AndroidCentral release Windows Program allowing of sideloadig apps.

Like the title says. Jerry Hildenbrand over at AC has made an open source program for windows which allows for the sideloading of apps.
Thought I'd inform the Aria users since AT&T removed this ability from the stock rom.
Incase anyone here hasn't rooted yet, Works with non roted devices aswell.

Would love to hear feedback from anyone who uses this! I'll admit it, I'm too chicken-sh*t to be the first one.

I tried it on my xp computer, it didn't work properly. You have to install v4 .net framework. It did start up cmd window and brought it all the way to where I could install apk's adb style. HTC sync works well for htc phones. I think the Android Cental tool could work for other brands like Samsung, Motorola etc.

I never used it myself. I don't use Windows so I never tested it out. There is also a port for Linux and OS X. I may try it later,tho I've really no need for it honestly.

It worked for me on my non-rooted Aria installed Swype.

htc sync 3.0. something works on my wifes aria, but for the life of me can't get it to work with mine, so i been using that droid explorer.

Works Great
I rooted my Aria but didn't figure out the sideloading. Then came across this little "wonder machine". Its great for those who dont want to get to complicated; i.e. SDK tools

just use droidexplorer.

Im a complete Noob to Rooting and Sideloading and i've gotta say this little program made things very easy. i did just like another post and loaded swype....sweet....

Great app bit of a pain to figure out but by after getting it going it is very easy to use!

Installing Wonder Machine on xp
1. Install the latest version of HTC Sync, do not run it but install it for the drivers (htc.com/us/support/aria-att/downloads/)
2. Restart
3. Update Adobe AIR
4. Install .Net framework 4 (microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9cfb2d51-5ff4-4491-b0e5-b386f32c0992&displaylang=en)
Restart
5.Open and unpack ASW
6. Install to C drive (I ran this on a XP emulator and my desktop was a shared folder not sure if this is needed for all)
7. Place file to be installed in the same folder as the Wonder Machine app.
8. Set phone to charge only and turn on debugging mode
9. in ASW select file to be installed
10. Click go
Takes about 30 seconds to install and all is good works rooted or not

Noob To droid with new Aria, Am I correct in reading with this program I can install swype and swype will work without being rooted?
If so what version of swype do I need? and if not to big a pain where can I get it?
Ok with a little more reading figured out where to get swype sorry about my laziness,

sideloading
adb install <anything_you_want>.apk
no windoze app needed

The whole constant chatter about sideloading itself is too complicated... I mean, isn't it just a boolean value in a sqlite3 flat-file database that you flip?
no big deal

Seems its a bug atm. However, if anyone messages you even though you appear offline, you will get the message. Same with calls.

Hey guys. Have a problem with Skype. Recent update makes Skype only to Microsoft Account Sign in but I`m using different Skype accounts and don`t wanna merge them. So Is there any way to sideload old version of Skype? Found 2.13.0.290 but can`t sideload it. Application Deployment says "XAP file is invalid." and WPV XAP Deployer 2.0.0 says "Cannot read that as ZipFile". Same with current version available in store.
I have Lumia 620 with Black update and free unlock (2 apps I think).

You can't sideload XAPs from the store. Just connect one of your Skype accounts to a Microsoft account and problem solved...

You guys sideloading YouTube, right? Because there was good app. I need to use an older version of Skype whose allows me to login with my Skype creditenals instead of Microsoft one. I have found and tried "unlocked" Skype xaps with versions of 0.2.0.0, 1.0.0.0, 1.1.0.0. The most older version closes immidately after start and newer ones crashing when the cyan background appears. IM+ allows me to login with Skype but I can`t make voice calls through it.
So I need any version of Skype from 2.15.0.154 and lower that works with Lumia Black/GDR3 update. Maybe @AlvinPhilemon can help... And for sure I need non-interop version.

My point was that XAPs from the store are encrypted and thus can't be sideloaded, as you can only sideload plain unencrypted XAPs. How AlvinPhilemon obtained the unencrypted YouTube XAP is beyond me, but AFAIK the store encryption hasn't been broken yet, which leaves only the possibility of using either the XAP after it was installed (because they get decrypted after download) or taking the pre-installed one from the ROM (because those are also unencrypted).
Why is signing in with a Microsoft account such a problem for you in the first place? You need it to use most of the phone anyway, and as you've already experienced, older versions tend to have problems, so you will hardly get anything to work. And even if you do, there's always a possibility that Skype login still won't work in case MS changed something on their side.

Sadly I have no success with that
When I`m tricking a response with Fiddler, there is a c00cee3b error. I also tried to replace updated xap file on my SD card to outdated when install button is available on the SD card menu into marketplace. There is a constanly error during setup after 3/4 of the installing bar.

On interop-unlocked phones, it is possible (with some hacks) to extract the files for an app and re-build the .XAP archive. That's how the older YouTube version was resurrected.

I know. But there is also a problem with Skype xaps. Versions 0.2.0.0, 1.0.0.0 and 1.1.0.0 that I found unlocked are not working. v0.2.0.0 crashes immidately and newer ones shows cyan background before crash. There is also version 1.3.0.0 that have ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES string. Actual version 2.0.16.266 was "cracked" too and it also has that string.
I can`t install 1.3.0.0 and 2.0.16.266 versions on my Lumia 620 due to INTEROPSERVICES restriction and I can install 1.3.0.0 when ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES string is removed but it fails to work. It also crashing after the cyan background appears. 2.0.16.266 still gave an error after no ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES string but there is no reason for sideloading it - it`s available on the Marketplace and lacks of Skype account signing in support (people report that they still using their Skype account if they has been logged in in previous versions).

Give me old version of skype xap file. I'll do decrypt it.

Tried I way that @djamol send me in my PM (yes, I still hope to get an old xap working on my phone!)
If you can successful install a skype without Interop Capability, then you succeed !!!
Just follow my steps to add Interop capability again.
Move skype on the SD Card.
Remove SD Card from the phone.
Insert SD Card on PC through card reader.
Now go to an Installation directory of skype in WPSystem\Apps\{***}\Install
Delete the DRM Encrypted WMAppManifest.xml file.
Now put your decrypted.xml which is an enabled Interop Capability.

I was little skeptical because of WMAppManifest.xml file. An idea to replace it and get some good things was discussed long ago with FAIL.
But anyway I did tried his method. I had successfully replaced that file but just didn't get needed result. App still crashes after the blue background appears for a second or less. Then I tried to move an app back to internal memory and then weird thing happened. Looks like it was failed to transfer my app back with modded file and an operation stuck somewhere between. Skype has disappeared both from Internal and SD card apps list of the Data/Storage Control ("Контроль памяти" in Russian) and it`s icon on the regular app list (one with all apps listed, opens by start screen swipe) turns into grey with no logo on it. When I tried to start it there is loading... ("Загрузка..." in Russian) sign with dot animation appears. I has leaved it in that state for the whole night but nothing happens and the phone was even half-charged after it.
Finally I have found new xap "for Lumia 610" which is WP7 xap and successfully sideloaded it but it crashes after the blue background like the all I tried before. FAIL

you just cant replace files and hope for the best.
sometimes you can trick apps with changed icons but not with complete xml codepages.

WMAppManifest.xml is used at installation of the application, but not to start the application.

HTC Sync is Crap .. use windows Explorer to copy files too and from your phone
Airdroid is also nice for backing up your apps and SMS / contacts from your phone

thanks for your answer. The problem is: i want to have my itunes music on my htc one. and with the HTC Sync Manager i can do it without any problems, if the sync manager work
i tried other softwares, and with wondershare mobilego i usually can add my music from itunes to my android device, but unfortunately the program say, that i dont have itunes installed, but i have. With the Sync Manager, i dont have this problem. And the Sync Manager worked one year ago, but since i think 5 month, after an update from HTC Sync Manager, i have this problem. And i cant install an older version, because than the program says, that i have to install the newest version in order to backup my HTC etc.

Don't even get me started on itunes ...if you don't know where your music is located and you rely on these apps to find it for you, you need to spend some time learning computers.

I know exactly where my music is. But I don't want to copy all my music myself on my HTC one, Because my music is sorted by interpreters (windows explorer). I want to copy only some playlists on my HTC. And with the sync manager, this is not a problem. I dont want to create all the playlist on my own, i want to copy them on my HTC. I hope you understand what I mean My english is not very well
