New Private Beta Marketplace - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

If anyone's noticed, App Hub was just updated to support a new private beta marketplace. Most importantly, it doesn't require certification.
I'm not sure what the problem has been in the past with the Marketplace and 'InteropServices' apps. But if it was the actual certification that was stopping someone from submitting one, maybe this new beta marketplace could help 'jailbreak' Mango.

No. I do not see a private beta marketplace. How do you access it?

Developers publish the app as a 'beta app' and then they will be able to send invites via Live ID email address to the people they want to test it.

Did it just give you an error when you uploaded the .xap file?

Testing apps on a phone

Hi all apologies if this doesnt belong here - i dont post much.
But i had a question in relation to testing an app im developing on a real phone as opposed to the emulator on PC.
I'm really hoping u dont have to register as a developer before u can actually test the app ?
I know the phone needs developer unlocking but surely they should allow testing first - who know when i'll need/want to put the app on the marketplace.
Thx

You need to be registered and have your identity verified before you can unlock your phone for development use. Very annoying for students who don't have their identities verified until after they submit an app for certification.

It's very easy to get by this problem... Submit a blank WM 6.5 application. It will get denied and you will get verified.
So there is now way to deploy tools to your own phone without paying 99$ if you are not a student?
that has always existed... you need to have an @edu account registered MS under the DreamSpark program, which only your school/university can do i believe (as it requires verification, which i didn't bother with).
Yeah ok, i´m no student and a dont want to pay to build some apps form my own phone...

They didn't do it to stop that, they did it to slow piracy, that combined with the 10 sideloaded app limit does put a dis-incentive to abusing this method.
Also if an app is good enough for you, perhaps it'd do well as a free or paid app on the marketplace.

[Q] Is there a post NoDo hack?

Is there a Chevron replacement for post NoDo hacking for WP7 Samsung Focus?
If you're a student (or you have access to an edu email address) why not developper unlock it for free? Then you can do all the reg editting necessary to sideload as many apps as you want...

Where can you get that? I have a valid student email account.
I'd also like to know. I didn't see anything on the Microsoft site suggesting this was possible, but was pretty sure there must be a way to get an educational account.
check out dreamspark.com
Yes please!!!
Post NoDo hack would be awesome. Just upgraded my Focus and now I can't unlock anymore! Tried everything and no-do (hahah get it?)
Help please!!!
Brilliant! I just signed up for a dreamspark account with my fiancé's student account and now I am getting to register my device...but then again couldn't I always do this? I was under the impression the $99 fee was just to post your app to the marketplace... I am confused the more I think about it.

You won't get it unlocked with chevron after nodo. The trick is to unlock it before you do nodo with this meathod ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009974

Yeah, it seems like it cannot be donwloaded yet due to permission issues.
I cannot download. Anyone else?
It IS showing in Spain but when I try to download it, it gives me an unknown error. I guess we won't be able to download it until Mango is officialy out...
I have an unknown error too
nodo 7 pro, singapore
This is mean. I want this app!
It's not showing in phone's marketplace. But in zune it is.
Btw, if you search for it you will not find. But if you open the link it will.
running it now.
Download it trough 3mktplace, that will work, just copy the zune link from the article.
It is not as good as I hoped. Very laggy and a sloppy design, far from professional. Hopefully this will change soon, maybe they pulled it for some reason and thats why it does not show up on the phone.

[APP] FBMetro, a Mini Facebook App

Currently I am building and shortly will be done with my Facebook Metro App for Windows 8 and the idea is to have 2 UI's.
1). Full Screen w/Most Features.
2). Half-Sized w/Basic features so you can use your favorite App's while still accessing your Facebook features, feed and etc.
Question is, what would YOU want added to either UI?
Well u should post some pictures of the program so we can see what it has and hasnt so we can give you opinions When its really upload it and i will test it for sure
After or on Tuesday, I can share the design as I am scheduled with a MS Engineer to help my App have the final touches and tested as well and hopefully first Facebook App in the Store.
Also thanks for responding.

Feature request
Please implement off line messages because the Messaging app won't let you send them
Looking forward to FBMetro! (Suggestion to call it MetroBook instead! )
Do half-sized mean Snapped mode?

Offline messages? As in check for personal messages and grab them and save them for no-connection viewing and respond while offline and when/if connection available automatically send?

Well FBMetro is really just the project name, Facebook already has an App registered as Facebook Metro.
The half-sized mode is in fact the snapped mode... I have included old-SS of which the actual App does not represent anymore as of my meeting with my Microsoft sponsor who wouldn't permit me to go any further with the design, even though I was nowhere near done lol.
Note: Job Discovery is my other App for Win8 and is actually currently a free WP7 App. In the photo you can see that my Facebook App can be used by other Developers to post information from their App using my pre-established Auth to the end-users Facebook Account. Yes, they can actually implement my App to be used by theirs.
nice, where can I get it?
It's coming, very soon!
and here is my idea....
as you may know in our country (iran) we can't access FACE.BOOK...we have to use v.p.n and other pro.xy apps...
it'll be gr8 if you add setting to your app so that we can add pro.xy and these kind of things...(especially pro.xy...)
thanks...

question
hy. I just want to know, when it will be available? could we download it from windows store? I'm a really big METRO UI fan, and I would be happy if I can use facebook in this way.
and of course sorry for my bed english
Cool App!!
I am actually working with someone from Microsoft to get the App Certified, I had to really redo A LOT of the UI as they have made the standards really rough.
Right when it's ready, I will immediately provide the link.
Thanks for your interest!

Your username was about, lol, I will try to create a better registration form and such after buolding the api
Will you add a possibility to browse the supplied XAPs? That would be really awesome And you said you're building an API, I could help you with making a WP app so it's possible to browse and install directly from the phone in an easy way
Hope this goes well cause this could be a really good store. I see a lot of possibilities here
