thnaks for all help

I think you might be having the same problem i did for a while. I knocked up a seperate voice installer to put the voice files in the right place. feel free to give it a go.

helo . is this the portuguese voice ?

'fraid not, it's the english one.

I dont now how to do a ´cab ....can you do for all of us Portuguese guys..??

You can edit his file with wince cab manager! and drag the voice files you want installed in this cab

Ok.. but where i put this cabs ???

In the CAB files, you'll have a file called dataXX.CHK. Put that file in this folder on your device:
Code:
\TomTom\TomTom
for version 5.10, it has to be under that full path.
for version 5.00, it has to be under \TomTom.
I believe it's a typo in their software, but that's the only way I got any of the voices to work.
Just create a folder called TomTom on the root of your device, then create another folder under it also called TomTom. Finally, copy your CHK file into that folder. You can also copy the dataXX.BMP and dataXX.VIF files into that folder, but that's optional.
That's it!

Strange...i belive that i need a folder voices....

1. download wince cab manager
2. open voice**.cab with wince cab manager
3. open files in this voice cab
4. extract data**.chk out of the cab, by dragging it to a new folder
5. determine which *.vif file (also in the folder voice on your cd) is linked to your voice**.cab (in your case porf.vif (female) and porm.vif (male))
6. rename the porf.vif or porm.vif file to data**.vif (** is the number of the voice file) and copy he file to your new folder
7. open tintoy.cab
8. open files in this cab
9. drag data**.chk and data**.vif into this cab
10. save tintoy's cab file
11. execute this file in your pda

you can also make a folder voices and put the chk and vif file in there
\voices in the root of the device

when you have winrar is shows cab files as archives

no it does not have anything say .cab i only see setup.xml that is it.when I click on that to install with my wing it open that folder all I see is words and symbols.

Lol, that's what is usually inside a cab. An xml and a few other files. Just run that "rar" on your device and you'll be fine and if you want, you can just rename the file to xxxxxx.cab instead of rar.

my device does not have Winrar to extract the files.I only can extract with my desktop.after extract it,it replace as a folder.I have tried rename that folder as xxxxx.cab and copy it to my storage card via Activesync.when I open that file to run,it does not install as like other file such as google map from google site.am I dumb or what

If the IFonz cab is compressed as a rar file, use winrar on your computer to open the rar file. You can download winrar for free - just google it. Once you have opened the rar file with winrar you will see what looks like another rar file inside. This is the cab. Do not open this. Simply drag and drop this to your desktop *or wherever you want on your computer* and then place that on your device. then use your device and navigate to where you placed the cab and simply click on it to install.

HotRod you are the genesis.I have been trying to figure it out for days.you make it so clear even a dummy like me can learn Thank Bro.

really newbie question - install software

hi.. i download a few program for my nike.. all in winzip files.. so how i want to install to my nike? using sync? memory card? tq..

The files inside the zip's should be cabs - extract these, stick them on your SD Card & put back in the phone, browse to the file with File Explorer & just click the file & hopefully it should launch. Some cabs require a reboot after installation so don't be surprised if it asks you to do i

thanks bro.. find some zip file contains exe icon.. but some zip files does't support by winzip.. so cant open it..

.cab - should be open on PPC
.exe - on Desktop (sometimes on PPC)

.rar files are archived files (compressed files)
you can unpack them with winrar, on the pc, or with winrar for ppc (for unpacking with the device itself)
the best way to unpack these .rar files is on your pc, and then copy the .cab file to your ppc, to start installing the game.
or use the instalation program included in the .rar file if it is an .exe file
a program will be installed to your pc, and the program will install and copy everything to your ppc.
if the game has no installation, only an .exe file and some data files, copy al the files to a new map on your ppc and click on the .exe (with an file explorer)
grtz.

download it on your phone, then connect your phone to a pc transfer the file to the pc and install it that way?

I've never felt so stupid. I've got Unrar on my computer and it seems to be unacking things, but it does it in a heartbeat and then I don't know where it's sending the unpacked files; i can't find them anywhere. where the heck do I look. The program doesn't seem to have a screen or any functions; it's doing something in the background AND making me feel like an idiot. Anyone got a "Well duh!" to help me blush?

right click the rar file and click extract here.
It will extract it to the same location you have the rar file.

[Q] how to install games

hi guys
i know i may sound like a dim wit but how do i install games on my touch2 from the computer.
if its just a .cab file im able to install but if its a jar file or a zip file with more than one file then how do i install it from my comp.
pls pls pls pls someone help me!!
i will be very thankful.
thanks in advance.
edit: actually im not able to install .cab file either.

First assume you have your mobile connected to PC via activesync.
Transfer cab file to your phone through file explorer. In file explorer of your phone under "my documents" you find cab file. Double tab on it and file opens. Say "yes" when asked if you want to install program.
A winzip file you have to unzip and after that there is another cab file or a file you have to open from your PC. In many cases there is a readme file included.
A jar file you can open with program winrar or pocketrar. Than propably you find a readme file aswell with more instructions.
If not clear let us know.
