You read this ?
FIX TRANSLATION OF CAMERA SETTINGS
When you're on MANGO and you added new languages, you may find that the camera-settings are incomplete. This is not a problem with the update-process. Actually, the translations of these setting are simply missing from the official update-packages. These settings are also missing when you do the official update through Zune. To fix this, a couple of XDA members manually translated these settings (see this thread). The translated XML files are attached in the file CameraSettingsTranslations.zip. You have to select the XML files that correspond with the language-packs you've added. You need to move these files to the \Windows folder on your device. To do this, you can use the programs DiagProvXml and Isolated Storage Explorer. Full instructions for copying the files to the \Windows folder can be found here.

Try searching for "deploy XAP to phone" or similar. Laziness is the only thing that prevented this from being a LMBTFY link. You need to developer-unlock your phone (try WindowBreak) and use a XAP deployment tool.

I tryed, bud when i try to Windowbreak my phone, WINDOWBREAK is not listed in GPRS when i go to *#9908#
P.S my current system is 7.10.8107.79 as i mentioned above in the post. (all the recent updates)

You probably installed the KK2 firmware version, which breaks hacks like WindowBreak and apps like DiagProvXml. You'll either need to roll back (a Zune backup works file) or, if you don't have the KK2 firmware version, your Diagnostics version may be bad - try removing it and re-installing from the dialer.
FYI, you can also get a legit Developer Unlock from Microsoft. It costs money unless you're a student, though. However, you'll still need interop-unlock (included in WindowBreak) to install apps like DiagProvXml.
Please search these terms before asking "what is this" or similar. Steps on how to do things like check your firmware and Diagnostics versions are on this site, mostly on the dev&hacking sub-forum.

Awesome. I have been looking for this. Thanks!
is this working on the Vox? I don't get it installed due to "not enough system permissions"

Hmm... You guys tried unlocking your phone with the "SDA Unlocker" app floating around ? That should do the trick.

I did it also, but nothing happened
it may interest all you vox owners (like myself), that I have looked thru the coding of that cab and have been coding all the nessesary bits for it to work on our phones. I'm still working on the cpr file (the one that positions everything), and then I will cab it all up. im still trying to contact the developer to see if he knows whys its not installing thou (and to make sure its okay to poke around in his file!)
EDIT>>
I've just noticed the developer has changed his use of the TestUIPlugin slide for the use of the welcome screen slide, due to reliability and positioning, BUT I personally use the welcome slide for shortcuts, and have had no issues with the testuiplugin slide, plus I notice the welcome screen cannot refresh like the testui one can, so i'm sticking with it. If anyone is interested in my cpr file, or others, I can post them.
Kos letme know when your cab is ready...
thank you
So.. is it possible to install the weather plugin on the Vox? Please post the cpr file or whatever is needed to install it.
If you go the original thread in the Excalibur forum, you can download the cab there and install it on your Vox. It uses the WelcomeCenter plugin which is already properly formatted for the Vox as well. Go download it and try it
I tried every version posted in the Excalibur thread and it doesn't install. It says i don't have sufficient permissions. Rebooted, tried again and still nothing...
EDIT: Found the original version and it still does not install...

The solution I found to make it work is to install everything manually including the creation of the registry keys... :| :S ....but it works now ;P
Well, now I have an issue: everytime the weather updates, my start menu dies...it just stops working...
You guys should try unlocking your device with the SDA Unlocker app that's floating around. That will most definitely do the trick.

I already said that didn't work as the other user also said...I had to install everything contained in your cab files manually to make it work...
My bad.. didn't see that part. Well how does it look in portrait mode ? Is it messed up ?

until now everything looks good even in portrait mode...the only issue that sometimes happens is that when I update the weather, sometimes the start menu stops working...I click in the start menu and nothing happens...I have to reboot to make it work again...

"Your Current Security Settings Do Not Allow this file to be downloaded"

WTF is this??? Anything I try to download from Internet Explorer produces this result, no matter the file type. I checked security settings and there is nothing that helps. I am on Windows mobile 6.5... IE in this OS is such garbage...I'm just trying to upgrade my Google Maps...Help!

appreciate the links but I guess I do not have enough knowledge to be able to translate that into a solution. I made no changes to the registry so I don't know why this happened all of a sudden. I did a search before for the title of my thread and all that came up was a bunch of stuff for internet explorer on the desktop, nothing helpful. Oh well.

How to take out the .xap from WP7

Dear all,
Did anyone know how to take out the .xap from WP7
Took me forever to find due to the buggy nature of the search function, but This thread has a program where you can "download" installed xaps from the windows phone.
I asked the same question a few weeks ago, and the post was closed...

Being new I am not sure, but all that program does is list the xaps you have installed yourself (Sideload) so no chance of piracy concerns which is only reason why I could think that maybe yours was closed..
Short version: You can't. XAP files are never stored on the phone. You're asking the equivalent of "How can I get SkypeSetup.exe out of my C:\Program Files\Skype directory?"
It *might* be possible to reconstruct the XAP, but you'd need to build it from the application's install directory. Currently the only phones that you can access this directory on is HTC (and possibly Samsung, when Heathclif releases his tool). I actually already have an app that does this (access the install directory, not rebuild the XAP) and have avoided even trying to rebuild the XAP as I have more than enough other things to do and could see no real value in doing the requild. If you can convince me otherwise, I'll listen. "So I can copy the app to my friend's phone" isn't going to fly, though; I'll tell you that now. Requests like that get reported to the mods. This forum is *NOT* about app piracy; read the stickies.
It's possible, just need to copy files from /Applications and pack it using zip. Only HTC devices can access to this folder.

[Q] Backup->Update->Restore

Hi,
I have searched in the forums but i couldnt find any solution to my problem.
My phone is a LG Optimus 7 unbranded on mango.
I want to backup my phone, update it to the latest rom with tethering enabled and after that i want to restore from backup.
How can i do that?
Thanks in advance!
There is no tool that can do that right now. The backup only happens when a new updates come in and Zune does that. It cannot be done manually.
Thanks for the fast answer!
So do i have to wait for the tethering update to appear in Zune or do i have to flash another firmware?

Only Zune will be able to do it. So I guess unless they do you have no choice. And No Firmware can enable it.
wpxbox is actually incorrect, there is a tool to create an image-based backup (like Zune does when updating) on demand. Search the Development and Hacking sub-forum, and you can find it. Note that it requires a program, updatewp.exe, that was once distributed by Microsoft and no longer is, so you'll need to find a copy of it (and the version for that copy must exactly match your Zune version).
However, what you're asking for isn't actually useful anyhow, unless you want to install the update and then immediately remove it. A WP7 backup is really more properly called a restore point - it's a full image of the phone's entire storage, including the parts that are normally read-only (the ROM). Restoring that image overwrites everything, including the ROM. Updates are modifications to the ROM, and restoring a backup will therefore remove the update.
That cleared the things... Thanks.
Thanks for correcting me. Apprciate that.
Yes there is a tool which you can find here but to make it work you need to use Old version of Zune and replace couple of DLL.
I personally have tried it but for some reason it did not work for and hence I was not recommending it. But thats me.
Go ahead and give it a shot to see if it works for you. If yes let me know how you did.

Thanks for providing the direct link. I was able to get it working, although it took a lot of work to find matching versions of the tool installer (v1, not v2) and Zune software. It's possible, though. Take a look at the Backup header in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963. It has instructions and links that you may be able to use to make the tool work.
Hi,
I finally poured in one complete day figuring out what was in that thread and made it work. I have written my version of making it work here
And Have also created a Video Demo as a Proof that How I made it work. Any feedback is appreciated.
The video is like 11:28 Minutes long. Where I have :
First showed what is my phone
Then created a Backup
Showed where the backup is actually stored i.e. Zune Default restore point
Reset my Phone
Used the Backup to bring it normal state.

[Q] Can I still explore system files with new January 2012 HTC HD7 firmware update?

I'm running Windows Phone Mango 7.5 (7.10.8107.79) on my HTC HD7 and now I'm fully Interop Unlocked. My firmware is 2250.21.51004.401 and I received an update available (firmware 2250.21.51101.401 from HTC). I read this firmware update does not break Interop Unlock, but makes less privileges to some apps (I don't know which). My question is ONLY if I can still explore (and edit/copy) my system files using Windows Phone Device Manager (last release) or not. Please I need an answer! (Did someone try to explore files with this firmware revision?)
Thanks

Can you copy any type of file with Windows Phone Device Manager? For example it copy pdf or zips files from phone to PC.

Exactly, Now I can copy whatever file I want to copy from and to the phone. So you answer..? After this update, can I still do it?
Don't update to any new HTC firmware updates, it will disable your interop unlock. Ignore it at all costs.
@sinister1: This is incorrect. It will disble many (pretty much all) of your apps that use interop-unlock (although *.*.51004.* has already crippled most of them), but it does not impact interop-unlock itself.
PLEASE do not mix what interop-unlock is with what apps that require it can do.

Okay, if you guys are brave enough to take that chance then go for it and upgrade then.
I'm not sure what system files you're asking about, to be honest... it's possible to read the \Windows folder (and that won't change) but it's not (on my system) possible to write to it using WPDM.

With "sytem files" I mean all the files I can't "normally" access (Windows folder, "Applications" folder). With new firmware can I still do it?
TouchXperience is not, at least on my (interop-unlocked) HD7, even a ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES app. It's not using the firmware drivers, just Microsoft's APIs. A firmware update is extremely unlikely to modify anything that TX or WPDM can do.
That said, if you specify a specific thing that you're trying to do, and ask if it will still work, I'd be able to give you a more concrete answer.

Yes, the specific thing I'm trying to do is: Copy, Edit and Delete files and folders with Windows Phone Device Manager ("Applications" folder and Windows folder).
It shouldn't *ever* have been possible to delete files from \Windows using the Mango version of WPDM... at least, it's only ever been read-only for me. Are you using the public version?

Sorry.. I mean delete files ONLY from Applications folder.. (with the App ID code).. So can I still do it after the update?
Oh yeah, sure (for sideloaded apps only, I assume you mean). That's a standard feature of the OS, intended to allow developers to modify the storage of their apps for testing purposes. You can use other tools, including one of Microsoft's own downloads, for that purpose.
I don't consider those "system" files at all though; they're data files installed by the user. If you can actually directly change the system files in any way using WPDM, that would be news.
