Please help a Prophet newbie - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General

How do I install the Vista Lite theme on my Prophet? Do I need to download another program in order to put the files in their proper places/directories?
Thank you very much!

I think you need Wizbar. I don't know how to do it though.

download wisbar advance2 on ur pda then put the skin folder in the 'themes folder in the wisbar directory in ur pda' using file manager or activesync

installing programs w/o activesync

HI.. my xda2 bottom outlet/socket/chargersocket is broken. and the repair store said they cant fix it anymore because the connector w/ the mainboard is also broken.
i have 2003SE and thank goodness i stil have a backup of my xda in spritebackup. so everytime my xda reformats, i just restore it.
but my problem is, i only have few programs/games installed. and i want to install more. can i still install more? what do i have to do? can i still install wm2005?
thanks..
you cant install a new rom without activesync i believe
but you can install programs
just copy the cab files to a sd card and run them from there
most activesync install programs from windows can be renamed to zip and opend and then you can copy out the cab files

You can use My Mobiler.
With this program, you can display your PPC screen on your PC, and simply drag and drop CAB-files to your PPC. Don't forget to delete CAB-files after install, cause they are copied to \My Documents folder.
Why aren't you using the Windows Mobile Device Center from Microsoft? It's the Vista replacement for ActiveSync and supports all of it's old features and more.
Just drag n drop the CAB's to your device and install as normal...
Thanks for replying but it will be the same..i have to go delete once again the installed cab files n more over the cab files will be installed to the default installation directory even though there r programs to change the destination to storage card..the procedure is hecktic n tiresome
Depends on your target device really. In WM6 on my Kaiser, the device asks where I want the program to be installed to. And the file not auto-deleting afterwards is just a registry setting.

Then try to find the programs that have exe files and run them from your computer. This will be a lot easier to accomplish.
I understand what you mean... i used to install CAB files directly from my PC, i just connect my phone to my pc and i double click cab files in my pc and it install to my phone BUT unfortunately I formatted my PC and I cant find the CAB installer again.. i think i found it in HERMES forum, until now im searching but without luck!
Is there any program that creates a setup.exe file from a .cab file that works on vista?
When i had my pc with Windows XP i used PocketSetupCreator but unfortunaly it doesnt works on Vista!
wow another thread on this...but u can just copy the files on your memory either phone or card and then install and there are ways to make it so that the cab file will delete itself after u install it...whats wrong with that

cabviaactivesync does the trick

As mentioned before, you can set .cab files to auto-delete after install, with that set, use MyMobiler to drag and drop the file, and your done.

Pefect, I didn't realise this had been fixed. I had problems getting it to work on Vista the last few times I tried it. This is a great time saver for when I just need to install something quickly .

the cab file is on program folder or search in temp forlder

How to install Zipped EXE files?

hi guys..
seems like a n00b question..i know
but i downloaded some cool apps from handango which are made for Xperia..but i was unable to install them.
do i need to use Activesync for such files?...and if yes..i also tried to install activesync 4.5 but it says 'not for Vista'
any tips?
exe files can be
1. pda exe's which is not install files but the program itself
which you yourself have to copy to where ever you want it
and make a shortcut in programs yourself
2. windows exe's which use activesync on xp and Windows Mobile Device Center on vista
to copy the cabs to the pda and auto install them
in many cases those exe files are self-extracting zip files and one can just rename them zip and copy out the cab files one needs typically the arm one
thanks..i installed Windows Mobile Device center on my vista..connected X1 via USB and done!

do NOT unzip the downloaded .cab file , just copy this cab file to the storagecard of your phone , after that open file explorer on your phone and navigate to your storagecard , once there just tap the .CAB file and install it on the storagecard

install both cab"s
thanks for all your help
Keep in mind when using certain things that they have to be on the device directory and not the storage card. A few examples are cleanRam and registry editors because they need to be installed to the device to be able to perform the way you want and recognize the components it searches for.
