Download and install WP8.1 apps - Windows 10 Mobile

Hi,
Is it possible to download for example Facebook app on WP8.1 and get the .xap file and then install it on W10M?
If it is possible, how can I get that file?

[Q] Application (install) Shared Library

Hi!
When I try to install this application play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tapptic.rtl.tvi from Google Play, I obtain the following error message : Missing shared library
If I download the apk and I unzip it, I have a lib folder with a subfolder called "armeabi" in which there are

Do you know what can I do in order to solve this issue ?
I suppose that this apk has native library compiled for ARM architecture. I not sure that the Fire TV is arm-based and then, there are probably conflicts.
If it is a free app,try getting a copy from 1mobile or aptoide,appchina,wandoujia,slideme,voga360,etc.
I had that message when trying to install Dolphin Browser (evozi'd) from the Play Store.
Then I tried getting the apk from 1mobile or another place and it installed.

Thanks, I already tried without success.
When I use adbFire, I do not get any message but it need a lot of time, and show a successful message.
But after that, I cannot found the application and it is not in the list of installed applications.

[TWEAK] Install homebrew apps as settings apps

In the WMAppManifest.xml of the app, add HubType="268435456" to the App tag, and deploy the app. See attached images.
You can also pin Extras to Start for quick access.
Really useful for keeping harmful editing stuff out of the way of people who feel the need to use your phone without your permission.
Good find, bud! He-he, someone should try to publish the app with that hack (if store will not block it of course)
Needed to restart phone after deploy to show in settings.
4-5yrs old trick anyway, just keep search on xda even in WP7.8 forum
Djtonka, how to pin to start apps from settings?
remove the HubType="268435456 from manifest file
So why before audio settings had the posibility to pin to start? It was in settings,-extras. before....
it has been redesigned for Win10
Nevermind: if on the last fast ring build cant open any deployed app, modify the wpappmanifest to deploy in HUB. Then the app will work. Happend to me with custom pfd, wptweaker, roottool jailbreak version.
Hi,
Can you please give me an xap file which include HubType="268435456" tag in WMAppManifest.xml of the app. I tried to add but not able to save the xml as it gives some error. If possible, please send me the xap
Thanks

does not work.
1. open the .xap in the archive
2. add HubType = "268435456" in WMAppManifest.xml
3. Close the file, saving changes.
4. copy the .xap into the phone, install, and .... nothing is installed ..
I tried and so
1. Unzip the files in the .xap in folder
2. add HubType = "268435456" in WMAppManifest.xml
3. archived back to zip archive. renamed zip into a .xap. and again nothing ...
assembly 15245. Can already removed the opportunity?

Can anyone provide me the original opera mini.xap from Opera Software?? Or can anyone tell me how to run the ported Opera Mobile 10.xap in Windows 10 Mobile??
if you installed Opera Mini before, now you can reinstall it in Store library (dont use search, just go to apps library and browse there)....
but here is xap file in attachment, just rename zip to xap and deploy

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.

thanks for the reply. i enabled system access via mtp and looked for the installation location of lumia camera app through interop tools. it says its stored in C:/Data/Programs/WindowsAPPS/ however the windows apps folder is empty for me. i tried ticking show hidden files on my pc but still no luck. any ideas ?
Only xaps in data/programs. In C:/Data/Programs/WindowsAPPS/ are appx, but i dont know how to repack.

Question Best way to obtain IPK files for Playstore apps?

What is the best way for me to obtain the IPK files for Playstore apps not rooted? How does the answer to this question change if I root?
Thanks

APK Pure or APK Mirror then ADB install the apk to phone or transfer to phone and just install.

Just to confirm these are the locations on the web you mean
APKMirror - Free APK Downloads - Free and safe Android APK downloads
Free and safe Android APK downloads
www.apkmirror.com
Download APK free online downloader | APKPure.com
Download apk for Android with APKPure APK downloader. NoAds, Faster apk downloads and apk file update speed. Best of all, it's free
apkpure.com
Are both of these going to give me the current version of any app as seen on the PlayStore as a clean safe copy from Google Servers?
What do I do if I want the APK of one of my paid apps?
Just to be clear my intent here is NOT about piracy, but to keep archival copies of my legitimate apps. However, if I need to go to a pirate source to get an APK file I purchased, I would consider this a second choice if there is no want to get my hands on a clean copy of my APK file.
Also, would rooting open any additional options related to obtaining APKs of my legit paid apps?

why don't you just flash nickgapps , open gapps or mindthegapps?
In any case, exploring nickgapps, you can find the PlayStore.zip insidie, it contains "___etc___permissions" and "___priv-app___Phonesky" folders
if you have root copy the content relatively to "/system/etc/permissions" and "/system/priv-app/Phonesky" folder
otherwise you can try to.inatall the apk as a common user app (manually grant all required permissions)

Once I do this, I assume I then download my apps from the modified or alternative Google Play app. Where does nickgapps (etc) put the IPK files in my phone, so that I can collect them?

you don't have to
if you change rom, and you want to re-install gapps just flash them again (if necessary)
if you want to backup locally installed apps, you can use a backup tool (but not all back-up install proprtly from local, some apps needs to be installed via playstore)
I tried to download the apk for "Text Free: Call & Texting App" on both APKPure and APKMirror and neither offer this free app. I would like to save my APK file somehow, but it seems like it is available only on Google Play. Is there some way I can capture the APKs downloaded by Google Play so that I can retain them? If I must root to accomplish this, I will root. (I currently have global stock OOS firmware.)

Installed apps are under /data partition, /apps folder
navigating to that folder with file.manager should allow you to copy them

If you are talking about just extracting the apk from an installed app, did you try Apk Extractor from Play Store?

I used Cx File Explorer to back up some apps on my One Plus 9 Pro. Then I rooted and got Root Explorer to rummage in /data/apps.
I found that when apps are download from Google Play that some apps download two or more apks. Every app downloads a "base.apk" file. Some apps download "split_config.arm64_v8a.apk" and "split_config.xxhdpi.apk". If I backup an app with Cx File Explorer, only the base apk is backed up, not the other essential apks to allow the app to work if installed from the backup. In particular, I noticed this with "Text Free" by Pinger, and several other apps.
I find it clunky to rummage in /data/apps because the folder names are gibberish and I have to hunt for an app's folder to find its pieces. Is there a better app backup utility that will get all the pieces of an app? (And since I am already rooted, I don't care if it requires root or not to work.)

I also tried ApkExtractor on Text Free and find that it also only extracts the Base Apk and not the "split_config" pieces.
Thanks
