hi newbie in here...
i've just updated my old lumia1020 to the latest w10m version 10.0.15254.369
i was hoping that in this version that the static ip option was enabled by default...
i was wrong...
need static ip option badly since my home and office wifi need to manually configure the ip/dns setting before i can use the network...
is there any way to configure static ip without interop unlock
or is it safe to use wp internal to unlock root with my current w10m build on nokia lumia 1020?? i update them using iutool method

Need Help With My Lumia 950 !!

Hi
First of all sorry for my bad english, im from germany ^^
I bought a microsoft lumia 950 and i like it very much, but actually im use an Galaxy s6 with my normal android apps.
And i really need these apps on my lumia too. I've read a lot about project astoria, the wconnect.exe tool and xap apps, but astoria is dead and the wconnect.exe tool doesn't work for me (allways getting error-8).
And now my question, is there another possibility to install/sideload android apps or any other apps ?
Device: Microsoft Lumia 950
Software: Win Mobil 10
Version: 1511
Build: 10.0.10586.11
Firmware : 01078.00027.15506.02027
i search for apps like : Youtube , Playstation network, Playstation messages, real instagram etc.
i would be very grateful for your help !

It is called sideloading apps. So yes - you can sideload apps - just like you can sideload apk files on android.

Can I obtain Microsoft OEM .XAP .APPX files? where to start?

I need to obtain the APPX files (APPX and XAP would be better) for apps pre-installed on windows phone 10 , (8.1 & 10 would be better).
The usual stuff calculator, camera etc etc
I have access to numerous models, Is it possible to copy them from the device or obtain them from elsewhere?
I have scoured MS website's with no luck.
Any pointers would be gratefully received !

If you can access your file system fully, they should be in C:\Programs\Common Files

So I would use InterOp to fully access the OS ?
I haven't used it before but did see a link to it on this site.

Yeah that's necessary

example:
WinAppDeployCmd install -file "Downloads\SampleApp.appx" -ip 192.168.0.1 [-dependency c:\temp\dep\x86\*.appx]
WinAppDeployCmd.exe install -file "C:\Users\XXXXX\Desktop\AW\HK\vcREG\vcREG_1_6_W10M.xap" -ip 127.0.0.1
Is this syntax correct please?
I am trying to install the .xap using windeployapp, the phone is in developer mode and is set to discoverable
I keep getting what I this are syntax errors as it keeps displaying the help screen
I have tried this using IP and GUID I also tried the switch -GUID and -g for GUID also install path with and without quotes.

WinAppDeployCmd.exe only for Win10 apps.
AppDeploy.exe (SDK 8.1) for Xap 8.1, appx 8.1, appxbundle 8.1.
XapDeploy.exe (SDK 8.0) for xap 7.x 8.0.

Sorted thanks for the pointers

Solved: OneNote for Windows 10 Can't Launch

Good day!
Can someone help me to use One Note in my phone? I really need this app.
When I open it, it's just redirecting to the Store and Store will say "This Product is installed." then it will exit.
I updated the OS from .107 to .1066 . Do I need to update again the firmware?
Is there a trick like deleting cache folder of the app or any update patch like .xap or appx bundle?
Can someone verify that One Note app is still working as of now?
Thank you...

woshub.com
so for Lumia 530 which is ARM,
I downloaded the latest version of appx of the main app folder and VCLibs.

And now my problem is solved.
