hey guys im really sorry for creating this thread but I downloaded a .arm file to my comp and i synced to my tilt and my tilt wont open the file. how do i open a .arm file on my tilt? sorry for the n00b question. I searched google and no answer so i was hoping my fellow tilt brothers would help out a guy in the process of learning.
As far as I know .arm is not any format native to Windows Mobile / PPC applications.
Generally, when installing software on your device it will come in one of three forrmats:
1) .CAB file - This is like a specially designed zip file which you transfer to your device and run from your device. It contains all the information to install the files in the necessary locations, and generally also creates the proper shortcuts/icons.
2) .EXE file (PPC format) - This is an executable file for your PPC. It will only run on your PPC. If you try to run this from windows you will get an error (something like "not a valid win32 application"). This is what generally gets extracted from the .CAB file aboved and gets placed somewhere on your PPC.
3) .EXE file (Windows format) - This is a normal windows .EXE file and is generally a windows based installer for the program, much like a normal installation program for any Windows PC. When you run it, it often will place a .CAB file onto your device (or into the ActiveSync queue) to be installed. this type of EXE must be run from Windows XP/Vista itself and won't launch on the PPC directly.
If you are downloading a file different from the above from a vendor, they probably also provide instructions. I have not seen any program come in a format other than the above (unless they were also compressed with ZIP or RAR and needeed uncompressing first).
here is what the ext arm could mean
http://filext.com/file-extension/arm
but it could also be that you use some odd filemanager like file explore which dont show the right extentions and the file was called blabla.arm.cab
and explore is hiding the cab
use total commander
That does make sense. A lot of cabs for the arm architecture are called for example netcf.arm.cab. If you aren't using a good file explorer you are not gonna see the file extension. Do your note shoe note.pwi?
Are you sure it's .arm & not .amr? .amr is a media type file.
I find large file extension database here http://www.file-extensions.org
Do you know how can I put my name and my registration code into my package ( for kitchen) or how can I put them into the cab file so I dont need to type the code everything I do the hardreset. THX
If your software keep the reg info in the registry, just add this key to your package's rgu; if on the other hand the info is in a file, just add the file and don't forget to add the file into initflashfiles

How I can change some images from the windows folder, they are read only and I can't change this, I can download the images to my pc and change them but I can't put them back, is there a other way then just decopile the entire rom?
Willem
it`s not possible, only you DUMP your Rom

Just use a program like Total Commander or Resco Explorer to copy the files into your Windows folder. The ROM files aren't actually overwritten, they are merely shadowed.
