[Q] How install XAP on LG E900?

Hey,
My LG E900 is the OS version: 7.10.8107.79. And I want to unlock it take to install applications and games XAP. I used the method by MFG, I put XAP in a Tom XAP Installer to install, and gives me this error when installing:
-Please Make sure your phone was unlocked !
-Please Make sure you connected device to PC and Zune launched
Try again?
What happening? This method does not it? You can get the original ROM and remain the ChevronWP7 up to this latest version? I have another way?
Thanks in advance and sorry my english!
PS: I can put original Rom, install ChevronWP7 and remain to Last Version (7.10.7740/7.10.8107, or other)?

Use the official Xap installer tool "Application Deployment" that comes with the SDK. The third-party installers are plagued with bugs and bad error messages. Many of them also require at least a few components from the SDK, even if they say otherwise.
If you want to make sure that the phone is ready to receive apps, try synching a file to it from Zune - Zune must be running and synched with the phone for XAP deployment.

The Solution my friend is to buy them from the market place
This is the only solution, firstly because this is XDA developers and piracy isn't tolerated
Secondly, MS encrypted the marketplace which stopped the use of these programs for any legitimate or illegitimate reasons. So, Buy them.
If you have brought them an you are wanting a backup of the XAP then this is still possible, XAPs can be made from installed apps.

decrypted official programs from marketplace

yup, this should let you backup installed apps as XAPs allowing you to install them In one go later, it also seems to backup the data sections of these apps too.
Ive yet to play with this but it seems like a good idea, I was helping a chap months ago with something like this but was PC based. Its very handy but you have to wonder if it wouldn't be better just to make a complete zune backup...

Thanks for your reply, Program Manager, all backups save score games ? ^^
If yes you are the best !

I tried to download the certificate on my phone with no luck
I'll be thankful for anyone who helps me :highfive::highfive::highfive:

Hi,
I just want to register at Windows Phone App Studio and asking for a invitation code that requesting from Microsoft and after three days still haven't received.
Does anyone know where to get or how to get a invite?

Your devices will still need to be unlocked using the Windows Phone SDK. It doesn't matter if you use the WP7 or the WP8 SDK, they both have the stuff to Developer Unlock your WP7.5/7.8 devices. Your phone will need to be connected via USB for the unlock and the deployment of your apps. The app generated from the site will need to be downloaded and installed to your phone using the Application Deployment tool on yopur computer. Just make sure it says Device instead of emulator when deploying.

[Q] How to open or Deploy original XAP into WP7

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.

[Q] How to run QEMU(latest version) for virtualising windows on android ?

Has anyone been able to compile qemu 1.7 version and run windows image as qcow2 on android..??
I am facing some problem, mostly in GUI part of qemu.
Android kills the limbo-qemu process (1.7 version ) after it has launched, Dont know why it is killing it. Even tried to increase the ram in qemu for the windows image.
If you need more specific details in helping me out, please let me know.
Regards
Kushal

Question
Where did you find a link to download Limbo based off Qemu 1.7? I was wanting to try it myself but it looks like the Google code link is down.
