
