Help Unable to install skins from HTC Hub

[Felinejade]

Hi there, just wanted to say thanks very much for posting the solution to this problem, I had been tearing my hair out trying to resolve this issue and I would never have figured out how to resolve it on my own. I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly!

I have had my htc wildfire s for a week and was very annoyed to be experieincing problems with it! Very pleased with my lovely new skin!

Thank you!! Fixed my problem also

Thank you, I have managed to download skin but am still having trouble installing as it is asking me to free up space, which i have done

 

[Sems]

Yey got there in the end !!! Space really seems to be an issue though, I dont have many Apps.

Thanx tho as i am a techno phobic and I eventually managed to sort it!!! lol

Thanks sunyhj, fixed my problem...

For those not able to see a .data folder on the SD card, I had the same problem, I had to go into the settings for my file explorer (ES File Explorer,) And enable the viewing of hidden files & folders.

downloaded ASTRO... not exactly sure how to install the skin through the data file?

Create .data folder into to root of sdcard. Then try to install the skin like you did in the first place.

It doesn

 

[Harish Harris]

Have you created file named .data or just data?

 

[Aero-Z]

Have you created file named .data or just data?

You don't create a file named .data but FOLDER named .data.

 

[Harish Harris]

You don't create a file named .data but FOLDER named .data.

Oops!!! My mistake. Typed it as "file" instead of "folder".

[beachshaz]

Sorry so new to all this tec, installed astrofile manager, how do i create new folder in sdcard, in my 40s and tec challanged.

 

[brotherswing]

@ pranith - try pulling the battery and holding the power button down for thirty seconds. The power back up and try again.

@ beachshaz - try long pressing on the main screen in astro, that should pull up a context menu, like right clicking in windows. If that doesn't work, hit the menu button from astro's main screen, there ought to be an option there for it.

 

[pranith]

@brotherswing
