[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Hmm... but with jailbreak, do the binaries run? I mean, they're NT Win32-based PE binaries compiled for THUMB2 architecture, so I'm sure they can at least be executed, but do they actually run or do this simply error out or crash immediately?

It would be interesting to compare the certificate chains of RT and WP8 binaries. As far as I know, the default restriction level on RT should allow anything that chains to the Microsoft root Authenticode cert to run, which means either that we misunderstand that restriction or that the WP8 signatures chain to a completely different cert. I'm guessing it's the latter, but that does surprise me. I could understand if RT used the "Windows" signing level and WP8 binaries wouldn't work; despite having Windows in the name, using the Win32 API, and running on the NT kernel, the Windows Phone team is separate from the Windows team and quite likely has its own signing keys. I would think that an OS which accepts Office and DevDiv/Tools signatures (unless Office and the debuggers were re-signed by the Windows team? I haven't checked) would accept Windows Phone signatures too.

As far as running, some have given me console output, but I haven't gotten a single GUI one to start. I've been considering on looking to see how complex the UI is to see if I can write some sort of WP8->Win32 translation layer. There are just so few WP8 xaps floating around that it's not really worth looking into, though.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
I don't expect the GUI to work; the whole model (with the Back history and all that) is going to rely on stuff not found on Windows Client. Cool that you're able to get some CLI apps to work (which is funny in and of itself; WP8 doesn't support a terminal interface). This is only post-jailbreak though? That still seems weird, since the signatures chain to the MS root CA. Very weird. I'll poke around myself once I download a ROM to explore (busy with work at present).
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netham45:
I haven't really found any to work, per se, I've just gotten console output, generally in the form of an error message or a help prompt. I can't recall which files exactly I had tried with, though. I mostly just poked through system32.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
the GUI classes of windows phone are not compatible with the standard .Net library or windows RT. The only way to get them running is through some sort of virtual machine. Some MSFT guys confirmed this a few months back at a training course about W8 RT.

Basically, it is kinda difficult to have WP8 apps show any GUI at all outside of their WP8 runtime.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcheater3161:
In regards to the file "MMOS.wim", has anyone managed to extract it/analyze it?

I couldn't find anything about it online. I am able to mount the file to a virtual disk and view its contents, but I am not able to view/read/extract any of these files from the drive. Trying to copy any file from the drive gives a system error/exception message that I have never seen before.

Are the files inside of "MMOS.wim" even useful?

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

Not difficult, more like impossible lol.

The entire native UI is very independent. It is best described as one single app that has multiple pages. The start menu is a page, settings app is a page, office 365 is a page, etc.

These different pages all cross-reference resources from each other and can modify each other. However, they are all compiled separately. Each "page" contains it's own resources and GUI markup in a dll, along with native code to interact with the markup. This native code can also call functions and access resources from other "page" dll's. There are no compiler dependencies between the "pages" when being created, only during actual runtime.

Things are very "coupled" by this model on purpose. Changing code/functionality in the startmenu.dll could potentially break everything. It is designed so that you cannot target and modify a specific element or feature without updating code in other areas of the system.

Basically, you need full access and understanding of the gui layouts/code to modify it.

The only reasonable possibility is the ability to modify the markup code (think XAML) to change layouts and visuals. But even that possibility is made difficult since the markup is compiled. However, no information is lost during the compilation, meaning that the markup can be decompiled back to its original form.

Windows 8/RT uses DUI (DirectUI), a similar framework, for all of it's native GUI elements.

Windows Phone 7/8 uses UIX/Splash.

Asking a former Microsoft employee about UIX/Splash is like asking a former U.S. government agent about Area 51. They seriously fear for their lives.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
I would avoid using the word impossible as of yet. With a layer of emulation above RT the thing should "run".

It might be possible to have an app compliant with the app store requirements (as in not require jailbreak) on RT to emulate the WP8 GUI model, but that would imply interpreting the XAML code and emulate it JVM style, but it would be a lot of work.

I wonder if the WP8 emulators would prove to be of any use...
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcheater3161:
My GUI post was in regards to the native GUI. I didn't realize that you were talking about WP8 apps running on Windows RT. I thought you meant the other way around lol.

Couldn't this potentially be pointless? Microsoft Job posting was looking for developers interested on deploying .appx on Windows Phone I believe. So that means they are going to make .appx the universal model for all platforms and not .xap in the future. With that said, they might be stopping .xap development completely in the future.

Who would develop an .xap for Windows Phone when you can develop .appx and have it work on Windows Phone + Windows RT + Windows 8 + Xbox?

Just some thoughts. I think trying to get .XAP running on Windows RT is pointless to pursue right now, since the time researching would be better spent in other areas of development.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
Im not sure how they are going to make appx run on WP8. The WinRT model is obviously tuned towards bigger screens. How would you use a charms bar on WP8? In fact, how would you use any of the W8 stuff on WP8?

I think a lot of people would like to run emulated WP8 apps on their tablets, since some apps have not been ported yet.

While I do agree this is kinda pointless, it's a nice way of learning new stuff.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netham45:
The main point of trying WP8 apps on Windows RT was to see if it trusted the certificate chains. If it did then we could assume that Windows RT apps would also run on WP8 which, since we have a signed debugger, would be a huge benefit.

They don't run on Windows RT, though, which greatly diminishes the chance of WP8 accepting a Windows RT signed PE. They're all signed by the Microsoft main certificate, but the Windows and Windows Phone teams seem to have differing intermediate certificates, which is likely where they're tripping up.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crucian4:
I upgraded from the Sprint Epic 4G Touch with JB 4.1. My phone app had a blue background and dark theme. Is there a way to change this bright white $h! t that Samsung has opted to go with? A dark theme and color also helps extend my battery life.

Same question on the default mail app. This changed with an update to the app itself at some point on my Epic 4G Touch. I don't remember how I changed the email app background color but I cannot find it in the settings which is where I thought I did it.

Can anyone recommend a good replacement to the stock email app that might allow this?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScumDroid:
Page not found. The easiest way to root your phone is to use the chainfire auto root. You need the Google SDK package installed for the ADB commands, unlock your bootloader, then run the auto root. You can flash CWM recovery or TWRP through the Rom manager app, or Goo manager app available via playstore. It sounds like you may have soft bricked it somehow.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrettnx:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopezk38:
Download a recovery (CWM)

Download and install the Android SDK if you haven't already (Or at least fastboot.exe)

Paste the recovery into the folder with fastboot.exe

Navigate to the folder with fastboot.exe in CMD (Command Line)

Plug in your phone

Boot into fastboot (I'm assuming your bootloader is unlocked)

Type in fastboot flash recovery (Recovery file name EXACTLY with the file extension, which should be .img I think)

Should have a working recovery

This petty annoyance has been bugging me for ages. When I use the XDA developers theme with a Cooked TMO 4.01.16 rom the font color for menu items is white.

The lack of contrast between the white letters and tan background makes it unreadable.

Anyone know how to change the font color for the menu items??

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] auburnham:
This has been bugging me too. There may be a registry entry somewhere that we can change. I once restored the entire registry to it's original state (WM2003 default theme), and although the background was not changed to the WM03 default theme, the menu font changed from white to black. It makes me think that whatever registry entry was changed wasn't just pointing to a different .TSK file, but actually changed parameters of the theme (namely the font color). Anyone have any more information on this?

[Nook Touch Android Development] Mineturtle33:
Alright, this mod is dedicated to mariog, who helped me to not give up on this idea.

Now, on to the MOD...

This mod is a ROM that gives the NST an experience that is as-close-as-possible to legitimate Android. This mod will be flashed using the CWM for NST. There's one problem, I had a release ready, but when I tested it, well that's another story. The point is, I deleted alpha-1 in a fit of rage over it not working, so, I need more devs to help me build this, because A.) I can't dedicate my every waking hour to this. (I'm in school most of the time) B.) Because my first attempt failed even though I looked it over like a Trillion times. ( Just to clarify: it booted, but everything crashed. Literally everything) Obviously I'm doing something wrong. I've built unofficial ROMs before.

In the future, I hope to branch this mod out to other black and white Readers, But at this point, I'm just worried about the NST.

THE MOD WILL INCLUDE:

-The best homescreen possible for the NST (Was using stock 2.1 Eclair launcher, not sure what is best. Launcher 7 looks good)

-Barnes & Noble stock reading apps

-B&N OOBE. (Modified?)

-Android Market/Gapps

-Dropbox included in install

-No bloatware (ie: phone.apk etc)

-Best NST internet browser (opera mini) installed as default browser)

-"Chef's freezer" app (look it up)

-Probably more.

-I will also include a minimalistic version. (No: dropbox, browser, freezer, Gapps other than Gmail)

All I need is devs willing to devote just a little bit of their time to this project.

Note: ROM based on android 2.1, I will try to do 2.3 once CM7 support is made for the NST.

Note2: All you readers will be lucky if I get any sort of release anytime soon. Don't rush me. If you want to get this fast, then you can help me! I need beta-testers and devs anyways. No unofficial releases will be made to non beta-testers. If you want them, become a beta-tester!
