[APP] WP7 3mktPlace v0.4

Hello,
I would like to share a windows app, kind of a parallel market for desktop that allows you to download almost any WP7 application, and convert it automatically into .XAP file.
But I don't know if it is ok with moderation so please mods let me know about it before I upload the .zip file.
Thanks.

sounds like a great way to finally be able to install the free netflix app, even if it is not listed in your marketplace...

there's already an program for this over in the general windows 7 dev section

I don't think so.

This is a PAID APP and therefore NOT OK to post here.
Posting a link to a place where users can BUY the app IS OK.

This software lets you download any app from the market, including paid ones. Hence it is not allowed on xda.

Nope, this is a free app, but as said above, it can download any app, free or not, and convert it into .XAP.
So it can be considered as warez but it is not really one actually. Since it's able to grab free apps in .XAP file system, I though it was an interesting tool for finding rare .XAP apps...
But that is why I waited before posting any link, as the status of this app is rather vague, like in the grey area...

I think it's a free app. I've tried and works well.
Unfortunately, it seems it works for free and paid apps (honestly, haven't tried it, but read that it is possible). It is a pitty, because it won't be allowed on XDA and it is a great way to avoid all the trouble to get a live ID.

Well couldn't somebody mod it to only access the free ones?
There is also another software that does the same as this, both are by different devs. Would be great if we had a XDA dev work on it and release it with better/more stable functions.

That would be a great step for HD2 users.

not hard at all to activate
other than the activation code from Microsoft being location based, it is not hard what so ever to have WP7 be fully fuctional. i have zero issues down loading/accessing anything from windows live, market, zune. all the info to do so is here on the forums, and a 5 min call to Microsoft customer service. There was only two specific questions they asked 1. are u in the US, 2. what is the phone Brand. having all of the software set up properly, then entering that code gives full use. when i plugged into the Zune software after it recognized it as HD7....................been testing the crap out of it since. zero problems. take your time....put all the software in the right order, call to get a code...done....
sorry if the Microsoft activation code does not work for you based on location.. that blows

please be realistic
it is considered as cracking app to me, definitely not allowed here, period. It is everywhere in the Chinese forums, where they share all kind of cracked paid apps.

Yes, there's no distinction between free and paid apps. I've download to alternative browsers, not knowing they were paid.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908293 - it seems to do the same thing, but only displays free apps. Should be sticky here.
Either way, bored of WP7, back to Android!

tried so many games and apps
apps are fine ! but no game is working except NFS !!!

what exactly does this program do? just crack paid apps?

it download paid apps for free therefore not allowed to be discussed on XDA.
I suggest any discussion stop unless your willing to suffer a suspension or a bann

Actually it only downloads the free apps aswell as trials, it doesnt directly download any full apps. What it does do also is edit the trial so its full on supported titles.

Well I wouldn't consider removing the trial limitation to full legal since its then a full app. Anyway carry on. Don't say no one told ya

Dropbox Suspicions? Anyone?

So, anyone afraid of dropbox now, lol.
http://jdsawyer.net/2011/07/02/put-it-in-the-cloud-are-you-nuts/

For the average user they can't cause any harm for storing music files or videos to have access to them elsewhere. So no reason for me to stop using it.

I sense lawsuits from somebody.

To add some facts to that: Dropbox already modified these changes, clearifying that those are legal terms they need to technically operate their service.
Read the lower part of this post: thinq.co.uk/2011/7/3/dropbox-terms-service-target-your-stuff/
A Dropbox spokesman:
Some of you have written us with very understandable concerns about the legal-sounding parts. In particular, our new TOS talks about the licenses we need to run Dropbox. We want to be 100% clear that you own what you put in your Dropbox. We don’t own your stuff. And the license you give us is really limited. It only allows us to provide the service to you. Nothing else

However, users should be alarmed.

Yeah, came across this at bleeding cool. Com, from a Greg Rucka twitter (comic book writer), thought there would be some interest here. The main point someone was putting forth is that we are not the customers with dropbox/Facebook etc, we are the Product/Merchandise ...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Shady! I haven't trusted (or used) Facebook for many months now. If you investigate their history it's more than a little sketchy. They don't want your information ... 'just because'.

It's really not that shady; it's just a bunch of legal jargon stemming from outdated laws they have to put into the agreement to protect themselves when storing millions of people's personal file's. Nothing will come of this, because there's no way a lawsuit will be able to get anything out of them

I know its kinda backward, but depending on the size of stuff just email it to yourself. With the size of hotmail and gmail these days a few gigs worth of attachments might just be ok. And if there 'stories', ie your a writer IIRC you've just copyrighted your work by mailing it to yourself (someone might want to clairify or correct that statement, just a thought bouncing around in my poor brain, lol).

Antivirus yes or no ??

Hi guys
Im using custom ROMS from this portal. I would like to ask if it is necessary to have antivirus isntalled on my phone "SE Xperia X8" if i only install apps from Play Store and I dont download any files like movies, mp3 etc. on my phone.
I know its good when you have a such thing but when it isnt necessary....
So I would like to ask your suggestions, you know much more like me if you create some ROMs and kernels and many more.
Thanks a lot guys

Nah not needed...

Hahaha NO!
Maybe if you have windows on phone!

i will say No! not recommended

the only thing i asked you is because i read many posts where people say it is neccesary because you have root acess, security risk .... but im not an idiot to run something that i didnt trust.

who will make phone virus LOL

@OP - I use AVG, it's not a ram eater or battery drainer as those above say.. (funny they say that when they don't use it)
It's very naive of those above to think that Android cannot get viruses.. It can and has many, even in the PlayStore.
Remember that all roms here are rooted which means they have NO security.
An AntiVirus is a must to protect your data.
Anyone can put an app in the PlayStore - we've all seen some of the cr*p available there.. The code is not verified by Google like in the Apple AppStore so viruses and data theft is easy to accomplish for those who write bogus apps.
The choice is yours ultimately but I'd never run Android without AVG..
Good luck!

In one way youre right. But if I choose apps like facebook, twitter ... from lets say " good and trusted developers " which are use by milions of people, so i think that should be clean because many people already have it. If they were defective, they were be removed long time ago
btw. sry for my bad english but Im not from english speaking country :/

true story

What if I'll get virus on phone? I'll just lost data or something?? I don't care,I always lost all data when I full wipe and flash rom. BACKUP is on PC and LAPTOP

Simply yes..
It's an insurance..

I think, as far you are not downloading suspicious apps and not opening suspicious web pages, its not needed

Well, Im not sure.. I know that on iOS were some holes in safari which alowed jailbreaking, but also those security holes could be also used for other things, like getting some data from device. Maybe there are also similar things in Android

android is just like Linux the safest

CtrlAlt does have some points. Mainly, it's really better safe than sorry.
m.techradar.com/news/phone-and-comm...ndroid-security-apps-do-you-need-them-1076731
I found that just now. And i don't know what to make of it, honestly (no idea if it's reliable). It's the internet.
I don't have any av installed on my phone, although i do have Avast on my sdcard so i can install it when i have to.
So my take on this is we don't need av FOR NOW. but it's good to be safe. Be careful when on the net specially if you dl stuff. Have an av ready just in case. Hope that helps.

Why do you have to be rude about it? Why can't you just avoid clicking on this thread rather than going out of your way to comment your displeasure? Not every single thread here has to pander to your own desires.
OP has a legit question. Yes, it has been answered before, but firmware updates can always change recommendations so it is more wise than not to ask about a device's current state rather than rely on old threads.

Totally agree with you. Having spent many years on this forum, there appears to be a growing trend towards the " another thread like this?" Or the age old classic "use the search feature before posting" yada yada yawn yawn. I think it normally stems from those that end up getting a bit too big for their boots. It really is so simple, don't like thread ignore, it will then disappear off the bottom of the screen. It's a shame that those with such skill don't get this concept, but instead resort to generally being a bit obnoxious.
Now to answer the OP in a sensible manner...
Yes I think the GG is worth it if you like your gadgets. It really is most definitely for me not something you really need. It is however something you really want. It is on the one hand the most unnecessary gadget of all time, but at the same time the most fabulous tech toy you could imagine. I love mine and I'm really glad I bought it.
If you can afford it then do it- put it down to a Christmas extravagance!!!

Is there anyway to hide apps?

I am not going to start a rant about the things wrong with this phone, but can anyone tell me if there is a way to hide apps from the app drawer? Or once things are installed they stay there?

You could Disable most but not all of your apps. For the ones that you cannot disable you could use a custom launcher which would allow you to hide apps.

So the answer is no without getting a custom launcher

nova launcher

Custom launchers do not require root

Who said anything about root? I know a launcher doesn't require root, but it is ridiculous that the stock os is so cumbersome.

Nothing you or anyone else can say on here that can offend me. You have 2 posts asking for what appears to be a solution to what you want to accomplish and you are receiving solutions. Your attitude is a bit snarky showing that you aren't really looking for a solution but rather a soap box to vent your complaints. That's fine and I say "nice attitude" in the most sarcastic way and wish you good luck in whatever it is in which you wish to accomplish.

A launcher is not a solution. It's a work around. If I wanted to vent I would have vented in my original post. I would prefer not to have a $650 phone that I dislike so I am doing my best to have it accommodate basic needs so please don't mistake lack of enthusiasm to fundamentally change my os all together via a launcher as snarky.

Just interested in knowing, as it has always been stated that this phone is vanilla android with Moto added functions and of course Verizon bloat, what phones or mfg skins are you familiar with that allow hiding apps in app draw without modifying launcher?
