I'm trying to add a .exe to my list of programs on the programs tab of TouchFLO 3D (What a mouthful )
I haven't installed it officially so the HTC detects it (It was just a .exe drag-and-drop to the SD card)
So how do I make TouchFLO 3D detect it so I can add it to my programs list of the programs tab or how can I manually add it? I'm not a noob - I am familiar with registry editing, scripting and so on Thanks.
Bump? Still need help
Create a Start menu link with file explorer (extension installed) and then add it to touchflo program list
Thanks alot for the reply.
It didn't really help though. I tried going to Settings > Menus and it came up with basically the same list of programs as TouchFLO did. I tried selecting file explorer and adding it to my menu, which then shows on the TouchFLO list for adding - But I can't add custom programs because they're not officially installed by cabs (I just dragged the .exe over as said in my previous post)
Bump...

sorry for the newbie question, but searching I didn't find a solution.
is possible to create a single install pack for some applications that, normally, are installed one by one?
for example, I usually install SPB Pocket Plus, SPB Pocket Diary, SPB Gprs Manager, CallSMS Blocker and few others.
I'd like to create a single install pack to install everything in 1 step.
is this possible or I'm only... dreaming?
thx in advance!

You could create a 2577 file on your storage card and add the cab files from the software you want to install. Can't remember what i had to alter (something to do with the autorun bit - add all the cab file names). Only thing with this is that it always asks if you want to install "x" so you still have to take time to do the installs.
Suggest you research the 2577 file and how to alter them ( look for ext rom stuff)
Hope this helps.
i've lost myself
can't find any info about this 2577 file!
heeeeeeeeeelp
You can use this.

Hi, NOOBI questions here:
How do you guys manage your programs tab? As I install more and more programs, everything just gets dump under programs. Is there a way to make subfolders under the programs tab that can also be accessed via the start menu? I'm sure there's a way, I just don't know how. Thanks for your help!
Use File Explorer and got to 'Windows' 'Start Menu' 'Programs'
You can create directories and move the Application links into them.
I find it easier to do this through the Mobile Device icon on my PC when connected with Activesync as you can also create new shortcuts for items this way, something that cannot be done through the standard WM Explorer.
I have installed a version of Opera that came in a CAB file, the problem is I want to remove it but it dose not appear in the Add/Remove programs list, I can see the folder under /windows, how do i go about removing it completely including the start menu shortcuts ect without just deleting it
any help appreciated
cheers
Andy
easiest way would be to delete the opera folder plus any shortcuts tbh
hi guys, im new here and got my diamond just yesterday.. its my first pocket pc, and i need real help..
looked around the forums and found a lot of good stuff..
downloaded a couple of applications like advanced configuration tools, gsen, registery editor, but i dont know how to install them. when i unzip the files on my pc the are in xml format and when i double click on the setup file it opens in notepad..
plz help me, what should i do? how do i install these applications?
Instead of unzipping the .cab files on your pc, you need to copy them to your diamond (using activesync or select 'disk drive' when you plug it in).
Then open file explorer on your diamond, navigate to where you copied the .cab file, and run it - .cab is an installer file for windows mobile applications

Do the following, hehe
When you download most programs they will be in .CAB format. Now all this means is that they can be installed DIRECT from the phone.
What I do is create a folder on my Diamond in Internal Storage called APPS and make sure my Diamond is synced to my pc / laptop using Activesync on XP or Windows Mobile Device centre if on Vista and then copy all the .CABS that i have downloaded into the APPS folder on my phone.
Once im ready to install the applications its very simple.
On your Diamond click on START and then PROGRAMS and locate FILE EXPLORER.
When FILE EXPLORER has loaded up in the top left of the window you will notice a memory card icon with the current directory you mobile is pointing to, push this and you will then see MY DEVICE and the location you are currently at.
If you have used a pc before its very similar to how the pc windows explorer used to navigate, anyway, select MY DEVICE and then choose INTERNAL STORAGE and then APPS.
Then its just a matter of selecting which application you wish to install as all the .CABS will be displayed. Select the one you want to install and follow the installation process.
If there are any small programs 1mb or less then I tend to install these onto my phone storage memory and for games I install them onto INTERNAL STORAGE but its up to you. Some programs require a SOFT RESET to work.
The SOFT RESET button is located where the STYLUS is stored on the phone, pull the STYLUS out and then you will see a RED BUTTON inside.
Push this and your phone will restart.
