I have a .nbo file with me on my pc and i want to extract the contents to my computer so that i can use specific apps included in it. Is there any way by which i can extract these files directly to any folder on my computer. I tried looking for various options on the net but nothing worked out. Can anyone help in explaining me how to do it...???

How does one go about extracting the CAB file from a desktop installation EXE file so I can have it with me when I want to Hard Reset ?
When you run setup.exe a folder is created in %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft ActiveSync\ with the cab's
If you unplug your device from ActiveSync, run setup.exe, click start - run and type %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft ActiveSync\ (and press return), locate the new folder, copy the cab file to somewhere else, delete the folder, connect the device to ActiveSync, copy the cab to your storage card and your all set
There is also a program called Universal Extractor that unpacks most stuff - Google it
U can use universal extractor in some cases, or after runnig exe on PC files can be found smwhere in async directory, or it creates folder for itself in Program files (both on PC). Or after it starts installing, dont click anything ad search for *.cab. AFAIK it should work (expcept few apps)
FileJuicer
Filejuicer works for Macs. It is a good program for us mac users to get cab files out of .exe. www.filejuicer.com
I use this program but it doesn't work with all the EXE files. It worked 7 out 10 of the files that I tried to extract the CAB. Give it a try.
Wow ALL great ideas ands methods.
I was able to grab them from the active sync folder.
Duh I should have thought of that I have done that on the other end ( ppc) but not desktop.
Thanks
Hi. I hope I'm posting this in the right section, but how would I install apps on my T-Mo MyTouch 3G Slide, that are offered on this or any other forum? Do I download them to my PC and first start the installation there, somehow? Or how would I do it??
I'm very new to this whole Android world. I just bought my phone.
Thanx for the help!!
Applications in this forum usually comes in the form of .apk's. An apk is an installer file for Android and must be run from the phone.
So you have two options when you find programs here on this forum:
1. You download the file on your PC, connect the phone to your PC and mount the SD-card, copy the file over and run it from your phone
2. Browse to the forums via your phone and download them directly and run them
It can be done via dropbox, chrome2phone, email etc as well if you want to

THANK YOU!!!!
The file that I download, copy in to any folder (Programs ect...) on to your SD card and run the file from the phone, correct? What is the format of that file needs to be? It won't be an *.exe right? What format do I make sure the correct file is? Is there any other ways? Just asking
Thank You!!
You can put it anywhere on the SD-card, just be sure you have some sort of file manager from the market and remember where you put it After that you just run it and it should install (if you get several options when you run the file, the correct one to run it with is "Package Installer").
The files will be in the format programname.apk

Hi all. I just got my Xperia X2 which is my first smartphone ever.
I'm very excited about it but my Lock Slider is rather slow.
I browsed a bit and found a few possible solutions but how do I install applications like this? This is what I want to download for my phone at the moment, but can someone please tell me how I extract it properly? And how to send it to my phone in the easiest way?

Howdy there,
Though I do not have any experience with your phone, I would;
1. download any give utility I wanted via my Personal Computer and then
2a. plug tha phone in my PC via USB (set it to 'Diskdrive') and copy the file(s) or
2b. plug tha phone in my PC via USB (set it to 'ActiveSync') and copy the file(s) or
2c. unplug the SDCard and stick it into my 72+1_Cardreader and then copy the files or
1b/2d. download everything via my phone (while using 'Compact View').
Start using http://filext.com if you do not know what to do with certain file extentions. Like;
pdf, arj, rar, zip, 7z
Anyway know that *.cab files can be installed on your smartphone via its file browser.
Success ,
What utility is prefered? I got no clue at all really. :-( And when I'm clicking on your shortcut "Compact View" it just goes to the home-page of forum.xda? Why is that? :-|
Compact View is for use with your phone.
Did you visit your phone's specific site here on XDA?
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 runs on Windows Phone 6.5, meaning there are a whole host of apps you can download onto it.
You can install additional applications on your phone, but they must be compatible with Windows Mobile version 6.5.3.
It is possible to remove the applications that you have installed, but you cannot remove applications that come with the phone.
To install an application use Explorer (find it in Program Files);
Download the application to your PC
If the application file is in compressed format, such as .zip, first extract the file
Read any installation instructions or documentation that comes with the application
Connect your phone to the computer with a USB cable.
[*]Double-click the application file (usually of .exe format (use ActiveSync to install)) to start the installation. If it is of .cab format then copy the file to your phone and tap (and hold) the file from your phone to start installation.
How do I setup ADB and or other software to be able to run and install apks on my tablet from my PC? I am an android newbie. Any pointers to existing documentation will be appreciated. Do i need to download the android SDK? Currently I just copy apks over using usb and either put them in system/app or install them from the sd card directly.
Also pointers on how to backup rom and apps would be appreciated. Can I just use Titanium backup on a per app basis? What about system files?
The answers to all your questions already are in these Forums!
But for getting started, until you do something to get Android Martket working, you can download .apk files to your PC. Connect the PC and Netbook, and then copy the .apk over to the "Download" directory on the G-Tablet. If there's not a "Download" directory, the use the PC to make one.
The disconnect and open the ES File Manager on the tablet. Go to the "Download" folder and run the .apk.
Read some of the other threads on how to get the Market working and you will be home free.
Enjoy!

Hello.
Everytime i start the SDK MANAGER it uses internet and reads two files from internet which are
1. addons_list-1.xml
2. repository-5.xml
from these links
https//dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/addons_list-1.xml
https//dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository-5.xml
But i have those two files on my hard disk. I kept those two files in the root of the C drive of my windows7 PC.
Now what should i do such that the SDK MANAGER stops searching the internet for those files and starts reading those files from my hard disk.
REASON FOR ASKING THIS:
I generally download the contents of sdk as zip packages. After downloading i extract the few packages i know to their corresponding directories. In some cases i dont know the path where the zip file has to be extracted. For that i keep the zip file in temp folder of android sdk , and then update the contents of sdk manager, and then disconnect the internet , and then select the install option. It installs to their directories.
But i want to do it in a complete offline computer. So how can i update the list of sdk manager without using internet.
