How to port an App? - Windows RT General

Hi, i've got a little problem.
I mistakenly deleted an App from another account. This app is no longer available in the Appstore. But i've got it installed on my secondary account. How can i port it back? I know it's still installed, but not accessible for the second account. Any ideas?

That... is probably not easy. Anybody have a better suggestion that re-packaging the .APPX file and sideloading it? That's not a good solution, really, but I can't think of a better one offhand.

No one else got an idea?
I really don't want to sideload it. I thought someone would know what registry keys i would need to do it. I looked around and found a lot in the local user registry. I thought maybe just copy them over to get access to it, or something like that.

You could certainly try that. I'm afraid I don't really know how the modern app launching works, or I'd suggest just trying to create a launcher link right to the app. You can't start them the same way as desktop apps though, even when they have EXE files.

You could try coping the folders over. C:\Program Files\WindowsApps is where they are located. The folder is hidden and you have to take ownership to open.

Copy it over from what? It's another profile on the same computer. All profiles run apps from the same location...

[Q] Is there any way to delete 'messages' app from phone???

I was wondering if there is any way to delete the messages app from the phone and run a password protected sms app from the market? I've also thought about an app that would just hide the messages app, password protected of course. I haven't seen anything like this yet though. I have already searched the forums but haven't came up with anything really. I'm not a noob to Android by any means and I'm pretty tech savvy, So I'm open to options. Any help would be appreciated.
I am currently running Ava-FroyoV5 on my Evo. Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks in advance.
If you have NAND unlocked, and I'm pretty sure you do, you should be able to find the messages app in /system/app (I think it should be there) and remove it. There is one problem with that and that is I'm not sure if it could cause system instability. There are some apps you should never remove. I think messages is safe, but not entirely sure.
Also, there are apps that let you password protect apps. I'll try to find one and post back, but they do exist on the market. This is what I recommend.
EDIT: I found two highly rated apps: App Protector and AndLock. AndLock has some neat features, but is paid. App Protector has a Lite and Pro version, so you can try it before you dedicate to buy it. Both seem to be really good, but I haven't tested them. Hope this helps.
with handcent, there is an option under security
Security->security level->protect stock messaging also
and in handcent just make sure you set up a pass or a pattern lock and it should protect both.
Thanks to both of you. I ended up going with app protector. This was exactly what I was looking for and I will end up paying for this app. Thank you again guys.
Just wanted to chime in real quick in case anyone else thinks off removing the stock messaging app. I tried it out, and it broke messaging all together. I would get notifications of messages, butt they wouldn't appear in the threads. Had to reinstall messaging in order for it to work again.
That is all, you may return to your regular programming.

didnt read..so here's this:
Root:
adb devices
adb remount
adb shell
rm system/app/amazonmp3.apk <<-in your case would be replaced with Mms.apk
Then check to make sure:
cd system
cd app
ls
But why remove? just edit Mms.apk till you get it the way you like..I actually like it
ps 11minute time frame difference was due to 4chan..weird stuff out there
anyway..
here's proof
removing the mms.app will most likely kill your messaging all together. Just a warning....
that's what she said

Good way to organize apps on MIUI?

I'm looking for an app that I can use to easily organize my apps on miui since it has no app drawer. I had something in mind like an app that anytime you downloaded an app it would ask you what folder you wanted the app to be placed in. Anything out there that automatically does this or something similar?
create folders and store them in there

Best bet is going to be just moving it to the designated folder be it games, utilities, social media/network etc etc. If their isnt a program that does what you want then most likely you will have to make it yourself or find someone who can make it and ask them, or simply just leave it as is and be happy.
Thats my 2 cents sorry if i didnt help you much.
I use LauncherPro. Seems to work nicely.
I believe Folder Organizer might be what you're looking for, OP. I use it in combination with LauncherPro.

DVP Connection Settings App

Dell have put this app in the marketplace. you need to use the phone's marketplace to be able to see it. Zune marketplace does not come up with the app for some reason
I have managed to save the app to my PC and i've attached it to this post. This app is supposed to allow you to change the MMS settings of the phone, however it does not work for me.
maybe someone can check out the DLLs in the XAP file and see if its of any use in obtaining R/W reigstry access
I searched for "Dell" in the marketplace and it came up. Only strange thing is the contact e-mail is "[email protected]". Not sure what is up with that
god this is what I asked for weeks ago but some moron from dell goes
for connection please refer to the manual
idiots
anything worth it in the program? anything we can pull for provxml?
edit

Duplicate file app?

Hey what's up guys. I've searched the Market and messed around with different apps and file explorers with no luck. I want to clean up my duplicate files on this phone.
I've tried the Pro version of SDMaid. Something with that app and the ICS ROMS I've been on aren't playing well together. SDMaid is not recognizing the Pro version. I've tried a couple other duplicate file apps and the pain in the a#s part of it is is these apps will only let me delete one duplicate file at a time. I have something around 1500 duplicate files.
So basically I'm looking for an app or procedure so that I can delete duplicate files.
1500 is a little ridiculous.
TIA guys.
Plug it into PC so u can use a mouse lol sorry

If you send me a mail, i'm sure i can fix your sd maid issue, if not i can grant you a refund.
The problem is there is no smart automatic procedure for selecting which duplicate file to keep.
You can try by modified date, path length or random, but it will never be a 100% correct.
Imagine the case of a two mp3 files, both duplicates (maybe with a different name, but same content).
One in a directory called "Single X - Artist Y" and one in a directory called "Best of Artist Y".
How can a computer know, which one to keep, or if none should be deleted, although they are duplicates.
Yeah well, we could use one of the methods and just be okay, as one copy will always be left.
But this will almost certainly lead to lots of users going "OMG can't find my files", when the remaining copy is not where they exspect it to be.

Pm sent. Not concerned about a refund. From the great info you provided it really doesn't sound like the issue is app related.
Thanks for the useful info and look forward to hearing back from ya.

How to auto move folders with tasker.

Hi I need a little help if possible, I'm trying to find an app that will let me automove files and folders, I've found an app called "auto-move" that will move my files for me automatically but it doesn't move folders at all. So I need an app that can move folders to another location by the file(folder)name. I found the app called "tasker" and it seems like it might be able to do what I want but not sure as it's a bit of a headache for me to use, so is anyone experienced enough with "tasker" to help me?
Please keep in mind I have looked through a lot of guides but they all involve moving files and not folders.
I basically want to monitor a folder, and if that folder has other folders In it, it will move them to a certain location depending on folder name.
you can use other apps for this purpose, sync type apps like Synchronize Ultimate can sync folders and files to local and cloud network, create sync profiles but also has option to "delete from source after sync" and has plugin for tasker. So you may want to check those kind of apps.
I also found tasker difficult to handle and gave Automate a try, no complaints.

Thank you for the quick reply, yeah I figured it out now, I scrapped using tasker. I'm using auto-move to move the files to destination folder and using redirect pro to move files out of folders to the parent directory so auto-move can do its thing. I'm gonna check your suggestion as I'd prefer one app to do the job and by the sounds of it your will do the job
