WAD2

Hey there this might be a stupid question but can someone tell me where and how to install WAD2 themes? I searched the forum but couldnt find it.
Thx

Depends on a few things.
If you installed the program in main memory, then you should put themes in
\\Program Files\lakeridge\Wisbar Advanced Desktop\Themes
If you installed the program on the storage card, then you should put themes in
\\Storage Card\Program Files\lakeridge\Wisbar Advanced Desktop\Themes
You can also find some themes compressed in the programs own compression system, kind of looks like a CAB file, just dble click and follow instructions. Some theme's need to be setup in a particular way (the way the author made it) and you'll have to refer to the authors thread for those instructions (ie: Theme in main memory, picture files on storage card).

some people build themes that use WA3 as well so just read the requirements. The ones i make on swampthing.net never require anything bu wad2 but there are instructions for installing each.
If you have a different ROM than the creator of the theme you will probably have to relink some sortcuts and such as well. I suggest you go to lakeridgesoftware.com and read up on the documentation Kevin published because it teaches you how to use WAD2. There is a small learning curve using WAD2 bu when you get it the possibilities are unlimited.

Is there any free software I can apply these themes? Looks the WAD2 charges 14.99 dollars.

Windows Mobile Device Emulators 6.5.x

I extracted the WinMo device emulators out of the accidentially published 6.5.x SDK (which has meanwhile been removed by MS). So if you want to give your apps a testride on them, here they are.
The zip (330 MB) contains 2 folders, copy them as follows, assuming you already have WM6 SDK installed.
DeviceemulationV65x ==> C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\PocketPC
My Device Emulators ==> C:\My Documents\
You may need to modify the *.decfg files to your needs, please check the OSImage and Skin paths in each file to fit your configuration.
Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK has now been officially released by MS.
download DTK from Microsoft

Thanks!

The 6.5.3 DTK is meanwhile officially released by MS. I'll remove the download as its no longer necessary.

See this http://www.microsoft.com/poland/developer/produkty/vs2008/vs2008expressedition.mspx

ok the file i am downloading is 900 mb ,but why does the emulator need it now,before i had a wm 6.5 emulator and a 6.5 rom,why does it need now framework,vs,mobile device center+ the emulator and a rom.Before it was about 500mb needed,now its nearly 2gb thats insane

[Q] Possible to deploy Xap from web?

Hi
i'm playing a lot with VS2010.
and i think this can be good to create a marketplace alternative
to share xda members xap apps.
i'm looking to create this apps but after lots of search i'v not found answer!
Is there a way to install xap from web or from an apps directly on the device like marketplace do?
thx for your answer.

No you cannot. You need the Windows Phone SDK to depoly XAP files.

Windows Phone 7 cab files can be e-mailed and downloaded, by ansar.

Hi,
The attached cab file contains an exe file, common to all wp7 roms.
It is verified that can be sent with an e-mail and then can be downloaded to the e-mail sender windows phone device.
There is no need for any other app in order to do the task, you can try it, it is completly safe.
Regards, ansar.

can we do this for all cabs ? i mean XAPs ?

Hi,
Did not try it yet but i think it will have no problem.
With xap in order to work one should include the required .xml files too.
May be it is important to test if hubs can also be passed this way, although are large sized.
But if it works for hubs etc, other brand devices like Samsung can be benefit too.

Have you read it right the first post of Ansar??

Maybe not but I can't install it on my WP7 device.
If I remember .cab is executable program for WM6.x
So I don't understand why he put it here if it's not installable.

WP7 cabs
Hi,
For your info, in all windows phone 7 ROMs there are 2 cab files included, these:
1. In OEM packages there is a special package (folder) named OEM_8x50_OS
... Inside this package there is the 1st cab named oemavatar.cab
2. In SYS packages there is a special package (folder) named MSAvatar
... Inside this package there is the 2nd cab named msavatar.cab
Both cabs have been verified that can e-mailed and then downloaded in the window phone 7 device.
The cab i included in the attachment in post #1 is made by me for testing purposes.
It includes an exe file that there is already inside the ROM of any windows phone 7 device.
It is also tested that the famus Totalcmd.cab can also be e-mailed and downloaded by the device.
Of course Total Commander cannot be executed by the wp7 device due to its header that is addressed to wm devices.
Next tests will include xap files like those of the system xap that are responsible for the Metro UI.
Regards, ansar.

Hi,
This is due when you try a second time, not the first one.

INTERNAL xap installer for homebrew apps

Hi,
is possible to have app which can be associated with XAP file inside the WP7 ?
So I can upload upload homebrew XAP file to SKydrive and if I will not have my laptop with me, I can install this homebrew XAP to the phone.
Thanks for answers if it's possible.

For HTC devices there are the DFT Freedom Roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255143).
They have the ability to install .XAPs via the built in IE.

Anyway to add this to a current device ? That would be cool to have.
