try to go through settings\applications\manage applications , then try to find there is its there uninstall it and install it again ..
another solution , if u using ADW launcher , u have to reset it but before do a back up for the settings . then reset it and it will appear in case if u can't see it here , or u just do the 1st step

how to install applications?

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.
There is more information here at good ol xda-developers.com and also http://modmydiamond.info
Hope this helps!

Claus
The installation file use all files expect the .mp3 files and the big data file: "res.dz"

Hi, Delete the".jpg" off the end of all the files so the mp3's are just .mp3 and the other file needs to be just .dz

[Q] How Do I Remove The Anime Wallpaper In Gingercruzt 8.1?

Exactly what the title says...so please help me
Am I right when I say that you´ve wrote this with your X8?
Becasue there is no ROm called "fingerprint", and because your phone didn´t recognize the name, it just changed it to "fibgerprint", a word from the dictionary that was the most similar to it.
To answer your question:
Go to your homescreen/one of your homescreens, search a free place (that means, that there are no widgets or links to apps, just the background.
Then, put your finger on that free place and leave it there for 2 seconds.
Then, a windows should pop up, that asks you what you want to add to your homescreen.
Choose:"Background image" and then choose another from your gallery/the CM-background images/the live wallpaper gallery and add another one.
Sorry...i wrote the wrong sentence...i was talking about the Anime wallpapers in gingercruzt..that is disturbing...i just need some good Rom not a Rom with pictures like that...can you help me?i want them gone forever...something like deleting lib or anything....and yeah....im using my phone
you can find the wallpapers inside /system/media/wallpapers
you have two options for delete
1- using root explorer or any other file explorer with root permission from inside your phone
2- open the updateGCR8.1 Rom file from your PC with winrar and point to the wallpapers and right click delete "do not extract just right click open" then update it through recovery as you did when installing on your phone
Default one will stay anyway, it is in resources
Just load any wallpaper/s from market.

Don't think it'll work on our device. And if it did work for the fascinate you would prolly need to be on a touch wiz rom as well.
good day.

What Chopper said could be true. At any rate try this:
Long press on your file
Hit extract
Go to the extracted folder
Long press on your extracted file
Hit move or copy
Navigate to system /app folder
Hit the system rw if necessary
Paste the file
Re boot
tsm res1.2, TKSGB 11-14, lag fix

I have a different app but same problem. I have ES File Explorer I can copy the file but when I get to system/app I have not been able to figure out how to paste the file. Anyplace I do the long press in system/app there is an app that it thinks I'm wanting to do something with and I don't get the paste option. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Okay so I figured out how to paste it and it wasn't allowed. No I can't find the apk at all. I have even cleared cache and tried to re-download and I get the Ballero-2.apk actually I am up to Ballero-5.apk and can find none of those either.
un-rooted, microSD card, Go Launcher, ES File Explorer, HomeCatcher
Thanks again for your help.

Es file explorer is not as consistent when it comes to giving you root access, which is what you need to paste in system, app. Imo, root explorer is a must.
Edit; although I read that you can obtain that permission somewhere in the es file explorer settings
