Hey guy's, I brought a new HTC 8s on our independence day replacing my explorer. It is too good to see but many issues in it (possibly will be fixed in next updates). The only thing I want on it that to use the non-store apps. I have tried but the downloaded files are showing unsupported error message. As windows support .xap files (as .apk in android as we know), so I don't think it will create any issue by using non-store apps.
please suggest........

Hello, I don't know but I think that Windows Phone is the same of iOS ecosystem: you can download Apps only from Windows Phone Store.
Even though you can manually download xap file, store it on Sd-Card, the installation procedure will look to the Windows Phone Store to verify it. No way to install application without the Store.

but no developer is interested to create apps or games as compared to Android

You need verify the Application by Windows Phone Store. The same of iOS Applications' Market.

Is there a way to get MSN Messenger onto my phone for free or is it a purchase only? I found an old version of Messenger for pocket pc 2002 ( it was via a thread at this board ) which after installation on my phone showed the MSN icon but didn't do anything. There was some update file which I needed as well to make it work but microsoft had deleted it. I'm just looking for messenger the same as it is on my pc, with standard smileys, etc, not one of those messenger clones. Thanks.

Thanks man. Unfortunately, after it goes through the process of trying to install the .CAB file on my phone, it says installation unsuccessful. Not sure why tbh. On their error screen, they say it could be insufficient memory, device may not support it, or that my carrier (T-Mobile) may not allow it. As it installs, it doesn't give me an option to install to either the device or my storage card. Any suggestions?

Excellent, I got it working! I tried out duttythroy's 1.80mb cab file and it worked. Well actually, it said successful install but there was nothing to find of the program anywhere on my device except in remove programs. So I decided to look in my device/windows folder, and all the WLM files were in there. I clicked on the WLMMessenger.exe and it went through the set up process, merging contacts and signing me in. Thank you JamminJaguar and duttythroy.
No problem, now buy my Nike.

Actually, I ended up installing this, uninstalling it and reinstalling it, because I did something wrong with the setup. On the first install, messenger, windows live services and and search bar all showed up on my phones desktop which was great. This time, it's not showing at all for some reason. Maybe because on the second install I decided to untick the search bar and services? So I've copied the WLMMessenger.exe from the windows folder and pasted it into my device/program files folder and that works.

im not and idiot or a noob, im tyring to post legitimate feedback on an android rom i am currently using but i need 10 posts so here is one more, thanks for this stupid rule! 8
I have been using Droid ROMS, MODS and kernels since the G1.
Am I missing something? or is there no preinstalled File Manager?
Preinstalled apps, and google apps are the only apps allowed to write/edit to the miceSD card, so why wouldn't HTC install one?
Already regretting getting this phone, since I download a Lot of work files via my phone, and now I'm unable to move them from the downloads folder to the proper folder on the microSD.
Just downloaded one from Google play, loads to choose from.

Well I tried it, but that app, just like all the other ones on the play store do not let you move files from the phone memory to the microSD.
It won't let you Delete anything either...
All you can do is view the microSD. No writes can be made to it.
Android 4.4 won't let the apps do that anymore. (Unless rooted)

Yes the files on the microSD can be altered via the PC. But apps like airDroid won't work anymore.
Working all the go, I don't have time to stop to plug the phone up to the computer every time I need to move/rename/delete a file.

same boat here. I copy via USB2go all the time on my Note 3, and this is crippled for the M8. There's a work around, but you need to unlock the boot loader first, which for me is a pain, since it will reset the phone. I'm pretty OCD and it takes me some time to set everything up the way I like it. At this point, i'm just doing the PC transfer thing.

Google Drive saves any downloaded files to the internal memory, under the download folder. And there is no way to change where its saved to (that I know of)
It was just a poor choice of Google to disallow 3rd Party Apps from emaking changes to the external memory. They should have atleast
Made it a requirement for the manufacturer to include a file manager. Or Google them self should have. I understand they trying to push people to use Google Drive, but until data usage is free I won't used Google Drive to save nothing more than Google docs.

A google backed file manager with full write permissions would be awesome, but that would be going against what they are trying to accomplish.
First of all, if you performed factory reset due to upgrading issue you will lost Here Drive+ and Maps. Windows 10 Mobile system can't install it form Store after recovering and even if you sign up for backup during the initial process.

Make your phone Interop unlocked first, Xda's 2-click easy way to do this - http://bit.ly/1V4NnCG
Little helper in Polish - http://bit.ly/1J7fGV4
Below you will find attached latest version of Here Drive and Here Maps to deploy after Interop unlock. Enjoy!
(Unzip both files first)
Thnx! I missed Here Drive

Misc HERE app packages; repacked and retail.
The packages with "retail" in file name are probably the ones you want.
The retail method does not require Interop unlock.
1. Download retail package(s) to phone.
2. Put phone in developer mode (settings -> for developers)
3. Tap the file in File Explorer app on phone, and confirm install
4. Once installed. check for updates in the Store.
Retail packages are also available on onedrive: http://1drv.ms/1Oix4sO
Remove .zip extension if downloading from the forum.
Do you have here commute?

Are these apps in any way hacked? Because I tried the same way with Lumia Camera 4.9.4.1 downloaded from Microsoft's server and it does't work. I get "End of Central Directory record could not be found"

You can't sideload xap/appx downloaded directly from the Store. Have a try Lumia Camera from first post.

A dialogue briefly appeared on which i saw an "install" button but it closed before I could use it. No new app in app list. Why suggestions?

Xap/appx file is damaged. Happens to me all the time when deploying apps, Try finding a different version, get a different app deployment, If that doesn't work then i don't know.

you cant deploy original xap files (encrypted) from store. that way you get damaged file error. simple test: rename xap to zip and try open...

it is possible but you still have to use one whatsapp app you can do this only on interop unlocked devices
try the following steps
1.) once you have installed app data manager App (you can find it in the windows 10 mobile thread) link given
2.) make a account on whatapp (the first account)
3.) go to app data manage tool and backup the state name it account 1
4.) reset the app
5.) now again make the second account
6.) again backup the state name it account 2
7.) once you used one account and want to use another account you need to restore
backup named account 2 or 1
yes it is complicated a little bit once you get use to it you can run more than five accounts of whatsapp from one app on your windows phone
first you have to install https://forum.xda-developers.com/wi...s-and-games/app-app-data-manage-tool-t3443623
Hi guys,
I am currently selling my Lumia 920 with Windows 10 Mobile installed thanks to a guide somewhere on xda. I have a buyer but he insist on having Whatsapp on the phone. On my Microsoft account I installed the app on the Windows Store without any problem. After restoring the phone, when he puts his account, he can't install the app because it says the device is not supported... I guess it is because the app was on my download history but not in his.
I tried to install the file via the XAP file but it doesn't work (I guess because it comes from the store and it is protected somehow). Is there a solution for this issue ?
Thanks !
Wait.
