Develop Bugs

Question

I am new user of Window mobile and recently got Xperia. I have a question that how to install these cab files. I mean to say for some software i have exe/ cab files which i run and progrm are installed. But i downloaded alot of applications from this website and when i unzip them i can only found files with extension .001 / .002 / .003 , so how they are installed?
thanks Jade

For getting the original file you must rejoin them as they're parts of it. The .001, 002, 00x parts can be joined back with this (HJSplit 2.4)free software.
Joy!

Don't extract .cab files, but just copy them to your pda and execute (find them with explorer and tap) from there. Then it will ask you where to install, to the device or storage card.
BTW, have you seen/searched for this? It might help you .....

Zip & Rar File Management In Mango???

would it be possible now with mango for someone to make a app called Zip Manager or something that lets u d/l Zip and/or Rar files to that app and the zip files are only accessible within that app to open documents and other files contained in them and manage them in that app?
same with mp3 or other files be able to manage them in that app only?
the Free Music app made me think of that... we cant d/l mp3s through the browser and add to the device library but we can manage the mp3s we download through that app and with the paid version we can sync the files over
could something similiar to this be made to manage zip and rar files????

Due to the sandbox nature of WP7, you can't access the local file system. Also I don't think 1 app can open another app. So for example, you couldn't unzip a PDF and then call Adobe Reader to view it.
One way around this would be for your zip / rar app to download the file, un-compress and then upload it to a folder on skydrive. Then it would be there ready to open and use. I'm pretty sure I read that WP7 can already open zip files, so maybe you can already do this through the browser? What are you trying to download exactly??

an other good idea is too contact htc samsung lg or dell to make a app for bluetooth in and outbox and zip app all in one

[Q] How to call the default launching app?

Hi,
I looked all over XDA and googled it, and found nothing.
Does anyone know how to call the default launching app of a file?
Basically, I want to download a file, DOC for example, and run it with the default launching program, Office.
Is it possible? if so, how?
Thanks,
Lidan.

hay
you cant associate a file type with another program
If you click on a doc file with IE9, Office will automatically open and show you the doc file. And you CANT save it on your mobile device

Hi,
I don't need to associate file type with another program.
All I need is to download a file (with WebClient or any other way) and launch it.
Now, I understand you can do it with IE. I don't want to do it this way.
I think I better mention that I'm developing an homebrew that must run on interop-unlocked device.
For example, file explorers do that, when you double click a DOC or PDF file the proper app will automatically launched.
Thank you for your answer.
Still looking for solution.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
When you say passing the file to IE9 you mean the http link to the file or somehow the actual file?
If it's possible to pass the actual file somehow then I'm good

Manual backup of XAPs, Favorites. Download RAR, Cab, 7z files. Full ZIP files

Hi everyone,
I'm posting a method today which i use to backup my XAP files and favorites. I hope that they will help others too and I'm posting some other tips too which i gathered around from the web and XDA. I will be constantly updating this post.
Most of the tips I've provided here are only for Fully Unlocked Phones
Backup .XAP files downloaded from Zune Marketplace
Access your phone's files using any File manager FileBrowser by ego zheng, Unique File Manager by Mohsen Unique Or TouchXplorer by julien Schapman.
Both FileBrowser and Unique file manager can open XAP files but TouchXplorer will throw an exception.
Open FileBrowser and Goto /My documents/Zune/PimentoCache/Lib/
There should be numerically named folders containing cached XAP files but with .ZMZ extension which will look like this
app0b792c7c-14dc-df11-a844.zmz Copy those files to another folder and rename the extension ZMZ to XAP. You should keep in mind that PimentoCache folder gets cleared after every few days. So you have to copy those files as soon as you've downloaded from the marketplace.
You MUST have XAPdeployer by Ultrashot installed for the following trick to work.
If you want to open ZMZ files in the FileBrowser to see which ones you are copying or renaming. Launch Registry Editor by Julien Schapman open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT create a new key .ZMZ open .ZMZ and create a new String value "Default" enter "xapdeployerfile" in the value and tap OK. Now you can open ZMZ files in the file browser.
Backup XAP files downloaded with Bazaar App
Using Phone's file manager Or Windows Explorer on computer Goto
Application\Data\9daf0fc-a0ee-4cfc-905a-cc812d678a35\Data\IsolatedStorage
all homebrew XAPs downloaded from Bazaar will be in this folder.
Backup XAP files downloaded with wPhoManager
If you download files with wPhoManager from W.I.N.C.O marketplace all the XAPs downloaded will be in
Applications\Data\8A011F29-D5A3-4942-B865-71198AAB94AE\Data\IsolatedStorage
Screen Goes Blank during Incoming/Outgoing calls
I had this problem sometime ago when my HD7 fell real hard and started giving these problems. So I searched the web and found this solution from some website. If you are having problems (Blank screen and inaccessible phone) while incoming/outgoing calls it has to do with the proximity sensor. It goes out of alignment and that results in the black screen during the call. While the call is active, since the screen is essentially turned off by the proximity sensor, I can’t use the keypad or even hang up the call!
The fix is to press down hard on the area where the proximity sensor is. It’s located at the top of the screen – pretty much where the HTC logo is. Just press hard on that area and that should move the sensor back into place.
Backup Internet explorer's Favorites
Browse to /Windows/Favourites and copy all the content to a folder of your choice. Put them back in after you've reset your phone or installed a new firmware. You can also use IE fav Backup by Sh4d0w86 that's also a pretty good app for doing this task.
Saved Office mobile files OR copy Documents from computer to phone
All your Word, Excel, Powerpoint files you saved on your phone are stored in My documents. If you have files in your computer and you want them on your phone. Just copy all those to My documents and they will be in your files list.
Record incoming/outgoing calls complete with environmental effects
This trick does not even need any sort of unlock. Call any number on speaker and press the camera button Switch to Video Recording mode and tap Record. Your call will be recorded in a video use VirtualDub(or any other audio extraction software) to extract the audio and Audacity to reduce environmental effects if there are any.
ZIP files
By default downloaded ZIP file's content (Which can open by default in Windows Phone 7)is in Applications/Volatile/ZipView/(This folder gets deleted when you close the ZIP file, So you have to keep the ZIP file open until you've copied). but the limitation is that you have to open each file individually. But if you want to download the complete file without any content limitation. Do the following method :-
»Open your file manager on your phone OR windows explorer on PC.
»Goto \Windows\Profiles\Guest\Temporary Internet Files\
»There should be folders with names like 9FADAF33, Q110E4PZ, U0GWIYEF and U2QKY63D(exact names can differ)
»Your downloaded ZIP file will be in one of these four folders.
»Copy/Paste downloaded ZIP file to another location where you keep your files.
This method is helpful if you are downloading ZIP files which contains DLLs, EXE or any other format files which WP7 cannot open.
Download WinRar, CAB, 7Z files
Windows phone 7 does not recognize these file types so it will not download these files if you want to. With the following tip you can download these files to your phone.
»Start your phone's Registry Editor and tap HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
»Create three new keys .Rar, .cab, .7z
»Open each key and create String "Default" with "Zipfile" as a value
»Now you can download Winrar, 7Zip, and CAB files in Internet Explorer.
If any of the above tips helps u out a little please hit thanx or reply if you have any question or suggestion.

I will add shortly:
xap handler = new registry key HKCR/.zmz and string value: Default -xapfile
unique file manager extract zipfile

Download WinRar, CAB, 7Z files
Windows phone 7 does not recognize these file types so it will not download these files if you want to. With the following tip you can download these files to your phone.
»Start your phone's Registry Editor and tap HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
»Create three new keys .Rar, .cab, .7z

Thanks for the valuable info.
Great job
It did and did not work
The rar file can be downloaded, but wp7 cannot read it or recognize it, it shows corrupted file or unreadable file by the system.
It seems we need rar code to be native so we will be to open rar files.

The reason why i posted that registry key wasn't to open RAR files but to download them on your phone so you can copy that file to your computer. Because sometimes the content you wanna download is in RAR format.

I see.
But I hope we can:
Open rar file and extract content like PDF, media file, etc.
I really need 2 task:
Open PDF file within the browser.
Can print the PDF over wireless printer.
they are not accomplished missions yet

i hope too but WP7 is closed like a fort, it's not developer friendly and it's really hard and time consuming to do modifications or add new features. You can put some minor things here and there but nothing too big.

Hello!
I copied and moved some .zmz file in my pc.
I renamed them in .xap and tried to deploy them into my HTC 7 Pro with Dynamics 1.21 ROM.
I tried with WPH Xap Deployer, wf Phone Tools and Phone7Deployer, but I only got errors (failed to open the manifest file. This may not be a valid xap).
I suppose this should be related to app encription...
So now, also without Reinstaller working, if we make whatever can delete the apps from the phone, we will have to pass through the marketplace, with app list opened on Zune on our pc... :crying:
Otherwise, a way could be:
1) to know an app's guid, i.e. with cache clearer
2) use a storage explorer on pc, like windows phone device manager and go to
application/Install/(application guid);
3) copy that folder into pc
4) right click on the folder to create a zip file
5) change the extension of the zip file to xap (you can do it at the end, there
some softwares for file renaming...)
A long way if you have some tenth apps installed...

You are right about apps encryption. Microsoft recently encrypted all their XAPs on marketplace.

Nonetheless, if we've got encrypted XAPs specific to our devices, we ought to be able to install them on the device somehow from within the device. We'd just need to initiate the install routine. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

What I am interested in, is a way to take my games save states and back them up. I'm sick of restarting Angery Birds every time I flash my phone. lol Rest of this is super interesting stuff though.

Did you try to look into the Angry Birds folders in your device if it saves something,
for example using FileBrowser (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544399) or Webserver from GoodDayToDie?
If there's something there, you should be able to copy your states in your pc and put them back in your device, I think...

You can use Program Manager by ego Zheng to backup your angry birds settings. You just have to put your saved settings in your angry birds folder after you've flashed.

Here's the link to program manager

[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.
Special Thanks To:
gus3300 - Interop tools
Mahdi Ghiasi - App data manager
Microsoft - Dependencies ARM

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?

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 ...

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!!] .....
