So, try padding them before cabbing them up, that should help speed up the install and will make the theme run smoother on the device as well.

Also there is a program for converting the extracted files from the .cab package, so you don't have to install them to your device to get the manila files.

I will attach it here. Just unzip the .cab to a folder, point to that package from this program and tell it where to output the files. You will then have a nice clean folder of the included manila files. Ready to edit!

Hope this helps you on your way, as I've been playing in the same sandbox lately myself!

If there is anything else I can help you with, don't hesitate to ask me, I'll help you with all I am capable of.
