Hi, I just finished a phonegap application that I want to deploy in a Lumia520, but I've been trying without success because it says that my phone is locked. I read on the microsoft site, that I can do this by using the registration tool, but I get an error related to the Windows Dev account, I tried to create one but it charges me $20 for it, my question is, is it necessary to deploy apps? if so, what do I do with the clients' phones? I would provide them the XAP, but, would they have to unlock their phones as well? I would appreciate your help, thanks!

Your Welcome,
Yes, in this case you have to Purchase it to Deploy the App to your Phone to Test it, and to Publish your App to Store, so that your Clients can Easily Install your App from the Store.

Thanks! what If I don't want to publish it to the store (it's an internal use app) what do I have to do (after purchasing my account) so the clients can install the XAP provided by me directly? Thanks!

No, if you give them the XAP then they should also have their phone unlocked.
You have to publish your app to store, so that your Clients can install it.
I think there is an option to undiscover you app from the store, so no one can see it, people can only be able to install is using the URL you have provided to them.

Got it, well, I'll have to convice them then, so by uploading the application to the store, they don't have to have their phones unlocked right? by the way, I just purchased the account, but I don't know when is the expiration date, I have one from Android that never expires, I hope this one is the same, thanks!

If I buy the app, install it, then have to wipe my phone, I will loose the app.
Question is, if I install it can I pull off the .apk from the phone and if so how?

After you flash the new ROM, sign in with your google account and you will find any purchased apps in the "My Downloads" section of the market. I have a few paid apps and always reinstall from the market without any problems.
I can't find the system folder when I connect to my computer. Would the apk be in there somewhere?

Talking about backing up paid apps is frowned upon in these forums because that is borderline software piracy. The information is available on these forums though. Do a search.

Wow, thanks. I found some threads on that piracy issue. That never occurred to me as most of these apps are under $1 anyway. If you can't afford 1.00 then you probably can't afford monthly service. But yeah, I get it now.

Hey guys, what about we share our SIM country codes, used in MarketAccess, so we can test and see the apps for each country?
I'm looking for an UK code, since my phone is from UK.
My SIM is 72431 (from Brazil, telco: Oi)
Share!
Thanks.
you don't need any of that
just use App Brain
AppBrain App Market
Apk: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.apps...demonkeys.apps
This app is almost a must have, great for recoveries, switching ROMs, or simply a way to manage install/uninstall all the apps from the PC
more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765081
Errr... AFAIK AppBrain does not give you access to paid apps if you are in a non supported country, like ALL minus 12 or 15 countries.
But thanks anyway.
If you have root you can use market enabler to access paid apps in other countries

Why people just don't read the question before posting answers anymore?
Jeez...
all the online Apps Stores can get you access to paid apps when you access it from the PC
once added to the gmail account, you can download it regardless of country restriction
That's why AppBrain and many other ones works
it's only the stock Android Market, that have such restrictions

Really?
And how do I purchase and pay for an app via AppBrain?
I can't see how. Oh, and they say on the website that you can't purchase directly from them.
Please, explain me how.... using AppBrain.
Thanks.

But I´ll follow your question.
I´m in Denmark with TDC sim code - 23801

Great, thanks for the codes.
Anyone else?
Oh, I tried and looked several times in AppBrain, there really is no option to purchase anything directly from the PC via "my google account".
Not that I could find.
Thanks, and keep the codes comming!
where would i find this SIM code for you? I looked in application market settings and in about phone but i couldn't see it

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...

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
Hello, as the title says,
Is there a way to Dev. unlock your WP8 using XP or Vista? I tried to download the SDK for WP8, but it tells me I need W8 to run it. Any work around?
Thanks
Given that you would need a paid developer account to developer unlock the phone I would guess that you would want to develop for WP8 and for that you would need Windows 8 anyway.

I already have my student account. But, I guess you're saying no point in having my phone dev. unlocked because I need W8 to create programs anyway.

Check your dreamspark account from your university.
I searched and searched and cannot find a clear answer to this, so I apologize in advance if I'm asking something redundant.
I recently purchased an Icon and my most used app on a daily basis was Metrotalk. I was part of the beta and purchased it as soon as it was available eagerly. The dev was awesome and updated the app in a way that set a high standard. Well, with the threat from Google of blocking access to Google Voice for 3rd party apps, the developer decided to unpublish the app just weeks prior to me finally upgrading to a WP8 device (which he added numerous exclusive features for).
Here's the deal though: the xap is still available for download from it's page on the store. Is there any way for me to get install this manually on my phone still? If so, can anyone direct me a thread here that tells me how to do it?
Thanks, folks. Here's to hope ...
Does your phone have an SD card slot? If so, download the .XAP from the web store and put it on the SD card, then (with card in the phone) open the Store hub. There should be an option to install the app from the SD card. I can't promise it'll work but it's worth trying.

Unfortunately it doesn't.
I've read about developer unlocking my phone, using a xap deployer and several other things but I'm hesitant to go that route without knowing for sure it would work. I'm not a developer and I'm not looking to sideload a bunch of apps or anything like that. I just want this one that I purchased back really, really bad. Yeah, it's that useful of an app for me.
When it's unpublished, there's no way to redownload it. You need an unencrypted xap for that (not from the store). Best way would be to ask the developer, and if he gives it to you you can just download the windows phone SDK, register the phone & deploy the app.

Well, the worst that could happen is him saying no. You don't put your device security to risk, it's not illegal and should be ok ^^ if you don't want the whole SDK and don't need it, you can get the "lite sdks" from arnold link here: http://dhost.info/vink/avink/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4 it has everything needed to deploy the app.
Tried to contact the dev 3 different ways and no response. This sucks.

I tried there too, along with email and reddit.
What I don't understand is why the pressure to remove the app from the store when other apps (such as Free Talk) are still available on there? Was Metrotalk singled out because it was awesome???
These are rhetorical questions, as I know no one here can answer them and the developer only talks about Metromail now ...
