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!!~~

Get the game's ".apk" file from any website. Then install this ".apk" file on your mobile. Now open the game, then it will ask you to download the data... Now download the data from the option given in the app. When data is completely downloaded... your game will start.
If you have already downloaded the data from any other source then place it in Android>>data folder of your SD Card.

Brother I dont know about gta but I play lots of gameloft and other high end games. after u place the data file in correct folder and open the game it doesnt actually downloads the file but verifies the file so let the download start if u see that it is downloading then cancel after 1-2 mb.but it would just verify file and then proceed as it should

I hv pasted the files at corrct place as the sites recmmanded

Install the game from the .apk file and then open the game. After you open the game It will ask you to download data... download data there only and your game will run.

UC browser trick for solving Retry download problem.

Here's a trick for users who want to resume their downloads on UC for files whose download link has changed.
1. Backup the 2 files from your download folder. One will be the download file and other a file with the same name with added .temp extension to it. This step is for retaining original file if anything goes wrong.
2.Download. Download the file whose link has changed again.
3. After it has downloaded a little,say 1 kb pause it.
4. Exit UC Browser.
5. Goto the download folder and rename the older 2 files(download file and .temp file) with the names of the newer ones. This can be done only after you delete the new files.
6. Open UC Browser and start the download of the new file. It will be download from the point it had stopped earlier. That is, you will be able to download from the point from where the old file had stopped.

Thx this might help me

Thanks again.
PS: Current version of UC browser doesn't use temp files but uses ".cfg" file

Unable to make heroes 3 hd game unpack obb files

Hello,
I switched to s21 ultra few days ago, and i am facing a problem with heroes 3 hd game.
Iused zarchiver to be able to access data and obb folders, i put obb folder there, i installed the heroes 3 apk as usual, but it says that failed to unpack files.
Any one have an idea how to make this working,
Thanks

Obb is not an Android installation package. It's an application's data file.
You manually have to place APK's obb-folder into Android/data/obb.

I know, as i said on andoird 11 and 12 it didnt work the apk says "Failed to unpack".
same apk and obb on android 10 are working fine.
the game is Heroes 3 HD

I might have figured out a solution. Testing now/tonight. I figured that if it's "unpacking" something, that means it's extracting files. Since Android 11 and more so with 12, Google locked down storage access with scoped storage. Thinking the app doesn't have write permissions to "unpack" the files where they need to go.
So... I installed everything on my old Nexus 9 running Android 8.1. The storage issues aren't there. It unpacked just fine. So I looked for the unpacked files. In the storage location Android/Data/ubisoft.heroesandmightandmagic (whatever the folder name is), the obb files have been extracted to several folders and game files. I'm zipping these right now and next I'll be copying them to my Samsung S22+ on Android 12 and extracting the files where they should go. Crossing my fingers this is the solution. If it is, I need to think about how to distribute the unpacked files for others to use.
EDIT: Well... that didn't work.... sorry to get excited.

hello. I have similiar isues on my smasung Tab S8 and i have theory why it doesnt work. Idk about android 11 but check what android 12 are you running, there is android 12 and 12l variant. My phone samsung S10e with android 12 managed to unpack the game (i have insrted file with obb to android/obb and empty com.heroes..... file to android/data) u can try it but not sure if it wasnt just luck. But it could theoreticaly be by smaller screen? could it be that game itself could run scan and if requrments are met it will unpack? about alternatives VCMI has reaaaaly dumb AI and exagear strategies runs great BUT! you have only 3day trail and unable to purchase unlimited time (exagear strategies can by fixed by third party software withour rooting device but the app is uses root it self and is huge security risk so i am not fan of that)

sooo yeah

I also found out that the heroes 3 have problem with androi/data. If you extract obb files (app data) into com.heroes...... file in android/data (created manualy) and past it there it is linked with the game (small icon on the file) but wont increase size of the game if you check it so the problem might just be android/data on some devices.

alright. if you want heroes III but there is not any way of making it work then i recommend exagear windows emulator. its a longer procces then exagear strategies but gets the job done and gameplay is great and without paying (with S-pen gameplays is MUCH better that original Homm3 HD port). You need 3 things: exagear APP and OBB, Homm 3 (MUST be instalation files) restoration of earthia, shadow of death, complete or even horn of the abys (they are compatible with Homm 3 HD launcher) and lastly Homm 3 HD mod launcher(same here only instalation file) (it will fix crashing and add some nice features even online multiplayer : ) ,setup: 1. instal exagear app 2. open and close 3. put its OBB into android/OBB/exagear 4. put your Homm 3 and Homm 3 HD mod launcher instalations files into download folder 5. open exagear and press manage containers 6. then click on three dots and proceed: properties, 32 bit and turn off last three options 7. again three dots and press run browser 8. you will se files browser, INSTAL Homm 3 (homm3 setup/autorun) 9. then instal Homm3 HD mod 10.open HD mod launcher and press create HD exe . enjoy : )
If you somehow strugle check some videos on YT or ask me!

Lets goo

I accidentally found a solution. I wanted to manually extract the .obb files (which I never did) so I downloaded ZArchiver from Google play. Then I opened one of the .ogg files with the extractor and in the process the app asked for more permissions to the Android/ogg folder. Then I couldn't figure outo how to extract the files and I gave up. Then I tried the launcher again for some reason and it extracted The files and launched the game. So I guess the problem, atleast for me was insufficient permissions on Android/ogg folder. I'm running Android 11.
