Windows Phone 7 Build 6414 (July 'Beta') Unlocked Emulator

Windows Phone 7 Dev tools Beta released
Here's the updated emulator build. It seems very similar (and the build number is only a bit higher) than the one leaked last week. As with that build, there's no options to add data sources to sync/connect with. Ugh! I'll keep working at it as it's bound to be there somewhere but we'll see.

Unlike previous builds, it seems that you need to pass a VMID to the XDE executable. As follows...
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft XDE\1.0\XDE.exe" "C:\Users\YOU\Desktop\WM70C1-6414-unlocked.bin" /VMID {E575DA31-FC47-4766-853F-018D823B9EE6}
Or you can place the file in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Emulation\Images" with the name "WM70C1.bin" and debug with visual studio and it will launch. I've only tried a super basic app but this appears to be the first one that actually works fully with debugging! This should help the devs that want to be able to test with the various task launchers with some actual data.
So here's the download!

I'll have to wait til I get home from work to download/look into it. Let us know what you find! I wonder if this is the same emulator build that found it's way out last week?

I'm installing that.
Little Tips: If you installed the April CTP, installing the beta from the April CTP's uninstaller (Open uninstaller -> click Repair/Reinstall -> when the uninstaller ask the CD, click the option for re-downloading the file from Internet). In that mode, you don't uninstall Visual Basic 2010, Visual Studio 2010 or XNA Studio. Enjoy!
(Sorry for my bad English, I'm Italian )

Now we need to wait for an unlock of the new OS Image. It is very much improved with bootup, transitions, and everything really. I cant wait to see how the apps, and hubs are looking and performing now...

Wow, that's really cool. If I just would have heard about this earlier...

Can you install the tools with my mode? I can't, the installation can't download Windows Phone Emulator x64 and it's block. HELP!!!

Eh, I created a new WP app project in Expression Blend and immediately ran it. The basic title layout already doesn't match the system layout. *sigh*

Got problems installing it via the repair routine - just getting errors that some parts of the install couldn't complete. Damned....

Yes, it's *much* safer to do a full uninstall of CTP tools, reboot, then install the Beta.

reserved for futur

works great, thanks for sharing

And this build definitely does seem snappier. Maybe that's because they turned off all logging

Here's a couple of the default sounds pulled from the image for use on our phones if you want them...
WP7_pure.mp3 is the default ringtone, for those wondering what that is.

And who installed Visual Basic 2010 Express must uninstall and reinstall its (if it's possible).

Thanks for the image!
But I've got a problem with the emulator. It's choppy like hell, it always was for me. I've got a Core 2 Duo 2,14 GHz so I don't think that should be a problem, but I see it is using just one core. Is there a trick to enable emulator using the 2nd core or get it somehow hardware accelerated?

And got the tools from SonicFlare's post here:

Important note: The Settings menu is a bit broken, no About page working. I assume there's some SecureItem GUIDs I need to set, but time limits me from doing it myself. Anyone want to take a stab and report back?
Enjoy!

Awesome! I really cant wait until M$ releases the WP7 update. I could really use the copy and paste feature.

It works OK Thanks!
Very useful for developers.

I have downloaded this file half a dozen times, and I cannot unzip it using either Windows Explorer or WinRar... Is there another source for it?

it's really an important post,great work mate.
it's a rich material for WP7 Rom Cooking,,,who don't like recipes.....

Filesystem
Is there a way to view the file system of the emulator? Some of the original emulator unlocks seemed to have this feature but I haven't been able to find discussion of it with the more recent updates.
Any advice on how to view the root directories?

Is this a full rom with all the features on it ? (phone, xbox,etc)

Windows Phone 7 Emulator Unlocked - can't unzip
I have tried downloading the file, but WinRAR and Windows Explorer both say that the file is corrupt, and I can't unzip it. I have also tried following the directions to unlock it myself, but when I open up my bin file, everything is using the Cyrillic alphabet, so I don't know where to find the changes to make.
Suggestions?

Is there a way to unlock the settings to test syncing email accounts?

Unfortunately, no. Even the original emulator that was super easy to crack and allowed almost-everything-under-the-sun didn't allow that unfortunately. It sucks because it looks like the new emulator is severely nerfed now where at least I could show off the basic functionality before. I hope MS goes back and gives us a ROM that does a little more 1:1 with a functional device. Not like I'd rather use the emulator than my phone anyway.

There isn't a limitation. According to this thread it may be a problem with your device. Can you deploy an application with the official application deployer?

Of course, I used to install it with "tom xap"
In fact with your batch it works with some , and not with others . I'm trying to investigate and I'll tell you which one gave me problems, maybe wrong signatures or ....
Hum, maybe simply that ^^

Could be that these aren't signed with the certificate from chevron wp7.
I will add a feature to automatically sign these apps with a chosen certificate. Probably somewhere this week

Thx in advance and anyway your app is a must have for rom testers ^^
And as we should see a lot of custom WP7 rom soon....

Fantastic, works great.

Thanx a lot for this, Custom ROMs here we come!.

And running Zune is also required? Or works it also without Zune?

Does this remove the drm and resign? like being able to install xap's from different devices? Or just install apps from marketplace?

Check the requirements in the first post, are you receiving any error message?

Will it works for WP7 emulator?

Yes, choose Emulator in settings

Right, so you have to let it resign the App if it's from the Marketplace, if you do this will the marketplace on the phone still update the app when updates are released etc?

hi
have anyone else the same problem, that you could install some .xap and some not?
e.g. the game The Harvest i couldnt install.....
everytime comes installing failed....

USB Storage Enabler

Hello together
I developed an "USB Storage Enabler" Tool for Windows phone 7, so you can easy enable or disable the WP7 USB functionality.
You need to have Zune installed and one device connected for least one time.
To enter the USB Storage you'll close Zune.
Now you can use your phone like a simple USB Stick
This tool requires .NET 2.0.

Here is the download link for you:
WP7 USB Storage Enabler
German post on the original page
I've tested this software on NT 6.x (Vista + 7). Please use this software at your own risk.
You only see emtpy folders? Try this:
Normal way:
1. Start Zune and connect your device
2. Click on "Enable" in the USB Storage Enabler Tool
3. Close Zune (or your folders are empty)

Oh,... try to run this tool as an administrator. (maybe UAC or somethings is blocking some registry functions)

i run it standard, without admin.
ps. i have chevron hack + NoDo updated + all wp7 developer programs
AND it woks fine! DANKE!

I have NoDo + Locked + WP7 Tools + UAC disabled.
Mhm,... I'll try this on another machine.

danke!!! Thanks!!! that's the tool we were waiting for!!!! you're the man!

Works great with my (locked) HTC Arrive.

Works great with my unlocked HTC 7 Pro(Win XP,Win 7)

Works with Omnia 7 but I am seeing two icons for portable devices in my computer... Can you look into this?
Phone is on NoDo with C7 unlock and Samsung tools to prevent relocking.

It enables all found zune devices. If you've flashed your phone to a new version the "old one" (=zune device registration) is still stored in the registry. Ignore them :]

Works fine with Win 7 and HD7 after starting with admin rights...cool !!!

Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

I did this change in registry when it was announced public, but unfortunately "My ringtones" folder is not visible...
Is there any way to access it from Windows Explorer?
Anyway, this is a great tool for not having to mess around in registry

Works great though!

[info] Linux on SM-T585 Samsung Galaxy TAB A6 10.1 (2016)

Hi,
Currently i am porting Linux "Ubuntu phablet" to my device Samsung Galaxy TAB A6 10.1 (2016), i have a little progress here.
Currently i was able to do following
- Recompile the kernel and enable video frame buffer
- Build init scripts and create boot.img
- Installed Ubuntu touch on system partition
- Boot to Ubuntu and enable adbd server to be able to continue.
Here you can find a video with my progress h**p://ms.serdit.ro/files/linux-boot-t585.mp4

Help Needed
Hi. I am one of the few who is interested in having linux installd on android devices (Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2016), but there is little forums about this.
I am therefore asking for your help in trying to get this to work. I am trying to install any linux distribution thats available.
As i saw in your video you had something similar to grub bootloader. Can you share it please. B ut most importantly I'd like to know how to get linux installed.
Any necessary information will be greatly accepted.
Thank you in advance and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi pops,
Unfortunately there is no complete linux version yet which works on this tablet, i didn't had enough time to complete my port so currently the only thing which works is the boot process of a bare linux with only command line without wifi or mobile data.
The above boot menu is actually a simple program, built by me, which loads an init scripts from desired partition based on an exit code from a loop in the initial init script. It is programmed in C and you need to know how to cross-compile on other platform apps in order to be usable, or to use it as is with precompiled menu.
Basically my linux does not have graphical interface and no peripherals yet and does not have an installable image, with a little progress on android LXC container which is up and running, but nothing tested yet.
Best regards,
Marc

Thank you very mu ch for your quick reply. I understand totally what you said. :good::good:
I believe that this is something that shouldnt be done by only one developer as it may be lots of work.
I know lots about android but not about porting or making custom roms, custom recoveries, or custom kernels. I
If you come up with anything let me know(and who ever it may concern).
Thanks so much again for your reply. :good::good:

Unfortunately I will not update any of my threads on XDA-Developers websites.
I asked them to remove all my posts and delete my account, but is seems that they did't did that yet.
I will continue to work on my projects but publish the result elsewhere.

Okay but I'd really appreciate if I can stay in the know aboit this so i will leave my contact in order for you to update me. And if you may require any help from my end that wouldn't be. problem.
