[Q] Putting files on Mango RTM - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
I have a little Question, I updated to MANGO beta and I wanna Try to install a Game. But the .Xap is Larger than 200 MB in Size, under NoDo I have put the largest file out of the .Xap and put them with Windows phone Manager into the Phone, but the TouchXperience don't Work on Mango.
Is there any way to copy files from my Computer to the Phone?
THX for Help

I think not. But there's an update for the Windows Phone Developer Tools (January 2011) which should fix it. Then you can deploy bigger apps.

In my example I will put the German.Map file, into the Navigon Folder.
Or can I place the map into an XAP and deploy them to the Phone?

Hello,
I have tried the Update and it is working thanks a lot..

THIS I HAVE NOTICED TOO
I tried to install a game my friend was developing on 3 devices and no dice. I thought it was a registry setting but evidently no.
Is there a registry edit to regulate app size?
yes, same problems , anyone know how to fix that , please share the trick
I didn't notice this. I'm going to check when I get home.
Sent using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
yeah i noticed it too
for these big xaps, i just install them with a smaller size and then install the big files with touchxperience or another phone->file-manager

could you explain your process a lil bit more? dont really get it ^^;
ok
First I extract the .xap into a folder. Next thing is to open the xap and remove the large files and look which guid the app has in the manifest.xml .
Install .xap . Now we use TouchXperience or Advanced Eplorer to copy the files into Applications/Data/guid/* and voila. extra-big-xap is installed
Holy Smoke °_°!
Thanks for the hint, gonna try that one out~
Man... this question was asked by me before already ... i guess i wasnt specific enough on my title ><
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020532
and i also checked the folder structure...
it seems the file was deployed to Application/install/GUID/Install
well thats where i found the deployed files
AND IM HAPPY TO SAY IT TOTALLY WORKS!! YAYYYY THANKS FOR DISCOVERING THIS METHOD!!!
Hm didnt work for me ^^;
May I ask for a step by step guide?
File transfer is extremely slow, i'm getting old transfering 200MB apps....
If the game only has 1 big file, you can use the usb trick for windows, your files will be then in my document / zune /content / ...
I cause that problem too, but when I tried installed 2 files (with small file size) in same times that working
but i fail the method delete big file in xap and installed
by the way I don't found XDA app for WP7. I search for a week and my eye nearly blind thanks
yay... I success install big xap to my phone. method delete big file is working but copy file to phone is need to wait for age
There is a MUCH easier method. Simpy deploy using Homebrew Marketplace found here:

Just deployed some xtra large XAP's with it on NoDo and everything went fine

Thanks, i'll reupdate to NoDo and try it out
EDIT: not working
On what OS did you try? did you use the MS dev tools or ConMan libs?
I used Dev Tools with this program. I deployed Guitar Hero 5 (212 MB) as a test and it worked. The Harvest also gave me no problems.
Edit: Now I tried it again and got a timeout error. Then I launched Windows Phone Device Manager 1.2 and deployed again with Homebrew Marketplace and in worked. Weird
Edit 2: My desktop OS is Windows 7.
This method is if everything fails (quite tedious).... it worked for me every time so far
You need:
- Unlocked phone
- TouchXperience (Windows Phone Device manager) or advanced explorer (So that you can transfer files from PC to Phone)
1. Make a copy of the .xap file (just in case u screw it up)
2. Open the .xap file with winrar
3. Extract everything into a New folder
3. Find the file "WMAppManifest.xml" - open it and check the "productID", record this number down
3. By using winrar, delete files inside the .xap file until you have around 20mb left of the .xap file (Make note of what you deleted it, i usually just delete the content folder)
4. Deploy the modified .xap file
5. Now by using Touchexperience, transfer the files u deleted into the following destination in ur phone: (Just in case u forget, you have already extracted all the files previously, so find the deleted files from there)
Applications\Install\"Product ID"\Install
(make sure the folder structures remain the same as it was in the .xap file)
6. And you are done
I hope i was clear with this!!~~

I have a samsung omnia 7, that is chevron unlocked. I would like to install mango OS on it. I currently have os version 7.0.7004. I have already followed the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152422 and have copied over the relevant files (.xml) and I have also got mango ready to install.
COuld somebody help me out?
Thanks
First things first. I would suggest using zune to update to 7392. Make sure you update to that first and still are unlocked. Once you have done that there is a wealth of information in this thread on how to proceed from there.
The main thing you need to remember is in that zip file there is a xap called -Unlock_Mango_XBMODDeployer.xap deploying this file and copying over the file it creates to your Windows directory on the phone is CRUCIAL to keeping the phone unlocked throughout the procedure. Basically it makes a file called CustClear.provxml and this file is located in My Documents\My Ringtones\ on the phone after you run that xap. Be sure to install TouchXplorer.xap on your phone and just use that to copy that file to your windows directory.
And AFTER you have run the update do the provision of that file. On samsung devices I am not sure how you do that but search through this forum and I am sure you will figure it out.
Good luck

Thanks for the reply man!
I was really starting to doubt this commnity.
Can i use any version of zune to update and how do i keep the unlock?
Will zune just update to the NODO one alone and not bypass that and update to the latest firmware?
Okay, so i have updated to the latest build of mango and i have lost my unlock. I followed the instructions to the letter and no joy. Can i get it back?
Remember that custclear file? You have to re-provision the phone to unlock. Hard to copy links via phone but in the developer section there is a walk through on how to do that on a Samsung. It works with the diagnosis code to do it
Sent from my HTC Surround, filled with Mango deliciousness.
Here is that link to how do re-unlock it with a samsung.

[Q] How to get the files in WP7?

Hi all, how can I get a file from windows phone 7 such as the camerasettingsmanifest.XXXX.xml or others. My phone is Omnia7. With WP7 Root Tool, I can browse and operate files in this system on the phone, but I don't know how to get them out. Anyone can help me? Thanks.
Install schaps WPDM, explore to the file you want, copy it on the phone to My Documents folder on the phone (as if it is being used by the system you cannot transfer it directly to your desktop), and then transfer that to your PC.
Gr8,thank you so much!
No Problem - here is the link (you need to be on NoDo; no Mango support yet).

[Q] Working file browser in Mango

Hi!
Is there a working file browser that supports Mango? I need to put a file in Windows folder but I cannot do this under Mango with TouchXplorer as it is not working.
Regards,
Cina.
Anyone?
How can I put a file in Windows folder under Mango? I have no Hungarian dictionary with localised mango and I need dictionary.040E.dat in Windows to have it working. Under 7712 it worked this way.
Please if you have and idea share it here.
Cina.
For working TouchExplorer on official Mango update you have read that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963
From the thread you've referred I had this question already without a solution:

TouchXplorer doesn't run because it is not yet compatible with mango (as far as I know).

It is confirmed as INTEROP Unlocked devices after 7720.68 cannot use TouchXPlorer. That is why my question still appealing.
So other than TouchXplorer is there a method to get my file to Windows folder?
