How to install .XML files??

How to install the .xml files bundled in the cabs.rar?? I do not know how to make the extrom run automatically after the HR so i have to install each cab file 1 by 1, can anyone help??

Use the ones in cabs2. Also make sure you know what are those .xml for (they are replaced with .cab (s) in cabs2)

xml files are a typicaly a formatted text file like html
not really binary exe programs files
some programs use xml files to store settings and data
maybe they need to be in a location the program in question
will look for them

Did you mean copy the .xml files to the location of the program file ??

use HTCustom1.7.cab

yup...

I am having the same issue. I keep seeing these .xml files. I am not a computer guru lol. Do I cut and paste it somewhere on my phone or what? I am so lost please help.

Same thing here on my side mixtape_butcha. I'm subscibed in an Universal forum and have to install a USB switch which is a folder containing an xml file. I asked many time a guide on how to use it but nothing came back.
If you happen to know how to handle it, let me know. I'l do the same with you.

first of all it is nice that you looked up a matching post yourself and obviously searched for a solution there, but...
if i get your problem right, it doesn't match the ones before. they were talking about .xml files that came with a cab file and stored the settings on how to install and execute.
you, however, talk about a subscribtion to a thread, meaning your xml file is an RSS feed, for which you need a special reader, since PIE is not a proper desktop browser and therefore does not handle feeds. but there is a lot of software out there to handle rss feeds. i personally use spb online 1.2, but there is also freeware, like this: http://www.dewantoro.net/search/pda+rss+reader+cab
i don't get the point with the usb switch though, maybe if that didn't solve your problem you should post further details about that issue and maybe post filenames or screenshots so we all know exactly what you are about to do.

You need not worry to install xml file if it comes with a cab. Cab file should be designed to use it automatically. xml files store usually configurable settings, it may be worth opening those files using any text editor like note pad or even IE to check the contents, that may help if any change is needed. But 99% chances are that you need not do any thing with those xml files.

I have found some people run in to this problem when they download a .cab file from the internet and once downloaded it is a .rar so you extract the .rar to find NOT .cab but .xml
Here is more about it and how to fix it.

I am trying to install a game on my MDA Vario IV , it does have .xml file. But no .cab files , only .000 file , .002 , .003 , and .004 files. How do i install this game then ? The installer is the .xml file.
EDIT : Nvm , fixed it , i needed not the files within the .cab file , but just the .cab file itself to extract in on my mobile.

Couple of things:
You are in the wrong subforum. This section is for the Blue Angel. You should look for the Blackstone (aka Touch HD) section.
Now, the file that you opened is a cab file. You don't need to extract the contents of a cab file. Just copy it to your device and click on it one. The cab will install everything, including the settings in the xml.
Good luck!

How to use and install things on your HTC Diamond.

Hi.
Can anyone of u plz tell me how to use open gl and how to install thongs like Diamond cubes themes and more. Plz teach me how to do this cuz i cant get this things to work. I wana use me htc for something funny not just use it like a phone.
plz help me if u can.

I am not an experienced person, but I try to answer you.
you need a file called CAB. Download the CAB file for a particular program.
Never unzip it. The CAB file itself acts as a exe file.
1) Sync your diamond to the PC with active sync.
2) copy the cab file to your diamond
3) double click on the cab file.
4) Install either on your ROM or internal memory
Good luck!

Google is your friend.

Thx guys for great help

I have been all over this site, ppcgeeks and sprintusers and maybe I am on brain overload, but I do not understand how to install manila files. I have done programs and cabs. I have all sorts of tweaks and changes on my diamond. I am trying to change just my icons. i have downloaded many of the files that people create, but cannot figure out where to get them to install. any help anyone could pass on will be sooo appreciated. I have Diamond TF3D Config, I have Diamond Tweaks and I have PHM RegEdit...what am i missing?

I have the same question as Kndracing. Dont know what to do with the manila files.

Copy them to your \Windows folder with Resco Explorer or Total Commander.

so why use total commander and not just drag the manila into window\, pls. fill me out with more details. Thank you.

Because ActiveSync/File Explorer can't copy files with System attribute and Total Commander can. Apart from that, it is a way better file manager than the system one. And unlike the desktop version, it is free.

[REQ] Sprint Slider

Hi, i was just wondering if anyone could post this please tried searching only found full themes :/. Thanks

*bump* anyone please?

Here ya go
Just place into your /windows folder with Total Commander

Thanks Alot, this completes my manila overhaul heh..

What does this file do (stupid question maybe)?

k is it just me or does that zip file not work? if i extract it on my desktop the file is empty. if i just open the zip file i can see the manila file but not open it. if i put the zip file on my phone it will not open or extract

well figured it out, had to turn on option in vista to see system files. weird cause i have messed with many manila files and never had to do that. loaded it and it did not work for me. it just offset the icons in the tabs but did not change the look. funny thing is i have a sprint touch pro but have jds rom but just want the sprint icons. so i had them stock, gave them up, now want them back

this cab, click me from this post worked for me, click me

It sounds like you had first opened the cab file (on your PC desktop maybe?) and are trying to run the setup.xml file inside the cab, instead of the cab itself. Copy JUST the single .cab file over to your phone's card, and click that to run it.

yeah like sirphunkee said, do not unzip the downloaded files before transferring them to your phone.
TRANSFER THE FILE AS IT IS, and RUN ONLY THE .cab files from the phone. No other extensions.

Thanks for the help that is what I was doing wrong I was unpacking them again thanks for the help
