How to make a CAB? - Touch HD Themes and Apps

I've been messing about with manila editor and making my own theme over the last few days.
Its not quite finished, but when it is I want to make it into a CAB file so that I can uninstall it if I change my mind about it.
Are there any guides or tutorials on how to do this? I tried the search, but searching for 'make cab' and similar gives me HEAPS of results with people asking for cabs to be made!

Try this new cab making utitlity. Its suppose to bypass most grueling issues of cab making

Create one cab file of many different cab files

Hey guys.
I am not very into the topic cabs, but is it possible to create one cab that installs all the cabs of my favourite applications ? This would make the post-flashing process much much easier.
Thanks in advance

Cant be done man, sorry. You cant mass install like 5 cabs in one hit. All you can do is create a cab to extract 5 cabs to a location
You can get a program to install them consecutively after one another (like Sashimi), however as luckyluke1137, that's probably not possible. If it were, WIN CE CAB Manager would be your best bet for manipulating/playing with CABs.

What's the story with Sashimi? It looks like it's been pulled whenever it gets posted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392983) and I can't find a developer's website (Google failed me). Any ideas? I presume it's a paid app and the developer is prohibiting distribution...
okay thank you for your answers...unpacking the cabs to one folder is not nessecary because they are all in one folder on my sd card. Just thought if there was an easy opputunity to install all of them "one-click". but seems this is not possible.
Most rom are UC compliant and it's very easy to write a quick script to install all your favourite apps as part of the customising process just after the flash takes place.
I've a script to install a few apps and also to setup my email account. You can also do loads of other stuff to if you want to such as setting power settings etc.
Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337
thank you very much crankshaft. i will have a look at it. only have to find out if the roms i use (leos) are UC compatible. but this would be exaxtly what i was looking for !!!

No worries mate. Most roms are UC compliant, having said that though I've just seen that Dutty's forthcoming rom will not be but I'm sure he'll get round that eventually.
Hello,
its possible with commercial software or trialware. but it's time consuming because you have to extract each cab merge the install setting files merge the registry settings file then rebuild the cab test the cab etc... i have done it one but with uc it's not important enimore.
i suse this method only to incorporate custom settings in cabs file.
@ tylwith okay sounds very hard to do. i think i will stay with UC then. Even if i will test dutty´s new rom because it looks great

How do I make / build CAB files?

I tried looking for a thread explaining the process, but didn't find one. Help?
WinCe Cab Manager it's all pretty simple once you have software infront of you.
Give it file choose install location add shortcut & REG if needed then save
Best way is to open some .cabs up and see how put together.
I made a tutorial a while ago. It's the free, but more complicated alternative to WinCE Cab Manager:

[req] somebody with cab manager make a cab from inf

i looked everywhere for the cab and couldnt find it. i finally found where someone had uploaded the source in a forum with permission from the author. could somebody use wince to make it a cab for me. i downloaded wince cab manager but when i got to import it says it is only for registered members and i really dont want to have to dish out the dough for a program im going to use once. it would be really appreciated. the files i need turned into a cab are freeware and its so you can press more then one key at a time on the apache, useful for playing emulators and stuff.

Vga manila 2.5 cab

does it exist? sorry if i may have excited you
no
no way you can find a cab file for manila v2.5 because its size is about 85 mb (don't really remember its size), and you will experience difficulties and errors uninstalling the manila if installed from a cab (in most times you'll need to hard reset to remove it). that's all i know
you can learn how to cook manila v2.5 in a rom using a kitchen, though. Head for the forums for tutorials and kitchens!

[Q] Sample mortscript for nopushinternet

Hi,
I am trying to learn mortscript. I was wondering if someone could send me the code for an accompanying mortscript to NoPushInternet.cab, as I think with a sample like this I could make some good progress. (I intend to use this with XDA_UC if that matters).
This cab comes up and I want to select the radio button for \Storage Card, then press Install. Is there an easy script for this? I haven't found anything that seems to help with this in the documentation but I have probably overlooked it.
Thanks!
OK, maybe a better question is this - for those of you who use the XDA_UC features in custom ROMS to update your preferences of cabs etc. after a new flash, how do you auto-update the nopushinternet cab file? Is there another way to do it that's easier and automatic? I know many don't just manually install all their cabs, I appreciate your advice.
Thanks for your help!
