I found that deploying these xaps borks some of the other homebrew apps out there.

Scansearch in particular rendered both my homebrewed scanner and flashlight unusable on my Samsung Focus.

Just a heads up.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bugsykoosh:
The homebrew flaslight I have (From Dave Amenta) is still worknig on my Focus after scansearch is isntalled and running.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Disinto:
That's weird, I tried to deploy ScanSearch with wp7-deploy tool (along with removing signature and DRM) and I can't run it on my Omnia 7, it says it can only run on LG devices. I thought this was fixed by removing the signature?

My Omnia 7 is from SFR, unlocked to run on TrueMove (Thailand).

Any idea?

Thanks!

UPDATE!!!

People, I've upped some more exclusive LG apps for us to tinker with:

- Metro Scanner (requested)

- QR Reader (actively scans, no picture taking)

- PostNote

- Today (basically Samsung's Now app, but has a twitter page that you can see tweets from)

- Weather & Clock (think HTC Hub, but as an app)

- Updated version of Scansearch (v1.2)

See first post!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nok_fusion:
did not deploy on the wp7,i have the phone unlocked and all things is good but when i try to deploy it,it don't want :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fb401:
Some of them check to see if you're running an LG phone. Someone may need to patch these.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bugsykoosh:
Yeah they all fail to deploy to a Samsung Focus and give a certification error message.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lucasryan:
not all will work but most do on focus if you use Erieds deployer!!

well, where's that badass XBMod?! that man is "divine intervention" for wp7 ...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MrAndrewAu:
Very interesting read. So Lg's panorama shot uses compass to stitch the photos... I always thought it used visual data (luckily I have the LG quantum so I have this app). I will also use the compass to do the same in my panorama app Ztitch once Microsoft releases the compass APIs for us devs :p

btw, I'm guessing that the other manufacturers didn't finishing writing the compass drivers before release, which is why some of these apps like ScanSearch and Panorama Shot are only available to LG....?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hounsell:
With there being no common API for compass access in WP7, you have to get the data direct from the driver with a COM DLL. This means that the interface is different between manufacturers, hence why writing a compass app for one phone will work only with that phone.

Side-note: I should get round to updating my collection of "fixed" OEM Applications some time.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Disinto:
Weird, it doesn't work on my Omnia 7 even if I input the -dsr switch... Which command/parameters did you use?

gettting a manifest error..?

when I try to sideload on samsung focus, am I doing something wrong I am unlocked (or my wifi switcher wouldn't work) and I am connected. I just want the voice to text at the moment.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tkjeeper:
I tried this on my palm treo, can someone explain how to install this? I had problems with minitones as well, it was a prc file tho, I extracted the rar file and downloaded it from my comp to program files with active x and soft resetted, am I a dunce?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Disinto:
You're kidding us, right?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] FiyaFleye:
This is one of the biggest problems with a homebrew community... These apps are LG exclusives and are one of the driving points of an LG device... I guess under XDA law nothing is morally incorrect, but I see a big problem with this... You're basically stealing LG's apps to put on other devices... These aren't developer created apps...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Disinto:
It's not ethically correct per se but one's not stealing LG property per se. They paid developers to do the work - same applies for Samsung. I agree the whole thing is a bit borderline and these apps are a big selling point for LG handset but they're too good to be ignored...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fb401:
Really?! You had to come into my thread with the holier than thou crap?

Why haven't you taken your digital boycott to xboxmod's or housell's post? Or even Heathcliff74's HTC Hub post? If you don't like it, don't like it everywhere.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] FiyaFleye:
It isn't your thread, its the community's thread, and I'm sorry for having an opinion differentiating from yours... But, since you said it, I'm guessing the people who think everything ever released should automatically belong to them and should be free for them to use are the ones with the "holier than thou" attitudes...

I just gave my input as to why this unlocked, homebrew community is bad business in some cases, this just happened to be one of them.

Not to mention, I've mentioned this before elsewhere... Don't get so offended because you're the one who happened to post them.

And I'm sure these developers get revenue from every device purchased, devices which are obviously not being purchased with these being installed. I agree, great apps, and I'd more than happily pay for them to use them... But I don't think this is correct.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fb401:
The |OP| next to my user name, and the fact that in the forum it says "Originally Posted by: [my name]" indicates that this is my thread posted for the community.

I never said anything about your opinion, my point is, keep your opinion in the opinion threads. This thread here is for people to dig into the OEM apps to discover undocumented capabilities. Your post does NOTHING for this thread and is therefore useless in this context.

And no, I haven't seen you in xboxmod's HTC Test Tools post preaching to him about stealing from HTC, or housell's site preaching about him stealing from Samsung, so no, I haven't seen you many places.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pLUSpISTOL:
Calm down guys; differing opinions. Let's just get on :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] FiyaFleye:
Dude, really, you're honestly getting this bent out of shape? You're posting in a public forum, just because you started the topic doesn't make it yours, I'm fully aware of what your |OP| means. Relax, I shared an opinion, I have every right to, and my opinion does more for this thread than your XAPs do, it protects the community from potential pirated software, which is what this is borderline, and I'm leaning towards the 'is' side.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fb401:
Bent out of shape? No. Annoyed? A little due to the fact that once again, it has nothing to do with main crux of the thread and more to do with you espousing your morals. XDA does everything it can to protect the community from piracy. If the overlords deemed this piracy, this thread would not exist. Your judgment on it does not matter.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] FiyaFleye:
Considering my opinion has to do with the substance of this thread, it has everything to do with it. As for the mods... They're human like the rest of us, and may not be perfect... I'm glad my judgment does not matter for you, but it's great to know that you feel the need to shun somebody's opinion so that your image isn't damaged... I'm going to stop wasting my time in here, but I do hope LG and the other OEMs eventually have something to say about things like this.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fb401:
Again, never in this thread did I shun your opinion. I merely stated it should be in an opinion thread instead of a dev thread.

Thank you, now we can get back to the original reason for this thread's existence.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] buffalosolja42:
well interesting guys

so back to why can't I install the voice to text, this is a good for me because of safety concerns :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvin_S:
Maybe you, the holy angel, forgot how important it is to have those apps and crack them open to find ways to use native dll's so people can start working on homebrew projects. But your thinking about piracy because ten people dont pay for apps they cant even pay for even if they want to, besides buying a 500€ device? Thats crazy man, instead of blocking development with your conspiracy theories, stop being the good guy, be real. You too just like anybody else here want homebrew and developtment otherwise you would have not read this thread. Give this guy some probz instead... Goodjob OP

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tkjeeper:
thanks dustman, common sense I guess, sorry for the newb comment.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] webwalk®:
there is nothing to sense here, only open your eyes and read

people these apps in this thread are not patched, you still have to look further for patched versions, actually the new ones are not patched for all carries yet. still waiting for someone to say that he did it, then you may be able to look up his blog and download the patched version which will work on all carriers/brands
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] buffalosolja42:
Sorry true but I think that if possible, the author of this thread could place the patched ones on here it may ease some of that. Yes we all need to read more, (some of us do read alot), just that the time we do read there maybe something else going on. And sometimes ease is good ;) Thanks for these post WP7 and Nokia going to turn some heads.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Daegalus:
For those with the abilities to patch the app (I can only reflect it, not sure how to edit it):

QR Reader's LG check is under QRReader.Pages.ReadingPage the function camera_Initialized. There is a try/catch blog there that does the check (similar to the one in LGAppCommonLibrary).

If I knew how to edit the code and recompile it, i would release a patched version, but I am not sure how.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] biernes_atrece:
Three apps are working on HD7:

1. Metro Scanner (patched)

2. Photo Stylist (love this!)

3. Tool Box (cool features)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sfvancouver:
How goes the voice-to-text app after the update? If I can have LG's voice-to-text app on a Samsung Focus, then that's going to be my next phone.

Rather not have to choose an Optimus 7 for 1 app.

P.S. How can I get a developer unlocked phone. Apply to Microsoft?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] webwalk®:
yes, im using it on my htc

btw thomas how far is that work on them apps?

it seems only the oems are able to write nice apps for now :/
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sfvancouver:
Thanks. Have you updated your phone yet?

To all: will signing up @ Microsoft app hub and paying $?? negate having to use Chevron wp7 and being able to use LG apps on Samsung?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bugsykoosh:
You won't need Chevron but that doesn't mean you can load LG apps. They still need to be signed.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hounsell:
Got through the OEM Apps I could see - the XAPs are available here.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sfvancouver:
Excellent. Thank-you. I just don't want to go through the (possible) trouble of chevron wp7 after I buy the phone. It's a Samsung Focus too, so I have to use lyriquidperfection's tool to prevent unlocking.

I think I'll go that route and get the LG apps on here.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] webwalk®:
awesome thanks!

actually some weird stuff happend..

i cant deploy anything anymore..

i deinstalled old version of scansearch befor trying anything.

i didnt change either my system or my phone...

tried to deploy new apps with deskmarketplace 1.4.6, not working, tried the old scansearch again. also not... chevron sais im still unlocked...

hmmm lets see....

re-unlocked worked, also updated to deskmarket 1.6.3

MetroScanner: Error, failed to initialize compass oject: The specific network resource or device is no longer available. but is working, compass viewing north.

scansearch seems a little better.

postnote: working flawless

QRreader: working!! and damn its fast.. tried with random google qr's and i couldnt choose which one because it imeaditly used the first it saw, very very fast! the mozart made almost the same clicking sound with the cam in standby not qr in sight, maybe the autofocus, i was talking earlier about regarding scansearch. maybe not as loud as scansearch clicky.

today and weather working great too, including location.

do they have live titels? seems not :(

thx tom for fixxing this up for us.

awesome apps! lg should make them buyable..!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hounsell:
Yeh, I didn't get round to removing the error it generates from not being able to access the LG compass, but it does only pop up once when you first access the application, so I didn't consider it a breaking problem.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Knochen1981:
Nice work. Especially the today app is very nice. If you take a deeper look into the xap you can even edit the feed source that is shown under news.

Btw i got the new Youtube App from HTC working on my Omnia 7 (of course patched). Its really a nice youtube app :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] carlander:

Actually, seems they cut most of the offending issues with the original version. These days, it's just a simple designing and fixing HTCRegistry.IsHTCDevice(). Here's a link.

You got a HD7? Sweet.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sfvancouver:
You think LG will eventually make these apps available for sale?

Don't know what the policies of the marketplace are about exclusivity but I've been told by 1 person as long as the apps are published in the marketplace they will be available for everyone.

Thanks.

P.S. This (not mine) is a developer unlocked phone
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gms0012:
i only see "invalid package"..

damn.. whats going on here...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hounsell:
They have the device checks "fixed" so as to no longer restrict them to the OEM's device.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sfvancouver:
Ah I understand! So the patched ones you posted do not require an unlocked device vs the OP's?

Question to LG owners: does LG ever update their OEM apps - and would the updates get through to the patched apps as well?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fb401:
They do on a fairly regular schedule (seems to be every 3 to 4 weeks). ScanSearch & Fortune Coins were the most recent of updates.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sfvancouver:
Excellent I'm speaking to the original poster! Do the updates get through to your apps or the patched ones hounsell posted? (Still not certain what the difference between them are).

I am only interested in 1) Voice-to-text and 2) Look n type.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fb401:
HA! I'm nobody special. Since I have an LG, they just come through the market like any other app update. The only difference between the oem apps and hounsell patched apps is hounsell's will run on other OEM devices.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] epdpatrolman:
Is there any chance someone gifted enough could edit the Network Setup program to work with all LG Quantum phones and not just the ones in the list in the program? Or is it possible to add the ATT phone as one that is accepted for the program?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sfvancouver:
Now I get it! I got forwarded to this forum from a mobile site and so I didn't read the first post. :D

Thanks it's all coming together now for me.

I hope Hounsell can mention whether he gets updates - though I don't know why they would need to update voice-to-text or look-n-type often :confused:

Edit: Do patched apps require an unlocked phone?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hounsell:
They are just the unmodified XAPs pulled from the original Omnia 7 Firmware though. So out of date and no confirmation that they'll work on other devices.

I can't really help with Samsung apps, since I only have access to my own Samsung for testing, and the Emulator's only good for apps that contain no native code, most of which are portable anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sfvancouver:
I've noticed the Voice-to-text does not work with longer then 2 sentences. It just keeps processing.

Same with the "start processing after 3 seconds", it does not in my experience - it keeps going on and on - must press the "ok" button.
