building cabs

hey guyz do any of u know how to make a cab from the setup.xml file..actually i made a cab file which has about 190 files..and i misspelled the name of the directory in them..now i cant change all of them so i extracted them with 7zip in a folder ..now i have a file called setup.xml..i opened it and then changed the spelling of the directory..now how can i make it to install..please help guyz
I think you'll want to extract all the files into the same directory then run cabarc.exe to make a cab file with all the files.
first extract the inf file from a cab using MSCEInf.exe (from the zip file i included)
Then u can edit the inf file and use cabwiz to make cab.
it is no use to extract the xml file, at least not to my knowledge.
WOW thanx alot

edit *.cab like *.zip or *.rar

Yall Know cab files Cant be edited on Win RaR but Found a Program That Lets You edit it take files add filed and modify _Setup.xml the Programs name is IZARc and i think its Free dats how i edit cab files anyWay i First Extract the Files Win Rar Then Modify them and Wen im done i open the cab file with IZArc And Drag All the files in the folder to IZarc and VoilA!! a edited cab file but for some reason cant install them via active sync but they install alrite on device

transparent top curtain / bar

Ok, I've found the cab that removes the top curtain. NoTopCurtain.cab removes it, and every search I did only lead me to threads asking the same with no solution...

I've seen the semi-transparent bars in peoples screenshots, would somebody care to tell me how this is done?
Get your device. ActiveSync it. Explore it. Find file 18c460d8_manila in Windows folder. Copy it to your PC. Save it to a folder somewhere.
Download Manila Editor. Select Path in Manila Editor > Point it to the folder you just saved the 18c460d8_manila file. You'll see a blank image listed in manila editor.
Export it and open it with your favourite gfx editing program. Edit it to a semi transparent colour. If I remember rightly it's a 2pixel wide (128 high) image that 'spans' across the screen.
Use manila editor to replace the file with your newly edited image. Then copy the 18c460d8_manila file back to your device in \Windows.
Wallah! All done. You can find everything you need via Searching and reading!
thanks
Thanks, I should be able to get it done
i have a 1864da05_manila .... but no 18c460d8_manila
your sure its in the windows directory? I have a juicy 2.5 telus cdma phone, could it be different?
This seems like too tedious of a process for me >.> Anyone wanna do that with their file and uploada their modified 18c460d8_manila file?

hi,
actually TF3D1 top curtain is different compared to TF3D2.1 : on the one hand you've got a 2px width repeated 240 times, on the other hand you've got a single block of 512px

Help wid the Manila files!!!!!

I have been searching around the forum for quite some time and still couldn't find a solution to how to edit the manila files????
I just downloaded the manila editor which is an .exe file so can be run only on my PC. When i select the path option in it there is no access to the Windows folder of my Blackstone.
So, using total commander i copied all the manila files into one folder on my storage card which was accesible in the "Select Path" option of manila editor.
But when I opened it, it just opened two files!!!
Can any1 help me in telling how can I edit a manila file and what all I hav 2 actually do to complete a tweak?
Thanx in advance!!!!

[Tutorial][Cook]CAB Theme to OEM

Hi guys,
it took a lot of time but i figured out how to cook in a theme and make i default
What you need (would link, but i'm a new user and can't)
Theme as CAB-File
reg2provxml by ervius
package creator by ervius
What to do:
start the package creator, choose your theme-cab and convert it
inside the folder containing the cab file there ist a subfolder, named as the theme-cab (\folder with cab\folder named like cab\)
there u find a .tsk file, rename it to cab and convert this with the packagecreator
there will be an another subfolder, with has an rgu file (\folder with cab\folder named like cab\folder named like tsk)
rename the cab back to tsk
combine the rgu files and add the follwing line:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today]
"Skin"="\\windows\\ThemeName.tsk"
convert the rgu with reg2provxml
rename the provxml file to "mxipupdate_themename_001.provxml"
cook in and you are done, theme is loaded by default
Nice work
It will be easier if u keep ur theme file *.*.tsk as it and include it in ur Config.txt file
