First of all there are many different ways to install apps, so the

best bet is, until you get used to the different types, just ask ;)

Now for doom,

extract the zip file and you will have a folder called doomspv, in this folder

you will have the doomspv.exe file and another folder containing the doom1.wad file.

Place the whole unzipped folder on your storage card (so the doom1.wad folder in inside the

main doomspv folder containing the exe file)

Once on your card right click and copy the exe file and then go to IPSMWindowsStart MenuGames

and right click Paste shortcut.

And that is it so you can now go to programsGames and start playing :)

If you get long load times etc go to http://www.bodenhoff.com/Spv/doom.html and you can

download the latest version of the .exe file

Have fun

Could someone tell me how to install a skin?

Guest PsychoDave

Depends on the type of skin you want to install.

If its just a background then paste it into ipsm/application data/home (you might need to create the dir yourself if it ain't there)

If its a .hme file then paste it into ipsm/windows/start menu/accessories and run it from the program menu. Thats if you don't have a decerted phone, if you do just put it anywhere on the phone and browse to it using smartexplorer or all explorer and run thru that.

Hope that helps if not feel free to hurl abuse ;)

The phone can be application unlocked via Orange website but this requires a GPRS connection.

Do you have a G displayed in the top centre of the phone ?

Which network & country are you using the phone in ?

If you don't have GPRS activated on you account then you'll have to de-certify manually.

Its the top center G that shows if GPRS has been activated in your account. The same G as on this Tanager picture.

http://www.coolsmartphone.com/index.php

The corner G is for an active session which you may have to setup.

I just want to make sure that that you don't have GPRS activated on your account first as this would be the easiest and safest way to application unlock.

Some of the instructions I've seen for manual unlock are quite difficult to read and I would probably try and find instructions that are the easier to follow. We now also have a program that will copy a file for you, to speed things up. There are several topics in this forum but its been a while since I last looked at them.

Although maybe you phone is already unlocked for applications.

Have you tried running uncertified software ?

Topic for aplication unlock process.

(Tip: after copying xml file to C drive, goto properties and disable read only, this will allow you to ammed the file and save it under same file name. Re-enable read only protect after file ammendment. After phones hard reset, use auto copy program to save to smartphone).

This is a topic for using the automatic file copying program.

Also have a look at more info.

When your happy with the procedure, you'll fint it actually only takes a couple of minutes to do.
