    I don't think it's compatible with M8, since it's not a WM phone.

    WM apps

    I have had some success in getting Windows Mobile apps to install and run on the Meizu by editing the Cab file using WinCE Cabinet Editor (google it). It is not a freeware package, but will allow you to use it for 30 days on a trial basis.

    Most WM cab files were compressed and had to be uncompressed. This is a relatively simple change to make in the cab editor. Just uncheck the compressed box and save the file.

    You can also change the registry settings and install locations if needed.

    Good luck!

    Tutorial

    I do not have a tutorial as all changes will be different for each progam. I also had to use Resource Editor to change the resolution on some of the files. The WinCE program I found on this site somewhere. The programs I have modified so far are SiriusWM5, ViewCommander Mobile, and CorePlayer. While all installed and work, there are still problems with the text and buttons on some. They are so small, it is hard to use the program.

    I am still working on some, but my 30 day evaluation is expiring soon. I may have to break down and shell out the 100 bucks.

    Ouch, $100 is a steep price for a piece of software. Maybe there is a open source alternative?

    as a winmo user and enthusiast to meizu I really wouldn't mind the tutorial. It would mean that I can use some m8 programs on my phone too. It would actually be a fantastic help

    ^ what type of machine do you have?
    also, once again there is the problem that the converting would bring the loss of fluidity in the game
    While all installed and work, there are still problems with the text and buttons on some. They are so small, it is hard to use the program.
    THATS the problem. even if it does work well...
