Hi
The only reason why I want to buy an Andriod HTC is because Andriod boasts thousands of apps on the market (I don't want an IPhone).
I'd like to consider other phones such as WP7 and all the rest, but I'm reluctant to do so as I've been told IPhone and Andriod Market have thousands of apps. It's occured to me though that Windows 7 is simply a mobile version of the OS I'm using on this laptop right now, so theoreticaly I should have access hundreds of thousands of apps. Can someone enlighten me?
Thank you
Windows Phone 7 is not at all a mobile version of Windows 7, it's a completely different OS, a different way to think, different from computer OS, but also different from other mobile OS...
Sure, there are "only" 9,000 apps on the WP7 marketplace (personnally I would say there are already 9,000), don't forget that Windows Phone 7 was only released last september
So WP7 doesn't support Windows programs because they are not the same systems
If you want tons of apps, choose Android/iOS
If you want a great/smooth experience, and discovering apps while they are coming, choose WP7
Microsoft has denied my app from being published yet there are other apps like mine still in the store. I have asked what I did wrong and all I get is a snob response of:
Hello Robert,
The app was removed because it allows users to install apps on their device that bypass security measures on the Windows Phone Store. The app will not be restored, so you may not submit updates. This is our final communication regarding this issue.
Thank you,
Windows Phone Store Team

So instead of trying to fight Microsoft I am posting my SOURCE CODE and I am jumping from Windows Phone Development and moving to Android. Yes I was a Windows Fan but now I am finished forever with Microsoft.
My source code if you want to use it is found here on my skydrive - http://sdrv.ms/16hCWRz
Thanks!!
Version 2 Submitted for Cetification
I have submitted V2 update on both apps (NOKIA APP UPDATES & SAMSUNG APP UPDATES)
Samsung V2 change log is:
Update 2.0.1.0
In light theme the background was not displayed correctly. This update fixes that issue.
____________________
In Nokia V2 change log is:
Update 2.0.0.0
I would like to thank my friend RAM for helping me with this upgrade.
Redesigned app from the App Studio Beta into C# Language.
When you click on link IE will not open, instead it goes directly to the store download.
Added AppBar at the bottom.
In AppBar, rate link goes directly to the rate app review, now able to share link, added e-mail link direct to me if any issues or letting me know about an app that needs adding, link to my other apps for download.
________________________________________________________________
Again these versions have just been submitted and both are in the certification stage. It will take a bit before the new version will show up so please be patient with me.
Thanks HERG62123 :fingers-crossed:
The pictures below are from V2 which is being certified.
Nokia App Updates V2 now posted in the link in Post #1.

Nokia App Updates V2.0.1.0 - added Connectivity Pro+ and Unit Converter Pro+
Samsung App Updates V2.0.1.0 - In the light theme background was not set correctly so this update fixes that issue.

Added a donate link if user wants to donate but not in away to upset user
Made buttons smaller due to accidental opening while flipping
I am using it in my nokia 920 and it has scrolling issue. means it does not scroll at all. instead it opens the app that i do not want to when trying to scroll. so actually instead of scrolling up or down it pushes the spot where i want to scroll up or down and the app that is in there opens.

Microsoft pulled my app - here is their response to me
"The app was removed because it allows users to install apps on their device that bypass security measures on the Windows Phone Store. The app will not be restored, so you may not submit updates. This is our final communication regarding this issue.

As you can see Microsoft has no bed side manners.
Planning on uploading the xap then?

I think about security issues for Windows phone is too much.
1. I cannot use any other keyboard directly writing in SMS or anything. I have to copy paste.
2. Call recorder is not supported as well in WP 8 as this is also security issue.
3. What else is security issue I wonder ?
4. No video transfer in Viber. I think at least this should not be security issue.
Everything is security issue in WP 8. Why Microsoft does not think that people will abandon the OS ? there are too much security issues, I did not know about it before buying my Nokia Lumia 920 developer edition. To tell the truth i keep my phone because it is Nokia not because of OS at all but soon most likely my WP will be second device and I will go back to Android and buy HTC again, great UI and fast and now they update more frequantely.
New Version being CERTIFIED NOW
Link to new version is in the code box in post one, but beware it is still being certified still

But they say Windows phone is the future how come you go to Android ? Also if windows phone has security measures, what is that security measures that you do not want to except before you app is published ? I hear about WP lot of things related to security, this is very strange for me. Even phone call recorder is security related, then keyboard app other than Microsoft to type directly in the SMS is not implemented too. And many other that keep developer away somehow. How come ? GDR 3 is coming soon and maybe some changes will be there with their policy too ?

If you look at the swype keyboard for android it actually stores what you type and sends info back to the manufacturer.
A third party KBD on the phone would mean that KBD app could harvest your passwords and send them on to a destination of choice.
Similar issues exist with the call recorder. Who should have access to those recordings? You? Google? Rovio? NSA?
So yes, your app got booted because you don't grok the security implications of what you're trying to do, and in stead of trying to understand why you just blame the OS.
Please, go develop for Android, and I hope you make tons of money in the process. Just quit being a whining little girl about it.

Hey, the source of your app has disappeared. Can you put it back up? I could really use it for my next version of my app for carrier apps.
Hi,
I'm a student from Brazil, and I'm entering in the android security area.
I'm going to do my graduation work in android security, and I'm looking for good topics or themes to talk about.
I choose 4 titles as options, but don't know if they're good enough and "hot topics". Can you tell me what you guys think?
1) Analysis of the security applied to Android
2) Revision of today's forensic methods to mobile focused on Android
3) Data exposition: analysis of the security flaws in Android
4) Exploit and malware analysis for Android.
And, if you let-me ask more, can you send-me some hot topics about android security?
Thank you very much.
Dear XDA,
just looking for a friendly discussion here. With Android O dev preview, it has blocked apps from drawing on the UI due to a security issue. But to my knowledge it just forces a system wide notification with the ability to turn off the ui elements, and gives the option to allow ui drawing (hiding the notification) per app and if the apps use the newer API can show up as a trusted app. But so many tech articles says otherwise. Are these really a big security loop hole in your opinion? Like for example after the nougat update, os monitor stopped working and the dev stopped support due to a security patch. So I am wondering if android is really getting more closed to security updates or is this just articles fear mongering? I mean I am all up for security and lucky for me all my apps such as emulators, settings, tools, linux containers and such so far I have not needed to root at all and it has really helped me since I use mobile payment on my s7 edge. I do dabble into rooting on my nexus 7 but rooting hasn't been mandatory, unless ofcourse most of my app breaks because of android updates, then I would have to root. So is android really becoming more closed or are these security updates actually required??
Microsoft has made it possible for users to run Android applications in Windows 11. For the user base, this means that customers may now download and utilize apps not only on their smartphones but also on the enormous screen of their Windows 11 desktop computer.
When it comes to running Android apps on Windows 11, Microsoft has implemented a sophisticated framework to make this feasible. This is referred to as WSA, which is an abbreviation for Windows Subsystem for Android.
As previously said, the technology that underpins the operation of Android applications is extremely sophisticated, and there is a good probability that you will encounter problems such as apps not working on Windows 11.
Before you waste your time checking app for app for its compatibilty take note that has been already done by guy riverar and results published on GitHub - last updated on Oct 24, 2021:
