[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!

(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).

You can use what I have of my filesystem lib here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861501&page=3

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

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.

Do you think it's possible to create a simple webserver or ftp server with this library?

I didn't write any code to listen on a socket in that library. It shouldn't be too hard for you to write that in there and give it a try.

thank you very very much!
it will be very useful for me!

[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.

[Q] modify the registry with wp7 sdk ?

Need help - How to modify the registry when i'm programming an app?
It seems to be possible because it gives a registry editor (WP7 Root Tools).
Can someone help me?

It - what? MS WP7 SDK or HEATHCLiFF74? SDK don't have tools or APIs to access registry. But native signed code and forum whitehat's app has

ok that mean's that i can't modify the registry?

By "official way" - you can't. It's a "sandbox" concept of WP7 architecture.

wf Phone Tools 0.2 alpha

Hi!!!
I started a small project to install xap and other stuff.. you can find it here!
If anyone wants to try it...
SMS works only with devices supported from SMSBackup (thanks to shinichi_wtn)!
http://wpmanagertool.codeplex.com/
It allows to (in this version)
- Install new application on device
- Update existing application on device
- Show the list of installed applications (only developer installed)
- Launch, Kill and uninstall applications
- Explore isolated storage of applications
- Download files and folders from isolated storage
- Download SMS from device (in combination with smsBackup XAP)
from v.0.2
- Load pdf on adobe reader (need to uninstall the builtin version and reinstall from xap)
- Load office documents on device
- added debug functions
- corrected various bug (install from wrong xap, sms duplicates, ....)
- added resources from AppResLib
- added "copy" and "export" for sms
... and more to come...

In next versions:
- load provisioning xml
- folders?

I may recommend you to use http://resourcelib.codeplex.com/, to extract localized strings and display correct app name instead of @AppResLib.dll,-100

getting error
i found only this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/bb735936.aspx
is this ok???? someone say v3 is v10...
edit: is not... not working.... where to download v10???

I keep getting an error when trying to launch the app. It says that a required assembly "Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.vs Version 10.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache first." When I Binged looking for an answer to this, I found this on the Microsoft MSDN Forums:
I was able to fix this by de-selecting these items in the properties window of my project file.
In the Publish Tab, under Install Mode & Settings, Click the "Prerequisites" button, then only select the Items you need to install.

I downloaded the Microsoft Visual Basic Power Pack 3.0 installer, and that didn't help fix the issue.

@dxdy: I think andreacorti has to fix the Click-to-Install installer, as it's including some prereq's that clients do not have or need, as just having the correct .NET Client Framework is all that should be needed to run the application.

Hi.. the correct framework version is selected (4.0) .
the power pack dll is actually needed, i use a control from that dll..
I included also the power pack in the package and in the requisites.. could you please check if it's working? thanks!!
(the dll with guid {250BEABB-55E8-43bb-AC97-2D95674ECE14} - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Phone Tools\CoreCon\10.0\Bin\ConMan2.dll - is needed and I cannot include in the package.. I think zune or the sdk install it )

Awsome, Looks great, can't wait to get home from work to try this...
Exactly what I have been looking for. Too many different apps to install XAP files and others to do other things.

I do have .NET 4.0 installed on my system (run plenty of other .NET 4.0 software.) I just looked on my system, and I don't have a BIN folder under C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Phone Tools\CoreCon\10.0\. BTW, I do have Zune installed, as well as the Windows Phone 7.1 SDK. I don't know why this file doesn't exist on my system.
Ok, so I tried your updated Click-to-Install and it's now working. Well, the application launches. Do our devices need to be Interop-Unlocked for this to work? My Focus S is just developer unlocked.

thanks for the tip, will add it to the site

Edit: A small XAP 205KB, has been hanging for more than 5 min claiming installing. Tried it with another app, it was done in 5 seconds...
Got it running, it cuts off the bottom of the buttons more than 1/2 way, extending the window does not fix.
Attached image if you want to see what I mean...
I know it's a small bug....but, it's a bug.

Anyplan you might make a regular .exe app? This .application is not working for me. I have .net fw 4 but I can't get this to deploy. Just an unknown file extension.

Thanks for helping me get 'Samsung extra settings' app off my phone. The auto brightness setting would not disable on my Focus. It, Ministry of sound and App Highlights were the three apps it detected that were installed before using your tool.
Again, big thank you!!!

I uploaded also the non click once version,
you can also try to set this parameter (during installation) http://www.netlinq.dk/Teknik/tabid/...cation-signed-with-a-chained-certificate.aspx

Awesome. We did a review of this tool at WPXBOX.
One problem is with the Isolated Storage which always remain blank but if I open it from Advance Tab it displays the PDF file uploaded.
Secondly icons for Homebrew tools aren't displayed properly.
