Hello all....
maybe i'm a newbie buti want to learn, i've learn how to cook my own Ext Rom from this site. (Thanks for all!!! also PUG and CLUSTERED)
Now i want to know how to create a cab file for installation, but what i want is just add some registry on the device....
Example: create version.cab like on ext rom..
Thanks to all before...
You need to download a program called mince cab manager, do a google and it'll appear near enough straight away.
If you use a trial version, then you need to delete tpdisable and tpeneable from the extended rom because a popup appears saying that it was created using a trial copy and it won't install that or anything else because you won't be able to get rid of that screen.
Another thing you can do once you have that program to save space is just tag the registry info into another cab file, for example version.cab.

I'm not having much luck finding the cab manager on the web, fwiw... A suggestion as to a more accurate search phrase would be most helpful to clueless Christopher

Hi guys just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to a guide or tools to create a cab file.
Never done this before so not sure how easy or hard it is so no flameing please
Want to create a cab file for my operator settings.
Thanks, Chris.
Use WinCE Cab Manager
As above!
You can find the demo version here;
http://www.ocpsoftware.com/products.php?nm=cecabmgr
and the full version but it ain't cheap!
If you google hard enough I'm sure you can find the full version for less...if you now what I mean!!

Tips
Here's some tips for using WinCe Cab Manager;
If you want to import reg files make sure the file has REGEDIT4 at the first line.
You cant export reg files unless you you highlight the registry tree in cab manager
When creating a new cab select 'allow the application to be installed on any device' and on the next page 'All/CEF'.
Read the help file....it's not too bad!
A little bit late, but how about this (free!) installation creator:
http://www.aperitto.com/content/view/14/28/
Works very well, and the developer is quite responsive to requests for bug fixes/features. Very powerful program as well, as far as I can see it does everything that the commercial installation creators can do.
It is based on/uses the very popular Inno Setup PC installation creation program.
Hello All,
Is there a way to strip an installed application from a PPC into an installable .CAB file, if one has lost the installation files/DVD, but still have the application installed on the hand-held.
Thanks in Advance.
Not really.
You can always copy the files out (if you can find them all - some may be in windows folder or places other then the main app folder) but you still would need to know every registry key the app requires.
If you use sktools it tells you all the files installed and registry entries. You could then extract all the files as levenum said and make a cab including the registry entries.
Hi lev
ahh..hhaa !

My experience with SKTools makes me cringe...my ATRE would not stop rebooting until I remove the SD card(where SK Tool was installed and remove it completely.
What software do I need to make a .cab file ?
I will still make all efforts to attempt this anyways....
Ive had no problem with sktools - i always install to main memory. If you manually make your cab then use cabiwiz - or use a commercial app like wince cab manager. Which program are you trying to put together?
cabiwiz enclosed inc example app and tutorials
Funny thing - I was replying to another thread with similar question stating that there would be a problem finding out all the REG keys.
Then jackleung posted about a tool called "ssnap" that supposedly can take an image of the system.
Comparing an image from before and after installation should show all the changes a cab makes.
Since I am not personally familiar with the tool I can't say any more about it.
As for cab creation - while I use cabwiz my self, it is a command line tool and you need to know ho w to write inf files for it.
For a beginner an app like WinCE cab manager will be more comfortable.
It is a shareware, so it will stop working after a while unless you pay but it is very good.
P.S.
Hi Mark
Hi Guys
Is there anybody who can guide me if it is possible to replace the Ext_Rom of a WM6 with WM5 or not?!!!
Actually I had a problem with my Ext_Rom...(There's a CLEARVUE...a default program for Reading PDF files which I hate it,but I can't prevent it of being installed while costumization of WM5 ) So I wondered If I can change My Ext_Rom with the one whcih has not Clearvue inside?
If yes,then how???
Thanks
Easy.
Go to the WiKi and search for "unlocking extended ROM of Prophet".
The extended ROM is just a collection of cabs. On the Prophet (at least in WM 5 not sure if they changed it in WM 6) you can open it with a simple registry change and then manually delete or add cabs. (note that cabs must be signed to automatically install after hard reset)
I looked over the backup of my Ext_ROM (from official i-mate ROM) but could not determine which cab installs ClearView just by their names.
You could always try them manually one by one or use CECabManager (google) to see whats inside.

Hi Levenum
It's really great to have someone to help you,finally.Thanks a lot,man .Actually I know how to un-hide the Ext_Rom,but the problem is that I can't find the cab that is installing this damn Clearvue program
I'm looking for someone who guide me which Cab is responsible for that(Gives me the name of the cab.file)...or....Any hero who guide me is it possible for me to change my current Ext_Rom with the another one that is not included that damn CLEARVUE???!!!
Thank you again for helping
Heloooooooooooooo
Isn't there anybody who direct me (and many others who have got the similar problem) by just saying how we can get rid of CLEARVUE in the Ext_Rom or at least replacing it with ACROBAR READER?
I already know how to un-hide AND Unlock the extended rom...
I need only the name of the cab file (which installs CLEARVUE),...nothing more...
It's NOT installed in the ExtROM, it's installed in the "base"ROM.

Hi Black Rose
I don't care where this damn software is,and I'm not gonna debate you over it...You just tell me what s the name of the cab.file...And if you are so sure about the location,so tell me also the place of it(Base or Ext-Rom?? )
Thanks anyway
I think clearvue is pre-installed in the base ROM, so there is no cab file to delete.
For me, I just ignore that clearvue or adobe LE is there. I just went ahead and installed Adobe 2.0 and everytime I tap a pdf file, adobe 2.0 opens.
If that doesn't work for you, you can use resco explorer to assign which default prog to open any file... similar to "open with" in XP or Vista.

Hi Putra
Are you sure it's not in the Ext_Rom?Because after a hard reset,whenever I prevent the Ext_Rom of customizing my device (Stop customization),I don't have the CLEARVUE installed on my mobile.
This is why I think it must be somewhere in Ext_Rom.Even some excerpts told me that I have to replace my Ext-Rom with the one which doesn't have CLEARVUE...But he didn't tell me exactly how I can find such a extended Rom and how I can do the replacement...I also needed to know if the replacement may damage the Original Rom of my device or not?
Thanks for helping me, anyway and I would be more appreciated if you help me a little more in that.
Ok, in that case, then it should be in your extrom. However, I also do not know which is the cab file. One way is to prevent the extrom customization, and then manually install each cab from the extrom....
Why don't you just leave clearvue in your device, and simply install adobe 2.0? I don't think clearvue takes that much space...
you can edit the ext_ rom by editing the folder content in WM6
I recomend to use winimage to edit extrom, it will lock the ext rom

HI Chopin
Thanks a lot for helping me to solve this problem,but wou,d you pease elaborate a little bit more...After all,I'm a newbie!!!!!
Just tell me what's this WINIMAGE and also tell me if I would be able to find the cab file of CLEARVUE within my Ext_Rom to erase it or not?!?!
Thanks again
winimage to use with extension.nb, as anewbie let forget how to use this one. if you need to kow, use search you;ll find a lot about how to use this one.
just look in the folder and remove it, or just edit the file Config.txt and remove the cab you don;t wanna install, it is so easy and don't need any clarification.
tell me what ROM do you use

OFF TOPIC: Hi Chopin, can you explain how I can edit the contents of the extrom on WM6?
edit the files. delete any cab you want and instert anycab you want in the folder, but if you add a cab file then edit the file config.txt and and enter the cab file in it

Oops, I meant how do I unlock and unhide the extrom in WM6. What prog do I use?
The last time I tried using WM5 tools on PdaViet 01, it didn't work. I have not tried again. I'm on Gullum v6, btw.
if this is what you want here is the files for unlock, and please ask me more if this was not what u needed
Ok, thanx. I'll try them...
Stop off-topics...let's talk about main topic
Hi dear friends
I noticed that we have been a little been off-topic,so I wanted to recall that we are here to help each other to find a way for "HOW WE CAN DELETE ANY CAB(In my case...CLEARVUE's cab file)INSIDE THE EXT_ROM OR CHANGE IT WITH ANOTHER CAB(Again in my case changing default CLEARVUE with ADOBE ACROBAT)?????
My friends
I even checked the Config.text file within my Ext_Rom,but unfortunately even there was no name and trace of CLEARVUE?!?!!??But I' sure it must be there...since when I stop my device of being costumized after a hard reset,I never see this CLEARVUE in my programs...So that means it must be somewhere in Ext-Rom..Somebody...Some hero....some know-all tell me where?????And under what name?!?!??!??!??!?!?
please, we already answer this question, to help you more, what ROM do you use?
Hey...
i am awaiting my new 8525(hermes) to arrive from Cingular and was wondering if anyone can give me a link or tuturial of how to make cab files for installation of progams to the different phone types. i have a whole bunch of packages collected from various kitchens and have been practicing on my wife's MDA(against her consent) and have gotten good at repacking the roms. However i know alot of the developers and moderators are working on thier latest roms and such and was hoping to do my part at helping those just looking for cabs. so if anyone would be so kind as to point me in the right direction so i may start practice in order to do my part for the community i would be ever so happy.
P.S. if anyone is looking for a particular program package and does not wish to search through every kitchen, PM me and i will search my BU drive (now affectionately name the "XDA Developers" drive) and see what i can dig up for ya .
Hey Wolfdragon, Here's a link to a freeware (for personal use) cab file creator that I found a while back but haven't really played with too much yet. It has a wizard that will help you create a cab file from a package.
I hadn't played with it much yet because I thought that you had to create a setup.xml document for it and I haven't decided to get around to learning how to do that yet, but I just decided to make a cab file from a package and it makes the setup.xml document for you.
Anyway, here's the link - http://www.aperitto.com/content/view/14/28/
They're 2 programs i used to make OEM Packages. They are: 1)WinCE Cab Manager 2)initflashfile Generator. Initflashfile Generator can be obtained from a few Rom Kitchens floating around here, just do a search for it! Trust me, if you can get your hands on WinCE Cab manager, itll make your life alot easier when creating cabs and packages! good luck
only a question, how do i get the wince manager started? everytime i want to start, the program says : class not registered or something like this.
what can i do
has anybody any idea? please ....
free in xp
Start Menu/ select 'Run Program", and type in "iexpress.exe"
i use wince cab manager .... quiet easy .... u can try with any cab and easily u can get the "how to" to start ur own cab
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.

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?
I have the same question as Kndracing. Dont know what to do with the manila files.

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.
