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.
If your new to Pocket PC devices, check this out.
Regards,
Carty..
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?

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.

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.

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

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?

Just slide to the settings tab in TF3D and there you can select 'background'...

I use Resco File Explorer (not freeware) to copy and overwrite files. Had no issues. Though it costs, it is a must have program. Has a great registry edit that comes along with the purchase.

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

They are probably cooked in which means they cannot be deleted. I can however make a cab for you that would replace them with fake empty files.... All I would need is the names of the dlls.

or you could use total commander to change the names of the dlls to something else by doing this windows wont be able to call on them
