Port a WM app?

[Omega Ra]

I was wondering if anyone would know how to port an old WM app to WP7.5 it is ShopAid, from Maximus Mobile. I don't know how to decompile it. Just Decompile From Telerik doesn't lok at .cab files. I don't know if the original dev is still on this site, but if theis could be ported to WP and metro-fied that would be great.

why don't you try one of the (free) regular WP7 applications from the marketplace? There's quite a bunch of them, look here.

I would still love this if this was possable, to inport a cab file into a project....

You'll need to find another app because decompiling a Windows Mobile app is just not going to happen. It would be easier just to write the app from scratch.

The main reason I liked this one is you can put a lot of info on an item. Such as what store, the aisle it was found in etc. This way I can organize my list by the store and aisle so I know exactly what I need from what aisle and i can get it done faster

Try to configure a general-purpose database app?

There are now a number of general-purpose database apps in the Marketplace now (named "Database", "My Database", or similar) that allow you to freely specify the structure of your database, i.e. the fields, their order, their types and lengths, etc. You could then "put a lot of info on an item", in fact as much as you configure.

Maybe you could use one of those database apps to build your very own dream shopping list "app" yourself?

Only thing I want from Windows Mobile besides TomTom navi (I like tomtom a lot better than garmin) is the simple UNO game. It was a quick, small and single player, just like when people play solatare.

This is a possibility. I will check it out. I just liked this app on my Omnia 2 and figured I would throw it out there.

..... They ported over opera mobile and opera mini, why not any other apps?

I'd keep an eye on the WML project by DFT though.

Yea, a project that they only said something months ago(look at the date of it, back in feb), and never showed anything else... I would love to see NEW news on this. I even posted looking for new info a while ago....

Not sure if they ported over Opera or Mini, they re-created them.
