Hi all, I am buying a spy program that you download onto your pc. unzip the file then drag out a certain program from that unzipped file. Then I hook up my rezound with a data cable to the pc but I dont know how or where to put the program onto my phone? Could somebody please help me. I am supposed to put this program onto my phone then be able to launch it on my phone. There are so many folders on my phone when I hook up my data cable to the phone to pc I would have no idea where to put this program that the phone would know to launch the program. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks.
if in side there is a file that is .apk than you can copy the folder onto your sd card but you need to have es file manager to get to that apk and install the app
but if its a flashable zip than you need to flash in recovery.
so check inside the folder for anything that its .apk

Hey, I do feel kinda stupid asking this but I always have been able to find a .cab and put it on my SD card and load it onto my phone that way
Well, my question is, how do I put a .exe file onto my phone and install it?
I downloaded the VistaHide Battery Gauge and it dosnt come in a .cab. It came as a .exe
How do I install this onto my phone?
Or does any1 know of a working .exe to .cab program?? I am on Vista x64
Thanks
Chances are, you're supposed to run the .exe file on your computer. It should automatically start Active Sync, and when you plug in your device, it will install the app on the phone...
I've been able to find where the temp .cab file was created, I don't quite remember, probably in the c:\program files\[program name here]...
Hmm.. It tells me its not a valid win32 app when I try that.
If it's a Windows Mobile .exe then the .exe file is the program - you copy the file to your phone in Explorer on your PC (when connected in ActiveSync mode, it should appear under 'Computer' next to your drives), then find the file in File Explorer on the phone and start it there.
Yeah I got a TP, I am running WM6.5.
Soo thats all? Take the .exe drop it onto the SD card and run? I didnt think I can. Ill try it and edit the post if I got it to work.
Ok so it does run it. It does not install anything thou. Just gata click it every time to load it.
Ok so idk if im exactly supposed to post this here and im sorry if its the wrong place, but whenever i transfer a theme onto my phone, its in my SD card, i unplug my phone from my computer, go into my SD card folder and i cant open any of it, like its a bunch of separate files for example: "_SETUP" "0CABEAE0" and so on, but i cant open any of them to install the theme onto my phone, like they all have the windows icon for their thumbnail, anyone have a tutorial or solution to fix this, and i dont know what model my hd2 is, i got it at the end of may, so idk if that will help at all and i bought it from t mobile.

the themes you are downloading come in a ".cab" which it sounds like you are unzipping. do not do this.
simply download the .cab. move the cab onto your phone and click it to run it.
Yeah i know i need a .cab file but the only problem is, whenever i download something on this site its not a .cab file.... its usually like a xml file

May I ask witch theme you will?? I mean I have past a lot of time here on xda; and mostly (90%) of the theme installation are cab files. Maybe there is a other problem.
I think i may of fixed the problem, im downloading the themes straight from my hd2 and it gives me the cab file, but i dont exactly know all the themes that I downloaded, lets just say it was a bunch.

No problem sir, in case of; let us know.
one question tho, say i want to transfer it onto my phone via computer, should i put the winrar file directly into my sd card or should i extract the files out of it into a folder and put the folder into the sd card?

You have different way sir;
A) you transfer the cab file to SD and navigate with your mobile device to the cab file, press on it and install (select always internal memory as installation path fore themes)
B) You unpacked the cab file (by using a cab program; don't extract cabs with Winrar/Winzip/7Zip, it will not work) in a folder somewhere on your PC; and you use CFC-GUI fore trans-fair it to your device.
Cab programs:
- Payable; WinCE CAB Manager
-Freeware; Cabwiz, QuickCab 1.0
CFC_GUI

Okay, i think i will just stick with the way im doing it now haha, thank you for helping though.
Hi guys,
Maybe a silly question, but I'm a Android newbie, how to copy installed apps to SD card or other device. Sure I know how to cut and paste, but where do I find these installed apps?
Using Foliomod 1.4, think I should use Astro but seems I cant find the exact folder.
Thx for your advice,
Bob
If you downloaded on your Folio, it will located inside your browser download folder (/mnt/sdcard/dolphin_brower_mini/download for example in my case).
If you downloaded on your computer, and copy to a SDcard then load to Folio then it should be inside /mnt/sdcard/sd0...
same thing for usb flash drive
I am trying to sideload titanium backup to my g tab. I am running vegan 5.1.1. I downloaded titanium backup to my computer and it is a zipped file. I then copied it over to my g tablet. How ever when I open it with es file explorer it doesn't ask to install it, it just opens it up and lists the folders and files in it. How do I install it.

This will not install.. You will need to unzip it first and then extract the .apk file out of it and then either move it over or copy it to the SD card or usb stick and attach it. Once detected in the Gtab you will have the option to install the app.
Let us know how u make out.
Did you create an "update zip" using titanium backup? If so you need to boot into recovery and flash it like a rom
Probably named wrong by the computer
Your computer probably changed the extention from .apk to .zip during the download. Change it back either on the computer or GTab itself and try to install it again.

I've seen this lots of times where some browsers like to rename .apk files to .zip. Just rename it and then open it.
Must someone use a separate computer to download/extract/transfer a file (RUU, ROM, RADIO, ETC) to thier phone; or, is there an app or something that would allow someone to place the file (zip) onto the root of their sd card, without using a separate computer. I only ask; because I am running windows 7 on my laptop (can't seem to get the correct HTC drivers using windows 7, to recognize my phone), my work computer won't allow me to connect any outside devices, and my desktop is connected to my television (it's hard to fight off all the kids to get access).
It would be great if I could figure out how to download/place/rename the file(s) (zip) directly onto my sd card, using only my phone. Any ideas? I have been searching forums for weeks on end and this is my first post.
Running with:
Thunderbolt (mecha)
Revolutionary
S(security)-Off
Superuser
Clockworkmod Recovery
Fast Boot
Cyanogen Mod
you can basically do all that on your phone.
root explorer (gives you access to look, rename files, delete, copy/paste & search your sd card) & zip viewer (zip program) can do it on the phone. also a file called zip signer is good to have incase you want to sign a file...
phone only
Nice...thank you...why then do all the forums tell u to dowload on a separate computer then transfer? Seems like an unneeded step...
