[APP] Nokia-, Maps1.3 & Drive2.0 & Transit 1.2 & CreativeStudio

Hi,
I found these apps in several places.
I havn't seen a thread to bring them all together in one place, so here they are.
All of them are working on HD2.
Feel free to push Thanks.
I did not fix them myself, only posting them for all other HD2 users happyness!

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393265
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!

install direct new version from Store (dont use old XAP files)... just change store to Nokia and install Nokia apps... if app close during start, change phone name from HTC to Nokia Lumia in registry. dont forget uninstall old version first from phone
- go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ Platform \ DeviceTargetingInfo
MODeviceName: HTC Surround change to Lumia 800
- OemName: HTC change to NOKIA
latest version:
Nokia Maps v2.5.0.0: http://windowsphone.com/s?appId=c0109837-574e-469b-a08b-dca621bde3ca
Nokia Drive v3.1.0.3206: http://windowsphone.com/s?appId=b5382dbf-0923-4195-b68b-f93b7ee76fe9
Nokia Transit v3.3.411.0: http://windowsphone.com/s?appId=5e41c972-de66-47f0-95bf-06eb115b3e48
unfortunately Creative Studio in Store now is only for WP8

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
http://wappstore.org/store/win/3/237/wAppStoreSetup.msi
WP7 XAP
http://wappstore.org/store/wp/1/20/wAppStore.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.

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!

Developer Registration Tool w/o full SDK?

Long story short...I have a legit Windows Phone Developer account and I want to unlock my Lumia 920. I know the unlock tool is part of the WP8 SDK, but the only problem is that the SDK requires Windows 8 64-bit. As of now, the only Windows 8 install I have is on my Samsung tablet, so I can't install it on there since its not 64-bit.
Is there a way to just get the registration tool without installing the 1.5+GB SDK? Or is there a way to do it from Windows 7?

Try this. Idk if it works, but give it a shot anyway! Extract the files and put it in a folder, then run the exe.

unfortunately this doesn't work, as it states we need a zune-connected phone. and the lumia 920 doesn't connect to zune

RE: register phone
Why don't you use a vmware image of windows 8 where you can install the sdk on it. I use the same method as I have a macbook. for win phone 8 dev I use vmware.

I think the zip doesn't work but not because it needs a zune connected phone. Instead the issue is that the tool is probably missing some common files or something like that. It asks to connect the phone to the computer and points at a potential problem with the windows phone passthrough service (although there is no problem because the device can be browsed perfectly fine).

I wish I could at least install a XAP to my WP8 devce on Windows 7...Is THAT even possable ?

Sorry for bumping this old post, but I had been having issues registering/unlocking my Windows Phone 7 Lumia 710 recently to develop.
Using Windows 7 SDKs, the registration tool with it just wasn't working - I was getting the good old "Error logging into the App Hub. Please check your Windows Live ID and password and try again" message.
Even contacting Windows Dev Support couldn't resolve this - apparently its a known issue theyre working on just now!
Long story short, I found this thread - and tried the zip file you linked and it worked! I was able to register my phone through that file instead of the registration tool that came with the SDK. So thank you very much!

Worked for me too. Thanks a bunch !!

mtp total commander?

I accessed the mtp file structure with total commander. I wondered on it. Is it something new?

Whoa! That's definitely *different*. What phone are you using?
I'd been considering finding (or writing) an alternate MTP client so that I could take advantage of the Full File System hack on ATIV phones and dump the running file system (Windows Explorer is a miserable MTP client). Looks like TC would probably do the job. However, looks like it also reveals even more than we knew was there...
I'll investigate (once I have a data cable and not just this silly charge cable) and see what I can find.

nothing new but available few months in beta releases (8.50)... just start TC, select Computer (drive overview) and WP8 phone is there
latest 8.50 version stable version
http://www.ghisler.com/amazons3.php
or beta 8.51 beta 4
http://www.ghisler.com/851_b4.php

The fact that the phone is there is not the exciting bit (although I didn't know TC supported MTP, so that's cool). The exciting bit is the presence of all those other "folders", like "Apps", "Metadata", "StorageInfo", etc.

I tried 8.51b4. Didn't get anything out of the norm.

O sorry .
your Version is 8.01 . now see it
Last Edit : with 8.01 and that plugin :
still normal access on Lumia 920

I did it again by the same way.
History:
1. Installed TC a long time ago, (and it may be importent, set to always run with administrator rights)
2. bought l520
3. devunlocked l520, did preview for developers, installed gdr3, installed black
4. installed windows media audio extension
5. opened the phone, and amazed on the folders

Wow ! Take a look
Run as Administrator . Install Media Audio plugin that he mentioned
Go To Network neighborhood then Media Audio
You see your WP Device and in this partition you can see these folders .
but Unfortunately All of these folders are empty !

I'll try it with the Odyssey tomorrow. I wonder if having the Full FS made any changes to permissions to MTP on the device to actually be able to see something inside.

The most bad thing is that we can't write files in these folders .
not only these folders even in Phone folder !
we have write permission when navigate from This PC but we can't write when we navigate from this method
It's seems not very useful but still interesting .
we have to test another MTP device . maybe this plugin shows these folders for every MTP devices !

I ran across the source code, but I haven't found any information about those folders. Altough it is possible that the starnge folders are from an API.

I am trying to find other mtp clients, but tcmd and windwos explorer might be the only ones.

I use a Nokia 909, but I guess that it's the same on all Windows Phones.

Microsoft won't allow full access to operating system folders to user or developer for security reason,thats why after long time we got at least file manager,may be there is chance in windows phone 10 with lot lot of work-ground!

If I asked you this question, is precisely that no, it is not the same thing from a device to another.
The devices that can integrate a Micro-SD card can be mod (registre) to mod MTP which allow view folders and files Sys.
Try this, but I don't know if that works on WP8.x OS.

If you download windows phone 10 tech preview there is a bug allowing you to access all system files.
