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.

THIS I HAVE NOTICED TOO
I tried to install a game my friend was developing on 3 devices and no dice. I thought it was a registry setting but evidently no.
Is there a registry edit to regulate app size?
yes, same problems , anyone know how to fix that , please share the trick
I didn't notice this. I'm going to check when I get home.
Sent using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
yeah i noticed it too
for these big xaps, i just install them with a smaller size and then install the big files with touchxperience or another phone->file-manager

could you explain your process a lil bit more? dont really get it ^^;
ok
First I extract the .xap into a folder. Next thing is to open the xap and remove the large files and look which guid the app has in the manifest.xml .
Install .xap . Now we use TouchXperience or Advanced Eplorer to copy the files into Applications/Data/guid/* and voila. extra-big-xap is installed
Holy Smoke °_°!
Thanks for the hint, gonna try that one out~
Man... this question was asked by me before already ... i guess i wasnt specific enough on my title ><
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020532
and i also checked the folder structure...
it seems the file was deployed to Application/install/GUID/Install
well thats where i found the deployed files
AND IM HAPPY TO SAY IT TOTALLY WORKS!! YAYYYY THANKS FOR DISCOVERING THIS METHOD!!!
Hm didnt work for me ^^;
May I ask for a step by step guide?
File transfer is extremely slow, i'm getting old transfering 200MB apps....
If the game only has 1 big file, you can use the usb trick for windows, your files will be then in my document / zune /content / ...
I cause that problem too, but when I tried installed 2 files (with small file size) in same times that working
but i fail the method delete big file in xap and installed
by the way I don't found XDA app for WP7. I search for a week and my eye nearly blind thanks
yay... I success install big xap to my phone. method delete big file is working but copy file to phone is need to wait for age
There is a MUCH easier method. Simpy deploy using Homebrew Marketplace found here:

Thanks, i'll reupdate to NoDo and try it out
EDIT: not working
On what OS did you try? did you use the MS dev tools or ConMan libs?
I used Dev Tools with this program. I deployed Guitar Hero 5 (212 MB) as a test and it worked. The Harvest also gave me no problems.
Edit: Now I tried it again and got a timeout error. Then I launched Windows Phone Device Manager 1.2 and deployed again with Homebrew Marketplace and in worked. Weird
Edit 2: My desktop OS is Windows 7.
This method is if everything fails (quite tedious).... it worked for me every time so far
You need:
- Unlocked phone
- TouchXperience (Windows Phone Device manager) or advanced explorer (So that you can transfer files from PC to Phone)
1. Make a copy of the .xap file (just in case u screw it up)
2. Open the .xap file with winrar
3. Extract everything into a New folder
3. Find the file "WMAppManifest.xml" - open it and check the "productID", record this number down
3. By using winrar, delete files inside the .xap file until you have around 20mb left of the .xap file (Make note of what you deleted it, i usually just delete the content folder)
4. Deploy the modified .xap file
5. Now by using Touchexperience, transfer the files u deleted into the following destination in ur phone: (Just in case u forget, you have already extracted all the files previously, so find the deleted files from there)
Applications\Install\"Product ID"\Install
(make sure the folder structures remain the same as it was in the .xap file)
6. And you are done
I hope i was clear with this!!~~

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).

Hello,
I've got a HTC 7 Trophy (also called Spark or T8686) with Windows Phone 7.5 (7720) and TouchXplorer doesn't work in this version.
I tried to use TouchXperience's File Manager and Windows Phone Device Manager (1.8.0.0 public beta) and it doesn't work well.
In WPDM, when I transfer a mp3 file it return me an error. With folder I can create them but can't delete them.
Anyone knows another File Manager/Explorer does work in my HTC? (I tried WP7 Root Tools but it only work with Samsungs mobiles).
Thank you

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.
