I'm trying to find a way to copy XAP files off my Windows Phone to replace the icons with custom ones. I can't figure out how to do this though. Someone suggested Advanced Explorer, but it's not working for me (it seems to work, but I can't find the Install folder that Apps are supposed to be in). I'm using a Samsung Focus (v1.3) running 8107, dev and interlop unlocked. Is there anything I can use to do this?

I have an AT&T tilt device and have replaced the phone skin on my device by editing the images on the phone. I can manually put the rebuilt files back on the phone without error. Everything works fine. I'v created a cab file install, to change the images in a more automated fashion. This also is working; however, the install is then recorded by the device and with each following install I'm warned of the already existing app. Keep in mind I'm not adding or removing any files just overwriting them. My questions are as follows.
Is there any way to install the files without the device recording the install?
Is there a way to supress the warning messages about the already installed software.
Is there a way to prompt the user to restart the device after an install.
i have never done these things myself (except removing the warning through a reg edit)
but they may be possible through "cab manager" here
I am using cab manager to create the cab files, I guess I was hoping someone with more experance with it could point me in the right direction.
Does anyone know where i can find a listing of the at&t cab files in the windows directory that are installed during the initial start-up? Im just looking to see which cab files install was, such as the mall, or music, for example. Not that i plan on needing them but after searching the internet for a couple days now it would be nice to learn how to bring the phone back to at&t specs. Thanks.

You can hard reset and not skip the bloat or you can go into the windows directory and sort the files by their type.
But what if you want a couple at&t programs on there?

1. Open up File Explorer
2. Go to the /Windows directory
3. Sort files by type
4. Locate the .cab files
5. Choose which apps you want to install
If you are trying to bring the phone back to ATT spec (to sell or to send it back for support), the best way is to flash using an ATT stock ROM. They are posted on the ROM development forum, here is one on the front page. Since its an official ROM you dont have to mess with HardSPL or anything of that matter, it should just flash the phone.
If you are trying to get the best performance out of your Fuze, I would suggest flashing your phone with a custom ROM.
after i delete certain apps i downloaded sometimes they leave behind a file that cant be deleted no matter what i do. for example i downloaded PointUI home but didnt like it so i deleted it using add/remove programs in system settings. everything was deleted except for a small file called 2001. it wont delete and ive tried everything. until i find a way to do so it still shows up in add/remove programs. i have 4 such apps that wont go away because of that same problem. i have an htc snap on sprint running windows mobile 6.1 if that helps any. im stumped! any help would be greatly appreciated
try SKTools....
i have sktoolslite but im unsure if itll let me delete them. i had issues deleting those programs and sktoolslite deleted most of those files except for that one file. i look in the windows folder under app manager and the folders for said apps are still there with that one stubborn file in each folder. again. any help would be appreciated
I don't know what those files are, but if you test cabs frequently, then sk tools is a good way to install them (use the cab manager, select install w/ sk tools). It does a better job of removing programs (go to installed programs, do a deep scan and uninstall).
For now, you may fix the problem by using the installed programs tool and removing uninstall info (if the apps appear there). To get rid of the files in \windows, try checking for replaced rom files and restoring to original. You may need to add the proper extensions in settings.
it keeps saying that the file is a system file and if deleted the phone wont work properly. when i try to delete anyway it tells me i cant . access is denied. be certain that the program is not write protected and not currently in use. before that it would say problem deleting file
bump. anyone else experience something similar? if so then how did you deal with it?
Hi all, how can I get a file from windows phone 7 such as the camerasettingsmanifest.XXXX.xml or others. My phone is Omnia7. With WP7 Root Tool, I can browse and operate files in this system on the phone, but I don't know how to get them out. Anyone can help me? Thanks.
Install schaps WPDM, explore to the file you want, copy it on the phone to My Documents folder on the phone (as if it is being used by the system you cannot transfer it directly to your desktop), and then transfer that to your PC.
Gr8，thank you so much!
No Problem - here is the link (you need to be on NoDo; no Mango support yet).

Ok, so my old android phone broke. I used an app called "Keepsafe" on it and had a few important images I need back. Luckily, the app saved onto my SD card so I have access to the encrypted .ksd files. The only way around this (at least that I've found) is to use another phone to install keepsafe, replace its main folder with the old main folder, and then view the files from the phone. I don't have another phone I could use, so I was wondering if this would be possible using an Android VM like Genymotion. I tried doing this myself, but I'm lost. Any help would be appreciated!

try this, download BlueStacks to your pc, this is an adroid emulator, only transfer files to computer, you heve playstore on this emulator, download keepsafe, and convert files to his original extension, good luck
