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 !!??

I don't think there is a phone that can use zipped files right out of the box, so you should first unpack the content of the zip, as you would do it on the PC.

pretty sure I've been opening ZIP files on my X1 via the default File Manager without any 3rd party software.
Although I'm guessing the original poster is getting confused between CAB and ZIP because Windows XP likes to treat them as the same.

I'v a question! Please help.
Well, if .zip file contain .cab or .exe then the procedure is lay down.
What in the case of zip files of theme or clock contain only .png file in that.
I mean, how to use such zips??
For more clarity to my question please check attachment enclosed & explain me, "In case I want to install that clock on my WM, how to proceed??"
Thanks in advance!!

You don't use the .zip, you have to copy those .png images into a specific folder.
Or maybe you downloaded the source images, i don't really know, i never installed a new clock theme or something.
Where do you have this file from?

can't change welcomehead.96.png file in windows folder

hello, i'm trying to replace my welcomehead.96.png file in my windows directory to a vista style bootup screen. i have a wm 6.1 rom upgrade. it won't let me replace the file at all. the original is read only so i uncheck where it says read only and before i can replace the file with my new one it goes back to read only on its own. any ideas or anyone who can help? thanks

same here, i need help

Same problem. No one will help us?

Is there a way of changing the settings so that you can see the file extensions in explorer without selecting the file?

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 ??

Problem After Hacking Shellres.192.dll

Hi,
I used ROM Extractor to transfer a copy of shellres.192.dll onto my PC. Then I used PE Explorer (claims this can read and modify windows mobile EXEs and DLLs, unlike Resource Hacker) to hack 2 windows mobile explorer folder icons. The icons that I replaced met the same image dimensions and bit depth as the originals so no problem there. However, after saving the file again and overwriting shellres.192.dll in my Windows folder, I came across a problem: The icons were changed sucessfully upon loading windows explorer, but my start menu button and some of the icons were missing from the top in my homescreen I don't understand it because I didn't modify anything apart from the folder icons. Maybe PE EXplorer has stripped some data from the original? If so, any ideas on how to fix this problem because I really wanted the XP looking folders on my device instead of the rubbish windows mobile ones. Has anybody had any success in changing their windows mobile icons without affecting any other icons in their phone. I had to restore a backup of my device using SPB Backup after this happened.
Please help!
Cheers

Hi, tozzy,
replacing the icons in shellres.192.dll shouldn't be a problem. I think you did it in the right way. One question for better understanding: have you re-signed the hacked DLL with MSigner? This could cause your issues.
Ciao
SeCo

Hi SeCo, many thanks for your quick reply! Oh I didn't know it had to be signed, I see now. Would you mind uploading MSigner here to this thread? if you have it as 4shared site isn't working for me . Thanks!

...here you go.
After ending the signing-process the signer will create a text-file with "...but not timestamped. Succeed." If you see this - all is ok.
You can delete the text-file and put the signed dll on your device. Best way: put it into the root of the storage card, rename the original dll (windows-folder) into "...dll.bak", copy the new dll into the windows-folder (using TotalCommander), perform a soft-reset and after this you may delete the "...dll.bak). Enjoy.
Hope it helps -
Ciao
SeCo

btw. - we should talk about the whole truth
There are three steps:
1. Unsign the dll (using unsigner.exe, see attachment)
2. Replace the icons (using ResHacker.exe, as you did)
3. Sign the dll (using MSigner.exe, like I described before)
and after the three steps: enjoy...

Hi SeCo, thanks very much matey that's great . Will check this out later.
