If its a cab file you're trying to install, copy it anywhere on the phone. Then using file explorer on your phone, click on the cab file and installation will begin.
If its an exe file, these install from your pc through Activesync. On your pc(with phone connected), click on the exe file and it will copy the files to your phone. It will then tell you to check your phone, which will then look like you had just started a cab file installation.
If either cab or exe asks you if you want to install to device or storage card, it should be your choice unless the creator has specified otherwise.
Some files require rebooting the phone after installation. Most will tell you before they reboot, and some creators will tell you its necessary. In this case you should manually reboot it if the installation doesn't automatically do it for you.
just out of curiosity. how did you manage to flash 6.1 on the phone when you are unsure of how to install a simple application?

what kind of stuff? like does the phone do backflips or break dance?
be a little more specific man..
for the keyboard go look in the sticky ontop of this forum and download the keyboard file to your pc. plug your phone into the pc and let it sync. then take that file and through activesync > explorer put it on your phone
on your phone, go to where that file is located and just execute it..install to device. then reboot the phone when its done installing.
Stop opening new threads for the same topic...first last warning.
Keep using the same thread.

there are sticky's full of instructions for installing new roms....followed by 1000 pages of the same questions and the same answers.
i wasnt trying to be a jerk.i was honestly asking because id like to know how he installed his 6.1 so we can try to make it a lot easier on n00bs that ask the same questions time and time again. since he seems like a new user, hes the one to ask right?

You honestly think hes the one? I didn't think installing cabs was that hard. Put cab on phone, click on it from explorer, and wait just a bit, Done. I really don't think he is the chosen one. In fact, I would venture a guess that it was pure luck he was able to get 6.1 flashed at all. No offense. I nominate Gixxum to be his personal tutor
which is why id like to know how or what instructions he followed.
I didn't think you was being a jerk, infact i found your answer rather commicle, so i had to reply with comedy, i just imagined he followed the forum thread and think from his answer i was correct? But maybe not?
Biglarge what's the answer?

Im glad you guys are having fun at my expense, this is how I figured it out. It was posted in this forum, I wish I had the name on it, but I give thanks to ever wrote this and am sorry I didnt have the nameHeres how to beat the 270 error.
When running the installer, "push any key" through the first few steps as it says.
When the queue comes up saying "press center key and screen should turn white", "press any key to continue"
FIRST - press any key, to bring up the next queue
SECOND - now push the center button on your phone, and it should turn white
THIRD - push any key on your PC to start the actual flash.
If you do step 2 before 1, it will still continue onto the flash screens, but will Error 270 at 1-10%.....
Hope this helps some of you!

Maybe if next time you are more clear with what you are trying to get help on. We can help you.
Error 720 is/has nothing to do with "Installing programs"
Think about it.
That was regards to gixxum, and in my post of installing programs, I clearly stated installing the keyboard and I believe the sirius program. I am sorry for all the confusion. Later

BigLarge: we're just trying to have fun, did you get your cabs installed?
Im almost afraid to say it, but no, I put them on the phone and it seems to install but nothing after that, I have learned to type with what ever text is on there though.
Before getting started I need to thank some people who have hlped me with this project or offered help to me. These people can be seen as contributors to this project, and I am grateful for their help.

Also, before we get started, you will need root, and Jesusfreke's Mod rc30 installed(pref. v1.2), or RC8.
THIS COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE!
While I highly doubt it will, it still could!
If you are going to do this, I very highly URGE you to install the G1 engineering bootloader. With this installed, if something does go wrong, your phone is salvageable!

One more thing! Let it be known that this update will wipe your phone! (This means all your apps, data, etc. will be gone and you will have to sign into your gmail account once more.) This has to happen to install the theme correctly!
However, after you have done this once, and providing you still have the theme installed, you will not have to wipe your phone for future updates, I will provide another update which will install updates to the theme and will not wipe your phone.
With all that said an done I can get rid of that bold font.
This is a very simple process thanks to Jesusfreke helping me understand how to make an update.zip file which will work with his mod rc30 update.
Simply download the file, place it on your sdcard, boot your phone into the recovery mode(power+home), and hit alt+S.
Once it says its done, reboot the phone and enjoy!
Let me know if you run into any problems at all!
Let me know what you want to see in the next release, be reasonable I'm not a master image maker, and android does some strange things to some images.
Let me know if something seems out of place, or wrong.
I will try to resolve all issues as quick as I can.
The non destructive updates are for those that already have the theme installed and wish to upgrade to the newest version.
The destructive updates are for those that have never before installed this theme. This update will wipe the phone as is required the first time this update is installed.
Ok, well I applied it....
Here goes nothing.
US G1 running JF RC30 1.2 and dev bootloader.
I just backed up all my apps using astro too.
Welcome to T-Mobile G1...
See you in a minute.
I don't wanna get off topic here, but we need an all inclusive (how to back up your stuff) thread. Something that hits on Astro, My Backup, TXTract etc... and I need to pull up that thread about backing up your desktop layout and read that...(just can't remember which forum it was on...thing it was AC.com)
Thanks so much for doing this. I'm glad we finally got something different to look at. I'm glad someone is out there defending the pretty.
PS: FIRST!!!

good job man keep continues
Looks good, except I'm having a bit of a problem. I don't have my browser icon. Kind of weird. So, thinking I could get to my browser by doing a search through the widget, "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly." I'm going to flash Jesus's V1.2 back on, and then try this again. Will post back.
WOW
this is remarkable! I haven't been here for a while. but that just gos to show that in time anything is possible. keep up the great work. will report if i catch any bugs. THANK YOU
very cool
But you'd think they would have made it easier to skin/theme, I mean what's the first thing most of us look for as soon as we get a new phone, myself its walls, themes and ringtones in that order and I don't think I'm that diferent than the average g1 owner, and the average g1 owner is very different than the average mobile user.
But everybody wants to personalize a new phone, that's why we don't all wear the same clothes...
To the OP, thanks for all this hard work you have given to the community.
Bhang
See I knew it. I always had my faith in the awsome ppl here @ XDA-Developers.com. Just can't wait to see what's in store for the future, I know it will be more things to come that'll make you wish we never should of doubted the G1 and Android. Keep up the g00d work guys

Got it to work. Looks great! Except i now have to re-enable my browser Auto-Rotate. No biggy though, great work!
I've had a small amount of trouble with this, although I'm not convinced 100% that it's at fault.
I've attempted to install this on my uk t-mobile g1 and it seemed to flash ok, however I couldn't get past the sign up screen as it force closed before completing. I re-flashed back to my original modded TC5-RC8 and the problem persisted until I then forced a hard reset ALT-W in the bootloader.
On my second attempt (I know I'm an optimist) I just got a hang on the g1 splash screen (Which I managed to recover via adb). I'm thinking it's related to my being on TC5-RC8 as opposed to RC30.
Any ideas, or has anyone else had more luck with TC5-R8?
All the apps for the base rom have to be resigned separately /system/app. So if you use the UK rom some apks will not be signed and cause a looping android or crashes. I had actually done this to the UK rom(skinning) but I am a mediocre image manipulator so i just changed hues.
This will work with with RC30 JF image. not the uk. If its needed I can remake his work with his permission for the UK rom.
Ive modified it for use with the uk rom here is the download link
http://rapidshare.com/files/175199050/update.zip.html
let me know if works
To All:
About Koush's auto rotate browser, if you replace the browser in that update with his, one of the status bar images will change I believe, no biggy, you will just need to replace it the image if you like. I may do this then post his auto rotate browser.
Thirdly for those missing icons, it is likely maybye something did not get copied. If this is the case, and you are missing programs, please let me know which one as I can send them to you and you can manually push them to your phone without having to do another wipe.
Bhang: Google made this really difficult.....I agree you would think that themes would have been a first to settle....SHRUG
EDIT: afbcamaro, Thanks so much for taking the time and doing this. With the rc8 update does everything look the same?

When I go to do the auto-rotate browser, there is no room left. Oh well.
To push file to the dir /system NEVER do it while the phone is on, running normally. You need to boot into recovery mode and push it from there.
when you get into recovery mode you will need to type the following to mount /system
adb shell mount /system
adb push /whereveryoufileis/Browser.apk /system/app
This will eliminate the problem you are having.

i found a bug
Everythings good. But I found something. When you make a folder and open it the res is off
Hope you can fix this its not a biggie but I told you I would report any bugs. Thanks again
So when you make a folder in the file manager or what? You have to be specific as to what program you were using, etc. I have to know exactly what your looking at....maybe you can take a screen shot?
Stericson
nice work stericson!
some things i noticed:
-opening a folder (shortcut) on the desktop. label is not displayed, and folder contents are not superimposed enough when its in the foreground.
-can't see the highlight when pressing an entry (inbox, sent, etc.) in the gmail app.
Ok. first, thanks for reporting back.
What do you mean the label isn't displayed? I put items on my desktop and I can see all of theie labels. I am also not catching what you are trying to tell me about the folder contents not being superimposed enough when in the foreground, maybe a screenshot would help.
Also the highlight, when pressing an email, etc should turn a bright white, as it does for me, does it do this for you? Also, what suggestions would you have for the colors or solutions to these problems?

Hello, I have an AT&T Tilt 2 and when I want to boot off xdandroid 2.2.1 I did the .cab file, soft reset, startup.txt, went into the program, update, boot. It types a bunch of codes, and stops at misc_register(): OK. And it stays there as long as I can see! It won't go any further, however, when I restart the phone, it boots normally in to WinMo. I'm running the stock shipped ROM. Does that have anything to do with it? I'm not getting any errors or anything, just stuck at that. And I know it's not me not waiting, because I've sat it down for 2 hours straight! Please help I really want Android on my Tilt 2.
P.S. I've tried RAR and CAB, also the Reference & Froyo!
Try a clean bundle. Format the card using the HP tool. Full format, FAT32.
Also, try this bundle. It's the newest of the new.

Greetings,
I too have a Tilt 2. In the past I've had many problems with xdandroid and other android ports. I personally prefer to use the manual installation, that way I can control what and where things are placed. I'm currently running the the latest FRX04 release on my Tilt2. Here is how I got it working.
1..Download the RAR package.
2..Format your SD Card (not a quick format)
3..Copy the andboot directory to your SD Card
4..Replace the startup.txt with the one attached here.
5..In WinMo run Haret and let it do it's thing.
6..Once in Android test all your apps.
This worked for me, but until I switched to a newer SD Card I would have random reboots and hang ups.
Post any more complications you have I may be able to help you.

I already had multiple sd cards, Tiad brought it up to try and change my sd card in a conversation the other day, but I'm using a SanDisk 2GB. My SanDisk 4GB is about 4 years old and believe they do wear out. Older cards aren't good for what we need here, since they are basically or on board device storage.
As for the landscaping, sometimes if a hold the phone flat it will switch to landscape left or right, but I usually do not have a problem when I'm holding it in the orientation I'm needing.
That is the same startup file I have used through out 3 different builds. FRX03, FRX04, and FROYO X. I did have overclocking in there, but come to find out it didn't help, I feel that it probably was the cause of a few of my restarts.
I hope everything works out for you. Report back..

OK cool, I will give that load a shot tonight.
As of now I am using: XDANDROID.2.2.1.AOSP.FRX03.21.11.10.FULL_PACKAGE
My screen issues are gone now with those tweaks! thanks so much!!!
Although now this thing seems dog slow.
I took out my line "clock-7x00.a11=500" which I think is just stock anyway.
You do not use this command as you noted issues overclocking. Thus yours should be stock speed too right?
This thing is sloooooow now from earlier with my old 'incorrect' stock config in the RAR package.
I also have the weird typing issue in which I press c once (on the hard keyboard slideout), but cccc appears. I think if I type a word super slow, it works better.
So if i type cingular at a decent pace, it will type out 'ccccingularrr'
Any leads on that?
you may need to delete your data.img file and rebuild it with the new startup.txt. that way android is running at stock speed during the setup. shot in the dark.

Holy crap dude... search. You've asked so many questions that have been answered previously, seriously.
With that said, all the issues you describe are all related to the system_server bug. Just make a call to voicemail (or any call really) and it'll clear up. We're looking into the cause and a potential solution.

Hello, thank you for the quick response. I did exactly what you said. And once I tap Haret it codes and stops at misc_register(): OK still... Any other suggestions? Thank you agian.
it probably doesn't matter, but is your phone all unlocked etc and able to be flashed with any winmo rom?
using olipro?
just trying to think of any differences with our phones.

What is unlocked? Isn't that where T-Mobile would be able to use it?? If not, please explain. Sorry for my stupidness. lol
Is it like jailbreaking and/or rooting?
You do not need to do hardSPL unlocking to use Android from the SD card.
I would imagine with NAND builds you would... but since this all runs off the SD card, no need for HSPL.
Assuming you're using that build that was posted in post #2, it should work just fine - did you make any changes to it, or just extract it to the root of your SD and hit haret.exe...?

I just backed up all my contacts on my SD card with pimbackup and restored them to the new rom....
Again, to thephoneguru - you do not need to do that ^^.
Only if you want to install a custom WinMo ROM, or if you're flashing to full Android (which is not recommended at the moment!) do you need to do HSPL.

You do not need to do hardSPL unlocking to use Android from the SD card.
I would imagine with NAND builds you would... but since this all runs off the SD card, no need for HSPL.
Assuming you're using that build that was posted in post #2, it should work just fine - did you make any changes to it, or just extract it to the root of your SD and hit haret.exe...?

I did not make any changes at all I just put the androot directory on the root of my sd, went to the file explorer and tapped haret.exe. Also, the sd card was just formatted (non quick format) to FAT32.

He posted a lot of links on how to do it... Post #15?
It won't have any effect on your issue tho. It'll only enable you to flash custom ROMs if you so choose to do so.
Let's focus on your issue. Can you tell me where it stops? Does it always stop at the same place? Have you tried different kernels? Any different builds? Have you tried the newest FRX04 build?

THIS will GUIDE how to get on foot if your just starting on Galaxy Y, most probably, ANDROID
1. First Things first. Know your Phone. before doing anything, just be on the stock for a while. Know all the things, settings, install some app and alike. This way, you'll know your way through. See apps like market, Maps and others, check bugs etc.
2. Second part is knowing a basic tweak of your phone, to be exact: BATTERY SAVINGS. Know your way from this apps. See how they handle your battery life. The purpose of this is to know the performance of your phone
3. So you feel much better knowing your phone, you can start rooting or installing some replacement apps Go, ADW, Pansi, Popups, keyboards its up to you. But i dont recommend instant rooting when your just getting on foot.
Rooting wont brick the phone, maybe but its in the least.
(I wont be giving links for many threads here are available already. Its hard just to give you everything when researching can't kill one)
WHAT IS ROOTING?
rooting gives you access to the system of your phone. thats it
Soft ROOT-stated in the above
Hard ROOT-gives you access to the commander of the system which allows you to access the device via shell extensions and ADBs
4. Same as step 1. See how does root work for you. Dont just access the system right away using an explorer. look for apps that can help you achieve your desired goal that requires root access. a good start would be RAM tweaks.
5. Removing apps that you dont need. Its the power of Rooting that grants you this. basically, it improves RAM usage and speed of the device especially when "app-example.apk" initiates on its own. ofcourse it increases the capacity of your device.
6. KITCHENS. for a start you can use the UOT kitchen which allows you to modify some parts of the device. as far as i know, mods like transparency, lockscreen and bootanimation wont work on stock dont ask why coz i dunno sorry. so using this kitchen can allow you to change statusbar appearance pull down notif bar, etc.
but, the MAIN concern of a KITCHEN is ROMS.
ROM is the thing that the device reads for it to run properly.
ROM development are for making a benefit that can help a device achieve its fullest performance. Speeding it up, etc.
You can see the Development Page for it
**EXTRAS:
FLASHING
Flashing is a way of updating or down-dating your device.
Odin is the tool used in it.
If KIES wont let u update. Flashing would be good but you just have to download the firmware you want.
PARTITIONING.
since SGY got a small memory for internal, u can use partitions in the SDcard to let it handle some memory for you.
BOOT recovery:
it is where you flash mini updates like rooting CWMod, UOT kitchen mods and others
**Clockworkmod recovery / CWM is a custom CWM it has additional features moreover see for yourself
i guess thats it ill just edit it if somethings new comes
THIS IS FOR NEWBIES, no noob persons exist: ONLY NEWBIES.
hoped this helps you can just PM me for assistance but for now please bear with this simple guide thanks
PS: im no dev but as soon as i got my laptop ill start im just using a netbook and my phone for learning. so thanks

sure thing but it would be really better if you read some threads here. a lot of those stuffs are already here
1. download the rom you needed/wanted
2. download odin v1.85 w/ totoro.pit
3. turnoff phone remove sim + sdcard
4. open odin and put the files into:
boot
pda
csc
modem
something like that. put there the files you downloaded.
check if re partition etc are checked
then now get the data cable, and put the phone into DL-mode
(HOME+VOL-DOWN+POWER) hold till it boots into DL-Mode
pressing VOL UP- continue
VOL DOWN- Cancel
press the vol up so and youll be on DL mode
connect the cable wait for it to be recognized by the Odin, if ok pray and start.
just takes around a min to do so. the phone then reboots automatically. do a hard rest and boot again.
voila
since your a filipino you can check symbianize.com for infos. reading some guides there by our masters will surely help you
*so as the rules say here read threads first before asking though its ok for me. it would be nice if i'd helped you bro

Hi,
I managed to screw up just about really bad with my Defy+ after flashing it with Waikiui which i afterwards noticed doesnt work with the Defy+ so now im in some hard packed poo here.
I have come to the conclusion that RSD Lite should do the trick if im lucky but i need to find a good SBF to flash the Defy+ with. Originally this phone rolled with a Nordic (GB?) so im looking for either that or something else that could be a good exchange for it.
Would it be possible to flash it with for an example Cyanogenmod or something?
Regards.
//FlashTec80
On the CM webpage, under the Devices - > Motorola Defy it says says there is no official support for defy+ ... on the other hand on the CM forums there are numerous posts by people claiming it runs just fine, seems like some run into a bug where the battery doesnt charge to 100% or something, you might want to stick to a ROM thats officially approved for your device or do a little bit more reading before you take the plunge. I would have posted links to forums and official page but apparently I cant since Im a noob and I need at least 8 previous posts
Tried to run CM 7 in RDS Lite, but it said that files mentioned in the XML file was missing, is that normal?
You can't flash CM7 using RSDlite. RSDlite is used for flashing of .sbf files!
To get your phone back to life, follow this steps:
1. Phone off, battery out
2. Hold Volume Up and Power Button and put the battery back in while holding the buttons - phone will boot into it's bootloader - you will see some white letters saying Bootloader Version 09.10 etc..
3. Install latest USB drivers - found here - http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/
4. Start up RSDlite on your PC (you need version 5.3.1)
5. Use this sbf - link (put the .sbf file in root C:/ and rename it to something short (e.g. defy235.sbf)
6. Select that sbf file in RSDlite and press START
7. Wait until the process reaches 100%, by that time your phone will be completely turned on > it's alive again
Can't write more, need to get going to classes, but will help you with everything else, as well. It's easy, just be patient.
P.S. Ignorance killed your defy+, not awesomeness
Cheers!

You are so true, my most serious side of ignorance put me here and your best side of awesomeness seems to save my ass, i hope
Noticed that the file that im downloading was namned .gz as a file ending, should i just delete that part or do i need to do something with it, decompress or something?
I cant try this before i get home from work but i will try it later, a quickie, would u suggest CM7 or MSginger do be installed over this in the ending? Or would u suggest something else
that u know works good
Hope classes going great and have a safe day

Had a safe day Some bloody hooligans were on the bus home, though... Goddamn idiots. Anyway, on the brighter side of life...
You got your phone working again, mate? I suggest you stick with your stock ROM until tomorrow, then I'll walk you through the ROM's I've used and that'll help you make your pick and I'll help you with installing them, as well.
The fact that it's midnight here and that I get up at 6 for classes tomorrow is the reason you will have to wait for me

I'm glad you got to MS2G by yourself
I think the best way is to overclock in Recovery. You'll find the CPU menu when you open it and there you'll see 3 or 4 different settings. Every setting has a clock option and a vsel option. vsel sets the amount of electrical power that the CPU gets at a certain clock.
Best way to overclock would be to go step by step. Increase the highest clock setting by 50MHz, then reboot your phone and see if it works OK If it doesn't boot successfully or it hangs while you're using it - increase the vsel by 1. Then if it's stable, go on, another 50MHz+ and testing again...
Other than that, you can just set it to 1200MHz at once and increase the current vsel for that clock setting by 3-4, that would probably work as well
I have never overclocked mine, though Well, actually, the WIUI ROM come's with overclocked setting itself, it was at 1.1GHz, but it was slower than Pikachu at 1.1GHz So, overclocking doesn't help as much as a good ROM does At least that's my opinion.
P.S. CM9 (ICS) is wonderful But, you should wait for a couple more builds, while the things get even better. For me, CM9 and stock ROMs (including ms2ginger) are the best! You can always test, anyway I've come down to CM7 from CM9 and I'm truly sad

I'm on 300 - 19, 700 - 33, 1200 - 54...
just don't set your tweaks @ boot until you've fully tested them ^^ yet a cache clear would rectify being stuck in b/l
That sbf is the only one to make at least my phone stuck in the boot loop.
The others just don't show me anything, I got a black screen.
Maybe the sbf isn't the good one ?
I have done a backup of my system before I used rsd lite. How can I restore it as it's not a sbf file but a directory with .img ... files ?
Good replies every1, i dont know if im doing anything wrong here.
I first installed SetVsel app and changed the values in there, then when running stabilitytest it said i had the value i had chaged to. Uninstalled the app and tried to change value directly in 2ndinit but now when running stabilitytest it sais i only have 1000Mhz, thou in 2ndinit it clearly sais that vsel4 is set to 1200, any idea?
Cheers and have a safe day every1
Edit: "vsel sets the amount of electrical power that the CPU gets at a certain clock", so how high is it possible to push it before i see smoke coming out of my phone?

Could someone with an non overclocked Defy+ make some runs in Quadrant Benchmark, i only made one run before i started changing things
Would also be fun to see some figures on an ordinary Defy
Just two hours left of work this week, then Top Gear Live is the thing for the evening

go to recovery mode and wipe to the factory setting.
this happened because your phone is confused between the old and new firmware..
