I'd really like to use this app, and it DOES install to my Pro. Unfortunately, when I attempt to open the app, it simply gives me an error message.
While I'm having problems, it would seem that some people are using TF3D Config with no problems.
Anyone have any idea what the prob could be?
Why the hell did they make a customization program for the Diamond, but not the pro?!
You probably need to install the .NET 3.5 cab for it to work. There is a link somewhere in this forum, sorry I don't have it.
Here's the download link for .NetCF v3.5 taken from this post.

i have net 3.5 installed and TF3D Config still doesn't work with my TP.. really want to try changing my theme badly.. pls guide me ya.. thanks
If you are having problems getting it to run and your reg is correct DELETE the tweaks.xml file in the programs folder. you find this in file explorer or what ever program you prefer, Look where you installed it to. Internal or storage card, for example storagecard/programs/diamondtf3d/ HERE is where you will find the tweaks file to delete. then retry running tf3d. It seems you have to do this on the CDMA phones. It worked for me.

Try one other thing. Install .Net Configuration to internal memory (cab below). This allows you to change the compact framework version used for applications on your device.
Run '.Net Configuration' from your Start Menu.
Go to the 'Device Policy' tab and select version 3.5.
Selecting 'Apply' then 'OK'
That should do it.
thanks for your help.. after hard-reset, i managed to use the TF3D config (after installing netCF and the config that you attach).. thanks

There is another option though: simply replace the original "tweaks.xml" file with the file supplemented on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3052976&postcount=1211
(just save the file as a .xml file rather than it's current .txt version).
After I switched the files, I was able to use the Tweaks option on Diamond TF3D Config, and in my opinion, the tweaks made a HUGE difference to the overall performance of TouchFlo 3D on my Sprint Touch Pro.
this didnt work for me on alltel...any advice so i can use TF3D tweaks

This isn't working for me.
I installed it on my internal memory ran it and it installed. That part was all good
However when I get to the point of picking the version all I have is default and 2.0.7045.
Will this still work if I have this version?
Hey ive installed the tf3d config and deleated the tweaks file for my touch pro but once i run the program and go to the tweaks Tab its blank and wont let me tweak anything, my theory is because i dealeated the tweaks file but if u have to deleat that in order for it to work why have it....well the real question is, is there any way to install tf3d config and runit without having to deleat the tweaks file so i can ACTUALLY tweak my htc touch pro??
the tweaks file
i did what this post is say to get the app to install and it is running BUT how do you adjust any of the performance screen sensitivity with the tweak file gone?
is there anyone that has got this to run on a htc pro adn are able to set the screen sensitivity? i came from a htc 6800 and that way a great screen this one seems like i need to push on it like the berrys storm (it SuXs)
Problem solved. Thanks.
i've installed all above suggested programes(.net CF 3.5, netcfcfg) and applied new settings and restarted the phone. it's just not working on my touch pro 2. the error message i've got is "Diamond TF3D Config.exe NotSupportedException"
anyone has the same problem? any sugguestion or solutions please!! thanks a lot!

Follow Kireol's advice and move cab file to the device (then disconnect from PC) and use FILE Explorer to find it and then tap it to install.

do you think AT&T is trying to keep a brother down ?
ive read about flashing roms from the acctual kaiser... in noobie language i believe this means that i should try to find the operating system from the HTC kaiser (not the tilt) and install it instead of what ive got.
do i need to install anything before i install cab files?
haha the onlything ive gotten to install was Live Search and Google Maps...

My advice to you ... always install this "SdkCerts.cab" BEFORE you start anything else ( tweaks .. installing ...etc )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=52302&d=1190920271
found from this valuable thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438
and then install this one next !! :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333898
after the "KaiserTweak" above is installed ... use it and turn the "security prompt" to OFF !! among other things ( optional )
now ... happy tweaking and installing anything you'd like
P.S ... since you haven't really done anything to it ( except maybe did screwed it up a little somehow ?? )... do a hard reset and then follow the above advice
per request i am going to detail everystep in my miserable attempt to install any cab on my phone.
1) crawl this forum/ youtube for progs i find interesting
2) download to my computer not changing anything
3) move the files via active sync to my device (not on the storage card... directly to my documents)
4) open file manager
5) double click my cab
6) click ok to unsucessful install notification
some freeky occurances that may help you isolate my issues.
1) i can not delete anything from the device. if i try to delete something from the mydocuments folder (or even rename it) i get a sharing violation. this is not the case when i am in active sync on my computer.
follow my advice above
one thing about the native file explorer ... it is CRAPOLA !!
I personally used "RESCO EXPLORER" ( not free )
difference ?? Resco ( and others ) will let you rename/replace/move files ...etc while the native one is restricted somehow.
and it comes with a registry editor that make changes STICK ... other editors might let you do the changes but a lot of people reported that changes reverts back after a soft reset ... not so with RESCO
and about the CAB file being in your "My Documents" ..etc ... it is NOT a must !! it can be place anywhere and be executed !!!
now ... installing a program to a certain place ( main storage/SD Card) is a different story altogether.
P.S ... on odd occasion ... moving file via activesync tend to "convert/alter" the original too .. just on odd occasion
the settings is in ACTIVESYNC's --->>> TOOLS --->>> ADVANCE TOOLS menu
do yo have a memory card? are you installing to the memory card or the device?
i have tried both the card and the device with no luck. i tried hard reseting it.... didnt work.
i.e. wont even let me download cab files.
is there any way to hard refresh and use the kaiser software? (black today screen) ?
Did you add the sdkcerts cab as discussed above? I'm new at this too, but have never had any problem loading any cab on the storage card and running from there. Don't even know what the sdkcerts cab is, but put it on first per instruction and it's all a cakewalk. Try that

YOU DON'T open cab file with internet explorer !!!
it is meant to be run on your device via FILE EXPLORER ... !!!
I think you should try downloading things from a desktop PC for now and Hard RESET your device and try it from start ...
just do it through desktop and then transfer file(s) VIA card reader ... and re-read what mentioned about the sdkcerts.cab ... it is a REQUIREMENT !!

Hi,
I'm having the same problem. My tilt won't let me install any cabs or uninstall anything. It says "installation unsuccessful." I've tried to install sdkcerts.cab and it wont even install that.
Every cabs are diffrent, when you ask for help on certain issues you need to add information as what cab you talking about If you are refering to a homemade cab and get alot of "installation unsuccessful" moust of the comon errors is that you havent digitaly signed the cab, specialy working whit library files this is needed. Cabs rely on OS, diffrent ROM can contain diffrent OS -> meaning the effect can change from successful to unsuccessful installation
I used to be able to install cabs until recently. But now my phone won't let me install ANY cabs whatsoever, regardless of whether i use an exe or a cab. Further, when I try to delete anything through file explorer, I get "Cannot delete...Access is denied." I can delete things through active sync on my desktop though.

Noone here will wave a magic wand for you. How about some decent info on youre issue as phone, rom, spl or not. When did it happend after what? Apps installed and so on. If you cant provide more info or google youreself to an answer on this on I suggest you hard reset youre device.
Same problem here: recently CAB files won't install
I'm using a Kaiser. Here's my ROM etc.
ROM version: Essential WWE
ROM date: 18/04/2010
Radio version: 1.70.19.09
Protocol version: 25.83.40.02H
If I recall correctly, this is the link to the thread where I got this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629593
It's been running just fine, almost flawlessly, since April. But a couple of weeks ago I dropped the phone while getting up in the morning. Just a foot or so, onto thin mock-hardwood flooring, so it bounced a bit. The back cover popped off and out popped the extended battery. Of course there was the usual soft reset after putting things back together and pressing Power... but after this some things looked wrong. I found more and more errors as I tried using the device, so I went to a backup (use Resco Backup) and restored just the registry, choosing the 'stop all programs' option as usual with any whole or partial restore. After what seemed a successful registry restore and soft reset, the device was closer to how it had been, but still not quite 'right' somehow. I haven't had time for more fussing, too much work and family stuff going on, so I just left it at that. Daily PIMbackups offer the most important security for me anyway.
But I do like to use a lot of software, and would like to be able to install CAB files once in a while. Just yesterday I wanted to try Resco Pocket Radio v3.0, but found it wouldn't install. Not any error, just an eternal hourglass with no progress showing on the bar. No way to close out the install dialogue. It runs until soft resetting. I thought at first it was a Resco Radio CAB problem, but trying other known-good CAB files showed that it was the device.
So I'm left wondering what could have gone wrong. The battery has come out before, lots of times when I used to swap between two normal-capacity batteries, before getting this fat battery. Never saw a problem like this. Everything else seems to be working okay. I've had to tweak the odd setting since that glitchy restore, like alarms not sounding until I ran CalNot.exe (found in \Windows, part of the ROM) a few times and reset. Calendar and apMemo and other alarms all worked fine after that known fix. I'm back to an old glitch in the phone software where initiating any outgoing call triggers a loud partial beep. Got rid of that for a long time, but it's back. A bit of skin weirdness too, with plain blue showing up behind the Start Menu instead of my background, but that was easily fixed just running the skin again in Today options.
So there seems to be something a bit weird about CAB files and the Kaiser, for some people and some ROMs. Seems from this thread that it's not a specific ROM in question. I'll keep Googling, but frankly time is at a premium lately and I just don't have much of it for such things, and certainly not for a manual rebuild from a scratch ROM install. That can take me half a day with all the stuff I run. Tried a few times trimming down the software installs, but it's not not comfortable missing programs I've used regularly for years. So I'll live with this CAB problem until business lets up a bit. Unless of course someone comes up with a 'magic wand' to help out. ;-)
Just out today from the HTC site:
http://www.america.htc.com/support/tilt/software-downloads.html
Has anyone installed it? Any thoughts??
Installation went smoothly, but...
I've been experiencing SD CARD2 problems with this ROM...
Had none with the original AT&T ROM.
Further, when I try to install Dutty's or Schaps' comm managers, I receive the following error message:
installation was unsuccessful. the program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions.
What is it?
you need to close comm manager, make sure its not running.
double post......
I don't see COMM MGR in the running programs list
I checked with task manager and memmaid.
How do I close the default comm mgr?
And how come this didn't happen with the previous ROM?
Thanks.

Comm mgr deosn't show up in my task mgr either for some reason...
Go to start/settings/system/memory and look at the Running Programs tab.
Sorry, I DID find the comm mgr running in the backgroud...
And successfully installed the Schaps 10 button one.
But still, I didn't have this issue with the previous standard AT&T ROM.
My tilt already has this rom installed so I dont see anything new it says make sure it is not the same.

This is what shows up on my Tilt after the ROM upgrade
ROM 1.62.502.0
ROM Date 01/17/08
Radio 1.27.14.09
Protocol 22.45.88.07H
After the initial setup, I performed an SR after 3 seconds, in order to prevent the loading of the customizations.
Here's the memory status:
Memory storage: 124.91, in use 10.07, available 114.84
Program memory: 101.38, in use 27.59, available 73.79
The main issue I'm having is the SD CARD2 problem, which has popped up about 10 times in the past few hours.
I performed an HR and reinstalled everything, but it still occurs quite frequently. I had no such issues with the previous ROM.
Possibly there's a setting to be tweaked with the Schaps utility or Kaiser Tweak?

Usually when the SD Card comes up as SD Card 2, your Extended Rom is visible.
Sprite Backup?
Greets,
The AT&T instructions say you can do a Sprite Backup and then Unback it once you install the new ROM. How can that be, though ... won't it mess up all the registry settings required by the new ROM?
When you do a Sprite back-up I'm pretty sure you have the option of unchecking (turning off) backup of the registry.
I hope not

Good gosh I hope that's not true. If we did not back up the registry then 100% of the preinstalled programs would not work once restored, making the process meaningless.

Can you please let me know where you read the new ROM version on that page? I have read and reread and just don't see it. I too see the version that Moddin posted the screenshot of, which is also the version I have currently installed.
Sorry, I'm confused.

Considering the red check marking the box next to "Registry" I would say it is true. If you want to keep your file system intact you should be able to keep the "File System" box checked.
Haven't tried I'm just looking at it and reporting what I see.
almost ready to flash to this rom but i want to backup my sms messages. ive used sprite and copied the backup to my sd card but not sure if it copied over my messages. how do you guys backup sms and mms?
Has anyone tried restoring their stuff with sprite backup after the rom upgrade? I noticed if I restore after the upgrade finishes, my rom version goes back to 1.57.502.2.
Also, has anyone experienced not being able to uninstall java apps after the upgrade? I noticed I can't get rid of all the crap that comes with the AT&T rom; the option is grayed out.
so anyone kno the differences yet??
how is the new radio?
......................
Since MrPippy no longer seems to be maintaining the thread over here, I figured I'd bring the latest way to properly run xdandroid on Touch Diamond CDMA devices. This has been tested on my Sprint Touch Diamond (DIAM500), your device may vary.
Android 2.2.2 (Froyo) for CDMA Diamond
Instructions:
From this xda post, download the XDANDROID build (currently 7/05/11).
From the XDANDROID zip file, extract AndroidApps/, conf/, media/, zImage, haret.exe, system.ext2, initrd.gz, modules-*.tar.gz, and rootfs.img into a directory called /andboot/ directory of your Internal Storage. If you extract the folder FRXnn/ (where the nn is the build) you can rename the folder to andboot/.
If you are using DIAM500 (Sprint's CDMA), navigate to FRXnn/STARTUPS/DIAM/DIAM500 inside the zip file, and extract the file called startup.txt into /andboot/ of your Internal Storage. These contain the necessary instructions for Haret to start Android on the Diamond. There are several other types of Diamond config file to try inside the zip file if you are not using Sprint's Touch Diamond, and should be renamed startup.txt if named differently.
The list of files you should have inside the Internal Storage should now look like:
/andboot/AndroidApps/*
/andboot/conf/froyo.user.conf
/andboot/media/*
/andboot/zImage
/andboot/haret.exe
/andboot/system.ext2
/andboot/initrd.gz
/andboot/modules-*.tar.gz
/andboot/rootfs.img
/andboot/startup.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you want the older way of having everything in / (root) of the Internal Storage, just move everything from /andboot/ and also delete the argument rel_path=andboot from startup.txt.
Unplug the Diamond from the computer, and run /Internal Storage/andboot/haret.exe to start XDANDROID. If you have not done the calibration, there will be a white square with a cross that you will have to click on a few times. On first boot, it will take time for the system to set up the correct APN for data (usually a few minutes). If you get an error saying that no connection can be made, wait until the 3G icon appears on top before doing anything that requires data (Marketplace, etc.)
---
Optional: Download the latest rootfs Zip file from here.
Extract and rename the file rootfs-*.img to rootfs.img, and replace the one already in your Internal Storage.
Optional: Download the latest kernel bzip file from the links in the xdandroid post (several are provided) using 7Zip. Extract the modules-*.tar.gz and zImage.* file to your Internal Storage. You must then rename the zImage-* file to zImage after renaming/deleting the existing one. If you do not do this, Haret will not use the latest kernel file.
Caveats:
If you are running any previous versions of XDANDROID, it is highly recommended that you delete your data.img. This will wipe all your existing apps and data, but you can save your downloaded apps by going into /data/app and/or /data/app-private and copying it to /sdcard, but you need a root-capable file explorer.
GPS takes a while to get a position fix. It is working, but since there seems to be no AGPS support, it may take up to 15 min for the AGPS chip to get a fix on ephemeral data. Running QuickGPS from WM and keeping it updated seems to help a lot.
If you enable smart backlighting in WM, XDANDROID is unable to set the backlight level. Hopefully this will be addressed soon, since other devices (Rhodium, etc.) now has backlight support working.
If you still have trouble running XDANDROID, then make sure you post at least the following: What type of Diamond you have (model #), the startup.txt you are using (open it in Notepad to see the mtype), the build of XDANDROID you are using (along with any rootfs/kernel updates if applicable), and the last thing it does that you can see (ie. Haret reboots WM instead of running XDANDROID). Without this information, it isn't helping you or the person trying to help in order to figure out what may be going wrong.
A lot of information that applied to Andriod 2.1 (Eclair) also applies to 2.2 (Froyo), with the exception of where the files are located (/ vs. /andboot on the Internal Storage). I've kept Eclair-related instructions below.
Android 2.1 (Eclair) for CDMA Diamond Instructions: (for historic reasons)
From this xda post, download the latest XDANDROID build (currently 6/21/10).
From the XDANDROID 7z file, extract AndroidApps/, media/, zImage, haret.exe, system.ext2, initrd.gz, modules-*.tar.gz, and rootfs.img into the root of your Internal Storage. You must use a computer to extract this, none of the WM/Android apps have enough memory to extract the 7z file correctly!
Create (don't copy) a directory called conf/ on the root of your Internal Storage. Now navigate to conf/Diamond inside the 7z file, and extract the file called eclair.user.conf into the conf/ directory. This is important, you should have a file named conf/eclair.user.conf, not conf/Diamond/eclair.user.conf.
If you are using DIAM500 (Sprint's CDMA), navigate to STARTUP CONFIG/DIAM500 inside the 7z file, and extract the file called STARTUP.TXT into the root of your Internal Storage. If you are having problems with Haret restarting WM instead of booting, you can try the one inside CONFIG/DIAMOND100 or rename CONFIG/DIAM-STARTUP.TXT to STARTUP.TXT. Each file has a different MTYPE, and is most likely the cause of failure to boot into XDANDROID. (DIAM500 mtype 2040, DIAM100 mtype 1805, the unknown DIAM-STARTUP one uses mtype 1910)
Unplug the Diamond from the computer, and run haret.exe to start XDANDROID. On first boot, you cannot connect to Google's server until you have entered an APN (regression bug from 6/12/10.) Skip the account stuff for now, go into Settings→Wireless&Networks→Mobile Networks→APN, and create an APN with Name: Internet and APN: Internet. Press the Home key (to bring up the menu), Save, and then select the APN. You should get the 3G icon in a few seconds.

ok so i got it working tho got stuck at the sign in part entered my info and then it kept looping back asking for it again and again found the if you restart it youre all set as for gps got a fix in under 30 secs going to repack the files for anyone who wants it this will work for the sprint touch and touch pro if you want the files let me know be more than happy to email them
Good call on starting the new thread. Kind of strange that Mr. Pippy never said anything before he took off.
For pure convenience, it may be best for the OP to compile a weekly build with all necessary files. Noobs might fare better if babied along and that would also assist in keeping this thread focused on more pressing issues.
I keep running into: "failed to mount the Sd card"
Edit: NVM, found the solution
so ran the new droid all night no hiccups but noticed that the time isnt synced it was off by ten minutes tried out the nav. drove to work looked at the time again it was now off by almost 15 mins maybe someone can enlighten me on this issue or is it just me
The only error I am getting is a keyboard error.
I did all steps as described above but if I run on haret.exe it says something like starting linux... but it just restarts the mobile and windows is starting again...
do you have any glue whats wrong?

This seems to be an issue check the xdandroid thread and search for "clock" (i think theres an app called ClockSync or something)

apparently this is common and its due to the lag at startup of transferring files from the sd card... just press wait and it shouldnt be an issue

wrong startup.txt? you'll needa post more info about the error probably
Fail?
i think its cuz its only diam 500 not all the other cdma´s like diam 100??
(i mean that fail about startup)
Has there been any progress on metro data yet? This is the only reason why i uninstalled it from my phone. There was progress porting the us cellular data which uses proxies like metropcs for the touch with the android. There have also been native droid devices ported to work on metro as well so in theory it should be possible if anyone wants to work on this drop me a pm or discuss it here.
ok there is a issue with haret i for one can vouch for it the new haret.exe does not boot properly i dont know why or what is wrong but i know the issue is around i have a old haret that i use and works great even the new build has the same problem now if i can only fix my clock sync issue ill be happy

this is all i'm waiting for too.
ok found a fix for the clock still no reboots up and running for 26 hours now been unplugs for 7 hours and im at 34 % battery talk time 27 mins and lets say 5 text messages id say thats damn good
Great How-To post, got it working on my Diamond without any issues at all. Learning how to actually use Android is another matter.
notes:
mapping doesn't work, I presume it's because the GPS stuff is not functional
some of the hardware buttons are a bit confusing, just a matter of experience but it will take some getting used to
the device EATS battery power, and gets crazy hot when you start playing with the browser and other Android apps'
lack of any USB connectivity (beyond charging) is sort of limiting, hopefully it will be improved
so far I'm so impressed with XDANDROID, not that I hate Windows mobile but it is a great way to preview Android, especially for people like me who've only use WM.

RE-alive xandroid HTC DIAMOND 500 CDMA

Since MrPippy no longer seems to be maintaining the thread over here, I figured I'd bring the latest way to properly run xdandroid on Touch Diamond CDMA devices. This has been tested on my Sprint Touch Diamond (DIAM500), your device may vary.

This is a pretty easy process. I went in to Root Explorer - dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings, copied settings.db to my sd card, edited it on my pc with a db editor changed 0 to a 1 next to non market apps. Copied it back to the original directory, rebooted and installed a non market app.
Please use caution. If you want to make sure the db save properly open it on your sd card before you copy and replace the original. It should open up as a readable table. If it opens up in a txt editor its corrupt. This permanently enables non market apps. You can not toggle it on and off.
I will try and post pictures soon.
**If this has helped you please consider a donation.**

Does it mean th after this you are able to install any 3rd party application with no restrictions?
Thanks
You can actually do it through firefox too. There's a firefox addon called 'SQLite manager' that you can use to edit the file, if you don't want to download a separate program.
Root Explorer is the pay program on the market? Any free alternitives?
Are you just trying to install non-market apps on the Captivate? If so, then just download the usb driver for the Captivate and then Droid Explorer (may also need SDK installed; not sure). With Droid Explorer, you can easily load non-market apps within seconds. Good solution for a non tech guy like me.
Being brand spanking new to Android, still have question. I like very specific instructions.
Do you download files to whatever directory you want to make and put the files in? Then is there an option to select, and do install? My background is WinMO, so on that you can just use a file explorer and double click or tap, and it installs.

So if I installed "PDAnet" for tethering it will work after rooting?
Thanks for the answer
PDA Net will work without rooting. Just put your phone on airplane mode and enable wifi. Go to the market and download it. Once it is downloaded you can turn off airplane mode and you're good to go.

Where do you see the 0, the one you recommend to change to a 1? I only see lots of squares.
So... Thank you so much for this info. I downloaded your file and put it into the correct DIR and have non market apps installing with no problem. However I can not get Titanium backup to work correctly. =/ When I try to restore an app it says installing and I have to force close titanium to get it to stop. Probably about half the apps I try and do this for install the other backups do not. Is any one else having any issues like this or know how to fix it?

When into this dir dbdata - databases - com.android.providers.settings and cant find any files. Using linda
I used this DB editor instead
http://sqlitestudio.one.pl/index.rvt
connect to the settings.db file, on the left side click Tables, and then click Secure. It will show a grid on the right with _id, name, value etc. Click the Data tab, in the search box type market. And there should be only one value that shows up as "install_nonmarket_apps". Set the value to one. Refersh it and then copy it back to your phone.

How the heck do you do this? I have Droid Explorer installed but not BusyBox. I have Windows 7 and can't figure out how to get BusyBox on my phone. I have rooted the phone but that's about it. in Droid Explorer when I connect to my phone it shows nothing!
With this application you can:
download and edit latest nbh
download latest zImage and configure your default.txt

nand
haret
Sd partition tool works only with latest initrd.lzma
nand user need this download directly from the "net" button.
The sd card partition must have only one partition fat32 formatted
Also this post
Couldn't have been better timing. Glad to see you're takin over as you have a MUCH better idea of what you're doing. I still have a few more days with my kaiser so I'll try to help with anything while I can.
I know it's a lot easier to just use python, but it seems that everybody likes the .exe version of the nbh editor so here's an exe version of atools.
EDIT: Removed. Not updating exe anymore.
anyway you could build in the ability to flash the kernel too like the RUU does im on a Mac and having to flash via a PC kind of stinks
Vibrate while boot and shutdown
I hope there's an option to eliminate the vibrate while boot and shutdown too.
Thanks for this tools, very helpfull...
Looks awesome. Good work. Appreciate the inclusion of zImages and editing. Should be useful.

Does htcflasher not work on Mac?
Sent from my Full Android on Vogue using XDA App
Ive got a sad message for U. When I tick a GPU OC for kaiser, then my phone dont want to boot. Its writing a list of "bad blocks" on the screen and hangs, I cant even reinstall android cuz i get a message about "bad blocks, cant format" or something like that. After flash NBH without GPU OC it seems to be fine...

i wasn't aware of that program until now i just looked for a download for mac all i found was linux and windows downloads, can you point me in a direction i should look for it?
also having everything in one place would still be really awesome, think about it you can adjust a .nbh then flash it without even having to leave 1 program
The problem is that there isn't a cross platform tool and i don't know if it is possible to write it in python.
Python is cross platform and it's way i use it for these tools.

For Alter System and Data Partition, how big the /system will be expand after install ? Can I assume, it would be the same for every builds ?
Or it won't expand at all after install, so I can determine the size just by looking the 'system' folder size ( unpack the .tar ) ?
Thanks.
It depends on distro, so expand the tar file an left some space.
