windows on pocketpc? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

hi
is there any way one can install lets say win95 or 98 on our 520MHz xda2i??
just wanting to know.. (i know the phone part of ppc will be gone)

I dont think so, but you can run windows 3.11

No way; the PPCs use XScale CPUs which are not x86-compatible.

Are you suggesting win 3.1 could run on xda under dos emulation?

yes actually you can. but not without some know how.
you need a copy of bochs (pronounced 'box') compiled for the pocketpc (from here: http://mamaich.kasone.com/ppc/bochs-2.1.1.rar)
you also need Nyditot Virtual Display (http://www.nyditot.com/)
the best place for you to get started is this thread - http://www.pocketgamer.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3660
read it ALL

If i can remember, about a month ago, i saw a qtek with win 95 on it !! I read also how he did it but i can't remember..

ipaq 4150 with wm2005!!! can it be done????

hi i have a 4150 with wm2003. i downloaded the file from ur site and i want to know if i can update my device??
10x.
it can if somebody at hp or ms compile it to that platform and leak it
like happent with the 2005 for xda2's
roms unlike normal windows only have the specific drivers required by the device and if the hardware is not 100% the same then the rom dont work
kinda like trying to install macOSX on a pc

Vista on jasjar?

Hey.
I was wondering. I saw a vid on youtube, with vista, turned out to be remote desktop, but anyways, today i saw HTC Shift, which has lower specs, so, is it possible to install vista on JasJar (universal)?
Dont care if i cant call with it, i have an S710 i can use as phone.
Hope people can answer, beacuse i really need the info. Thx..
No No No ......
If you are interested you can use Windows 95 or 98 on your pocketpc thnx to Mamaich. Using Bochs emulator.
You can even try to run other versions like Windows 2000,who knows..if its in FAT32
Good luck ! and post here your results!
vista seems quite impossible.
proble a remote connection to a standalone vista pc ??
@unapproachable2kx; could you explain the boch way? i expect you need a linux system running on your universal to use boch? or is there a .cap file thing? i searched sf.org but didn't find a true awnser
Just read the oldest thread and you'll find the way

The only way to run Vista is to run it in side an emulator. You can try and might be able to boot vista in, lets say, a week? And the start menu might open after a minute of clicking it.
So in summary, it is doable and might provide good material for a youtube video but from a usability standpoint, it is senseless.

Well, but where can I get this great emulator? http://mamaich.kasone.com/ which is linked by all articles I've found, seems to be non-functional.

i've searched for dosbox and bochs
but can't find a .cab / ppc / wm file to use
all are released at .exe for windows or as a linux package

Google Android running on the hermes

On a whim I was browsing new posts on the xda forums. it seems that the guys over on the kaiser rom forum have gotten google android to boot on the kaiser. I thought hmmm... the hermes is like the kaiser, lets give it a try. So I installed the HaRET loader, got the 24mb cab file, and the latest zImage and installed it. Followed the instructions and got the hermes booting linux. I thought hey this is easy! next step, ditch WM and go with tux only. Whoops! not so fast. seems that linux won't load past the 'jump to kernel' part. I urge someone else to try this! You really need to install the cab from your sd card, and it eats up all your ram but hey its something new.
btw, use your hermes kb in the complete dark.. your eyes color shift and the buttons take on a red hue. weird. also the forum looks like crap on my hermes. isn't that ironic?

Booting Google Android
1. Goto: Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Android.
2. Pres: Listen for network connection. Meanwhile also press run (Doing this makes Android boot most of the time).
3. Google Android is now booting or you're Kaise freezes.
4. Have fun or Soft-Reset!
If Android Is Not Booting?!?!? (Even after 20 tries). Run ClearTemp... http://www.4shared.com/file/50007273...ClearTemp.html Then Boot again!!
Menu
At this moment there is no back key mapped. So the only way to get out of the menu is by soft-reset. Ppl are working on this issue, tyring to map de back key.

You are probably using the original zImage of SH4Y'S CAB. Use one of the latest zImages...

All I did was download the files, install the cab, and run HaRET and try to boot. I get the "booting linux" screen and then the linux "boot list" but then it hangs. I'll post a few pictures. My rom doesn't have a screenshot grabber, plus I don't think you can get a screenshot when you aren't even running WM?
Click Here for a way to create a fresh kernel (zImage.bin) which is possibly the fix for the hermes.
Click Here for images of Android running on a TyTN II.
EDIT: Ok so I know why its hanging on the loader... The kernel is compiled for the wrong processor. The vogue uses a different processor than the hermes. Working on this.

The phone power, reset and AT CMD serial port settings are missing
in the hh.org CVS kernel. It's not very difficult to do, but nobody
has done it so far.
Interesting...Here's the original hermes discussion thread on linux (over 100 posts):

Looks very cool, but I guess a long way before it will work with all hardware like, radio, wifi, bt etc?
Perhaps I hang on to my Hermes for a while to run Android!

Honestly I was thinking of jumping ships to either an iphone or a clone but I think I may wait a year and see what happens to the hermes with android. It would be nice to get it and play with it for a while so in a year I will know exactly what I want to buy and the market will have settled down a little bit.
I have compiled new zImage and HaRET. In default.txt I have lines:
Code:
set kernel zImage
set initrd initrd-android
set cmdline "root=/dev/ram0"
boot
I loaded newest initrd-android from http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/
With these settings Hermes boots and it even set system clock (2028-07-05 10:40:21 ) but hangs after that, HaRet says in last line: "Freeing init memory 88k" and thats it. The initrd-android is not for Hermes and I don`t know how to make new one for Hermes. Or is this memory freeing thing more about problems with zImage?
Did you compiled it with the HTC HERMES flag?
Maybe you can upload the zimage/Harret to your post? sow more people can play with it... would be cool.
I also tried to compile a new zimage...it compiled, but it stucked at booting it with Harret. "Load kernel image" (or something like that)
Here it is. I used branch "work" and from there you can found htchermes_defconfig.
Thx..
I have the same issue as you have
But it dont give any error messages...and some key's on the keyboard(buttons) still give some respons on the screen...
And when you boot it with the usb connector with it, it says something more about that conexxion..

It is NEVER going to run on the Hermes.

dude...
It's not a simple matter or using the right version of this or that, or configuring it a certain way.
Haret will never run on the Hermes, making it impossible to ever run Android.
Hermes hardware is too old and too slow to run Andriod.
Haret can't even access the sd-card. Even if some how, some one re coded haret with the proper driver (which will not happen), there are still 100 other hurdles to over-come. They would have to get the graphics acceleration working with the ATI chip, Wifi drivers, Bluetooth drivers, etc... not to mention the actual instructions set of Andriod won't even run on the processor in the Hermes.
It will never run on the Hermes.
If you want to run Andriod, you should buy a device that supports it. Hermes will never be one of them.

is this some kind of a subliminal reverse-psychology message designed to challenge some dormant genius out there to waste a coupla month of his life to prove u wrong for the benefit of everyone else here at xda-dev?! ... if so, keep it up.. I hope such genius(es) picks up this post and gets all fired up and go "HOW DARE HE! I'LL SHOW HIM"... then.. *tick...tick...tick*.....*ping!*...
oh and while ur at it... Android will NEVER run on the Trinity either!!!
Funny thing....
Hi there,
it's getting funny how many poeple out there discuss the android on hermes issue.
Basically it's not the speed of MPU or a memory issue on hermes platform.
I'm quite sure that android would do it quite well on a machine with 400MHz and 64MB of RAM .
Android in fact has another important basic requirement:
It will require at least Xscale CPU or SoC with ARM926 or higher to run properly.
All binaries in the root filesystem of android are compiled to run on an ARM platform with at least V5 instruction set.
Some older devices use some kind of PXA SoC's or OMAP SoC's which talk V5.
That's why android may be ported to run on those .
Hermes uses ARM920T SoC with ARMv4 instruction set, so a standard Android root image will not work.
That's the reason why it will be very evil thing to make it ever run on the hermes platfrom.
Someone has to fix all parts of the source code that requires V5 instructions and do a complete compile of all binaries suitable for V4 command set.
Of course to do all this a nearly complete linux subset is needed too.
As already mentioned the kernel for hermes is far away from some kind of usability .
Nevertheless, it would be very cool to get any kind of linux run nicely on hermes. Please help out with reverse engineering and writing drivers to make this come true. Perhaps also other dreams may become reality this way
Best regards,
scholbert

Installing OpenMoko on Windows Mobile (XDA Stealth)

Hi
How about installing a linux based mobile os on to a Windows mobile (XDA Stealth).
OpenMoko is designed to run on ARM processors and so is windows mobile, so I think technically it is possible to do so.
I am probably going to work around that. Just wanted to know if anyone had already done that.
About openmoko http://wiki.openmoko.org
Thanks
Kunal Deo
It is possible
Just found out on handhelds.org that it is possible to install linux on HP IPAQ.
Hi can you please tell me more about the openmoko on our windows mobile device whats the steps to get it to run? and what files or needed any links thanksI went to thehttp://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Why_Openmokobut its too confusing for me to understand it lol
