Hi everyone,
So I've got my Lumia 920, and I want to start developping some stuff... I registered to a developper account.
I'm working on Windows 7 (x64) computer, using Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone 2010.
WP8 SDK CANNOT be installed on a Windows 7 machine. So, no problem, I'll try with WP 7.1 applications.
The problem is:
- Zune CANNOT detect the lumia 920 on Windows 7 machine (maybe neither on a Windows 8 machine)
- Visual Studio NEEDS Zune to detect my phone in order to deploy application.
So basically, I just can't deploy anything on my phone on windows 7 can I ?

Yeah you're pretty much not able to do it. You can install Windows 8 as dual boot or in a VHD and do it that way. I don't think you can do it in a virtual machine because WP8 SDK requires to be installed on Windows 8 as the host OS in a Hyper-V environment. Easiest way to do it though is just to upgrade to Windows 8.

Thanks for the answer, that's what I thought... no real workaround then..
I'm using my work's computer, so I don't really have OS's choice (and having a W8 virtual machine running on it is not something I can consider)..
That's a shame though, that after buying a Lumia, buying a developper account, having a computer on Windows 7 I'm still unable to develop the way I want.. Anyway, nothing more to do except complain
I guess I'll just be coding at home.
You CAN deploy apps to WP8 on Windows 7 if you install Windows 8 as virtual machine. I have done this myself using VMWare Workstation.
Obviously, your PC have to support Hyper-V.
P.S.: You need to switch to "Exclusive mode" in the virtual machine and then Windows 8 will detect your USB connection.

That's good to know thanks !
Though I'm not sure my company would let me run a Windows 8 with my own licence on a VM. But maybe I'll find a way, thanks for the tip !
I can't get Internet Pass Through to work with Windows 8.1 x64. I've installed the latest HTC Sync 3.3.36, but it didn't recognize the phone. I then installed the Windows 8.1 drivers from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714921
That made it recognize the phone and install an HTC Remote NDIS based Device. That makes the Internet Pass Through setting on the phone show the arrow icons for data in the notification bar, but the phone still isn't seeing the PC's internet connection.
Has anyone managed to get this to work in Windows 8.1? What's the trick?
I am trying to cook my first custom rom for HTC Explorer (pico) on Ubuntu 14.04. My problem is, my Ubuntu laptop doesn't connect properly to my wifi but Windows pc does. Is there any way to download liquidsmooth sources on my windows 7 computer and then move those source folders to my Ubuntu laptop? And probably without a virtual machine.. Thanks!

I want to install Ubuntu with Windows 10 as dual-boot ?
Is it possible to do it or its a complex process?
I got recently a book about Android System Programming because I have interests in it. Now this could be a noob question (I just hope I don't get banned or kicked), but is there any way to get the source code directly on Windows 10 than Ubuntu? I mean, I don't want to ruin the Wi-Fi Adapter for Windows 10 again because it requires custom drivers that I already hate (need LAN instead of dumb Wi-Fi Adapters). Those custom drivers cannot be installed on Ubuntu so if I need Internet on Ubuntu, I need to connect my phone to tether connection through USB.
Currently, I am dual-booting Ubuntu 20.10 with Windows 10 and I don't want to boot into Ubuntu unless I get a Wi-Fi Repeater that I can connect with LAN so that I don't ruin the connection on Windows 10 or connect the LAN directly with the router that I require at least 18 meters long LAN cable. Don't ask why...
There could be a way to download the AOSP on the Windows 10, but I really doubt that it won't work. But if there is a way then let me know the possibilities to download the AOSP on Windows 10.
