I managed to make an app launcher which looks like the Android/iOS home screen. I'm releasing the source code for everyone to come and create their own app launchers. The possibilities are endless!
Download the latest release here: https://github.com/colinkiama/UWP-App-Launcher/releases/tag/v1.2.0.0-beta
WARNING: You may need to increase the page file size in order to run this app on older devices. It's a good idea to keep the page file static too.
Also, if you want to help, please contribute by submitting/completing issues. Everyone will appreciate it. Even if it's just a feature request. You can contribute here: https://github.com/colinkiama/UWP-App-Launcher/issues
NOTE: Many of the methods used with the PackageManager class require you to add the following restricted capabilites in your package.appxmanifest file:
packageManagement
packageQuery
I'll still be improving the code on GitHub so it's more optimised in the future but I'll let you guys do whatever you want with this. Can't wait to see what you will come up with. Enjoy!

Did you install the app with it's dependencies?
If not then try installing the app using Windows Device Portal with the ARM dependencies.

Okay, the app seems to be a bit unstable on Mobile. If you are uninstalling an app, and you relaunch the app launcher, it will crash until the app is completely uninstalled. On desktop it will run anyway.
So try installing the app again with its ARM dependenices using the Windows Device Portal if you haven't already.
If you can't use the portal then you can install the dependencies manually on your phone but you will have no idea when they have finished installing.
How to install ??????

There are so many ways of installing this. The easiest way would be to extract the .appxbundle file from the zip and selecting this on the file explorer of your device.
In case that doesn't work, you can try installing the app using the device portal by uploading the .appxbundle file and it's dependencies. More information about the device portal is here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/debug-test-perf/device-portal-mobile
UPDATE: You can now use my app "Package Installer" to this app instead. Thread Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/wi...mes/appx-appxbundle-installer-phones-t3669665

I have to admit that the app takes way too long to load (9 seconds on the 950XL!) There is actually a time limit for how long a UWP app should take to start up and I think I'm breaking that limit low end/mid-level devices. This what I think because it works fine on my computer and phone.

I don't know (I didn't write the apps). I could try to rewrite the way that I load all the apps so asynchronously but honestly, I don't have any motivation to even try right now. I'm working on a project that is going to be in the Windows Store.
If anyone here knows c#, the source code is here: https://github.com/colinkiama/UWP-App-Launcher. Feel free to try and fix it yourselves if you really want this to work on your device.

Hey guys I yoinked this demo of NFS Shift from my friends Droid X.
The game installed and runs great on my vibrant, you CAN'T buy the full version, it will just sit and try to connect for a few minutes then fail and tell you you have to be connected to the VW network. From what I hear it will be a Droid X exclusive for a few months, then come to the Market
Enjoy

You probably shouldn't run untrusted programs with full internet access with an available data connection active anyway or use something like droidwall to prevent it from calling home. The same could apply for offline-centric applications requesting full internet permissions.
This demo doesn't appear in the system dump somebody posted, I guess it was either removed from that dump to save download size, is present in a different firmware or is side-loaded courtesy of Verizon afterwards like the 'Samsung Apps' does.
It doesn't look anybody has tampererd with it if that's what you're asking. The modified file date on the files in the APK indicate it was compiled on 16/06/2010.

Won't get you too far if you're just going to be paranoid about every app. What's next? people are going to start questioning ROM from a new developer and say oh.. this ROM is probably malicious and steals ur google login.
Get a Anti-Virus app, I use Lookout.. not even sure if it works but I mainly use it for Phone Locator.

Please forgive my ignorance but i downloaded the file, which is an apk.zip file, and cannot figure out how to install this file. I tried putting it on the root of my SD card and installing that way with APK installer, but it could not find the file. Tried using Winzip to unzip but then i dont know which file i need to install. Do you have to have root to install this via the recovery? Please let me know.

Extract.
the file should be ending with .APK nothing more.
put it anywhere on ur SD Card,use a file manager such as Files (preinstalled on Vibrant), ASTRO, Root Manager or whatever.. direct it to where the APK is then install it. it'll probably ask about Unknown Sources, just check that too.
Just got it to work. Here is what i did in case anybody else is having trouble. When i downloaded the file it ended with multiple file extensions, .apk.zip. Did not think of it at first but went in and renamed, removing the .zip and leaving only the .apk at the end, and installed via apk installer. Works like a charm

It is not and does not contain a virus . Scan it with your Anti-Virus program or Malware bytes .. It is not a virus and the fact that you posted it in this thread will give it a bad name . Once installed through recovery reboot then look in your app drawer and you will see it . Run through the setup and then after trhat check your language and input settings.
Virus Total and Malware Bytes I just scanned with and it has no malicious content in it . Maybe the fact it requires root is why its saying that .Please try it again and after you flash it check your app drawer and open the app and grant it SU privilges

I can't solve your problem but every thing works fine on my end. Just install it. The last thing I would ever do is put malicious files on here. This has to be about the easiest app to install that requires root. Just check your app drawer after you install. I can't help you beyond this being that its easier to scan an object for a virus than it is to install this keyboard It's pretty clear in the instructions on how to install.
Thanks I did install it working fine thanks again for sharing.

This is an UWP version of Gameboy Advance emulator called VBA10 notorious for the fact that Microsoft pulled up this emulator from the store
First of all, I have no relation to this application; app's author decided to publish source code of the app so anyone can download and build this app.
I just created appxbundle for all platforms, and signed appx by my own code signing certificate (in that case you don't need import app's signature so you can skip this step).
So, don't ask me to add new features or fix the bugs
Installation as usual:
- download, unpack and install dependencies (if needed) for your platform
- download, unpack and install appxbundle (I not tried to install appxbundle but installed appx to test on my L-950).

Just registered to thank you, first time I need something like this, and I'm really gratefull to find it! I was afraid to reset my phone cause of that Msft's move.
Thx fore the app buy it but micro remove it
A big thanks to you
Thanks, you really helped me because I was searching for this app since Microsoft removed it. They are taking stupid decisions. Their store is poor, so why they are doing that ? I don't understand. So thanks, really ! (I'm french, my English isn't good). I'm searching for snes8x, the SNES emulator of this editor. Can u help me ? I'm also searching for the official website of this editor but I can't find it. The editor of Nesbox, another emulator, gives the appx of his app directly on his website so I'm using this one now but I prefer snes8x.

He wanted to install games like Angry Birds for kids. But thanks to 4gb rom, I think around 256mb ram it is a mess. Lags way too much. When we tried to install apks downloaded from Google, we got this error There is a problem parsing this package. USB Debugging is on, installation from unknown sources is on. Any way out of this? Can someone help with a working custom rom link? Micromax used to sell this tablet branded under their name. So, there were indeed roms back then.
Thanks

Hi,
My friend has a very old cheap Chinese tablet. PFA
He wanted to install games like Angry Birds for kids. But thanks to 4gb rom, I think around 256mb ram it is a mess. Lags way too much.

There are many reasons why this message appears on your screen when you try to download an application.
The file might have downloaded incompletely
The application may not be compatible with the hardware or your operating system
This is because of a security setting
The APK may be a corrupted file

Thanks for replying. The same apk is installing in other phones. I have tried many years old apps but same result. The rom is the culprit. Any help with the rom?

An APK gets installed by Android's PM ( read: Package Manager ) what is part of ROM. OK.
Personally don't think in actual case the ROM is the culprit: Try installing the APK in question by means of AURORA Store to see whether it's Google Play that works wrong or not.
Hint: Instead of shooting in the dark, get the reason ( for example INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES ) for the mentioned error by installing the APK in question via ADB.
Code:
adb install -r APK_FILE
Note this command utilizes internally PM.
Also a look inside Android's logcat may help. But this requires device is rooted.
You can try reflashing stock rom.. head over to XDA thread..

This is the problem. It is not letting us install any app. We have tried many apps made in 2012 itself. The tablet lags just way too much so it will be a mess to try to install via an ADB. Can't we just flash some other rom to make it atleast usable?

Editing apk is not possible as the device is just way too slow.
No live link for custom rom available.

Edit on PC
That's sad, use different search engines and try to find rom links. Use other forums, file hosting sites etc
Greetings my fellow geeks
I would like to share my small part-time project I've been working on on the last few weeks.
I would've liked to post it in the Windows 11 dedicated thread, but well... there isn't any at the time of writing this
That said, this project is still in a very early stage of development, as of yet barebones (but I have many plans to expand it), and I even was too lazy to remove the default Flutter logo and icon... so consider it a pre-alpha; but hey, it works!
This may not sound like a "few weeks in development" project, but I had to implement a way to read an Android apk icon from scratch and that's what I spent most of my time with.
At the moment the application allows you to install any .apk package on WSA (by associating .apk files to the executable), as well as providing a convenient shortcut to the Android settings and the "Manage Applications" section (otherwise only accessible via console commands). It also has a few options (android port and light/dark theme).
More features are on the way, and I plan to show way more information on the installer (eg. app permissions, option to downgrade a package etc...)
The app is open source and available to download here

It most likely means WSA is shut off, try opening an Android app (eg. Amazon Appstore) to boot it up, or set it to never shut down automatically in WSA options (not recommended)
You must also make sure to enable Android developer mode (also in WSA settings)
EDIT: now that I'm reading your comment again, you said you have Windows 10, did you manage to install WSA there?

It requires WSA, so I guess it's not strictly Win11 as long as you manage to install WSA on Windows 10 (I have no idea whether you can and how)
This app just provides a GUI for apk installation, but depends on the Android subsystem

thank you.i think its need win11.
Thank you very much for translating the app into Hebrew.
For some reason all the time it disconnects from me and gives the wrong port impression.
How could it not register it for me.
And is it possible to give support in APKS
Thank you.
