Hey everyone
Saw a few people were looking for a patched version of the ScanSearch application that ships with LG phones (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912217). I popped open reflector and modified it enough that it now launches on my non LG device.

@mods: if you want me to take the link down, please edit this out. PM me if the link disappears

Oh, just so you know, you will have to use this tool to install it. You will need to tick the "Replace assembly signatures" and "Remove DRM" options for it to work correctly.
now thats a great app, thanks

All apps I have tested yesterday on my OMNIA 7.
Deploy them with Xap Deployer V1.4 and mark the checkboxes...
Can you patch Panorama Shot too?
hm, it always direcing to east is bad..but otherwise its a great app...perhaps you can fix the issue of it always facing east?
Yes in scan search, compass does not work on hd2 hd7. stays in one direction.
Should be possible to make some kind of bridge that intercepts the calls to the non-existent LG driver and return it meaningful compass data, right? I don't quite have the knowledge to do it myself, but if you can mess with it enough so that it doesn't check if it's on an LG phone, it should be possible to direct it at a different DLL...
I don't get it, it's missing all the features but one.
The app can also scan CDs, books, movie posters, bar codes, etc. and none of that is here. It should have a list of icons on the left hand side to toggle between these, yet when installed on HD7 and Focus, it's all gone (I have LG Quantum too, so I can compare).

This functionality might have been implemented in an update? The only XAP I got to patch was the v1.0.0.0 ripped from the ROM. If you have a newer XAP, and post it, I'll be all to happy to update my site and post.
Strike that, I did patch the latest version. Will look into it.
Patched it, download from the same URL as before. It was a carrier check, meaning that only certain US Carriers could access those features. Now granted all devices the same supportedFeatures value.
If someone has a way of getting the orientation of other devices, I'm happy to give it a go, see if I can tweak it to a degree.
doesnt work, additional features are still not available for barcodes etc.
won't install on my focus
There's a Samsung Compass Homebrew library out there, which might be usable for this app with a bit of hacking. I've never tried it, though. Download the source for the "Functional Webserver" and it's in there.
as there is a htc compass app out now there, too.
someone interested in making a scansearch app with support for all devices?
ScanSearch is nice... Panorama shot is man oh man... so much better. I would say of the bunch its is the best... Also I get a manifest error...

yeah panorama shot is awesome app
why is none else able to code such thing...
wheres the files?
Works on my Dell Venue Pro....
Thanks : D
Edit: it loads, but it lok like it hasn't got access to the compass, because moving the phone does not move the compass in the scansearch app...
Hello all,
I'm trying to develop a Hybrid Application for WP7 (using a COM Bridge), but I'm facing some problems.
MS just approve a few RIL API for hybrid applications and my app needs communication with Sim card. So, if I use those API which aren't approved by MS, my app will not pass by MS Verification...
Does anybody had some problem like mine? Is there any way to access simcard without use the RIL API?
Thanks in advance!
No, Microsoft allows native development only to OEMs
Actually, if you just use the APIs approved by Microsoft and preload your app on a Phone, MS will approve it.
My problem is: Simcard API (at least the one that I need) is not allowed by Microsoft...
@bebe_evil:
Do you have any record of any non-OEM and non-carrier third-party app using COM or any other native functionality? It's not supposed to be permitted to third parties. The only apps I know that do this are all made by Microsoft or one of its big partners, or are homebrew.
Hey all,
Got a Dev-unlocked phone running mango, seeing the limits (3 apps, no file or registry access), I was going to roll back, find a list of apps that work, then upgrade again (mango is just awsome otherwise the new limits).
I have a CDMA phone, so some hacks don't really work as well.
So, what apps work in mango, that help access the registry, file system, extending the deployment limits, etc ? What is the process to correctly install them ?
Is there some app I should have to make sure these work and stay working with mango ?
I heard TouchXplorer works but, others to not. Does anyone know if Windows Phone Device Manager works (this seems to do almost everything here) ?
Thanks for any help here.
I see this question asked in a lot of threads but, no clear list, so I think this is needed here. Tool apps that you install in NoDo that will still work in mango...
Thanks !!

Navigon Selects works in Mango. I had it working when I had mango on 3 separate occasions (I went back 7 forth between NoDo & Mango a few times trying stuff).

Are you able to deploy those apps while using Mango? I hear people are getting an error when trying to deploy apps that use interop. Both of those apps do, yet I can deploy them in Mango just fine, as well as any other interop apps.

As expected, it deploys, but exits shortly after trying to start, which means that the COM DLL that you are using is homebrew. Only authorized COM DLLs can be used with interop on Mango.
The most random one I got to work on my Focus is the flashlight app that uses the flash. Pretty handy so I'm glad I didn't lose it...
Now if we can only figure out a way to get accent changer to work again I'll be happy as pizza.
Did you have to do anything special to get it to work? I restored back to NODO on my developer unlocked Focus and installed it then upgraded to Mango and it does the same thing as all the other apps with interop problems. I used the samsung registry app that you posted today.

if you change your system locale under settings to English (US) it may work again. working fine here.
There is this new app called flashlight-x in the marketplace. Sorry if this is a repost, but i couldnt find it anywhere. It works perfectly on every phone as far as i understand, even the Dell venue pro. It doesnt even use the constant shutter trick. Its just constant light with no annoying noise. Dont know how it works, but it does. Check it out.

Em, there are no documented APIs to control the camera LED in this manner. I think that this chap has managed to use an assembly that is only available/approved for OEMs and MOs., which is definitely a violation of Marketplace policies (for third-party developers). How this got through the Marketplace certification process is an utter mystery.
I have an app similar, it uses the recorder API, to turn on the flashlight, but it doesn't have the "start recording sound", and it delete all the data when the app is closed.
Flashlight by Rudy Huyn (iDaft,TvShows,etc)
But is not in the marketplace -_-
There are no documentated APIs in the "Class Library Reference for Windows Phone" that allow a third-party developer to force the camera LED to emit a steady beam of light. Hence, this application (Flashlight-X) is very likely in violation of section 4.2.1 of the the "Windows Phone Application Certification Requirements". I challenge anyone to prove me wrong here.
PS. The camera can only be accessed using the public APIs doc'ed in "Camera and Photos Class Support for Windows Phone". There is a Windows Phone camera API and a Silverlight 4 webcam API spec'ed there. Neither allow the camera flash (aka lamp) to be turned on to emit a steady beam of light.

so what?
I'm glad it exists it's a great app...
Jesus there are a lot of weiners on here
It does not work for ALL windows phones, as it is not compatible with my HTC Mozart.
Author of Flashlight-X did a good trick: he is dynamically loaded Microsoft.Phone.Media.Extended assembly and dynamically invoked all methods and properties (it's CLR!)
The bad thing is: he never saw Dave Amenta's comments and corrections http://www.daveamenta.com/2011-01/led-flashlight-for-windows-phone-7/ &
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10994125&postcount=23 to my flashlight project http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9663088&postcount=11 , so this flashlight-x app left a lot of mess (huge video files) in the app's IsolatedStorageFile. I'm afraid, his customers will start complain shortly
P.S. BTW, of course he can update the app but he should put reference to XDA forums/members to the app's "about" box

Technically you're right, there is no Microsoft.Phone.Media.Extended assembly in "authorized" assemblies list at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff626516(v=VS.92).aspx
But (!) author found a good trick to bypass Microsoft's app validator! Nice proof of concept, big thanks to flashlight-x author

Is there an application that can fake my location ? This is for check-in purposes. I think Android and iOS has it.
Technically this should fall under "General" discussion. (Had to say it as I've been nailed before ) .
Great question though as the WP7 app collection builds there will be a big need for this. MLB app comes to mind right away.....

actually it is more a Q/A question and a good one. I've been recently introduced to Android and thought it was nice to fake a location to use some navigation programs that otherwise would not open. the hope is that the location is stored someplace that is accessible by a 3rd party program and can be changed. would be nice.
If there was, it'd have to be homebrew and with native code. I think to do this on iPhone you'd need to jailbreak also, right?
It can be done and has but not approved by MS. It has the Facebook, Twitter, and 4SQ at this time and called GeoMAGIC.
You could also download the free sdk from create.msdn.com, and sideload the Xap file which you are trying to use for checkins. The emulator has a built in location 'faker' that uses bing maps to find locations. works pretty well
