Hey guys!
Is there any possibility to develop an application that sorts the Apps in the Programs menu?
I think there are many other people that love to have a easy solution for this!
If i had some experience to developing i wold try to do this but I have none
You can create 1-level folder tree directly in Windows/Start Menu/Programs and sort your apps there.
If you want to create some graphics effects,you can also try my Menu creation,that allows you to create as many folders as you wish with fully graphic skin,but unfortunately no touch support yet(I have it done primarily for SPs),arrows only.

Unfortunately it doesn't meet with popularity,so I stop to develop another versions. If someone want,I can describe anything about.
To some, this might seem worthless to look into but, I have searched this possiblity and I haven't been able to get any results that help.
What I am trying to do is take a program that I had on my Xperia WM device and get it to run on the Nexus One.
To run the program(in WM), there is a folder that you drop into the root of your SD card and then create a shortcut to the .exe file which, on WM, goes in your start menu.
( I mentioned the above to explain that it is not installed by a .cab file, if it helps any)
Anyone know if it is possible to run this program on Android?
Thank you all in advance for your time
not possible and I doubt there are any virtualization options on android. you are out of luck my friend.
Someone would have to port Wine to Android.
What program are you talking about? Maybe there already is a similar one for Android.
Not just a regular version of wine, but a windows ce version
Would be cool but I don't see it happening anytime soon
I don't see it happening ever. Microsoft is already ditching WM for the WP7S and I doubt anyone cares enough to work on such an app.
Short answer: No.
However, if it was made with .NET and Koush finishes the Mono port then there is a chance that the base functionality can be abstracted and an Android version could more or less be easily created. But that's a lot of "if"s going on and someone would still be taking the time to port any UI layers.
Moved to Q&A
Like so many of those great little apps and neat little softwares we find out there, Microsoft Live Mesh seems to be one of those personal favorites of mine that has been thrown to the wayside by what most likely is "Progress".
BACKGROUND
For those that find this application new to their world, Microsoft Live Mesh (http://www.mesh.com) is a Multi-Device Synchronization tool, also called a "cloud service", that creates and / or modifies a folder on either your Microsoft Windows PC, Apple PC, or Windows Mobile Device to allow synchronization of the content in that folder with other designated devices within the "cloud". Each folder can be set with specific permissions and can be allowed or denied access to other designated users. I've always felt as though this was a wonderful and amazing tool and had been using the service for a few years. As with many other members of this forum, I to find myself flashing many different ROM's on what can be a daily basis if the amazing chef's out there are hot in the kitchen!, and MS Live Mesh really made that process easier by allowing me to sync desired content that would have otherwise been tedious and allowed me to take my files I have on my PC with my on my WM PPC where ever I had an internet connection.
CURRENT STATUS
Sadly, as of the past year or so this wonderful software has become seriously underdeveloped, and I wanted to try and take a step toward a revival of this great application. One might argue that the reason for lack of development might be because of newer development in different and update phone software, or that there was not enough of a community outcry for this type of application. Whatever the case may be, one last cry for help on what has turned out to be a world renowned mobile device forum wouldn't hurt, right?
There is an already running MS Forum on the subject of development where if this sort of thing does perk your interest, you can find more information about what fixes have already been found. There is also already a forum on XDA Developers that has already been started... but the last thing mentioned in that forum was about getting access to the tech preview of the application.
MY RESULTS
So far, I have run into consistant failure in using the software using any of the new ROM's for my Fuze and am usually met with the same result... when I try to lauch the application on my Fuze, it crashes before finishing loading, or after I finish the login process, I am met with a setup error when trying to add my device to the cloud.
There you have it, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. If you have any idea's on how we might be able to get this up and running again, please feel free to post and let's really get some community development action going on! Hopefully it's not the case that MS has just pulled the plug on the whole thing and didn't tell anyone, right? :?
My understanding is that Mesh is being merged with Windows Live Sync (as part of Windows Live Wave 4). Hence data will be synced into Skydrive rather than the separate Mesh storage area. Hopefully this will mean a new winmo 6.5 client, although there is talk that this might be phone7 only
No release date for wave 4 yet either
Does anyone know or can anyone confirm there is a Network Plugin type app like WinMo had that allows you to map shared folders in WP8? Thats one of the major things thats keeping me on the fence about jumping from WinMo 6.1 to WP8. If someone can compile an app i can throw them the .cab file if they are too lazy to find it
I didn't see any apps for Windows Networking connectivity in a brief search of the store. It is not just a matter of recompiling, though; even if you have the source, WinMo apps and WP apps work very differently, and it would be a fair bit of effort (for example, the UI would need to be re-written) to make it work on WP8.
Also, WP doesn't have any built-in file managers. WP7 has homebrew ones for unlocked phones, but so far there's nothing really equivalent for WP8. I did think somebody was writing a SMB client app for WP7 that would let you browse network shares and open the files on them using your phone, but I can't find it in the Store.
There is an app for this (C)

Looks like what you need.

In theory at least. But thanks.
Hi guys,
This is my first post in XDA and this question should be posted in "Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking" but unfortunately, i don't have the minimum requirements of 10 posts for the Development and Hacking Section so i am hoping for someone to give me a push here.
I am looking for a way to access my shared folder on my LAN through Windows Phone Application. I have downloaded a sample from Microsoft which uses File Picker. When i run the project as a windows store application I select network, I type the UNC path and I can browse the folders, but when i run it in phone emulator the network option does not exists. I have searched Google for an example on how to enumerate shared folders in my LAN and i have not found any solution.
So if someone could help me it would be really appreciated.
Thank you
First of all, no, this thread *DEFINITELY* belongs where you put it. System working as intended. This is a Q, it goes in Q&A. It is neither something you've developed nor a hack to share, it does not go in D&H.
With that said, the problem is unfortunately simple: WP8 doesn't (seem to) support Windows networking (SMB) at all, so far as I can tell. This is somewhat odd, since it has both the LanmanServer and LanmanWorkstation services, which are responsible for providing Windows Networking support, plus all the relevant binaries appear to be present. This warrants further investigation!
You can, in theory, implement it using sockets (see Samba for an open-source implementation of SMB, though note that it is GPL code and if you use it you must open-source your application as well) in any case.
