download the cab, copy it anywhere on your phone, browse to it with phones file manager, run it, done.

what file do click to run

locate file explorer on your phone as others have said. Navigate to the folder where you copied cht 1.8.5 then click on the file, this will prompt an install just choose device as directory and install. Be sure to also install the chteditor you must download it the link is on the cookie forum, and install it the same way.

the cab file.
Dont get confused and unpack the .cab on your pc, because it will open with winzip or winrar or something whilst on the PC and show four files.
DO NOT do this.
Copy the .cab file whole to the phone, then on the phone open start menu - file manager - find the .cab file, and tap it to run it.

ok ill try that and see what happens

how do i move it as a whole without usin winrar?

i got it thanks to all

The easiest way I have found is to download cabs straight to your phone with the phone's browser (opera or IE). I created a folder on my sdcard called "cabs" and I download to that folder. You can then navigate to that folder with your file browser and install from there by tapping on the file you want to install. This method works well for .cab files anyway. I (so far anyway) have installed all my apps to internal phone memory.

Seems like you made it a lot harder than it should have...i know you are new..and at one point I was too. So I know the feeling..I am still a little hesitant to try things...especially for the "BRICKING" factor...but please...read this before you carry on..seriously...read. Thanks and good luck with your new phone! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663845

Sync your device with ActiveSync. Transfer the cab file to your device. Browse to where you copied the cab file on your device with a file browser (Total Commander, File Explorer, etc.) and then run the cab file (this is within your device, not on your computer).
Welcome to the wonderful world of flashing lol. Im actually suprised that you flashed a rom but haven't read on .cabs yet
Anyway if you have the .cab downloaded to your pc just copy it to your sdcard. Then use file explorer to navigate to where you placed the .cab, select it and it will install. Most cabs will ask if you want to install to device or sdcard, it's that simple. Good Luck
Thanks everyone!!! Im hooked!

you could also just drag the file from ur comp to sdcard. then open file explorer->tap the cab file and it'll take u to an install page.

cab files don't download on my computer

when I download the files, I don't have cab files. For instance, I downloaded the CHTEditor. It downloaded as a zip file w/ the .cab extension. when I click it to unzip, there are no cab files. Just some kind of file w/ the little windows icon next to it. Is there some way to download the .cab file for editor (and all the other files that do this to me) ota?
I think you are in the wrong forum. It's not a HD2 problem but a windows problem. Maybe a Mod will move your thread to the right forum.
if you "run" a cab on your pc it opens like a zip. instead copy the whole cab to your phone and run it.the phone sees it as an installer.

you ROCK! I have been trying to figure that out for the past 2.5 weeks. THANK YOU!!!

.cab files

I just put Kumar's v 2.0 custom flash on my phone and want swype on it. I downloaded the .cab file but have no idea what to do with it. Do I just extract it into my Custom RUU folder and re-flash it with the cab files in there?
No, you sync your phone with your pc and open your flash memory,then drag and drop the cab into it. Then explore it on your device with File Explorer and install it from there.
I think this should be moved to General
Excellent, thank you

How to install apps

So I tried to search but couldnt find what I was looking for.
How do you exactly install apps, themes or games properly on this phone. The only program I found that somewhat worked was Omarket. Reading here in the forums people suggested that all the apps or themes I would need were here. I found both apps and themes I like but cannot get them on the phone to work.
I download the the theme or app on my computer then I make a custom folder on my SD card then extract all the files to that folder. When I go back into my phone and try to do a set up I get taken to a blank white screen that says something like
file://localhost/Storage%20Card/<name of program or app>
Im new to this phone been trying to research alot about it.
I tried finding all the "noob" post to read but maybe Im not finding the right ones
If for some reason you needed to know my software info here it is.
ROM Version: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE
Radio Version: 2.10.20.26
Thx for any and all of your help. Im trying! =P
Apps that can be installed from the phone will have a .cab extension. Locate the folder with the .cab files and click on one. It will start the install process.
Apps with .exe extensions will need to be loaded from you computer. Make sure your device is hooked up via activesync and click the .exe app you want to install.
So for the .cab files I have to go to the website from my phone and download them there for it to be on my phone properly? Or is there any way I can download them to my desktop then transfer it to my phone and then install it on my phone?

"How to install a cab.
You simply download the cab to your computer. Then, copy/paste the cab to your storage card using the USB connection. Then, using your file explore on your phone locate the cab file in your storage card and install it by double taping the file. Install onto device or storage card. I prefer installing onto the storage card."
Take a look at my sticky, you'll find it to be very helpful.

you can do it either way. If you download them to your desktop, connect your phone via active sync, copy the cab and past it to where ever it is that you want to save it on your phone. (sd card is prefferred for space reasons) after that, open the location where the cab is stored and you can run it from there. If you download from your phone, determine where you want to save the cab, your options will be device and card. You will also have an option to save in a specific folder. after that, locate the cab and instal.

do NOT unzip the downloaded .cab file , just copy this cab file to the storagecard of your phone , after that open file explorer on your phone and navigate to your storagecard , once there just tap the .CAB file and install it on the storagecard
latest Cookie homeTab : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=345890&d=1276946735
latest CHTEditor : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=345872&d=1276943659
install both cab"s
thanks for all your help
Keep in mind when using certain things that they have to be on the device directory and not the storage card. A few examples are cleanRam and registry editors because they need to be installed to the device to be able to perform the way you want and recognize the components it searches for.
