Stupid question.How to make a cab file?i really want to make some for myself,thanks.

well i dont know if i should just anounce this to everyone, but the are a few programs out there that allow you to make them. there are a few things you need to know first. reading up on this may be your safest thing to do first. the thing with cabs is you dont really see what is being installed, and when you remove it it doesn't really remove everything. reg edits for example are one of the things that dont get changed back. the installer has know way of recording what the settings were before the installed reg changes.

i use a program that cost me $80. i bought it cause i was developing "treo alert" with a few other guys at treocentral. "xcsat" is another one i worked on wher ethe cab maker was a must.

im Definitely here to help the community.... and not to compete with anyone so i dont mind working with anyone with anything... oh yeah with this cab if you choose to uninstall, the entries are changed back to original values and/or erased, I tested it to make sure before posting.

hmmm, i didn't think it worked like that. i know with treo alerts, when when made it se couldn't get the reg changes to be removed without writing a script to remove. i'm not saying your wrong. im thinking i might have been wrong. maybe the cabs with the edits i'm writing will be changed back as well. i never checked. i will be looking into this. sure would make it easier.

ok, i figured it out. both of our cabs will reset the registry settings back to the defalt setting when unistalled from the "add remove program" list. what i was forgetting is that when building treo alerts, where i remembered the reg edits not changing upon uninstall, we were using the scripts to make the changes, not the cabs. this way the cab never knew there were reg changes.

anyhow to make a long story short... we don't have to woory about remover cabs. i will edit my battery and performance thread and remove the remover.

thanks sprint dude. i wasn't thinking. lol

cody

lol its cool codyppc

i made this thread a sticky because i appreciate sprintdudes and cody's ideas and thoughts. i have spoken with cody and i want you guys to collaborate all of your .cabs and tweaks, compile those for me and i will make one big sticky. i know there is a registry tweak thread, but if these are specifically for the Mogul, then thats where i will post the sticky. if you guys make them for other phones and they are tested and working, then i will sticky it in its respected section. i am giving you guys the ball, so run with it and get back to me when it is ready to be stickied. thanks again for all of your hard work guys.

Hey SprintDude and Cody ... thanks very much for this thread. It's very useful for beginners and not :)

I installed the "plus battery" version of my Mogul running DCD's ROM, but I'm still having Arcsoft tell me that the size limit is 1K. I did a quick search, but there are just too many threads about arcsoft to find what I need...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I'm just going to add all these CAB threads to the FAQs sticky. Too many stickys ;)
