Programs Manager

Hi, NOOBI questions here:
How do you guys manage your programs tab? As I install more and more programs, everything just gets dump under programs. Is there a way to make subfolders under the programs tab that can also be accessed via the start menu? I'm sure there's a way, I just don't know how. Thanks for your help!
Use File Explorer and got to 'Windows' 'Start Menu' 'Programs'
You can create directories and move the Application links into them.
I find it easier to do this through the Mobile Device icon on my PC when connected with Activesync as you can also create new shortcuts for items this way, something that cannot be done through the standard WM Explorer.

A Question for cabfile or package creator

Do you know how can I put my name and my registration code into my package ( for kitchen) or how can I put them into the cab file so I dont need to type the code everything I do the hardreset. THX
If your software keep the reg info in the registry, just add this key to your package's rgu; if on the other hand the info is in a file, just add the file and don't forget to add the file into initflashfiles

Convert Hotix.exe to cab ?

Hi,
Is you it possible to convert the hotxix for the HD in cab ? Or how to integrate them directly in the kitchen ?
(TouchHD_display flicker.exe and Touch HD_SlidingAnswer.exe)
Thank you for advances if you have a solution..
NB: or how the décompilate
When you install the exe files, it will be a cab file placed in root folder.
Get it as soon as possible, or it will be deleted when finished.
Could somebody be so nice and upload the cab files please? Unfortunately I'm running Windows 2000 and the executives tell me my OS is too old.
try launch the exe on the phone, and don't install (but let it stay running, not terminating the program), use your favorite file browser to grab the "Install.cab" under the root folder
You have to do it on device not on PC
Thanks, stupid me. Should have read the description. No wonder my system was not supported. Gonna try it now.
Hi,
I put this order in my Kitchen (Oem OperatorPkg_PT)
EXEC:\windows\TouchHD_display_flicker.exe
EXEC:\windows\Touch_HD_SlidingAnswer.exe
But there must be certainly simpler ??

apks are just zip files. Set them to open with your archive manager or change the extension to .zip. All applications install their settings into /data/data/%PACKAGENAME% where %PACKAGENAME% is the Java-style package name of the app.
Ugh, no need to use the evil "R" word here. You're going to give us nightmares!
Each application stores its configurations/settings in its home directory in /data/data as pointed out by the previous poster. You might want to bone up on 'sqlite3' as most configuration settings tend to be stored in such databases.

I'am trying right now to find this confing files, thanks, I'll let you know if it's ok.
Note that depending on what you are trying to do, the config files may or may not be able to adjust the property you're after. No matter what, the program itself must support what you are trying to do (this goes for ALL OS's -- you simply can't change something that is irrelevant and expect it to do what you want) and more often than not, the ability to adjust that property would be presented by the program itself.
That is, of course, not to say that manually adjusting the config files is useless, because there IS a lot you can do directly from the config files.

Download APK2EXE and NSIS install system
Follow these steps to create your executable!
* Extract APK2EXE to a new directory
* Add your APK to the directory
* Doubleclick APK2EXE.NSI and edit the 3 lines containing information about your application.
* Right click the NSI file, and select 'Compile NSIS Script' - this will create your install EXE
* Done!
And it is a .apk to .exe converter !!!
Can anyone tell me why it doesn't work ? Many thanks
because your trying to run a Android application on Windows.
it's like saying I want to make this MAC application run on windows.. it just doesn't work..
I dont care what programs say.. Its not coded for Windows so it wont understand what the program does...
BTW you application you speak of is meant to install APK's FROM windows not TO windows
"Hot on the heels of my installAPK utility to let you install APKs from your Windows desktop, I now have another neat trick... which allows developers to distribute APKs as Windows EXE files instead."

shouldnt be too tough. just make a executable file that installs and configures adb, allows user to select apk or select a folder of apk's, create a .bat file that tells windows command prompt adb push the .apk to the sd card, then adb install /sdcard/nameofapk.apk
simple enough!
Can anyone tell me how to edit the app / extracted APK file to make the phone think it's a completely different app i.e. install it twice...
Not trying to cause trouble, I'm just looking to install an older version of an app as well as the updated version...

Thanks for replying, I've had a go with that and extracted / decompiled, compiled, signed, and that doesn't work, when I try to install the newly created apk it still tries to overwrite it...
I've watched the vid and read the comments but haven't worked it out yet... Can you point me in the right direction about which bit to edit?
i think you need apktool
Cool, I'll look into that... Any pointers on how to do it once I've got apktool?
command line usage, this tool unpak and repak

Probably yes, Not sure though.
Set your phone to Airplane mode and connect it to Zune on your PC.
You can download either off zune or the phone .

So it's not made for WP7 man, you have to make sure it's mentioned before download.
all applications related to wp7 is .xap, and not .cab!!!!
but if you are sure that this is a game for wp7 and it's not a .cab file
try the following:
change the extension of the file to .xap,or if it's a several files so open a .xap file of what ever.
open it with winrar, and empty the xap file from its' continent and add your files of the game in it. rename the new xap file with the game name!!!!
