Help Making a .CAB file

[Guest hooperman]

Hi, i have made a homescreen by changing an xml file and adding completely different pictures and colours. It works fine if i copy the xml file and all the jpgs into the HOME directory on my phone but I have tried to make a cab file and it wont install on the phone. had the same result with the auto hme maker. Please can anyone help?

Attached is the cab file.

Giants.CAB

Sounds like you need to unlock the application lock on your phone, click on OTA :)

Cheers for the reply, but my phone is already unlocked. Also tried it on my girlfriends and get the same result. On the phone it says that it is installing then it stops and says giants.cab failed to install on your device.

I dunno! :roll:

The homescreen works fine if i just copy the individual files to my phone.
