How to Repack appxbundle and xap files - Windows 10 Mobile

Please tell me how can I repack an appx or xap app?

yes you can . by using makeappx.exe ( included in windows 10 sdk ) for re packaging appx or appxbundle files or repack any patched xap (it means copying installed xap from phone then) first making it a zip file then rename extension of the file to .xap then again deploy it windows phone 8.1 deployment tool to use it ...

Oh! So that's how it works!!
I have seen that some appx files have appx files inside, which is the reason they call appxbundle. Will it be possible to make appxbundle files by using makeappx.exe?
Like suppose I extracted Groove Music.appxbundle which contains appx of arm, x86 and x64. I modified each of them then packed each of them with makeappx.exe. Then what will I do to repack all of them to one appxbundle file? Should i use makeappx.exe on all of them?? Will that work??

yes you can repack appx packages into appxbundle by using this method
There are two ways
By using directory tree or by using mapping file ( i recommend you to use directory tree method once you have makeappx.exe running . you can repack your grove music (moded appx). make a folder (c:\APPX) paste all of your appx in that folder now use this command
MakeAppx bundle /d c:\APPX /p c:\gmusic.appxbundle use this for making any type of appxbundle this method is easy to understand and use
(you can change filepath.appxbundle to gmusic.appxbundle or whatever you what)
on windows 10 makeappx is used for packaging apps for ARM , X86 , AMD64 )
(for education only always support the developers by downloading apps from the app store )

Did everything as above on jaq3.... unfortunately while pie starts and seems to have new zoom feature in menu i cant navigate to any webpages, furthermore other features which seem to use explorer like programs cant be used to view. maybe just on device though dont know
Wow... Awesome, that killed my phone and stuck it in a boot loop... Now I get to restore.
The older version of PIE is much much faster than the current one. My webpage can't scroll smoothly now. How should I rectify that?

[UTILITY] CabTools - ROM package <--> CAB converters and more. For ROM builders

These tools will let you create ROM package and install CAB files from each other. I know there are already tools for them, but I didn't like them, because they had many errors. Of course my programs may have errors too, but I like them better anyway Some of these tools use external applications which need .NET and/or VC++ runtimes to work properly!
cab2pkg
This utility will extract a cab and create a ROM package. (just like ervius package creator, but this will get the info from the _setup.xml file). Simply tell him the cab file name as parameter, and it will extract into a new directory. (Or if you don't like the command prompt, simply drag the cab onto this file, and it'll extract it)
pkg2cab
This utility does the reverse of the above. It creates a cab installer from a ROM package.
Usage: pkg2cab [Application Name] [Directory1] {Optional directory 2} {...}
For example: pkg2cab OneNote OneNote OneNote_lang_0409
If everything goes fine the programs should create a setup.cab
pkg2cab does only support "flat" directories, so if your directory contains modules (directories that look like files), then you have to copy the file out of them manually, and delete the directory
extractpkg
This application will extract a package from a ROM, using a SYAKR file removal information file XML. If you don't know what syakr is, then check these pages:
http://winmo.sztupy.hu/syakr.html
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=277390
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462841
Put this application into a kitchen with an extracted ROM and SYAKR
Enter command prompt and enter "extractpkg XMLfilenamewithoutextension" so for example if you want to extract the fmradio, you should write: "extractpkg fmradio"
This app does the same as SYAKR, but instead of deleting the files/registry settings/initff lines, it will copy them to a separate directory, and adds the appropriate things that are needed for a package, that BuildOs likes
BEWARE! The current SYAKR tasks are not designed for extractpkg to work, and sometimes the extraction might fail, or the created package would be defective. If so, please try to correct the XML file!
After you extracted a package you might use pkg2cab to create a distributable CAB installer

OHH nice. someone just asked me to make a stock dialer cab for them.. this will make it easy
Amazing!, will try it indeed
wow nice tools i m going to make my own kitchen .. great work
It seems the included cabwiz might not work. You might try replacing it with a newer one: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=278074&view=findpost&p=954161

i want to create oem packages from cabs, and i have a problem. i've dragged the cab onto the "cab2pkg.exe" file and an error occurred: see attachament.
P.S. i've extracted the _setup.xml near pocketalarm.cab and i've copied next to cab2pkg.exe also. what should i do?

Are you sure your cab is located in the same folder as cab2pkg.exe? Only time I see an error is when I try dragging from outside the folder

You don't have to extract _setup.xml from the cab. If the cab contains _setup.xml then it should work fine. I only wrote to extract it separately, because then you can test whether xml2reg is working or not.
yes are in the same folder. i tried and in the same folder and in separate folders.
maybe should i try in command prompt? what command should i type there? i've tried drag & drop cab2pkg.exe space CorePlayer.v1.2.5.Build.4506.Pre.Regged.cab and i have the same result.

Windows Mobile Device Emulators 6.5.x

I extracted the WinMo device emulators out of the accidentially published 6.5.x SDK (which has meanwhile been removed by MS). So if you want to give your apps a testride on them, here they are.
The zip (330 MB) contains 2 folders, copy them as follows, assuming you already have WM6 SDK installed.
DeviceemulationV65x ==> C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\PocketPC
My Device Emulators ==> C:\My Documents\
You may need to modify the *.decfg files to your needs, please check the OSImage and Skin paths in each file to fit your configuration.
Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK has now been officially released by MS.

Thanks!

Windows Phone 7 cab files can be e-mailed and downloaded, by ansar.

Hi,
The attached cab file contains an exe file, common to all wp7 roms.
It is verified that can be sent with an e-mail and then can be downloaded to the e-mail sender windows phone device.
There is no need for any other app in order to do the task, you can try it, it is completly safe.
Regards, ansar.
can we do this for all cabs ? i mean XAPs ?

Hi,
Did not try it yet but i think it will have no problem.
With xap in order to work one should include the required .xml files too.
May be it is important to test if hubs can also be passed this way, although are large sized.
But if it works for hubs etc, other brand devices like Samsung can be benefit too.

WP7 cabs
Hi,
For your info, in all windows phone 7 ROMs there are 2 cab files included, these:
1. In OEM packages there is a special package (folder) named OEM_8x50_OS
... Inside this package there is the 1st cab named oemavatar.cab
2. In SYS packages there is a special package (folder) named MSAvatar
... Inside this package there is the 2nd cab named msavatar.cab
Both cabs have been verified that can e-mailed and then downloaded in the window phone 7 device.
The cab i included in the attachment in post #1 is made by me for testing purposes.
It includes an exe file that there is already inside the ROM of any windows phone 7 device.
It is also tested that the famus Totalcmd.cab can also be e-mailed and downloaded by the device.
Of course Total Commander cannot be executed by the wp7 device due to its header that is addressed to wm devices.
Next tests will include xap files like those of the system xap that are responsible for the Metro UI.
Regards, ansar.

TriX - extract, decompress files, folders from Firmware files

We can extract with TriX.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10481771&postcount=31
Big thanx to b.kubica
Now its time to analyze, compare some results... to identify important files...
As example I've uploaded extracted files from T-Mobile Firmware:
ShpApp.app
CSC_S8500_Tmobile_DTM.csc
FactoryFs_S8500_Tmobile.ffs

I wish more users would investigate Firmware with TriX.
Here little Video Tutorial how easy it is.
Best Regards
P.S.:
I will add this week Video for building files too. But its very simple.
i would like to play with this trix software. where i could get it. nevermind i will take a look on the link in first post. One more thing i want to ask, if i change any setting in ini files, and put it back to the phone using stune, the changed setting donot take effect. is there any way to avoid this. Like i had find the setting where samsung has put a limit on multitasking of java app to a max of 3 app. i have changed it to four but it didnt work. since i have installed many app i dont want to reset my phone. is there any way??

I know and I understand.
But Security is not easy to bypass or to disable with sTune...
Depend on exact file you play with sTune.
But except following:
1.
Wave has Security to prevent easy changes like:
Writeprotections (no replace nor delete possible)
Directories are most NOT delete able...
2.
Few *.ini files are stored double/twice... in User and SystemFS folder.
Shadow Backup to prevent change...
3.
Some *.ini files stores Data in database files...
This is the reason why I investigate time in Firmware files. Here are *.ini files not protected.
Flashing modified *.FFS, *.PFS, *.CSC or *.APP higher chance to bypass Security and successfully change Settings.
Best Regards
how i can instal trix ....it gives to me always error...
You have to use version 0.9 and fs_shell.trx script for bada.
Reference package, all files included
Okay. As many users seems to have problems with TriX.

Here are all files correct in position.
Please post results/problems with other Windows Version.
