Is it somehow possible to run Windows Phone Emulator on VMware?
Hi all,
I've got a problem and I hope someone will be able to help me :fingers-crossed:
I'm now working on a Core Due Duo PC at 2.1GHz on Kubuntu.
When I need Windows, I usually virtualize it in my VirtualBox. Since now, I had no problems with it.
Because I HATE Windows 7 for previous problems, I tried to install Windows Phone SDK on my Windows XP virtualized, following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Windows_Phone_7_Emulator
Now, emultators starts but it is too slow!
After it starts, after about 20mins disappears the writing as in "booting_1.jpg" file here attached and after some minutes appear Windows Phone Logo as in "wp.png" file attached.
After that, emulator don't go on any more.
I tried the same emulator in a Windows XP machine no virtualized and after some minute emulators was ready.
According to you, is there something I can do for developing for WP7 in my virtual XP? Some particular settings?
I hope in some help, thank you very much
Can ADB run on a windows rt device?
Given the nature of this site, I'm going to guess you mean Android Debug Bridge, though there are far too many three-letter abbreviations in the computing industry for it to be smart to not give the full form once.
Short answer: No.
Slightly longer answer: Not right now, possibly never.
Real answer: RT can't run x86 programs, and the version of adb.exe that comes with the Android SDK for Windows is a 32-bit x86 program. However, it might be possible to either re-compile the program for ARM (I assume it's open source), or to run it under the win86emu dynamic recompilation tool (most likely not supported yet, but possibly in the future). However, there's no guarantee that the drivers needed to connect to an Android device for debugging will ever be available for RT, in which case it doesn't do any good to run the program because it can't connect to anything. I believe at present RT can browse an Android device connected in USB Mass Storage (UMS) or Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) mode, and can charge one (but probably slowly), but that's about it.

You may be able to run ADB over the network with the x86 emulator, if it has the network part implemented.
The ADB is open source but the windows port uses cygwin so we would need to wait for cygwin on RT which would be alot to ask for right now.
There's a way
1) Install an X 86 Emulator. Ref - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095934
2) Test and Install the apps you like. Ref - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092348
You might want to try running ADB, and see if that works.
Note - Whatever I posted here is not guaranteed to brick/unbrick your device or any related actions. So it is purely left to you on what you do with your device and has nothing to do with my update(s) here, even if it renders your device unusable or inconvenient or similar by any means and extent.
Update: Just realized that
1) The emulator doesn't work for Win RT 8.1 as Jailbreak doesn't work for WinRT 8.1
2) Hence no way for ADB to run on Win RT 8.1

Is it possible to use a windows phone and connect it to a android via otg host adapter or something to root it or run odin to upgrade / downgrade the phone?
No, it is not possible. desktop apps don't work on windows mobile, because of different processor architecture, most of phones and devices running windows mobile have ARM based processors, so no, this won't work. In fact, no app prepared for mobile device will run on desktop without emulation, but since I don't know about any windows mobile emulators, I think, that it is not possible.
How would i go about installing a windows driver on android, and is it possible to do it without a linux emulator?
