I would like to give my Windows Phone app a different name on the phone and in the Store (DisplayName should be "blah" and store name should be something like "blah - stuff the app does") but I can't find a way to do that.
I tried to use language resource DLL (as explained here) but I don't understand how I could give a different store name with this technique.
So, basically, the question is : how does Microsoft choose the name to put in the store? Is it the DisplayName of the app or not?
Before the publish app on the dev center, You have to reserve unique app name. You will create app info. So basically, Microsoft does not choose app name. You choose. After that if you change application display name from Package.appxmanifest file, Store name and display name on the phone will be different.
My windows phone 8 app have to be published in English and Arabic versions. I have created the resource strings in default language that is en-US and then have created the translations by "MultilingualAppToolkit" that generated the ar-SA files.
I changed the phone language and restarted the phone and experienced a strange scenario :
App bar orientation and messages are in arabic but screen flow and strings are in english.
Another question is i have to give user the option to change the language regardless of the phone language. so how can i change the language settings on application initialization.

I have developed an app for windows phone in windows phone 7.Everything is fine in windows phone 7.
But when i upgraded it for windows phone 8,I found that the listbox of images is not showing in a page.After debugging
I found that media library is returning null,thats why listbox of images not showing any images
After searching over internet I found that for accessing media library images we have to first open windows phone's native photo app(native pictures).So I did it ,windows phone 8 emulator.Now it is working,but every time I have to open this native photo app,then I have to open my app,then only its working..Actually I dont have windows phone device,I just installed windows phone 8 sdk and tested it..
So my question is,Is there any way to directly access the media library with out opening native photo app,so that user dont have to open his native app every time before opening my app
You don't have to worry, that problem won't affect Windows Phone 8 devices, it only concerns the emulator.
Here's how I access media library's album and pictures:
