Age of Empires, Need For Speed, other old pda games

Hi,
Trying to install these games, but didnt had luck succeeding.
As Example, I Install Age Of Empires via pc (running aoe.exe), after this InstallShield setup pops up, everythings cool, setup completes and then, by default, ActiveSync Add/Remove programs pops up, and by default it would show the message "see your device screen for aditional information installing the program"...But it doesn't! It just shows installed programs, like in normal "remove programs" option, and also, no signs of installing any kind of programs on my device too.
Dont know what's the problem, of course these games are mainly built for WM5 (Im running WM6), they're pretty old, but strange thing, I got Worms, which are same old as these, to work!
If this is useful, my device is SE Xperia X1, Windows version 6 (as mentioned before)

windows install exes are often just selfextracting zip files you can try to rename it
to zip and see if you can open it and just copy out the cab file yourself
or do a search of your pc hd like the install dir of the pda program
as there is always a cab file somewhere
transfer it to your pda and run it from there and see if it helps

Well tried to do it as you said, err..Still no effect.
You see, actually when I run the setup, and it says it's succesfully installed, I see no sign of files on my xperia, storage card program files/ device itself, it just doesnt transfer any files (or .cab's) to my device.
Btw, renamed .setup to .zip , you were right - its just a compressed file

As you see, 3 .cab's, whose, I guess, must be installed with setup..
Anyway, no success here
Maybe there is another way?

Opera Mini 5 Final (not beta) +jbed

install 2009VGAJavaAndOperaMini5Beta2(if not installed)
install opera-mini-5.0.18635-advanced-en (final)
run opera mini final and exit java
Copy the file \windows\appdb\selector.utf to your PC
(make sure backup this file first in case something goes wrong!)
Remove read-only attribute
Extract the file “sign_operamini.exe”
from my zip to the same folder and run it.
It will patch the selector.utf and create a backup too.
Now replace the selector.utf file in the pocket PC with the patched.
Create the shortcut manually using any text editor. Shortcuts have the file extension ".lnk". So, for example, lets create a file in a text editor, and save it with the file name OperaMini.lnk, the contents of the file should look similar to this :
Code:
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_
DONE

I think this is already covered in the Opera Mobile/Mini all versions thread. Plus I think the Opera Mini 5 native for WinMo is a better option.

this i not beta. you are talking about the beta 2 version and wm opera has many problems. sorry my bad english

Thanks,
This will be posted on the Official Opera thread

I like almost everything in opera mini 5, but some nice functions still missing..., like:
- copy link command from another application doesn't have support for "paste" into the operamini;
- missing flash content player support (for animated images on most websites).
Skyfire web explorer has almost everything it's needed and it's free . The only thing in skifire that needs to be improved is scrolling the page like operamini, very smooth and quick .

I cant download this. says virus alert. and shuts down. Just wanted to let you know.
edit: got it downloaded on my home pc. thanks!

A. Rooted device.
B. App2SD
C. Busybox
2. Usage.
A. After rooting , install a app2sd.. [do not move a apps to SD. just install]
B. select a app , which is big size, sometime using, but do not want remove.
C. move a only APK to SD card. and make a symbolic link by this apps.

the file status is "lrwx" then, "l" menas "symbolic link" , "r" => "read able". "w" => "write able", "x" => "execute able"

is it just me...
but if i download it, and try to run the apk, it tells me "cant open file" o.o

Works for me on HTC magic 32b running froyo, many thanks.

I don't know why, but I can open all folders I want except /mnt/sdcard. I get a FC when trying. On filemanagers I can open /mnt/sdcard with success.
Using a HTC Desire, rooted and S-off.

Installed and works for me, but it shows my /data/app/ folder as empty.
I have apps2sdext so it should follow the link...
As a workaround I can browse to /sd-ext/app just fine.

Only for Froyo devices right? I'm running 2.1, has anyone figured out how to move apps 2 sd on 2.1? (stock kernal)

Can I change boot screen also from the root?

does not work with my mytouch 4g... had to busy the market version instead

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I'm having a problem moving apps to my SD card. I go into rooted explorer and copy the .apk, I move into the /system folder but there is no SD folder. Everything else looks the same as the screen shot except I'm missing the SD folder. Any ideas?

[Q] APK OneClick v4.2 help

First off I will say this is the greatest tool I have ever came across and I am thankful for anyone that ad hand in its production. The tool of course is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873466 and it has been working great for me. But earlier today I used winrar to open a com apk file and edit a specific txt file however I accidentally didn't un-click the "use as default program" box and now right-clicking and apk file will not display the decompile option or install to phone option any longer. I figured since the default program had been changed it was not being recognized by one click apk any longer so I deleted the default program for the apk file type in the registry and uninstalled then re installed the shellext for APK_OneClick however the right-click apk options still will not show. I can recompile folders to APKs but nothing else. Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated and thanks in advanced it is driving me crazy.
I am assuming my problem is fro the whole winrar accident as the icon provided with OneClick no longer is displayed for apk files either I just can't solve the issue.
