hey guyss..!!
i have downloaded many themes for htc wildfire and they are in file format of .apk...

first you must enable in the setting "applications" the option "unknown sources" and than you can openv and install your apk-file from your sdcard

Default installation folder?

When i install an application from the market, in which folder it has been installed? Can i change the installation folder manually and collect all the installations into one folder i.e. /mnt/sdcard/Applications?
Also, where i can find .apk files downloaded from Android Market?
PS. I have Official Froyo ROM (not rooted)

[Q] Cryo mod and installing stuff

Hi ,
Im kinda new to the whole business, I managed to install the *cyanogen* mod which is pretty cool, except for the fact I have no google apps. I downloaded the gapps zip of the google addons. My question is how do I install them? I have them in my download folder and on my simcard folder, also I cant download rom manager because I dont have market on there. I also downloaded that source.
How do I install this stuff? from terminal or from PC to gadget?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys and girls!

cyanogen not cryogen -_-
nevermind, i think i figured it out, if it involes just renaming the packages to update and rebooting etc than I am ok. If not someone please say so lol
Just go into clockwork, install zip from sdcard, choose zip, then select 'yes'. Simple as that
You need to have Gapps on the root of the sdcard, meaning not in any folder. Do not rename it "update.zip" because that's what clockwork is. Reboot Into clockwork and choose "install from sdcard" or "choose zip" and flash. You should be golden.

[TUTORIAL] Sense 3.0 lockscreen from HTC Salsa

Hi,
Krakatoa, a Spanish member/dev, cooked a custom ROM for the Wildfire S which included the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen from the HTC Salsa.
For the people who wish this new lockscreen (with the silver ring to slide up), but don't want to flash a new rom, I made this little tutorial. I guess Krakatoa used the same method in his ROM.
IMPORTANT: Your Wildfire S needs to be rooted (and thus, S-OFF)!!
1) Download the attachment and copy it to your SDcard (from your phone offcourse...)
2) Download ES File Explorer from the market (free), open it and go into Settings, then tap "Root Options".
3) Check the "Root Explorer" box, tap "Yes" on the popup and accept the Superuser prompt.
4) Check the "Mount File System" box, and exit the Settings.
5) Navigate to /system/app (you may need to tap the SD card symbol on the top left to switch between internal memory and SD).
6) Tap and hold on "HtcLockScreen.apk" and rename it to "HtcLockScreen2.1.apk".
Do the same for HtcLockScreen.odex --> HtcLockScreen2.1.odex
7) Tap on the House icon at the top left to switch back to your SDcard and press+hold the downloaded HTCLockscreen.apk and choose "copy"
8) Tap the SD icon at the top left to switch back to the internal memory and navigate back to system/app/
9) In the system/app/ directory, tap the "arrow up icon" at the bottom and tap your HTCLockscreen.apk. This will paste the file into the system/app/ directory
10) Go back into Settings > Root options and uncheck both boxes.
11) Exit, reboot and enjoy your Sense 3.0!
PS: if you just rename the files and not copy the new file, you will get the standard Android lockscreen back.
I tested this and it works 100% (including new message widget) on stock European ROM with root access.

[Q] About wallpapers in Cyanogenmod7

Hello
How can I add a new wallpaper to Cyanogenmod ?
I tried to add a jpg file to /system/app/CMWallpapers.apk, but I can't see it to install it.
Sincerely
You don't need to install it.
Place the file there, then reboot. It should appear for you then.
I mean when I pull the CMWallpapers.apk file to /system/app/, I don't find the new wallpaper in the wallpapers list (Menu -> More -> Wallpaper -> CyanogenMod Wallpapers).
thank you
!!!! Just put the img onto your sdcard then press menu,wallpaper and go to gallery and choose the img.

[GUIDE] How to run HD games on our BLADE(most of them)

Hello guys!!
I am creating this thread as seeing so many of ques about running HD games on our blade.
So here it is:
Install any root file explorer( IMHO root explorer from speed software is the best!)
Mount the system with write permissions.
Then go to system/build.prop and open it using any file editor.
Find line looking something like "ro.product.id= or simply where you find the ZTE letters in capital
Replace them with HTC and replace "blade" word everywhere you find it with DesireHD and save the file and reboot you phone.
after phone booted,check settings>about phone you shoud find DesireHD there and yes you have done it.
install any hd game(possibly armv6 games) and let the game download the data.the game should work.and if this doesnt work for you simply download the game data for htc devices(you should google it) and place the in the game's data folder wherever it will be located(for gameloft,mostli it will be like this sdcar/gameloft/games(game-folder).
I got so many of hd games on my zte blade.
more tricks below:
Download chainfire3d app from here and the attached plugins
Then put the plugins at the root of the sdcard dont unzip them
Then launch the app it install the openGL libs and will reboot the phone itself
After that install the plugins from the app and choose desired plugin in either default setting or per app config in app
You should use unroll the texture to increase game performance
It should work for most of the games.
Download the attached file to use the 3g network instead of the wifi mode only
following file will allow you to download and verify the data withou using WiFi. Just place the attached file at thr root of the sd card and launch the game.
BEST OF LUCK!!!
I tried to change but it says can't save...
here what I have done...
ro.product.model=ZTE Blade changed it to HTC DesireHD
ro.product.brand=ZTE changed it to HTC
ro.product.name=blade changed it to DesireHD
ro.product.device=blade changed it to DesireHD
ro.product.board=blade changed it to DesireHD
and while tried to save , it says can't save
what should I do now......
