[Q] Windows Phone File Structure - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

I have a dell venue pro and have no way to view the file structure of it. I was wondering if someone with another phone can dumb a full file structure (mostly of \windows\) and upload it here for me. Thank you!

You should be able to find a dump on here from 7661. Check that out

Compress files

Hello,
I have an idea to make an App, and I have one problem, I have to upload one folder that its content have a lot of files and folders in order to upload to skydrive. I think that it is more easy if I compress the main folder and then upload this compressed file. How Can I compress this folder?
Thanks you

+1 for the idea... I also want a program like winrar which also available in symbian phones.plz any dev note this and develop an app for compressing and decompressing files...
WP will unzip zip files, make the sip, copy to sky drive, open via IE, it will then give you the contents of the zip,, it can't compress files to zip though. Technically there would be little point since docs auto sync to sky drive, and WP doesnt support anything else or file system access, but its doable for unlocked devices I suppose

Hi dazza9075,
Thank you by answer, I had thought that it isn't possible, because I want to compress a folder of other app that her content are a lot of files and folders. So, Do some api exist in order to compress this? Or, Have I upload files and folders one by one?
Thank you again
I think it's completely possible
sombody names Ego zheng,wrote an application. It is program manager.
u can repack your apps,and save apps data in a single .zip file.
i think he can do this
contact him for this idea.

its doable so long as you have interop unlock and WP tools installed and setup
if the Windows Phone SDK is missing Zip functionality (it may be called "DEFLATE" which is the name of the compression algorithm; ZIP is the file format) then there are surely libraries for various compression methods which you could download. Alternatively, if you don't mind using native code homebrew, there are compression libraries (zlib, etc.) that can be compiled to a native DLL, and you could then access them via COM.
i add this to new version of my file manager and now you can compress and decompress file and folders
Hi!
Thanks you by your answer, they have been very useful.
Thanks you
Hi again,
I'm using the lib "SharpZipLib" and I have problems with it. Can you explain how use it? or what is the problema? I probe in a program of pc and it working correctly but in app for my mobile say it crashed when it go to create the file, this is code:
FileStream fsOut = File.Create("Copia.zip"); //here is the problema at this moment
ZipOutputStream zipStream = new ZipOutputStream(fsOut);
zipStream.SetLevel(3);
zipStream.Password = null;
........
It can't create the file.
Thank you again
Generally speaking, Silverlight (which WP7 uses for apps) doesn't even allow normal file access, so you might just be getting a MethodAccessException on File.Create. If not, that still won't work without elevated privileges. The default working directory for a program is it's install directory. For a WP7 app, that's going to be either its install location (\Applications\Install\<GUID>\Install) or the Windows directory where the taskhost.exe file lives (\Windows\). Trying to create a file without specifying full path will crete it relative to the working directory, which in this case means creating it in the working directory directly (no path specified). Since the app can't write to the working directory, you'll get an error from that too.
To get around the permissions error, use the IsolatedStore folder (\Applications\Data\<GUID>\Data\IsolatedStore\) or run the app with full permissions ("Trusted" or root unlocked).

How to extract stock ROM to retrieve certain files

Hello all,
I sold off my note 2 but i miss the ringtones that it had. I want to extract them from the stock ROM and use it in my current device.
I extracted the .tar.md5 file and a few .img files appeared. I tried to extract / view the system.img file but I couldn't. These programs couldn't read the .img files.
What should i do?
You need to convert system.img file to ext4
Then you can mount that on Linux.
Or
Simply request someone to port from device, that will be easy with root explorer.

Thank you for pointing me into the right direction.
I used this Wonderful tool and avoided opening the file in Linux

Android File Transfer Not Working

Android File Transfer isn't working with my Mac after flashing Asylum CM10.2. Have searched the forums and having a difficult time finding a fix. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I would have posted in the Team Asylum's forum but I don't have enough posts to post in the development section.

have you tried another method to make the connection is working? If you have a file explorer, try connecting to your PC via lan. See if you can see your shared drives.
Thanks for the advice! The lan connection worked.

For those of you having problems with AFT I found a solution:
Navigate to settings>storage>menu button>USB computer connection>enable MTP
If that doesn't work then check out this site, there are lots of AFT fixes:http://www.tweaking4all.com/mobile-devices/android-mobile-devices/android-file-transfer/

You can try Android Manager to transfer your files between Android and computer. Android Manager can do this in the same way. It is a management tool that can transfer files between computer and Android phone. You just need to launch it in you computer, and then connect your phone to computer. It will export files from MAC to Android and import files from Android to MAC. Just have a try! It will solve your problem.

Downloaded files won't open on PC

Hello,
I was trying few things:
1. Download sound card drivers to my Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, then copy them to USB memory stick. When i tried to install them on PC I got a message that *.exe file is corrupted.
2. I had a Google document (docx) and I did convert it to a pdf file with android app. I was able to open it normally on android device but unable to do iton PC. Same issue, file corrupted.
My memory stick is FAT32, never had any problems with it.
What tha hell is going on? Pictures and other media files works great while transfering, these I mentioned about not.
Please help!

I think I may know what happend, but didn't try yet. Probably I did remove memo stick without taping "safely remove..." and data wasn't copied right. I don't know about pdf files if they were converted good but drivers works fine now.

[Q] Open .face files on pc

Hello everyone, I would like to know if it's possible to open files with .face extension on a PC with Win or OSX.I tried unsuccessfully with xn viewer.
Try renaming to .zip and use 7Zip , Winzil or WinRar to open the file.

If you use 7Zip, you don't even have to rename it. It's that cool of a program that it'll let you extract anything that is extractable simply by right clicking on it.
Thanks for the tip.I can extract the files but I was hoping to see immediately the animated clock.Maybe one day there will be a program for PC similar to Facer in order to edit faces for the smartwatch.
Someone once mentioned a program that did exactly that. I can't remember what it's called now, but it was some ambitious name for the software.
Watchface-Studio
Thank you for the suggestion LazyT !!.
rename the .face to .zip then you can extract the info reverse step to make back to a .face and install Note make sure to turn off the "Hide extensions for known file type" in Folder view options..
Or use my program
