After some googling I found, that the "Transfer my data" app can transfer SMS only from Lumias and Symbian phones.
Anyone got an idea how to do it?

I was wondering the same thing... I'm sure it's possible for the interop-unlocked phones, but that doesn't include Lumia phones (yet)

I think its possible in a very awkward way. The Transfer my data app has special privileges, so it can write SMS to your phone. The problem is, that it can only import from Lumias and Symbian phones.
Now you you make an app for PC/iOS/Android, that fakes this protocol you are set. The problem is to decode this protocol, as I see there are 2 choices:
- Mess with the Symbian emulator. Ive downloaded it, but its kinda hard to get it to use the bluetooth of my laptop. if I manage to do this, I need to sniff the traffic to figure out the protocol.
- Download the Symbian source code and find the part which sends this data. Im now about to try this method, ill post an update if I find anything. If someone i a Symbian+bluetooth expert could help would be great, but I doubt such people are common.
Guys...all you have to do is keep the back up option turned on. Everything else from there is MS's problem. I recently hard reset my wife's 720. All the messages, every single one, comes back the moment you sign in with the SAME ID you have taken a back up with.
Uh, GH0ST, I think you missed an important point... this is from *ANDROID* to WP*, not from WP* to WP8.
@syddd: I'm sure it is, indeed, possible to transfer the messages to the app from an Android phone, but I don't know the wire format. You might get lucky if you search and find an app on the Android side that is compatible with Transfer My Data, though.
hello all...
I'm new to WP, so i need to do some reading about it , and i was wondering if WP have things like Recovery mode of Android that can backup and restore the whole system.
I'm asking this because i was googling it and all the result come out with Nokia , but unfortunately my device isn't Nokia so it concerns.
OK... so could someone please tell me does WP have something like Recovery ?
As I know of now , WP phone are separated in 2 parts , the OEM firmware and Microsoft WP OS., and for now there is WP8.1 GDR1 Preview , i'd like to update to it , but i have to think about first that how am I supposed to make my device back to stock OS if something goes wrong , it's gonna be much appreciated if someone could help me out of this ....
Sadly, no. WP7 did, but for some not-entirely-clear reason Microsoft removed even the option of creating such backups with WP8.
Some stuff is backed up automatically, if you enable the relevant options in Settings, so if you reset your phone (or buy a new one) and sign in with the old account, you'll get your apps and contacts and SMS and so forth back. However, there's no official way to downgrade your phone from a preview release. If you tell us exactly what phone you have, we may be able to point you at an unofficial one, though...
jepp , backup whole os is removed by MS.
but , things that get backuped:
your start screen and all your tiles and in the right order.
your theme.
SMS.
email accounts , you only need to re enter your password.
WIFI, only need to enter the key before you entered your live account (it also remember all the WIFI connections you made).
All apps you got from the store.
all your contacts (when you have them on any of your email accounts).
Facebook , twitter , LinkedIn, when you connected them with your live ID.
Game scores/settings.
App Settings.
but you need to turn this all on in settings.
The game scores and app settings stuff (and possibly some of the rest of that list) is 8.1-specific; older apps (like, say, Fruit Ninja which is actually a WP7.0 app) won't be able to use that feature. Just an FYI.
Hi everyone,
I'm studying Java and Android Development and would like to be able to pick up where I've left off when going from laptop to desktop and back. For instance with note taking I use Evernote which keeps the notes in sync between the two. Is there a way to continuously sync code in projects in Android Studio between the two machines?
Thanks

I just thought about it, I guess it's possible to switch the storage location of Google drive. So may try that so that the location on each machine is exactly the same. I know the filepath differences can cause some issues but if I put them in a root folder with the same name on both machines that might work...
You may try with services like Dropbox or Google Drive, but I think the best option would be to use version control system like GIT. It will not automaticly sync your code, but it gives a great control of code, possibility to revert older versions etc. Also it's fully supported by Android Studio.

Hello, I was giving this a try but when I try to connect my phone to the PC it says "Error connecting to ADBD. Error code = 7", any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks.
Sorry for some reason this went to the incorrect place, please delete this thread.
I seem to be getting "Error 14: Cannot boot Astoria platform" on my Lumia 925, even though its supported. Windows 10 and 8.1 SDKs installed on desktop, latest build of W10m, developer settings on and discovery on. I tried unregistering from 8.1 registration too but that didn't help.
I fixed Developer Menu crashed
I just tested Kingdom Rush, it works fine. Some fps drop from time to time, but totally playable.
problem while using project astoria tool
after entering wconnect.exe usb in command prompt i got this error
The procedure entry point EventSetInformation could not be located the dynamic link library ADVAPI32.dll, what should I do?
I tried to do all these instructions but got an error with "IpOverUsb", which did not manage to solve. In task manager this service is running, but crashes constantly. Does anyone knows, how to solve this issue?
So, tried this on my testing device (Lumia 830), but am getting Error Code 14 which suggests my device isn't supported?
Did anyone else get this, of anyone got it working on a Lumia 830?
APK to W10M Tool
Hi everyone!
I'm Antonio de la Iglesia from Microsoft Insider, a Microsoft fan spanish website. I've released a tool to do everything for you, one install, no command lines, etc. Only you have to drag an drop the apk in the box:
Download link is on: bit dot ly 1MddHUK (I can't post links or images, sorry)
Applications I tested and are working: Angry Birds 2, Plants vs. Zombies 2, Impossible Road, Facebook Messenger (head chat only works inside the app), Facebook, Whatsapp, Fruit Ninja, Dumb Way to Dies 2.
Apps that have not worked: Never Alone (stuck on a black screen), Prince of Persia Shadow and Flame (not start), The Room Two (eternally in the loading screen), Storm Rush (missing textures), Heartstone ( forever on the pub entrance screen ).
And I wanted to talk with yours about Snapchat. Currently it is impossible to use the official due to check with the services google, put the Casper can be installed. I can login and view snaps, but the native Casper camera does not work (is a black image). It is possible to make the camera work going in the settings and switching to the native camera phone however it does not help much. With this option activate the camera opens and I shot the photo but when I confirm, the application simply returns to the home screen without letting me post. If I enable the "Chose document chooser", when trying to choose a photo in the gallery I will have access to Windows applications choice of menu and I can get there in the gallery, camera or drive but it does not help much because that:
The Android has no access to the Windows file system and Windows also does not have access to Android file system . You do not need to activate the Blackbary option for camera work, it will open even without this option . The problem is that when you take the picture it is saved in a Windows directory and then when he tries to send to Casper, HERE IS ERROR . The camera does not have access to android files . The same applies to the gallery. If you enable the " Chose document chooser ", by clicking on the gallery you will be brought to application choice screen. Here you can choose the camera and the phone's own gallery. Again , when you select a photo from gallery an error occurs saying that was not possible use the file. This is again because the gallery can not send the file to Casper . Here is the whole problem.
My girlfriend is pissed me off to make this application work and I can not . I am in contact with Caster developer also to try to fix the problem. if we can bypass this issue of access to the file system , I'm sure it would work. You guys have any idea ? Sorry for my bad English. It is not my first language .
For Developers mode on Windows 10 Mobile crashing
Hey guys. I'm new to software development on Windows Phone but I've been using my Lumia devices for more than a year and a half now. Lately, I've been testing the builds for Windows 10 Mobile. I am currently on build 10166 running on my Lumia 1520. Due to the recent development, I tried to install APK files on it via the leaked Project Astoria porting tool and it worked great until the "For Developers" option started to crash and I am unable to install the APKs anymore since I can no longer pair my device to the sideloading app on my PC.
I've downloaded the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK as they said that I can "unregister" my device from there and it will regain access to the "For Developers" settings on my Windows 10 Mobile. After the installation, I plugged my phone in to my laptop and then I tried to hit Connect from the SDK, but I ran into an error that says "Waiting for Update Pack" wherein it prompts me to install an update. After i click update, an error code 0x80004003 - Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Says something about Phone Tools Update Pack. How can i get through this?

As great as this is, is there anyway to get it in English?
Mine is 1520. =.= Im a student and dont have laptop or pc to do this solution. Is there any solution which is allow me to install directly?
Server error. Error Code=1?
So not matter what method I do or what version of windows my PC is running(I've tried 8.1, and 10) I keep getting the same error "Creating session... Server Error. Error Code=1" and that goes for APK Deployment Application a trying it with the wconnect.exe through CMD.
Anyone got a clue as to how to fix this error, I haven't ran crossed it yet on any of the sites covering this. I'd hate to have update my Lumia 1520 to 10 just to find out my only reasoning for doing so was a bust...
how?
How did you guys do this deactivate developer tools using Windows Phone 8.1 SDK. Can someone post a direct link the download. Every time I search for it, it pulls up Visual Studio. I'm sure that where it is but I've played around with visual studio and I'm not seeing this deactivate developer mode......
Keyboard problem
Hi Everyone!
I tried a lot of android applications in my Lumia 930 (build 10166) - for example: german dictionaries, dumb ways to die 2 game, lumosity, outlook web app... and so on- and everything was just perfect. Hovewer, when I get the windows 10 update 10512 my applications become useless, because I can not use the keyboard in the applications (not come up), so I cant fill in the necessary field, for example to log in to my account. I tried to delete and install apps again, but it doesnt help.
Does anybody has an idea to solve my problem?
Thanks for your help!
AFter upgrade my Lumia 1520 to latest build 10512 then I cannot active keyboard in Android app.

Keyboard problem since 10512
Since my update to 10512 the keyboard doesn't open in sideloaded apks
Anyone with a similar problem?
Sadly, I will need to report that Sideloading APK's on the latest build 512 (At least on the 1520) is causing the windows keyboard to not load. This means you cannot type at all in the app. Will continue working on this and report a solution if found.
Hi, everyone,
This is my first post, I got a situation I think I need to do capability unlock to solve it, because I want my data back!
My phone is Lumia 920, I saw this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...ve-interop-t3135326/post62301716#post62301716
This is amazing, and you guys on this community are awesome! I just want to post a reply to the authors, their work is great, although I need to wait for them to publish this tool for Lumia 920.
But I am a new member here, so I need to post at least 10 posts to leave a message on developer's forum.
The whole story is, I am using an app named Line (a messenger app just like What's app). In Taiwan, almost all people use it to send messages.
I also have a lot of messages sent via this app between me and my girlfriend and best friends. Unfortunately, this app on Windows Phone is terrible.
After one day, this app can not open anymore, because it will crash when it want to sync messages.
This is fine, because I can use computer version to talk with others.
But one day, Line forces me to valid a Pin Code on my computer, this requires me to open Line on my Lumia 920 to input that code to login to the computer.
This suck app even doesn't allow me to install on another device, or my Lumia 920's original account will be disabled.
The only way to solve seems to uninstall Line, then reinstall it. I can't do this because all my sent messages are very very important to me I don't want to delete it.
Line don't have backup function on Windows Phone, so I can't do this before, there is no way to get back my messages except my phone app data.
So this is why I need a way to let me access to app data on my phone, I am a developer also, I am not sure I can get back my messages but I can try it (on Android, Line's message looks like stored on a sqlite3 file).
The first thing I need to do is get these app data then I can try to get back my messages from it.
Anyone have other ideas to help me to solve this? Thank you a lot.
PS. I am tried to use Line's python library but I need to enter Pin Code also, and I am not sure Line stored my messages on cloud.
The other way I am trying is to get Windows Phone backup data from my onedrive, but it seems not possible.
Or I should try to hack my Line application on my computer to skip Pin Code validation? It might be a lot of work and still not feasible.
I found the desktop version's sqlite on AppData\Local\Line, unfortunately there is no full message history, only messages since April (the most valuable messages I want are on last year), and all the messages are encrypted. For the message 12345, is encrypted to:
CfxjtmuAXScEBn/Virf+6A==
If I decode it with base64 I still can't get back my message, I think it is encrypted by AES or something but I don't know where is the key.
On my another computer, the message 12345 is encrypted to:
iBIkUWFOfTBkBOg2YffCtA==
