[Q]WP7.5 File manager - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've got a HTC 7 Trophy (also called Spark or T8686) with Windows Phone 7.5 (7720) and TouchXplorer doesn't work in this version.
I tried to use TouchXperience's File Manager and Windows Phone Device Manager (1.8.0.0 public beta) and it doesn't work well.
In WPDM, when I transfer a mp3 file it return me an error. With folder I can create them but can't delete them.
Anyone knows another File Manager/Explorer does work in my HTC? (I tried WP7 Root Tools but it only work with Samsungs mobiles).
Thank you

Missing "Mobile Device" link in Windows Explorer

Hi,
i've got a big problem. since i use windows x64 i don't have the possibility to navigate directly within the filesystem of my xda iii via the windows explorer... normaly i had a "mobile device" (in german "mobiles geraet") link in my windows explorer where i could transfer files... everything works fine with active sync. but this link is missing...
it's very bad because everytime i want to transfer files i have to do it with the "file synchronisation"-feature of active-sync...
someone had/has the same problems? or read about it?
best thanks in advance

Program Removal

How do you remove a program from a windows mobile 6 device that was not installed with a .cab file?
I installed iContact v0.2 and recently upgraded to a newer version. I can't seem to get rid of the old version being that it does not show in the list of programs to uninstall.
have you tried using a file explorer and manually deleting the file and it's folder from your phone?
Yes, I have. That's why I'm so confused.

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:

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!!~~

[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] nokia lumia 710 , windows phone device manager

Hey all.
I have a Nokia Lumia 610 . Dev unlocked. Running 7.10.8858.136
Anyone any idea how to view the file through windows phone device manager? I need to download this file, and save the SMS entries to my PC.
When I use device manager, I cant see a folder called
\Application Data
\Applications\data\ ... (in this there is only one application folder available)
even there is not anything in Mydocument Folder.
On the root under file explorer, I have
My Documents (which is empty)
Windows (lots of files in it)
Application Data(only one folder)
When I open the Application Data folder, I only have a 'Key Storage' (certainly no Microsoft folder, and I tried typing it incase it was hidden or something , but just a ping sound and no refresh of the file list)
and when I open Key Storage, I have no files.
Any help working out why I cant see these folders / store.vol file would be very much appreciated
Does Windows Phone Device Manager not support this functionality on the Nokia Lumia 610 or Lumia 710?
Thanks
Same Issue
I have a Nokia 710 Dev Unlocked running 7.10.8862.144 and I too have the same problem.
