How do you add/load Java games to the 8925 tilt which are (jar.) files? Also enabling the to launch through the Java Powered program installed on the device?
I've done it before but not lately and I don't have any .jar files on my phone so I can't test right this minute but try one of the following until it works
(1) Go into explorer and selected the .jar you want to install
(2) Start the Java program/utility and either
A - click on the .jar you want to install (if a list of .jar files is populated)
B - Click Menu > Install > Brower or Local Files
Someone else can chime in if you haven't figured it out yet

I just now ran through it to make sure I remembered what I used to know.
1. Make your self a folder (I call it Temp or the SD card).
2. Move the .jar and .jad (if you have a .jad) to that Temp folder.
3. Find the files with file exploere and tap the .jad or .jar if you have no .jad.
The game will "self install in to the Java folder in the \Windows\ root.
4. Some ROMs have no Java folder (.lnk) on the \Programs\ menu. A Java.lnk will be in the \Windows\ root though. Using Total Commander, copy the Java.lnk to the Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ folder.
Note: You don't need the .jad but it makes for more flawless installs. It contains the "road map" for the Java installer.
Hope that helps.
i tried it today and worked perfectly. dragged the .jar files and put it in my documents then i installed it and opened the java program and it was there.
but now im having a problem lol. i was going to remove one of my installed games, but then i accidentally uninstalled ALL my games, even the ones that came with the phone, i.e brain challenge, ms. pacman, solitare, etc.
i remember reading from somewhere that i can find all of those default games inside one .cab file. but i dont know where to find it in my phone.. or if someone has all the default games, do you mind sharing it with me.. thanks in advance!! need this asap lol

For a lot of program's i don't need a desktop to setup my PDA. But some programs like .net from microsoft, oziexplorer, citrix, resco-fileexplorer can only be installed from a windows-PC.
is there a way to extract or keep-from-a-temporary-space the .cab file that must be somewhere during the install.
wouldn't it be nice to totally rebuild your system with one button after flashing/testing a new ROM or after a empty-battery situation on holiday.
Strangely enough, this is exactly what I do. I stick to cab downloads where possible (keeping them on the SD) but there are ways to extract the cabs from the installer where there isn't one available. Theres a couple of ways you can:
1. Sometimes the installler is built on a zip and you can just open the exe in winzip. If you have winzip shell extensions installed you get an "open in winzip" option on the right-click menu.
2. If that doesn't work, run up the installer and proceed the the part where it copies it to the phone. There are two places you can find the cab. The first is on your PC in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\. Sort by date to find the most recent file. The other place is on the phone itself...the installer actually copies the cab to the phone the installs it. I think you can find the cab in \Windows\AppMgr but it's been a while and that may be wrong.
some apps will put their cab on m$ activesync dir.
have u try sprite backup to backup ur system including storage.
Guy's,
thanks for your info. Got it complete in cab files on my storagecard now. Some i found in programfiles/activesync on the desktop. Sometimes it wasn't clear which cab file to use, so i started the install from the desktop. Then on the PDA when the question comes about where to install, then i started fileexplorer to see where the temporary cab file is. They all where in windows/appmgr/install.
thx,
xdaradar
Can someone please answer the most basic of N00B questions ...
1) How do I install .EXE files onto the Tilt
2) How do I install .CAB files onto the Tilt
Specifically, with # 1, I am trying to install KaiserTweak, but it does not run under Windows XP and there is no info on how to get it onto the phone and how to install it (it has an XML too).
Thanks!
copy them over to your kaiser. run them by clicking on them using file explorer
Ummm ... N00bier
Thanks, but HOW?
I have activesync running, and it is doing a bang up job. I cannot figure out how to get the EXE and XML over onto the phone.
Also, how would a CAB work, same way?
OMG!
cab - copy to phone and run through file explorer
exe - run through pc/ or run directly from the device
to copy files over to your PPC...
click the explore button on your activesync app running on your desktop from there you can drag and drop the files anywhere
I drag and drop .cabs to my storage card, I have a cab folder with two folders inside one is device and one is card. It is an easy backup and reminds me of where i installed that particular cab. Now, if you have an .exe or .msi you can run that from your desktop and as long as you are synced the install wizard will install the app to your phone giving you the option to install it on the device or the card.
Now, some applications are meant to be ran from your phone, such as mplayer or Kaiser Tweaks. You copy the file over to your device and click the .exe when you want to run the program.
Hope this helps!
hi guys, im new here and got my diamond just yesterday.. its my first pocket pc, and i need real help..
looked around the forums and found a lot of good stuff..
downloaded a couple of applications like advanced configuration tools, gsen, registery editor, but i dont know how to install them. when i unzip the files on my pc the are in xml format and when i double click on the setup file it opens in notepad..
plz help me, what should i do? how do i install these applications?
Instead of unzipping the .cab files on your pc, you need to copy them to your diamond (using activesync or select 'disk drive' when you plug it in).
Then open file explorer on your diamond, navigate to where you copied the .cab file, and run it - .cab is an installer file for windows mobile applications

Do the following, hehe
When you download most programs they will be in .CAB format. Now all this means is that they can be installed DIRECT from the phone.
What I do is create a folder on my Diamond in Internal Storage called APPS and make sure my Diamond is synced to my pc / laptop using Activesync on XP or Windows Mobile Device centre if on Vista and then copy all the .CABS that i have downloaded into the APPS folder on my phone.
Once im ready to install the applications its very simple.
On your Diamond click on START and then PROGRAMS and locate FILE EXPLORER.
When FILE EXPLORER has loaded up in the top left of the window you will notice a memory card icon with the current directory you mobile is pointing to, push this and you will then see MY DEVICE and the location you are currently at.
If you have used a pc before its very similar to how the pc windows explorer used to navigate, anyway, select MY DEVICE and then choose INTERNAL STORAGE and then APPS.
Then its just a matter of selecting which application you wish to install as all the .CABS will be displayed. Select the one you want to install and follow the installation process.
If there are any small programs 1mb or less then I tend to install these onto my phone storage memory and for games I install them onto INTERNAL STORAGE but its up to you. Some programs require a SOFT RESET to work.
The SOFT RESET button is located where the STYLUS is stored on the phone, pull the STYLUS out and then you will see a RED BUTTON inside.
Push this and your phone will restart.

thnx guys, but i know this, i did install some applications that end with caB, but when i tried to install the gsen or the advanced config for example, they didnt come in .CAB form. they came as zip and when i opened the file, all there was files and the one names setup was as xml.
i dont know, maybe i downloading the wrong files!! plz help? where do i download those files in .CAB format?
it worked, thnx guys..
xda is the best forum all around..
Whenever I install a program it appears to open a cab on my kaiser.
Rather than running the installers all the time on my laptop, is there a way to find those cabs and just move them to my storage card so I can install them if I am away from my laptop?
go to the installation folder on ur desktop and the cab would be in a folder in there. usually the folder marked 'installation files' or 'resources'..
just look for the cab file.
found some..
but not most ...
Very odd..
If you mean that when you run a .exe on your laptop to install a program on your kaiser, then it is possible to sometimes extract the cabs from the .exe or installer. A program called Universal Extractor can extract over 50 types of files including most installers. It is free, and supports many languages. It even adds an entry to the context menu, so you can right click nearly any file. It will then try to find the appropriate extracting tool, and then if it succeeds, it will place the files in a folder in the same directory as the original file. Try this, it has worked very well for me.

If it helps, I tend to find most of them are in C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync
I have just bought a HTC Diamond. I am new to the world of Windows Mobile.
So far the phone is great! I love it.
I have noticed you can download lots of apps and tweaks.
I want just wondering how to instal these programs on the phone.
I have downloaded a few games, Unzipped and copied over the files to the phone. It recognioses one of the games with a '.cab' format and it installed, but the rest are .xml.
Any pointers, tips and hints for this phone?
Cheers
the program you use to extract compressed files identifies cab files as compressed. All you need to do is copy the cab files to your phone and run the file from there. If you try to extract a cab file, you'll get those xml files you talked about.
1. Copy cab to phone
2. Run cab from phone to install the program
good luck

Hi - my first post!
You mention .cab files... I expect this applies to .exe's as well (for example, hot fixes)???
Any particular folder(s) on the phone we should be copying these files to before running them? I tried to install a hot fix today, but after running the .exe and receiving a 'success' message, the phone restarts OK, but the fix does not appear to have worked.
all exe install's for pocketpc's are pc exe files which have to be run
on the pc and then it use activesync to transfer the cab file to the
pocketpc and run it there

Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately, running the exe on my PC (Win Vista) doesn't seem to work.
Error: "{C:\filepath\filename.exe} is not a valid Win32 application."
Any ideas? I'm a complete newb at this so have exhausted my very limited list of possible ideas...
some people don't distribute their apps with installers so it could
just be the program itself
in which case you have to execute it on the pocketpc
this of cause mean that it will not put a shortcut to the exe
in your programs thats just something you have
to do manualy with a program like total commander
which you can also use to browse to where you put the
exe file and execute it to start the program

OK thanks - I already tried running the exe straight from my Diamond, and although it appeared to work correctly, the hotfix didn't actually fix what it claimed to. Not to worry, I'm still learning all this stuff (only had my Diamond for a day and a half now... ).
