Does anyone use Winampaq? If so, have you managed to use any of the Winamp 2.x skins?
I'm having trouble trying to use them. Basically, I put the relevant skin (.wsz) file in a folder, but when I use the browse function on Winampaq, the list only shows the folders and not what is contained within each folder
Any ideas?
Many thanx
change the wsz extention to zip and unzip the files to a dir
and point to that dir using winampaq
and they all work at least all the skins i've tried
Thanks Rudegar, but you must excuse my ignorance. I have zipped the wsz file, but I can't extract it directly to my XDA2. I have to extract it to my desktop first, before syncing the file to the XDA2. But once extracted to the desktop, it is a .wsz again so zipping it hasn't made any difference.
Could you explain to me step by step how you do it, please?
I'm using "StuffIt" to zip the file, but I guess the results would be the same as if using "WinZip".
Once again, please excuse the ignorance, but I really want to change the skin as the default one isn't very pleasing to the eye!
Many thanks
you have to CHANGE the extention of the file
before
skinname.WSZ
after
skinname.zip
you have to edit the file name not zip the file
wsz is just a zipped file to begin with
after you change the extention you can just copy out the stuff from inside it
i use total commander both on my pc and on my xda because it makes it easy to work with zip files and other things, it sees zip files like dir's and you can copy stuff from inside them without any problems
Many thanks for your help, Rudegar. I will give it a shot...
I'm trying to copy a file that's in use in the ROM out somewhere. Is there any way to do this?
alternatively, is there a way to read/explore .bin files (rom)? either option is fine with me.
You need to dump and unpack the ROM. Precisely how to do this depends on the specific model of your device.
Please read the WiKi for more info.
can someone please make a cab file from this dll file??
thanks a lot.

I have also attached QuickCab 1.0 - You can use this to create your own .cabs in future. Just use QuickCab.exe. It is an easy to use GUI and wizard.
Also included in the QuickCab 1.0.zip that might be of interest to you is MSCEInfen.exe - This file is used to decompress .cab files to their original formats.
Hey all, I'm fairly new to modifying my diamond, I know about cab files, and how you just drag into internal storage. but what do I do with zip files? the only time I've been able to do something with one was when I opened it and there was a cab file inside. but what do I do with a zip file to get the files onto my phone? thanks
also, I have rom version 1.09 on my phone, i'm pretty sure there's a new version available? would that be the same thing as flashing the phone, or is that just an update you do somehow. thanks
Updating your software to a new version is called flashing, whether you do it with an official ROM or a cooked ROM.
About your question:
If you download a .zip file, just open it on your pc with a program like winzip or winrar and the content of the zip file will be extracted to your computer. Just copy those file(s) to your phone and use them, easy as that!
Zipping a file just makes it smaller, so its less heavy to download for people with a slow internet-connection. A zip file alone isn't a program or something, it just contains other files in a smaller form.

so how do you install a zip file as a program not just as an app in a folder?
cool, thanks whis that helps
edit: do you just drag the files into internal storage? I dont understand what I do with all of the individual files when they are on my phone. for instance, i'm trying to get a diamond theme for s2u2, and I have all the individual files on my phone, wallpapers and templates and such, than what do you do with them?
can anybody help me
same problem here! did you get it figured out?
no i still have no idea what to do with zip files, unless there are cabs only inside them. haha please help! I know why so many apps on here are zips, just don't know how to use them

Typically theme files for s2u2 (and most other apps) will need to go in a sub folder of the program's folder in program files.
For example when you install s2u2 there is a directory created on the device as follows: /My Device/Program Files/S2U2/gfx
So you would put the files from the .zip in that folder if they are for themes.
I think this is what you were asking. Each program is different and may or may not have a folder for themes. Its best to ask about that from the individuals that develop or provide the program.
Hope this helps!
powe that helps a little bit. So say in that gfx folder for s2u2, you have all those individual files, wallpapers, clocks, ect...how would I go about applying that to s2u2? I guess thats my main question, I can see where all the files are on my phone from the zip, don't know how to use each of them
Been doing this since the very first xda.
I'm sure lots of people do the same but I thought I wanted to share with the new members this trick.
Unzip the attached file and see if you need any of them and if you do remove or do not overwrite those original files.
Using other than the file explorer say Resco or Total look for the original files inside the Windows folder and rename the file extensions to say ".old".
Once you have renamed the ones you do not want or need overwrite with the files I have provided.
After that delete the ones you changed to for example ".old" extension.
Reset and you would have recovered more than 14,178,834 bytes.
thanks a lot, was looking for smth like this!
