Hey All,
After updating to 7720, via Following both users: HD2-WP7 & YukiXDA
I have seem to have stumbled upon an issue, seeing as I seem to either have a program that can't install any sideloaded apps into build 7720, or I installed the ENTIRE process incorrect three times, and missed a step...
I've tried both TOM's XAPS v1 & v2... But both give me an connection error, which I've seen many times before, before I ever got my phone dev unlocked...
So which programs do you guy's use to install xaps?
multixap install works like a charm
wAppStore inter alia, can also to install XAP
... but of course , if you're interested, I can remove the installer section and create application to install only XAP ;-)
Did you do a hard reset after updating from 7712 to 7720? XapDeployX works fine here (but so does Tom's XAP installer)
Install XAP by wAppStore
You can on page "LocalStore" drag you XAP file on disk (see attached image) and after that to install you device.
here is thread about wAppStore http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245206
Finally released first beta version

All of them are working on HD2.
Feel free to push Thanks.

Drive is zipped due to xap size attachement limits. Just unzip it, xap inside.
I can get Nokia drive to work but the others are labelled here as xap files on forum but are zips when downloaded?

Dear jpneves1978,
an xap file is an xap file before and after download. If you do not have any spec program assosiated to xap file type like "Tom XAP Installer" than Windows by default will recognise it as some kind of compressed file pack, what it realy is.
If you have winzip or some other zip program installed it might assosiate the program's icon and link it to every kind of compressed file pack.
My suggesstin for you to try download and install the programs directly onto your phone, if you are usiong a kind of ROM what has xap install feature in IE9.

i had the same problem even though i have xap installer on my PC etc...
When you download the above files they are saved as zip and not xap.
What i did is upload them onto an ftp server and from their changed the file extension from zip to xap then downloaded them onto my computer.
quite a pain but that worked for me.

OEM Apps
You can access Nokia and all OEM Marketplaces by following this thread:

it is very easy, just install xap attached to thread, restart and after, you see 'nokia collection' or 'Samsung Zone' etc.. in your Marketplace

Thanks A Lot Dude For Bringing All Together.
It really is scary when I read posts on topics as basic as file types and file type association and what to do with xap files or zipped files and messing around with tweaking phones.
If XAP's are not associated with an installer like Tom's XAP Installer then right click the xap file, select Open With..., go to Choose Default Program, select Tom's XAP installer or whichever installer you use, and confirm the Always Use box is checked...click OK.
Thanks for the XAP post magdan83!
Strange Error
If you could help me. I've got At&t World Phone Samgung Focus with Windows 7.5
I was successfully able to deploy the Nokia Drive 2.0, Nokia Transit Beta without any problem and the apps works like a charm. However, when I try to deploy the latest Nokia Transit or Nokia creative studio it gives the error code 0x81030120. Can anyone help me with this.
Ive loved these Nokia apps but Im very keen to get;
Nokia Contacts Transfer
Nokia Network Usage
I have downloaded but they wont deploy...is anyone able to resolve/patch these or direct me how to?
Thanks
Is there a way to use Nokia Navigation without internet connection?
SOLVED:
Looks like since the latest update to v2.0 you can use it fully offline.
That's correct Rosetti but you may need to go online to search a destination and can then navigate offline. Better than HTC Locations isn't it? And FREE!
Sent from my HD2 using Board Express
Awesome post.. Thank you

All the apps install great on HTC surround windows 7.8 , but Nokia transit force closes everytime, thanks for maps , drive and creative studio though amazing job my kudos to you

MODeviceName: HTC Surround change to Lumia 800
- OemName: HTC change to NOKIA

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.

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.
Hi Guys,
Can Anyone guide me please how to install XAP handler in nokia lumia 520.
* I cannot install themes from the windows market
* I cannot find the XAP file on SD card or internal memory
can only find the way the fix above problem is to install xap handler BUT I couldn't, so please Guide me
Xap Handler is a WP7 homebrew app; even if you can install it on WP8 it won't work. You're wasting your time trying.
To install WP8 homebrew apps (there are a few, though most are for the ATIV S as that's the only phone that has been interop-unlocked so far) or development XAPs, use the Applicaiton Deployment tool app that comes with the WP8 SDK (same process as for WP7). To install Store apps, get them from the store directly or put them on an SD card (using your PC) and insert it into the phone; this still requires a valid license from the Store.
Oh, and FFS, search before posting. "Install XAP on WP8" is not a hard search!
i have a nokia lumia 520 dev unlocked i am using xap deployer 2.0 when i try to deploy certain xap it says cant open as a zip file even though its not how to fix this
Sounds like you're trying to deploy a Store app. Those can't be sideloaded from a PC. If you have an SD card in your phone, move the .XAP onto the SD card and you might then be able to install it from the Store app in the phone (without needing to download it from the Store directly). You'll still need to buy it if its a paid app that you didn't already pay for, by the way.
Also, un-encrypted (that is, non-store) XAP files are indeed ZIP archives. They just have to contain some specific files (WMAppManifest.xml, for example) and they have a different extension.
