[HOW TO] Get any OEM's Apps direct from the Marketplace on your Phone

WARNING! If you change your OEM too many times you will break the DRM and have to reset your phone to download/use apps from the Marketplace. Use at your own risk.
Ok so I was playing around with my registry on my Focus and I found if I changed the following key:
Code:
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\OemName
from SAMSUNG to either HTC or LG, in the Marketplace it changes from Samsung Zone to the other OEM's app repositories.
Also if you put in something like MICROSOFT it removes any OEM repository.
I also attempted to change the MOName from "AT&T Wireless" to "Microsoft" in order to get rid of AT&T's branding in the Marketplace but I couldn't get it to change. I think it might be linked to the SIM card. If anyone has any ideas please let me know as I hate with a passion carrier branding.
Valid OemName Strings (case sensitive):
SAMSUNG
HTC
LG

Works great with my Focus. Ive downloaded the HTC sound enhancer and works great so far. I also downloaded the Piano app on the LG store and it works perfectly as well.

Hi i'm new at this and i wanna know step by step how to change that registry key hope you could help me

For LG Optimus 7 users, a restart is required.

Now Zune finds the update 7392 for my Omnia 7. But I guess it's better to wait for the fixed Omnia Nodo, right?

hey guys, i cant find any location as "HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\OemName"

When is now? After you changed it to HTC/LG? If you did, it's indeed better to wait for the official re-release.

Hello guys !
Im working with a HTC Mozart, T-Mobile GER Version 7932 with Chevron Unlock
With Julien Schapmans Registry Editor beta 1.1.0.0 i got the message "Acess to HKLM/System is restricted", and there is no "Platform" Folder inside.
I can find a "Platform" folder ind the HKLM Folder, but the acess is restricted too and there is just a "Default" string inside...
Any suggestions ?^^

Does indeed work fine on my LG Quantum but a lot of the HTC apps(Hub, Notes, Converter) would download but not run. The only ones I was able to run successfully were Attentive Phone and Sound Enhancer. Anyone else have better luck?

The registry editor you are using might not have full permissions to "view" like LG's MFG tool or Heathcliff's Root Tool's for the Samsung phones. But you should be able to "write" to any device using some tricks found here.

This is just me but I would NOT update while any of these values are changed, as the updates might be built for specific devices/OEM's and I would hate to see you brick your phone.

Some apps require OEM specific dll's and they will not run, and some do a check to make sure it is a valid device, this might be able to be fixed via some more registry tweaks.

@samsung users..
take this tool:
http://dotconn.de/main/news/homebrew-wp-root-tools-0-3-alpha/

Here are some XAP's to deploy provxml's to the device for those of you with an HTC device since we don't have access to that registry path. You can use schap's Advanced Config to provision the files once deployed.

Chrism583, do the two HTC apps you downloaded work on the LG? Wondering if they require specific hardware.
Just tried attentive phone and it wouldn't keep any of the checks/settings I set. I guess it doesn't work on the LG.
edit: just tried sound enhancer and same thing.

probably same as on LGs. these apps are hardware specific and either need extra registry settings or system files to work. or the specific calls to the hardware simply don't exist on our phones.

Thats it? ONE REGISTRY KEY??? Amazing!
oh, and Samsung focus (at&t), I downloaded the LG guitar learning app and it totally restarted my device... maybe it's just me. LG piano app works perfectly however not much else does. Oh, and changing your OEM to Dell doesn't give u dell app store (maybe we have someone with a DVP who has registry access and can check what their key says).

Actually DVP owners don't even need registry access. All we need is for them to go to 'Settings' -> 'About' -> 'Model: XXXX XXXX'
The 'Model' is actually two keys, the first set of X's are the 'OemName' key the second set are either the 'MODeviceName' or 'OEMDeviceName' key, I'm not sure which as both on mine read the same 'SGH-i917' however if I had to guess I would bet it's 'OEMDeviceName'
On a side note, does Dell even have an OEM repository?
Edit: I just tried 'NOKIA' for the fun of it... nothing. Wishful thinking

[MOD] reg edit to get higher resolution so metro apps will work

When I first installed windows 8 I was really confused with all the metro app icons, when i clicked on them nothing happened. I started thinking they were fake and were placed there for looks. I searched all over the place and found that if your resolution is not high enough the apps wont load.
so, here is a regedit i found a long time ago to activate 1024x768 and 1152x864. seems like 1024x768 is the lowest resolution that is needed for metro apps to work.
1) Run regedit
reg edit can be found in the windows folder
2) highlight the higest tree level (Computer)
3) Search for “Display1_DownScalingSupported” and changed it from “0″ to “1″
3b)some have reported that there may be more then one entry that needs to be changed so make sure to search the entire registry
4) Restart the system
5) Enjoy the two new resolutions: 1024×768 px and 1152×864
the metro apps will work now.
I'm using a lenovo s10-3t but this should work on many other computers.

I could just change the resolution in the normal Windows 7 way...

Me to but my problem is that I have an eeepc 1000h which supports max 1024x600, what I have to do in this case...

I have a Acer netbook and have the same problem. I did try the apps with an external monitor which worked fine.

You have to hack the registry to enable a higer resolution, I created a reg file for you, download it, double click on reg file, click yes and restart, now check your resolution settings.If this dosen't work try this:In regedit search with ctrl+f for Display1_DownScalingSupported and change the value from 0 to 1 and keep searching until you reach at the end of registry because are 4 or 7 with "Display1_DownScalingSupported" name, restart and check your resolution settings.
All the best

yes you can change it that way, but for me and many others the max will be 1024x600 and we won't be able to go anyhigher with out the regedit. So after the regedit those 2 higher resolution options will be available. then we will be able switch to them "in the normal windows 7 way."
I think this problem is prominent on smaller laptops or netbooks that have10in screens or smaller.

hi,i have lenovo S10-3t too,,,when i have a resolution higher than 1024x600,metro apps working,,,but on original resolution 1024x600 non working,,,is it possible that metro apps will working on this original resolution ?thankx

They wont work on the original resolution, from what I have read. Maybe in the beta release or the final they will support a lower resolution. But as of right now this is the only way.

What kind of computer did u install it on?

I installed the reg file and restarted but the highest resolution I can select is still 1024 by 600. I am doing this on an ideapad s10-2. I opened reg editor and found display1...it had a value of 1.Is there anything else I can try?

Yes I restarted. I did ctrl+f and searched for Display1_DownScalingSupported. It only gave me one result. When you say search the entire registry is that what you mean?

Worked perfect on my acer aspire one zg5. After I finally got the display drivers to install.
Installed reg file from this thread. Didnt do the trick. Searched registry and found 3 more, changed to 1, rebooted and bam extra screen resolutions.
If anybodys having problems installing drivers for acer AOA150(zg5) pm me and Ill link to the proper drivers. Tried a bunch and this one is the only one to work.

After the first result hit again ctrl+F and do another search,change the value and repeat this step until you get a message which says you reached at the end of the registry (something like that).

ok..try this: Uninstall the software and driver of the video and restart, now go in Control Panel>Device Manager and install the driver of your video manually, after this, hack the registry and restart your notebook,check your resolution option.This is all I can do for you

Call recording (Lumia 640/640xl)

Hi!
Is there any way/hack to enable call recording on Lumia 640 (or any other lumia that isn't 950/950xl)? Still no words if Microsoon will implement it in W10M for other devices.

I think it will not come for existing devices ( non w10 flagship devices)

That's really bad if it stays only for flagships. My job depends on calls recording, I guess I'll switch back to Android...

Who cares about your job ?

550 is hardly a flagship and has it (you must manually select Windows Sound Recorder as associated app in system/phone settings!)
Tried writing 0 to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Phone/Settings? You can do that by injecting CustomPFD in the "Preview for developers" app!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lumia-950-xl/general/lumia-950xl-mtp-t3304658
Your phone probably has an easier way!

I need the value of PreferedRecordingApplication , from HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Phone/Settings. Someone with a flagship ?

Microsoft.WindowsSoundRecorder_8wekyb3d8bbwe

no option in system/phone setting?
Have you all keys from HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Phone/Settings?

I need to compare with a flagship registry. Who can post those reg?

Thank you for the suggestion, but setting 0 or 1 in RecordingFeatureDisabled makes no difference.

If only Microsoft would be so logical... I don't think it can be done with a registry trick. Changing TextReplySetting value immediately changes the switch in Settings - System - Phone. Changing recording related values in registry doesn't seem to have any effect. I hope I'm wrong.

Maybe something is needed here too:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CallAndMessagingEnhancement\
I have only BlockingApp and CallOriginApp subkeys there.

If only a Lumia 550/950 user would be so kind to check these keys ...

Well...inside a lumia 550, 950 ffu file mounted we cant find some registry?

Here is another idea: reset the phone, change model name to Lumia 950 and then update Phone & Recorder from Store. Could it work?

No need to reset the phone... will try.

I guess you have tried call recorder apps.

No, will try to mode my phone as 950. Soon.

Glance screen original files from Lumia 820

Hi guys, I am running RS1 on Lumia 820, I did successfully managed to get glance screen back with help of Interop tools and this forum.
However I got glance screen files from lumia 1020 which is running on 1280 x 768, but 820 is only 800x480, so now GS font is bigger, so I am looking for original GS files for lumia 820 to have it nice and smooth.
Thank you in advance
