Application not showing in Programs list

Hi,
I have an application that i can run (its an exe file) when i click it in File Explorer, but it runs but does not appear in the Programs list in WM6.
The application is called Stoptime from Jonathon Sachs of dl-c.com
Anyone know how i can rectify that?
Regards
Gavin
edit: i figured it out. By the way its an exellent stop watch application.

You can just tap and hold on it in File Explorer and tap "Copy" then in File Explorer go to My Device --> Windows --> Start Menu --> Programs and paste it in there.

the exe file has to be installed through activesync.

Not necessarily. Sometimes an app is downloaded as an EXE and you run it on your PC and it installs via ActiveSync. But sometimes you download an EXE and it is supposed to run on the phone.

If you use the file explorer to make a shortcut to the exe rather than copying the exe, you don't have to copy any dependencies across.

I tried this first before posting this topic, and after reading some instructions, learnt that the only way to get it to appear in the Programs list is to install it via Activesync.
note: i recall that some one was able to extract the cab file (from exe files needing to be installed via activesync) from the installation so that future installs can be achieved without activesync.

Opera 9.7.36000

New Opera version: download
You know the drill... unpack and copy opera9.exe over the opera9.exe in the \windows folder (preferably using Resco File Explorer)
Changelog: don't know
Is it better than other versions: find out yourself

thank you

Thanks very much

Thanks dude.

You have to extract the Opera9 file and copy directly to Windows.
It is all.
Best Regards,

Hi, what you have said is a bit vague. the extrated file from the download is an exe file so dnt i need to run it once i copy it over? and what windows directory? do you mean the windows folder on the device memory? not the opera9 folder in the windows directory?
so your asking i copy the exe file into the windows folder on the device memory and just run the exe? is that what i do?
please explain properly (full file path and instructions)
Thank you very much

Yes you have to copy Opera9 file to the Windows device memory, then you will be asked to overwrite, so you should tam yes.
Afterthat you can normally run Opera web browser but in new version.

Much faster doing what? Page loading times are about your internet connection are they not?
Faster optimization, screen rotation? Pleaze post !

I copied the file overiding the original and when I try to start opera, it says "Opera Loader" with a red cross which when pressed it exits...
Any thoughts?

I deleted the existing Opera.exe file from the Windows folder and copied this one, but the app won't start. I think it has something to do with the attributes of the new exe file. The ROM attribute is ghosted. Any ideas?
Thanks

Procedure is clear to me. Just overwrite .exe file with new .exe file
But to spare me hazzle and spending one day to revert: does this change my opera-settings which I tweaked in operaconfig or goof them by incompatibility ?
Does this new build support flash better than the old one ?
What EXACTLY can the new build better than the old one ?

I have similar questions,my opera is skinned and as troed mentioned
several operaconfig tweaks including having moved the Cache.
Anyone know whether these will all need re-doing if we upgrade
to newer version ?
In short is it worth the effort just to have a different version number ?

Hey Bobsbbq, do you mean the thumbnail not populating a page image? If so, yes I have. The only way I've found to get the image to show up is to open each favorite site in IE.

[Q] fastes way to copyy from WINDOWS dir

What is the fastes way to copy files from WINDOWS-folder from my Phone to my laptop?
Cause when I try to open the Windows dir it takes ages to read it out.
Also when I try to copy multiple files I get an Error, but not if I copy one file
The other question is:
In what manilla file are the graphics located for Sense (Cookies Home tab installed)
Is there a list available?
Thanks

Fastest way is for me doing a full Backup with SPB Backup and then read this Backup on PC with the provided SPB Backup Explorer.

Maybe,

It depends on what you will sir; if you will changed some graphics (manilla file) you can used cfc_GUI; its a free prog. and its useful and simple.
you can find a way fore download; and how to use by taking a look on a friend's wonderful thread fore that.
"°°how to figure out wich manila file is for what°°"
Using together with M9Editor, helps you a lot more.
But like I mentioned; it depends on what you will do.

and then use method of previous post (cfg-gui)

Thank you very much
But I get this Error after importing the manilla files:
It says "Done" in the import list but I can't see any files, just this Error

[Q] I'm new to this world. How do I install apps from here?

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

Find Bluestacks SD Card Location in Your PC

Q. Whats Bluestacks?
A. Bluestacks is a Silicon Valley-based software company that produces BlueStacks App Player and BlueStacks Cloud Connect. Both products revolve around enabling Android applications to run on Windows PCs, Macintosh computers and Windows tablets. The company was founded in 2009 by Rosen Sharma, former CTO at McAfee and board member of Cloud.com.
Steps To Find SD Card in your PC
First Download 'Root Explorer' (Included Below) and Install 'Root Explorer' in Bluestacks
Decide on which directory to give access in BlueStacks. You can either choose an entire hard drive, or a particular folder of your choice.
Access the Windows Registry by going to Start >> Run and type in 'regedit' and hit Enter. This opens up the Registry Editor.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\ SharedFolder\0.
Right Click on 'Path' and click on 'Modify'.
Write the path of the folder which you want to include in SD card. (Example C:\SDCard)
Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
You can find the folder at '(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/ BstSharedFolder/'
Note
If u don't wanna change your Registry, You can simply copy and paste the file's that you want in SD Card at 'C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder\' and find the files at above location in Root Explorer (ie '(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/ BstSharedFolder/').

Open Root Explorer and go to one of the following location.
(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/BstSharedFolder/
(Root)/mnt/sdcard/bstfolder/BstSharedFolder/
If it still not working then reply with the screen shot of root explorer (in /bstfolder)

"Write the path of the folder which you want to include in SD card"
What do you mean?
Anyways... I wanted to find and open the obb folder. How?

There is no such folder "User data" in "C/program files/bluestack/".
I want to install game data. What to do?
I have installed root explorer & running latest blue stack. Installed yesterday only.
****************************************************
UPDATE : Let it bro. I change the registry & that solved the problem.
Actually i dont want to do that. But, couldn't wait to play games....

you guys should really read more than write. Just like OP said if you dont want to modify registry then just goto
C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder\
and paste your file there

Has anyone noticed that this shared folder has limited functionality when trying to transfer files from Bluestacks to the PC? It seems like if I try to copy something larger than ~300 megabytes Bluestacks will freeze up. Titanium backup is also unable to successfully use that shared folder as a backup location (also freezes up). I'm trying to find a good way to sync my app data (or at least transfer the Titanium Backup backups to my PC). Any ideas?

How to copy file from window to Bluestack or Bluestack to window
1) download and intall root explorer on your phone
2) go from your computer
3) My Documents/Downloads and paste there any files
4) now open root explorer n go to this path: sdcard/windows/documents/downloads
5) you will find your file under "Downloads"
so the folder "Downloads" is the only path through which files can be transferred between window(computer) and bluestack..

i cant find the iserdata folder in c:/programefiles/bluestacks
