You'll need to get the android SDK for OSX. It will include the adb tool, just like the SDK for Windows and Linux.

where can i get that at?

mac android sdk wow its amazing what a simple google search can get you

okay i downloaded it but how the heck do you install it? i found a few sites that explain but why go through all of that trouble just to get the usb to work?

seems pretty complicated to get the usb to work on osx and windows. i have windows 7 installed in a virtual machine and i still can't get the os to recognize my android vogue phone. it wont let me install the driver?

you know what dude, why don't you bite your damn lip. i did google it and i said it's too much just to get mac to recognize the sd card. i asked if there was s simpler way other than installing a ton of apps. man i guess what i heard about some of the members of xda are right!

Alright, enough of the bickering. I just installed everything on my Mac and it was tedious but once you get it you'll be glad you did.
1) Download the SDK for Mac (I believe you have already done this) and extract it anywhere. I just put mine in /Users/<my_user_name>/Downloads/
2) If you are lacking a .bash_profile file (like I was), open Terminal and type
Code:
touch .bash_profile
this will create the .bash_profile file for you. Then,
Code:
open -e .bash_profile
this will open the file you just created in TextEdit to allow you to edit and add your PATH so you don't have to type in where you extracted the files to every time.
3) Add this line to your .bash_profile file
Code:
export PATH=${PATH}:*<your_sdk_dir>*/tools
Where <your_sdk_dir> is the full path to the android sdk folder (type carefully, remove < > brackets). For example, mine was /Users/<my_user_name>/Downloads/android-sdk-mac_x86-1.5_r3/
4) Save the file and quit TextEdit. Also, quit Terminal and open another window. It should give you no errors when you open Terminal.
Now you should be able to type
Code:
adb devices
into Terminal and see your phone listed as device.
To see more about ADB, look on the Adroid developer site: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html

Uncheck "Use inferred grammar in absence of DTD/Schema"

Can't install Win8

Hi,
One year ago, I successfully installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Since its asked me for license, I've bought Win8 Pro but the problem is that it won't let me keep my files in the installation. The only option Win8 install shows is the clean install as "nothing".
How to install Win8 Pro with keeping my desktop, files... ?
Thx in advance !

Are you are trying to upgrade from a beta copy of Windows 8 to the final retail version? I don't think that will be an option. You'll need to back up your files to a USB drive or something and do a fresh install.

Yes indeed. Why wont that be possible ?

The consumer preview is an unfinished version of Windows, it's possible issues with that could carry over with an upgrade to the retail version and cause head aches for Microsoft or anyone else that has to troubleshoot any problems that might occur.

I would expect that "keep my files (but not my programs)" would be a valid option, though... very odd if it is not. That's basically still a clean install, it just moves everything from the old OS (except your personal libraries) to a "Windows.old" folder.

From what I've read, you will have to do a clean install. Microsoft wants to make sure none of the preview stuff is mixed in with the official release files.

Hi everyone,
For a long time I was read much topic about patching xap file (from paid app or trial app patch to free dev app) but these very much step, difficult for newbie. I decided to develop a tool to help you do that with only one step.
You must install or move app you want to patch to sd card first.
Deploy and open WPSystem app (attach in the bottom of topic), select SD card, press "done" button, press on the app name that you want to extract xap file. wait for completed!
The xap file patched and saved on Sd card, you can copy this xap file to pc for deploying, this app became free app. Yep, it's real.
Don't hasitate to comment your question! Goodluck

How about apps that aren't compatible with my device..Like I have a Nokia, but I want the HTC Notes app.

He asked about exclusiv apps from other manufacturers,e.g. HTC. Is your app able to patch those apps for Nokia/MS devices? (answer: no)
BTW nice app! You should mention on post #1 that the app has to be installed on phone storage not on the SD card.

thank you for your remind, this tool was created to install only on device (prevent install on sd card)
about the exclusive apps, he must interop unlock his device, and this tool is not for that

thank you for the app. Most apps work, but there are a few that do not show up in your app even though they are installed on or moved to SDCard. Others show, but not with the actual name, rather "@AppResLib.dll,-XYZ". Is that normal?
cheers

Yes, for example in WMAppManifest.xml for app Account manager
Code:
<App xmlns="" Title="[B]@AppResLib.dll,-100[/B]" RuntimeType="Silverlight" Version="1.0.0.0" Description="Account manager"

if the app not show on list, it isn't the "xap app format", rather called "appx format" (new format for Wp8.1 and W10) and this tool is not patch for this format.
about the name you see, yes, that is normal, you can rename the xap file

This small problem can be solved:
Code:
if (File.Exists("D:\\WPSystem\\Apps\\" + fo.Name + "\\Install\\WMAppManifest.xml"))
string fn = XDocument.Load((Stream)File.OpenRead("D:\\WPSystem\\Apps\\" + foldername + "\\Install\\WMAppManifest.xml")).Root.Element(XName.Get("App")).Attribute("Title").Value;
Read the real filename from the WMAppManifest.xml, located in the app installation folder.
Code is taken from my IO Explorer app for SAMSUNG devices.

Why you don't add simple 2 words code for bocking SD Card to such tool.
Look out at VS2013. That code also works on 8.0 Silverlight.

did you mean prevent install app on SD card? yep, if you are developer I think you should to do this for securing your code

I wonder if this works on tetra lockscreen 1.2.0.0. If it does would give a way to get a patched xap of the app that everyone could use. If anyone still have this app and has and phone they can test would be really helpful. IF anyone know anyone pass the word to them.

no luck with the windows application deployment tool, error 0x81030120
I believe this error is related to having interop capabilities in one of the libraries included in your XAP.
is there another deployer tha would work? (i already tested WPV xap deployer, also, no luck with that)

i'm not correct, maybe it's impossible to move e&i into sd, sorry

nah, tested both tools and nothing

I tried full FS access by patching an old version of CustomPFD to see if i could replace extras&info directly from phone memory.
I think some directories are hidden so i could not find the directory where the apps use to be installed.
However, i found a directory with the OEM apps (touch, extra&info, etc), but it seems that it's there only to be applied after a hard reset or something like that, so just replacing files wasn't enough. Extras&Info wasn't the only app with Interop Caps, but almost any app that is under settings has that cap.
So i unistalled touch settings and downloaded it from SD then i used MetroCommander to replace the SD files the old way (before CustomWPSystem was created, lol). Got nothing but an endless "Loading..." screen, but i guess i did something wrong.
But technically (someone correct me if i'm wrong) we can do Interop+Caps unlock using some other app from settings, right?
I'm pretty sure i've seen a settings app with a lot of capabilities in the manifest, not just InteropCapabilities, i don't remember exactly but it had something to do with SMS

Well , i think that we just have to remain with vanilla wp 8.1 until they fix wp10 annoying bugs, everytime i think i found a work around for a bug, there appear more bugs, my fault though, i chose the fast ring...

Now that Groove supports gapless playback, i'm considering going back to W10M (downgraded last week to WP8.1). But it's a hard choice, it sure has nice features but some bugs are just too annoying.
Did they fix the screenshots not appearing in Messenger/WA bug in 10549?

any updates on this? i have WP8.1 Update 2 and i'm having the same issues, not being able to install extras&info to SD card. i read somewhere on reddit (i think) that someone found a method that works currently, but searching around, i can't seem to find out the procedure..
