still hoping to get a clear answer on this.. will there be a full working version online as well? Unless you can do that it's not going to take off. For people without rom's there should be a full website version where you can view all the same apps, reviews, ratings, and download the .xap

Hi,
We are working on a solution that will not require a custom ROM and even won't require interop Unlock - we will settle for only Developer Unlock.

Although, The ones who will have custom ROM and Interop unlock with have more fun :)

Ofir.

Good to hear. And it's not like we don't want to Interop Unlock. Just stuck on 2nd gen hardware with no solution as of yet:D

Just a warning your site is stuck in an endless html reload with this code

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.WP-Bazaar.com/dotnetnuke/">
Hi Andrew,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

We are currently moving to a better server and because we experienced some limitations with the current one.

This issue will be fixed when we'll release the first non-beta version of Bazaar.

save xap in bazzar, then open IE to point to the following URL:
replace {0} with downloadedXapName in url http://127.0.0.1/IsolatedStorage/{0}",

not working on BTTF rom . anyone knows where the xap file is cached?



Great getting this custom marketplace fully working!
Good job!

Noticed some nice code:
- Save xap
- IE load xap (on 127.0.0.1, webserver goes here :p)
- Delete xap
Code:
this.cacheManagerInstance = CacheManager.GetInstance();
this.cacheManagerInstance.WriteToCache(downloadedXapName, buffer);
this.wb = new Microsoft.Phone.Controls.WebBrowser();
this.wb.Navigate(new Uri(string.Format("http://127.0.0.1/IsolatedStorage/{0}", downloadedXapName), UriKind.Absolute));
this.cacheManagerInstance.RemoveFromCacheAsync(downloadedXapName);
.

you know, if you wanted to make this a huge success, and i do mean global, you need to make this cross platform compatible

The future idea being, a developer could potentially upload versions of their app, lets say that they made WP, iOS and android versions, that would all get uploaded to the server, user downloads / buys an app, that app could cost slightly more than normal, but the user would have access to all OS versions that that developer made available.

The crunch is you couldnt use apps from the various markets, free or otherwise, MS apple and google would be pissed, more so for google! but it would become an ideal distribution platform for a developer to get out to all devices they wanted to support all on the same market......

Incorrect. If you want to use this app, you need to use a custom ROM. The next step is to make sure your bootloader (SPL) is version 3.1 or less (which almost certainly requires downgrading it). The step after that is selecting a custom ROM that supports installing XAPs directly (using IE, for example) and flashing it to the phone.
