[Q] Dev. unlock your WP8 w/ XP or Vista? - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, as the title says,
Is there a way to Dev. unlock your WP8 using XP or Vista? I tried to download the SDK for WP8, but it tells me I need W8 to run it. Any work around?
Thanks

Given that you would need a paid developer account to developer unlock the phone I would guess that you would want to develop for WP8 and for that you would need Windows 8 anyway.

I already have my student account. But, I guess you're saying no point in having my phone dev. unlocked because I need W8 to create programs anyway.
Thanks for the reply.

Usually, if you have a student account, you also have free windows 8...

p2p software like limewire for andriod?

p2p software like limewire for andriod? is this possible i think it is just not avaliable is anyone working on this ? or willing too ?
well theres a photoshop mobile for most phone so who knows if there will be a mobile limewire or ares
i dont see why it wouldnt be possible especially with 3g, but it would probably violate some sort of data service contract agreement that tmobile gives you
its been done on iphone already and windows mobile theres pleanty of software p2p but just not for android iam sure someone will make it soon but i think it will not appear on the andriod market place and t-mobile wont care they just enjoy getting there money every month
Call me stupid, what would you use limewire on a phone, for?
Exclude the obvious

There is andtorrent that lets you download torrents
1 - Gnutella sucks
2 - No reason except the obvious to use this, Gnutella isnt a means of legal distribution, BitTorrent can and is actually used for a legal means, fairly often too.
3 - there already are BT clients for android, but AFAIK, none are very good, check out ABTC on the Market.

Official WP7 Unlock Coming Soon

http://www.chevronwp7.com/post/6629433362/announcing-chevronwp7-labs
This is incredible.. finally Microsoft is waking up!
It’s been a while since we posted something. Between fixing state machines and avoiding the paparazzi, we have been busy tinkering with Microsoft behind the scenes.
As you may remember, one of our goals was to make Windows Phone development more accessible. Plans have recently solidified and we can now reveal a solution we’ve been working on.
As announced on the Windows Phone Dev Podcast, we will soon be launching an approved Windows Phone unlocking service as part of ChevronWP7 Labs. This will be available to developers across all skill levels and all regions

Big Yes!

Microsoft finally to support him
wait, one has to pay to use the unlocker? Or did I read that all wrong?
EDIT: Nope I read right
The service will require a small fee — currently via PayPal — to offset costs but we assure you it will be more affordable than the App Hub. Those who wish to write and immediately publish apps are recommended to sign up to the App Hub instead.

It is not MS themselves who are making this. It is a developer who is creating this tool and MS is supporting it.
If you cant find it in yourself to support the developer for this awesome tool then stay locked and dont complain.
dev unlocking a phone is hardly a jailbreak. we still cant even run native apps

[Request] 6tindr 1.2 xap

Hey,
I am really enjoying Rudy Huyn's genius Tinder client 6tindr since he published it, but I didn't catch the last update before it was pulled tonight.
Is there anybody here who has got the update installed on a Samsung device? This would be really cool, as probably a lot of people like Tinder and want the new features!
If any doubt about posting this here or any help is needed with getting your hands on the app's files, feel free to contact via personal message.
Thanks,
fadenfisch

Seconded. I'd love to be able to get the update.
Agreed! I have a dev unlocked phone... if I got ahold of the latest xap, could I install that? Or would I need at least an order version and then update it with the new xap?
Because I never had 6tindr to begin with!

It needs some work... but some dude developed it and posted the source all for free, so it's hard to complain. One thing I don't like is that he used a third party binary library in it. Maybe that can be written out in the future. But all the logic is there and I think the library would function without the telerik libraries.
Tinder is offering Rudy to talk now. Lets hope this will end positively for us

Could someone at least post v 1?
Found windowsphone dot com/en-us/store/app/6tindr/4c82cb8c-0a25-4e57-a094-a075b0e01209
Download link at the bottom, but says XAP file is invalid :/
That other tinder app is complete crap and crashes every third picture.
I'd request this xap not to be spread around. Tinder is providing a service and they have the right to lock out other apps. But they are showing signs to work together with Rudy to bring us tinder on Windows Phone so I think the best way to show them we appreciate their willingness to work with the community to respect their decission of preventing the app to be spread.
just my 2cents

yep, by now i can only agree. Rudy Huyn is gonna talk to the CEO of Tinder and I'm pretty sure they are going to work something out. Also, Tinder 1.2 wouldn't even work, as somehow all messages are blocked and Tinder without messaging just isn't any fun

Yes, they're encrypted. You could install it from an SD card, but that still requires getting a decryption key for the xap from the store. The store won't give them out for apps that aren't listed.

Looks like it's not coming any time soon.
Time to get back to the topic. Maybe someone can get the 1.2 xap, and tweak it...

Guys 6tinder 1.2 xap can be found here:

Now can anyone remove the encryption so it can be sideloaded on dev unlocked phones?

[Q] Any keylogger for Windows Phone 8?

I am looking for a keylogger for my Lumia 920.
Any ideas?
No.
(do I *dare* ask why?)
WP8 apps cannot intercept (or inject) input to other apps. You could log keypresses in your own app, but not across the OS (including in any other app, browser, etc.)

thx a lot
The Windows RT forum is over there, thanks. This is the Windows Phone forum.
Answer is probably the same though.

There isn't any and probably won't be any due to the way the OS is built.
I'm going to close this thread as we shouldn't even be discussing any sort of methods to hijack the privacy of others.

[Q] Do I need to purchase a Dev account to deploy apps?

Hi, I just finished a phonegap application that I want to deploy in a Lumia520, but I've been trying without success because it says that my phone is locked. I read on the microsoft site, that I can do this by using the registration tool, but I get an error related to the Windows Dev account, I tried to create one but it charges me $20 for it, my question is, is it necessary to deploy apps? if so, what do I do with the clients' phones? I would provide them the XAP, but, would they have to unlock their phones as well? I would appreciate your help, thanks!

Your Welcome,
Yes, in this case you have to Purchase it to Deploy the App to your Phone to Test it, and to Publish your App to Store, so that your Clients can Easily Install your App from the Store.

Thanks! what If I don't want to publish it to the store (it's an internal use app) what do I have to do (after purchasing my account) so the clients can install the XAP provided by me directly? Thanks!

No, if you give them the XAP then they should also have their phone unlocked.
You have to publish your app to store, so that your Clients can install it.
I think there is an option to undiscover you app from the store, so no one can see it, people can only be able to install is using the URL you have provided to them.

Got it, well, I'll have to convice them then, so by uploading the application to the store, they don't have to have their phones unlocked right? by the way, I just purchased the account, but I don't know when is the expiration date, I have one from Android that never expires, I hope this one is the same, thanks!

Yes, if you publish your app to store they can easily install it like normal app (example facebook app).
