How to connect Nokia lumia 925 denim os as mass storage in windows 8 or mac os, so i could explore root folder, I basically need this for copying app data?
I ve tried the Guide "Put the phone in mass storage mode" mentioned in Mass_storage_mode_and_boot_configuration_data
But it ain't work in my device, it is just restarting normally.
Normally you can only browse shared folders such as Documents, Pictures, Music and Videos.
However there's a tool which allows to locate and fetch files inside IsolatedStorage, have a look at the Codeplex page: https://isostorespy.codeplex.com/

I'm developping an application with Cordova targeted for Windows phone 8.
I'm able to build a De bug or Release Xap for windows phone and deploy it on device using usual tools. The matter is that my clients want to test it too but they don't have any of sdk tools (only a device).
What is the better solution to do that ?
Installing Xap file from sd card or phone storage doesn't work (company issue message). Sign xap with sdk tools for testing and then retry to install it from sdcard doesn't work.
Is the beta test store the only solution ? (Very long procedure)
Ty fort any tips...
The easiest way is just to create a beta and send them a download link. It's done in less then 5 minutes and you can update the app quickly, publish it again and retest it within minutes.
About 1 month ago, I see my app (xap file) hacked and published on too many sites that distribute XAP for windows phone 8, if you download the XAP from windows store, you can't unzip it's content, but When I download the xap from hacked sites, I can unzip and refactor the code! and the app bypass windows store then the user can use it without paying its price!
When I started WP8 dev. I heard that WP7 can be hacked but WP8 cannot!,
Its too frustrating, is WP8 hacked now?
Thanks
Yes, there were a couple of older (non-Nokia) Windows Phone 8 devices that were rooted. I think one was one of the older Samsung phones. Anyways, because they rooted it, you are able to copy the contents of the XAP files from a device unencrypted and view their contents. It sucks but there is not a lot that can be done about it.
The good news is a) You can only install these XAPs on other rooted or developer-unlocked phones, and b) all Windows Phone 8 devices will be upgraded to Windows Phone 8.1 this year, which uses a new packaging format (mitigating the issue somewhat).

In TideKit:
How large is the smallest offline executable you can create for Windows respectively Mac including running HTML content in a web view? Other solutions like NodeWebKit include a portable Chromium, which makes the minimum package at least 25 MB.
What does the legacy support look like for Windows respectively Mac. What OS versions does it support for offline executables using web view for running HTML content?
Tidekit offers options to build and package apps that affect the size of the runtime. First, TideKit will bundle only what it needs to keep the size of the runtime as small as possible. Builds allow you to optimize based on the requirements of your application, the platforms you wish to support, or to prioritize for things such as App Store compliance. Besides your code and our runtime, the resources you include contribute to the total size.
Packaging can involve bundling the runtime in the app or packaging
the app with an installer that will only download a runtime when is
not available on the host. Our runtimes are dynamic. The lightest
scenario is network packaging with an installer that is
auto-generated for you. Hello World can be bytes + the installer
size. So perhaps 1 - 2 MB. In this scenario the host is checked for
a runtime. If one is found, it will be checked for requirements of
the app. If it has what it needs, there is nothing more. If the
runtime on the host needs something it does not have, it will fetch
it during the install. If there is no runtime, it is fetched during the install.
Bundle installs include the runtime within the app and will make for larger apps. That size will depend on what you are using. Application bundles could be as low as 15MB range for size. We'll be able to provide more specifics as we reach our release.
TideKit supports the following OS's on the desktop but supports web and mobile OS's so you can develop your app once and deploy for mobile, web, and desktop.
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8
OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard
OSX 10.7 Lion
OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion
OSX 10.9 Mavericks
Ubuntu 12.04
Ubuntu 12.11
Ubuntu 13.04
I'd like to explore the system files of some apps I've installed, but the program files aren't accessible when you plug in Windows Phone 8 via USB. I only see music, videos, ringtones, that kind of stuff.
Is there a way to view and edit the contents of the program files?
Is is possible to have a bootable development environment for Monodevelop, just from a bootable USB. I am planning to test developing in MonoDevelop from a USB bootable version of Linuxmint 14.1 (Cinnamon). I don't want to invest in a virtual machine yet on my Dev pc.
If you have a pretty decent configuration on your laptop or PC and your BIOS supports booting from a USB Pen drive, then yes, you can burn an ISO to your USB Pen drive and start working with it. You can open with all applications seamlessly. For example, you can browse the web with Firefox, pass commands such as "apt-get ..." in the terminal, etc. I recently did the same thing by burning a Linux Mint 14.1 ISO on my 16GB Pen Drive. My machine had the below configuration:
(~4GB-RAM + 2.6GHZ-DUAL-CORE-CPU + ~300GB-HDD)
To format the pen-drive, you can issue this command from a linux terminal:
dd if=/home/PATH_TO_ISO/LinuxMint.iso of=/dev/sda bs=1M
Replace the path next to "if=" with the path to your ISO image, and the one next to "of=" with the device path of your USB pendrive.
My advice is not to make the LiveOS persistent. USB Pendrive is good enough to boot a system and start it, but if the OS starts saving data on it, you will be hit by performance degrade. After all, USB2 has some speed limitations. Rather, I advice you to save your work (your monodevelop solutions, projects, etc.) on an existing NTFS/EXT4 partition on your machine itself. This way you will enjoy a good performance, while also being able to boot from your Pen drive.
Cheers.
