Copy the cab file to your phone and run it there. It doesn't matter where you put it, but lots of people have a dedicated folder on their storage card for cab files, so you can re-install if you upgrade your ROM or do a hard reset at some point.
A cab file is basically an installer, so don't unzip it. Run it as it is.
thanxs a lot..great help ! and 1 more thing if at all you can fine me a direct button for bluetooth on and off in htc hd2..then will be of great help ! thanxs
i flashed tmous stock rom with duttys 21896 build and everythings great. im trying to put swype back on because its awesome and cant seem to get it working. i have the zip with all the files but there seems to be no cab for installation?
do i just extract the files to the /windows directory to get it functioning? tried it but still not workin'.
sorry if this is a repost. couldnt find a previous thread
what do you mean "l have the zip" are you sure you aren't just opening the cab with winzip/winrar on the pc? cos if you do it will open like a zip.
search google for cab...
Yeah, Good luck with searching Google for a copy of Swype without encountering dodgy websites and requests for payment, not to mention the copy on XDA which has been reported to reset the PIN on installed devices so they aren't accessable
I'm sure some people here would be interested in the contents of your zip file for analysis though.
heres the one i use, and it isn't the one that can mess with the lock password.
thanks samsamuel. my windows os detected it as a zip but my leo did see it as a cab.
Yeah cheers Samsamuel. Installs and works perfectly (so far )
Regards.

Touch the up arrow to the right of the input icon (bottom middle of screen) and choose swype as the input method.

no... your windows os uses the same icon for zip files and cab files ;-)
I would like to put bsb tweaks on my hd2. However, I do not know where to install it to? Many thanks
put the cab file anywhere on your phone and run it.
Hi put the cab file on you sd card .then install using file explorer

You'll probably do more CABS, so I suggest creating a CAB folder on the root of your SD card... Easier to keep track, then.

It's a winner, I keep a copy of my cabs on my laptop and another on my SD card for easy of use when flashing from ROM to ROM.

You don't unzip it. You run the .cab file as it is.
ok i am confused lol when i downloaded it from this forum it is in a zip file and actually doesnt have a.cab file in the zip file

Are you sure it isn't just a .cab? WinRAR opens them like they are zip files.
lol its ok i figured what i did wrong, thanks anyway. i shouldnt try and do these things late at night

Can you not add it in the options, by shaking the phone while in the office app?
this doesn't appear to work. I have the HTC HD2. I open the office app and when I shake it nothing happens. Should it?

hey,
I wanted to extract "Torch" application from "Azure" Rom and few other applications. as Torch is the only working app which did really enable the LED for HTC Legend.
I actually opened the ZIP package to path \azure-1.0.1.zip\system\app where the applications are stored, every app comes in APK and OBEX files. I extracted few APKS, non of them worked.
I am seeking some help for extracting the application from the ROM.
Thanks in advance!
lamppu is a good LED torch. You need root to use it, look in market

I have looked in market, but it doesnt seem to exist there. However, do you know anyway to extract the application as working APK file?
Any other LED torches that works with LEGEND?
*EDIT: well, I found it, its named Lamppu. but anyway it didnt work, although my phone is rooted! why is that?
Try Extended Controls, there is a Torch Widget which worked on my HTC Legend. (NOTE:Root access Required For this very Widget)

If you find a ROM that has both .apx and .odex in the app-folder you will not get it to work by only extracting the .apk file.. You need both of the files in order to include them in another ROM..
Use a backup program like Titanium backup or MyBackup pro: they will extract for you.

I already tried using Lamppu, but it didnt work on my rooted phone!
Have any idea what might be the reason?

That makes sense...but who would I merge the .apk and .obex together to be in one .apk file so I can install it?
Or maybe you know some way I can install these files?
Help would be really appreciated.

You mean like after loading the custom ROM, I backup the application I want then restore them after I load the custom I want?!
This is just long process of backing up your data then load custom rom, then back to the old rom, then root then restore...
I thought there might be easier and shorter ways?!
Any help would be appreciated. Gracias!
Anyone to help?????
try the kitchen method.
Scout around in the .zip to find the package you want, copy the .apk to your ADB directory and then, with the phone plugged in:
Code:
adb install [I]path-to-package[/I].apk

To be honest you've answered your own question. What you've done is the easiest way to pull an app from a ROM. So if your issue is something else it may be an idea to re-write your question (again, I know. Sorry).
I also apologise for mis-interpreting your question the first time 'round. I hope my help in this post is better.

Your help so much appreciated mate!
Well, the last conclusion I got to is, the .apk and .obex files are actually one file but they were divided to 2 files just to make them work better, so if you take the .apk file only it wont work as it will be missing the other .obex file.
Anyway, I am also guessing there is a way to merge the 2 files back, I read a little about "de-odex" but I couldnt really get the best help I could get. I will post the solution once I get to it.
Thanks again for your help mate!

I know it's a pain, but de-odexing the whole rom might help. Unless you already did this, in which case something is wrong with your download I imagine.

I post this question in Taboonay 2.2. But I think it may be more appropriate in this Q&A section. Here it goes.
I like Taboonay ROM alot. But I need Acer Sync and this ROM has it removed.
Taboonay Tools has Acer Sync. But when I use Taboonay Tools to get Acer Sync, nothing happens. I couldn't get Acer Sync installed on the tablet using Taboonay Tools. So I am now back to the Stock ROM as Acer Sync is important for me to sync with my outlook contacts and calendars.
Thus my question is, how can I install Acer Sync on to Tablet A500 after Taboonay 2.1 or 2.2 ROM has installed? I already installed Acer Sync on my PC (downloaded from Acer).
I appreciate if anyone who can help me with this. Thanks in advance.
i would say to extract the apk file from another rom who has it and instal it using file explorer instal at system/app
make sure you have su permisiion on file manager app
Thank you for your quick reply. I have tried your approach with root explorer. It won't install as it is a system application. I get installation failed error. If you have done it, can you elaborate it further in detail? Thanks.

You need to extract:
Acersync.apk
Acersync.odex
Acersynchelper.apk
Acersynchelper.odex
from a ROM that has it.
If I was doing it, I'd extract those files from system/app from a stock 3.2 ROM, and inject them into your ROM prior to installing it. That may get you where you need to be.

I did what you said I think:
1) Use root explorer to copy
Acersync.apk
Acersync.odex
Acersynchelper.apk
Acersynchelper.odex
from Stock ROM system/app folder to a external SD card
2) Get in ClockWorkMod and did Wipe Data/factory reset , Cache and dalvik before I installed Taboonay ROM (with updates to 2.2)
3) Use root explorer to copy the above 4 files from SD card to system/app
4) Change the permissions to include user's rights (all three)
5) click install
Then I get installation failed error.
If you get it work, please share with me how you did it. Thank you.

Winrar on a PC, navigate to the folder, click the "add" button, and you're set. Not rocket science.

One more thing, when you say extract, do you mean by using winrar to extract those files in a PC as well? I think now I see what you mean. It makes a lot of sense. Thanks a lot.

Why not use Google Calender Sync? Works really well for me. Syncs Outlook to Gmail which then the phone and tablet both readily work with. Not sure if it will do contacts though, if it does I blocked it from doing so very early on.
