Project Astoria Tools Leaked

[Tourniquet]

Im a bit confused. I've got the Lumia 730 where it says its supported but I stll get the error code 14. Why?

 

[oscarxvita]

try to cancel dev unlock using wp8.1/wp10 sdk or do a hard reset. Also remember always turn off the developer switch before reboot/shutdown.

This is big. Can anyone make a video?

What if the "For Developers" settings entry always crashes on Windows 10 Mobile? I can't set it up on the phone side.

so this has kind of broken my phone. after installing a few apps and games my phone crashed and restarted. now I can no longer use wconnect.exe to connect to my phone and I cant get into the developer settings (whenever I try all my quick setting tiles start flashing and become unresponsive). also the android apps I installed have become really slow. will update if I find a solution.

UPDATE
Problem seems to be getting worse. Now I can't even uninstall apps.

After patching snapchat with:

How to patch Android Apps depending on Google Maps and Google Play Services - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com

It at least lets me enter my login details; but it gets stuck on "Verifying device" for a while, then says login failed. so no joy yet.

This is odd, I got error 14 on my Lumia 920. How come?

 

[Slovenix]

Now my keyboard won't show up in messaging app lol

 

[gourav mopidevi]

anyone does this support lumia 1020 ?

 

[Slovenix]

I would not really recommend to do this, after few apps my phone started to randomly lag, hiccup, keyboard won't show up, and so on so yeah

I'll try to have only one app though and that is Windows Central and see how it goes.

Update: Now it won't even allow me to do it again, Developer settings would crash and Action Centre toggles starts blinking, resulting in inability to connect the phone with installing process via PC again.

Also you'll probably just realize that Native Windows apps are Awesome

[note]Windows Central is not linking to the file nor providing instructions on how to sideload. Simply put, the software is not finished, and the ability to steal Android apps is not something we would like to promote.

Guys remember this isn't even a public release of the project so there WILL be problems! Things can and will go wrong!
Errors? Might be a simple issue, might just be bad luck, etc. Don't expect it to work perfectly for everyone, all the time.

So tread lightly and don't take it lightly. Don't decide to use it for anything mission critical if you can.

 

[Laura Knotek]

can you please give me the links!?

This is so sad. People are so desperate for apps that they are willing to take scraps and hand me downs.

Just when I started settling back in with windows phone and enjoying the os things like this make me so frustrated. There goes any hope of native windows app. We are the new blackberry.

Plus also the deployment tool is designed for developers to be able to test their own applications. The 'public release' of this tool still won't be for end-users, but developers. The goal isn't for end-users to deploy their Android devices to their own devices, but for developers to submit their APK (sometimes requiring modifications for Google services) to the Store after debugging and testing their application so that only then we can purchase and download those apps as normal.

Why look at the empty half here... If a developer can tap a new market with minimum effort that would be great.... If windows turned out to be what Microsoft hope it to be, they can then invest in making a native app.

 

[realwarder]

Has anyone tried it on an unsupported phone,like the 635? I wanna test it out but my 635 is my daily driver,so IDK

I saw yesterday said 635 was supported which totally surprised me.

That's not to say it will work... Just saying some documentation says it is.

Note that the purpose of this tool is for developers to get more apps in the store. Wait a few months until WM10 is released and just enjoy the influx of apps!

The goal is for end users to not really know or care about the tools!

There is a big difference between Microsoft writing a native App or a Developer using the tools to properly port their App as opposed to normal users taking a leaked version of the tool and sideloading cracked apks to their devices.

I'm confident in believing no one at Microsoft, no indie developer, no development house - none of them are sitting back right now saying, "Wow. Users can take this method and bork my app and make it look bad, can sideload it without giving me any credit in the store for downloads, for payment, for proper credit with my ad revenue program, can risk their devices and potentially expose them to harm all while infringing on my intellectual property in any number of ways. Gosh, I think that is great and I must support it." Nope. Not what the repercussions of this leak are going to create as a reaction.

It puts the community in a bad light to see so many rushing to embrace this "methodology" without examining what it entails to do this.
