Considering I saw the word "mate" I assume you speak english, but trying to read that post you made, makes my head hurt
if you are trying ot install a .cab file, the easiest way seesm to be to ActiveSync your phone, on the menu hit "explore" and copy the .cab to a location such as my documents or the Storage Card if you have one. Then, on your phone, open up the program "File Explorer" and navigate to the locatoin you copied the file and click on it. It should then try to install, and I suggest installing the program to the phone memory if possible, thne it should be available if the install went ok. Hope that helps....

Hi guys,
I've got an XDAII and I want to be able to see / edit the extended rom...
I've found the cab files I need (elsewhere in this forum) but I have no idea whatsoever how to use them?!?!
I can't run them, so there must be either an app I need or somewhere I need to put them, right?
Please help
Thx
Have you transfeered the cab file to your phone and executed from there?
It's a cab file. You put it on the XDA II in a folder of your choice, then run it, after reboot you will find a new icon in Programs. The rest is simple. :wink:
When I try to run it I get:
The is no application associated with "00unhide". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application.

Please post the link to the exact file so I can download and test it.
I just got it working...
After I downloaded the .cab, as I have WinRar I thought that it was something that needed extracting and it didn't!

that's the link anyway, but it works perfectly!
Sorry for being such a idiot
No problem, hope its all sorted for you now.

dcd V2.3.1
I'm a noob and it took me awhile to figure it out too. I created a new empty folder on the desktop. Then using Winzip or Winrar (or whatever zip program you use) select all files and EXTRACT them into the empty new folder you created on your desktop. Then run the .bat file you see (buildos or something like that). There will also be a bunch of additional folders inside your new folder...don't worry about those. The program pretty much runs itself after that. You can pick some options...then click the small green arrow in the menu bar and some stuff happens in the background....finally it will produce your ROM and you follow the onscreen intructions from there.
Kinda on the same note ... can other aps be added to the rom? ie ... say Handbase, SPB Pocket plus ... Obviously I'd love to build a rom that would if restore my phone like I like it after a hard reset ... not sure if you can do this ... but if so How? I'm currently using a "cooked" rom from the same
kitchen ... would just like to cook it some more

Hi I'm having the same problem. I tried running the .bat file and it comes up with the same error. You wrote that you fixed it, but didn't say how. In the future it would probably be a little more helpful if you wrote how you fixed it. Thank you very much guys.
I have a HTC droid eris and I am trying to install .cab files on it but everywhere I can find just says use the file manager to navigate to the file and click it to open it. ok now my problem is how do I navigate to my files on the sd card I have found no file manager on the phone. so I downloaded a file manager app and found the .cab file and when I click on the file it does not install atomaticly like I have read on this phone it askes kind of a open with question with a lot of diffrent options that I can not seem to find any that work. like browser, mail, and so on with a lot of wierd ones as well but nothing seems to install it. Any help is appritiated. Please tell me I am stupid and there is a really easy way to do this that I am missing on this phone. THANKS.
First off, .cab files are only for Windows mobile phones
I c ok thank you now I know I am only a dummie not an idiot. Now I will know wich book to by lol.

Welcome to XDA. You should ask this question in the HTC HD2 sections since (personally) I and possibly most others with the Eris aren't familiar with Windows Mobile so other people with HD2s would be able to help you better.
Also, please don't revive dead threads for a new question. This thread had been dead for almost a year, shy one week.
Good luck.
Hey guys, would greatly appreciate the help with installing swype.
My first concern is what i've been seeing with users being locked out of their phone due to incorrect passwords after installing swype. Does anyone have the cab for a version of swype that DEFinitely does not do this?
And onto my biggest problem:
When i copy the cab onto my external memory and run the "_SETUP" file on my STOCK FILE EXPLORER it just opens the file as if it was a link on a website.
Do i need to download a new file explorer? or can i just use the one that came with the phone.
I cant seem to find a Do it yourself tutorial anywhere online please help!!
I have a hd2 from hong kong.
basically, stay away from swype 3.9 from the tmous. it checks your model and if it isn't a tmous it messes with the password.
as to the _setup issue, it sounds like you have unpacked the .cab
the pc will see a cab and think it is a type of zip, with (usually) 4 files inside, and try to unpack it if you double click it. instead, you should move the whole filename.cab as a single file to the phone and run it from there.
hey samsamuel. thanks for your help
i'm at work right now but will try this when i'm home. just a qick question, do you have any suggestions as to which version of swype i should downlioad?
i know there are many versions out there and am curious as to what a veteran like yourself chose,
many thanks
i use v2.i'll post it when i get home.
OK, i really did look n im just more confused so feel free to tell me how too inexperienced i am to be trying "all things root" as long as u follow that w/ the answer.
So i want to install "setCPU" zip file from this site cuz i dont currantly have a bank account (long story-cash,fine-debit/credit,no) so i assumed i could treat it just like an upgrade (thru CWM) but apparently not so... i checked but posts all seemed to be 4 non-root? Or for GAPPS? SDK? apk files-android package...?(is that the same as zip...or similar? ...GAPPS?...google apps maybe? im so lost i'd have to do a weeks worth of researsh b4 i get results...
Orrr, i could ask u guys n get results n knowledge simultaneously...this suits me better as ive allways learned by asking exhaustive questions coupled w/ research, So... how can i achieve this?
Oh i did see 1 post where it said to un-zip n place on sd n open w a file mgr. but i had already tried this. i tried to open w/ appInstaller, but it couldn't be found. Why cant i treat as upgrade? is there any particular place on sd card to put it? Is the "read me" me file necessary? should i place both files in folder?
[also do i really need to subscribe to my ow threads to be saved? why arent my posts auto-saved as in other sites or are they?where? ....u guys must hate me]
You are over-complicating things. You just have to first unzip the file to access the APK, then install it as you would any other application. No updating/flashing/whatever required. I used Astro file explorer to unzip it and then again to install it after downloading it to my TBolt. I'm sure other file explorers have the same capabilities.
You do know SetCPU is free for xda members right?

CRAAAAP! im sorry all i had to do was read!!!! in my defence other "read me" files have seemed to say absolutely nothing. please dont ban me yet... i'll get btr
yeah thanks really i tried all of that but this is how dumb i am: 1st all i had to do was open and read 2nd when i figured out wat to do the hard way cuz i wouldnt read, i had my phone plugged in to PC so app intaller couldnt read it duh.. thnks 4 responding tho
k so i installed then uninstalled so i could try something new. Does anyone know how to do this maually as im trying to be more knowledgeable n resourceful. i got to the part where i have to "navigate to the directory where the setcpu.apk is found" and type in command line to install... and im lost.
how do i navigate anywhere? all i can do is type. after i type "adb devices" a bunch of script pops up w/ my device info but no "setcpu.apk." above.
I read the 1st post but your kinda getting me lost. I have a couple questions.
1. What are you trying to do?
2. Why is there a zip?
3. Are you trying to install setcpu?
If you're trying to install setcpu click on the link I gave you a couple post up. The link will direct you to a post where SetCPU is free and in an apk format. Download the apk onto your phone and install it using whatever file explorer you want to use. Open the file explorer and find the SetCPU apk and install it. FYI If you are not rooted SetCPU will not work. You must hit menu, setting, applications, and allow (check) unknown sources.
no i figured it out. it was a zip file w/ apk n directions i didnt bother to read cuz i thought it was just credits or watever. i was do'n everything right but my file manager wasnt reading anything at the time (i was so frustated that i prob. had phone plugged in to PC n just didnt realize) cuz it worked later...
NOW i want to do it the hard way... i KNOW- stupid but i gotta start somewhere. i cant find the directory where setcpu is located in ADB but i'll figure it out. Suggestions welcome but its certainly not pressing im just OCD thanks 4 all the help
anyway your way wouldve been much easier. i guess i missed the link earlier
You've gotta put the apk in the platform-tools folder. Mine would be C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. To navigate adb to that folder I type cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools in command prompt. Hey you know there's a "ADB for dummies" thread, right? LOL I used it when I first learned. Here's another adb tutorial

Ok.to install "setCPU" I did Wut was suggested above. After I type the 1st command it repeats the "sdk" directory (i think its called) bak to me n on that line I typed:
"adb install setcpu.apk"

"can't find 'setcpu.apk' to install.
I have the .apk (unzipped) file in the "platform-tools" folder. Wut am I do n wrong?
