I used this one:
http://rapidshare.com/files/36625900...nager.cab.html

As with most cabs, I install from my SD Card.

I'm using the same file. I tried to install right from the phone, and not the SD card. The phone skin installed without a problem.. The Comm manager keeps giving me permission errors..

I moved the file to the SD card and I'm still getting the same permission errors..

dmackdaddy, did you do the Unlock registry hack from the registry thread? It may be why some other users cannot install it.

That was it!!

Thanks Pibe!!

I thought so... glad to be able to help.

Just got the phone today and have done these two mods, along with a bunch of other ones. Working great.

Yes, I did :)

can someone point me to where/how to unlock the registry?

Check the FAQs sticky, there's a link to a thread (that should also be on this page) with all the registry hacks available...

I've installed the Comm Manager, the Dialer skin and the Today theme... very, very nice!
