This tab was only working in WM6, but with the guide posted in this thread it's possible to have it also in WM5
WM5?
I tried it, but on WM5 it doesn't do anything?
It also does not work for me.
It only produces a huge empty space on my Today-Screen.
I am using WM5
This one won't work for wm5. There is a thread somewhere on xda-d for a wm5 working version. Don't have the link on me, sorry.
It worked for me and I am using WM5. I just followed the directions.
But I cannot find the weather xml file anywhere...
For some reason the Message tab keep bringing up MMS and it used to default to Outlook.
Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing?
Thanks
Joe
Where do I find HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml ??
my HTC p4350 works OK,and it is WM5.
change HTCHome.dll.0409.mui
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx
with you language
for example:
my 4350 is chinese .
and i change HTCHome.dll.0409.mui to HTCHome.dll.0804.mui
Reboot
if you 4350 is english ,dont change.
and it is OK.
sorry my english.
german code
the LCID for germany is 0407
hah ,if you 4350 is works ,please let more man use it .
Awesome board you guys have here, I'm loving everything I'm finding. Two questions-
1. Where can I find the H_0409_WeatherCities.xml file? I searched the board and google, no luck.
2. How can I change the color on the start menu bar, and the bar at the bottom with the soft keys? I want to make them black, to match.
Appreciate the help.

How to install the .xml files bundled in the cabs.rar?? I do not know how to make the extrom run automatically after the HR so i have to install each cab file 1 by 1, can anyone help??
Use the ones in cabs2. Also make sure you know what are those .xml for (they are replaced with .cab (s) in cabs2)
xml files are a typicaly a formatted text file like html
not really binary exe programs files
some programs use xml files to store settings and data
maybe they need to be in a location the program in question
will look for them

Did you mean copy the .xml files to the location of the program file ??
use HTCustom1.7.cab
yup...
I am having the same issue. I keep seeing these .xml files. I am not a computer guru lol. Do I cut and paste it somewhere on my phone or what? I am so lost please help.
Same thing here on my side mixtape_butcha. I'm subscibed in an Universal forum and have to install a USB switch which is a folder containing an xml file. I asked many time a guide on how to use it but nothing came back.
If you happen to know how to handle it, let me know. I'l do the same with you.

first of all it is nice that you looked up a matching post yourself and obviously searched for a solution there, but...
if i get your problem right, it doesn't match the ones before. they were talking about .xml files that came with a cab file and stored the settings on how to install and execute.
you, however, talk about a subscribtion to a thread, meaning your xml file is an RSS feed, for which you need a special reader, since PIE is not a proper desktop browser and therefore does not handle feeds. but there is a lot of software out there to handle rss feeds. i personally use spb online 1.2, but there is also freeware, like this: http://www.dewantoro.net/search/pda+rss+reader+cab
i don't get the point with the usb switch though, maybe if that didn't solve your problem you should post further details about that issue and maybe post filenames or screenshots so we all know exactly what you are about to do.
You need not worry to install xml file if it comes with a cab. Cab file should be designed to use it automatically. xml files store usually configurable settings, it may be worth opening those files using any text editor like note pad or even IE to check the contents, that may help if any change is needed. But 99% chances are that you need not do any thing with those xml files.
I have found some people run in to this problem when they download a .cab file from the internet and once downloaded it is a .rar so you extract the .rar to find NOT .cab but .xml
Here is more about it and how to fix it.

I am trying to install a game on my MDA Vario IV , it does have .xml file. But no .cab files , only .000 file , .002 , .003 , and .004 files. How do i install this game then ? The installer is the .xml file.
EDIT : Nvm , fixed it , i needed not the files within the .cab file , but just the .cab file itself to extract in on my mobile.

Couple of things:
You are in the wrong subforum. This section is for the Blue Angel. You should look for the Blackstone (aka Touch HD) section.
Now, the file that you opened is a cab file. You don't need to extract the contents of a cab file. Just copy it to your device and click on it one. The cab will install everything, including the settings in the xml.
Good luck!

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.
hi all, i recently seen a nice spb calc diamond skin, and i decide to make my own much more like manilla dialer (white), hope you like it !
Portrait AND landscape .
screenshot:
as usual install spbcalc wich is in the zip, then copy the 2 gifs to your /windows
EDIT: you must copy the 2 gifs files with file explorer like resco or total commander FROM YOUR DEVICE, don't use activsync!!, when do it properly the system must ask you : are you sure to replace existing files ? then answer yes to all, this way it should work...
EDIT 2: QVGA conversion by vitornog SEE PAGE 3 !!!
EDIT 3: "Ready to use" CAB file by Rondol1 on PAGE 4,thx man !!
EDIT 4: Updated portrait (with smoother fonts) see attached zipped gif, copy it in windows folder...
EDIT 5: FINAL VERSION SEE: SPB CALC MANILA STYLE FINAL.ZIP, I have not included QVGA in this version cos the image quality is not good in QVGA and i don't have a QVGA device...Installation as usual...Waiting for someone to make a "ready to use" CAB
EDIT 6: Now with cab installer , many, many thanks Rondol1: thanks to him just install the cab and voila !!
Updated with landscape mode...
Cool, now a new Manilla skin for the windows Agenda?
Thanks man nice job.
Cheers.
thank you for saving us from the ugly moth*r fu*er wm skin calculator!
why can they do a decent skin for such a common but useful application? why?
thanks for your great effort, I'm going to give this a try, I like it, it's simple and clean interface.
It doesnt work. I get the black skin that comes with the .cab .. but not this skin. I copied the Gif in to Windows folder .. what have i done wrong?
may be try a soft reset (if not already done)
...did the system ask you to replace the old gifs ? if not, you surely unzip in wrong folder or apply path when unzipping, the gifs must be in windows folder not in windows/spbcalc.../
please check, and tell us.

same for me on my diamond, & I've already copied the 2 attachment skin files to window folder, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I had the black background too, this was when I tried to copy the images via activesync into windows, it did not prompt for overwrite.
I copied the files onto the internally storage, then copied them and pasted them into windows folder on the device using file explorer on the phone, it then prompted if I wanted to overwrite.
It works with the method I just did.
how do you get into landscape mode?

now, from everyone's response, the skin is not like the screen cap as shown, right?
Hi, the cab is working, you just have to install and then copy the two gifs in windows folder but not from activesync, i do this by the file explorer in my diamond and Voila! ça marche...

Hi guys.i have made 2 splash screens which are ported from windows 7.but i added some notes with photoshop.2 sound files (xp startup and shutting down) are available in a zip file.hope to enjoy it
you can rename the picture name to welcomehead.png and put it in windows folder or you can install advanced configuration tool v3.3.use this app to change the the startup splashscreen,startup .WAV file and shutdown .WAV file (recommended)...
NOTE: Download "480.800 pictures.zip" if u wanna have the real 480.800 resolution...

And these are 2 wallpapers u can use as your wallpaper (included in the attachment of post1)
Where do you put the splash screens at....I am not sure where I would save them so that they show up when I launch
Actually these are pretty cool, thanks!
Think you could also work on black-themed Windows 7 splashes and wallpaper?
Much appreciated.
can someone make this into a cab please.
thanks
where r the files?
Nice work there, inspired me to change my wallpaper, so I came up with this:
drhadr.qsb.cz/stuff/black_win.jpg
drhadr.qsb.cz/stuff/black_win.png
drhadr.qsb.cz/stuff/black_win2.png
Turned out to be slim and elegant as a bg too
If anyone wants to add there any text/label, do it or tell me and I'll put it in there

after a while i found out how to replace it, let me know if u tried the same steps.
renamed the png file to welcomehead.192.png and made another copy of it and named it welcomehead.png
in resco i set some options to show hidden files, then i just moved both of them inside.
i think one of them was unnecessary but... it worked so.. lol
so i did a bit more research, u just need the welcomehead.png
the one with 192 is for a carrier splash.
if u want to use the jpg (i'm guessing it's faster?? i don't really notice much difference), u can put it in there aswell and go into registry.. i think HKLM/software/microsoft/splash and just change the value of the name
@rouzbehali
can plz upload the zip file again,its corrupted
and i noticed that the wallpapers are not 800*480
could u plz make a version with this size
thanx alot man
its very nice
zip files are fixed
sound files are uploaded again,thanks for your comments
ok.I will make more splash screens
OK windows mobile noob here with stock HD2...
How do I get rid of the stupid Tmobile "stick together" screen at startup and "Goodbye" at shut down? No one has explained that yet. I downloaded and installed the advanced configuration tool and every time I point it to the pics in the zip file on my sdcard and reboot...nothing changes...
I need step by step instructions here...

easier way:
Just use advanced config to locate your files .
it is provided in the 1st post.

Is there any way to also get a shutdown screen? There is only a starting up file in the zip. Also, what's the best way to try to install the welcome/shutdown splash? Through the advanced config app or otherwise? And lastly, which splash screen does this replace, the orange windows mobile one, the T-Mobile one, or both? Any responses would be helpful.
the skin/theme you have is fantastic, with the clock and slide bar on the bottom. Could you please tell me where you got it or did you make it yourself?
