App Policy FIle Collection/how to launch apps based on GUID

[compu829]

ssoo in Windows Phone 8, the APP GUIDS are stored in xml files that map to the real files (executables) located on the device. These files are located in "Windows\System32\Manifests" USing this info + the native Toast launcher, I can now run executables listed here. This includes executables such as "deviceUpdatePostUpdate" and various worker threads. Pretty much if it's preinstalled by Microsoft, it is here. I have been opening lots of random things on my 8x so far

For convenience, I have attached a zip of this directory. It is from the Lumia 925 Retail ATT Rom.

This is how the mapping works:

1. Open the xml file you want to work with. look for "ProductID" This is the app GUID.
2. Look for the "DefaultTask Name" property. This is what is called on launch.

Enjoy!

IF any of you have tethering blocked, see if you can get to it directly by going to app://5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5629/Default

Aww, you beat me . I was just about to post the GUIDs for all settings apps, file extensions, OEM specific apps, carrier apps, system preinstalled apps, etc. I also had a WP update package. No clue what it is.

Can't run most of them with just GUID/Default

sorry, but it is quite obvious. Next thread would be "App POLICY files!!", am I right?
no offense, just stating

@ultrashot, Agreed!~

It was late and I was wicked excited lol. This is a collection of app policy files that basically explain the App GUID to EXE translation for alot of stuff. Ultimately, I would like to get a list going in this thread of app://guid/commandstorun -- Description for all of this..I think it would be useful since some of these take in arguments and can be told to load other files, etc.
