Editing .CAB files - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Ofcourse, al you guys know how to use cabwiz.exe, but I found a new, free program for making cab files and even desktop installers. See aperitto.com for more info. It looks nice from the screenshots, I will give it a try ASAP.

or wince cab manager

Win ce manager is not free
Thanks man

thats true, but on the net is everything, but you must know where to look.

I looked every ware but evey time it gives me that the trail period expired
Can u send PM regarding this
Thanks in advance.

I use WinCE Cab Manager. I love it. It was a tough one to find ;-)

winRAR goes into cab files if you need just a certain element.

creating reg edit cab file

i've looked around and i can't really find exactly what i'm looking for.
i want to create a cab file of a .reg file that will add all my special settings into the registry when i wipe my phone. i tried using winCE CAB but it is a pay program now.
any idea how to do this easily? I have a text file with the registry edits ready to go.
WinCE CAB Manager. Not free but great software. Try rapidshare maybe you get lucky.
thanks.
anyone willing to create a cab file with all the registry hacks in it for the forum? i'm looking at creating a xml file to create a cpf file seems to be a long way to go when wince cab would do it easy.

There are so many reg tweaks and not everyone needs or wants the same tweaks. There is no way to do this. Many tweaks are already posted in separate cabs. I made my own cabs for the same thing you suggest, but I do not know how you would take ALL the tweaks and make EVERYONE happy.
It is very easy to make them, either find the software or buy it for about $70 I think.
yea, i mean though pretty much most people use the same cab fixes. smsnosentmsg, bluetooth high quality, things like that.
i don't mind changing 1-2 parameters, but 3-4 people at work have the 8525 and i want to just make a cab to fix all the basic reg edits really quickly.
i'm still looking for wince cab, i don't want to pay 70 bucks to create 1 file. guess i'll try to make my own inf and cabwiz one.

I do not use either of these (smsnosentmsg, bluetooth high quality) So like I said pretty hard to make a one size fits all reg CAB tweak.

Check out the Wiki. You might find Fit4Cat is just what you are looking for.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
thanks, that does some of them that i was looking for. but mostly i just need a way to create a registry file, and integrate it sorta like you can on win XP with a .reg file.
i might try to get wince cab mgr. looks like exactly what i want to use. unless someone wants to hook me up
well i got wince cab working and i really like this. makes the initial restart from a reset a lot easier. having some problems with keys but mostly just user error. really great program.

JUST .cab FILES FOR THE HTC TMO WING. ALL IN ONE PLACE.

Decided to just post .cab files for the T-mobile Wing so they'll all be in one place instead of running all over the net. Feel free to add some if you like.
Some are not clear what they do from the file name:

Can only post so many at one time.
Thanks!
Here are some more:
These need to unzip or install .exe files to where you want to open them
Okay not .cabs but useful files to Wing users.

Skin cabs just install like other cabs. Just copy and paste thru Activesync to your Storage Card. Then run them from your phone. Soft restart and go.
Enjoy !!!!
Found some more:
Okay I took off the Directory Assistance .cab. Too many people having problems with it. Getting PMs with complaints, so I just took it off.
Two more:
If I find more I will post them.
these are all great... but is it possible to get a few descriptions??
thanks for your effort in uploading all of this cabs and zips
One note:
HTC Equalizer. After .cab install does not show up anywhere. Place this shortcut in Windows/Startmenu/Programs folder and it will.

Hi, would be happy to explain any of the cabs, do you have a question? My goal with this thread was to keep it short & sweet. Just .cabs so Wing owners would have a place to go get them. Most people are not into alot of reading.
Thanks!
What does the my faves message center cab do? Also, the directory assistance one.
Thank you.

some people don't use my favorite messages and want it off their phone -- this cab will do that -- removes my faves.
what I like about directory assistance cab is you can do a reverse lookup. If someone calls you and you have their phone number on your caller ID, plug in the number on reverse lookup and it shows you who it is.
Thanks for the quick response. I have the myfaves plan, but don't use the plugins and all the other myfaves stuff on my phone. Will this remove all the myfaves junk? And if it does, I still won't be charged for calls to and from those people, right? Hope these questions make sense.
This is a great thread, by the way. Thanks for all your work.

Hmm not sure how T-Mobile charges for my Faves. I don't have it on my plan so I wanted off my phone. Not sure answer to your question. sorry. If you have the plan I would suggest Not removing it from your phone. If you wanted to experiment you could remove them and see what happens but you may have to do a hard reset to get them back.
Thanks
Suggestion for .cab files
This is probably obvious but I'll suggest it anyway.
Once you have all the .cab files you want. Make a folder (named Cab Files) and put the folder on your micro SD Card. Except the disable delete cab.cab. Just put this one on your Storage Card and Run It First.
Then run all the .cab files from your Storage Card/Cab Files folder.
They will stay there and if you ever have to do a Hard Reset if will be really easy and quick to restore your phone the way you want it.
If you have a 4gb or 6gb micro SD card it will hardly take up any space at all.

Know how you get S2U2 on my device i have a ppc 6800.....i tryed downloading the zip link and it say's buy now or use registration code, i'm not sure what too do
I'm very new at this stuff and help is very wonderful
No offense, but you seem like an idiot. All of your posts have been really stupid. You may just be a troll, but you are fun to respond to.
If you seriously cannot figure out how to use S2U2 then I suggest you sell your device to me for $50 which will give you enough to buy a normal flip phone.

by the way, your thread on ppcgeeks. To install .cab files, connect your phone through activesync, hit explore and drag the cab file over. Then on your phone, using file explorer, navigate to the cab file and click it. It will install.

What link are you using? rapidshare has a free option.
use the following:
http://ac.xenpage.eu/S2U2-0.97-WM5.rar
Then download winrar, there is a trial version that lasts forever. open it, and drag the cab file to your phone.

Try this.

I've installed the one from this thread and it works.
The one from that thread was missing DLL files that I corrected.
yes duprade
it works like a charm ...yehhhhh

What did the missing DLLs do? I didn't have any issues with the first cab that was made.
your phone may have already had the DLL's ... depending on the Rom you are using.
Since the Cooks remove files from their roms as they please... some cooks may leave them and some may remove them ... so it just depends.
does that myfaves cab work on smartphones too or only touch?
The files I used were from PPC not smartphone. You may try asking over in one of the smartphone forums... maybe someone there has made a myfaves cab for the smartphone edition.
i just got myfaves today but it wont go into affect till midnight so my question is... does this cab automatically start the myfaves program?
nvm got it working
thnx for the cab!
Thanks!
Just wanted to thank you for this CAB file! Works great on my Wing. Thanks Duprade!
My Smartphone runs Windows Mobile 2003.
I was unable to install this cab - does anyone know the minimum OS necessary?
And if its WM5.0, can someone point me to how I can upgrade my phone to that OS?
Thank you.
I am running on Aserg's latest, and it's flawless. A couple of my friends also have no issues using it. Great work as usual. Thanks a million.
Duprade my faves

try using total commander or resco explorer to see hidden files/rom files.
still no luck. I downloaded resco explorer(which is awesome!) but I still cant find it. any more ideas from all you gurus out there?? It is an alltel touch not a sprint vogue if that makes any difference. thx guys!

Make sure you have Resco set to show all files. welcomehead.96.png is the file your looking for, on all devices I believe.
If you still can't find it, use a photo viewer, like S2V, and load the windows directory. Then you can browse through and find it visually.
you guys were right it was hidden. I just didnt see the option to show hidden files. but now it says this is a ROM file and cant be changed or deleted. is there anything I can do?
drop the new file (of the same name) in the windows dir. when it asks to overwrite, hit yes. that should work with resco. another [more complicated and dangerous] way is to unlock the extended rom.
hey it finally worked! Thanks for all the help guys. It looks great!
What did you replace it with? post the picture i want to see it, haha
sorry Ref cant get the screenshot to post from my phone, ill try to after while from my home computer. but if you wanna see it go search for [email protected]$, hes got all kindsa cool skins and images posted. He does really good work
Heres the screenshot of [email protected]$ splash screen
