Guest contable Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) Hi there, as it looks a little bit difficult to find shared homebrew apps for unlocked WP7 devices I decided to start this thread. Note: The attached .xap files you only can install on your device if it´s unlocked with ChevronWP7 or an official developer license. All you need for unlocking your device you can find here:XDA Thread ChevronWP7 unlocker and cert How to sideload more than 10 apps ? Unlock your device with a modded ChevronWP7 version: ChevronWP7_NoSideloadLimit.zip Credits to xda user hounsell How to prevent phone re-locking while synching ? Before connecting the phone to the workstation turn on airplane mode. Credits to xda user hounsell But how to re-unlock the device after synch with zune ? 1. Have Winphone developer tools installed 2. Connect Phone via USB 3. Wait till zune starts and sync completes 4. Verify that zune is not in a guest relationship 5. open a command prompt, type netstat -a to confirm that port 443 is not being used 6. open an admin command prompt, navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ then type notepad hosts and delete any references to windowsphone developer services 7. go to the settings on the phone and turn airplane mode on (so that the phone is forced to use internet via zune) 8. While the phone is still on the settings page, run Chevron with admin privileges Credits go to xda user sushovande ! How to deploy .xap files to my phone ? 1.

Guest awarner Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Nice idea, will this be Omnia7 only? otherwise may be worth placing it as a pinned topic in the WP7 software section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest contable Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) Nice idea, will this be Omnia7 only? otherwise may be worth placing it as a pinned topic in the WP7 software section. No. If there is any device specific restriction I will add a hint (like touchexplorer that atm only works on HTC devices). I opened the thread in OMNIA7 section because it´s my device... If you want move the thread to the WP7 software section. Cheers and best wishes for 2011 contable Edited January 1, 2011 by contable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aximtreo Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Tried every way I could think of and could not get the unlock to recognize my Focus. Zune shows it connected but ChevronWP7 cannot find a connection. I did the "cert email and is says it installed the certificate OK. Sorry for the wrong posting area but I thought someone here could offer suggestions. By the way, somehow my focus got corrupted and I had to do a hard reset to get things back to where I could reload everything. I don't know if the two things are connected or not. Thanks, Happy New Year!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Happy New Year!!! Did you modify the registry of your workstation before trying to unlock your Focus ? If not add the following file to the registry of your workstation: ChevronWP7.rar => Go to startmenu and type in the search field: regedit after that import the registry file => unlock your device as described in the xda thread If your phone is unlocked the ChevronWP7.exe shows a relock button. The best way to test it is installing an app with Tom xap installer. Cheers contable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the moderator team confirms I will post them, too. Cheers contable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Technically as long as you are not releasing the application as your own it shoudl be ok, as hopefully everyone is aware no commercial (paid) apps are allowed and posting such may result in your account being closed. Altering the icon is an interesting idea but I would suggest the developer is informed if you with to publish their work. They may not have a problem with it but at least if you ask and they say no it can be removed without causing too much trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway this should be a place only for released homebrew apps. What I will do is posting a "How to change the icons of a xap file" so that the users are able to customise their homebrew apps by themselves.
