[XAP] BlueManager (previous name BluePhoto Beta) - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

Hi all,
this is an application to transfer photo from your WP7 phone to a remote device or to receive photo from outside using OBEX OPP rules over Bluetooth.
It requires unlock device and it is based on DLLImport project.
At this stage application has been tested with photo exchange to a normal PC without problem.
Also receive photo from another phone (tested with Android and Symbian) seems to be ok.
Sending photo from WP7 to another phone seems to have some problems, but I've only tested it with an old 2.3.3 Android device and it is not enough to understand the real behaviour. I'd like to test with an ICS Android phone and/or Symbian to verify the functionality...
BluePhoto application is a photo viewer.
When you start the application you'll be ready to receive photo from external device.
You can also select a photo and decide to send it to a paired remote device.
To do that you have to choose remote device from paired bluetooth device list.
Attached images shows all the available commands.
Ciao
P.S1: remote devices have to be previously paired before exchanging file with your device.
P.S2: BluePhoto can handle files only when it is in foreground due to WP7 rules.
P.S3: photo are loaded and saved from Picture Hub.
P.S4: BluePhoto extends Photo Share contracts to be available directly from "Share" menu item of a picture.
Thanks to:

Thanks for this application. I installed it on my dev unlocked Lumia 800. Here is what I found out so far:
Lumia 800 -> Android 2.3: won't work
Android 2.3 -> Lumia 800: won't work
(both times without any errors)
Lumia 800 -> Windows 8 (default Bluetooth stack): works fine, although the application reports "Error -2"
Windows 8 (default Bluetooth stack) -> Lumia 800: won't work, doesn't initiate a connection to the device
How to get it working (you don't need to pair the device):
1. Click on send file in Windows, a Windows will appear with nearby Bluetooth devices, yours won't show up
2. Navigate to the Bluetooth settings on your phone, your phone will now appear in the Device-Window on Windows 8. Wait until you see its name and select it. Uncheck secured connection
3. Click continue and select a file. Don't click send yet
4. Navigate back to BluePhoto
5. Click send on Windows 8
Nokia 6230 -> Lumia 800: works
The 6230 did not discover the Lumia, I had to go its Bluetooth settings and wait for it to show up in the 6230s list. The I switched back to BluePhoto and the transmission worked like a charm.
Lumia 800 -> Nokia 6230: works, although it finished again with "Error -2"
General feedback:
- The text is yellow. Would be better if the text is standard white (or black for white backgrounds)
- The icons on the buttons look a bit pixelated. Did you use the standard ones? You can open up blend to get a list of the icons that are delivered with the Windows Phone SDK. Also there are icons available here: http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/metrostudio
- My screen timed out while sending the file and turned off. Would be cool if auto-standy was disabled by the app.

Thanks for feedback.
With 2.3.3 Android device I know the problem in sending file to Android.
But receiving file (from Android to WP7) should work, my LG Optimus 7 can receive files from 2.3.3 Android device.
In case Win8 -> Lumia 800: PC BT stack say something? On WP7 device appear something?
Yellow text means that application is in server receiving mode.
Other colors are: Red when BT is off or no connection has been started and Green when WP7 is sending file.

Nice idea but not work (HTC Titan and Motorola Xoom ME with Android 3.2.2).

"Not work" is not useful feedback.
Have you tried to send photo from Titan to Android and viceversa?
Have you got some error messages?
Have you tried to transfer photo from WP7 to a PC?
In this phase I need to receive input to understand if there are some problem with specific device or there are some problem in the code.

Ok man, I'm sorry :
Fro Titan to Motorola work good.
From Motorola to Titan work.
I have to restart devic. I have one question where is saved files on WP 7 ? I sent file from Motorola, process worked but I don't see the file in albums.

Ok, I was now able to receive a file from the android device. I paired the device from the Send-File dialog on android and then switched back to BluePhoto on my Lumia and it just worked

Ah ok!
Photo will be saved on Picture Hub but only if they are JPEG.
Otherwise will not be possible to save because Picture Hub support only JPEG file.
You can try to see received photo using Picture Hub or using "reload" menu item on BluePhoto main page.
Thanks for your feedback!

Ok I see the file in MyDocuments on the top (by File Explorer). You can do for save file in photo hub. THX

BluePhoto saves received photo using MediaLibrary api, thus I don't know why you'll see inside in "My Documents" folder...

Do you want movie with my operations ? I sent file from Titan to Motorola and saved he in transfer folder, but when I sent file from Motorola to Titan, file doesn't in Photo Hub and saved in My Documents. I don't know why
BTW I wrote about your app on ma page: http://encyklopediawindowsphone.pl THX

why will this be useful when u have the mms feature already?

Because transfer file over Bluetooth is useful in various situation, instead of using MMS feature.
When I want to exchange photo with others I'd like a pratical way to do that, as Bluetooth data exchange is.
In addition people usually have to pay to send a MMS.

In Android device: you're using default application to exchange file over Bluetooth, or you are using third-party application like "Bluetooth File Transfer"?

User interface is in new graphic
Add GPS position to any image and make a diary of your trip

Different skins available

Great app
yep !!! the best so far
mhhh the beta 6 was better, when i load a picture, i must waiting to see the next picture, its verry buggy on my 6.5
When selecting files and using the action to email. Is there a way to specify which email account that is used to send? Everytime I try to email a file it opens the email program and attaches the files but it defaults to an email account that I do not want to use and I cannot figure out how to change it.
Any suggestions?
I loved the beta because it was fast on my previous phone, but on the HD2 it doesn't use multitouch
Since the Pinch&Zoom messages are known, it would be lovely to enable this on Photo Manager. Multitouch rotation would be nice as well

Let me guess, a phone with the Widcomm Bluetooth stack.. Like the Touch Pro 2.
As for me, this program worked great last night, but I went to load it today to look up where a conference room was at work and it went SLOW AS BALLS. I eventually just killed it and launched 6.33. Sigh..
Very good app! Only issue I have: I can't change the home background. I receive the message that the home background was changed but actually nothing has happened. I still see the old one. I can change the background with the WM standard picture viewer so I doubt it's an issue with my system settings. I'm using HTC Touch Diamond 2 with a custom 6.5.3 ROM.
Its a new version 7.02 out,multitouch support!!!!allready purchased for my hd2!! The best app so far

Updated Registry Editor

I have updated a registry editor (that works with HTC devices) that I found here on xda to work with non-interop unlocked devices (viewing only). If you want to edit entries you will have to add the interop line to the manifest file manually. If you don't know how to do this then look it up .
If the OP of this app has any issue with me doing this please contact me and I will take it down.
I made is so the search bar is hidden by default
Added Icons for folder vs. entry
Added custom splash and icons
Made it so you can use the back button. No more having to click [..]
Interop unlock not needed
Added a few paths that were missing from the old version
Added tilt effect to selected item in the list view. This makes it easier to identify which item you are actually clicking on
Added an exit button to close the application since you might not want to have to hit back a bunch of times.
If you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me
2011-11-17: Added exception handling
bleh, just realized I'm an idiot
I am glad I could be of service
Thank you a lot,great App!
It does not works on my HD2 does anyone tested working on HD2
THX, works fine on htc 7 pro
It does not works on my HD2.
So if this is a registry editor that works on mango htc devices.
Couldn't we interop unlock our HTC devices by just setting the max apps above 300?
I'm upgrading to mango this weekend and I would love to interop unlock my device so I can attempt to get internet sharing working.
With a cdma Sprint Arrive, there is no custom bootloader so interop unlocking is our only shot to get internet sharing working right now

App does not work on VZW HTC Trophy. It tries to launch for a second and then closes. Wonder if this is due to having the HTC updates that came after Mango?
On my fully updated HD7 with 7.10.7720 that is chevon unlocked, this app opens then closes right back. It allows me to see the screen for like half a sec.

What is the FULL version that you are running and what ROM are you using (stock or custom)?
For example my Radar is 7.10.7720.68
Stock 7.10.7720.68 - my phone is in my sig. Thanks
Hmm. I will test it on my sister's HD7 and see if I can debug it. Strange thing is I am not using anything that is specific to the Radar. Thank you for the Full version number. Those last 2 digits do help
There have been issues with some versions of DllImport on HTC Mango phones. The latest one works on my HD7 though. However, this app does not.
7720.68 (Retail build) but none of the HTC updates (so ComRegRW and ComFileRW still work). Speaking of which, I notice you've included them in the XAP - considering that they're useless on most HTC phones, that's not terribly good use of storage.
Love the icon/splash screen though. Also, thank you for not installing in the Settings hub; I actually really am not much of a fan of that.
Can you link me to a dll import file that does work on your device? I can update the code to see if that helps.
1.4 with the custom tile system seems to work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006331. 1.3 didn't work for me, though I don't know why.
Hi,
it's really a nice looking register editor but unfortunately it doesn't work on my hd7, deepshining v3.1, 7.10.7720.68
i'm ready to use it instead of schaps one so...strenght & bravery bro!
Works on my titan. Really neat looking app.
Turns out it must be the NativeLibrary or the DMXMLCOM.dll that are giving people issues.
I just added some exception handling to the xap. Please re-download and try again. Provide me with the exception it throws.

See my signature... Omnia 7 Xda-Devs v3.1 Tango Full-Unlock.
All others app requiered Full-Unlock work fine
Probably one of the key modded from this app isn't present in your rom, I will try to find a solution

Thats because this app is searching for reg tweaks entries that are different in the HD7.
If you remove or change the tweak related with the camera shutter, the app will work just fine on the HD7.
The app runs perfectly on my fully unlocked HD7.
Thanks Nickg. Thumbs up
I confirm that the application works fine on my Omnia 7 with custom ROM
A sugestion for the developer: in App.xaml.cs, there's an event handler that gets called for any unhandled exception. I suggest you put some sode in there like this:
Exception x = e.Exception;
if (!(x is ExitException)) MessageBox.Show(x.ToString());
That way, if an exception gets thrown (even outside of a Try block) you can at least get the Exception info.

Keep pressing the Arrow and go back to the Store
Click the Refresh button
All done

Hello, can you do same thing with Glance Backround
https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/store/apps/glance-background/9wzdncrfhw46#
It is still possible to get it from the Store
Interesting approach, and it really works (the part of installing it). But once I open it, the drop downs are empty, the toggle buttons are all switched off, and if I touch anything, the app crashes.

Glance Background app is useless in W10M and thats why is removed.... not such loss... if your device support pictures on glance screen you can add it via glance settings.. no need for any app..
I only needed to open the Store and go to the list of apps and here I clicked on the arrow to download the app
Sorry it might be a late question, but I have tried your XAP on L1020 running latest Redstone build 14393, but can't deploy xap, gives me the error: WMAppManifest is invalid. Might you know how to fix it?
read the last 2-3 pages of this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...indows-mobile-10-redstone-rs1-build-t3319375/
some guys (including me) tested different things the last days and got it working on redstone without issues

my glance still not working after copying files, setting up registry and reinstall of glance.appx on my Lumia [email protected]
Can I use glance screen on my Lumia 525?? I installed it but it's not opening...
Lumia 535 support Glance out-of-box?
Tried with Lumia 925 with W10 AU, but still Glance crashes
Copying missing files and using latest Interop Tools to enable the Registry entries automatically works on my wife's Lumia 920 with W10M AU. On my Lumia 640 I can't get it to use the old Glance App, but maybe this is due to different hardware not supported by the app? I can't remember if it ever had the old app that shows battery charging icon. But the hack is definitely working on 920 (which had lost Glance when I updated it o AU).
Works on my L925

Works with my L925 (masked under 950) just fine. Used new Interop (which adds all missing par. to reg. in an easy way) add missing dll files and lpm fonts (including old 3.6.1.13 version!) to due (Data\SharedData etc. etc.) folder.
BTW double tap awake, hotspot... all works well. Only problem reported by others and actual with my 925 is panorama mode crash with MS camera but old Lumia Panorama app works just fine.

Works with my L925 (masked under 950) just fine. Used new Interop (which adds all missing par. to reg. in an easy way) add missing dll files and lpm fonts (including old 3.6.1.13 version!) to due (Data\SharedData etc. etc.) folder.
BTW double tap awake, hotspot... all works well. Only problem reported by others and actual with my 925 is panorama mode crash with MS camera but old Lumia Panorama app works just fine.

Yep. Connect Lumia thru USB in mass storage mode and copy.
Interop Tools required to activate mass storage mode. 4 or 5 dll files and 3-4 folders. There is a zip file somewhere on this forum as I remember or maybe got it from Windowscentral forum.
Only thing is that had to download some. First zip did not work as was incomplete - one dll was missed. Maybe depends on OS and Glance version as well.
But once installed it works - since that OS got updated several times, and glance still works. :good:
I have similar problem on my phone the model is lumia 830

Interesting approach, and it really works (the part of installing it). But once I open it, the drop downs are empty, the toggle buttons are all switched off, and if I touch anything, the app crashes.

I wish the original glance screen app(which on installing is placed under extras) works. Kindly suggest a way for it.
And the glance background app although it gets installed,on clicking the message appears"failed to initialize Glance". The glance screen app on touching keeps on crashing☹ and as mentioned above dropdowns are empty,toggle switch is off..
Kindly guide me.

Remote Control W10M

Hi,
Is there any app to remote control a W10M device ??
On Android devices and W8/10 desktops I use TeamViewer and I like it much, however, the W10M version allows me to control another device from the phone but not to control the phone from another device...
What I want is to be able to control a Lumia 650 from a Windows PC. Any utility for that ?? Any way to RDP into W10M ??
Thanks in advance,
Manuel
[ I'm new to W10Mobile (Today!), I've done a search but not found anything about it... ]
nope sorry,isnt possible. no app has enough permissions (or is able to get enough) to do that. dunno if it was possible in the past with the project my screen app (via usb) to make inputs, but that feature isnt implemented in win 10 mobile (was only available in 8(.1)) either way (only screen sharing via miracast is possible with 10 mobile, or continuum)
Thanks for your answer. I suspected it but had some hope...
This is a real drawback, no way to give remote support to users !!
iOS and Android both work really well with TeamViewer..
W10M supposedly has Universal app, but the remote control is just one way... and I need just the other !!
Thanks, Regards,
for such things there a no api, should be possible for a dev to make a "look"on the device possible, but only within that one app. and thats useless, everything else would need deep system access/integration. and that is just not possible (and somehow against ms' safety concept of windows 10 mobile)
call me old fashioned, but i find it useless either way. anyone who needs "remote support" for his phone shouldnt be allowed to have a smartphone or using the internet at all (yes im voting for a "internet driving license", but sadly that system doesnt work on the street at all too...)
hehe... please don't give such ideas... Internet driving license... plus taxes, of course !!
Actually I have lots of that kind of users to support... That's why I need a remote tool !
Once resigned to not having it... MS concept of "safety" seems too different on Desktop than on mobile. WDesktop has RDP tightly integrated (That was my last hope on mobile, to have sth simmilar, but no luck... ) and lots of apps to remote control... Including the W10M version of TeamViewer, that allows you to control a Windows Desktop, and even a Windows Server !!)
It's only me, or... seems weird?
There is a app named "Teamviewer Quicksupport preview" which can be used for remotely control w10 mobile.but it's only available for Redstone user..
Redstone mean insider fast ring?
You can also remote control your device using device portal in developer settings of your Windows 10M. To use it from your phone, go to "127.0.0.1" in your browser. From other device through common Wi-Fi or hotspot connection, your phone's ip address as the link in browser of android device.
(this has some cool stuffs to use).
