Are you trying to install a Today screen plugin?

For any CAB file, just copy it to your phone via ActiveSync or storage card. Then in file explorer, just select it and it should begin installing. If you have a storage card installed it will ask you where you want to install it.

You need to download the CAB file.

Try this one.

Unzip on PC and copy the CAB to your device.

Also, you need to make sure you have HTC Home Customizer loaded before you can use that plugin.

thx ill try those two files out.........


where did you find them? id like to know where to go to get files like this

edit: the first file you wanted me to install is the same way.......there is an xml file that only opens in internet explorer and wen i click on any of the others i get an error msg that says

"there is no application associated with (said file here) , Run the application first, then open this file from the application"



man the is getting a little frustrating

any ideas?

Searching XDA and here will usually yield the desired files. Sometimes you have to do some digging on Google, but if you know how to use the search functions (search strings, operator, etc...) it makes it easier.

You can also use Google to search these sites specifically.

It shouldn't matter if you uzip on the phone or on the PC. Most times I just unzip on the PC then transfer just the CAB to the phone.

Thank you! I looked all over and couldn't find a clear answer that worked - I am so grateful!
