Sorry in advance for the length of this post; I want to provide plenty of detail on the project I am working on regarding Project Astoria and the Windows 10 Mobile Emulator in hopes that someone will be able to assist me. Basically, I need a way to connect Astoria to the emulator. Here’s the context:
As many of you know, Astoria is the android emulator that allows android APK apps to be “converted” to Windows Mobile APPX files. It requires a desktop program and a phone running an android subsystem. Unfortunately, Microsoft removed the subsystem from the latest builds of Windows 10 Mobile, making Astoria impossible to use on these builds (throwing the infamous error 14).
There are several rumors floating around, though, that Windows 10 Mobile Emulator builds still have that subsystem, and that prompted me to ask: Can Project Astoria work with the emulator? I successfully installed the Astoria desktop application, the Windows Mobile SDK, and the Windows 10 Mobile Phone Emulator.
Astoria has two methods of communication with phones: it can either connect via USB or over Wi-Fi with an IP address. At first, it may seem silly to try and use USB to connect Astoria to the emulator, but recall that Hyper-V contains COM capabilities (though I am not sure how to configure them to link the emulator and the host PC like a USB cable would). Advice on this would be appreciated. Regarding the Wi-Fi option, the emulator does successfully connect to the internet. That said, the IP addresses provided by the Network tab of the Emulator Tools do not work with Astoria (error 6, the “cannot connect” error, is returned). It is also worth noting that the emulator does not show any connected Wi-Fi networks (Wi-Fi is disabled and cannot be enabled through the OS settings page). I am currently hosting the emulator on a PC that only has an Ethernet cable connection to the router. Could this be a contributing factor? Does anyone have an emulator with Wi-Fi enabled? I have attempted to add network switches in Hyper-V, but those efforts have not been fruitful.
In summary, I need either a method of connecting the emulator to Astoria over a simulated USB connection to my host computer OR an IP address (or, more specifically, a means of obtaining an IP address) that will link Astoria to the emulator directly.
I will keep everyone updated on how this project progresses, and again, any help you can offer would be much appreciated as I am relatively stuck at this point. Thanks for reading!
You'll need to connect two wireless adapter to the computer. One you will setup as an Access Point, the other will connect to that Access Point. This *should* be a direct network connection between the pc and emulator, IF it works.
I can't guarantee anything as I've never used the emulator, nor this method of connection. You may have an issue with the computer not connecting to it's *own* network because of IP address conflicts (having the same IP as the host), but maybe that won't happen. If it successfully connects to it's own network then try to connect the emulator to the Access Point. (I don't have any idea how the emulator configuration works, but I have to imagine that you can set which connections it uses?) Like I said I'm not guaranteeing anything.
Alternatively, and more realistically, IF you have a wireless router, leave the Ethernet connected, plug in a wireless adapter and connect to your wireless network. Again, there may be an IP address conflict here as well.
Good luck

Hi,
I would like to find out if it is possible connect my HTC EVO to a VPN server running Windows 2008 through L2TP/IPSec with certificates? If this is possible, how would i go about issuing a machine certificate to the EVO? Any feed back is appreciated.
How far have you gotten so far?
My vpn works fine (thru cisco) and I can connect to both, windows and linux servers
My EVO seems to connect via PPTP, and my windows client can connect to my VPN using L2TP/IPsec with certificate without issue. But I am still stuck with not knowing how to issue machine certificates to my EVO!
I've asked the same question on Microsoft Technet and had a suggestion on trying enrolling certificate using Network Device Enrollment Service (NDES) on Windows 2008. But I am not aware of a Android device administration software that will allow me to generate a RSA publich/private key pair and submit it to my CA to generate the certificate.
hello forum,
i wonder if there is WP7 APIs that are able to communicate with the host via the USB connection. i wish to write an WP7 app that can exchange data in realtime with an app running in the host PC.
thanks !
- lt
you can use network connection over usb to communicate between your pc and your wp7
just run WPConnect (i dont remember now if it is also possible with Zune)
the IP of your PC will be 192.168.55.100
and the IP of your WP7 will be 192.168.55.101
but you can only call a service from your WP7 (atm its not possible to run WP7 as a server)
so just create a service on your PC and use it from your WP7
mango is going to allow socket programming.. so this would be the better solution

Hi,
I'm stuck for a while without internet access except via 3G. I've got a dev phone running the Mango beta 2.
I was wondering if anyone had an idea about how I could make a proxy server or any other kind of tethering for it.
I was looking to use HttpListener or Sockets.Listen but both are unavailable for the phone.
I thought I might have to make a server application for the laptop that has a proxy server listening port and a phone listening port then have an application on the phone that connects to the server app. Once established, pass requests on from the laptop app to the phone app and get the phone to do the requests.
Unfortunately, my knowledge of how to do this over sockets is limited and if anyone could give me some advice I'd be grateful.
Cheers
Depending on which phone you have it might be possible to switch into teethering mode in the MFG app (usually installed by dialing ##634#).
HTC 7 Trophy .. I'm not aware of a way to use tethering on that.

Do you have a old Windows mobile 6.5 device sitting around ? Then for the temp window you need it, switch ESN/SIM to your 6.5 device, wi-fi teather, then swap back ESN/SIM when you need it...
Depending on your carrier....I know with Verizon, I can change hardware on-line
I'm unaware of how the network stack works in WP7.
If you're connected to WiFi, in your application can you choose to use 3G or WiFi? Maybe there are some P/Invoke calls you could do?
If so, then connect your phone to a router ... same with your laptop. Then relay HTTP(S) between the two connections.
Otherwise, we'll need to be able to execute native applications.
Does anyone know of a VNC app that - or any kind of "control my android phone from my PC" that:
1. is NOT Android Screencast
2. WORKS on the CDMA Galaxy Nexus
All the apps I've tried on the market thus far (e.g. droid vnc server) don't work - I think Verizon does something to prevent the IP address from being available to the app, so it reports the IP v6 MAC address and I can't connect to the phone.
Any solution (wired or wireless) would be fine, just one that works well (and is preferably free).
Hey, I'm in the same boat as you, i want to VNC onto my phone from my work PC as it makes my office life so much easier (did this on my iPhone for a couple of years)
I've managed to connect to my Galaxy Nexus GSM via LAN IP fine (IPV6 shows but used IPV4 IP instead from wireless settings) evem though i connected, the screen is blank and i can click but not type so looks like it needs some TLC on the developing side before it'll work :-(
Now for a remote IP you could try whatismyip.com or some simular site but i'm pretty sure most phon operators keep you on an internal network and route you out to the internegt, therefore meaning that you dont have any ports coming into your phone from the internet and therefore can't run any internet services, it has to be connection from your phone to a server not from PC/server on internet to your phone on internet.
I know however that back about 8 years ago i did get a windows mobile http server working, but think it's all changed since then..
Only exception to this would be if your phone was on wifi as you could setup a port forward from the router.
Maybe if TeamViewer made a version which allowed control of the phone, then you'd be able to do what you need.
Regards
Liam
Our VNC Server, VMLite VNC Server, works just find on Galaxy Nexus.
You can use USB connection, or reverse connection to connect if your phone's ip is blocked. i.e., you run tight vnc viwer in listening mode, you run the vnc server on the phone in reverse mode, so the vnc server will connect to the viewer.
Our app actually works w/o rooting.

The new teamviewer client will be your answer... just wait till its ported correctly to your rom
Are you sure? I thought team viewer is to view PC from android phones, instead of viewing phones from PC, i.e., different direction.

My work uses a specific VPN setup for use. How can I setup VPN to their servers on my Surface RT? Are any clients able to run on RT?
Thanks.
On non-jailbroken RT, there are only two options I know of for VPN access:
1) Use the built-in Microsoft VPN capability. This is accessed the same way as on other Windows machines. It won't work with most third-party VPN servers, though.
2) Use a device that is able to access the VPN and then share a WiFi network from that device, exposing the VPN via connection sharing. This is likely against company policy, though, since in that case anybody who can see that WiFi network can get into the VPN as well (if they have / can guess / can crack the password).

Thanks ! Did not think about the connection sharing thing....
I don't know for home the RT was made, since iOS and Android have more functionality than RT. I may end up selling my RT...... :crying:
Depends how you define "more functionality" - I mean, neither iOS nor Android have a built-in VPN feature, for example, as far as I know. They most certainly didn't at less than 1.5 years since release. However, it is true that both of them eventually added support for third-party VPNs (Android had unofficial support via rooting the device earlier, which is sort-of possible on RT if anybody bothered to port VPN clients to jailbroken RT) and RT does not have any such official support yet.
With that said, yeah, Microsoft markets RT as a home-and-student thing, not a business thing (the first version didn't have Outlook, for example).
