[Q] Which key to have unsigned apps? - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

Hi, I unlocked my phone and begun to install some apps.. Now, I reached the limit and I want to install more. I red that you have to modify this:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install]
"MaxUnsignedApp"=dword:7fffffff
But I just have a horrible registry editor, so I can't see the folder Install.. please help me!

Use provxml method as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15791198&postcount=109 (such as many other forum topics)
P.S. I understand, you are very proud of your HTC HD7 but for God sake remove that big picture from your signature!

[Q] Any way to _read_ the file system of WP7?!

Hey Guys,
i'm looking for a method to read (and maybe transfer it to my PC) the files of the WP7 file-system for an analysis (not only the isolated storage files - i need more )
( I don't want to run unmanaged code, i only want to view the files of the system)
Reason:
i'm writing my bachelor thesis about the possibility's of a forensic analysis (on WP7).
It would be very (very!!) helpful for me if there is a code example how to do this (if possible)
Edit: i'm working on a samsung omnia 7
Thanks!
endeffekt
(sorry for my english )
you can read the isolated storage files in your PC now?
Search the forum. There are a couple threads here discussing that topic. Normally I would link to it but today I'm not in the mood to do someone's homework for them. (Dang, I'm in a rotton mood today).

There's not a whole lot you can do with that out of the box - It's mainly just a proof-of-concept, showing how you can use a COM Library to read the files. I'm working on a file browser that will attempt to load the files in a basic text reader, but there's little use for providing the sample as a XAP, it just attempts to read BasePolicy.xml.
thanks , then I will wait till you build a nice file explorer , so we can look what files are in the win dir .
FileBrowser
Source
Still very basic, not the most stable either, but at least you can browse the Windows folder, and read text files.
I'll probably put more effort in once I've got further with my SevenIRC App.

Yes, just double click your xap file and point windows to this deployer. Choose replace signature and remove drm:

first, i want to thank you for posting your tools. i tried your suggestion to install the Voice-to-Text app, but i still got a message saying "Sorry, this application only works on LG's phone." guess it has to be patched differently?
This is not a DRM issue.
HTC and LG apps all check if they are running on the correct type of phone.
We have to found what they actually check (registry? file? driver call? other native API?) to see if we can trick this API.

It should be registry. This is the registry of an HD7:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo]
"OemName"="HTC"
"MODeviceName"="HD7 T9292"
"OEMDeviceName"="Schubert"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident]
"FriendlyName"="HTC HD7"
Hopefully, someone will share the registry attributes from an LG handset

Waste of time. HTC apps make use of HTC drivers which only HTC phones have because they are in the HTC ROMs.

It's very easy for LG. They get a custom property via the camera API. It's in the LGAppCommonLibrary.dll . Just replace the call with "return true" and you are done.
(But the voice to text app is not working as good as I expected..)

thanks for this info but How did you change the call to return true?
you have decompiled the dll??
what tool ? reflector?

ildasm. First use reflector and find the function, then view the IL and copy and paste something unique. Then convert the dll to IL using ildasm, then edit the IL to return true by searching for the unique string then editing the part you want, then convert it back to a dll using ildasm again. Then open it in reflector to check the code has been changed the way you expected.
Cant we just make a dummy file
Can't we just make a dummy file for when an HTC app tries to check what type of phone it is checks this and thus lets you use that app?

any way you can expand on what you mean by replacing the call with return true?
also, can you explain the whole use of ildasm and reflector again? i feel like i found the string, i just dont know what you mean by copy paste something unique or editing the part you want
I recently read a similar forum somewhere (I forge otherwise I'd offer up) there was a link to get the LG apps on any unlocked wp7 the .xap files are there but the only one I tried was voice to text. Its worth a Google search I suppose tho cause it is out there.

[HowTo]Lift 80 mb sideload limit

Im not sure if others have noticed this, but when using the deployment tool from Resumable XAP Tool v0.1 Release , RedAngel, should be inside the folder. I can sideload apps 80mb+ without a hassle. Im not sure if they removed the 80mb limit in mango, but this works. You can just right click an xap, open with, and redirect it to RedAngel.exe then just double click the xap to deploy, itll have an ugly icon but i dont mind
Hope this helps, Sorry if this has been posted.
let me know if this works for you
You just have to install VS10-KB2486994-x86.exe from Microsoft website to sideload big XAP.

You can open whatsapp through fastlane history. Or it is best advised that you install Whatsapp+, which works just fine.
You may try this link, where I've given all possible methods to solve this issue.

if you root your device. you can change build.prop to use whatsapp.
use any root file manager like 'root explorer' then go to system/ and open build.prop and text edit
change ro.build, ro.manufactor, ro.device , to another famous device.
i change it to nexus 4
Open and edit "build.prop" located in "/system" (root needed)
Change Nokia in "ro.product.manufacturer=Nokia” and put another manufacturer i.e. Sony
Save changes and restart.
same with me whatsapp not supported
erf when i try to save the new file, it says i can't save it. Any ideas?

Hello.
Everyone here and in any thread regarding the whatsapp problen with Nokia X is talking about whatsapp+ as a solution for this issue, but I can't for the life of me find anything resembling "Whatsapp+" nor "Whatsapp plus" in the play market. Can some charitable person please tell an ignorant where on earth can that whatsapp+ (or whatsapp plus, or whatever) be found?
Thank you!

That's because Whatsapp won't allow Whatsapp+ to register on Google Play.
So, to get Whatsapp+, goto it's official website. Here is the link: http://www.whatsapp-plus.net/download.php

1. so you mean to say that if i Replace Baidu (and not sony) in place of Nokia, my phone wont get softbricked?????
2. do i have to replace Nokia with Baidu in every line of "build.prop" or just the one on "ro.product.manufacturer=Nokia” ????
3. just to be on the safe side, can i go into nokia recovery and backup my system folder (so that if my phone gets softbricked i can restore it)?? if yes then how can i do that???
thanks in advance....

You're to replace it only in the line “ro.product.manufacturer=Nokia”
