Hi,
I am new to this forum and a total beginner. Can anyone tell me how can I install apps using .xap files on a developer-unlocked WP7 device?
If you downloaded the Dev tools, you have an app called "Application Deployment" there ya go.. Or hunt down a XAP installer, there is a ton on this site.
Don't forget to hit thanks !
Also, when deploying make sure the device is actually plugged in, had a chance to connect, and that the screen is on and the home screen active (not locked).

Dear People,
How do I install Dropbox on Andriod without WiFi? Can't I just upload it on the USB ? Please help I am searching like 3 hours for now and I want free games Non-Market . Hope you guys can help me
Greets,
Spooky.
Bump... I am still searching please post if its possible or not.
Is there some reason you can't download it from the market over the cell signal? I downloaded it from the market while not on WiFi, and it installs, registers, and downloads files just fine.
Also, if you are connecting via USB cable, why don't you just mount your SD card, and transfer the applications to the phone that way?
Unless someone has a stand-alone Dropbox apk, I don't know if you can install it over USB.

Okay, if you have no internet access from your phone, then I'm not sure if Dropbox will help you out any. It is just a tool to share and download files on the internet.
If you can find the apps/games you want in ".apk" form, you can download the files to your computer, and use your computer to install them to your phone. The generic way to install apk's to any Android phone is with adb. It's part of the Android SDK. Do a Google search for using adb to install apk's, and you'll find plenty of instructions.
Something I ran across on the internet that you could also use is HTC Sync. It's supposedly a program that works with all HTC phones and has an "Install" function. I have a Samsung phone and have no idea how this software works or exactly what it does. I'm sure if you do a search for it, you will be able to find plenty of instructions.
Oh yeah, no matter which way you install these apps, you will need to go into Settings -> Applications and enable "Unknown Sources." This will allow you to install non-market applications (which is what you're doing).
Hi
First of all you need to be connected to Internet ...
From there you can type in this from inside your phone https://www.dropbox.com/android
Or you could go directly to Market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dropbox.android&hl=da
If you need a new account you can use this invitation Dropbox.
Hi there, I saw these posts about developer unlock for windows phone 7. I tried to do every single one of them, but somehow somewhere I always get a mistake... I want to root or however you call it my windows phone 7.5[mango] and i am a noob when it gets about that.... I currently possess HTC Trophy, and i want to do this because i want to be able to send and transfer files via bluetooth. I also tried to install xap files via ie on wp but it say file type not supported... Anyone know a way i can install .xap file on my windows phone 7 that it's easy?
No such thing as a quick developer unlock for HTC phones.
This is the best guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963
Nope
Nope, i need a tutorial on how to install .xap files, and on a link you gave me it says to install .xap file with xap file deployment tool... how the heck am i gonna do that when i can't open xap files since it's developer locked???
3. Download this attachment to your PC: HTC Interop Unlock.xap
4. Connect your device to a PC running Zune and install the xap-file using any xap-deploy-tool. You don't need to start the app. If it starts automatically, you can close it right away.
Currently, the only ways to dev-unlock a Trophy (or other HTC phone) are to get an AppHub account or use a custom ROM.
hmmmmh...
ummm, how do i do that? how do i use or set custom ROM? is there a guide or something... ?
For more device specific instructions and custom ROMs, go to the forums for your device. HTC Trophy, you said
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=809
In order to load a custom ROM, you need to downgrade and change the HSPL/RSPL. For the Trophy see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503298
As far as deploying XAPs to your phone from your computer, many options exist, but you have to be at least developer unlocked, and the only way is through AppHub right now. Thus, maybe flashing a custom ROM would be a better way to go.
Good Luck! and hit Thanks if you found this helpful.
Hey all,
Just wondering if there is a XAP manager that I can install on a PC. I have XAP files all over the place. All have found is XAP installers but, I would love something to manage all my XAPs in one place, then just click on one to install it.
Is there such an app out there ?
Well, Bazaar is available for the PC, but it uses its own library, not based on what's on your PC.
Don't know if this is what you're looking for.
Other than the XAP loaders, these are more "full service" tools, depending on your unlock status...

Hi All,
I have been using my 2nd gen Samsung Win Phone for a while (Omnia W - GT-I8350 to be more specific). I have recently interop unlock it.
The main account on the phone is a US Live account. So the app store tied to the US version. I however now living in the UK and wanted to install O2 Priority Moments. The app is only on UK store and when I tab the link on O2 website from my phone, it doesn't allow me to install it due to country restrictions.
I managed to found the app page on my PC, and downloaded the XAP for installing via SD card. But my phone doesn't have a card slot. I tried to sideload the XAP using Deploy software. But it cannot be read by the application.
Also, I thought normal XAP should have no difference to a ZIP file. But those I downloaded from Windows Phone website just cannot be open with 7zip or RAR software. The same happens to another free app that I wanted to install, but only available in the Hong Kong store.
Can anyone shed me some light on sorting it out?
Many thanks,
Jack

As far as I know, XAP files cannot be opened and edited like, for example, apk files in Android, because Windows Phone isn't open source. Therefore, all the apps are protected from editing (you actually CAN open them in WinRAR!).
If you have a proper XAP file of the app, you should be able to sideload it with Tom XAP Installer for example. But I'm fairly new to the world of Windows Phone, so you might wanne wait for someone else's answer. In the meantime, take a look here, it seems to be possible to change your region and therefore download the app the official way: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/f...-allow-changing-your-windows-id-live-location

I have no problem in deploying other homebrew apps and/or "modified" apps in to my phone. Only those XAP downloaded from the windows phone website, those supposed to be installed via SD card, does work for me.
Anyone know how to make it work?
Thanks,
Jack

I think it's because now apps from Marketplace are encrypted, so maybe only Marketplace app can decrypt and install them.
If you're phone is unlocked, you can make an archive file for each installed app and then save it into your pc (if you search in this forum you should find some threads about this item).
Winrar or similar software "don't know" they need to decrypt the xap file.

Various different apps. not only one, but coz they are free apps, no one would bother to crack them.
First off this is not for Pirating apps.
Would it be possible to install .xap files on the 8x HTC without unlocking it with DEV tools? If No how would i go about becoming a DEV and how would I unlocking it, and if you unlock the phone will it reduce the speed of the phone?
I really want to install Swapchat (3rd party Snapchat app that actually works well) which has been taken off of the windows store, but can still be downloaded as a .xap file.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks
