i skip installing the ext rom after doing a hard reset. i want to install caller_id but it wont let me... my file is Caller_ID_Magician_Generic_WWE_RC13.cab. when installing it say "The file "\Windows\iacontacts.dll" is in use or is in ROM. If the file is not in ROM, please cloase the application using the file." what should i do with this? and can i install this in storage? Thanks in advance to whoever give replies.
This problem suggests caller id or Photo Contacts is already installed on your device. Check to see if Photo Contacts is in your programs list.
If not, go to the windows folder and try to rename iacontacts.dll to iacontacts.old and then delete this file. Attempt your install again.
Your install may give you the same message for additonal files, repeat the above for each file named.
The files which are in used by the device will not be overwritten. You have to browse to \windows and rename each of those files. After that, install again. I have the same situation and it works now.

If it has installed itself on your himalaya, uninstall instructions are in the thread

Install Caller_ID_W..
PHP is a language which runs on the webserver. so when you click on download.php you actually start a service on the server, which gives you the requested file.
now these CAB-files are pocketpc cab files ad are kind of setup programs for PocketPC , so you have to copy the CAB to your pocketpc and execute it there.
You can execute it by putting it in your extended rom, modify the config.txt and hard reset (I hope you know what hard reset means/implies)
or simply by tapping on it in PPC file explorer. In this case the CAB will disappear after installation. But if you have a previous version of Caller_id installed, you best uninstall it first : by editing the registry as explained in the forementioned thread, deleting as much files from the previous thread as it allows you to, soft reset, and delete the rest of the files.
I sure hope you understand all this, because if you don't know what php is, don't know what PPC CABs are, then I would advice you not to mess around too much with your PPC internals.

i know what is cab file.
but i wanted to know weather the file is in zip format cus win zip doesn't recognize it and even when i paste it on my ppc it doesn't install it simply says (there is no application associated with ''caller_id_wwe'' run the application first,then open the file from with in)
sounds like something corrupt during download
clear your internet cache and download again, don't unzip/unrar it, just copy the complete CAB file to your PPC
almost everything is installed with cab, so it would be weird that no association exists. Or during the copying to PPC maybe the conversion went wrong.
I'm really guessing now, just keep trying.
I have just installed this on I-jam. Thank you for the rom. I now seem to be missing the program which allowed me to assign photos and backgrounds to contacts. Is there any way of getting this back or can you recommend another program I can use in its place?
The advantage of the Big Storage hack is that the storage area is now accessible for other purposes and that you can select which softare to install from the Extended ROM. You'll find various Extended ROM versions in the ftp server. The cab file that you are looking for is called Caller ID.
I am trying to install the phone dialler software but is comes up with iacaller.dll in use, how do i install it, any help appreciated..
phonepad
can anyone tell me how to uninstall this please
in order to remove the iacaller.dll from use, try removing it from your \windows\startup folder, then soft-reset. Then you should be able to run the cab file. However there will be several other *.dll that need to be replaced but are read-only. What you have to do is manually rename those to something else (I just put a OLD_ in front of the name). Do this either through the the activesync explorer or you can select to "view all files" from your pocket pc file explorer. I don't remember the ones that need to be renamed, I had a list but who knows where it is now... So you'll have to rename them one by one as the device prompts you. so for example it'll say name.dll is in use cannot copy - remember the name of the file, exit the installer (or most likely the installer will exit itself) then go into the \windows folder, locate the file, rename it to OLD_XXX.dll then run the cab again. Repeat as necessary. Good luck.
Hi, i have updated my device to the mr. clean image.
Now i have to install all software. So i create a folder on my storage card with all necessary cab files.
Is there a possibility to have them all be installed with one click? For example to create a Batch to install them one after another?
Hope not to ask silly questions.

try this;
example;
This '\Storage Card\2577\autorun.exe' is an official M$ way of autolaunching programs from SD card, well described in MSDN...
If you put calc.exe into this folder and will rename it to autorun.exe, it will be automatically launched upon inserting this SD card in. So your calculator will pop up...
make a folder in the root of the sd card called [2577] put the cab files into the folder ,reboot the device .it should install,
alternative; use the autorun from the extended-rom to launch the files.you my need to do some editing intiothe config file.
Thanks - how can i "see" the extended rom? Editing a config file is no problem for me.

download from here; http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm
thank you very much to all
Problem is...all your CABS will be installed to their default installation directory (mostly Main Storage).
What I would like to know is how to make all CABS install to the Storage Card or a directory specified in the config.text?
Hello,
I am trying to copy a file (from my smartphone to SD card), which have a 'ROM' attribute set and... it is impossible - acces denied is showed (even in Resco Explorer, Total Commander). I can't even change that attribute.
Please help me to find any solution
Best greetings,
RA
You should be able to extract files from the ROM file on your PC thanks to the tools provided in one of the sticky about ROMs modifications.
Unfortunatelly...

I have extracted an 'nb' file from my ROM file, but WinImage can't open it ("not FAT16, FAT32 file"). It is WM6 image file, what tools to open this 'nb' file?
Best greetings,
RA
I, too, am trying to find a way to copy some ROM attributed files.
Ultimately, I am trying to move/copy some apps from one smartphone (WM5) to another (WM6). Is there a way to copy them to a zip file and move the files that way or maybe even using a backup copy (i.e. using Sprite Backup?) and restoring to a different phone?
Any help or direction would be appreciated. If there is another thread out there, please be sure to point me to it since searching brings up a lot of different threads.
u need to extract the rom.
Funny, but you make it sound so easy... ;-) I've been searching to figure out how to do that and found some instructions I'm hoping I can follow for the one phone, but not sure it it will apply to the old phone (WM5). If I do manage to dump the ROM, where does it go and does it extract the files in cab format for easy upload?
Update: I found a file extractor at http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6700-xv6700/56057-6700-rom-dump.html which may have originally come from Buzz... (thanks Buzz!)? so now I have all the files and modules off the old phone, but am running into some issues installing. I can transfer the files indirectly, and can find the specific application file, but when trying to run the app, it tells me that it's still missing files to enable the program. Any ideas on how to determine which files they might be or how to install the files via Activesync?
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
