[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@alan93: Developer Unlock is the term used for the change to your phone made by the Windows Phone Registration Tool (if you have a marketplace developer account), ChevronWP7 Unlocker (possible on pre-NoDo), ChevronWP7 Labs (coming soon), or changing the DeveloperUnlockState registry value located at HKLM\Comm\Security\LVMod to 1 (possible with the LG registry editor, or by using the Samsung diag app or HTC Connection Setup app to process to provxml file). The registry change is actually what matters; the other methods are simply ways to achieve it.

Dev unlock allows you to install XAP files - a renamed ZIP file with some manifest XML files, one or more managed (.NET-based) DLL files, and possibly other files needed by the application. Due to a bug in the application installer, you can also use a XAP to put arbitrary files almost anywhere in the filesystem (the installer can't write to the \Windows\ directory).

One of those manifst files specifies capabilities that the app has, which controls permissions of the app (for example, ID_CAP_ISV_CAMERA allows access to the public camera APIs). As of Mango, including beta versions, it is no longer possible to install apps with the ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES capability unless the MaxUnsignedApp registry value (located in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install) is set to at least 300 (the default value is either 10 or 3, depending on the unlock method used). ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES is required for interfacing with drivers, a way for applications to run at high permissions (for example, to write to the registry). Each time you install a major upgrade, such as Mango, this value is reset to its default. An app with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES therefore can't be installed (or run, if it was installed before upgrading to Mango) until this MaxUnsignedApp registry value is changed, a process referred to as Interop-unlock (term coined by Heathcliff74 on this forum). Marketplace-installed apps are exempt from this restriction, which is why things like Connection Setup (which has ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES) can be used.

For what it's worth, I got my dev-unlock by purchasing a marketplace developer account ($100 from MS). One day I may even submit an app to the marketplace, but so far all the apps I've written use homebrew and wouldn't be acceptable for the marketplace, so I just publish them here.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] alan93:
Thanks great explanation.

I intend to write my own too, I wrote one and have a few more great ideas but didn't want to pay until i made sure I was able to write them completely and testing on the simulator sux. And last I heard, the media player doesn't work with it.

I just think the fee and lockout just hurts development thereby limiting the success of WP7.

If it was $50 or less I would probably pay it.

I mean for crying out loud I'm a certified MCP/MCAD, they should give me a break here.

Hey guys!

I've noticed that my Gallery 3D isn't working anymore (it just hangs with a black screen and eventually I get a warning saying that it's not responding), and I don't remember doing anything that would break it.

I've tried deleting it from the /system/app folder and then re-flashing it but nothing. Also I tried installing it from the market and nothing. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Hello, I have an AT&T 8525 that has an inactive SIM in it, I'm just using it over wifi to play with. It came with WM5, and I flashed it to the Cingular 6.0 stock rom no problems. Then I installed the SIM and CID unlocker, then installed HardSPL. I then flashed to Que's 6.1-6.5 beta fusion ROM. I liked it, but wanted to go back to a stock ROM, ive tried flashing both the AT&T stripped ROM and the Cingular ROM i originally used, but it either gets stuck at a certain percentage and says communication error or wont connect to the device. I tried flashing from the SD card, but it just sits at the bootloader and doesnt do anything? I tried different bootloader versions but to no avail. Tried unticking allow USB connections and that didnt work. I've searched this forum high and low but am having trouble flashing the stock ROM back. Can anyone give me any advice?

[Atrix 4G Accessories] tEcHsAvY:
Hi everybody, I just recently got an atrix and was wondering if anybody had any ideas of keeping the exterior scratch proof. I work in a very dirty dusty environment. I have an otterbox defender but with past experience dirt can get into the defenders still and scratch the phone, I was thinking of skinning it with something then placing it in the defender. I actually had the idea of using scotch tape but I didn't know I'd anyone had any better ideas. Thanks!

Justin
[Atrix 4G Accessories] facetubespam:
wtf scotch tape??

why not try Zagg Invisible Shield?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] tEcHsAvY:
Isn't that a pain to apply? I was thinking of a peel and stick option, it doesn't really have to be pretty, just needs to protect
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ronii1123:
Try the Zagg full body protection, it's really good.

EDIT: It's like a thin skin that is of some of the highest quality.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Bwayan:
ZAGG is good. it isn't that much of a pain to apply. just make sure you clean your device before applying it. you don't want any dust or anything under the skin!

[Atrix 4G Accessories] ifalldownalot:
what's di-noc?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] facetubespam:
a vinyl "sticker" that resembles carbon fiber.

It is made by 3M and gives you that carbon fiber look without it actually being carbon fiber. Typically used by ricers on their decade old honda civics.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rantsh:
My n00bnes numbs my mind some times, so I'm just going to ask, so forgive me if this in the wrong forum or something.

I bought a gtablet from circuit city through amazon, almost as soon as I got it out of the box I felt the urge to move to something more usable so I attempted to flash it, now I did not read properly and tried to install CWM on the gtablet (which had firmware 1.2) and got locked out of the boot loader (however I could go into the normal GUI).

Eventually I got to this roebeet's post to nvflash the tablet and did so, this caused me to get locked in APX mode (it would always boot into APX) for the longest while (tried NVFlashing 1.2 stock and with CWM and didn't get any different results).

Right before I returned the gtablet I decided to try one more thing, in the same dropbox he points to, there's a "deprecated (do not use)" folder, following a lead from some post here in xda I nvflashed that and got the gtablet back to life (did the happy dance for about half an hour); yet this is where I get confused, I could swear it now said I was running firmware 1.0... I'm not 100% sure because i went straight into installing CWM (as described in the cyanogenmod wiki) and cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 on the gtablet (which works great).

Now here are the questions I have, and hopefully someone can answer some of them:

1) Anybody knows if I really flashed Tap n Tap 1.0, which throws me off when I try to answer myself the question "am I on 1.1 or 1.2"?

2) Why would it get lock down everytime I tried to nvflash any 1.2 variant?

3) Is the gtablet really unbrickable? or can you really kill it through bad nvflash habits or something?

4) Would it be safe for me to try and nvflash 1.2 or 1.1 on it try other roms?, do i really need to do such a thing if I have CWM working already?

I thanks in advance for all your answers,

rantsh

Also, according to many tech sites I frequent, the SGII is on par with (and in some cases better) than the Galaxy Nexus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] krips2003:
It's simply awesome. Also, I've read that the nexus prime doesn't have Gorilla glass and SGS2 have it. Though ICS does look amazing, and when it's available for us officially or unofficially from our beloved devs, SGS2 will be an awesomess phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
Get ready for a lot of satisfied people here.

I love this phone after a year with my captivate. I wouldn't say the screen is noticibly cripser, but its amazing.

I was disappointed with the Nexus. Check this forum, there are several posts about the SGS II vs Nexus discussion. The screen has a higher resolution, but its pentile, so its not a true comaprison.

The biggest feature about the Nexus will be faster updates for new android (vanilla) versions, but that's really the only difference to consider. Other than that the SII is comporable or better in almost every regard.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] captivatingtab:
I am happy I didn't wait for the Galaxy Nexus. My Captivate was a great phone but the GSII is better in every way and the Nexus isn't a big enough improvement to warrant the supposedly higher price I've heard will come with the Nexus. But it all comes down to preference so if you feel the Nexus specs are worth waiting for then by all means wait for it but the GSII is definitely the beast it's made out to be.

I came from the Cappy also (still have it as a backup and.my wife's also). The SGS2 is a WHOLE LOT SMOOTHER and refined feeling. I never felt I bad lag in my captivate but after using the SGS2 my cappy feels slow. As much as I don't believe in or care for quadrant scores I think the LOWEST I got on stock was in the 3500 range and at least somewhere into the 4000+'s

Yes it is the beast it is made out to be.

Even if you set your cappy to 1.6Ghz as long as it runs smooth it does not compare to the SGS2 running at 1.2Ghz.

It is hard to describe ALL the differences between the SGS2 and cappy but it is noticeably better than the cappy. I too prefer it over the specs of the Google Nexus as for me I prefer a 8Mp camera. From what I have read the size of the device is NOT that much bigger than the SGS2 (total size) it just doesn't have the soft buttons at the bottom and uses that as part of the screen. So that part does sound good to me. The SGS2 doesn't seem to have lockups like the cappy could have on occasion, it just runs better. It is already using EXT4 standard as opposed to on the cappy having to run a lagfix that converted the cappy to EXT4.

SO basically YES IT IS A BEAST IT IS MADE.OUT TO BE...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudferret:
A Launcher in and of itself isn't going to make a HUGE difference.

The Launchers that I've used in order of least (generally) to most battery consumption:

ADW

Go Launcher

Regina (okay this one will likely result in a noticeable difference)

You can basically pick any of those and won't notice a deal breaking amount of battery use, with the exception of Regina. I'll be forked if I can remember all the other Launchers I've tried/have as well; 90% of the time it's Go Launcher for me.
