Help
Just got the HTC Touch pro II. Been reading the posts and I found some answers to my questions... kinda. The thing is, and this is gonna sound very noob of me, but people have included some WinRar files that needed extracting on their posts. Problem is, I don't know what to do with them after they been extracted. Been trying to figure it out but no luck.
Example: I saw that the SkyFire Broswer is a good way to be able to use flash on your device (If there's an easier way please let me know), someone was nice enough to include a zip file. I DL it, extract it and then I'm stuck. Can someone put up step by step instructions as to what to do? Also, I'm looking for games although I don't really want to pay 4-5 bucks for a game. Any advice? I'm also trying to find a way to do some tethering. Just heard about doing this not too long ago. I read some stuff about it on this site but some people were talking about doing it in stealth mode... No idea why stealth mode would be needed. Anyway, thanks in advance :headbang: |

in the case of skyfire, ill just post the .cab file. just copy it to your storage card from the computer. find it through the file explorer on your phone and click it. a .cab file is like an exe for a computer. here are some games also. i got a lot of them at the following thread.
edit... my games zip was too big, but here are lots of games... http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=117326s of games... |

I hilighted a section of your post just to ensure that you are not looking for warez. This is not tolerated. If that's not what you meant then hopefully you can find some free games here. We are here to help you but please use the site as your own personal resource center. We all started off in your shoes and have learned the ways. As for the WinRar files. Search around for an app that best suits your need. For flash enabling this too is user preference. Some prefer Skyfire some like to tweak Opera to enable flash. Finally, read up on all the sticky thread that are in the Touch Pro 2 forum. They will help you greatly. Good luck and welcome! |

RAR files can be uncompressed using WinRAR or 7-Zip.
http://www.rarlab.com/ http://www.7-zip.org/ I personally use 7-Zip, but both work fine. After opening the RAR file with either program, you'll see a .cab file. As austin420 said, this is the file that needs to be copied and then run on your TP2. I personally transfer the files via Bluetooth from my laptop, but you can also do it by plugging your storage card into your PC and copying them onto there or selecting "Use as disk" when you connect the phone to the PC with the USB cable. Once you get the .cab onto your device, just use File Explorer to find where it's located (usually Storage Card or My Documents) and tap it once. The .cab will start installing and you just follow the prompts. |

Stealth mode is used so your phone carrier cannot tell you are using your device for tethering uses. Some charge extra for this, and 'stealth' makes it undetectable. Quote:

USB Tethering:
Here is the thread I used mine set up. I'm also on Sprint, using the stock 6.5 ROM. Works great. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=115051 You will need to install a registry editor first. I use PHM Regedit (attached to this post). WiFi Tethering (using your phone as a wireless hotspot): I've attached the XDA-Tom_Codon CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA.cab that I use. This also works perfectly and does not interfere with the USB tethering app, meaning you can have both installed to have a choice of how to tether. I can't remember which thread I got this from (if anyone knows the link, please post it!). |
