Locations offline navigation by HTC

Locations is now available for HTC WP7 devices for offline navigation. You can use Wi-Fi to download maps for many (most) regions around the world. You must connect to a charger to download.
The description is "Find your way with directions or voice guidance. You can download maps to your phone for offline use, or search and browse online maps when you're connected."
Current version is Locations_v2.1.0.0.xap
Rename files to:
Locations_v2.1.0.0.7z.001
Locations_v2.1.0.0.7z.002
ie take .7z from end of filename

.002 is giving me a 404 File not found...can you re-up?

fixed. please try again

Also could try this:

Thanks!

if you have HTC device, or dont know how to handle with attachments, no need to download this, simple go to marketplace, HTC Apps and download from there
or for other devices, use wAppStore for PC or WP7
PC

WP7 XAP

After renaming how do I copy to HD2? It's not a .xap file.

Extract with WinRAR or similar on PC then deploy. Id suggest you take dxdy's suggestions above instead though.

Yes, extra with a compression program WinRar, Winzip, 7-zip
Then deploy using a .xap deployer such as XAPDeploy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016766
Connect USB, fire up Zune, then deployer and load xap

Having a free GPS app like the one in Lumia phones, was my only reason to have an unlocked ROM. Now i think i'll keep my actual ROM (XBmod-Yuki). Congrats to HTC for having this app available to all.

As dxdy said if you have HTC device the easiest way is to go to market.

Depends I what you want.
I prefer to have an .xap that I can load if/when I change to a different rom. I don't always want all .xap apps installed right away.
Downloading a file this each time from the marketplace would take considerable time.
That's why I went to the effort of making it available

is many tools to download xap from marketplace to PC....
i also suggest one...

It works, just need to decompress to get the .xap.

Yes, then just download the maps that you want.

I have an LG Optimus 7. Is there any way that I can install this app? I tried installing aAppStore from the link mentioned earlier in my Windows 7 laptop but I keep getting an error message before the app starts and it closes instantly... I also tried visiting the wAppStore.xap using the web browser of my mobile phone but I got a message that this type of file is not supported by my phone.
Any detailed help would be more than welcome!

Sorry, cant help. That's why I put this in the HD2 forum. It's a HD2 release, so I guess it will need some work to get it to work on an LG

why not install xap file with XAPDeployX? XAP install via IE is only for HTC devices with DFT custom ROM....
did your phone unlocked (Chevron or interop)? did you have .net Framework 4 and WP SDK installed on PC?
did your Zune running and synced with phone when try run wAppStore on PC?
P.S.
my advice: use Nokia Drive 2.0 if you can use this app.... is much better than Locations....

Thank you for the detailed reply. I just got the phone a week ago, so I am not familiar with all these apps and ways to install xap files. The phone is not unlocked.
I guess I will have to do a research on the apps that you mention, hoping that they would work (for example Nokia maps is bot available for my Optimus 7 through the marketplace).
Thanks again and apologies for the off-topic!

[Q] Lumia 535 App installation problem

Hi...
I am having problem with my Lumia 535 in installing application from SD card. I manually downloaded many apps from Microsoft site & copied it to SD card. But when i try to install it, it shows ("Can't install company app. There's a problem with company app. Contact your company's support person for help"). Also when i try to install any app from Microsoft site directly, it takes me to the login page saying "Because you're accessing sensitive info, you need to verify your password." after login when I click the Get App button i get the msg "We tried sending a download request to your phone, but we did not receive a response from your phone.

Re: Lumia 535 App installation problem
Hello there arun_9847,
I think that the type of SD card that you are using might not be supported by Lumia 535 unless; it’s a class 4 SD card. Nonetheless, I hope these below-mentioned links can help you sort your problem. I would also suggest that you keep the Mobile Network activated and your phone connected to the PC or Laptop using a USB cable while installing the apps from your SD Card.
appsforlumia.com/how-to-install-applications-from-my-sd-card/
windowsphone.com/en-in/how-to/wp8/apps/how-do-i-install-apps-from-an-sd-card
microsoft.com/en-in/mobile/support/product/lumia535-dual-sim/smartguidance/?action=singleTopic&topic=GUID-16ADFF26-E34A-429F-A6BF-9D9826C1D7BF-8_10_1
In case if these above links do not help, you should visit a nearby Lumia store.

If the apps are Store apps (i.e. you downloaded them from windowsphone.com) just use the Store on the phone. You can download apps right there, or you can install them off of the SD card from there too (expand the App Bar at the bottom, choose "install local apps").
If they are company apps (from your employer or something), you need to open them on the phone. If they're already in your phone's SD card, use a file browser (there isn't one built in, but there are a bunch of free ones on the store) to open the .XAP files (same way you'd open a .doc file in Word). Alternatively, visit the website on the phone and download them that way; this will let you open the apps (and install them) directly. You could also email them to yourself, and open the attachments on the phone. Again, this only works for company apps.
If they are developer apps (i.e. not yet published), you have to use the Windows Phone Application Deployment tool (it's free, but it's part of the Windows Phone SDK, which is a big download). Connect the phone via USB, open the deployment tool, select the .XAP file to install, and hit the Install button.

If you manually download apps from microsoft store then copy it to your sd card and then open store then open menu in menu select install local apps it will show the apps compatible with your device.
If the app you are trying to install is of older version it will detect it as not compatible.
And when you try to install from windows store it ask for your password cause someone might try to download paid apps from your account and which might cause you money.
and make sure you turn on "send apps directly to my phone via push notification" this can be found under find my phone setting

VEVO xap for sideloading?

Does anyone have the vevo xap for sideloading? I don't want to lose the app when I change phones or do a factory reset :'(
sent from my denim licious orange nokia 930

Does it even still work? Sounded like they were dropping support for it, not merely de-listing the app.
Not that it would surprise me if it does; I never installed it in the first place so I can't check.

It still works
Everyone advises to just not uninstall it from your phone but what happens if I need to do a hard reset or when I buy my next device?Someone has to have an unsigned xap. I asked Rafael on twitter but because its such public forum he didn't respond but he sometimes drops xaps that are able to side load kong after they're gone
So does anyone have the vevo xap?

i have the xap
@GoodDayToDie if I email it to you can you crack it?

If it's pulled right off the phone, sure; that's a really simple change.
If it's pulled off the store (DRM encrypted) then no, that's an excruciatingly complex wall of nonsense.

ok here it is

Taking a peek now.

Peek where?
@thals1992 look where the store?

Oh taking a peek
Sorry it's 6am a little sleepy

Its the XAP from the store. Encrypted....

Fudge is there anyone out there with the app already installed?
Can anyone else patch the xap?

the xap posted cant be patched.
only one from the phone can be patched.

does anyone else have the app on their phone?
If you have the app on you phone will you please patch it? I'll even donate!

ok the app is on my phone can i patch it? also i have an old patched xap too
@ceesheim @GoodDayToDie @thals1992
ok I have the app on 2 of my phones an HTC 8X and a nokia 930, I read a tutorial to patch an xap but you need a phone with an sd card, is that the way to get the app off my phone, but neither have sd card slots, with that being said is there still a way to patch the app that's on these phones? I am also uploading an old wp7 version of the vevo app that I downloaded off of winphonhub, its patched and works fairly well with occasional error message, can this patched xap help you patch a more current one?
also id like to add I have 2 windows phones 635 and 830 with sd card slots, this may sound like a silly question, can I put the current marketplace xap onto the sd card and patch it from within the phone? or does it need to be installed on the phone too as well? (which unfortunately they are not installed on my sd card slot phones)

it MUST be installed on a phone with an sd card so that you can move the app to the sd card, then you can get the app of the phone and patch it.
if it isn't installed on your 830 then the xap only will not help you because the market place checks if the app is there , if it isn't then it will not let you install the the app
there are some hardcore ways to get the app of your x8 but that is only for real advanced users like @compu829 , because you need to actually brick your phone to enable mass storage mode . there are some threads about that.

@noelito if you upgrade your L930 to Windows Phone 10, there is a simple way for you to get the xap off of the device for backup!

i can definitely upgrade the L930 to w10 tp
@compu829 ok how to back up the xap? where is the tutorial? I am looking for the way to upgrade non supported devcies to windows 10 phones, I should be good to go because I have noupgrade the windows insider app

is this the link? and when do i do the back up / extract?
ok I found this thread @compu829
http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10/general/howto-install-windows-10-phones-t3030105
do I follow the instructions on this thread to install windows 10 on my 930?
however at what point am I able to extract the vevo app and patch, when do I do that?

I was thinking about having you update your phone and then using the following trick to access c:\ on the phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...ranted-c-access-windows-10-technical-t3032766 I know that your model is supported in the next version of the preview when it is released.

@compu829 yes I read the Lumia icon will be supported for windows 10 tp but they didn't mention 930 could have been inadvertently left out, I think I have done this before, if you are able to give step by step instructions im even open to doing a remote access to my PC if you wanted to do it for me or guide me as I go a long doing it

Sideloading apps unpublished apps possible?

I recently bought a treasure tag and had to see that the WP app is no longer published, meaning this useful piece of plastic is not usable for me right now. I was able to find the original app as .XAP and .APPX-BUNDLE but since that app was once published, it is now encrypted and can't be sideloaded without getting error messages.
Is there any way to get the app working again? I basically need a XAP deployment tool which is able to "pirate" these extensions so that I can use my treausre tag finally.
Is there any tool out there or did one of you maybe made a homebrew version of that app ?

is possible if you have patched version of app...
talked about this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8/help/qa-photosynth-microsoft-store-t3182245

but Treasure Tag app is still in Store... maybe you not look carefully
install SysApp Pusher and under Microsoft Mobile - Tools, is Treasure Tag app...

I tried getting an shortcut from the removed Device Hub app and it was successfully, but launching Treasure Tag from the was not greated with any success, I guess it's for whatever reason not deployable on WM10 yet.
I may roll back to 8.1 GDR3, install treasure tag and upgrade to WM10 again, maybe this will work

How to deploy WhatsApp Beta XAP?

I was able to download latest WhatsApp Beta xap from old Windows Phone Store. However, when I try to deploy, any soft that I use show an error with header file or damaged zip file. What's wrong? Is it an encrypted xap? If so, How should I do to unsigned and deploy correctly on my phone? (I know I have to root my mobile, but the problem is with file itself).
Thanks in advance.

Upload here.

yes it's encrypted xap, deploy via SD

Can you tell me how to open it?

If is cripted, you cant. If not, you have to erase one file inside archive. WMAppPRHeader.xml

So, how to deploy it? Just putting the xap in SD card?
Edit. It doesn't works. XAP here.

The answers are already given...
you cant deploy those apps, not from pc, phone or SD.
That only works with official downloaded apps from the store ( the one you are signed in ).
Al these apps are encrypted to prevent just those actions you are trying to do.
If you realy want to deploy the beta app, you have to register to the beta project.
Otherwise its a no go.

What do you expect from beta version?
If you really want to test the new features before get's public. Then register for beta version or get contact support from WhatsApp.com (they've closed beta testing).
Or if you want to use multiple mobile numbers in single device then change the GUID of public app.
Here is decrypted latest xap.

IIRC, WhatsApp closed its beta registrations. That is why I asked
