There is some various software I searched for on the forum and found, most of the time it was related to posts about "oem packed" software or something.
For instance, I was looking for the latest HTC Audio Manager, ideally the black touch version. I found it and downloaded it but it turned out to not be a cab file and rather a .rar file that when extracted was simply the many files related to the HTC Audio Manager like a theme if you will.
A few other things were similiarly packed, and not a cab file to install.
So my question is and this may be difficult or vague but how does one install or use this? I suppose there is a cab file alternative out there but just curious how one would use this for the sake of learning and understanding the differences.
To know exactly what I am talking about the files in question came from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1530825&postcount=79
And specifically the one I got was the:
Windows Media Player Touch Skin by Duttythroy
Any help or even point me in the right direction? Believe me I have searched, however the results are vague and not helping much.
I don't just want a cab file in this case, so I am not asking for anyone to point me to a cab file, at this point I want to know how I would use these so I can learn more about the file structure and other things.
Thanks!

hi there,
As you will guess by my question and post count i am a fully fledged n00b and have just bought the o2 xda orbit.
It such a great forum and enjoying reading all these mod's however there is one slight problem...
...how do you add them all?! i can obviously download all the files etc to my desktop (PC) but how do i then get them to install and work on my xda? e.g. quickgps mod, emulators, themes etc?
i imagine its very easy to answer and thanks in advance
They files will either be executable on your pc or cab files.
If executable you will run the application on your pc and then if the device is connected active sync will pretty much do the rest for you.
If cab files you explore the device with active sync and then drag the cab files to the device.
Then use file explorer on your orbit to browse to the cab file click on it on the device and bingo it will install.
any hassles or specifics pm me and I will happy talk you through individual programs or items.
But I assure you once you have done it once you will wonder why you asked..
ive sent you a pm just about one particular example that im having trouble with but thanks for the reply, slowly getting the hang!!
Ok..
These are the files of the bluetooth explorer from the OEM of htc kaiser, could somebody please make a cab file of it?

Hi, I noticed your post in the other thread, but decided better to revive this one, I can easily create a .cab of this, but those two .dll files in that .zip arent all thats needed Im farily sure..could be wrong, also on that 16.9mb file the extension is that 7zip? I dont wanna waste time downloading it on this weak Edge connection, to then have to go download 7zip just to open it for a couple small files.
Edit: that .zip is missing BTFtpClient.exe, for one.
I was wondering if someone could give me some direction, cause I have been trying and havent found a way yet. I am trying to extract a HTC hotfix from their site on my computer. I can extract the hotfix into a folder, but its in 8.3 filename format, I am trying to extract it so that I can cab it up and try installing it in my spare tp2.
And to answer the question, its not for the TP2 thats why I cant run it on the TP2, my problem is I am trying to extract it, and then make it a cab with WinCE Cab so that the registry settings get implimented and files get copied to the right location.
Any help would be appreciated, been looking all day to make this work
Can you provide a URL to the hotfix, so others (such as myself) can have a try at this?
Its the sms hotfix from htc dated 1.28.2010 for the HD2, But that still doesnt answer my question of how to extract this exe file to make a cab and try it. Seppi had done it to an older version which helped a bit with the issue but its not this new version which I am willing to try since the older version did work and did improve the sms somewhat. What I need is to be able to extract the exe with long file name, everytime I extract it it extracts with the short filename.
There's this task manager program that is included with the e2 ROM that I have not been able to find anywhere else. It's simple, fast, and to me the best way to switch tasks on WinMo.
\Windows\taskmgr.exe
So I figured I could simply copy the exe out of the Windows dir and stick it on my SD card for use with other ROMS.
Apparently I was wrong.
I cannot for the life of me figure a way to copy this file to any other location. Every time I try to copy it with Total Commander, I get a dialog telling me that a file of the same name with a size of 0 bytes already exists in the destination directory. When I click the overwrite button, it simply says "Unable to copy/move file". Afterwards when checking the destination directory for the reported existence of this file, I find nothing.
When trying to copy it off the phone in desktop Windows explorer, it simply says "Access denied".
I made sure that the file was not currently running before trying to copy.
Some files are able to be copied outside the Windows dir without issue, but I noticed there were many others that had this same problem.
So is this even possible? Is this an issue with all files that come built into the ROM? If so is there any way around it?
If not it would be a shame because I really miss this simple program when running other ROMS.
(and no offence to the e2 ROM, it is one of the best I've used, I just like flashing new ROMS every other day or so...)
Sorry I misread your post. I have nothing to say sorry.
I put the files path near the top of the first post:
\Windows\taskmgr.exe
Its title while running is simply Task Manager. Obviously there are many other task managers that take on the same name, some even with the same filename.
Not sure how else to differentiate it. In the handful of different ROMS I've tried, I've only found this specific program in e2 (both Sense 2.5 and 2.1 versions in fact).
The program itself is merely a list of tasks with the columns Application, Mem, and CPU. The right softkey is labeled Menu and has options to End All Tasks, view either Applications or Processes, sort by the various columns, refresh, and exit. The left softkey is labeled End Task and has the appropriate functionality.
I realize other task managers would seem to duplicate the functionality of this one. For various reasons I like this the best (mostly because it can be easily controlled entirely with the keyboard without any need to tap the screen, and because it does exactly what I need it to do and nothing more, there's always dotfred's application if I need more powerful task managing capabilities).
Wish I knew more!

Hey, just glad someone noticed!
dotfred taskmanager is probably what it is
Nope, I have and use dotfred's task manager, it's a great program but is overkill if all you want to do is switch tasks.
I've attached a screenshot of the program.
But really, I should have probably phrased my question better. This is not so much about the specific application, as it is about finding a way to copy ROM files out of the Windows directory. There are many other files with this issue, taskmgr.exe just happens to be the one I want.
Of course if someone knew of a standalone version of this app that would be great, but I somehow doubt such a thing exists. It seems unique to the e2 ROM (I have posted in the e2 ROM thread as well).
So at the moment I'm going through NeroYoung's "How to make a custom ROM." The problem is, when he made it, he only showed the file extension for Xperia devices running Gingerbread, which is ftf.
Through his method, it is vital that you know the file extension.
I have two questions, if you know the answer to one but not the other, feel free to answer, I won't bite. :fingers-crossed:
My first is, what is the file extension for system files for the HTC Evo 4G.
My second, which could be used to find the answer to the first, is How do you find the file extensions for your own system files?
Thanks for your time, because without you guys, I'd look like bug eyes right here ->
