I found solution to rename .xap to .zip and be able to edit .xap but It's not working. Probably new .xap's are encrypted. Any solution? Is there any tool for decompile?
XAPs themselves are still regular ZIP-Files. They get encrypted when they are uploaded to the Marketplace. Therefore you seem to try to crack Software downloaed from the Marketplace. There is currently no known way to make this happen.
If you have a developer-unlocked device, I thought you could sideload unsigned/self-signed xap files? I'm new to this whole Windows Phone thing though. I still need to set up a dev box with Windows 8 on it so I can write apps!

Side-load? Sure. If you have an SD card slot on your device. Be aware, that the device will still contact the store to double check the file, so you won't escape payment like this.
You need a Windows 8 PC to develop apps, and those you will be able to side-load once you get your phone registered. (Check this), but since browsing the file system is currently not possible, you still won't be able to access the side-loaded app.
The process to put Apps on the phone is like this:
1 XAP uploaded by Dev to the Store
2 XAP gets precompiled and encrypted
A3 XAP gets downloaded from the Store on the Device
or
B3 XAP gets downloaded from the Store Homepage and put on SD Card
B4 XAP gets selected for install from SD Card inside the Device
B5 Store is contacted to check the App license
6 device decrypts XAP
7 device installs App
So you can't decrypt Apps that have been downloaded from the Store. The whole key Management is currently only done on the device and to my knowledge not broken.
There is another path for App Installation if you have a developer unlocked device.
1 Write App
2 Package App in XAP file (this XAP is unencrypted and can either be uploaded to the Store where it would get encrypted or)
3 Deploy XAP to the unlocked device
4 Device accepts unsigned XAP due to developer unlock
5 App is installed
There are Tools that allow you to Access the Isolated Storage of Apps you have deployed using the developer unlock (look for Apps like the Windows Phone Power Tools). You can not deploy XAP files that are encrypted using that way though (protection against piracy).
I know all this tricks, and I'm using xap deployer to deploy xap and all of that.
I just want to know is here any way to hack or crack some xaps? Is here any black market to download cracked xaps?
so you said no way to extract XAP from Store. :/
No there isn't. But if you're looking for Warez you're at the wrong address anyway.

I found application that can recompile installed app back to .xap with no encryption.
But I can't install that excavated app.

Hello,
one of the biggest problems in bada app development is the lack of simple mechanisms to install apps to the handsets of beta-testers. There is a way to do this when the tester has installed the bada SDK on his pc, but i always thought it should be possible without it.
This is why i started to examine what the SDK does when you're running an app on the target device, and begun to recreate this mechanism. What i have now is a tool that installs in-development app on a handset. The tester only has to install the root certificate from the SDK on his phone, no need to download and install the whole SDK anymore.
Any interested app developer can contact me to get a copy of the tool for his own app for free! For security reasons, the tool has a hard-coded list of known apps that it can install, so there is no reason to offer it as direct download here.
The tool offers the possibility to restrict installation to handsets with certain IMEIS, as well as an expiration date after which the app can't be installed anymore.
Patrick
are you using some different method than broker.exe?? i have been using this exe file from sdk to distribute application for my clients.
No, what i ahve done is to watch what broker.exe does, and to rebuild that in my tool.
I'm really really excited...! This is my dream tablet, I've been waiting for this for over a month. And now its finally mine! But there is a problem, since I've no WiFi network in my house(for now), how can I install applications. I know the android applications are .apk format, but I don't know from where to download them. I got the file manager HD .apk file but I don't know how to install it. Please help!
Youll have to root your tablet then you can install apks locally. Alternatively you can try easy installer. You will need a internet connection as its required by the Market to install apps.

I don't think you have to root to install apps locally... as long as you have the unknown sources option checked, you can install apps from wherever you want. If you have a desktop with internet that you can get to, you can download the apk's from various torrent sites, and I think there is a web version of the android market? I'm sure there are other places as well, just search on Google. anywhooo, then just transfer the file over to your A500 via the USB cable or flash drive, and open the file through the app manager option that pops up when you tap on it, then click install.
I have had no problem download APKs onto my desktop computer and then putting them on a Micro SD card to use on the A500 without having to root anything.
u can use Docs to go to navigate to .apk on your tablet and launch instal from there. Thats my way)

Congrats on getting your Inconia!
For apps like the filemanager you could just download them from the Android marketplace, then they would install themselves. Otherwise, place them on your sd card if you're downloading to your PC first. Apps will also install if they are in your download folder on the tablet (say for example, if you download from the dev's website or email them to yourself as an attachment).
One thing you might have to do first is check the setting that allows you to install "unsigned" third-party app. I believe it's: Setting->Applications->Unknown Sources.
From what I understand, there's not much concern of installing something harmful anymore (for which this setting was designed to protect against), but I could be wrong. Just be careful who you are getting the app from if it's not from the market, a dev's site or a reputable person here at the forum.
That's my $.02 Have fun!
Just get a home network!
Enjoy your Iconia....I love mine!
Congratulations
- No need to root for installing apk, just check the checkbox (the Iconia will told you what you have to do anyway)
- Get a wifi quick
Need Moboplayer and A good office editor
Hi, I still need few days to set up my WiFi network at home, in the mean time, can any one share any direct download link to .apk files like moboplayer and a good office editor?

Open up the marketplace, search for the app and download/buy it. Alternatively, you can use the windows phone store website and download the .xap file there, put it on a microSD and put that in your phone.
For apps that you developed yourself, or that somebody else developed, you can install the WP8 SDK on a Win8 PC and use the Windows Phone Developer Registration tool to dev-unlock your phone (assuming you have a dev account, which is an annoying restriction) and then use the App Deployment tool (or Visual Studio) to send the app to the phone. This can only be done with apps which are not from the store, though.
Hallo all. As we all know a few days ago we are able to upgrade our wp8 devices to gdr3 preview using Preview for Developers XAP from Store. I was waiting to see if anyone would give an idea about Interop unlocking using that app but nothing, so I m giving.
When you install XAP and check the box, application edit one line in registry, exactly HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\
We already have XAP content uploaded here by @WithinRafael
When I make it XAP and want to install it on my HTC 8s show me error, probably because this is ATIV S version.
The basic idea would be if we could remake the application and make that instead of the this registry, change one other for unlocking. Maybe we will have permission if that is possible to remake. Tell me if I m wrong, maybe I am because I m new here. I just want to share this with you.
The problem is that the xap requires interop-unlock to be able to sideload it. That's why you can't deploy it back to your 8S. When things get delivered from the store, they are processed differently and are inherently "trusted" vs when you sideload an app on a dev-unlocked device. Another example of this is Microsoft's native Youtube app...If you install it from the store, it works fine. If you try to sideload a decrypted version of the xap, it fails to load because it uses "ID_CAP_MEDIALIB_PHOTO_FULL", which is not available via normal dev unlock.
Yep! App from Store can have ANY CAPs, cause those are checked by MS.
Sideloaded apps on DevUnlocked phone can have any of the 3rd party CAPs.
Sideloaded apps on InteropUnlocked phone can have any of the 2nd party (OEM) CAPs.
Sideloaded apps on RootUnlocked phone can have any of the 1st party (MS) CAPs.
I prefer to call it "capability unlock rather than "root unlock" simply because we don't yet have "root" permissions for most purposes, but the point stands. And I'm working on that permission issue!
Hi everyone,
Microsoft recently stopped supporting/removed from the store the Photosynth app.
I currently have this installed on my Lumia 1020 (developer unlocked) and would like to find some way of exporting/backup the Photosynth app so that I can re-install it should I need to reset my phone (currently running Windows 10 mobile 10.0.10166.0).
I've read some of the posts on the site and the impression I'm getting is the answer will be no (or at least not just yet - saw a post that someone is releasing an interops workaround with the Win10M release).
However my questions are:
Is there a way to get to the Photosynth app on the phone and extract it to the PC for re-install at a later time?
I did manage to find a link (https:__web_archive_org_web_20141004155439_http:__www_windowsphone_com_en-gb_store_app_photosynth_ef860a79-5f68-4ed6-aa21-c038d1a55517) that downloads the Photosynth app from the store (via web browser - http:__cdn_marketplacecontent_windowsphone_com_public_ad68f520-cd34-4ebf-947e-e92173f5b946?downloadname=photosynth_xap), although this file seems to be encrypted (which I believe is the norm for store apps now), but is there some way I can still install it to the phone? I'm not really interested in decrypting the file or anything like that (unless that's the only way to accomplish what I want to do), I just want a copy of the app for re-installation purposes (which if Microsoft had left in the Store even though it was retired wouldn't have been an issue, but I understand why they do it).
Thanks all.

you need phone with SD card and developer or interop unlock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...-vcreg-lumia-reg-editor-live-interop-t3135326
after dev/interop unlock, just with file manager (Aerize Explorer for example) go to D:\WPSystem\apps\ef860a79-5f68-4ed6-aa21-c038d1a55517\Install\ and copy content of this folder to other folder (for example downloads)... compress files to zip and copy to computer... now come part which not allowed on XDA (patching)
P.S:
check your PM
Can can youa alos pm me the steps

dxdy,
Could you PM me the instructions on how to patch? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
the repackaged photosynth.xap file is available by searching the internet. When properly repackaged, the contents of the xap file can be viewed in a file archive utility such as 7zip. I was able to sideload PhotoSynth into my Lumia 925 this way. The original copies of the xap files that aren't repackaged will not successfully open in the Windows Phone Application Deployment tool. File size: original=4067KB, repackaged=4045KB for your reference.
Could someone please pm me the steps or the patched version from the photosynth app too? Thanks.
EDIT: Got it.
Just went to my library (previously installed apps and games) list in the store and there I've founded the latest Photosynth version. Just installed it from there and now I have it.
