[Q] New to WP, and have questions.

Hey Everyone!
So I have had my HTC Radar for about a week now, and since then I have Dev Unlocked, and now that I am I want to know what all I can do with this phone.
Is there a way to have the tile labels (at the bottom of the tile) removed? Is there a way to add a custom background image on the tiles? Or even change a tile image (ie TweetCaster)?
What exactly does HTC Interop Unlock?
And since I am Dev Unlocked via Microsoft being a student, how many app's am I allowed to side-load? And if I am limited, can I remove that limit?
I hope to hear your answers, and in advance, THANKS!

Student gives you 3. Interopt unlock works for 1st generation windows phones but not 2nd yet (worked on my surround, not on my new titan).
Interopt unlock also changes sideload limit to unlimited. you need this for more then 3 apps and also for some of the more powerful homebrew apps.
You can however download batterystatus from here in the software section. it does not require it. Also you can do the custom folders without even being unlocked. Tile color changes with themes. not much modifying there as the app sets it. There are a few utilities though if interopt unlocked for more customizations.

[Q] Any way to show or download FREE hidden provider apps in Marketplace ?

I want to download a FREE application (Orange Cineday & Orange et Moi) in section "Orange" ... but i can't show it !
Have you a soluce to do please ... or just give me a soluce to have the GUID of these apps ?
Thankx,
Poloche,

If your phone is for some reason not showing the carrier marketplace, it may be possible to get it to appear using a XAP similar to the OEM Marketplaces XPs (see my signature). It'll require a little investigation, and the file that specifies MO marketplaces is a slightly than the one for OEM marketplaces, but it's not that complex.
If you'll read through the thread, you'll find enough info to get started yourself.

@GoodDayToDie Can you make XAP for different carriers (similar to the OEM XAP you made so far)? I have 2 Samsung Focus on Tmobile network but couldn't see the carrier marketplace. Thanks!
Also, now that an Omnia W ROM is available, can you look into why Call Blocking is not working on 1st gen Samsung devices? The newest Call Blocking app version is 1.8 from Marketplace.

@nepi: The MO marketplaces typically don't have their own section, but "ought" to load automatically on the phone. If you're on TMO-US, even if the phone wasn't originally TMO-branded, do a search in the Marketplace for "Family Room" or "T-Mobile TV". If they don't show up, then you can't access the TMO-US marketplace. I guess I can make a XAP for that one easily enough (it's my carrier, so I just pull the the relevant file off my phone, package it into a XAP, and post it). Honestly though, the only TMO-US app that I've found worth having at all is My Account, and that rarely (and it wouldn't be useful to anybody not on TMO).
Call Blocking (and the other gen2-specific Samsung apps) can't be used on gen1 phones pretty much by design. Samsung changed the drivers in their firmware that apps (both official and homebrew) with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES use to do things outside their sandbox (call blocking is definitley not allowed from within the sandbox!). Some (but not all) of the gen1 apps are compatible with a backward-compatiblity interface in the gen2 firmware, but the gen2 apps are never going to be compatible with gen1 until/unless those new drivers are back-ported. That's not something we can do (at least, not until the Samsung bootloader is unlocked) ourselves, because the drivers are baked into the ROM, and nobody has yet figured out how to make a driver that's not in the ROM work.
I have a few theories, but it'll be some time before I can do anything with them. They're related to my current project, which is executing native homebrew EXEs on WP7 (specifically, I'm currently looking at modifying the Policy system to allow this). It may be that the Policy system is also behind the driver issue, but until I manage to modify the policies, that's a moot point.

I want to download "Orange Cineday" specific ORANGE Marketplace... Can you please give me the GUID ?
@GoodDayToDie
Please, explain me the registry key to show the "Orange Section" in my phone ? ... I have an interOP-Unlock Omia 7

Please read the OEM Marketplace XAPs thread (linked in my sig). The file that needs to be replaced is different from the one those XAPs replace (OEM market, you need the MO market) but it's stored in the same location and the structure of the file is similar.
I don't know what the identifier for ORANGE is, although "ORANGE" would be a decent thing to try! This is a pretty basic hack, requiring mostly just some time to experiment; give it a shot yourself. I prefer to use 7-Zip for modifying the XAP files, as it handles the path traversal nicely.

@GoodDayToDie: I'm in Seatte, too. The first day when I carrier unlocked my Focus and put in T-mobile SIM I saw the T-mobile My Account app on the Marketplace. However, after I reset the phone it's no longer there and I can't find it again. Can you post the appID for My Account app here? I want that app to check account status, etc.
Also, here is the app ID for Call Blocking version 1.8 from marketplace. I can't post direct link because of my poor post count. I just post this incase anyone wants to download it but can't find it in the marketplace. (I can see the app when the link is opened in my Focus but no option to install it "Not compatible with your phone..etc...")
Call Blocking version 1.8: appID=e23ef9a7-e785-4fc6-ab6c-500034b5226d

[Q] How can I download and install: [XAP] Screen Capturer v3

Hi,
I'm trying to download the file: [XAP] Screen Capturer v3 - use Camera key to get screenshot.
I get the message: "Can't load the file. WP doesn't support this filetype".
Sincerely,
Asgeir Nygaardsvold

What, are both Google and Bing blocked by your ISP or something?
Download the XAP to PC.
Dev-unlock the phone (AppHub or ChevronWP7 Labs or WindowBreak or LG registry editor).
Install a XAP deployer (the official SDK, which also includes the unlock tool, has one).
Connect phone to PC and sync with Zune.
Run deployer tool, select the XAP, and install it.
Any further questions on the subject must be accompanied by at least two links to Internet search engine results that should, but for whatever reason did not, contain an answer to that question.
Seriously... way to waste people's time, yourself included.

Don't be too harsh. Some people just don't know how to start development.
@OP: Just have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/gg588378(v=vs.92).aspx

Why there's no community support for LG Optimus 7 (swit 7 - e900) ?

Why does no one release anything for LG E900 ( eg. full unlock, custom rom)? Is this phone so hard to hack or just no one cares? It was supposed tgo have 1,3 GHz processor – maybe it's jus underclocked? So many interesting issues here and catching no ones attention ;(

You just have to search. Use the old cheveron unlock (you may have to downgrade to do this) and follow these instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963
LG has a registry editor in 1st gen phones so you can easily interopt unlock it.

@ROCOAFZ: Dev-unlock is just a registry tweak, same as interop-unlock. Do *NOT* downgrade your phone to try and use the original ChevronWP7 Unlocker; it's a total pain to use now and you lose data when downgrading. Just use the registry editor directly!! The thread you linked tells you all the values you need to change.
@paksio: There's tons of homebrew for LG! Registry editors all support it, since it's so easy. Provxml apps also support it, except for FileOperation commands. The current filesystem browsers don't support it (no OEM DLL for filesystem access), but Heathcliff74 has said that his upcoming WP7 Root Tools v0.9 does, and that should be out soon.
As for custom ROMs, if you want to get hacking on the LG bootloader, go right ahead. DFT will probably get to it in time, but like all the rest of us they have other time commitments and personal priorities. Hackers are hobbyists, doing this stuff on our own time. If a hack hasn't been promised, don't expect it or ask where it is. If a date hasn't been promised, don't ask when something will be available or how long it will take. You can't really predict these things even if we were being paid to do this; hacking takes time and experimentation.
For the record, pretty much all hacks for the LG Quantum should work just fine on the Optimus 7.

Thanks for the clarification on the downgrade. I had a surround so i had to do it the hard way as it doesn't have a built in reg editor. I forgot what it actually did.

Question RESEARCH! unlock Bootloader

I really really Hope anybody is Able Upload a YouTube video how it works!

Black Shark 4/4S/4pro/4SPro/5/pro models
from the 4th generation of Black Shark, the threshold for Black Shark flashing has officially become higher. The previous 9008 flashing can be flashed without authorization, but starting from the 4th generation, it must be authorized by the job number, which makes many users unable to complete it by themselves. Judging from the multiple unlocking of Black Shark 4 series account locks, there are also two methods.
Method 1: Unlock the phone by flashing the font library, which is basically biased towards hardware-level maintenance. Non-professionals should not try it. If the Black Shark 4/5 flashing machine is unlocked by flashing the font library, there may be problems that the Xiaomi account cannot be logged in and the upgrade system will be locked again.
Method 2: In addition to the method of dismantling the character library, Black Shark 4/4P/4S/5/5pro/5RS mobile phones can also force open the BL lock, and use the third-party modified version of the JOYUI system to unlock the account lock. At present, this unlocking method is relatively mature, and it can be completed quickly by flashing the phone without disassembling the phone. Special attention, if the Black Shark 4/5 series has a locked machine, do not flash the machine by mistake and brick it into the 9008 port. Such a 9008 port must be disassembled to flash the machine successfully. Limited by the difficulty of flashing, starting from the 4th generation, it does not support ordinary users to unlock BL flashing, and requires professionals to flash successfully.

黑鲨4/4S/4pro/4SPro/5/pro机型
从黑鲨4代，黑鲨刷机门槛正式变高，之前的9008刷机是可以免授权刷入的，但4代开始，必须工号授权刷机，这导致很多用户都不能自行完成。从多次解黑鲨4系列账户锁来看，也是有2个方法的。
方法1：拆字库进行刷机解锁，基本偏向于硬件级别维修，非专业人员不要尝试，拆字库刷机解锁的黑鲨4/5刷机，可能出现小米账号不可登录和升级系统再次锁定问题
方法2：除了拆字库的办法，黑鲨4/4P/4S/5/5pro/5RS手机也一样可以强开BL锁，使用第三方修改版本的JOYUI系统来解账户锁。目前来看，该解锁方法相对成熟，并且不需要拆机，通过刷机就能够快速完成。特别注意，黑鲨4/5系列有锁机千万不要刷机错误变砖进9008端口，这样的9008端口必须拆机才能刷机成功。受限于刷机难度，4代开始，并不支持普通用户解锁BL刷机，需要专业人员才能刷机成功

Hey, as an IT student, these models from the 4th generation have made flashing a bit tougher. Previously, you could flash them without authorization, but now you need a job number for authorization. This has left many users unable to do it themselves. You have to force open the BL lock and use a modified version of the JOYUI system for unlocking. It doesn't require phone disassembly. However, be careful not to accidentally brick your phone into the 9008 port. Starting from the 4th generation, ordinary users can't unlock BL flashing, so professional help is necessary. By the way, when researching for papers, reading online studies can provide valuable insights and up-to-date information on your topic. On https://paperap.com/ I ask writing experts to do my research on various technologies, and the academic professionals' free essays and term papers by Paperap help me so much get ready for my university homework. I hope my suggestions will make your problem easier to solve.
