Hi, following XDA user djamol tutorial, I've created an helper that allows in less click to patch system app to use OEM APIs

This app is based on This tutorial from this topic (ok... seems that there's no more tutorial there)

Remember that you need an SD card into your phone!

NOTE | I've updated this app to 0.7 and some of the functionalities are changed, so some of the tutorials created for 0.6 or less may be obsolete!

how does this work?

Detailed instructions are available within the app. Just swipe to go to the next section.

FAQ

Q: I'm getting ACCESS DENIED error

A: When you get this error, an error message will appear, make sure that "SD Card permissions" is GREEN and not RED

Q: the app crashed immediately after patch

A: ehm... I don't know, please advice me within this topic. Try to deploy again the app.

Q: Preview For Developers (or other apps) vanished from app list and I can't reinstall or unistall

A: Use Storage Sense to unistall the app

Q: Can I restore original apps?

A: Sure! Unistall and reinstall the target app

OTHER TROUBLESHOOTING

> Remove/unistall the app from the app list within your phone

> Be sure that in Storage Sense default location for app storage is INTERNAL MEMORY

> Deploy the app with "Windows Phone Application Deployment 8.1" (the 8.1 is relly important, the name may change, don't use 8.2, 8.0 or without numbers). Some Visual Studio versions have multiple deployers included, use the 8.1 version.
