DialerSkin_Portrait* and DialerSkin_Landscap cab files

I have been playing around with phone skins and now have problems when I revert to the orginal WM5 dialer. Can someone please zip the indialer_*.bmp files, e.g. indialer_down_l.bmp located under the windows directory.
Alternatively is someone can post the DialerSkin_Portrait* and DialerSkin_Landscap cab files which are part of the extended rom that would be appreciated.
many thanks.

Here you go..

thankyou very much appreciated

It will not let me copy these files so has anyone got the DialerSkin_Portrait* and DialerSkin_Landscap cab files which are part of the extended rom?

Those files are not part of my extended ROM, so I'm afraid I can't help you anymore..
Good luck though!

hi i am new to this and i have a htc running windows 2003se could some one please tell me how to install the above file on my htc i have tried sending to my docs and pushing set up but no luck please help thanks

if it's a rtf file then it's not a program but a text doc

yust copy the file to your PDA.....

I think someone made a mess here. This file only contains a picture (yes picture) of a list of files apparently extracted from a cab .
If you have the original cab file and want to install it, just copy to PPC then click on it in file explorer.
This may not work if the cab was not designed for your OS.

How to copy file with 'ROM' attribute? (or how to change that file attribute?)

Hello,
I am trying to copy a file (from my smartphone to SD card), which have a 'ROM' attribute set and... it is impossible - acces denied is showed (even in Resco Explorer, Total Commander). I can't even change that attribute.
Please help me to find any solution
Best greetings,
RA

You should be able to extract files from the ROM file on your PC thanks to the tools provided in one of the sticky about ROMs modifications.

Unfortunatelly...

I have extracted an 'nb' file from my ROM file, but WinImage can't open it ("not FAT16, FAT32 file"). It is WM6 image file, what tools to open this 'nb' file?
Best greetings,
RA

I, too, am trying to find a way to copy some ROM attributed files.
Ultimately, I am trying to move/copy some apps from one smartphone (WM5) to another (WM6). Is there a way to copy them to a zip file and move the files that way or maybe even using a backup copy (i.e. using Sprite Backup?) and restoring to a different phone?
Any help or direction would be appreciated. If there is another thread out there, please be sure to point me to it since searching brings up a lot of different threads.

u need to extract the rom.

Funny, but you make it sound so easy... ;-) I've been searching to figure out how to do that and found some instructions I'm hoping I can follow for the one phone, but not sure it it will apply to the old phone (WM5). If I do manage to dump the ROM, where does it go and does it extract the files in cab format for easy upload?
Update: I found a file extractor at http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6700-xv6700/56057-6700-rom-dump.html which may have originally come from Buzz... (thanks Buzz!)? so now I have all the files and modules off the old phone, but am running into some issues installing. I can transfer the files indirectly, and can find the specific application file, but when trying to run the app, it tells me that it's still missing files to enable the program. Any ideas on how to determine which files they might be or how to install the files via Activesync?

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ER2003Edit
is there an other way to edit WM 6.1 images ?
(maybe i can drop them from the device in a format that can be open)

editing nbf files

To 0001 is good, 0001 been the full to the brim ! ( ffff???? ) is bad ! if bad do NOT flash to your device start buildOS again and unckeck something ealse read the readme or guide file carefully also explode has a kitchen out that's good search for kitchen on this site there's a assortment out there have fun REMEMBER be CAREFULL or you could brick your device however you edit a rom Most time if you screew up you can flash a 2003 shipped rom and alls well agian but if you flash a rom that's fare to big you will over wright your boot sector and that's NOT GOOD

I think I read some thing about dumping from the device ! But it's very complicated to do and if you get it wroung then it could damage your device Buzz-dev has a program called grabit see his site it copys the rom from the device to The SD CARD as a *.bin file then you dump that instructions are there, I have attached a zip i found on this site moded a bit for myown use it will dump BA or Hima put it in C:\ and right click it select extract here PS (you need winrar it's free just search xda site for it) My decompilers not complete but should give you some idear or how it works, You say u got explodes kitchen follow his instructions and build his rom when It says put your device in boot loader DON'T. Wait untill the build is finnished Press ctrl + C then look in upgrade folder and you should find an nk.nbf copy this to Swamp395Decompiler folder so you see it with PKGTool then double click BA_Disasemble.bat when that's finnished double click PKGTool.exe then "File" "open" from menu navegate to swampy395decompiler\dump click OK read screen then When that's finnished meun "tools""build packages" you should have some missing files if you look at the one called sys it should look simaler to explodes kitchen!! Then spend some time reading xda site good luck Remember the risk is all your bla bla no responcerbility ETC
I'm learning myself ! But if i can help i will, I'v been Building My own kitchen It's getting close but not got a booting rom yet but soon I HOPE
PPS pda viet rom Don't bump so well
swampy395

It works !
i easily put the nk.nbf file in C:\Swampy395Decompiler\ and start BA Disassemble.bat
a dos window opened and dump the rom in C:\Swampy395Decompiler\dump
all files of the rom are now in this folder and i can edit them.
but i have still some questions:
-how can i make a rom out of the files in \dump ?
-how can i edit registry files ?
-is there a way to change the rom language ?
greetings from germany

Just a quick thought you'v got a kitchen and a rom built in that kitchen put the rom back together as it is in the kitchen IE copy the layout you'll find some *.rug files missing download athers himalaya kitchens and read the help and guid files on how to build a kitchen and use explodes kitchen as a referance see if you can put it back together without copying files out of explodes kitchen If you manage that then you should be able to make a higher build kitchen of your own good luck

How to extract CAB files from a ROM?

Hey there,
I have a ROM that I flashed onto my phone, and there are some CABs that installed after I started the phone for the first time that I would like to get out of the ROM.
What is the best way to do this, if it is even possible. Sorry if this has been asked before or if it seems like a noob question.

Surely someone can help me? I've searched and can't find anything =(

Well, first you can begin checking in your 'windows' folder and copy those *.cab files from there. I think including the panelmanager.cab even.
The other cab files are probably 'made' by some of the people here.

Is there a way to extract all the CABs from the ROM, when the ROM is still on my PC?

theres a new program by dutty that unpacks any nbh file..so im guessing u can extract d rom and look for the cab u want..
