OCP CAB Manager sucks!!!
OCP CAB Manager sucks!!!
It is only good for opening other .cabs, if you want to extract something out of it... and it costs lots of MONEY for such a crap...
Use Cabwiz instead. It is free as it is part of the PocketPC SDK.
You will need to create .inf file, where you can specify, what should be copied, to which location and so on.
below is zipped version of one of my apps as a sample. )
Once you have your .inf ready, simply drag and drop it onto CabWiz icon...
Here (http://www.sundialsoft.freeserve.co.uk/cabinfo.htm) is a perfect guide, how to write .inf files for CabWiz....

I'm not sure where you got the idea that WinCE CAB Manager can't create new CAB files. It certainly can, and it's a whole lot easier than Cabwiz.

Use WinCE Cab Manager. It's simple as working with a ZIP/RAR archive. Drag & drop supported for file edition & replacements.
Any help
Ok guys, I downloaded the OCP Software, that is great and all, but I would actually like to know what code is used and if there is something that will allow me to learn how to write the code. I do know a little about writing in VB 6.0, I know that is not a widly used program code. So if anyone could help me please, that would be great. Thanks

Hi,
This might sound stupid but I have searched all over for a program that lets me extract/read .cab files for PPC and change some settings to create a new one. Can anyone help me with the programs/links for such programs that I can use to extract and remake .cab files?
Thanks!

ZipGenius does CAB as well as RAR, 7-zip, and more, and its Free. I've pretty much dumped Winzip over ZipGenius.
http://www.zipgenius.it/
I just reread your question... ZipGenius will extract but I don't believe it will make or update PPC CABs. (I've never tried that, just used it to pull cabs apart to see whats in them)

I'm Really Having A Hard Time Trying To Install A Theme On My Diamond,would Somebody Plz Help Me Out?
1,use TF3D config
2,use winrar unpack *.theme, then copy to windows
thnx man i'll give it a shot,i'm used to wm5 so touch flow is totally new 4 me,there's a little issue though.
i couldn't apply a background picture
thnx man,it worked,unlike wm5 it took way too long
I still don't know why theme creators don't make a cab file of their themes. The only thing a theme is made of are manila files. With a cab file you also don't need the TFL3D config program. Simply click the .cab file on your device and you're done.
@ Theme makers: there is a application named Qickcab.exe. Cabs are so easy to use and you get rid of all the repeating questions on how to install .theme files.....

I think it's already a great favor that the theme creators make all the gorgeous themes and generous enough to share them with us (they could keep the glory to themselves, look at those gold and diamond themes. We could have been drooling at them instead of showing them off on our diamonds). Do you think we are asking a bit too much to ask the theme creator to make the new theme and then ask them, "why don't you make the .theme file as I don't bother to convert the .png to manila files? Why don't you make the .cab file even saving my time to install diamond config?" I think as fellow xda-developers who know what to do, we can help out by making them instead of asking the creators to do it themselves. Or create yet another sticky faq to explain it. imho. Anyway, I bet even when .cab is created, somebody would still post a question asking what to do with the .cab he downloaded.
I fully agree but its a hard work too to copy all files to windows folder...a theme file or cab isnt so much price to do for them. I think..maybe anyone of them dont know how to do it so why dont advice them...
Ok, sorry guys, in my previous posting it wasn't my intention to piss the theme creators off. I respect their hard work. But I find it a bit strange the way .themes have to be installed. First you have to install TFL3D config utility and then you have to make some additional steps to install a theme. Why not keep it simple and create a cab file of the theme ?
I think the knowledge of the theme creators is good enough to also find out how to create a cab file out of it.
Also creating a cab is a 3 click process. Takes only 30 secs extra
Will make a short guide how to make a cab in a moment.
The reason i make theme files instead of cabs is the file size..
I agree cab files is much easier, but they just get too big with a cab!
I use cab files for minor changes, like a clock or some icons...
exampel..
Vista Ultimate Theme.theme - 1560kB
Vista Ultimate Theme.cab - 9070kB

Ok that's a big difference. But How many files are in your themes ? Do you put all the manila files in it, or just the changed ones ?
In the end both will be 9070kB But I got your point.
theme file is much better than cab which cant be always uninstalable (experience with some clocks fot TF3D) and it isnt for me such a sacrifice to such a great themes to install this user friendly program

I have about 450 files... And I made it as small as possible..
It's not just the image files...
And it depends on who is installing it...
If you have the same TF3D as I have it would be enough to just install the changed files...
but If you have another TF3D you have to replace some other files too...

I think copying manila files is easier than installing as .theme (I haven't tried .cab so I can't say anything on that). I usually do it via bluetooth. All I need to do is to beam the relevant files (via bluetooth) and then move them to /windows (using Total Commander because you can select a batch of files to move instead of one-by-one). It doesn't take much time as the relevant files are not a lot (e.g. for the gold diamond theme, just fewer than 20 files). Simple drag and drop will do.
so first of all there is 200+ files so you have some lite version maybe
the second thing...Im using resco exp which is the best for me and every replace file in ROM i have to confirm very stupid, common File explorer is the same and I wont install another explorer just for installing themes...
Guys,guys,all That Is Good But I Still Didn't Get The Answer,why Can't I Put The Background Picture That Comes With The Theme In Th Background ? It Just Gives Me A Plain Background

200+ files for a theme? Well, I have tried the darkred/darkblue, gold, gold with diamond themes and they only have <20 files involved (all found in the thread Themes for TouchFlo3D). Where did you get the 200+ file theme? And don't use Resco exp. Use Total Commander instead. I have both on my diamond and Total Commander has an option "yes to all" (similar to Windows replace command) and all I need to do is to select the group of files, find the directory to move to and then "move" then "yes to all" and done. Just a few clicks on the diamond will do.
Or alternatively, you can wire connect your diamond to the PC and move everything from your pc (so that you don't need to touch any primitive file explorer on your diamond).
guys,r u gonna keep arguing & not answer my question,i installed a theme & came out very good but without the background,so how can i apply the background to it?

hi.. sorry about that
Just slide to the settings tab in TF3D and there you can select 'background'...
You have to copy the background file to your phone first
thanks man,although it looks like it's very obvious but touchflo is a new thing to me i'm used to wm5
Here is my first theme-real black with transparent clock, curtains and programs tab.
SICK, this is what i wanted
oi this just saved my day
looks nice gonna give it a try
freaking awsome it saves battery this theme thanx
Sorry to sound stupid, but how do you install this theme?

1 unzip and put it memory
2 disable touch flo
3 then copy it in windows folder via rescoe file explore or total commander
Not sure if I followed that correctly, but it doesn't seem to work...
I unzipped the file - it's .theme, not .tsk as the other ones in the Windows folder on the Diamond seem to be?
I then disabled Touch Flo 3D through Settings -> Today, and then copied the theme into the Windows folder on the phone. The Today screen disappears, but even after switching the phone off and on again I don't get the new theme?
Have you re enabled TF3D
Hmmmmmmmm ...
I think it need to be installed with TF3D config ...
agree the upper one
Really really really nice...thanks, dude..

to answer both of you .theme files dont work on all phones, it is something to do with the manila version (i think, but then i dnt really care if im wrong as i know a solution lol)
the solution is simple, rename it to .zip, unzip it, then copy all those files to your windows folder.
many themeing products use zip's disguised as other file extensions, for example, if you download some icons from stardock for use with the iconpackager, and you dont have the iconpackager software, download the icons and rename them from ***.ip to ***.zip then extract them as a zip.
remember anything in a package is compressed, the most common form of compression is zip, if that dont work, then rar!
hope that helps

dope theme, great on batt save, and classy..just the way i like the themes.
i cant mess with it tho..if it aint in TF3D format, it aint for me.
Late,

You must rename file to .theme and install via tf3d config.That is all.

Still can't get this to work
I really like the looks of this theme but can't get in on my Fuze.
It seems to go through the motions of installing it from TF3D config, but after the final reboot and turning touchflo back on, I get a mostly white theme with a screwy clock.
Not sure what you mean by "rename it to .theme" when it already is.
And your fix of renaming it to .zip and then unzipping just gets me 361 zip error messages and an empty unzip folder.

then you are unzipping it wrong, i have been doing this with .theme files ever since someone decided that it was a good idea to use them..
(its not a good idea BTW because you have to have an old version on manila to run the .theme)
just rename the file to .zip and extract it. it not hard:
1: Download real_black.zip
2: Extract and get real_black.theme
3: Rename real_black.theme -> real_black.zip
4: EXTRACT
(i know this works as i have just done it before typing this last sentence!!)

I read through this thread and followed how to install but it didn't work out for me. I even tried the TF3D config. Can someone help me out a more step by step little new at this stuff. Would really appreciate the help.

I made a Family Guy them for both TF3D & S2U2, and I wanted to share it. Below also are some ringtones and wallpapers.
Also added icons for roms with HD manila. Includes stock, calendar, and sound profile icons.
To Install the TF3D files:
1. Download and unzip the folder to your desktop.
2. Copy and paste all of the files into the \Windows folder on your device.
Say yes to all when it asks if you want to replace these files.
3. Soft reset and you're done.

To install the S2U2 files:
1. Download and unzip the folder to your desktop.
2. Find the S2U2 folder on your device, it's usually in Program Files on the device's main memory.
3. Drag the gfx folder to your PC desktop to save it and then delete it on the device.
4. Copy the new gfx folder into the S2U2 folder.
5. Soft reset and you're done.

Ok, so I am going to sound like an idiot but I don't know so I'm gonna ask anyway
When #2 says "paste all files into the /Windows folder on your device" is that one you create with the / or is it just the Windows folder on My Device? That folder has soo many files in it so it seems like youo would lose those files if you wanted to delete one day... And I have not installed a theme this way. I have done cab file themes and done the TF3D route, but not the manilla way...
Someone wanna help this poor soul? lol, thanks!

There are places on XDA to get the original theme back, or you can drag all of the manila files from the windows folder into a folder on your PC to copy them and save for later. Yes you put them in the windows folder with all of the files in it. Just drag over from PC desktop to windows folder and soft reset.
Any chance of making it a .cab or .theme extension
