I have a nokia lumia 520 and I am trying to sideload to the phone (themes, games, etc) I Have followed a number of youtube videos and threads from online but i cant seem to find anything to side load apps to my phone. my phone is windows 8 and my pc is windows 7 can anyone help me or give an advice on sideloading apps to a nokia lumia 520 from a windows 7 pc
First point: Where the heck do you think you found a sideloadable theme for WP8?
Second point: I'm pretty sure you didn't find a *legitimate* sideloadable game for WP8. Read the forum rules.
Third point: The program is called Application Deployment; it's part of the WP8 SDK.
Fourth point: It requires Windows 8.

I have tried three different ways to build the Example 1 HelloPhone app for the Windows Phone 7 and I cannot connect to the emulator. It pops up and the OS initializes, but the bottom of the screen says trying to connect with the phone and then times out after a long time and gives a system call error dialog box.
I'm brand new to Windows Phone development so please excuse if this is a newbie question.
I'm using Visual Studio Express, I tired Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and two different Mac's (Macbook Pro and Mac Mini (latest new ones with the Core 2 Duo chipset). My Mac's run parallels version 4 and Windows XP or Windows 7.
Anyone seen this problem? I've posted this on the Windows Phone Forum too, but am not getting many hits. I can't believe something basic like this has me stopped dead in my tracks before even starting to learn how to program these phone.s

You have to register your phone as a Dev phone. You can use Zune to register
.
BTW, I think you have to be a registered developer (go to appHub) in order to be allowed to register as many as 5 WP7 phone as dev phones. If you are a student you are free to register for a year or if not you have to pay the $99 free per year.
If you are a student go to DreamSpark.... Find your school and register yourself.
Hi there,
I would like to start coding for WP8 - however, there are no books yet. That is why I just installed VS Express 2012 for Windows Phone and try to make a flashlight app which just has one button that switches on or off the led of my Lumia 920. I know how to make button, but I don't find any code that shows how to use the flashlight...
Can you please help me...?
For managing the flashlight use the camera api, I think.
There is no book for WP8 yet (or not? ), but you can easliy teach on the WP7.5, because it's a subset of WP8 API. For the rest use MSDN or even the Object Browser.
Why do you need a book? You can download documentation from visual studio or use msdn.

Of course you can do this. But it's much easier to learn using book thank msdn+ google. Especially if you haven't used silverlight\wpf before.
Try this, it is for Windows Phone 7 but it's free!

There's a book from Microsoft Press called "Windows Phone 8 Development Internals", I've recently started reading it and it seems like a good one.

Thanks for this
Was reading some stuff on:
no allowed to post links msdn(dot)microsoft(dot)com/en-us/library/dn715933(v=winembedded.81).aspx
Windows 8.1 Embedded Handheld is basically Windows Phone 8.1... but then we got:
"ID_CAP_ENTERPRISE_SHARED_DATA"
It's replacing the "ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES" in enterprise apps... I'm just wondering if you need an Enterprise/OEM developer account to use this cap? Anyone tried anything with this and deploying it to Windows Phone?
No time currently to test anything, was reading about this during a train ride...
I was travelling the youtube and i saw a video where you can actually install windows 8 on your android device.
It's an app that installs the windows via the usb which must be connected to the device.
The app it's called Change My Software 8 Edition
The big question is : Is it real or is it Fake ?
Also if it's real, can you actually run .exe files like windows do ?
Or is it just an emulator ?
Or what is it then ?
That's a good question that I am exploring as well, and I can tell you what I do know thus far. For those that say "you can't run windows on an Atom processor" Google Windows RT. This is the OS that is used by the Microsoft Surface devices. I have yet to find a source to download this OS. It isn't even available on the MSDN network (at least not with my license), so I have not tested this to verify.
To answer the other questions:
Is it real or is it Fake ? Probably fake. If it were real they would charge for it.
is it just an emulator ? From the video I saw it appeared to be a dual boot system, so not an emulator.
if it's real, can you actually run .exe files like windows do ? If real, yes! **EDIT** Do some looking into Windows RT and you will find that you can only run the applications available in the Windows Store. very sad indeed.
For those who may be interested as well, here is a link to the video I watched.
Well... it will not let me post a link so you will have to search "How to install WINDOWS 8 on ANDROID TABLET/PHONE?? [TUTORIAL]" on YouTube. Sorry!!
Also they have a website changemysoftware [DOT] org
EDIT: I have found some apps at the link in post #2, but only XAP-apps, not APPX-apps like StoryTeller.
I am testing WM 10 TP on a Nokia 1020. I did a hard reset yesterday just to discover I could not longer install the Lumia apps (Refocus, Storyteller etc.) that MS discontinued earlier. Sysapp Pusher does not help.
My device is interop unlocked and I am able to deploy "unlocked" XAP-files.
The problem is that I can only find decrypted files for the Lumia apps.
Even though these are free apps I guess it's not allowed to discuss how to decrypt or "unlock" the XAP-files.
So I would be very thankful if someone has an idea how to get the apps back even if it means reverting back to 8.1.
(BTW It's unbelievable stupid of MS to pull some of the few unique and really useful apps before having any replacements.)
check some here

Thanks,
I realize now that there is a Windows 10 Mobile forum here, I just didn't see it in the forum overview. So this question is kind of missplaced.
I have now found some of the apps I was looking for but only those that are XAP-apps. Do anyone know if it is possible to backup APPX-apps from the phone and reinstall them after a hard reset?
