Hey guys, would greatly appreciate the help with installing swype.
My first concern is what i've been seeing with users being locked out of their phone due to incorrect passwords after installing swype. Does anyone have the cab for a version of swype that DEFinitely does not do this?
And onto my biggest problem:
When i copy the cab onto my external memory and run the "_SETUP" file on my STOCK FILE EXPLORER it just opens the file as if it was a link on a website.
Do i need to download a new file explorer? or can i just use the one that came with the phone.
I cant seem to find a Do it yourself tutorial anywhere online please help!!
I have a hd2 from hong kong.
basically, stay away from swype 3.9 from the tmous. it checks your model and if it isn't a tmous it messes with the password.
as to the _setup issue, it sounds like you have unpacked the .cab
the pc will see a cab and think it is a type of zip, with (usually) 4 files inside, and try to unpack it if you double click it. instead, you should move the whole filename.cab as a single file to the phone and run it from there.
hey samsamuel. thanks for your help
i'm at work right now but will try this when i'm home. just a qick question, do you have any suggestions as to which version of swype i should downlioad?
i know there are many versions out there and am curious as to what a veteran like yourself chose,
many thanks
i use v2.i'll post it when i get home.

Hi guys,
I've got an XDAII and I want to be able to see / edit the extended rom...
I've found the cab files I need (elsewhere in this forum) but I have no idea whatsoever how to use them?!?!
I can't run them, so there must be either an app I need or somewhere I need to put them, right?
Please help
Thx
Have you transfeered the cab file to your phone and executed from there?
It's a cab file. You put it on the XDA II in a folder of your choice, then run it, after reboot you will find a new icon in Programs. The rest is simple. :wink:
When I try to run it I get:
The is no application associated with "00unhide". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application.

Please post the link to the exact file so I can download and test it.
I just got it working...
After I downloaded the .cab, as I have WinRar I thought that it was something that needed extracting and it didn't!

that's the link anyway, but it works perfectly!
Sorry for being such a idiot
No problem, hope its all sorted for you now.

Welcome to XDA. You should ask this question in the HTC HD2 sections since (personally) I and possibly most others with the Eris aren't familiar with Windows Mobile so other people with HD2s would be able to help you better.
Also, please don't revive dead threads for a new question. This thread had been dead for almost a year, shy one week.
Good luck.
I will say i haven't searched for this one yet but i probably will a little later if i don't get any quick responses.
Now to my question. I'm trying to create a cab file that i can use to install some registry changes from the performance tweak thread. The file is specifically based on the memory tweak cab file that is available there but because i use the energy standard 6.5.x series roms there are a couple of tweaks that cause the phone to stop booting correctly. So i have extracted all the original files and modified the xml file appropriately. I've then recompressed them into a new cab file but if i try to install it i get an "not installed successfully error" so obviously i'm doing something wrong but i have no idea what. Anyone got any ideas?
What software did you use to make the cab file?
I actually first tried to create it with winace and that was the problem. Winace just creates the cab as a storage file and not as an installable cab file. I've since searched coz i didn't get a quick reponse and found quickcab. Did the trick nicely. I've tested it on my phone and i've now posted the finished file in the energy rom thread. You will find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8078336&postcount=24318
At beginning I create .caps I used QuickCap (in the attachment). In the .zip for you is the Programm and guide only in german but with pictures. I think you can understand it, its very simple. Now i used the WinCE CapMgr, but you must pay for it, so I can't share.

Quickcab did it for me and i will continue to use until it my needs exceed it but i have to say i figured out to use it in about 10 seconds (literally). Kudos to the developers for making a very intuitive and easy to use program. Not many out there that are that specialised and that easy to use.
Hello,
I'm trying to install Bell's gingerbread update for my Atrix but it appears I'm missing the / preinstall / app / "Gameloft_3games.zip" file. I have the bell system dump downloaded that contains all the apps and other random stuff but I cant seem to find the gameloft_3games.zip file. Can someone help me out here?? Maybe share their file with me or maybe tell me what the zip contains so I can try and build a new one?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue, I've tried OTA and offline install, also tried modding the update zip to remove the gameloft_3games.zip, but the file is signed and the verify fails...
apk files
I tried creating a zip file and inside of it, I put the apks of the 3 demo gameloft games that came stock with the phone. It didn't work, So I tried making another zip and I dumped every single file in it from the / app folder renaming it to gameloft_3games.zip and that never worked either. So theirs obviously some other kind of files in there that we need...
exact same problem someone please help!
edit: you guys found a solution yet? i've been told on other forums that i think it is the rooting method we used that removed that gameloft file.. i think apparently ATT phones don't need that file or something..so i'm trying to figure out how to get that file back now..
If you do some searching for gameloft_3dgames.zip you'll find a zip of the stock 2.2.2 files available for download. I was able to push the gameloft_3dgames.zip to /data/local/tmp/, remount /preinstall/ read/write, copy it in there, set permissions to 644, remount read-only, reboot, and then apply the update successfully.
Good luck!
