I've extracted the XAP for the Games Hub and edited the manifest so that it would run on Windows Phone 8. Screenshot below and XAP attached



To download the APPX and XAP files I found in the ROM, click here. It is a mediafire link.
I am working on Porting file manager to wp 8 xap file .
It's now only shows a loading... page nothing work .
maybe I need a Interop Unlocked Ativ S because of it's capabilities

AppPlat.Apps.FileManager.appx can be deployed to Win8.1 computer without any modify.
Actually it's not a File Manager app, it's just a file picker user interface.

well I am on Samsung Ativ S and all this app does is that it lists all my apps under the "other" section, while telling me I don't own any xbox enabled games... what is not true.

also, when I try to rate an app via this view, it brings up a message saying I have to install an app for that and sending me to the marketplace, showing me apps that support viewing apps on the Windows Store (e. g. Store Companion)

cheers, fadenfisch

What exactly did you edit in the manifest?, because I could run this app on my L925 but only after removing the OEM capability.
I would like to edit the same on the other apps and try running them.
When I try doing the same as on the file you attached on other files I only get an deployment error with something about invalid WMAppManifest file.

I used a simple gui tool written in Chinese to deploy it, I think it just executed powershell commands because the shell window opened up while the tool is deploying.
I just have a dev-unlocked win8.1, no further operation.

mine is dev unlocked too but add-appxpackage didn't work on power shell !
It needs a certificate that trusted as Root for any app I think .
If you can send me that tool in PM or share it here to try it

hey man...i am getting this error..i believe it has somethng to do with the XBM app..

any way to get around this?

Thanks!
The problem is, by default, you shouldn't be able to uninstall the app, as it is set by default, as assigned to the app's unique id.

I have reattached the app, with a new app ID, the only problem now is that you cannot uninstall the old one.

Oh man...so there is no way I can revert to the old app? I've heard that the XBM can't even be removed with the date trick. Sad :(

I don't mean to resurrect this thread, but I wanted to verify something...
The original post reads like you took the new apps, from Windows Phone 8.1, and made them to be installed on Windows Phone 8.0.
Is that correct?
If it is, why?
Doesn't everyone think the Games and Music + Videos apps, from Windows Phone 8.0, are better than their 8.1 variants?

Maybe I'm reading it backwards and you actually got the old apps working on the new OS.
If that's the case, thank you...
