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!!!

[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

[Q] How to extract xap file?

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.

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.

Possible to download files on device?

Is it possible to download files (RAR) on the device using internet and transfer it later to the PC? I don't think its possible in stock ROM but perhaps an App or something.
My device is Dev+Interop unlocked.

if you find where ie9 stores temporary downloaded file, like pdf, mp4 ecc ecc, i can tell you how to complete the download, and, once completed, tranfer the file to the pc...

It's very possible (download any file that fits to handset's isolated storage file from your homebrew app, and transfer that file to PC using ISETool.exe) but why not use cloud file storage such as SkyDrive, DropBox etc.? If you have no experience with DropBox, click on link in my signature; it's very simple and useful

Yes it is possible to download files. I do it with ultrashot's Opera Mobile port which allows you to select the location of the downloaded files and transfer it using Gooddaytodie's Webserver

Opera Mobile requires full-unlock, so that's not an option for the OP.
Downloaded files typically go to \Application Data\Volatile\<SUBFOLDER> where <SUBFOLDER> depends on where and how they were downloaded (IE, email attachment, etc.).
If you look at the source for my XapHandler app, you'll see how an app can register a filetype. You'd need to do this, or the phone will simply refuse to download extensions that it doesn't recognize (hmm... I wonder if a .* handler would work?)

If Opera Mobile can do, then perhaps some other browser can do that too? Metro internet explorer doesn't work

All the browsers that are based on the IE engine will be unable to do it until the necessary registry keys in HKCR are created. An app can manually download from a URI and save the resulting file, but in the WebBrowserControl if the user clicks a link to a file the handling for what to do with the file is the same as on IE.

yes I can see why it doesn't work. So, does an app like that exists in the MP?

No. And nobody here not even meant marketplace. Interop-unlock + homebrew only.
BTW, could you share with us your scenario: why do you need to download rar archive to the phone and transfer to the PC? I still can't achieve why do you need things like this.

well the thing is, sometimes I need to download files which may take a while to download completely. So, I can download on the go with the cellular data and then transfer to PC when home. Sometimes the file download is completed in the time same as reaching from work to home.

ok, i'll solve the mistere the only thing u need to do is to add a reg key in hkcr , it will be called .rar for rar files etc...then insisde it u create a string that names Default, the value is rarfile
u go back to hkcr, and create a key that is called rarfile, inside it u will create a dword named EditFlags and with the value of 65536
that's all, now you need to know where ie9 stores data...

I don't know if it'll work or not but can you guide the how-to. I can edit the reg-edit using MFG. It has following options:
Root Path
Sub Path
Input key and type
Input data
Just confirming as incorrect reg edit can render unstable.

Oh, I see... Seems like India still have a "last mile" problem and your cell connection is more reliable and faster than home internet. For countries with fast broadband home internet connection this "feature" just have no sense.

ok, this is what you have to do:
-open mfg, engineer menu, other settings, edit registry

SET
-without closing
root path: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

Download ODIN here: http://d-h.st/UO0. It sounds like you may have already done this. Extract it to your desktop. I'm assuming you have already installed the Samsung Drivers here:http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I535MBBVZW. Install those if you haven't already. Download this file from the thread: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390214368362234355. Extract it to your desktop. Turn off your phone. Open Odin307 folder on your desktop and run Odin3 v3.07.exe. Put the phone into download mode by following second step in the thread: Put phone into download mode [with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3.tar.md5 you downloaded.
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and
when done let phone reboot.

ok so i have odin i have the drivers and downloaded the root66 file both the non wipe and wipe versions and both dont allow me to put it in pda, i get a warning msg basically saying where the file is located followed by the name of the file and then special characters that look like boxes. thats where im stuck with this process.

Do you have 7-zip or WinRAR installed? You have to extract the file out of the root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3.7z that you downloaded. The file you need to put in the PDA section in odin will be called root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3.tar.md5. That is the wipe version that I would recommend you use. The no-wipe verson file to use in odin in the PDA section is called root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3_nowipe.tar.md5.

Reflash none-wipe root66 is the right approach, you need to download and installed 7zip to your xp. Use 7zip to unzip your root66zip file, then use Odin to flash. Seems like the file is corruppted that's why Odin is not seeing the file name. Once you get this file name issue fixed, you should able to flash the zip.

nfc still works, i got nfc tags everywhere and tested them and are 100% operational.
as for the root file, i downloaded winrar onto xp to unzip the file, there are 10-15 files in it, i dont know which 1 to tack onto pda. what is 7zip? is that an extractor?

7zip is best extractor for. zips...
Sent from an Apple killing JellyBean

Double click the root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3.7z which should open it in WinRAR. If that doesn't do it open WinRAR and then select that file. There should only be one file inside to extract named: root66_VZW_I535VRBLK3.tar.md5. That is the one to use in the PDA section of odin. If WinRAR won't do it (it works fine for me), install 7-zip and extract it with that.
