I've downloaded the lil'messeger free app from the marketplace and it has been since removed from the marketplace. Is there anyway I can extract the xap file so that when nodo comes i can reinstalled the app?
you shouldn't lose any apps or data when you upgrade
yeah but is there a way to extract the xap? i want to keep a backup copy just in case
Rename it to .zip, and extract it.

Thanks but no thanks. You completely missed the point.
What i wanted to do was to extract the xap file FROM my wp7.

Use Advanced Explorer. Go into "My Device/Applications/Install/" and open every folder and take a look at the " backround.jpg" until you find the icon of your app. Then send every file in the folder to your pc.
Then pack it as a .zip and rename it as a .xap .

I.e. a place to work on how to extract xaps from omnia 7.
A) There are forums for device-specific questions.
B) There are forums for general (non-development) questions.
C) There are tools for filesystem access that should work on the Omnia 7 (I don't have one; I can't test). The instructions are the same, though the app and exact steps are different. Also, Advanced Explorer has experimental support for Samsung devices now.

Is the file in the form of a .cab or .exe? Is the first question. If cab you have to get it moved from your computer to your device through active sync. If the file is an .exe then you need to sync up your device with Active Sync and then run the exe file from your computer and it should install for you, follow the on screen instructions.

If you look apparently no one answered it.
1) Unzip the file to get a .CAB file.
2) Place the .CAB file on your phone (using explore on your computer's ActiveSync).
3) Using file explorer on your phone, run the .CAB file, this will install it.
4) Go to your settings, Today options and remove all plugins from the today screen, but add the plugin for ultimate launcher.
5) On the main screen, use the blue UL icon to customize the program.
Here is a you-tube video that shows some info on how to customize it:

I guess he's using the shotgun approach(Not the person on this forum the weapon) it's bound to hit something.
LOL it seems the only slug to hit though is in the far side of the forum that is as far away from cutting and pasting as you can get.
First. Unzip the file and extract it onto your desktop. If you have a storage card in the phone then when you connect the phone open up the "Mobile Device" option and go into "My Mobile Device" then selct "Storage Card" Try saving the extracted cab file into there

What does this have to do with Kaiser ROM Development. Maybe this thread would be better suited in the Kaiser Software forum. Just a thought!!!

so i extract but where do i put it? Files?
Hello everyone. Although n00bs aren't allowed here, I do want to ask you a question that might be very n00bish. And maybe a little inappropriate. Or asked in the wrong section of this forum.
But here it goes: I want to try and edit a savegame for a game on my HTC Hero (baseball superstar 2010). So, first I tried to locate where all the files for this game could be installed on my phone. I did not succeed.
But with help from this forum, I found out that I might find the files by using Astro File Manager. I can use this app to click on the .apk from the game, that I have on my sdcard, and then choose the option 'browse file'. There, I find a lot of files! So, the first problem is solved.
The second problem is, that I cannot edit any of the files I then find. And I cannot find a file that has the datestamp of today, or yesterday, when I last played the game. Shouldn't there be a very recent file with the saved game data in it somewhere?
For me, it would be a lot easier if I could browse the apk on my desktop with a simple explorer. But if I hook up my sd-card to my pc, I cannot open the .apk. How can I accomplish this?
I hope I gave a decent description of my problems, and hopefully anyone can help me with A) finding out which file to edit B) how to open or edit this file and C) what to edit!
Thank you all in advance for your time and patience.
Use 7zip to open/extract the .apk file. You can use winrar too, but I like 7zip better. I'll try to find a link in a minute, or you can always google it if I don't post back quick enough for you.
Your questions are reeallly noobish ;-P
Apk files store libraries and other static files of your applications - there you could find images, texts, code, etc., but not runtime data like savegames. Look into /data/{package-name}/ - you could find package name in many places, I think it's in Settings -> Manage applications, but I'm not sure.
Very noobish yes
I have done something in the meanwhile, and that is: buy the real deal from the market. I no longer seem to have the .apk, but that should be no problem. Now the real game is officially installed onto my phone.
But ... where? I have tried looking in /data with my file managers, but they say that the folder is empty! So... where are my apps installed then? They must be on my phone somewhere. Do I have to root my phone in order to see anything in the /data/folder?

I'm not sure, but I think so. This directory is read-protected, so apps can't steal data of other apps. And I've mistaken: it's /data/app/{package-name}.
Hmmm. Do you know a good way to do that? I have a HTC Hero with the 2.1-update1 firmware (so my phone tells me!).

I think I'm correct in saying yes. I use RootExplorer and can see my apks in data/app, but if I use AndExplorer I can't.

Hi There,
I've opened another thread to stop the clutter, but: I have installed Root Explorer and used (I thought) Universal Androot to root my mobile phone. It did install Superuser, but when I open Root Explorer, I don't get a prompt to put it on the superuser list... so nothing seems to work. Do you know what I should do, and how I can do that?

You might be best searching your phones forum for a solution unless someone can offer you help here.
Iirc, savedata and settings would be in /data/data/com.gamevil.bs2010/
probably in a folder named "files".
start by looking in there.
other apps would be in /data/data/[packagename]
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

That would have been perfect if the program you built worked. Thank you very much but I am going to have to seek another solution. Every time I try to use the IsoStoreSpy, the software crashes.
UPDATE
@contable and when I try your method, the application deployment program tells me the XAP is invalid.

My .xap file is working well on chevron unlocked devices, so it should also work on developer unlocked devices.
I can deploy the file with the official deployment tool or WPV xap deployer 1.5.
When I unzip the XAP and change any of the XML files is when it decides the XAP file is invalid. I can upload the original file.

I have changed the xml files inside the xap 1000 times.
Did you change the file extension from .xap to .zip before unzipping ?
Here are the steps
1. Unzip files after renaming extension to .zip
2. Update XML
3. Rezip files with 7zip
4. Rename file extension to .xap

I use Winrar not 7zip...
Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
same result using winrar compression
is there another way to deploy apps?
Anyone have any suggestions?
Are you on Mango or NoDo? If Mango you have to do some reg edits when you get to Mango or you can't side load unsigned apps (I think; I could be wrong).
I was trying to be able to do what is described in my first post of this thread. Those tweaks can be applied and carried into Mango, I am currently on NoDo. About to give up though

purchased apps can be turned in to XAPs IF you have interop unlock, they must be paid for and installed from the marketplace
if your trying install paid for apps that you do not own then this isn't he place for you

If you installed the xap from Marketplace in proper way (like it should be installed) - you already have it extracted on your phone (see \\Applications\Install\....). If the phone is unlocked - just copy needed folder to PC and that's it. DRM and other scary JAFAs have nothing to do about it.
