[Q] Question about Apps wm7 - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i realize it may have been posted before tho i cant find it any where so here goes
my question is simple out from i can gather wm7 is gonna be pure apple like with market and such and also means u cant attach your phone to your pc and transfer a app to it as u could with the old wm 6.5.x etc and to get a app on wm7 u need to put on the market as its the only way to install now.
have i understood that correctly ?
only reason im trying to find this out is that i have som apps i use on my old 6.5.x that would re write but its some personaly programs that only i use and i dont want on the market will it be possible to install them with out havin to put it on the market is my real question and not to mention u have to pay big load to just be able to put it on the market the first place and its not even sure ms wil let on there the first place
wil it be possible to install apps with out to be forced to publish them ?
regards
mad

I'm in the same situation as you and yes you will have to pay $99 a year for a marketplace account to install your applications but you don't have to publish them on the marketplace. Once your device is registered you can load the app from your pc using the "Application Deployment" app that comes with the SDK. Your app will never touch the marketplace.

thx ren that what was the info i was looking for little sad tho that u forced to pay to put programs on phone u basicaly payed ****loads for then again it is ms

Yeah I second that feeling. What about people that just want to develop for themselves. Your only choice is to try to make your money back by selling them in the market place

I don't remember where but I read when you sign up on the marketplace you get assigned a GeoTrust cert that Microsoft has to pay for and that's why it costs you money. Of course if Microsoft didn't lock the phone down so much this cert wouldn't be necessary but that's the way they want it.

it's also to limit privacy, and entice professional developers to the platform, that they know with a lot more certainity that when they make an application which should be paid for, that it's not just going to end up on some website as an individual file (.cab) with a serial provided to get around actually paying for the application.

Free apps for LGKS20??

Fav Apps
Hi All,
Just got a phone from korea Which is very cool!
I was wondering if there any cool or new app that can run on my phone.
My phone is a LG KS20........touch screen.
Any advice really appricated!
Thanks,
i heard there is a free app called google search. It is fun, painless, and most of all free!!!!
I found some free apps for your phone see HERE
Now you can search and find some too
You've got yourself a Windows Mobile phone - congratulations.
There's a plethora of free apps for WM out there, and Google will indeed point them out for you. You need to read around (a lot) and try them out (a lot). Always remember to note the forum rules.
Most of the apps from this site should work on your KS20 - should, because a) this is an XDA site after all and some apps & mods will be XDA-specific, and b) the KS20 doesn't support all WM apps as well as it should. Look out for dedicated LG or KS20 forums - I know there are a few.
Btw, I gave my KS20 back six months ago because of a battery bug, because audio output in satnav apps doesn't work and because support for a few important other WM apps is poor. These bugs have turned up all around the planet - it's all there in the forums, but I didn't know that before I bought mine. It's a nice sleek device with a good touch screen, but it just didn't work for me. If they haven't managed to put that right yet, and if you can still give it back to the vendor, you might consider getting - well, an XDA.
N.
This belongs in the Questions and Answers thread. Almost everything should work on your phone if its running WM6. Might wanna check the resolution on the programs before you download them and any other prerequisites
Lgks20
Lol oppsss......i sorry
i am new to this site
Yeah.....OMG this site is the man
lol
i have an iphone theme on my phone already and i am trying to find more app to put on my phone
i want GAlarm on my phone, but i trying to find one,but i can't (help)
And a website would be helpful guys Thx
i just new to this website and having trouble finding what i need
I have the same phone... its windows mobile, that means there are thousands of apps
But you should check out fingermenu that's great...
i can give you a few tips though... dont expect to run too many graphics heavy apps like PointUI Home 2 or winterface it just cant handle them, LG forgot the drivers
it can handle SPB shell and PointUI Home 2 though so some works...
also keep you proof of purchase near might just be me unlucky but ive had mine on service two times in less than six months, on time i got a battery bug the status wouldnt update always 100% and the battery time was very short too... and now the screen got yellow spots on it so service again
just look trough these forums every now and then and you will find plenty of great apps

You will need WM6.5 on your phone for this to work.

why are you calling this a theme? you've just grabbed a bunch of other peoples work (.cabs) and installed them on you phone...
and you need Window Mobile 6.5 for almost all of these to work.
hh
what im tired this all im trying to do is make somthing for us that uses wm7 but its a titanuim plus the orignal one doest have that much on it .thats why i descided to put all these plugins into one file so you dont have to go download one by one and other noncence

if you want to find things that work on 6.5 and put them here for new members (noobs) so they don't have to look, then that's fine. but don't claim that you made them. all you can claim is that your using them on your phone and using some of their components for your upcoming windows phone 7 theme. give more information so that people know what version of windows mobile they need, what they're installing (the more info you write, the less questions people have and less upset people will get). keep in mind that a lot of people are still using windows mobile 6.1, the titanium cabs won't work on wm6.1, so if people install them they'll have to hard reset after words to get their phones back to the way it was, i know this from first hand experience and give some credit to the people that did make the .cabs your putting here.
dfd
ok i would next time
sh
some these works for standard phones and professional phones to the plugins
wierd but cool
the weird things is that mostly all those plug ins are for windowsmobile professional devices but my phone can run all types of touch screen apps or themes to it. Thats weird.that could be another reason the files are not working properly for other phones including not have the 6.5rom on it.The thing i manage to get on my device that i think was a windowstouch theme was that titanium wm7 theme that i found for touchscreen devices .for right now im really trying to get raxbot creation or lessco creation of the windowsmobile7 series app to work on my phone .the good thing it lets me in the app but the functions of the arrows dont work properly.But i had found this app that gives your phone a mouse cursor pointer just like your computer haves to navigate around the screen and this was another touchscreen app that manage to work on my phone i only have 1 problem with it that im try to figure out im using it for Jaxbot wm7 app and maybe going to use it on lessco to.that is all for now
oh and ya im going to fix it the other theme so it will work properly and just work for other devices and ya xboxlive would be coming and some other neat features would be coming that windowsmobile7series going to have to. I would be having people work on this with me to make it happen and to see would it be possible to work on standard devices if you want to get on this project just replied to this or just message me and the people that will help would get credit for making this. and name will be on my youtube account for hundreds of people to see who creates apps and themes for windowsmobile and people who just like it
Thanks, worked great on my Moto Q9h
cool
it works on your phone now
fv
what are you doing to make it work because dont know why its not working for others. wait are you usin the individual files or u using the one that have everything built in one file

free navitation?

Hi, i started posting this in another forum here on xda but i guess it will be better to post it here.
I am looking for a free gps-system to my HCT HD2, and by free i also mean offline!!
If anybody knows a way to reset the trial on CoPilot that would be fine too, but i'm not going to do a hard reset...
I have looked in the post with all the apps for HD2 under GPS but i cant find a free navigation system. I have tried the NavyComputer and i love the way it works, but theres no GPS inbuild (unless you record a road and then play it).
Thx Qwak

i know i might just should buy one but i know that if i buy the copilot v8, in a month there will be a CoPilot v9, so im really just looking for some freeware...
I know that i can keep saying that there will come something new out all the time and therefore i should not buy anything but i just dont need a GPS that much.. its most for fun...
Use google because there's too many apps to post. Some work in the way that you download the maps off google maps and it uses it's program to navigate through them. Just search and you'll find it. Only thing is, you get what you pay for. Some work great in some areas, but others report problems in others.
well..
I did a google search before posting but it came up with alot of programs that used the 3g-network to get the positions witch is not free, nor very precise!! Neigher of the programs had a navigations-system inbuild so it was just to see where you were and maybe record a road...
I was just hoping that someone had tried a good one and would share that with us...
Or mayeb if someone had a list of available gps-programs so i could test them myself...
Thx Qwak
such I already mentioned before, thair are two difrent gps cistems thay who worked on a stand alone based, I will mean thay have there maps on your sd and don't beet a 3g connection thay works
ore the sistems like Google maps, it is free but it needs 3g and I don't see it like a gps but more like a plan who says where you are.
by the way I don't know about withc software application you was talking about but with my full lecence I have access on evry update fore a year! and if I will next yer also have the new updates it caust me only 35$!? so I don't think a really software is so expensive!
certainly not if you can bay you a htc hd2, bay a gps license will also work!?
and if you are looking fore cracks; you lost your time here! the ruels are clear here.
Don't use google maps, use Bing maps since it has actual navigation.
I prefer it over google maps, for now.
Bing is great. you can find it in Marketplace.
thx
Thx for the bing app, its surely better than googlemaps, although its on english... anybody knows if theres a danish pack for it?
I incidently re-newed my Copilot Live 8 trial by simply removing the licp8.dat file from the windows folder! Good luck!
I have OnStar and compared it to Bing. Bing seems (MHO) a lot better than OnStar.
1. Cost is free with Bing compare to OnStar $ per year.
2. Can set up route prior to getting into car.
3. If I deviate from route, Bing immediately does a re-route without asking.
4. Bing notifies you of turns 1/2 mile, 1,000 Feet.
5. When you are close to destination, Bing tells you whether it is on the Right or Left side of road.
Again, just my opinion, any comments?
Cheers
Hi, I just wanted to say Thank you to Megarock. Removing the icp8.dat file gave me another 15 day trial to play with. Brill
omg, IT WORKS
Thanx soo much Megarock, now i have free copilot forever!!
Though, you have to set it up again every time, but i found a way around that:
1. Delete the licp8.dat form the windows folder.
2. Open copilot and set up a new account and all the other stuff
3. backup the new licp8.dat to your memory card
4. when the trial expires just delete the licp.dat and copy the other one to your windows-folder.
(the one you copy to the windows folder is the backup you made 15 days ago, just after finishing the setup)
Hoped it helped someone
Thx again, Qwak

Developers Unlock Help

Hi there, I got a free account for APP Hub because im a student, however I cant seem to unlock my device? It wont let me? I verified my e-mail however it still wont let me unlock when I use the windows phone tools. Please help
Just found out that i need to make a dummy app, thanks anyway! However can i sideload as many apps as i want to or is there a limit? If there is a limit how many? As I might just use chevron!
With the student account you can only side load 5 apps, how ever there is a tool somewhere that can fix this problem.
Search my posts and you will find it.
thanks i found the tool, the problem is trying to make a dummy app, i have no idea
Do as i did
Find an app that you know will never be allowed in the market place, or one thats been rejected for some reason. Im sure you can find some if you look around

[Q] Navitel Navigator 7 for windows phone 7.5

Is anyone using this? I am on 30 day trial mode and using an open source map from navigasi.net for indonesia, and it works well. However, I am looking for a way to buy a license to use the app..
Has anyone had a similar issue with me, due to the fact that the only way to buy a license from them is to buy a map (which comes with the needed license). I do not need any maps from navitel since they only sell european maps..
Would I be able to use the license, say if I buy a russian map from their website, and then still use my indonesian map?
note: Mods please move this thread if it is posted on the wrong forum site. cheers
Hey, how did you push the map on your phone? I think it's jailbroken?!?
I also have older maps of african countries which i used with navitel on Windows mobile 6.5. it worked very well on that platform.
Would like to use it again on 7.8 but don't know to apply that maps.
Yes i am using custom rom, latest deepshining 7.8. After u download the app, it tells u that u can put your own map in designated folder (it tells u where exactly, so no guessing ). In your case, as long as ur phone is jailbroken, i am sure u can use ur old files.
Just try it, u can use trial license which gives u 30 days.
Now, back to my question, anyone?
Thanks a lot Joseph, but my Lumia 800 is not jailbroken
