brain fart- installing black add-ons

Lurker and 2nd time post.
Hello!
Started developing my 8525 this week.Went with the Bulletproof 1.40 oil Hard SPL, Black WM6 2.5, Sim unlocker.
Question is this:
I need help loading the BlackWM6 keyboard fix. Do I do this from my desktop thru active sync, from the my docs on the phone or Manually?
Same goes for running the ADD-ON .cabs to allow cingular Video/ Realplayr fix.
Cant figure out the install. Googled and Forum searched 'keybord' couldent find the help.
Thank you!

Hate to say it but you need to read. Copy the CAB file to your device. Then open the CAB from the device. It will then prompt you to install. If it is something accessed intensely then put it on the device. If not then install it to the storage card.

Thank you. I know there is a tutorial for it somewhere but I cant find it.
The Files included in the Keyboard fix for the Black 2.5 will not execute on my Desktop or my 8525. I have them copied to my storage card and when I click on any of the files they tell me it is not associated and that I need to open the file from within the application..I dont know what program the files are associated to.

Are these *.cab files or *.zip files???
I thought they would act as cab files but they identify as 0csetup...001... 002.... 003
files not as cab or zip.

I dont know what your are running. Delete those a get the keyboard fixes which you need. What is the exact device you are using and the carrier? What keys are not working correctly? Where did you get those fixes??? If they are not *.cab files then dont run them.
Don't extract the cab files - copy them directly to your storage card and run them from there.
Yes That was the trick thank you. I had DLed them to my Desktop and tried to transfer the files in activesynch. DLed to my phone and it was golden.
Thanks for your patience.

You installed the HTC Album with file directory. I believe this version came from a Chinese phone and that is why it has the blocks. I read it on a diffrent page on the kaiser Forum.
Uninstall it and try downloading the HTC Album with out File Directory. You wont be able to search for the pics in your directory, but HTC Album will find them if you have them stored in the SD Card where the pics are being saved after you take them.
I will enclose one for you or any one that wants to try it, but there are other versions out there if you don't like this one.

You should have a ZIP program on your phone to unzip it. Just open the program and search for the ZIP file.
If you dont have a ZIP program go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371314
Go to the removed section on DCD's Second post and there is a Link to download the ZIP program.
If you need the touch flo cube you there are too many variations of the program.
Here are some threads on some CUBES but feel free to find one that fits you.

Program Folder Folder Icons

I was just wondering how we change these, as you can see Games has a custom icon with it also, and ive noticed that on custom firmwares it can also be done, but i dont actually know how to do it as i want my folders the same as those shown on the custom firmware :]
Anyone know?
Thanks

Hi,
Sorry but ypu have to use "Search" command... i've posted the same question some mounth ago....
I remember that it's a little difficult... you have to modify some .dll...
BYE, Bobo
yeah, i've found it, now to actually find a decent icon for an "Applications folder" which is similar to the "Games" folder!
we'll be happy if your sahre your new icon as well as the .dll's that should be modified... thx
go Here, if you want, i can make a cabfile of it.

How-To's For Nubs

Hi guys, this is my first windows mobile ever, and i've come on here and looked at all these threads for around 2 weeks now and id really like to start doing things!
I've looked at the *Leo hints and tips* and downloaded Resco, so i now know how to edit values and things in the root folder, but what i'm unsure about, and i'm sure all the new people to windows phones are to, is where to start?
I mean the phone reads .cab files, but say I download a .cab file, do i download it on my pc and put it on the phone, if so where to? After that do i have to click it, run it, what? Do i download it off my hd2 and it'll run? which I have done, but after installation, where is it stored if i want to open the file? What happens if i install a .cab and don't like it? Where is it for me to delete and how do I go about this? how do I uninstall things i've installed?
What im asking is, if there is a starting tutorial for these things, can it be a sticky because there are hundreds of threads on here and the search tool and my searching isn't finding what I really want...essentially...'HD2 for dummies...' guide.
sorry if this has been said before, or i'm expected to know these things, but if someone could point me and many others in a direction, or a sticky could be made, then id be one happy welsh man!
Cheers guys.
The simple answer to your question about cab files is that they're installers, just like you have on your PC. When it's installed, you can (if you wish) delete the cab file. (I keep all mine so if I upgrade my ROM then I can install things again without having to find the cab files all over again.) There's also "remove programs" in the windows settings folder, and you can uninstall apps from there.
Think of it more like a PC than a phone and you'll get on with it a lot easier.
Also, if it's windows you want help with then there's dedicated windows folders on this forum. Windows isn't specific to the HD2, so you will usually get better help in the more specific areas.
Other than that, just play with it and have fun.
Hope this helps
To install a cab you just need to copy or download it to your phone and then click on it. An installation wizard will then appear to take you through the installation process.
right okay, so the .cab i can delete as if it was a .exe file, but where do i save it on the phone for it to run, which folder?
When using file explorer and tweaking and installing .cabs, thats windows though i pressume? Not htc...

You can run the cab file from anywhere you like on the phone. If you're planning on deleting them after installing it really doesn't matter. Like I said, I keep my cabs (and would recommend it too!), so I have an "installers" folder, with sub-folders for different types of cab files.
Installers and tweaks are not specific to either windows or HTC - they could be either or both.
I personally keep all my cabs at Storage Card\Backup\CABs I transfer them to there from my PC, run them from there, save them there.
You can put them in any folder you like and run them from anywhere you like. There are no rules on where cab files need to be.
right okay, so i install a .cab file, say for example ive installed a new unlock slider, i change my mind and don't want that one anymore i would like the old one back, what do I do?

In that specific example, you'd have to check the thread where you got the new slider from. That's overwritten original files so obviously an uninstall doesn't recreate them. I tend not to install theme mods that can't be rolled back, purely because of this!
I've tried some alternative lockscreens before, and they definitely had the original files in a cab so you could undo it.
right okay. and for example if i was to install, i don't know, an additional button up onto the top bar by the start menu, how would I go about deleting?
Back to my OP, why is there no tutorial or hot-tips threads made as a sticky for people new to this stuff like I am?
