Has anyone actually found out how the IsTrial flag works for an app? Would be nice to know how to set it for Trial Homebrew
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lovenokia:
I dont think this alternative marketplace is running yet
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
I am making the alternative Marketplace and thus I wanted to know how it could work as I want to offer developers a chance to sell their apps, but still offer users to test them if the developer wants to.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
Could you tell us how do you plan to deliver apps to the end users first? Sideload only? It's not a marketplace even "alternative"... :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
No, I am actually working on a more or less cydia like app. Downloading XAPs from my Server already works but executing and installing them does not yet
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
Ludacris, did you tried to unpack downloaded XAP's to your app ISF, load main assembly (dll) dynamically and try to execute from your app (it's just my assumption, have no idea about possibility)?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
That is not going to work. TaskHost has its own ACL. You can only load binaries that are installed for that specific app.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] oOp:
please integrate flattr
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
Flattr actually sounds pretty interesting but how to assure that you can pay the amount the developer would like to get with it? flatter shares the amount of Money you want to spend each month on the web on a equal basis.

Even if it would be working you would have to Launch the marketplace all the time to run a homebrew application - that's not really much fun, is it?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
That's the only one chance (but very weak chance), for that kind of application to bypass marketplace certification. You have no options...

BTW, as Heathcliff74 said, it's not possible in current WP7 paradigm.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
Still, i can make the marketplace as far as possible and as soon as that is possible, i can just finnish and release it ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lovenokia:
At least someone is working on this thanks, do you have a release timeframe? i would like to know
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jackrabbit72380:
we need someone to finnish wrighting the datacab.xml to link all of xbmods cab files anytakers?

please pm me!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
Could you show any proof of concept to us? Truly I don't think you are "the one" who found a workaround to fool MS.

Just another warez site for sideloaders... Why do you call it "marketplace"?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lovenokia:
It is the alternative marketplace at the moment but don't have a name yet. Once it is finished we will make a cool name for it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
Look some pages back, I have already made clear that the marketplace has a strict 0 - Warez policy and I will check each submitted application. You should find a screenshot there aswell
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
As far as I understand, your only one hope is based on future Heathcliff74's hack/app? BTW, to deploy his app, you should have already unlocked phone... No any chance for his app to hit real MS Marketplace.

So, as a developer, who want to reach millions of customer, I see no perspective for yours homebrew "marketplace" project. Doesn't really matter what kind of policy you will have or who will test apps (btw, do you have real Q&A experience and enough knowledge in WP7 programming?.. )
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lovenokia:
Will the 9$ chevron unlock be considered an unlock?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
Doesn't really matter, 'cause it's a way for enthusiasts only, not for general public.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lovenokia:
cydia was intended for enthusiasts and now a lot of the general public knows about it
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
Oh by the way, downloading XAPs, browsing trough the available apps and read comments is done :) XAPs are stored in the ISOStorage of the app, as said, I just Need to find a way to get them installed... (DFT Team ?)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
"Just"? :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
yep, should have set it in quotation marks :P
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lovenokia:
Great news, One question if someone will use the Chevron 9$ unlock can a person download this "alternative marketplace" on their device
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
Of course. I am still hoping to find a was to use the original xap inataller to Bypass the 10/3 apps Limit (and install cap_interop apps) ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] :
did u

did u fibd ne thing
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
I could answer that question if you tell me hat "fibd ne" means :P
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lovenokia:
any luck yet? you find way or not yet?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
No idea yet, I am going to talk a bit to heathcliff and the other guys lets see if they have got any ideas how to work that out
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lovenokia:
any updates? or still working on it
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
Still working on it but due to other projects (as said before) this one is not my #1 priority
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lovenokia:
The chevron unlock has been released today maybe you can find some luck there
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] shawchyn:

any updates?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] andrew35133:
We need to edit the main post with so we know what is needed:

(Examples)

Currently:

Creating Website

Bla bla bka

Needed:

Webserver

10 devs

20 testers

a new way to get interop
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
Webserver is here, 1 dev is here (thats me :D) but I am working on many projects, so pretty much lack of time

no testers

Way to interop would be here... I am thinking about trying to get the app to the official marketplace and then install any app that removes the sideload Limit :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Core2pt:
And i Don't Mind pay for it .. I need interop soo bad :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
I am thinking about advertisment on either app pages or the app lists :P
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] andrew35133:
What do you mean interop would be here?

Also what is on the "To to list"
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
That I already thought about a way to interop unlock non interop unlocked phones :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] andrew35133:
Could you share your thoughts on this, it might help the rest of the communtiy getting phones interop unlocked
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lovenokia:
that would really help us all especially the gen 2 phones
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
its just a quick and dirty idea but if an interop application gets insatalled via marketplace it can edit the registry and thats what I want to do ;)

Anyway, AGoodDayToDie has recently published InteropUnlocker for HTC, I think it should work on 2nd gen HTCs aswell
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lovenokia:
anything new on this one? updates?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ludacris:
As said, I have got my tests theese weeks at university. I can work on it in december. Hope to get at least a beta online 'till christmas

does this marketplace have a lot of the homebrew apps or not all of them?
[Defy General] spoonflames:
Hi there, forgive me if this is out there somewhere in the forums, i've had a look and i'm getting a bit lost :confused:

With the new of the Defy+ came out i guess there is no official 2.3 update for the Defy ?

But as time goes on , has someone got an official or original defy+ stock rom that i can flash on my regular defy ?

I don't really like custom roms with others personalisations i'd like what a defy+ owner gets out of the box, but withut having a defy+ he he! :)

Many thanks

4.5.1-134walter from the link above, i installed this yesterday to my Defy (old) and am very impressed battery much better and feels a lot more stable no crashes yet as with my old sock 2.2.2 was crashing at least 3 times a day.

djc
[Defy General] rubjonny:
+1 from me too! i had ms2ginger on mine and it was too buggy + battery died quickly. just put the defy+ one on as above and it seems much better so far! just need to get on my wlan at home to fully sync my facebook contacts etc to see how well that works.

only thing I have found so far that isnt quite as good is the panorama mode, on ms2ginger the panorama has a display at the bottom so you know how far to turn, this one doesnt it just makes a ping noise and takes the picture. can make the panorama a bit blury as you dont know when to stop turning! hopefully the app can be ripped out of the newer wrong and ported back.
[Defy General] spoonflames:
Thanks Everyone! I think i'm going to give this a try now! :)
[Defy General] seoxoo:
Do I need to install 720p record and play, panorama patch (720p-panorama-defy-plus.zip) after I install WALTER79 edition :confused:
[Defy General] djc151084:
It is already included in Walter edition
[Defy General] white.rider:
Roll back

Hi folks!:D

After flash with this rom, I will be able to roll back to 2.2.1 - 3.4.2?
[Defy General] djc151084:
Yes take a nandroid backup of your current 2.2.1 and keep safe then install the 2.3.4 nandroid and fixed sbf, dont install full sbf or will have trouble going back.

You can always go back to your backup if you dont install full sbf

Djc
[Defy General] white.rider:
:cool:

Yep! I did, but I doesn't have any 3G/HSDPA connection , all carrier access points confs are empty, I will have to do by hand or have another way?
[Defy General] pprakash:
Try baseband switcher and choose your region/country in it. I had similar issue after flashing this rom but could fix it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] D1PL0M4T:
hello everyone,

I am new to Android and this is my 1st post on this web site. I would like to start off by saying everyone has done a great job with providing such a vast amount of information on one web page.

My question was, everytime that I try to install a custom rom I will go into recovery mode and it always tells me that it cant mount sd card. I have tried everything from removing the root and re rooting to formatting the sd. I have had my phone for about 3 weeks and it has been rooted since day one. However, not once have I been able to install a custom ROM.

ny help would be great thank you.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
is this stock recovery? (blue, says "3e" at the top) if so that's weird, it would normally give a signature verification error if you did something wrong. it shouldnt have any trouble with the sdcard mounting.

do you have clockwork mod recovery installed? by which method? (custom kernel, rom manager) what color is the text? (red, green, orange)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] D1PL0M4T:
I used the clockwork recovery in rom manager. And when I go into recovery mode it is all orange.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] D1PL0M4T:
would I be better off wiping everything and starting over?
[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
Anyone know what the EVO3D uses as its Default Web Browser?

Meaning I Believe the IPhone uses Safari, What does Android use?

I know there's Many Different Apps to choose from, But by Downloading FireFox from the Market, Does that just Switch the Home page or the Actual Browser? Because I've been trying to load a page from my phone and its saying FireFox, Chrome, and Safari are Preferred... And Explorer Won't Work!

Anyone know what's up?

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Ang:
Hey uh, I was taking a nap, and I woke up, and my phone was stuck in a bootloop with the cynaogen bootscreen over and over.

Then i took the battery out, and now it won't boot up, it just does the same thing.

Then I went into clockwork, and it said a bunch of stuff like this: "can't mount cache/recovery/command"

So how in the world can I fix this? I can't believe the number of problems I am still having with this phone, even with cyanogen. It is far too glitchy, and I still have a whole nother year stuck on this thing.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopper the dog:
derp.

adb shell

reboot recovery

good day.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exzacklyright:
If you have an aosp rom there's a good chance you used by accident the 3-button method and then flashed something. I did that accidently and it happened to be my only bootloop ever lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hoang031:
I've tried retro camera and fx camera but I wanted to use the stock camera app and use my volume button to trigger the flash. Isn't there an apk that does that passively?

PS the volume button zooms so would need some type of remapper app
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:
Theres a app in the og gs2 section that does that.

Not liking vignette, since I can't use it from IM.

Launch "camera" to send a photo as an attachment and it launches vignette, but chokes after it successfully takes the pic. I forget the message, but basically that the data returned to handcent was invalid.. Possibly the effect of vignettes "preview", idk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
So since its a .rar does it need to be extracted? Has anyone had success yet?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ChadZ:
What's the easiest way to get a new phone from Verizon before the eligible date? Even a different model, and flagship phone. I've been a customer since 2003.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bkarlsen:
When is your eligible date supposed to be? Usually as long as you have fulfilled 1 year since your last upgrade they will do an early upgrade for you. Only downside is that it has to go through verizon and you cant get any of the costco or amazon deals
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lockett:
Another option would be to open a new line on your plan and then later down the road drop one of the older lines.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
this

I keep 3 lines, one for me and the gf then the third is for upgrades lol... I upgrade and then switch the phones, every year or so you get an upgrade if you time it right
[Verizon Droid Charge] sneakysolidbake:
You pay an extra $30/month just for an upgrade phone? Seems like it would be cheaper to just buy full retail.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Turb0wned:
Yup pretty dumb i think... Actually its an extra $40... $10 for the line and $30 for data.... Unless you have the cheapest data package.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
Only $10 a month. I used this trick and just don't have a smartphone active on the spare line. It was cheaper to add a third line to our account to get a second Charge instead of paying full retail.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
*shrugs* meh its about to expire anyway, I kept it for the unlimited data and new phones from years past plus my little bro was using it (doesn't care for smartphones) so it wasn't a complete waste

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] piperat:
I do the three line thing too. My daughter gets my old phone every year.
[Verizon Droid Charge] absens:
The quickest way to irritate a retail representative is to state how long you've been a customer. LOL That's true for any industry. Yes you've been paying for a service, but you've also been provided that service at a price you agreed to. Just a heads up, don't start the conversation with "I've been a customer since 2003."
[Verizon Droid Charge] ForeverSupra:
Yeah that **** is annoying, I get that a lot. (Its ok to ask but dont keep pushing it and storm off like a little baby because you didnt get your way.) Theres nothing we can do as reps, maybe give you a little discount but we cant override upgrade dates and stuff.

We can call our main department and they wont even do anything unless your a week before your upgrade date.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MillionManMosh:
I just was able to put through an early upgrade in the place of what would have been my third Charge. The first one was a replacement for the Fascinate, which I had had two of. I told them I was tired of Samsung products in general and they offered me the option.

I was one month from the year mark of the last renewal, and (since all of the phones so far were CLNR's) about the same from going out of warranty. Hopefully the Bionic is a phone I can feel confident in keeping for a year and a half or so. If not, there's a Vigor/TBolt 2 with my name on it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] type_2:
I'm definitely getting the new Galaxy Nexus or Nexus prime, but I just switched to Verizon and got the Droid Charge on Day #1. I'll probably have to pay retail (which for the phone will be worth it). Do I have to call in Verizon and have them know I switched phones? Or should I just pop the LTE sim card into the new one (whenever that is) and be done with it that way?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jconner05:
You SHOULD be able to just switch the SIM. That should update your account with the IMEI of your new phone. I'm not 100% positive, though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
Yes, with LTE phones, you can swap the SIM card, and use it instantly. I did that when I switched from TB to Charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
LOL, I returned a Bionic in less than a week (I absolutely HATED that phone)

~John
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueman9:
Can someone clarify for me how you can have a 3rd line with no data and get a smartphone for your upgrade?
[Verizon Droid Charge] MillionManMosh:
That's funny, I don't have any real complaints about it yet.

Though the second I can come up with one the phone is going back. I'm not locking myself in with anything less than the best phone money can buy.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Highriser:
They buy a phone at the discounted price then switch their phones but leave their new line open. So they pay $10 instead of $40 because their is no phone on the line. I do something similar to this, and I use all of my lines upgrades and my kids get my last phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] -Pagan-:
So wait.

I can add a line for $10.00 and buy, say, the new Samsung Nexus phone, but not buy data? Verizon does not require that a customer buy Data and I get the smartphone at the discounted price (which I can then swap to my data enabled ph#)?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
Yes

Verizon will only make you pay for features that are activated on a line. You can still get a two year contract price on a new line because the contract is for the phone line itself, not any add on features like data plans or sms plans.

I added a third line in July to get another Charge. I only pay $10 plus taxes and fees on the third line.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mobile.sensei:
I would have too
[Verizon Droid Charge] Farabomb:
I'm quite interested in this thread as well. I upgraded my storm2 to a charge and was going to upgrade my netbook to a tab but decided to wait. Soooo in theory I can use the netbook upgrade to avoid getting raped on the prime then switch it to the number and plan I'm presently using with the charge? What about reactivating the netbook after switching?
[Verizon Droid Charge] perziandroid+:
120/yr for a phone that will be obsolete every 3-4 months......
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
I did this for my wife to get on unlimited 4G data. Considering she uses over 5GB/month I save the headache of worrying about data overages. So I save $10 a month at least, sometimes more, because of when I added a line to upgrade to a 4G phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] quarky42:
Yes. If you get questioned on it, you just explain that you are eligible for the upgrade on Line 3 and you will sign a new agreement on Line 3, but you will be activating the phone on Line 1. All that matters is that you activate the phone on a line that has data service. This is a pretty common situation. You do not have to activate the phone on the line that you agree to the contract on.

I have used a second or third line upgrade for a discount, started a new 2 year contract, and activated that phone on my first line several times.

To me, this is far cheaper than paying for insurance on the phone and the chance that I will destroy a phone at a time when I have no eligible upgrades. You might say no, that $10 a month is more expensive than insurance and I would say that I can use this method on any 3 of my lines and I have. Plus, the third line is my in-laws so they have some mobile communication when they are out and about. That's some cheap piece of mind.
[Verizon Droid Charge] -Pagan-:
So I'm running into a wall with this method and Verizon.

I Currently have 3 lines, all are still within contract.

I went to add a 4th line on my family plan at $10.00 mo, AND get a new smartphone with no data (which I would then move to an in-contract, data enabled line).

Verizon will not sell me a smartphone without data. What's the trick?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
Try talking to a different representative. They should give you a two year contract price on any phone for the new line. Then have them move the phone to another line and cancel the data plan off of the new line.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
This little trick only works with family plans, huh? I'm on an individual plan. :/

If I wanted to start a family plan, would I lose my unlimited data plan?
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
You can even do this yourself online. Get the 4th line through your VZW account and have them ship you the smartphone. Then change out the ESN from your new phone to your current line as a replacement and it should be up in a matter of seconds. Just don't forget to downgrade the plan on the new line to the bare minimum.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
Yes I believe you would as they classify that as a 'change of plan'
