no. and there is no hope in sight

That really really sucks
I saw that someone extract the EM.xap from a DVP. I am just wondering how they did that. If you can get a file, you can browse.

browsing the registry WAS possibly Pre-Mango. But apparently interop_services or something is not enabled by DELL and so there is no hope. Sure hope I am wrong though

Registry reading is still possible with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929433. Im just wondering how they read files to begin with.

that thread is dead and never made any real progress. I can assure you it is not possible at the moment to read or write to the registry after mango update, unfortunately

Well, it is if you have interop-unlock (possible to read on any device, possible to write on any device except Dell). The catch is currently there's no known way to interop-unlock a Dell.

I was really hoping with an updated EM App (1.12) that some doors might possibly be opened. Looks like that is not the case

File Explorer Demoed For Windows Phone 7, Coming Soon

this is interesting, so does this mean we will be able to download mp3s and such through the web browser and access them using this like we can on windows mobile?
i doubt. it appears to just be an app, so unless it's homebrewed to use interop to do it in which case i don't see it getting into the market place.

if you read his web site you will see that it is only for homebrew , and that is the best that can happen for a file explorer
http://www.touchxperience.com/
I really hope that schaps either releases the source code, or doesn't obfuscate it so other developers can make use of this.
yea likewise. though based on readings, i believe he's just calling HTC's interop service to pull the file listings that way.

[HTC] Touchxplorer release

http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=582&p=2310#p2308
julian schapman has just released touchxplorer there are some limits
it seems to only work on htc devices. Non htc devices will have to wait a bit...
The device is only meant for chevron unlocked/developer unlocked devices that are HTC
Have fun with it
As a matter of fact, tried it on Samsung Omnia 7 and it didn't work. Very promising
Hi there, I couldn't find it on Martket PLace ... so, how did u install it ? thanks.

maybe you should read the post before commenting...theres a link and a set of instructions.
Anyhow, already had it loaded on my phone since earlier. Been monitoring his site. It works as advertised. Can't wait till we get some more functionality =D
I like it. Work very well. Top!
One wish I have:
In the folder "Windows", if I mark one file, open this and go back,
its a litle bit sad, that open after from the begining "Windows", and begin not at the last opening.
You have after to scroll a long way down, till you are at the last file you see.
But its only a detail. ;-)
Very good work!
Here we go again.
Some apps in the legit market place and others in the grey market. Yay?
Is it possible to copy WP7 to PC?
works outstandingly! very fast, very smooth on my device. got a custom ringtone!!!!! thanks so much
I actually had this installed for the past week on my HD7 which is what I am typing this post on but just 10 minutes ago a message came up and stated that Touchxplorer has be revoked by Microsoft and it would not let me do anything TILL I uninstalled it. Anyone else getting this problem? Looks like I will have to reinstall it somehow.

Zune likes to relock the device which causes that error... you just need to unlock it again to get it working.... very fun game of unlocking all the time...
There's one bug: sometimes after backing to the previous folder the list displays each item twice. Except that, the app works perfectly.
Just got an error. This app has been revoked by m$hit please uninstall. Should i reinstall it and will it work?

m$hit? Really? You purchased and use a product by a company you refer to as m$hit? You don't seem like the brightest person in the world and definitely not the most mature. I have to hope you're 12 years old, I would prefer to not believe an adult would be so lame.
Work fine on HTC HD7!

Hi I also really tried but I can not find how to install this on my HD7
Can you or somebody please explain how ?
Did any one had success in copying files from WP7 to PC or the other way around?
I used the zune storage hack and copied some word documents on to the device, in the same folder I have put 2 ringtones I know work using ringtone installer from chevron, some photos and other files.
Sadly I can not find them anywhere on the device via Touchxplorer?
Any ideas?
The same the other way around. Found all the folders holding my music/videos (albait not with original file names) and tried copying other files in there including wp7 ringtones. I can see all items that were there when zune added them but none of the one's I copied.
Any solution?
how can i install it on my phone?

[Q] Sideloading Apps

Are there any?
Windows Phone 7 is already open to homebrew applications.
The chevron tool unlocks the device, but to anyone that isn't a developer there seems to be no point to this.
The question is are there any sideloading applications readily available for us non-developing members? Or should I, for now, leave my device locked.?
(And to all you Devs making Apps keep up the good work. And dont let excited people like me rush you )

Yes I have searched...
And the best i could find was infact the same information, that being that the chevron App unlocks it.
Thanks for the help...
So far the only really useful capability we've unlocked is the ability to do networking. Someone used that to make a webserver, which is cool, but the average user probably won't be too interested in it. We're still working on unlocking a lot of other things, though.
The best thing to do is to hop in, learn to program, and start coding yourself! With a weekend, you should be able to make something fairly basic and nice.

WP7 7.0.7355.0v KA1 unlock?

got Omnia 7 with WP7 7.0.7355.0 v (xxka1 rom).
i have copy/paste...
any1 else got this version and can confirm chevronwp7 working?
can't get it to unlock...
i could unlock previous version (before service)
now i alway get no connection... (zune etc. all running) and tried it 100times with all different settings from forums...
we were informed that after the release of Nodo
MS would kill the chevron
So I think that you can not do anything with Chevron
yeah i read that
but do i really have the NoDo update already?
Where did you get that ROM?
i had speaker replaced in warranty....
so the service updated my phone to KA1
i noticed changes only copy/paste and chevron not working anymore...
i found no other changes yet...
still only DHCP no fixed ip...
no camera settings save
maybe battery is better
no user ringtones...
so not much new...

if you have this build 7.0.7355.0,you have also integrate Nodo(copy\past and other)
Lucky you then (unless you relied on Chevron, in which case, poor you)!
Do you use Bluetooth at all? I'm having major issues with my Bluetooth and I'm hoping the update will fix it.
If you have used it did it work properly for you previously, and if it didn't, does it work now?
Sorry to hijack the thread a bit .
i haven't used bluetooth before but will try it tomorrow...
i used chevron to test my own programs and use it...
no other way as i can't get developer acc. in my country...
oh and no multitasking...or i can't find it...as seen on videos

That sucks. Multitasking will be coming later this year, I don't think it was supposed to be a part of NoDo.
OMG no fixed IP... That sucks for me
yeah overall the wp7 is 10000x better than wm6.5
but to "forget" fixed ip??? wtf
like forgeting to include sms on phone..
otherwise it's the best os ever...after few updates it will be in universe..

How is third party app performance? Hoping this firmware will show up on the interwebs very soon then!

Are you folks referring to fixed WIFI IP address? If so, the DVP has a option to set static IP address using the EM tool. I am sure other devices should have it as part of the Engineering menu somewhere.

Do you really think that Microsoft cares what you expected?.. They have a huge issue with app security and side-loading (read - the money issue ). Copy/paste feature it's just a little candy for naive enthusiasts...

Dell Venue Pro
Is it possible to dump your Rom and make it available for everybody ?
I wonder if they fixed the spratic keyboard responce problems. Still, its pretty disapointing that it has taken them five months to add a feature already implimented in the original OS. Looks like we will be having to do everything ourselves like in iOS.

Simple Restart Application

I own a TMobile hTC HD7 and I have been waiting patiently for a "Restart/Soft Reset" Application to hit the Marketplace. I am actually quite surprised that not more people are interested in a simple app like that. There are countless times when my phone will start acting up or not loading applications properly, so I am constantly restarting my phone. A soft reset app would be a great addition to my phone app collection. This is more of a request as opposed to a rant. While I'm not as talented as some of the developers here, but I am quite sure that a simple restart application wouldn't be insanely hard to develop. Is there anyone out there that is willing to help me out? Or anyone else who thinks this would be a good idea? Or am I alone in this? Lol
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
yeah Me too.. I agree with you.. I hope someone will make a restart software or a task manager software...
Well its nice to know that I wasn't the only one who would like to see a Soft Reset Application with the Windows Phone 7 theme and feel as the UI. I hope someone amazing comes across this thread and makes this a reality.

Does it actually need a UI? Wouldn't a tile pinned to start do just fine? I mean, what would be included in the UI apart from a "reboot" button?
Well i guess it wouldn't need some crazy elaborate UI.... Just an icon nice enough to put on my home page.

Has a skilled developer heard my plea? And is willing to develop this totally useful application?

I personally don't see a need for such an app but I'll knock something together over the weekend. So basically just an icon you place on your home screen that, when pressed, reboots your phone? right?
Yes something along those lines.... Obviously something that kinda fits the whole Windows Phone 7 Metro Theme... But the reason why I thought a UI would be necessary... Would be a Settings page... To have the icon that is placed on the homeacreen able to do different functions that each user could specify on their own. But definitely a way to simply Restart the phone...
Sent from Projekt hTC HD7
And yea man.. Thanks a lot for attempting this.... Like I have stated before... I am not a developer myself otherwise I would've made something like this a while ago... But I am quite sure that this wouldn't be an insanely difficult task.... But regardless your efforts are well appreciated... Looking forward to seeing this evolve.

Well, that just confused me again
Either you want a tile which will reboot your phone (for which I personally see no use - as it's easy enough to just press the power button for 2 seconds) or you want ... err, well ... something completely different
In any case, I've written an app that will do just this - clicking it will ask you if you want to reboot or shutdown the device. No bells or whistles - this is all it does. Will have to tidy up the code a bit, but I'll get it attached here later tonight or tomorrow.

You'd be surprised
There are no APIs available for this so I've had to write native code to get it working - which means it will never be available in the marketplace and will only run on developer-unlocked devices.
Yes, this will be a handy tool. Another added feature I've missed on WP7. This & a screen capture app are all I'm really missing, app-wise that is.
O man.. That kinda sucks for me... I don't have a unlocked device... Mine is Tmobile hTC HD7... but whatever then... I'm glad someone out there tried.. And allowed others to benefit from it... Thanks

Hi all have used the DLL Import work here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006331
To create a simple restarter. Click the app and restart your phone. As it uses the native API's it can't be put on the marketplace but for anyone with a dev unlocked phone simple deploy the XAP and all is good.
