Installing applications to an XDA... .

David333

I'm struggling... . I have my XDA hooked up to my Vista laptop and everything connects perfectly. Whilst browsing this site I found an iphone skin thing which looks quite impressive. I thought that I'd like to turn my XDA into an iphone so I'd download and install it... . Well, to be honest, I don't really know how to. Are there any idiot-proof guides out there for installing appliations...? I've downloaded the file to my desktop, tried copying it to my program files on my XDA (which works), but when I click on it, it just won't install. Is there some sort of file I need to click on specifically...? Is there a better way of getting this to work...?

Secondly I've been trying to find a T9 input thing. I hate having to use my stylus to send a quick SMS, and would love just to find something which replicates my phone's keypad on the screen, something I could use my fingers on, something on which I could type quickly. Does anyone have any suggestions...?

Thanks very much.

you usally have to have the phone connected, but run the install app from the computer not the xda itself
the ahem same kind of sites i presume you got the iphone skin you can also find larger keyboards, finger friendly ones

If its just a .tsk theme, you should be able to copy it to your device (My Computer -> Mobile Device) then browse to the folder on your device and tap it. It should apply the theme automatically.

If its a program, you will need to run it on your computer with your device connected. It should then install the program to the device.

There are a couple of large finger keyboards, however, depending on the model of XDA, some of the screens on earlier devices cannot cope with large area presses, such as a finger.
