[Q] WhatsApp XAP for manual install - Nokia Lumia 920

Hey Guys,
i installed whatsapp on my lumia 920, when it was available in store. Now i bought my girlfriend a lumia 820 and the only thing she uses all the day is whatsapp, but now it's not available at store anymore. I have v2.8.2 installed on my lumia and tried to install the xap downloaded from the store on her 820, but the phone shows the app as "not compatible".
Is there anyone out there who have whatsapp on a 820 and is able to post the xap-file?
Big thanks!

You have to Jailbreak the phone, from that moment you can deploy xap files to your phone. I don't thonk there is another way yet, because you have to gain root acces to manual install.

That's not the full truth. Since few days you're able to download the "free" xap-Files from the windows-phone-store and place them on your sd-card to install them. With this you're able to install some apps "offline". I installed WhatsApp on my Lumia 920 from store and it works. So there must be a 'valid' xap-file for windows phone 8 that is "installable".
The "how to download and install xap-files offline" can you find here.

Would you mind elaborating this procedure a bit further? My N920 is developer unlocked and I've copied a XAP file to my phone. I placed it in Documents, because I haven't seen any suitable folder.
The phone itself has apparently no SD-Card, hence the store is not showing any "install from SD-Card option"
The app I' d like to install is "keep-alive" which isn't available anymore.
Kind regards,
azel

How does it work with Lumia 920 since it doesn't have a place for an external SD-card? I have downloaded Whatsapp on my computer and placed it on my L920's internal SD-card. When I open the store, my SD-card isn't listed as an option. What am I doing wrong? My phone isn't developer unlocked and I won't pay $99 just to get Whatsapp installed

if your phone is developer unlocked you can just use the xap tool provided by Microsoft with the SDK to deploy xap-files on your phone...

can you upload the xap to any server or contact me via pm?

Who needs a title anyway?
I have a developer unlocked HTC 8X, and I would really appreciate having the XAP file as well

Same problem in here. The funny thing is on my HTC 8x which i get in November Whatsapp is still installed because it wasn't blocked in the store at this point...
Now i have a Lumia 920 and can't install it anymore. If you download the xap from the microsoft store and deploy it with the WP8 SDK the error "XAP file is invalid." appears, so this won't work eighter.
Would be nice if anyone would provide a workaround.

What a bummer, I found a bunch of XAPs from various Chinese websites. They don't work either. ****kkkk.

I'll PM you. I'm not able to post links. Too bad it doesn't seem to work. Hope the app comes available in the store soon.

i have a 2.8.0.0 and a 2.8.2 and deployed both,both run but everytime i try to verify my number it says that i need to update my whatsapp to the newest...
we need a 2.8.8.
i have the 2.8.8 but it says invalid xap,the xap could be broken...i search for another one

Does anybody know a way to install .xap's on L920 without developer unlock? Too bad if it only works when using an external SD-card.

Give this xap file a try. Your phone will need to be developer unlocked and pushed to the phone with the Windows Phone SDK application deployment tool. It is version 2.8.2 but works fine on my HTC 8X after removing DRM info and repacking it.

That's what I'd like to know too... It can be done if your phone is developer unlocked but it costs $99 which is way too much. It's weird if .xap's can be installed on WP8 devices with external SD-slot but can't be installed on those that don't have a slot. Please share if you know something! I really need the app.

I did send the WP8 XAP of Whatsapp (http://www.windowsphone.com/de-de/store/app/whatsapp/218a0ebb-1585-4c7e-a9ec-054cf4569a79) to myself per email (I'm on a Lumia 920) but couldn't get it installed due to some error. But then, I already have Whatsapp installed when it was still possible to do so.

Bought a Mini Pro (and this is my rant/question)

So, went out and picked up a Mini Pro for the misses.
Well, off the bat I went crazy cause I couldn't find "Market" and well...after searching online, guess this damn region doesn't support the Market. How wonderful is that, so downloaded stuff online through slideme. Which really still sucks.
Then when I downloaded things to my laptop and wanted to bluetooth them over, I couldn't. Then when I wanted to send ringtones from my phone to the mini pro, I couldn't. So I searched, and wouldn't you know it. I gotta download a program, so I downloaded bluetooth explorer and then it prompted me that I gotta root this SOB to be able to send files through bluetooth? Did I just buy an iPhone or what?!
So I plugged in the phone through USB. And we copied over the APK. and I downloaded a file explorer, so I could get to the damn APK (really no file explorer included, or clearly apparent?). And when we launched the file (MSN), we found we couldn't send files, images, or anything other than text. Are you kidding me?
With all these limitations, how is Android so popular?
Are there any possible solutions without having to root this bastard? (aside from MSN). I just bought this thing and don't wanna void warranty so damn early so I could make it something PRACTICAL like every other phone.
I'm guessing you're used to nokia's and the like. I must say i've found bluetooth file transfer a little hit and miss on android, but you need an app called bluetooth file transfer but it's on the market i'm afraid. Where are you then? You can get the market app from these forums and an enabler for regions not supported so you may need to do some digging.

Not used to Nokia's. Used to WinMo and running Android Froyo on my Topaz.
Could not find the market standalone app for the life of me. And the phone is from Saudi Arabia, and I can't justify rooting it just yet.
@bmzloum
Hi! I feel your pain. Android Marketplace is not supported in my part of the world too. I am looking for alternate ways to get apps into my phone.
You mentioned that you had to download a separate File Manager to get to the .apk files. Can you tell me which app you are using?
Also how did you manage to install the File Manager in the first place if you could not get to the .apk files?
Do you copy the .apk files to your MicroSD card? Do you any other advice to make installation easier if we download the Apps to our computer then then try to install them to our phone?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers and good luck with your new phone.
Appbrain App Market and Apktor are viable alternatives for getting apps on your phone, the latter you'll need to find public repositories for. Sorry can't post links cause of restrictions on a new account, but google knows all.

Hey, found
Code:
http://slideme.org/
which let me download with the barcode, and then I installed the sites app manager directly on there. There are a ton of file managers, I downloaded two, I forget which. But the two most popular ones. Both worked, but only one handled ZIP files. I don't have the phone beside me, so can't recall...
I found the Market standalone apk, but it crashed everytime I clicked on "Download" so I gave up on it.
I'm gonna try those suggestions posted up and see if they have a few new nice apps on there.
I had the exact same issue as others above. My solution was to use the debranded UK Firmware, root the phone and then use the Bluetooth File Manager.
bmazloum: My phone also came from the UAE side and didn't have the Market. I used Omnius to flash the firmware. A friend of mine on the otherhand paid the local Sony Service Centre to flash and debrand the ROM. Maybe this might help
Guys you don't have to move the apk file over to the phone in order to install it btw... get Adb from the Android SDK and then place the apk file in the same folder as adb.
And then from command prompt, navigate to the folder with adb and your apk and type "adb install example.apk".
Make sure you have USB Debugging (Applications -> Development) enabled and that's it.
Works nicely on a Mini. Not sure about the Pro to be honest.

XAP Files on my Lumia

Hey guys,
I know there's another XAP Thread here going around, but I have a different question.
So, btt, since 2 weeks I have my sexy N920 and I'm pretty satisfied with it.
Yesterday I've registered a WP8 Dev Account and tried to push .xap files on my device (with the official tool and the device is already registered), but it keep saying 'Unable to deploy .xap file'.
Somebody have a reason for that?
Thanks & BR.

It should given you some error code so we could look into what might be the reason the phone rejects your XAP files.
What XAPs are you trying to deploy?

How to extract xap files from my phone to the pc

Thanks a lot Walter, thats what i needed. The only stupid thing is , the vibration is permanent.
it doesnt interrupts between buzzz.
use program manager to create xap of the installed app..
just open prog manager tap on the app name you want to pack it in xap.
then click on pack( at the bottom third option)
the only thing is that u've to wait for some time after clicking on pack.
i've packed gun bros game approx. about 186 mb,prog manger took 4 min. to pack it to xap...
the only con is that when u install that xap created by prog manager,,market place shows update for that app...it is not necessary to update...but its the only thing that is to be said as cons for program manager
and one more thing all the created xaps are located at Applications/data/12345678-87BF-4D87-A529-0DFF41EFD592/isolatedstore/data/xap/..
copy these xap to safe place...happy xapping...

As i said at the begining, my phone is unlocked, but i havent access , at least vis storage enabler. I cant make WDMC work properly at all and i dont know the other way .
I couldn't make my WMDC work too but I was installing it about 20 times and finally I got it ^^ Everytime there was a message: unrecognized device - device unplugged but I don't know how I got it.
If you still can't do this, you have your xap files as debugger told you before where so now you can do everything with it.
For example you can download from Bazaar Move to cloud and then with it you just sent your files to SkyDrive and on pc just download them
Doesnt work at all. Severel times i reinstall.....
I am desperred already, will reinstall all windows, but here the question is What to install first - Zune , Nokia care suite, then WDMC?
What would be better to order of installation ?
after installing zune and wmdc, u need to install qualcomm drivers....go to nand access thread and download appropriate drivers for x86 or x64...
I think there is another way to get your xaps on pc. I downloaded WebServer from Bazaar and you just run it and on PC you type IP as a webpage adress and you can manage your phone from PC so I think you can download files too. I only copied an aplication to my phone but think this will work too.

Woow, i didnt knew about this awesome app. Now install it and open all my windows folders and files. The issue here is how to find exactly one file he he . But will search one by one.
I found the xap , but when i try to download for example the game fruit ninja which is 19 mb, id give me file 19 kb.
See the prtscr
I checked the screenshot and I see that you want to download file from temporary Internet Explorer files.
This is xap, so firstly - install it, next - make xap from installed app/game (with Program Manager) and then try to download this file.
Your file will be in Applications\Data\12345678-(...)\Data\IsolatedStore\Xap and you have to move it to Applications\Data\9BFACECD-(...)\Data\IsolatedStore

Nokia Network Setup on Samsung Focus

Hey Guys,
Been searching through the forums and haven't found a clear answer on this.
I currently have an unlocked Samsung Focus v1.3 , flashed with Dynamics 2.0 WP 7.8 rom from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016769
I've already tried the straighttalk.xml email solution with WP7 Root Tools and the provxml folder with no success. And on post #3 in the link above there is the nokia driver cabs and the nokia oem network setup app which I've loaded via the instructions provided.
I however cannot find where the app is located or if the load worked. Any and all help is appreciated.
Rom is working great but I'm trying to get the Nokia Network Setup app on it so that I can change APN settings for Straight Talk with a bit more ease.
Can't u not just save the XAP file and install it via wp7 root tools?

I have found a solution since my first post to get nokia network setup app working. Thanks for the reply. I cant remember where the thread was located on XDA but there is an OEM change app that I was able to load and change my OEM from Samsung to Nokia and get access to the Nokia portion of the marketplace and download the Network Setup App.
Thanks

Thanks all guys who find trick for 512 devices and I will add their names soon in thread .
What are the files uploaded ?
DHTUpgradeAdvisor_1.1.4.0_arm_Debug.rar : it contains the appx file and you must be able to deploy it with Developer Mode enabled via file manager .

One more thing, which are the "old Lumias" that benefit from this app? The reason I'm asking is because when this thread Redstonebuild 14267& higher for old lumias was started, Lumia 735 was one of the unsupported phones. Now, I got 10.0.14393.5 with Windows Insider in the Release Preview ring.

As I said this app makes it easier to get updated. You can use registry editors freely to modify keys by your own but in this way you will save your Phone targeting info to restore and change your phone identity easier .

Don't get me wrong, it's a great app and we thank you for it. I just wanted to make things clear. For my phone, Lumia 735, no registry edit was necessary yesterday to get to redstone. However, I'm sure your app will be very helpful in the future for other updates Microsoft might consider my phone is not fit.

I think Lumia 735 is a supported phone to get Redstone. That's why no registry editing is necessary to get RS. This app is for those Lumia's (Like Lumia 1020, 920, 925...) which are not supported to for Redstone update officially.
Seriously, if you don't know how the 512MB block works, don't even bother. I took a quick look at the source and it's clear that you've just built a tool which automates some registry editing without having any knowledge of how the actual update gets picked up or how updating a phone even works. There is a lot of redundant code in there.
Do I need to interop unlock my phone or anything similar for this to work ? Because I just followed the steps in OP and no updates come up.

Thanks to the authors not knowing how the NDTK RPC works and what sort of permission set it needs, you do need interop.

No you have to only enable Developer Mode on your phone . I test this on a non-Interop unlocked phone 640XL LTE Dual sim and it works .
