read cab files

is there an app for the alpine that lets you extract cab files from exe.files without using a pc

I think most of the .exe actually contain a Win32 installer, so I believe there is no realy way to extract the CAB from it, apart from running it on the PC.
However, most of the time you can get the CAB on the PC and install it without using ActiveSync. The Installer usually extracts the CAB to C:\Program Files\[Name of Software] or C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\[Name of Software]. Grab it there and store it on your device, then install with CabInstaller for example.
Cheerio !

If you must go hardcore and decompress a cab on your phone, try it with a RAR decompresor. They open on the PC with winrar, but you'll lose file name & structure.

Sometimes the PC .exe file automatically deletes the CAB file from the PC & you won't be able to find it on the PC.
If you have an app that behaves like this, run the .exe on the PC & click on OK/Next until you get to the dialogue that asks you 'Install "AppName" using the default install directory?', just after you see the 'Retrieving Device Data' notification.
Now fire up Windows Explorer on the PC and search your \Program Files\ and \Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\ directories for your software developer's name. The CAB files should be inside this folder.
Note: All you need is the CAB file. If there is more than one, make sure you pick the correct Processor type ie .ARM for Himalaya or Alpine, not SH3 or MIPS. You don't need any .ini files either.

How To: Keep your old Fascinate clock

Here's a "How to" using nothing but your phone and computer (or Mac):
1.) If you JUST want the clock, you'll need to download onto your Mac or PC either "missing.zip" or "iofthestorm.zip" from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940456&page=6
2.) Extract the zip file, and open the folder: missing>system>app. Both of these zips have extras bundled into them, so locate Clockpackage.apk. Now, keep this window open.
3.) You'll need a file manager (I like Root Explorer) that allows you to see the "system" (you won't see "" around these files w/in your phone) file. Within in the "system" file, is the "app" file . You'll need to remove the previously bundled clock, but before you do you have to bypass the "system" file's r/o permission. For noobs, r/o = read only. r/w = read/write.
4.) I don't have the link, so click search from w/in the Android Market on your phone and type: mount /system. It'll be the first app that appears on the list. Mount /System is literally the name of the app, so the spacing, etc., is not a typo. Download and install.
5.) When finished with step # 4, fire up your new app, Mount /System, and click the button that says, "Mount r/w."
6.) Remove your old clock from the system/app folder. I first made a copy into my download folder just in case anything went wrong. Once the copy was in a place I could locate again, I went back to system/app folder and deleted the previously bundled clock.
7.) I plugged my phone via usb (settings/applications/development/USB debugging) into my computer. Locate the folder in step #2. Find the clock. Then, drag and drop onto your system/app file.
8.) You're done! Close Root Explorer, and you should see your old Samsung Clock in your app drawer on your phone.
Please note, I'm not a software developer nor am I a hacker. I know only about my device, a Samsung Fascinate, so please don't ask me how to use this mod for other devices. Those who would like to do so would be better off following some of the adb tutorials posted on these forums.

LCARS Conversion Kit [UPGRADED 12-20-2011]

This Conversion Kit is designed to convert your device's overall look to that of a PADD, or LCARS interface device from the Star Trek universe.
OS: WM5/6
Difficulty: Moderate
Disclaimer: With the exception of the skin for TCPMP, the DockWare image series, the Today Wallpapers, and the Color Scheme files, all programs, flash movies, and skins in this kit are the property of their respective owners, and were acquired as freeware. However the versions of those skins in this kit have been modified, sometimes extensively, by myself, so that they may better integrate with the overall conversion scheme.
Instructions:
Step 0:Transfer the "LCARS.ttf" font from the main Kit directory to the "Fonts" folder on your device
Step 1: Install Wisbar Advance (The latest Version, although this setup was deigned for WA2...), or if you already have Wisbar Advance, place the folder "WA2 LCARS" into the appropriate diectory. (You may rename it as needed) There is also an animation for your wait cursor stored in the "LCARS WaitCursor" directory (You won't need the animation if you're using WA2... To get a unique wait animation, install the cab file "MWC2.2" instead from the "Programs" directory, and load the entire folder "MajUan I" into the program's directory on your device (It should be: "Program Files>MWC2").
Step 2: Install the program "Digital Today Screen Clock" (After installing, make sure it is the item at the TOP of your today screen, and that it is the only clock enabled) found in the "Programs" Directory of this Kit, and Load the Today Screen Wallpaper. After installing the clock, Go to Start>Settings>Personal>Today, and select the option to set a picture as the desktop background (Pick any .png image, you'll have to enter the filename manually, including extension, although you can navigate to the folder just fine... we'll be adjusting it in a moment) Once the desktop has changed, drop the contents of the folder "LCARS Today Wallpaper" DIRECTLY into the "Windows" directory. Don't worry if you can't see anything, it'll show up once you reset.
Step 3: Install the Program "UITweaker" from the "Programs" folder in the Kit. Once it's installed, Place the contents of the folder "LCARS Color Schemes" into a directory you can easily remember, and execute the program. Once open, Launch the subprogram "TdyScheme Changer" and then select the button "Windows Mobile 5.0 and Above" Set the BaseHue to "280" and select OK, now select the "Tools" button, then select "Import". A file exploring dialog will appear. Navigate to the folder you placed the two files from the "LCARS Color Schemes" directory, and select the .scheme file "LCARS" (It should be the only thing visible). After applying the scheme, navigate back to the launcher panel, and launch the subprogram "SysColor Changer". Select Tools>Import, you should be in the same file explorer dialog as before, and there should be only one .sys file visible "LCARS" Select it. (If not, navigate to it as before) Once the color scheme is imported, a dialog box will prompt ypu to reset, do so.
Step 4: Install DockWare. Once you have done so, remove all the image files from the DockWare directory, and insert the contents of the folder "DockWare LCARS Series". Set theDockWare options as follows: Set Transitions to "on" set the display for "Digital Clock, no Calendar", and set the color to Red-255, Green-155, Blue-5. You can set the start delay to whatever you wish.
Step 5: Install PsShutXP. Place the folder "PsShutXP" where you want on your device, and place the contents of the directory "PsShutXP" into it. Now, place a shortcut to "PsShutXP_nosc.exe" in your Start Menu.
Step 6: Install the skins for WMP, Pocket Player, and TCPMP. Place the folder "WMP LCARS" into the directory "Program Files/Windows Media Player/Skins" Rename as neded. Place the file "Pocket Player LCARS.psz" into the Directory "Program Files/Pocket Player" (If you have Pocket Player installed) Rename as needed. Place the folder "TCPMP LCARS" into whatever folder you have selected for storing your TCPMP Skins. Rename as needed. (You will need to have a version of TCPMP that supports skinning, You can download one Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=815789
Step 7: In the directory "Flash Movies" in the Kit, there are several LCARS Flash movies you can bind to your hardware buttons to round out your LCARS experience.
Step 8: In the directory "Alerts" are two audio files which you may use as alarms for a low battery event.
Setup Complete.
(UPDATED: 12-20-2011 CHANGES: Fixed minor code for WMP and TCPMP skins, minor graphics fixes on main skin)

anyway to insert speech language on system directory?

hi, I have an interop unlocked Lumia 830, and i've installed windows 10 mobile preview on this, but I can't download speech languages, is there anyway to put this on the C: folder on phone with full file system access and interop unlock?

This can only be doned before you upgrade to WM10.

I used to make a copy of DUShared directory on my PC. Every time i install wm10 interopunlock, full acces System , copy, update phone...install
EDIT: create those directories inside DUShared. Extract and copy inside DUShared the updateimput.xml file.
extract and copy inside PackagesToInstall directoy the speeech files from my ondrive account.

when I click to search updates it tell that the phone was updated, what is the process?

I think:
1)copy those files in phone folders.
2)speech, ad language-download,
3)settings, update.
Or only 1 and 3.

I think i have only one part of packagestoinstall. Only cortana in spanish is talking
