Hi all. I want to add themes apps to my touch pro2. Ive looked into the fourm and there is nothing for people who are starting from scratch. Where and how do I add all these files and everything.
Dont reply with try the surch button as I have for the past 2 days and am lost on it all.
There should be a sticky for people like us who are all new to this. So help me and the others people like me
Have you tried looking at the Rhodium themes forum? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=491). There are several themes made by users on the first page (I'm one of them). If you look over at the Blackstone themes forum, you will find more. Almost all of these can be installed via cab file.
and what is cab file?
just draged the ROMeOS³ RHODIUM TRANSFORMATION PREVIEW PACK and had 2 files and but both of them on my phone. Turned it off and on and nothing.
Went in to start and add other programs and it couldnt find the two I put on my phone.
So as I said there is nothing on saying what to do with these files, where they are, where they go and everything. Really badly layed out

funny......... when you add the cab files to your phone or memory card you need to install them using file explorer. just dragging them across doesn't install them...
ok... so why dont people say that in the first place rather than theres the files enjoy there is no step by step on what files to downloader where to put them and everything. So now Im going to try this file explorer. where ever that is on here.
More searching now
thanks for your help just wish other put it up in the frist place for us noobs. Shame my blackberry was so easy on moding

no! file explorer is already installed on your phone. it's in programs or click start and should be one of your shortcuts. no searching............ relax as people assume that everyone knows the basics. not done intentional! open file explorer and navigate to where you put the 2 files. click on them and should start installing!
hurrrrray its working now thank you ! ! !

ha ha no worries dude! glad i could help. always remember thats most windows mobile apps that can be installed on your phone are called cab file. meaning that file ext is .cab. this can be copied to device/sd card memory and be installed!
Check out:
It couldn't hurt if you checked out this link:
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/index.php?option=articles&task=viewarticle&artid=336&Itemid=
Coolsmartphone learnt me all the basics when I first ventured out into the world of WinMo in 2004. I'm sure there are a lot more of these sites, they won't go much into detail on your specific device, but they will help you understand what's underneath Touchflo etc. It will probably save you a lot of frustration...
And I'm sure there's a manual that came with the phone too that will do a lot of explaining if you give it a try.
funny enough I saw that site didnt help much and Ive never seen in the "manual" of how your not use there installed software and use other peoples and how to do it.
Ok, what do you think about this one: New to a PocketPC?
Regards,
Carty..

grammar
ha what can i say i never really was any good with grammar
alright im about ready to give up ive done the registry hack and went as far as to rip an img myself from a game and tryed it straight and compressed into iso format i realize im using the Fuze (Raphael) and ive posted their too i thought the diamond was basicly the same but i dont know the only thing i can think of is that fpsece was made for armv4 and armv5 and wm 2003 not an armv6 with wm 6.1 so if you actually got it to work please tell me how you did it otherwise im clasifying this as impossible.
ive got it to work a little bit i had to throw it on my phone memory instead of the sd car but its still ridiculously slow so im gonna try to find a game small enough to put on m internal memory and see if that helps
I want to make my tilt 2 dual boot into win 6.5 and android.
I know there are instructions here but I don't know much about phones and flashing and ROM's and whatnot. I looked through some topics and they all seem confusing...
I don't want to brick my phone so I was wondering if there is a shop, store, or person near SoCal that can do it for me for a reasonable price? I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask or even if it's legal but I assume it is?
Thank you.
heres a quick walkthrough. download the cab from here. where it says download. sync your phone and your pc with active sync. click explore on active sync and copy the cab you just downloaded to your phone. when thats done unplug. then find the cab on your phone and pick it to start the install. when it asks where to install "phone or storage card" pick storage card. wait a while for it to finish. when thats done open the start menu and find the project android icon and pick that. once that opens click on menu and then update. on the next screen click update and wait a while. eventually it will say it completed and click ok. then click the check mark. back on the first screen pick "tilt2" then "run android" wait a while for it to start.
for any other questions see the android wiki in my signature below

I did this install and works fine. It does nothing to brick the phone. Just make sure to follow the instructions like he said or for more detailed install instructions just look at the xdandroid cab install thread.
I was not the only user having this problem. There was actually a bounty set for a fix, but I havent seen one yet. Flashed Energy Rom Sense 2.5 and 2.1, provisioning didn work, and neither did cab install for correct key layout. Numbers still across the top row, and most symbols still incorrectly mapped. Seems to be first tilt configuration and nothing will change it back.
The strange thing in my case was before I ever flashed ANYTHING SPL, ROM radio...anything...,(bone stock) my HW keyboard would auto remap to these settings out of nowhere. Two different devices had this problem, i took the first one back, and this one being the second. a soft reset would set configuration back to stock before flash, but now even the cabs available will not change anything. I got a $20 for a .cab fix or a detailed xplnation of how to fix this, and have the entire HW keyboard mapped in english and to at&t tilt 2 configuration that will work on this device
Please Forgive the rant in the prior post concerning this issue, as this has become quite frustrating lol, and I have owned every HTC device at&t has sold and loved em all, but had to hunt fixes for every single one. Ive learned a lot in the process, but sometimes time is limited to be able to constantly search for what would seem to be a simple fix. If you will notice, for as long as long as I have been a member of this great community, I have made very few posts, and asked few questions on my different devices ...I read searched and read some more. I had xda google search as my homepage for a loooong time, help on this issuue would be greatly appreciated!!!
What cab did you use? There's a few floating around. I've tried dozens of roms and only seen this issue with one or two ROMs (both 2.5 roms) but went away after a hard reset. Are you hard resetting your device after flash?

1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

I thought it odd not to have to do a hard reset as left out in tutorial. I should have done it out of habit from flashing kaiser, and fuze, but no. I did not hard reset. I will try a new flash and do the reset this time. Hopefully thats all thats the problem! thank you very much, and cross your fingers for me lol. If it works I will def keep my word on 20!

Just to help troubleshoot after you hard reset just install whichever keyboard cab you're using, soft reset, and test it out before installing anything or syncing.
thank you thank you thank you!
I cant believe thats all it was! Even more so I cant believe I didn even try the H R after flash. I never once failed to do this when flashing any other device, I guess b/c it was in the directions for noobs to do so in other forums, lol may ought to suggest adding it to the dir for flashing tp2 lol!
THANK YOU BIGTIME, once again! I had become frustrated after tryin multi cabs and reading where it worked for everyone else. all i did was re flashed, h-reset. cab was in uc folder, but that didn work, ended up using att provisioning provided by NRG, and there she was...working like a charm again!
Glad to hear it worked! Thanks for following up to, you're the first person with this issue I've tried helping that actually posted a followup.
Alright, i'm pretty new to all of this, but I just got the 6.1 WM ROM for my excalibur. It all works fine except for the keypad of course. Ive downloaded the t9enlgish cab, well actually a number of them, but I just cannot understand how to run it on my phone. It is extracted as usual into a folder, but I don't know what to do from there!
Any help/advice would be much appreciated, thanks!
What you download is a .cab but looks like a .zip do not extract it, place the .cab on your phone via active sync\WMDC\card reader and then with File Explorer navigate to where you have the .cab click on it it'll ask where to install install to device then soft reset.
Check the sticky for the UK & US .cabs also how to turn of predictive along with much more useful information
Thanks a lot
I've got it sorted now, cheerrs for the help!
On the topic of .cabs actually, I actually just cannot get them to work at all. Do you think you might be able to give me a step by step of what I need to do? I fixed the previous problem by just updating to the 3VO ROM, and now I am trying to install SaveBatteryHTC_Juno.cab but to no prevail. :|
Thanks

Dude, it's the same process that stylez has mentioned above. I don't want to be rude though, but don't make threads with this "First time WM user question" you can search in the web of how windows mobile or activesync works.
Here's my phone info:
AT&T Tilt 2 6.5 (says world phone when it starts up)
CE OS 5.2.21849
ROM: 1.59.502.3
Radio: 4.48.25.20
480 x 800 resolution
I've tried for several days to hack, install, flash, jailbreak, etc.
*~*NOTHING WORKS*~*
I've researched this sight until wee hours in the morning all this week - nothing helps...
Suggestions...comments...please, at least no bashing me...I waited several days to post this as I have done my research but I'm just too tired of looking and can't figure it out...
All I want to do is freakin' put a new rom on my phone...I like NRGZ28's roms and I've put the stupid Hard SPL Olinix or whatnot on my phone.
But beyond that I've read every manual and text file but it just won't work...
also...
what other rom's are out there that i can try???
You may complain what you want, but when you give us that little info, how do you expect us to help you?
Did you read this page? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
If you follow these instructions and something didn't work, then tell us where it goes wrong. If you want help, you have to help us.

You should post this in the NRG ROM thread, or even better the "Flashing ROM for NOOBs", you will get more support there. Also, list your current ROM. If you have hard SPL then all you need to do is download the NRG ROM, extract it from the 7-zip archive, and put both the files in a folder. Connect your phone via activesync, and then execute the custom RRU exe program. I have flashed several times.
You don't say what errors you are getting - people need as much information as possible.
@ Lennyz1988
thanks but the page you sent me would be one of those text files, explanations, etc that I already read a million times and isn't specific enough for me
one of the main problems is that when documents explain unzipping, unraring, etc, MOST (not always) of the time they never state specifically to where it must be unzipped/unrarred: to the computer desktop? a specific folder in the phone's memory? the sd card?
however, i did hard spl my phone, when i enter bootloader mode it does show the olinix thing on it, so is this the rom number i need to list?? does it have anything to do with rom?
@ stevedebi, isn't the rom number i listed the one that's needed? what other info is needed as i don't think there is anymore info i can get off my phone that i didn't list, but being a noob please explain away so i can get this straight
*~*~*~*~ wait, i think u mean this...it has the 6.5 rom that it came with when i bought it...is that what you're looking for??

With the HARD SPL you now can use custom roms because youre TP2 is not Vendor locked anymore ;-)
But he is not SIM unlocked
ok...

no offense...but what does this mean?
For example, I go to NRGZ28's ROM page. I've already hard spl-ed my phone. Check.
Next, I unzip (just 5minutes ago) the 7z file that comes with the customruu.exe and try to set it up on my phone. Fail.
The attachment is what I see every time without fail. No progress beyond this point...help?
THANKS - PROBLEM SOLVED ON THE FLASHING ROM PAGE!!! THANKS A MILLION TO STEVIEWEVIE!!!!

Since you took the time to post your problem on THIS forum, please respond with WHAT you actually did to fix your issue. It is kinda not cool to get everyone to help you, then when you solve your issue, just say problem solved and not say what you did. No offense, not bashing you, just let everyone else know what worked to fix your issue.
solution
PROBLEM SOLVED! SOLUTION BELOW:
i guess i never actually extracted the folder like i thought i had already done - PLUS i also moved to a separate folder to keep it apart from ALL other rom's i was trying to flash
