Hi Folks,
i found a trick to make an autoinstall from strorage card (like from extended Rom)!
autorun.exe looks for the file config.txt on the place is in registry stored in:
"HKLM\Comm"
"AutoRunCFG" = "\Speicherkarte\Autoinstall\config.txt"
so i changed the registry entry and now i am able to put config.txt and the files to install on every place i want.
on windows Mobile 2003 devices this works wonderful!
on problem i have now with windows mobile 5 devices:
when installing a question appears where to store files (device or storage card)!
can anybody help me to get rid of this question during automatic cab install??
i want install all cab files to device without any questions!!
pbelcl: apologies for my ignorance, but is this very different to a 2577 folder?
with a 2577 cab we could use this info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=225375#225375
and choose a default install folder I think for WM5.

Thanks for your quick answer!
i read the other tread and if i understood it right i have to remove the .dll file from my cabs?
i'll try this and tell you if it worked ....
I think the other way round.
I've never done it before, but you need to make a custom cab and .inf file, and specify the installation location in therere, and then the "choose a location" dialog doesn't come up. I'm not sure, I'll try this at home later.

Thanks, that would be interesting for me because i cant generate cab files because i hav no developer software for this.
i also have access to a cab file manager (at a customer) where i can edit the cab files and change them as i need it.
if it is possible to generate an "empty" cab file for me that would be nice ....
pbelcl: I never use the cabwizard either, I use cab manager. To make an empty cab, take any normal cab (download one of mine?) and just remove all the files from it. That's what I always do!

ok, this is also my way to get an empty cab file
there is one question interesting:
Sometimes there is a "CheckFile.exe" and a "CeSetup.dll" in the cab file.
Do i need them for any work during install this cabfile or can i delete them also?
I remove everything from my cabs, and then use cab manager and drag and drop stuff. So I've never used those files. I will have to read up on how to make a "normal", but I don't think they're necessary if you didn't put them in there!

Hi folks,
again my last problem with automatic install on WM5 devices:
when my automatism starts to install the cab files (from where ever) each time there comes a popup windows where to install the cabfile (storage card or device).
for my routines it is not important becaue most of my cab files only set some registry keys and dont install files on the device!
Does anybody know how i can get rid of this window and install the files to device WITHOUT question popup window??
Hi, i found this really cool website a couple days ago
http://wm6.kyphur.org/Files/Today Themes/
It has a lot of themes for WM6. I am not sure where to ask ppl about this but how can i install themes on my WM6? I try searching on the web already but no luck.
Thanks if anyone can help me
I find this VERY hard to believe that you have searched.... but rather than be an ass about it:
Unzip the .tsk files to your /windows directory (on the device)......then run them in file explorer. afaik the theme should show up in start>settings>today.
Hey mrvanx, thanks for replying.
i unzipped the .tsk files in the ///windows directory on my fone
i try to run the three files that i upzipped but it won't load..
also what do u mean by "afaik the theme"????
Thanks for the help!
Once you've unzipped them into the Windows directory, they should then show when you go into Start > Settings > Today and you can select them from there.
I personally keep mine in the root of my SD card (i.e. not in a folder) and they show up fine in the Today settings. Just keeps memory clear on the phone & they also survive a Hard Reset from there.
these files are not zip files,they are tsk files,just rename them to *.tsk and copy them to your windows directory or to your sd card root.
when you open settings/today you will se the themes there.
i did that and it worked for me.
good luck,enjoy
Yea lol.. thats what i was thinking... y my PocketRAR kept on opening the stupid theme.. anyway i got it now.. Thanks all of you for helping me!
Hi, my name is kostas and I recently become owner of a Blackstone!
After searching the forum about themes and how to create them, I decided to try and create one. That's when my problems started!
First I copied the windows folder from my device to my pc, then with manila editor I extracted the icons that I wanted to change and edit them in photoshop. After that, I replaced them to the manila files with manila editor.
When I tried to copy the new manila files to my device I got a message which says that I cannot copy them to the windows folder.
Then I used QuickCab to install the files from my phone but after the installation I started the TF3D and the old icons were shown.
What should I do to make this work?

If you used File Explorer to replace the files, most times it does not allow you to return them. The safest is probably to first disable TF3D (Settings\Today) and then use something like to Total Commander or Resco to replace the files in Windows. Soft reset and re-enable TF3D.
thanks for the advice. I'll try it and see what happens

Pleasure bro, hope it works for you. You can also look at HD Wall which allows you to create your own slider with your icons and then creates a cab for you to install.

Alternatively you can use Sashimi to copy the files to your Windows directory! But Total Commander should work just fine...
So, I used to have a tytn2, and played with it a bit, so I am familiar with how to put cab files on it, etc.
I'm stumped right now... because I have my new pro 2, and when I download the program, it is supposed to show up as a cab file, when I unzip it. But actually, when I unzip it, I just am seeing several files, such as one ending in xml, and then another one or few ending with 000, or 001, 002, etc.
From what I remember, when I used to put the cab files onto my tytn2, I would just unzip whatever the program was, and I could see a cab file there, which I would then transfer to my device and then run.
What in the world am I doing wrong here?
Help would be super appreciated!
problem solved
problem solved, im an idiot. for some reason my system is showing the cab file as a zip file which wants to be unzipped. so i've not realized that i've been double clicking cab files, and then winzip is showing me the insides of those files.
= )
So I take it you just changed the file name from zip to cab?
Either that or he has the file explorer on his computer set to hide known extensions. Cab files are recognized as compressed file formats by many handlers like 7zip. Which is why he might have confused the icon for a zip file if he couldn't see the file extension.
Does anyone know how to hide the HTC clock (not flipping it up to make it smaller) completely while keeping TouchFlo3D activated?
I want the home screen has has completely nothing on it to show the whole wallpaper.
freshgear.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/htc-touch-hd-screen-main.jpg
Like from the picture above, I want to hide:
The Time (10:20)
The date
The alarm off text
The call history and calander text
So just a blank screen w/o anything while keeping TouchFLO3D running.

You can use TouchFlo Detacher to assign operations (show/hide/close)
Hi
what you have to do is,you have to change 17 manila files to transparency and the mode9 file 1c684cd8_manila.I did it already for you,because I changed my homescreen too.Important is,go in you phone windows directory (Windows) and save all the files what you will overwrite with this procedure to you computer to be on the save side,because it could be you change you mind sometimes,and you never know what could get wrong.If not,you will have to make a hard reset with you phone to go back to you original state,copy all the files in your PHONE WINDOWS DIRECTORY (WINDOWS)

Are all the files from your ZIP stored under a specific folder in Windows? I browsed the Windows folder in my phone and found the exact file names that matched the ones you have attached, but they are not in PNG (all the files just have a Windows icon), are those the ones?
Hi
I'v got something better for you,use the cfc_gui tool from chainfire,what you have to do is,copy all manila files to you computer,open it up with the cfc_gui tool,it takes a couble a secound to open it, in this tool you will then find all you manila files,if you tick of one file you will see all his content,size,name and picture, you can than save each one on you computer separately and work or change something on it with photoshop or others, if you in the cfc_gui tool go to the (home\vga files) because that a the files for the clock,if you make all the files transparent than the clock will disappear,you can do a lot with this tool,of course you have to be connectet with you phone to the computer to save the alteret files back again to you phone,and don't worry this tool save all you files to the right place in you phone if you use the cfc_gui tool than you don't need the zip file any more you can choose you own method and do what you want, underneath the download link.

I think I cannot use this method because I do not use a Windows computer and cannot connect between computer and phone.
Basically, I just need the things highlighted in neon green in the attached photo to disappear while keeping everything unchanged.
From your first method, I found the files that you put in the ZIP under my phone's Windows folder, but the ones in the phone's Windows folder are not PNGs.
Can you confirm if those are the correct files to replace?
Also, if I just need the few things from the attached photo to disappear, do I have to replace every file with the ones from your ZIP?
Hi
to you first question:how do you copy the files in you phone without computer
to you secound question:that what you highlighted on you phone that is exactly the 17 manila files,you will find in the new zip files the description of all the manila files
to you third question:the manila files a all alteret from PNG to QTC otherwise it would nothing happen when you copy them to the win directory,it was my mistake I should have mention it early in the post before, apology for that
to you fourth question:use the files in the new zip for what I will make a download link underneath thats the right files
to you fifth question:yes all the few things on you photo is all the 17 manila files, look in the description in the new zip file you will see that you need all the files,it is all explaind
something else use the mode9 file 16c84cd8_manila only if you can still someting see on you clock and screen
as you can see on my homescreen no clock

To answer your question, I only use bluetooth to transfer files between my computer and phone.
By replacing the files with ones above, will it cause any problem if my ROM isn't english?
Is there a quicker way to backup all 18 original files in case someday I want the clock back, instead of copying one after one from the Windows folder?
Just to confirm, your ZIP above has 18 files (excluding the capture.PNG)
One last question, how do make the menu bar transparent (like from your home screen above) and change all the icons at the bottom of the screen?
Hi
no it cause no problems for you ROM,
no quicker way to copy files from you win phone folder,if you would have a connection to you phone via computer it would take a few secound to copy,
zip files have 18files 17 manila and one mode9 file,+PNG
for you last question:to get the transparency for the taskbar I cooked it in my ROM after that I flashed it to my phone,I'v got a cab file that promised to do that same with the taskbar,I never try it because I cooked it already in my ROM,if you want to try it I will make a download link, if it dosen't work you can delete it again from you device,to the icons you can use the HDWall tool to create the icons
