[UPDATE 18.12.10] Shared Homebrew projects

let me start a thread where you all can drop your shared homebrew app's.
For homebrew app's we first need to unlock:
iridium21 said:
As people may know, Chevron have removed their unlocker download for WP7 so I thought I'd archive it and make it available for everyone here still:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q1T7WQMK
EDIT: Thanks to Cendaryn we also have the required security certificate - the easiest way (thanks to Talys) to install the cert and unlock your WP7 is to do as follows:
1. Unzip file, and attach chevronwp7.cer (see below for file) to an e-mail to yourself
2. Open email in WP7
3. Tap attachment once, turns it into a shield, tap it again, goes to install certificate screen with white letters on black screen
4. Click install at the bottom
5. Make sure registry is modified:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\ProxyPorts]“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5
I think the WP7 developer tools from MS does this, but you can add it in manually (it's a 32bit DWORD)
6. Plug in phone and leave Zune running
7. Run chevronwp7.exe, click both checkboxes
8. Click unlock
Excellent video tutorial here thanks to Jaxbot
[Edit 8th Dec 2010]
Worried that Microsoft has relocked your phone? They haven't, look here
Hope this helps someone.

Still very basic, not the most stable either, but at least you can browse the Windows folder, and read text files.
I'll probably put more effort in once I've got further with my SevenIRC App.

Hi all !
For all devices unlocked with ChevronWP7 Unlocker , we're can easy install custom ringtones or applications .XAP format via Application Deployment , but everytimes need open start menu --> Application Deployment then browser .xap to tool for install take too much times and almost make some in us crazy
That why i decided to write Tom XAP installer , basicly Tom XAP installer and Application Deployment are the same ( Alow install custom .xap to device and emulator windows phone 7 ) But Tom XAP installer a lot convenience , it's alow you install .xap with double click to file or simple just right click --> install xap
How to :
Download exe and put it somewhere in PC, run it , it will automatic add registry path of application and add menu , icon to .XAP files
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then just close it and now double click to custom ringtones , or any .xap format files , the Tom XAP installer will automatic open and give you some details ( App name , Version , Author , Size , Description of XAP ) then select where you will install xap ( device or emulator )
Press Install and wait it finish.
Notices :
1. Tom XAP installer Requires .NET 4.0 Framework and Windows Phone 7 SDK
2. If you install xap to device
- Please make sure your device was unlocked with ChevronWP7 Unlocker ( Here is guide how to unlock )
- Make sure your device was connected with PC and Zune lauched
- Make sure your device not in sleep mode
3. If you move Tom XAP installer.exe to other location in PC , you should run it again one time for registry again location of application
4. If you don't like this software , just run Tom XAP installer.exe and uncheck " Enable Tom XAP installer" it will uninstall all registry of Tom XAP installer in your PC

Man I need a webserver on my phone.
davux said:
I've extended jmorrill's code to include the Winsock functions to listen. The example proves that one may listen on port 80.
One problem with this library right now is that it is IPv4 only. I tried to make things generic but that was quite hard, I'm also really not very familiar with native Winsock anyway.
dl.dropbox.com/u/12359/PhoneNetworkingSample_with_listen.zip
[edit] and here's a really simple (and really hacked together - you've been warned) webserver!
dl.dropbox.com/u/12359/wp7_webserver.zip
The code is definitely *preview quality* - I pulled it together just now because I don't think I'll be able to work on this for a few days, so it'd be a starting point but I'm sure it's buggy.

davux said:
I've enhanced my Webserver sample to support reading from the device (where allowed), as well as reading/writing IsolatedStorage
//dl.dropbox.com/u/12359/WP7Homebrew_Webserver.zip
The XAP is located in the Webserver project.
I am not finished, there are several issues:
- I have not implemented support for getting the local endpoint, so you need to know your phones IP address
- There is a bug somewhere that causes a problem when uploading larger files.
- There is no UI
- No authentication!
To access the webserver, open the app on your phone (it will disable the idle timer and run behind the lock screen)
//phone_ip/IsolatedStorage
//phone_ip/Windows
IsolatedStorage is a special case (virtual directory that uses the SDK IsolatedStore APIs), the filesystem is mounted at the root of the webserver. Note that if you navigate to //phone_ip/, you will not see anything, as we are not able to list the contents of the root directory.
I am working to create a real socket library that mimics System.Net/.Sockets, and System.IO for file access. TcpClient and TcpListener are in a mostly functional state already.
I'll add in registry and other capabilities once those two components are stable.
Most of the code came from jmorrill.

I'm thinking we could do with somewhere to place an open-source collection of homebrew apps.
Also, with the Chevron WP7 unlocker, you might want to include the version with the sideload limit removed

I will ask the maker of the regviewer.

What to you mean by not possible ?
The source contains multiple project:
- COM: Visual Studio 2008 C++ project using Windows Mobile 6 SDK
- Native : Visual Studio 2010 Solution containing the .Net / COM interface
- Registry Viewer: Visual studio 2010 Project containing the registry viewer app and also referencing Native project.
Everything works on my machine. You may need to fixe path to make it works on yours.

Sorry, most of the time when i rebuild a project all files are relative to the project, the references are not of course and i need to set the correct path. Could you give me a hint?
I download the 002 file. In this there is a native.zip. I unzipped it and got 2 folders:

WP7 Root Tools - Announcement: Coming to MANGO and to other devices: SAMSUNG, HTC, LG

Hi hackers!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
WP7 Root Tools will soon be available for Mango!
More info HERE
With this tool you get root-access to parts of your WP7 device. The first release only contains a registry-editor. The file-explorer and certificate stores will follow.
This tool is in alpha stage. That means that it is not feature complete and it is not yet properly tested. This tool also provides you with high privileges with which you can alter low level settings and data on this device. All this may result in unexpected and undesired behaviour, which may ultimately damage your device. Use this tool with care and use it at your own risk. The developer of this tool cannot be hold responsible for any kind of damages, caused directly or indirectly by using this tool.
The current version of this tool can only be used on Samsung devices. A small part of the code uses Samsung-specific functionality. The performance of the tool may sometimes be slow. This is the result of the way access to the system is elevated. The goal is to make this tool device-independent and to elevate access more directly in the future, but that requires more research.
To install this you need a developer-unlocked Windows Phone 7 device. For questions about unlocking your device, please refer to the appropriate threads.
If you have bug-reports or feature-requests, please give a full description.
If you like this, hit the "Thanks" and/or "Donate to me" button.
Ciao,
Heathcliff74
Update 2011/04/06:
1. Some people requested a possibility for donations. I opened a paypal-account and the "Donate to me" should work. Thanks!
2. I get an overwhelming amount of comments and pm's. I can't answer them all right now. I will try to answer them a bit later. Sorry.
Thanks for all the support guys!
Update 2011/04/13: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.2 alpha"
Consider this an "interim build". Most changes are under the hood. I did a lot of refactoring for performance improvements and paving the way for the file-explorer. This version does not include the file-explorer just yet. That will be the next release. Fixes in the new 0.2 alpha version:
- Compatible with light theme.
- Navigate out of the app with back-button.
- Due to refactoring and better use of the exploit I gained a lot of performance. It is very fast compared to the previous version. Should also reduce battery drain significantly.
Update 2011/04/14: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.3 alpha"
Mightyhog found a regression bug in the 0.2 version. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ was not listed properly. It is fixed in the 0.3 alpha version.
Update 2011/04/18: Info about known limitations
Yesterday I added some info here which, after more research, did not seem to be entirely correct. I misinterpreted some of the file-flags I was seeing. So here's some more detailed info about the know limitations of the current Registry Editor and the File Explorer which is coming soon. It seems that having TCB privileges still has some limitations on accessing the filesystem and the registry.
Some registry values can be changed but they are reset back to their default value after the device is restarted. One example of such value is:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\BattUserIdle DWord 300
Possible explanations:
- The value is stored in a ROM registry hive. The change is made in RAM and after the device is restarted and RAM is cleared, the value is read from ROM.
- In the boot sequence of the device some xml-files which contain settings, are provisioned and overwrite changes made to the registry.
- A certain service or startup-program simply overwrites settings on system-startup.
I'm working on the File Explorer now. While testing I found out that eventhough I have TCB privileges some access is still restricted, because system-files are mapped directly in ROM. There are 2 file-flags that have impact on this:
- 0x0040 = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_INROM - This file is an OS file stored in ROM. Most files in the \Windows folder have this attribute. These files cannot be moved, modified, renamed or removed. Only a firmware update can change these files.
- 0x2000 = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ROMMODULE - The exe- and dll-files in the \Windows folder also have this flag set. These ROM files are mapped directly into executable read-only address-space, rather than being first copied to RAM. They cannot even be accessed as a file. They can only be executed. And therefore these files also can't be copied to another location, ie. we don't even have read-access on these files. However, I may have found a way to access these files anyway. This needs a bit more research, but I hope that I can at least copy the files to a location where they can be accessed.
Everything else seems to be possible. Creating files in the \Windows folder is no problem. I hope to be able to release a version with a File Explorer soon. I guess it will be in about two weeks or something. Bear with me.
Update 2011/04/19: No luck on reading the ROM modules
I did more testing. I wanted to have at least read-access to the exe- and dll-files in the \Windows folder. As it is not possible to call CreateFile() on those files, I tried LoadLibrary(). That works. With CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(), Module32First() and Module32Next() I can enumerate the modules and find the one I loaded. I also get a baseaddress and size of the module. The problem is that I can't access that memory. I tried direct-access and I tried using ReadProcessMemory(). ReadProcessMemory() returns "Incorrect parameter" as soon as I try to access the ROM memory. Also using VirtualProctect() to unlock the memory gives me "Incorrect parameter" all the time. So it seems we won't have read-access to the exe- and dll-files in the \Windows folder for now. I will now concentrate on other functionality for the File Browser. I will try to get access to the ROM modules later on.
Update 2011/06/14: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.4 alpha"
It has taken me a long time, here's a new release, finally. Actually this release is not very useful yet, because the file-explorer is read-only so far. The "Cut / Copy / Paste / Delete / Rename" will follow soon. The browsing part has been extremely difficult. The main problem was the performance. Opening a folder could take up to 4 minutes. Ouch! Through a combination of multi-threading techniques, caching and combining multiple exploits I finally got this to a stable solution where browsing can be done in quite an acceptable way. The write actions don't have these performance issues, because it is not a real problem when copying a file will take a few seconds more or less. I already started on implementing this. This release also has a few minor fixes to the Registry editor, but no new functionality. I also did a lot of testing on the certificate stores. I got full read / write access to all the stores, but none of that is implemented in the WP7 Root Tools yet. That will be next.
Update 2011/06/24: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.5 alpha"
In this version I implemented the basic file-operations and a certificate installer.
You might wonder why I created a certificate installer, because it is already possible to add certificates. When you email a certificate to yourself and tap that attachment, WP7 will install it. But if you install like this, the certificate will always be installed in the "Root" certificate store. With my certificate installer you can also install in "CA", "My" and "Code Integrity" stores. This may be very useful for hacking attempts. You can install a certificate by browsing to the ".cer" file and tap it. The possibilities for getting a certificate file on your phone will follow below. If you start installing certificates on your phone you should consider making backups in advance. I once experienced Zune going totally bezerk after installing certs. Zune took 100% and lost connection with the phone all the time. Everything was back to normal when I deleted the certs. In this version there is no view on the certificate stores available yet. In a future version you will be able to view the contents of all the certificate store and also uninstall certificates from there.
I specifically mentioned that this version has basic file-operations, because not everything is implemented. This is what you can do:
- Cut / Copy / Paste / Delete / Rename single files
- Delete empty folders
- Create new folders
This is what you can't do (will be possible in later versions):
- Cut / Copy / Paste multiple files or entire folders
- Delete folders with content
- Rename folders
Last, but not least: I fixed some performance issues. Mainly memory-leaks in native code and in COM interop. I'm not sure if I got all leaks now, because it's not easy to do native C++ without debugger and profiler. But improvement is clearly noticeable.
This version does not have a connection with the PC. So it is not possible to use WP7 Root Tools to transfer files between the phone and the PC. You can however, use other tools to get files onto your phone and then use WP7 Root Tools to move the files to the desired location. WP7 Root Tools has write access on every folder of your phone.
How to transfer files to your phone:
Mail the file to yourself. Use your phone to go to your mailbox (not webmail). The attachment will be downloaded in the background. Then use WP7 Root Tools to navigate to \Application Data\Volatile\EmailAttachments\Attachments(number). You have to look which attachment is the one you want. The filename may be changed. The extension is the same.
Install Davux' webserver on your phone. Configure a password in that webserver. The IP of the phone is visible in the webserver app. Browse to the phone like this: http://192.168.1.2/IsolatedStorage using the IP of the phone. Upload a file to the phone. Open WP7 Root Tools 0.5 alpha. Navigate to this folder: \Applications\Data\9BFACECD-C655-4E5B-B024-1E6C2A7456AC\Data\IsolatedStore\. There's your file. You can copy it to another location if you want.
Use the Zune storage hack, described here and here. If you copied the files to your phone in this way, they will be located at \My Documents\Zune\Content in one of the subfolders. Again, the files here are renamed. You have to find the file you want and then rename it.
Have fun!

very nice tool, needed a good registry editor for the samsung focus and this is perfect. thanks!

ur f-n awesome bro!

brilliant heathcliff

Very nice - works really well with the Focus.
Do you have any timeline for the file browser part? I'd love to see functionality that can copy files on and off the system folders.
Thanks for the tool!

EXCELLENT WORK Heathcliff, finally a way to write to the parts of the registry that we wasnt able to before. NOW we are getting somewhere with the Focus!!

Nice! Looks pretty neat!

Live tiles on Samsung Focus work now!
This is exactly what I was looking for to accomplish the live tile fix on my Samsung Focus detailed on wmpoweruser.

Yes I have 'full' access to the filesystem. The are 2 exceptions I found so far, using my hack:
1. I don't have access to files that are in use by the system. So, driver-files that are currently used cannot be accessed. Not even read-access. Possible work-around: I want to try to make a kind of copy-on-boot. I've already seen locations in the registry, where I can possibly add a startup-item that copies a file to a temporary location, when the file is not in use yet. But I have not tried that yet.
2. I can't overwrite or modify files that have the systemfile-flag. But I can copy the files, as long as they are not in use. Possible work-around: I have not tried all possibilities for changing file-flags. I might be able to do that.
I do have access through the entire file-system, including the \Windows folder and to the IsolatedStorage-folders of other apps. So that should give you a full file-explorer. Working on that now.

Well, there is not really a time-line yet. I wanted to finish the first release of this tool for a long time now. But I got some serious family issues. My grandpa died and my mother got a stroke and needed brain-surgery. Surgery went ok, but she needs rehabilitation right now. You can understand that I spent a lot of time with family over last weeks. I'm not sure how things will go. Situation with my mother looks promising. I visit her every other day now and it is a long ride. So that makes planning for this tool a bit difficult. But a lot of code that I made now is reusable for the other parts of WP7 Root Tools. So that should be a lot easier. I guess it won't take too long before I can add the file-explorer and certificate-stores. Just bear with me.

Hi Heathcliff74,
I hope everything goes well for your Family. The tool is one of kind, it's the first time that I see full Registry access on my Omnia 7. It looks very promising and I cannot wait for the File Explorer part. I hope you can add more features for both the registry and file explorer. Can you export the registry? Or that is not possible yet. Also, I would love to see a favorite’s option so we can add locations of the registry as favorites. We are very grateful to you for an excellent tool. Thanks.

Big thanks for the first alpha release ! Later this day I will do some tests and reply...

Thanks for the compliment. Importing and exporting registry keys is a feature that is not present yet, but it can be implemented for sure. Also a favorites option can be done. I'll put that on my ToDo-list.

Very good app. Hope to see quickly the file explorer feature !!!!
Take care of your family which is the most important .
Good luck!!!!

This is huge, I confirm it works on restricted Registry keys.
You are the best

Folders for Windows Phone [UPDATE 4/30/12]

Hey all!
New release! Time to clean up the thread a little~
The new release comes as a one-size-fits-all: rooted devices will receive the privileged features, otherwise simple Marketplace searching will be used. Here's the features list:
Pin Folders onto your start screen
Full customization on what goes into what folder
One App Suits All: Install the XAP, which will automatically detect if the device has root privileges, and select the appropriate method for adding applications.
Non-rooted: Add from System or Marketplace, including OEM Marketplaces
Rooted: Pin folders to your start menu (experimental)
Adds one of the most requested features to Windows Phone devices
The region can be changed when searching the Marketplace, too.
You can download it at the bottom of this page: http://windowsphonehacker.com/folders
Let me know of any bugs or feature requests. Thanks!

Thanks Jaxbot!
I'm on UK marketplace, seems to be working for "add system"
I added one folder "My Games" with just "Games" in it and pinned it. It worked.
I went back to the app, tried to edit the folder (doesn't always respond) and when I pressed "Add system" and cancelled it, the white frame still remained on top (should've been deleted). Pressing back, I got a toast notification with:
Well this is awkward
I didn't get any arguments...
[ok]
I'll try to make a video.

Confirmed, I'm adding the other markets soon.
Same goes with Nokia, I'll see about adding OEM markets, too.
Also, the popup is a dialog and doesn't behave like you would expect. I'm trying to smooth that out, but that's why that problem is happening. Thanks for the report.
(Also, there should be a little X on the box..try that)

Here is a small guide how to add apps, which you actually can´t find with the marketplace search function of the folder app, to an existing folder:
1. Download Windows Phone Power Tools from here: http://wptools.codeplex.com
2. Install and run it on your desktop
3. Go to "file browser"
4. Search for the guid of the folder app (a2e30887-7682-43cf-9a71-c20104b190fa)
Note: if you have installed the folder app with Windows Phone Power Tools you will find "Folders" instead of the guid
5. tap on the guid or on "Folders"
6. you will see a file type xxxx.folder (xxxx is the name of your before created folder)
7. Press "Get" button and save the file to your desktop or just use drag´n drop function
8. Open this file with the text editor and add the name, the guid and the iconname of the app you can´t find in the marketplace (just check the existing apps and you will see how to do that)
9. save the modified file
10. copy the xxxx.folder file together with the appicon (important: .jpg format) back to the device ("Put" button or just drag´n drop)
11. run Folders on you device and you will find the manually added app in your folder
12. pin the folder
Attached is an example of a self-created "Nokia" folder including the appicons, just copy, as descibed above, all files with Windows Phone Power Tools to the Isolated Storage of the folders app and voila you will see an Nokia folder...
Cheers

Thank you for the great app !
Is it possible to use .png files instead of .jpg ?
Copy .png files to the Applications\Install\....\Install\apps folder of your app doesn´t work if I create a folder manually...

Should be..might need to name them .jpg though, not sure. The images should be loaded as PNGs, though.

Anyway this isn´t so important atm because I have saved the images as .jpg.
I would like to upload a manually created folder with the most recent homebrew apps. Is this ok for you ?

I´m talking about a predifined homebrew apps folder.
Voice Memos Lite
Youtube Pro
Flashlight X
are Marketplace apps which you allready can find with the folder app...

love it, thanks for the update!

Ok, here is a predefined Homebrew folder. Copy all files as described earlier to the Isolated Store of the folder app...
Enjoy !

@Jaxbot:

I´m sure Jaxbot will update the app soon, so all regions and OEM´s will be supported.
In the meantime you can use the before posted method to complete your self-created folders as well as backup the created folder files. The backup possibility is important because sometimes the app crashes and all added apps disappear...

Great work jaxbot! Thanks!

Hi, I have used this method in my app, but for use this you must change a lot of things in the provxml, for example if you have this in your provxml value="1" you must write value=\"1\" also you must remove the space from > to the next <

[new Tutorial ] How to Copy FIles between Android to Windows Phone 10 or vice-versa

Android 4.4 Running in a emulator in windows phone 10512 build
so i made shortcuts to easily transfer data between Android File system to Windows Phone or vice versa
android 4.4 running in windows phone had following restrictions
Restrictions:
1)Bluetooth is not working in android apps
2)WiFi ,cellular data works only net using ,no hotspot or internet sharing
3)downloading from browsers failed ,so no direct downloads
4)if you copy files from WP to android, Sometimes reboot required in order to identified by apps
5)maximum android app in taskview will be limited to 7 or 8 ,it will increase depend upon app state and running
5)if try installing Gpps and inter-op unlock sometimes it will leads to slow phone charging for 1% it takes 10 minutes and Apps become slow in performances
all images are in Attachment read it and follow images for better understand
Remember that :-
**** in order to use shortcuts you need to deploy at-least one apk then only shortcuts will open (do remember after Reset) ****
**********This Doesn't Require any root and gapp installations,even with out these it work better**********
But if you root you can deploy unlimited Apks ,you can download vcFan s Root tool download link and Tutorialhere

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you want to install multiple apks from a folder from command-line ,place adb.exe,wconnect.exe ...etc (tools link)+all your apks in C:\Apps ,
open Admin command prompt,in command prompt type "cd/"
it will come to C:\ then type "cd APPS" ,it will become C:\Apps then
type "" wconnect.exe usb "" ,
connectphone through usb pair with code
use following command
Code:
for %f in (C:\APPS\*.apk) do adb install "%f"
you can download all three shortcuts here : All shortcuts Extract it open folder copy all three shortcuts to phone memory root
*********** For copy anything from android to wp and vice versa ,place two(first two Attachments) shortcuts at phone root
and
place wp shortcut at Android Filesystem for faster copying *************
These shortcuts doesn't open destination in ""copying path"" ,you need to click on just before folder(or available folder names ) or back button(depends on need of copying) on top bar of explorer to continue copying path .
All Android Folders resides in C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Aow :- AOW-shortcut
All Andoid app Data/Downloads/File Sytem are at C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Aow\mnt\shell\emulated\0 :--Android-FileSystem-shortcut
All windows phone File system at C:\Data\Users\public :-- WP_System-Root-shortcut
Both zip files contains a folder there you can find shortcuts, extract them in PC/Mobile using unzip software ,place them in file explorer start page
these shortcuts works from memory card too.these not work when you copy and moving through ,you need to click on before folder on top of explorer to continue
1)How to copy Android App Downloaded files(media files) to our wp file systems :-
Go to Android-file system
Images saved in android apps will be saved to DCIM folder but downloaded files saving depend upon app. for example
I just copy my face book saved images to our picture (wp) folder,
***Copying android to wp easier because in file explorer always had phone and sdcard icons on left adjacent bar ***
just directly click on Phone/SDcard icons on left vertical bar in File Explorer for faster pasting files see images below
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if you select copy from android folders just directly click on Phone/SDcard icons on left vertical bar in File Explorer for faster pasting files see images below
If you downloaded through other apps /download managers
search using magnifier button in our file explorer
Like for images *.jpg
For videos *.mp4 ..etc
You can Game files patches too,
Copying Files From Windows Phone to Android :-
place files that you want copy files to phone Documents folder use Start-copy_WPDocuments.zip to start copy
Here little bit difficulty because you need to go to main OS(c ) folder and there you need start copying
First Download this shortcut Download extract-WP-system_Root.zip and extract shortcut file to Phone memory root.
open the the shortcut ,it will go to pictures folder It will goes to pictures folder then on top click on public then normal file system will appear
For example if you want to move photos from cameraroll
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copy files then click on pictures folder on top of explorer, then Again click on Users(important step)
Then click on DefApps
Then click \APPDATA like wise \Local\Aow\mnt\shell\emulated\0
Here if you are saving images save to DCIM folder further we use to share in different apps
click tick mark to copy
Like this you can move files between Windows Phone to Android or vice versa
check below images for better understand
APP Details :-
if you want to play videos in Android app ÄLLplayer working fine and sometimes require reboot to load media files in player ,if you download you-tube videos it search for subtitles so rename it to avoid subtitles searching Linksee Allplayer in action on wp in below images
Facebook 43 and messengers working super fast
Download links :-
ES File Explorer 4.01 beta : link
AllPlayer:- link
if you are using Droid4x deploy controller apk here and use as remote for pc gaming if you are connected on same network : link
Facebook link
messanger link

actually Total Aow is not a public folder so we can't access through any shortcuts.when you first open phone memory all are under public/ folder ,so all apps can access it.but we can open Aow folder because all android apps need to access through file explorer to save their app data.only solution is step by step copy-path by clicking just before folder on the top of file explorer while copying wp <==> android FS
