Simple instructions for getting POINTUI installed on XDA11i

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simple instructions for installing the POINTUI program onto my XDA11i .
Thank you.

The recommended way is to install the WM5 cab and then copy the files for the WM2003 version over the WM ones installed on Program files pointui home 1.02b, that way you get registry entries and things are in their correct places.

Thanks for the reply BUT I am a complete novice in these matters - as such I have NO IDEA what you just said
Thanks anyway though !!

I got to this stage but not sure what to do ..
http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx

OK I am useless at all this technical stuff .
All the other programs I managed to get on my XDA11i were simple to install .
I downloaded a file anf clicked to run then they loaded automatically onto my XDA.
IS there a similar method for the POINTUI program .... PLEEEEEEASE

Sadly not for WM2003 but you are nearly there, I put a step by step on the other link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374360&page=2 persevere it is worth it. You only need to copy some files over the ones installed by the cab file

Hope this tutorial could help you
1. Download CAB Installer from Pointui website then copy the file to your PDA
2. Click the file on your PDA to install it
3. Download this file http://www.pointui.com/files/tests/1...me.ppc2003.zip
4. Double click that zip file and extract to \Program Files\PointUI\Home\1.02b\ ( It's at your PDA directory )
5. It will ask to overwrite and just answer Yes.
6. Click on file name Home to run the application.
To make it run automatically when you soft reset the device you need to create shortcut to Startup folder
1. Copy filename Home and paste shortcut to \Windows\Startup\ ( PDA Directory )
2. Done
p/s: Its based on robsno step. Thanks

Thanks very much for your time and effort .
Sadly I will have to wait a whil longer as I am not technical enough to follow your insructions.

As I mentioned previously - All the other programs I managed to get on my XDA11i were simple to install .
I downloaded a file and clicked to run then they loaded automatically onto my XDA.
IS there a similar method for the POINTUI program YET ??

Guess not !!??

Just got my Tilt i have a question about buying games

i plan on getting guitar hero mobile but i was wondering how do i back it up incase i have to restore my phone?

You can just save the .cab (or .exe) installation file on your desktop pc....
Then remember to save your save game file from you ppc..

when i dl the game onto my phone doenst it automatically delete the cab file? if not where is it found?

Yes, it does..
You have to edit a reg key to not delete the .cab you installed.... (but at the moment I don't remember which one....)
But you can duplicate the .cab file, so you always will have a copy....

well i have no idea how to edit the registry or anything is there an easier way? will att charge me again if i have to dl it again?

If you download it again surely you'll pay again.....
Just copy the .cab file to your desktop pc, and there won't be problems in the future....

how do i copy it to my pc doesnt it auto install once i pay and dl it?

jbed settings
look 4 a setting in jbed options. I remember saw an option to not delete cab after installed.

this is all greek to me can i use kaisertweak to edit the registry or what do i need?

OK, found the option in Advanced Config under Miscellaneous | "Delete CAB file after install", set it to NO.

Opera default download location

hi
i sometimes download files via opera and i use the open option, but opera keeps a copy in the /windows folder, which means i gotta keep cleanin dat folder otherwise my main memory gets full..
1. Is there any way to change the download folder to internal memory?
2. Havin the same problem with the default bluetooth incoming folder
3. How do I check if i'm using the latest Opera version?
im using stock 1.93 wwe rom.
Thanks in advance...

If you just press open then it will download to a temp directory, but it should delete it after opera closes unless you keep it open when you close opera

maybe im usin an outdated version becoz whether the downloaded file is open or not it keeps a copy in
Code:
\windows\opera9\download
directory.
im using ver 9.5 build 1522

Bump. Looking for the same answer. Just realized there are a bunch of cab files in my Application Data\Opera9\download folder, even though I save my cab files to My Storage when asked.

you can change this by typing:
Code:
opera:config
in your adressbar in opera, you'll get a bunch of options there

Unfortunately, download location isn't one of them. I did figure this out via Download Squad.
Change your download directory:
1. Edit the Opera.ini file
2. Under [User Prefs] change "Download Directory=\My Documents\" to another directory on your device or storage card
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My .ini file didn't have a download directory setting, so I created one.

Downloads pref
There's a "Save Dir" setting under Saved Settings in Opera:Config. I think that's what you're looking for.
Oddly, though, all my files seem to be going to \MUSIC, which I don't understand, especially since the Save Dir is set to \Windows\Opera9\download...
Anyone know what's going on with this?
Edit: Aha! Figured out my problem. In Opera:config, in the User Prefs section, there is a Download Directory setting which actually sets where things are downloaded. I'm not sure what the Save Dir setting does, especially since there seems to BE no \Windows\Opera9\download directory...

The problem is that only official builds ALWAYS support this feature, imho. F.e. 15954 doesn't saves the files into directory specified in "Download Directory" as default.

what works for me
Hi I realise this is an old thread but maybe some people, like me, are still searching for more memory on their Omnia.
Changing the download location for Opera didn't work for me - couldn't open the files once downloaded. So I kept the same folder and there are two ways to clear it.
1) when you finish looking at the attachment, it should bring you back to download screen, where you can select delete (sorry that's not much help)
2) easier - Download ClearTemp and change custom folder 1 to \Application Data\Opera 9\Downloads\. Added benefit that it clears other things that build up too. And there is a check box to clear automatically when you start up, so you don't even need to run the programme.
Another hint, when you can't get text messages through as there is not enough storage memory, go to task manager and end all tasks to free up a couple of megs (I find this also saves battery life).

Convert Hotix.exe to cab ?

Hi,
Is you it possible to convert the hotxix for the HD in cab ? Or how to integrate them directly in the kitchen ?
(TouchHD_display flicker.exe and Touch HD_SlidingAnswer.exe)
Thank you for advances if you have a solution..
NB: or how the décompilate

When you install the exe files, it will be a cab file placed in root folder.
Get it as soon as possible, or it will be deleted when finished.

Could somebody be so nice and upload the cab files please? Unfortunately I'm running Windows 2000 and the executives tell me my OS is too old.

try launch the exe on the phone, and don't install (but let it stay running, not terminating the program), use your favorite file browser to grab the "Install.cab" under the root folder

You have to do it on device not on PC

Thanks, stupid me. Should have read the description. No wonder my system was not supported. Gonna try it now.

Hi,
I put this order in my Kitchen (Oem OperatorPkg_PT)
EXEC:\windows\TouchHD_display_flicker.exe
EXEC:\windows\Touch_HD_SlidingAnswer.exe
But there must be certainly simpler ??

Opera Mobile opening cab files as text

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.
