Some of reader has asked this question many time that how to apply an .app file to an installed application. Here is guide to apply .app file correctly.
Short Info..

[ad#chi60]

.APP file – it is not an installer that you will install to ur mobile.
If we can see some execution file in our windows in “.EXE”. We use it to run programs,
for example, Explore ur C:/Programfiles/ and open any folder you like, you can see there that there’s an .exe file.
[ad#co-1]
if you click it, you will be able to open that Application.
Like in our Symbian Phones, .exe file is replaced as .app file.
And .app file is available to register(cr4ck) some applications and games.

i hope you get what i mean..

So here’s how you do with the file..

1. First you will need a File Explorer such as FEplorer, Profiexplorer, Fileman, etc.
install any of this ‘coz you will need this through the process.

All apps mentioned are available to download easily.
FExplorer 1.12 is suggested.

2. If ever you download an app that comes with .APP file, first install the .SIS file onto ur mobile.
after installing, if you open the app you can get some registration reminder, so here it is..

3. Send the .APP file to ur Mobile(lots of ways, tru BT, IR or Card Reader)

3.1 Tru IR or BT – Send it once, but do not open it as it will come as text message, pop up
will come saying “Unknown File Format”. Just go to ur File Explorer. At the root, you can
see [Inbox], Open it and you can see there the .APP file that you’ve sent click on the Option>Edit>Copy then go to X:/System/Apps/ the folder of the app[for example CallRecorder].
at the folder click again Option>Edit>Paste, and it will ask you if you want to override existing, just click yes.
After pasting, go to the application you just modified and see if theres any pop up for registering that app. If none, go to ur Messages Inbox and delete the messages that comes from ur IR or BT.

That’s it! so be done..

3.2 Tru Card Reader – First install the app on ur mobile and choose Memory to store that app. This option is applicable only for those who likes to install apps or games to their Memory Card.
Just Simply insert ur Memory Card into Card Reader. Open the drive that contains the file and to the DIR of the app you will copy and paste the .APP file.
For Example CallRecorder. Copy the .app file from ur computer and paste it at Y:/System/Apps/CallRecorder. and it will ask you if you want to override existing, just click yes.

That’s it again..

Note: X – means where you install the Apps or Games only in C: or E:
Y – means the drive you open ur Memory Card

Hope you find it usefull and easy to understand.

A breakthrough for Symbian S60 3rd Edition (OS 9.1)
Solution for backing up and restoring Messages

[ad#chi60]
I am very glad to inform you all, the MOST-WANTED solution for backing and restoring your messages from your memory card. By default in symbian S60 edition phones, when we store messages on memory card, it gets stored in system/mail folder.
The same thing happens on Symbian 3rd edition phones too, but only difference is that the mail folder is buried deep inside the private folder..
What you need to access it..
1) Connect your handset to pc in the “Data transfer” (Mass storage) mode
2) Go to the Private folder on your memory card
3) Open the folders in sequential manner
4) Look for 1000484b (PARENT) folder or like that under which you will find Mail (Child) or mail2 folder, you are looking for.
5) Copy that (PARENT) folder to your PC
6) After you format you memory card using handset, copy back the same folder PARENT from pc again under Private folder on memory card using mass storage mode.
7) Voilla!!! You have got all your messages as it is.
– OR –
Follow 1st step as it is, then go to search option on your pc, include system, hidden files and folders in search options and search for “mail” folder.. and follow steps 5 to 7 as it is.

Post any of your queries..
Another tutorial in line for creating folders under folder in damn easy way

Note:Message cant be transfered to phone memory…
The system files of phone memory cant be accessed due to new security levels in the 3rd edition phones…

Hack the N95’s News reader template!(IT HELPS ONLY IF YOU ARE A REGULAR FEEDS READER ON YOUR N95 WEB FEEDS)

As you may have already know, Nokia N95 runs S60 platform 3rd edition, Feature Pack 1 and it means that it comes with new improved Safari browser and improved RSS reader. Feed reader now supports the Atom format (in addition to RSS) and the browser renders feeds in html format.

Previously, feeds could only be viewed as short text only summaries while the new version is capable to process and show, images, full text and links in html format which is incomparable better solution, but… .. .

Unfortunately, the main layout/template isn’t as good as it should be and therefore whole concept doesn’t looks very well and we getting lot of complains related to the news reader.

[ad#chi60]

Text size is simply too large and it makes feed really hard to use and not eye friendly. Even worse, feed reader isn’t affected by the font settings in the browser itself and there is no way to change the font size just like that.

You would need the following:
Ready made freaking RSS templates
yBrowser or any other 3rd party file manger like Fexplorer, Active file, X-plorer

1.)
Restart phone and run yBrowser(ANY FILE MANAGER)
2.)
Go to root of C:\ drive

3.)
Highlight
feeds_view_template.html
4.)
Delete it!
5.)
Now download the template given below and extract the content from the rar file somwhere on your PC.
6.)
Upload the feeds_view_template file to your phone, via the cable in mass storage mode or simply send it via BT.
7.)
Once uploaded run the yBrowser again, find the file and choose:
Options / Edit / Copy
8.)
Go to root of C:\ drive and choose:
Option/edit/paste

Note: But i won’t advice deleting the original file. just copy it to your pc and save a copy there or in the memory card in case you want the default one back…

That’s it, run Safari and enjoy in new eye friendly layout, hope you like it

I have seen a problem with “stuck” installer files in S60 3rd
Edition phones for a couple of times. The information from Application Manager shows that the applications are not installed. However, they cannot be deleted because there is no Delete menu (see screenshot below). They cannot be re-installed either because it always fails with “Unable to install” message. Those files are basically just stuck there.

[ad#emin]

From my opinion, it looks like a bug in S60 3rd Edition (not sure if this has been fixed in S60 3rd FP1). I don’t really know how to reproduce this problem, but it has happened to my phones several times. Once, I saw this problem after one application failed to install. In other occasions, I saw this problem after resetting my phone to the default factory settings.

What should we do if we have this kind of “stuck” installer files in S60 3rd Edition? One way is to delete the installer file manually via Windows Explorer. Unfortunately, we cannot use any file manager application because those files are located in a protected folder.

* Firstly, connect your phone to a PC via USB.
* Choose Data Transfer (a.k.a. Mass Storage). Do not select PC Suite because you won’t be able to browse protected folders in PC Suite mode.
* Open Windows Explorer on your PC.
* Go to \private\10202dce on the phone’s folder.
* There, you should be able to find the installer files (.sis). Just remove them using Windows Explorer.

You can also acess & even delete these file using phone just go to file manager

And use Search (find) the folder private
and in that go to the 10202DCE and delete the file which are not installing

(Credit: F-Secure)The Beselo.A and Beselo.B worms are in the wild, looking to lure Symbian S60 users into clicking on their incoming malicious files, according to a warning issued Tuesday by F-Secure.

[ad#chi60]

The Beselo worms are tricky, in that they use common media file extensions, rather than a standard SIS extension, in sending their malicious payload.

Like the Commwarrior worms, the Beselo worms rely on MMS and Bluetooth to get around, with some social engineering thrown in to trick users into installing the SIS application installation file. But because this file has a common media file extension, such as beauty.jpg, sex.mp3, or love.rm, users are more likely to click “yes” to an installation prompt when opening the file, notes F-Secure.

F-Secure offers this word of advice: just say “no” to such a request.

“There is no reason for any image file to ask installation questions on the Symbian platform, so any image or sound file that does something else than play immediately is without question something else than it claims to be,” warns F-Secure.

That’s the latest twist on smart-phone worms, which debuted in 2004 with the arrival of the Cabir worm. The Beselo worms, meanwhile, were initially clumped in with the pervasive Commwarrior worms, until a discovery was made about their use of common media file extensions.
