7zip for Kaiser

Does anyone know of a 7zip extractor for windows mobile? I'm dying to use Anryl's 6.5 roms but I'm having a hard time getting them out of the .7z format.
Thanks in advance.

I usually unzip from my computer, then drag the cab files over.
7zip has a website see if they have a mobile phone edition there.

The file you uploaded looks like 7zip for Windows, not Windows Mobile. I checked the 7zip website and there's a mobile version there, but it hangs on my Tilt when I start the extraction process. It ends up saying that I need to close some programs to free up memory, then soft resets.

You can try Xplore (from LonelyCatGames). I believe it handles 7z too, but haven't tried .. I used it for Zip and RAR ok.
However, I'd rather extract the ROM on PC and put the NBH to memory card. Doing so on your phone takes a very long time due to size ..

Xplore doesn't support 7zip. I totally agree with you - I'd much rather be unzipping on my pc then transferring to my phone but I have a mac at home that just doesn't play nice with my Win Mobile phone. This usually causes me to forget about flashing the new OS when I get home from work...

I don't know how this helps me. I guess I already knew that 7zip could be installed on my pc...
Thanks google translate!

Try this port:

I'm pretty sure that's the one that I've already tried - it installs fine and starts ok, but once I try to extract anything it asks for a task to close, then soft-resets.

I think you will find the file is simply too large to be handled & unzipped with available free memory.
I have used 7-zip a few times & it has worked ok but they were probably quite small in size compared to your ROM image file.
The task needs to be handled on a PC.

Can't find it either
A while ago I looked for a 7zip app myself. Never could really find one that worked.
Here's all the information I could find:
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=69426 Some russian form which supposedly has a 7zip app. This page is linked to from 7-zip.org
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462193 This is the only real post on xda I could find by searching. It seems to just have the same app as the one from the russian form. There is a WWE version of the app though. I couldn't actually get either of the versions of the app to work though. So try it yourself I guess.
If anyone does have a nice 7-zip app, I'd be glad to know of it though.

Yeah, I saw the same posts. It seems like Mister B is right, there just isn't enough RAM for the PPC version of 7zip to work on the Kaiser. Hopefully there's a developer out there with our same problem...

found this 7zip for mobile. works on my pure.

WM 6.5 3-Row Hexagonal Start Menu - 240x240

I would like to introduce in one .cab/.zip file the hexagonal start menu files compatible with WM 6.5 and 240x240 screens (like the Treo 750). The hexagonal start menu was removed from some WM 6.5 installations and now you can reinstall it.
Comes in two versions, with and without border.
.cab instructions:
1) Create an ActiveSync connection with your phone.
2) Copy the .cab file to your device.
3) Locate the .cab file on your device using Total Commander, or Resco Explorer.
4) Run the .cab file and let it install. Accept OVERWRITE if prompted.
5) Soft reset your device!
.zip instructions:
1) Create an ActiveSync connection with your phone.
2) Unzip the .zip file to your place of choice.
3) Browse your device, and copy and paste the files to your phone or SD card.
4) Use Total Commander, or Resco Explorer to locate where you placed the files and COPY/OVERWRITE all three files to the \Windows directory on your device.
5) Soft reset your device!
When your phone is finished booting open your start menu and enjoy some hexagons

thanks
I will give it try...

Or not, it just doesn't work...
both files freeze the start menu button...
Am I doing anything wrong?
I've just done what you told...

There was a problem with the .cab software I was using and it stripping the information from the .cpr files. I have re-uploaded the files in .zip format and changed the instructions. Try it again I promise it will work! This new way is more manual work, but it is very easy to do. I recommend using Total Commander as linked above. When in Total Commander select all three files and select copy, then browse to your \Windows directory and select paste. It will ask you to overwrite a file, select YES. After you are done, soft reset your phone.

Updated with working .cab files, feel free to download and install them!

great work
I've just instaled the .cab of the one with borders, and it's just sweet...
it's just beatiful... I RECOMEND it

Thank you! If there is enough interest I will make different shapes/colors/FX as well!

Will this work on a 240x320 device? I'm guessing no since you labeled it 240x240. Just wondering, I would like to try it out.

What is the difference between with or w/o border? What border?

I made that same question to my self, and just tryed both...
with borders you have the hexagon and borders highligted, on the one with no borders you just have the hexagon... you will not experience memory problems since the memory used to make the hexagons is the same used by windows to highligt the icons on the start menu...
I prefer the one with borders if you want to know

Mobile Office
I notice that there is no office installed with this ROM. When I tried to update my Office to 6.1, it would not install because it was not currently on. Is there a way to install a previous version so I can do the update?
Aside from that, I am liking this 6.5. I had 6.1 and it didn't look any different from the previous 6.0. I am using an unlocked Cingular 750 on the T-Mobile network. I have been using a Black Dash, which I loved the Kavana ROM on!

You can get office from here

how about a picture - to wet the appetite!

Archive program for the mobile

Is there any archive program equivalent of 7zip for the windows mobile? I know that there is a portable version of winrar, but that only unarchives zip and rar files. I'd need something to unarchive tar files. Total Commander only does zip files.
I'd prefer free solutions too, but that may be asking too much
Thanks in advance.

try to search next time
goto winrar.com and download the latest version for pocket pc and thre you go, 7z support.

How to unpack apk file

Hi, I am using the iskoot software, installed by an apk files. But I need to change a setting of this software, and in Windows Mobile I used to change the registry setting I need, but now, we do not have a registry....so what I am asking is, there is a way to unpack an apk files to see where and wich files it install? So that I can go there and edit the conf file I need?
Thanks!

apks are just zip files. Set them to open with your archive manager or change the extension to .zip. All applications install their settings into /data/data/%PACKAGENAME% where %PACKAGENAME% is the Java-style package name of the app.

Ugh, no need to use the evil "R" word here. You're going to give us nightmares!
Each application stores its configurations/settings in its home directory in /data/data as pointed out by the previous poster. You might want to bone up on 'sqlite3' as most configuration settings tend to be stored in such databases.

I'am trying right now to find this confing files, thanks, I'll let you know if it's ok.

Note that depending on what you are trying to do, the config files may or may not be able to adjust the property you're after. No matter what, the program itself must support what you are trying to do (this goes for ALL OS's -- you simply can't change something that is irrelevant and expect it to do what you want) and more often than not, the ability to adjust that property would be presented by the program itself.
That is, of course, not to say that manually adjusting the config files is useless, because there IS a lot you can do directly from the config files.

Download APK2EXE and NSIS install system
Follow these steps to create your executable!
* Extract APK2EXE to a new directory
* Add your APK to the directory
* Doubleclick APK2EXE.NSI and edit the 3 lines containing information about your application.
* Right click the NSI file, and select 'Compile NSIS Script' - this will create your install EXE
* Done!
And it is a .apk to .exe converter !!!
Can anyone tell me why it doesn't work ? Many thanks

because your trying to run a Android application on Windows.
it's like saying I want to make this MAC application run on windows.. it just doesn't work..
I dont care what programs say.. Its not coded for Windows so it wont understand what the program does...
BTW you application you speak of is meant to install APK's FROM windows not TO windows
"Hot on the heels of my installAPK utility to let you install APKs from your Windows desktop, I now have another neat trick... which allows developers to distribute APKs as Windows EXE files instead."

shouldnt be too tough. just make a executable file that installs and configures adb, allows user to select apk or select a folder of apk's, create a .bat file that tells windows command prompt adb push the .apk to the sd card, then adb install /sdcard/nameofapk.apk
simple enough!

Can anyone tell me how to edit the app / extracted APK file to make the phone think it's a completely different app i.e. install it twice...
Not trying to cause trouble, I'm just looking to install an older version of an app as well as the updated version...

Thanks for replying, I've had a go with that and extracted / decompiled, compiled, signed, and that doesn't work, when I try to install the newly created apk it still tries to overwrite it...
I've watched the vid and read the comments but haven't worked it out yet... Can you point me in the right direction about which bit to edit?

i think you need apktool

Cool, I'll look into that... Any pointers on how to do it once I've got apktool?

command line usage, this tool unpak and repak

Help with editing icons in phcanOverbmp.dll

I am trying to edit the icons in phcanOverbmp.dll, but no matter what i do the device will not use this modified file. This is driving me crazy as i can install and use other peoples taskbars with no issues and i know they have been modified.

1 extract the file from a cab that i know works on me device.
2. use the unsign tool on that file, goes ok
3. modify icons ans save file(even i do not do this step it still does not work)
4 sign the file with current 2010 or 2009 certs, says the file is singed, but not timestamped.
5 recreate cab file and install
I have SDKcerts.cab already installed on the device.
