Installation using the .CAB File:

  • Download the .CAB file directly to your device, or download the .CAB file to your computer and transfer the file to your device using ActiveSync (see instructions for ActiveSync below).
  • Once you have the file on your device, open File Manager or any suitable file explorer utility and navigate to the folder where you copied the .CAB file.
  • Highlight the file, then select it to initiate installation. You should be prompted to install the file.

 Installation using the .ZIP File:

  • Download the ZIP file to your desktop computer.
  • Extract the contents of the file to your computer. Each theme should have two files: The JPG file for the background image and an XML document.
  • Use the ActiveSync instructions below to copy the two files from your computer to your mobile device.
  • If your mobile device supports the extraction of ZIP files, then you should be able to download the file directly to your device and copy the content into the Application Data\Home folder using File Manager (or any file explorer).
