[Q] Changing the App name

I have completed making a very simple app but now saw that the same name is there on the marketplace. Can anyone tell me, how do I change the app name?
I made the app using appmakr, I know I can simply change it from there but that's too simple. It doesn't get me to learn anything at all.

The app name is in the WMAppManifest.xml file. There are a few elements called "Title" that should be changes (I think one is for the app list, one for the pinned tile; I forget which is which so change them both). This file is located in the root of the XAP. XAP files are just renamed ZIP files; you can use any archiving tool (including Windows Explorer if you rename the file, though I prefer to use 7-Zip) to open it up and edit the contents.

After I make the changes and put back in the xap and then deploy, it says invalid xap.
Any idea?
Thanks for your explaination.

[MOD] Enable Desktop Gadgets in RTM

It appears that there is already a better functioning sidebar hack made by someone else. Please disregard the files attached to this post and use the contents of the link.
http://www.win2008r2workstation.com/win2008r2/sidebar
I will post a detailed guide when I get time. There are some limitations, but most stuff works. I will polish the system up a bit.
Quick guide:
Copy the sidebar files to c:\program files\windows sidebar
download the supporting files.
run the batch file as administrator
run the reg file
Feel free to mirror/repost/steal credit/do whatever you want.

If you don't mind, can you tell me how well it works for you?

I confirm this works quite fine
Win8 Enterprise.
EDIT: Got some problems displaying custom gadgets...

The easiest way of gaining access would be disabling User Account Control. You can do this using the slide in User Account or by changing this registry key:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system\EnableLUA
Change the value to 0.

i can t create the folder windows sidebar
i moved it in program files but it disappears

[new] how to share apps ( xap, appx) to another phone in windows 10 mobile

Hiiiiiiiiii Ya
I AM Fi1ite WITH A NEW TRICK
THIS IS MY FIRST POST ON WINDOWS 10 MOBILE
AND
THE SECOND ON XDA FORUM
THIS TUTORIAL TEACHES YOU HOW TO SHARE YOUR APPS FROM YOUR WINDOWS 10 MOBILE TO ANOTHER WINDOWS 10 MOBILE INSTANTLY JUST LIKE SHARE IT APP IN ANDROID BUT A LITTLE HARDER.
GONNA TEACH THIS IN TWO PARTS.
1. SHARING (THE APP FROM YOUR PHONE)
2. CARING (INSTALLING IT ON RECEIVER's PHONE)
TUTORIALS:
SET UP: :highfive:
In both the Phones turn on developer mode
SETTINGS->.UPDATE & SECURITY->FOR DEVELOPERS->DEVELOPER MODE->Yes
Using file manager in windows phone 10:
Extract Dependencies_ARM.zip (attached to this post) to both sender's and receiver's phone
Install All the extracted apps to both sender's and receiver's phone
Install InteropTools App (attached to this post) to both sender's and receiver's phone
Install AppDataManage tool (attached to this post) to both sender's and receiver's phone
Install WinZip Universal to both sender's and receiver's phone using windows store
After Success full Installation in both devices:
SHARING PART:
Open AppDataManage tool in sender's phone
Navigate to Settings.Turn on Show advance options.Back to main menu.Navigate to Apps.Tap on any app to share .Press Create Archive from installation path.Save the zip file as App.zip
Let the process complete. Chilllzzz :angel::angel::angel:
Exit the app.
Tap the zip using file manager (it will automatically open the zip with WinZip Universal). Tap the folder Shown
Check for AppxManifest.xml File
-If it exists then The App is Share Able.
-If it does not exist. The App is non share able. Possibly look for another App to share.
If AppxManifest.xml exist then: :good:
Look For Something like AppxSignature File (AppSignature or AppxSignature or AppsSignature ). If it exist then delete it using long press menu.
Save the zip file using the toolbar in Winzip Universal. Share The Zip file using bluetooth to the Receiver's phone. YAY!!! :laugh::laugh:
You Can Share This To Multiple Phones. OOOOHOOOO!! :laugh::laugh:
INSTALLING IT ON RECEIVER's PHONE:
Tap the zip file (located in downloads folder) in receiver's phone using its file manager and extract its contents to the same folder.
Open Interop Tools in Her Phone (Receiver's phone).
Select "This Device" . Navigate to Application Manager. Tap on developer mode.
Swipe to Register a package. Browse to the extracted contents. Locate The AppxManifest.xml. Select it.
Press Register Package. Wait for it to finish registering.
YEPPI !!!!!!!!
Puff!!!! You Have Successfully Created a backup of your app as well as shared it too
Thanks Alot To Them Whose Apps I have Used.

Dude,
I have few question about windows 10 phone.
1. How can install xap from windows (not PC)
2. Can I access C: drive (like PC)
.
.
.
Finally I can't post anything in Xda (I'm new user). Send icon isn't working on "xda lab" app.

look, only "patched" xap files can install, and ONLY via PC with XAP deploy method...

So is there anyway to get "Client for Hangouts" back? Microsoft removed it from the store, but I still have it installed on my old Lumia 530 and I want to install it on my newer 1520. This won't work?

Code:
Google shut down all their Hangouts APIs so this app and others like it are dead.
sorry no luck... you can have app but is worthless and not working

Hmm... Looks Like There is a Bug in The Backup Tool.. No Problem .. Its the Men Who Makes Faults And its The Buggy Apps Which Create Problems... However The Dev Worked Hard For His Tool and I do Respect Him...
Here's The Solution For YOUR PROBLEM It Works For All Apps Whether Paid Or Free.
1. Get Full FileSystem Access On Your Phone [Pls Browse The Xda For That ]
2. Uninstall The Backup Tool.
2. Connect Your Phone To PC
3. Using Explorer Go to C:\Data\Programs\WindowsApps And Search For Folder With Partial App Name And Make Backups Of Your Apps.. [You Might Get many folders with similar name in that case See The Size Mb of the folders and take the one which seems appropriate to you]
4. Rest Part You Know.. [About deleting The AppxSignature File and Sharing]
I HOPE THIS HELPS.... I KNOW YOU WILL NOT EVEN THANK ME FOR THIS ...

Hehehehehahahahahaha .. You are soo childish ... You don't have any knowledge about paid apps in Microsoft store... Please Use You Brain if you have one ... if you don't Then read this and understand why my post is not a piracy...
Paid apps does not works rather they crashes as they looks out for a online license file in the device which can only be achieved when an app is bought... That's the reason Latest Version of Minecraft PE doesn't works [Try it!!] ..... Though I ve hacked Minecraft as there are other ways to do it... but I wont share them as Its against The forum Rules.. :angel: :angel:

how to export an app (.xap) from windows 10 mobile ?

i want to export the functioning version of lumia camera as i have just reset my phone and disabled auto updates. i will then share the .xap file for everyone to use. is it possible to do so using interop tools ?
also is there a registry key that can be modified to prevent lumia camera app from auto updating ? thanks in advance

yep, no one did it before , meaning upload Nokia/Lumia camera :/

Deployed xaps cant be updated. So you need to copy the install folder inside data/programs/camera app, erase WMAppPRHeader.xml, zip the content, change zip to xap extension and .... voila.

Turn the full system access via interop tools, restart phone, then plug your phone to PC. There you can access it thru windows explorer.

Only xaps in data/programs. In C:/Data/Programs/WindowsAPPS/ are appx, but i dont know how to repack.

How to delete apps manually ?

Greetings,
I've a problem un-installing Telegram, so, i've installed interop tools and unlocked system files hoping that i can delete telegram manually but i couldn't.
So, can any one help me with this ? locating "Telegram/any" app files manually and delete them ?!

Touch the app and hold. Tap uninstall.
If you never want the app to install automatically during hard reset and it is a preloaded app look under C:\Programs\Commonfiles\xaps and delete the desired appx or xap file out of there.
Or depending on your device type check C:\Programs\Commonfiles\OEM\Public\PreloadedApps\tier3apps\ for other xaps and appx files you do not want provisioned to your phone. I recommend backing them up before you remove any of them though.
Edit: All the currently installed apps are found in C:\Data\Programs

Did you turned on the "Full Filesystem Access" inside the Interop Tools?
About the folder names are with numbers, I suggest you to use this app: https://forum.xda-developers.com/wi...-apps-data-manager-windows-10-mobile-t3523048
