[Idea] Combine .cab files

I love flashing But I hate installing all my apps again!!! And it is not a good idea to restore backups made on ROM's other than the one you have just flashed, because this will screw up your device even more than usual...
So I was thinking... is it possible to combine several .cab files into one big .cab file and install everything all in one go??? And maybe also include some reg tweaks??? And the options to install them on internal memory or on the device??? This would make my flashing life a lot easier...
Is this possible?

I believe there is a program called SASHIMI which can do that - in a sense but it doesn't 'combine' cab files... It's here on xda - Have a search for it.

hmmm, aparently mr. Sashimi di'n't make friends with the XDA moderators...
Anybody have this Sashimi for downloading somewere?

I love this idea... where can we find such apps??
I've searched through the forum and apparently the author bengalih
had been Banned

Found it... Sashimi resides here now...
http://www.winmo-experts.com/viewforum.php?f=7&sid=fb743f06678dbc7791b48338d67997e0

learning how to use right now. ....

HELP needed
Apparently Sashimi is a very useful app, especially for people who love to try out different roms. I think the author is brillant enough to be able to compile such work.
I have DL and installed sashimi into my internal storage, went through the tutorial posted on youtube and it works out well.
One question which kept bothering me ... how do i create *.reg file?
I have many program which requires username and password. I do not wish to re-enter them manually everything i flash my rom.
How do I create them and instruct sashimi to install automatically for me?

How to install themes?!

Sorry for the stupid question but I'm Turkish and my English is not enough to really understand all of this...
I just got a Touch 3G and want to install themes. I searched for hours now in the net for themes and how to put them but yeah...
gladly I found this site and got lots of nice themes from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425974
I just noticed I need Manilla 2D, whatever that is. But the page I got sent to doesn't really give me that, where can I find it?
I allready downloaded some themes but I don't know where to put them on my phone. My WM6.1 software on pc doesn't want to work, I access my phone memory straight from pc. Where do I put the themes?

manilla2d means tf2d so you already have it. you need manilla2d customizer to install the skins.

The link you downloaded has already given clear instructions hoe to install the team. Please read .....
reproduced here
"The below skins are in ZIP, CAB or M2DCT format, if its a ZIP just copy its contents to the Windows folder, CABs are simply installed and M2DCT need Manilla 2D Customizer by mpenguin14 , its a theme manager with preview and much more! Some of these skins were made for previous versions of M2D so, for maximum compatibility use the M2DC."

ok but I don't have any windows folder on my phone. Should I create one?

There is, but you can not see it due to some configuration on your PC (system files are hidden probably)..
Another easy way; you can copy temporarily to any folder, then in order to move to windows folder, you can use PPC's own file explorer or utulise another file manager soft which is better -if you do not have, install it first- called "resco" or "total commander".
I am also a Turkish, if you need more help PM to me..

My active syn programm allways made a mistake, so I downloaded this Windows Mobile-Center 6.1 for Windows Vista. It works this time but when I connect my phone to pc it doesn't recognize my phone. It says no connection?

I don't mean to *****.. But if you can't get something basic like conencting your phone to your pc top work and i guess are unable to use the search on this site let alone google, i think you shouldn't mess around with customising your phone.. You *could* really mess it up if you don't know what your doing.

Newby

i know this is a newby question but how do you put these app or themes onto your HTC Diamond

you download the file on your computer, and sync your phone with your computer, than drag the file into your device internal storage

There are a couple of ways.
If the file is a .CAB file, it is the easiest the do.
Just download to your computer and sync to your phone like earlier explained and just install it on your phone (doubleclick or open)
if it is an .EXE file, it might be that you need to install it on you pc, while your phone is synched.
it will then automaticly install on your phone as well.
but most files here are cabs, so if you have internet on your phone, just download them immediatly to your internal storage and ryun them from there
easy as pie

ok so i downloaded it to my computer and then synced it to my phone but i how do i install it to make my screen appear that way. Thank you so much for all the help

Is it a cab file that you have downloaded? or another type of file?

i don't know its the Vista_Ultimate_Theme

i don't know if it will help but i just got my Diamond so I haven't figured everything out on it yet just wanted a new theme.

i just wanna change my theme cause the standard one is boring to me so please if anyone could help thank you so much.

What ROM are you using? You might have to update that for it to work.

Apps Installation

Helo everyone. I'm new to the forum and to Windows Mobile. I hope this question is in the correct place....don't want to get bashed on my first post. I have searched for about an hour now for the answer to my question but I can't find anything that relates to my problem. I am trying to install a converter..."Pocket Converter 1.50" on my TMobil USA HTC HD2. After downloading the cab file into a folder...a screen pops up that says "installation of Pocket Converter 1.50 was unsuccessful". OK...I then tryed one called "MSS Converter 1.08. Same thing happened with it too. I have successfully installed other apps so I was wondering what might be the problem.

I have had the same issue a couple of times. I think sometimes the download gets corrupted. I just redownload and usually the app will install.

Thanks for replying......I've downloaded these 2 apps numerous times and on different days but still no luck. Do you think I could download them to my computer then copy them over to the phone and install?

That may be a good idea, other than that maybe try and download from another source. I think also some apps have issues with the hd2.

signman, do you have links to the exact cabs you tried, so I can test them on mine?
What kind of converter program are those? If they're for converting units of measurement, I use the uConvert app which works great on the HD2, and was developed by an xda member...I've attached the cab here for you to try if that's what you're looking for.

i used to have this happen to me all the time when i downloaded the cab directly from my hd2. Try using a pc to download it then transfer via usb and install. Hope it works!

Sorry for taking so long to post back...as I couldn't find my post!
The links to the apps I am trying to download are as follows...
Well since I'm a new user....I can't post the links..I got them from freewarepocketpc.net
I finally got the MSS Converter downloaded and installed from another website. Can't remember where I got it. I'm going to try to get your posted cab directly to my phone and try that one. Well that didn't work. Installation says it was unsuccessful. Maybe I have to do it like jfmckenna has suggested. Thanks for helping me out guys...I really appreciate it.

If all these installs are failing, I'm guessing you're either missing the NetCF 3.5, or the sdkcerts cab, both are attached below. These are necessary to run many of the apps/cabs you'll find here and at other sites like freewarepocketpc.net. Just put the cabs on your SD card (I recommend just putting all the ones you install in a folder there for easy reference later), and run each one, then you'll probably be able to install the stuff that was giving you issues.

cab files
I've downloaded the cab files you posted but the NetCFv35 says I have to first remove the older version. How do I remove the older version? I know nothing about Windows Mobil...sorry.

Right...I forgot that it was already loaded on the stock ROM, you can skip that signman.
m'lord, I would suggest installing the sdkcerts...it will probably be necessary for you at some point if you're installing any homebuilt apps. I suspect that most custom ROM's would have it built in.

Humm...if it is the same version I already have on the phone...wonder why it is telling me to remove the older version first. Where can I look to see what version I have on the phone?

Flash Lite
Sirphunkee. I managed to get your uConvert installed but it is trying to install Flash Lite. That install does not work...I get a "error installing Flash Lite". Is there anything else I can do? I downloaded Flash Lite to my computer and copied it to my phone. Still won't work.

I used a Flash Lite cab file posted on the forum for my fix. Thanks everybody for your help.

Ok good, I'm glad you got it working (I'd forgotten it wants flash light installed to get it to work). Does uConvert cover everything you need then?

how to install Copilot?

Maybe its quite a silly question, but how do you actually install CoPilot? I copied the folders 2577 and copiloy on my sdcard, and when i tap on autorun.exe, i am getting like a popup "Complete Action Using", and i can select an application. Should i have someting installed to run this exe?
Thanks for your help

errmm you buy it, and it installs on your phone, then when you open up co pilot it will start downloading all the files, no one on here will tell you how to illegally install it on your phone.

HAH. gl getting a WINDOWS (exe) application to run on your android phone.

I did buy it, and got to download 2 folders, 2577 and copilot, but it did not install automatically. So it said to tap on autorun but did not open. Guys I need help so serious replies please. It is a legal copy, I also have the order number

If you got a legal copy you must do following steps:
- copy the folder copilot to the root of your SD Card (2577 is only for windows mobile phones!)
- go to http://www.copilotlive.com/androidinstall with your android smartphone and download+install the latest copilot.apk
- start the now installed copilot (it will extract a few things)
- register your copy
- have fun with it !
Regards
Mike

Thanks Mike
That's the kind of reply i was looking for
Will do what you said and see what happens
Thanks

You will have to excuse most peoples reactions.
Cop-Pilot is probably the most Warez'd application on android, and usually its the people with trouble installing that have the illegal copies.

Yeah but I still think that anyone can judge just on a simple question. I am new to all this, I come from a windows background, and I pretty well knew that .exe cannot run on Android. However the instructions I was seeing on the CoPilot site said specifically to tap on the autorun file. It did not say that its windows only. Anyways I downloaded the apk from their site and everything is working brilliantly now. My opinion to all this is, if you have no advice or help to offer, then why even bother to waist people's time?
