Hi everybody,

As you probably know the WP7 Marketplace doesn't allow our HD2 whithout some tricks and it's always a bit boring after changing our WP7 ROM to reinstall all our apps, having to do it one by one.

That is why I made this simple application that allow you to install many apps with one click !

Instructions :

1. Extract the zip

2. Put all your XAPs in the XAP folder

3. Launch WP7App Restore.exe

4. Click on Install all the XAP in the XAP folder

Credits to eried for the deployer.

DOWNLOAD

PS: I will soon put a lot of XAP online for you

Screen :
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] joplayer:
To Do list :

- Drag and Drop XAPs on the app

- Stop installation when you want

Changelog :

- V1.0 : Initial release (3 March)

- V1.1Alpha : Correct the space bug + shows the progress of the installations (8 March)

Known Issues :

- [SOLVED] V1.0 Can't install XAP that has spaces in the name : Solution : Solved in V1.1, download the latest version or just rename your XAP into a name without spaces
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Marvlesz:
Thanks for the effort, and btw, any app you download through zune (pc) it get redownloaded automatically when flashing another ROM (must be same ID)

But thanks, As most of my apps are downloaded through the market place (phone) :D .
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] m_yousufi:
Thanks and good job, downloading now. After trial I can give you remarks .
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] kwstas147:
good job man
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Olli2:
Wanted to install the HTC Battery Tool.xap and the latest SHCamera App.xap with the tool on the last XBoxMod ROM on my HD2. After starting WP7 App Restore, I received the message: "Status: Stopped. Incorrect Arguments". Whats my problem?

Thanks, Olli2
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] joplayer:
Thanks for reporting that,

This problem happens if you open WP7-deploy directly.

Do you open "WP7App Restore.exe" and not "WP7-deploy.exe"

Other problem could be if you didn't put the XAP you want to install in the XAP folder but that shouldn't affect the app.

If that doesn't solve your problem please tell me the OS you are using :)

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Olli2:
My OS ist Win7 x86. I opened the "WP7App Restore.exe" with admin rights. The xaps (both) I copied in XAP folder, the XAP folder is in the WP7App Restore folder.

Zune is running, but not active and minimized.

Thanks for helping, Olli2.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] joplayer:
OK so first I have to say that I have been able to reproduce the error. I know where I have to work and that is a good start.

I made a new build for you. I attached it to my post.

Please tell me if it corrected the problem.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Olli2:
Now I tried the new version, it is different from the first version.

First I run WP7App Restore.exe with admin rights. The next window shows "C:\WP7AppRestoe\XAP\HTC BATTERY TOOL.xap -dsr" in this window I click the OK button. The next windows shows short "Idle" and then "Status: Stopped. Incorrect arguments" (like in the first version). In this window I can click on the "Close" button. The next window I have again an "OK" button, this window shows "C:\WP7AppRestore\XAP\SHCameraApp.xap - dsr. After clicking the OK button, a window opens with "Status: Preparing". After minutes of waiting nothing will happen. So I just click on the "Cancel" button.

Hope this helps you.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] joplayer:
Thanks that helped me to find an issue.

The app couldn't install files with a space in the name :(

Now this issue is solved.

The long Status:Preparing is more problematic for me...

Try the new version I attached to this post :)

Oh and for the others V1.1 coming soon :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Olli2:
Sorry, now I only get the "Status: Preparing" and nothing happens for minutes. It doesn´t matter if there is a space in the name of the xap file.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] joplayer:
Have you got the .net Framework 4 installed? That may be because of that?

You must have installed the tools to install a normal XAP too : such as developer SDK
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] joplayer:
Hi guys

V1.1 Alpha is out !

Adds Files with spaces support and now displays the status of the installation :)

See first post for the download ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] arifqur:
Thank you Sir.

Very nice app indeed.

A must-have for wp7
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Pauldimar:
Works fine ! thnx ^^
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Patric1972:
Thanx ! Good app. ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Zahurtex:

Hi,

Did you install WP7 SDK and developper tools on your PC ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] brooon:
I have installed it, but reinstalled it again after your post and it works fine now...thanks for your very fast service ;)

Great app... testing right now ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] X4iVaz:
Does this sign the xaps, so that marketplace will tell us that there is an update avail?

Because, Im currently using that MultiXAPInstall, and for some reason, the marketplace on my phone, never tells me that there is an update waiting....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] joplayer:
Yes the XAPs should be signed :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] m_mansour2:
Hi

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] TheEdge24:
If i install apps like this, will I get updates from marketplace?

thank you ...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] violette58:
i was stuck on the preparing stage and then i downloaded the developer tools and now it goes past the preparing stage, but i get this message when its trying to connect to the device.

"something is not working. trying again to deploy to the device, check if it is not in the lock screen." then it reads "error deploying to the device. Please reconnect the phone and retry"

i've reconnected multiple times with zune open and closed and i still receive the same error. i have also tried running as administrator, same error. i am running Windows 7 x64. please let me know what i am doing wrong, thank you.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] joplayer:
Hi everybody, sorry for the long time to reply.

First, to everyone : Mango SDK DOES NOT work with the installer.

It seems that your ROM hasn't got some kind of unlimited unlocking, it happens on some ROMs, which one are you using? If you are not on Nodo you can still use Chevron WP7, otherwise I fear that you will need some kind of reinstallation.

Based on experience, not always, sorry for not being precise but sometimes worked for me, sometimes no ;(

Maybe more related to the XAP than to the way you install it.

And of course you won't be notified of updates for paid apps for sure.

To install the WP7 SDK correctly for unlocked devices, please do not forget to change this registry key on your computer, that may sometimes solve the problem :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\ProxyPorts]“DeviceReg” to a dword with the following value : 000069C5
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] violette58:
it is already set to that value. i am using BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA WP7 SERIES V5 (build 7.0.7392.0) not sure what else i can do.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] joplayer:
Could you PM me the file you are trying to install because for me the app works well with NoDo. (Xboxmod build)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] usach:
Hi I just have my HTC Surround and i want to install apps, but i cant. The wp7 App Restore shows me this:

"something is not working. trying again to deploy to the device, check if it is not in the lock screen." and later "error deploying to the device. Please reconnect the phone and retry".

I have installed the WP7 SDK tools, so i dont know what to do, please help me!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] joplayer:
Is your device unlocked?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Archeronx:
thank you great work
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] usach:
yes, it is unlocked
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] jackrabbit72380:
im haveing the same issue discribed hear!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Patric1972:
Pay attention that the screen is not locked, i.e. slide the screen to unlock the device and keep it unlocked until the install finishes... scroll a bit up or down the menu and the like...
[Xoom General] notmybbq:
Does anyone know how to hide pictures in Honeycomb like you could with Gingerbread/Froyo and before?

You used to be able to put a period in front of a folder (.video) and it would not show up in the gallery. I've tried this and it fails.

Yes, this is partially because there is pictures that no one needs to see (girlfriend and what not), but its also because I do use it for work and have pictures of NDA projects. If I'm showing a customer pictures of their project, I can't be showing the other pictures as well.

If anyone has found a decent work around please let me know.
[Xoom General] El Daddy:
Try .nomedia
[Xoom General] diaa08:
did you try placing a .nomedia file in the folder you want to hide? that works for me. i just made an empty text file on my desktop then renamed it .nomedia and then copied it to folders i don't want to show up in gallery
[Xoom General] notmybbq:
I was not aware that this worked. Thank you guys!
[Xoom General] notmybbq:
False alarm I suppose. Did you do this in Honeycomb? i just deposited a .nomedia file in each directory and they still show up.
[Xoom General] musashiken:
Ok I found out how to get this working.

The .nomedia method still works.

But you cannot create a nomedia file in Honeycomb, you have to copy it to your Xoom from the PC.

Once you copy the nomedia file to the folders you want to be hidden, you have to REBOOT your Xoom. Yes, for some reason the method won't work straight away, you need to reboot the Xoom for the effect to take place.

Unless you know a way for the Xoom to refresh the cache or relist the internal storage files.
[Xoom General] Moricon:
Would SDscan work?

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
The trick is to rescan after creating the nomedia file. Rebooting is the easiest way but there are others (tools on market to force rescan.)
[Xoom General] singraham:
Or you could use QuickPics and set the folders to hidden :)
[Xoom General] jase33:
I used astro (free in market) and created a new folder called .data and put pics in that do not show in gallery. I tried doing this first from the PC and it did not work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE CONTINUING:

We are changing to a new build system which will result in an updated but VERY different ROM underneath the hood. There is a HIGH POSSIBILITY that building in the current state could BRICK your device, potentially PERMANENTLY. PLEASE DO NOT FLASH unless you are HIGHLY confident you know what you're doing.

For kernel building, see post #2.

For known issues and changelog, see post #3.

Kanged from the CM-Wiki. Yes it's a wiki, yes I could have created an epic page, but we aren't official yet.

Install ADB

Install the Android SDK.

Install the Build Packages

Install using the package manager of your choice:

For 32-bit & 64-bit systems:

git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool

For 64-bit only systems:

g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib

NOTE: On Ubuntu 10.10, and variants, you need to enable the parter repository to install sun-java6-jdk:

add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ maverick partner"

Create the Directories

You will need to set up some directories in your build environment.

To create them:

mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/android/system

Install the Repository

Enter the following to download make executable the "repo" binary:

curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

NOTE: You may need to reboot for these changes to take effect.

Now enter the following to initialize the repository:

cd ~/android/system/
repo init -u git://github.com/EpicCM/android.git -b teamhacksung-merge
repo sync -j16

Download RomManager and Google Files

NOTE: This only needs to be done when an update to RomManager or GoogleApps is released. If you are up-to-date, you may skip to Building CyanogenMod.

cd ~/android/system/
./build.sh prepare

Building CyanogenMod

First, check for updates in the source:

cd ~/android/system/
repo sync

Configure Build & Compile

Now, the environment must be configured to build and the ROM compiled, from code, for the epic.

cd ~/android/system/
. build/envsetup.sh
./build.sh epic

Build failed? Check post #3 for common problems and solutions.

Install

1. The build system should create a flashable zipfile. Place it on the root of your sdcard.

Optional: Download Google Apps for CyanogenMod 7 and place it on the root of the SD card.

2. Boot into a custom recovery like ClockworkMod Recovery and flash the CM7 update.zip. Then flash google apps if you like.

Please don't flash yet, unless you want an expensive doorstop.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
This section of the guide will inform you on how to build a CM7-compatible kernel using our github sources.

Download the Code

Due to the way the new build system works, you'll need the entire CM source to build a proper kernel. (Sorry)

Follow the steps in post #1 to initialize and download our entire CM source repository.

Keeping your code up-to-date:

cd ~/android/system
repo sync

Toolchain setup

The new build system automatically utilizes the toolchain included in CM7 source.

Prepare to build

The kernel build script requires a few environment vars be set by the CM build system.

cd ~/android/system/
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch cyanogen_epic-eng

Compile the kernel

cd ~/android/system/kernel/samsung/2.6.35/
./build.sh epic
cd ~/android/system/releasetools/
./kernel.sh epic

You should now have a flashable zip in out/target/product/epic/

Please don't flash yet, unless you want an expensive doorstop.

This is also incompatible with stock roms, and unless you're amazing, never will be compatible.

Any clue what causes a build to fail due to unable to dopen system/lib/egl/libandroid_servers.so. When I build with boardconfig has generic audio I'm fine, when I set has galaxys audio it fails
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
Audio in and out works if you leave it at default values.

If you absolutely want to compile with galaxys audio, it looks like ./extract-files.sh might not be pulling that file? Check ~/android/system/vendor/samsung/epic/proprietary/lib/egl/ for that file.

:D \m/ I got cm7 compiled

So here are nullghosts instructions:

open android/system/device/samsung/epic/full_epic.mk for editing and

Then open extract-files.sh for editing and make sure Copy Files (from mid to bottom) list is same as files list (at top)

add these 2 lines to

section of extract-files.sh

If you have any other file missing read below:

head -197 extract-files.sh > files may come in handy to compare 2 files

are the 2 lines in copy files which did not have corresponding files

Depends on your package manager. Those packages are the names in Ubuntu, so you could just `apt-get install <all those packages>` from a terminal if you're using Ubuntu.

Which linux distribution are you using so I can give you a better answer?

There's the EE03 official beta leak, but I can't vouch for its stability as I've not tested it.
