This might be in another thread. I searched pretty extensively for an answer and can't find one. Is there an app or way to install exe files and run them on my Magic 32B? My phone is rooted and running Cyanogen's 4.2.5 I figured my phone does everything else, why shouldn't it be able to run exe files?
Sorry for the bump. I can access the exe file on my memory card with Linda File manager, but I don't know what the open the file with??? Linda File Manager gives me the option to > Open With... Any ideas?
Android cannot open Windows based files.......
WEAK!
One thing I have learned from xda is that if theres a will theres a way! Comon guys there has gotta be a way!
Android is not windows..
In theory you could port qemu or something and run it in that. But that would be so slow a turtle would think of itself as fast if it saw it

Agreed. I want to say someone got Wine to install in Android but could never get it to work right.

The idea is sweet and innocent but is much more complex...
The "exe" files are binaries. The .exe extension is something windows has as a standard for postfix, and is not necessary for running binaries (linux does not use any postfix and therefor also Android).
So what is a binary?
It's a list of machine instructions which the intended cpu understands. Every cpu has it's own instruction set ( a language). You need to make sure that the list of instructions you are running can be understood by the cpu. Inside this list you will find special instructions which is called "system calls". They are not intended for the cpu but for the operation system which you are running on.
So to sum up;
1) to run windows binaries on Android you need to change to instruction set of the binary because the cpu you have is not the same as those running on the Android device. E.g. x86 cpu on computer vs. ARM cpu on mobile devices vs. PIC micro-controllers. So the binary does not speak the same language as the cpu.
2) You need to change the system calls because Windows and Android does not have the same system calls.
So as a final sum up, it's not easy to make those binaries to run on Android, specially those which has a instructions list bigger than 20-30 instructions... They are just to complex and sometimes not even possible!
The WINE project is shot of doing the exact problem. It will run the binaries and translate them on the fly for the operating system. It succeed most times and fail others. But it's a HUGE project and need a normal computer power for it to run. The devices we have right now, does not have the horse power to run such projects.
I hope the info shades some lights on the problem :0)
NB: i know some of the info is not 100% but it's REALLY simplified to give the general idea and complexity of the problem :0)

Just in addition, most programs aren't just based on the .exe file. DLLs and other files are needed for the program to run, attempting to port all this stuff to Android would most probably result in failing.

I just hope Android is so popular that, like turning Windows into Linux using Wine (excuse the metaphor or whatever that was), someone might persist with this no doubt huge endeavour. I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to never run a Windows app in Windows ever again, nor kowtow to Apple's interface demands even though I'd like something as responsive, integrated and occasionally useful as an iSomething.
Android was my future salvation till my employer handed over a handy Win App recently that I can't really avoid using - well I could, but I'd have to work that much harder - fat chance! So I'm stuck with a Samsung XP netbook and WM6.5 on my HTC Touch HD until someone somewhere, or lots of someones everywhere, do a Wine for Android
Seriously, you want to pretend in some reality somewhere that someone will first create an x86 emulator for an arm chip that barely likes to play xvid files then on top of that use wine to run a mobile windows app rather than just use something similar or pay someone to write you something similar that runs natively on android?
Which do you think is the non-insane option?
you cant run it on android persay but you can download dosbox and run it that way sorry for the bump
work for now
For now install your exe app on a windows PC if you have one. And run something like team viewer. Won't look the best but you'll get basic function out of it.
Thanks for the suggestions (cellsafemode excepted! )
I ended up buying a couple of iPads and have installed VMWare View, ICAB HD and Slashtop/CamCam giving remote access to my Windows PC at home. Gets the job done - bit slower, but the small Windows-only app I need to run infrequently isn't a huge load on the hardware or the network. Saves carting a netbook around for just one small but important task, and I guess it's accomplishing much the same as the Android suggestions above. When my iPad enthusiasm wears off, I'll have an Android option
Found a Way
Ok, I got a way! You need root, and itll be very slow on a phone but faster on a tablet!!

if your mobile does everything else then can you do multitasking just like people do in Nokia N9??
yes its possible ..
ohhh yaaa its possible to install .exe file on any android device ..
just follow these simple steps and you are done :
Step 1
Install a DOSBox app on your Android device. AnDOSBox, aDosBox and DosBox Turbo are three different DOSBox apps available from the Google Play store.
Step 2
Open the DOSBox app.
Step 3
Type "cd \foldername" into the command line, where "foldername" denotes the folder in which your EXE is contained. For example, if your EXE is in the Download folder, type "cd \download."
Step 4
Click Enter on your Android keyboard.
Step 5
Enter the name of the EXE file. You do not need to enter the .exe extension.
Step 6
Tap "Enter" on your Android keyboard.
Tip
The command-line interface is not case-sensitive.

Hi all!
I was just wanting to see what other people were using as their metro wallpaper. I was getting bored of the old ones I made and I was still using the consumer preview imageres file so I just started over for the release preview.
Here is my current one (ignore the break in the middle, its just more of the same starfield). Looking forward to seeing what other people are using so that I can steal it
How do you crate that ... it's beautiful
You change the imageres.dll file.
This isn't the exact walkthrough that I used, but it is similar enough (it is in italian so you may need to translate.
http://windows8italia.forumfree.it/?t=60566861
Then it is just a matter of finding an image you like and splitting it in half in a logical way.
I see that someone is following my guides.
This is my first post here and I did not imagine finding this my guide
This guide I made on the Consumer Preview, however, also works on Relase Preview.
If there are errors or incomprehensions let me know

The other one that I had used before was on Tweakscene but all of the good stuff seems to be behind a paywall now. There was another one that I had used in the past on a chinese site, but I don't even know how I got there in the first place, let alone how to find it again.

There are many things to do to improve Windows 8 more ...
This, however, was one of my first guides, and, I repeat, I had written when there was still the CP.
If there are "Resource Editor" that double as command, I could make a more automated little program for customizing the start-screen, although it is very difficult ...
It looks very nice.
Any way to do this without a dual-boot setup? I tried safe mode and the dll is still in use.

Unfortunately I think it's difficult to do this with Windows only 8 to edit.
You need at least another Operating System that is able to read NTFS partitions, or you must use the CD of Windows Vista / 7
I could think of to "take ownership" and the popular program "unlocker" but I think they can do little on 'OS to change.
Since we all have, I believe, the DVD of Windows 8 (CP or RP), I could find a way to use that. I have to do some small tests first.
Unfortunately the installation DVD of Windows 8 is different from that of Vista / 7 and has been removed according to navigate through files, I'll try and see
[edit]
Ok, I found a way to use the DVD of Windows 8.
In a little 'I'll do a article on my site of the guide and get better compared to the one linked, making it easier and more complete and adapting to the new method and the RP
Stay tuned
p.s. If there are criticisms and suggestions, tell me, so I can make a better guide for you

I do it all within windows 8. I don't think it is too difficult.
Here is what I do:
1. Swipe to the charm and go to settings -> change pc settings -> general -> advance start-up options.
2. Once you restart you'll see three metro-esq icons (continue, troubleshoot, turn off PC). Select troubleshoot -> advanced options -> start-up settings.
3. The computer will restart again and you'll get your various start-up options. Select #6. Safe mode with comand prompt.
4. At the cmd prompt take ownership of imageres.dll (takeown /f C:\windows\system32\imagres.dll
5. Restart and go into the system 32 folder on the PC and copy find the imageres.dll file.
6. Right click and change to the security tab and check the box for full control.
7. Copy the file to the desktop or where ever you want to work on it.
8. Change the file with resource hacker as described above to insert your images.
9. Go back to the advance reset options and reset back into safe mode with the cmd prompt. Copy the file from your desktop (or where ever) back to the system 32 folder. (copy c:\users\[user name]\desktop\imageres.dll c:\windows\system32)
You should get confirmation asking to overwrite the file and if the permissions were set correctly you'll get confirmation that the file was copied. When you reset the computer you'll see the new theme in the settings menu.
Good luck!

Hey guys,
I made this this afternoon. I wanted something different from the rest that didn't steer too far away from the "norm" that didn't look tacky. gosh there are some really tacky wallpapers getting around.
Anyway I am not even sure any of you will even like this, I am not sure if I even like it yet .....it's growing on me I guess?
I need for someone to possibly dump the latest version of the app from their development/pre-production edition of their Nokia Lumia. I don't think it matters if its a BUILD 920 or if its a developer 822, or whatever. I have a few ideas of some things that can be done via this app, as almost all of the dial codes on the 928 launch extras+info. One of them involves launching the service tools (including EPST) menu and stuff of that nature. I could probably just experiment with the one that launched with the 928 GDR2 rom, but its probably missing some "features" that have been worked on, but still incomplete.
Its also possible that these are baked inside the rom and completely inaccessible to the app and will only be updated when Nokia Black update releases.
ANY HELP WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

dumped from ROM .
but I don't know whether it is the latest one or not.
Also, I think you won't be able to deploy it to any NOKIA devices cause it requires INTEROP UNLOCK which is impossible on NOKIA now.

did you extract it from GDR2 (Amber Rom) ?
It's not the last version .
maybe we have to wait for GDR3 then we can extract last version of Extras + Info.
or maybe someone who have Samsung Ativ S can try proxy and try to download Extras + Info from market place using Sysapp Pusher (to find market link)
Then Using Full File Access to copy app files.

That's essentially why I said I needed it from a developer lumia, I don't even think it will install on ATIVs, due to OEM drivers required. Those devices have the option to have their full filesystem exposed when changed via the "Diagnostics" app that only available on developer/pre-production handsets.
Besides that what ROM did you dump this from hjc?

Guys a little question
Why don't we use the first lumia 920 rom ?
maybe we can find something that can help us to Interop Unlock but Microsoft and Nokia delete that in next rom releases .
Then we can Prevent Re-lock and update phone again !
I'm not sure but it seams to be some different between GDR2 rom of Nokia Lumia 920 (Apac Malaysia White is mine) and it's first Rom .
I have some problems in these days and I don't see all the differents but In first view you can find that there is no test folder in first rom but GDR2 have a folder named test and includes "QCFMFTMApp.exe"
or another thing is all of the programs are listed in :
PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\Xaps
but in GDR2 there's some xap files in this address too :
PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\OEM\Public\PreloadedApps\tier3Apps
did anyone checked the older Roms?
Thats it! I needed ver. 3.0.6.1 (because I can't deploy this to it and I'm not reflashing to just have an older version) to first see if there were any changes to Nokia.FUE.WinPRTRegistry, and possibly launch that registry script that's been embedded in it. Now all I need to do is see if there is a URI that links to the page, but I believe all bets are off. Nokia has been good about cleaning up their tracks.
THe version from the other extras was 2.6.1.18.

QCFMTMApp.exe seems to be a driver level executable that physically tunes the FM Radio in Nokia's various phones.
tier3apps, seem to be xaps that need additional permissions that essentially use provxml like in WP7 days. The NFL app that @tonbonz had done some looking into had a settings page that changes the WAP address for Verizon devices.It was interesting at the very least to see the differences between HTC and Nokia. The difference? @wap vs no @wap
Dump files from 2nd 928 GDR2 .... http://sdrv.ms/1hnqgNA
This package(extra+info) contains a silent installer and it is worth doing some research around it.
I opened it using ilspy only to find it called AddPackageAsync(), which is available in Windows Runtime to deploy enterprise xap and nobody knows how it works. @GoodDayToDie @ultrashot how do you think about it? Nokia use this API to install and update xap in settings page. It seems to be a service agent,too ,which is very interesting. How did it call the API silently...when we call the API, user will notice a notification asking whether he/she wants to install the enterprise app but no matter how you call it, the deployment won't succeed

I am also wondering about details of Enterprise deployment - I haven't looked into it too much, but as i remember you have to install .cer provided by MS to device and then sign your xap with it, and such apps will get installed.
(I was wondering if such signing can "unlock" any of interesting capabilities)
Sadly, enterprise apps (CAPABILITY_CLASS_ENTERPRISE_APPLICATIONS) just uses the same capability list as CAPABILITY_CLASS_THIRD_PARTY_APPLICATIONS; nothing useful there. It's a shame.

After diving into a Lumia 521 ROM, I am not 100% sure that's the case....
I was poking around in the tier3apps directory (\PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\OEM\Public\PreloadedApps\tier3Apps\), and I noticed that some of these apps ("Nokia Accessories" and "Network Settings" apps) have interesting capabilities such as <Capability Name="ID_CAP_CELL_API_OEM_PASSTHROUGH"/>, <Capability Name="ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES"/>, and <Capability Name="ID_CAP_OEM_DEPLOYMENT"/>. These apps can be installed/updated via Nokia's "SilentInstaller" app. Nokia's "SilentInstaller" app just calls into AddPackageAsync(), which is available to us "normal folk" for Enterprise app deployment.
I am wondering if we could create some sort of a "shell" xap with a giant "Install button" that contains a payload such as an unaltered copy of the Samsung Diagnostics xap and appropriate license file. Clicking on the Install button would then install the signed "elevated app" onto any device. We could then launch a toast that will launch the "Registry Editor" page in the Samsung app, allowing for us to interop unlock.
The only thing that I can think of that would make this fruitless is if somehow "AddPackageAsync()" is being called "elevated" by Extras + Info (maybe it inherits whatever capabilities the parent process launched as?), and that is why Nokia can deploy things like this.
What do you guys think? This is all speculation, but I think it could be worth exploring.
**EDIT**
My phone will be back from service Wednesday, so maybe I will whip something up next weekend, if no one tries before then.

Hi guys,
I tried to implement good old method to block unwanted ads by adding advertising sites to the HOSTS file, on the Sammy ATIV Odyssey (full FS unlock) and it works perfectly But I'm still unsure ('cause I'm developer and do have some ad-based apps in store) - should I post this info? BTW, we do have mods, lets give 'em the rights to decide, delete this thread or not...
So, this method is pretty simple (he-he, same as my very-very first WP7 hack):
1) You muist have an interop-unlocked handset with full FS access
1) Download the latest "blocking" hosts file, for example, from here
2) Rename your download from hosts.txt to HOSTS
3) Connect your handset to PC, navigate to \Windows\system32\drivers\etc folder
4) Paste downloaded HOSTS file, choose "replace" in the copiyng dialog.
5) That's all folks!
You don't need to reboot (like on Android phone with AdAway app) - now your handset is ads-free...
If you wanna revert back, just delete \Windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS file.
Nice! I will try it! ?

@sensboston:
Am I right in assuming that there's no way to interop-unlock a WP8.1 phone like the Lumia 930? At least I couldn't find one...
After some years I did the 2nd attempt to adopt to WP. The first one lasted for a day or so. Now, after some days of using the Lumia 930, I really really love it. Not only the device, but also WP8.1. But the fact that there is no way to block ads in browsers is really really annoying. I have no problems with ads in apps, because if I like an app, I purchase it anyway. But I can't "buy away" ads in browsers, and lots of sites get more or less unusable in mobile view and without ads being blocked.
Unfortunately there's not even an alternative browser for WP that would have the capability to block ads...
Worked on Lumia
I did this on my Lumia 1520 without Interop unlock
Works fine, thanks
I did this AGES ago on my 8X. Didn't think it was post-worth lol.

How exactly did you do that? My assumption was that you need interop-unlock in order to access the file system, including the hosts file. If you are not interop-unlocked, I would assume you have some other kind of unlock. Developer-unlock?

You know, right after my first "hack" for WP7 (also it was my first post here ), a lot of websites and forums are announced this hack without reference to me or xda. But (he-he ) , just AFTER my post...
This hack (from the user experience) is one of the most useful hacks for WP. But as a developer with ads-based apps, I was in a quandary - should I post it here or not...

No Interop Unlock, nor developer unlock, I used my own "Root Tool" app from windows store. Which is capable of all second party capabilities.
My pleasure.

Is there a way you can walk me through the process to use your app
Oh, I've got your "Root Tool" - still no luck for handsets without SD-card
P.S. He-he, I believe, I'll get WP10 Lumia-940 before someone will release hack for the Lumias without sd-card...
@djamol: I'm curious, how'd you manage to replace the HOSTS file on a non-Samsung phone? Root Tool doesn't allow moving files out of Windows directory, or copying or moving files in, unless you're using the Samsung CRPComponent.
Similarly, while you can get read access to the Windows directory via MTP when using Root Tool, you can't get full FS access; most of the file system (like the Windows dir) will be read-only or even totally unavailable.
I edited the HOSTS file on my Samsung - in fact, I wrote an app to do it, because I had to do it for work sometimes - but that was using CRPComponent or Full FS Access via MTP, neither of which are currently possible on a Lumia using any public hack I know of...

So what i told you before a many times. I've mentioned you a lots of time in my posts.

On Lumia device there is a lots of some pretty well arbitrary resources that can allow us to access the "SYSTEM" resources.
I think we had a big miss-understanding about the RPCComponent. because of RPCComponent uses "DeviceIOControl" for registry access and not the RPC functionality. (forgive me if i wrong in my knowledge. I'm a student and new to WP/.Net Platform)
On Lumia Device there is .winmd component known as "Nokia.SilentInstaller.Runtime.winmd" uses "DeviceIOControl" API.
For the "FileSystem" API it works fine without any restrictions which is implemented in "Nokia.SilentInstaller.Runtime.winmd"
But registry access could not getting a well token privileges. we need to find some unlocking trick for registry access (like NonProductionErrors.txt) for that .winmd component to handle the "CreateFileW" function for "DeviceIOControl" API.
About the "Root Tool" App.
There is no update for "Root Tool" app. It is still on the FIRST Release.
Currently I'm working for the "Root Tool Beta" update and I've implemented such resources in my "BETA" build.
I can't do a fast development because of my less/poor Programming knowledge and due to my college busy scheduled.
Thanks.
Can someone make a tutorial how to make it work on lumia 735 please ? i'm new on WP and doesn't understand everything for now
@djamol: My apologies, I somehow missed that you'd managed to get file access working. That's great!
Looking at the APIs that NdtkClient.dll imports, I'm pretty sure it's using RPC, not DeviceIoControl (IOCTL). That's not really important, though; both require INTEROPSERVICES. It's just easier to write our own code using IOCTLs than using RPC, but since we already have a client library, hopefully that won't be needed...
@GoodDayToDie, @djamol: guys, could you please be a little bit more specific? Do you have a .winmd for this dll or function prototypes (not just exports)? NdtkClient.dll library is already on \Windows\system32? Or it should be ingested to the app package? (in this case, the app will be banned on automatic certification process).
As for the "Root Tool" (published in store), it's not using NdtkClient.dll (as far as I know). The file access via FileSystem.winmd/FileSystem.dll to system areas is read-only...
Could you share your finds to general public here or (at least) in private mail? Thanks!
@GoodDayToDie
Yes, Both requires ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES.
Can you send me FileSystem's code which is you developed base on the RPCComponent ?
I'll try to port it for lumia using NtdkSvc as possible.
I hope you can port it also for lumia in minutes but I'll try though.
@sensboston
There is no .winmd file for "NtdkClient.dll". You will find that .dll in extras+info app.
and "NtdkSvc.dll" in this path "C:\Windows\System32\NdtkSvc.dll".
There is a very simple trick to bypass the Store Submission process including with kernel libs.

Even those cap's cant write here until using any System Resources.
"C:\Data\Users\PUBLIC"
But can write here.
"C:\Data\SharedData\OEM\Public"
"C:\PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\OEM\Public"
FileMoveEdit alpha-ish thing
Here you go. It's not been updated in ages, aside from some really minor tweaks I made just now. It's a WP8.0 app; it'll run on a sufficiently-unlocked 8.1 phone, but uses no 8.1 APIs. It also has some known bugs that I really ought to fix, though I'm working on other stuff at the moment.
You can probably get at least some of its tricks working on Lumias, though you may need to drop the symlink functionality as that both requires full capability-unlock and requires editing the NTFS configuration settings in the registry (the same key that, on desktop Windows, is edited by the "fsutil" program).
@GoodDayToDie
Sad thing happened for me. My device screen got broken
So I'm opening a new thread for "Root Tool" app public development.
It would be great for everyone.
Can anyone suggest me for which is best method for public development or any github/codeplex useful ?
@djamol, github is allright.
Hello People. This is basically a combination of batch scripts made by me to make WSL less daunting for people who do not want to do Powershell things and introduce MANY more people to Linux [and make existing dual boot Linux users just stick to Windows w/o the ugly GRUB].
Disclaimer: Only you know what you're doing. I have tested everything on me and my friend's PC and it seems to work fine. If your PC catches fire or starts an apocalypse it's not my fault. So yeah be careful about what you're doing.
Things the scripts can do:
1) Enable WSL 2 in any Windows 10 2004 computer. [NEW: Older versions of windows 10 are now supported.]
2) Download all the available distros with a couple key presses.
3) Automatically detects the downloaded distro and installs it without any user input.
Downloads are attached in the thread and instructions are given in the zip file.
How to know which zip to download (1 or 2) [Don't Skip]:
1) Go to the start menu.
2) Type "Run" and press enter
3) Then type there "winver" and press enter.
4) If you see 2004 there, ONLY THEN are you able to download the WSL-2 zip. Otherwise update your Windows or use the WSL-1 zip.
Note to self: Things to do in the future--
1) Make a GUI of sorts.
2) Anything else the people want.
Not going to force you or anything, but I would appreciate if you pressed the Thanks button after benefiting from my zip (I see 78 downloads but only 2 thanks...)

you're very welcome
Just have to. Say thanks had this opFeat installed since maybe it was first available in the list and never researched how. To. Use it or. What it really did. Just gotta find out if this will run fine on my surface too (anything except liveOS off usb will work and causes windows to eff up despite grub/4win/stock/grub if it works excites to use kali on there properly}

You're very welcome but I would be happy if the thanks button was pressed Also, it should work fine on any Windows 10 computer [remember I am using a Haswell computer and it still works]. I also have Kali working but it does not support Monitor Mode and Packet Injection just yet [Microsoft does not want to implement this feature due to security concerns]. You can also get a GUI up and running with ONLY kali using Win-Kex [look it up]
Our PC system has been attacked by a ransomewhere virus, called as .lisp file virus and our files has been encrypted to .lisp sub-extension. Any technical advice?
Thanks but any chance of getting clean links that don't require allowing JavaScript before i can access them ?
It's blocked by my browser security and even if i allow it ,the download link gets blocked by Eset.
Doesn't anyone vet the links that get posted in the forum here ?
There's no need for a download link to be like that.
