I jailbroke Windows rt with the last version of the software and i'm using wwin86emu (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095934) but for every game that i'm trying to run it tell me that i miss the opengl32.dll library...
so?
Please stick to the original thread, rather than open any more, thanks

Well kind of...
Anyone got any know how to / interested in helping me figure out how to get this
http://wiki.ok-labs.com/FrontPage#ARM1136js
more info ( http://www.ok-labs.com/about/about-ok-labs )
running on my Htc Touch Pro
so that it would be possible to run Windows Mobile and Android on it at the same time?
I got interested the subject for two reasons.
1) I've been looking for a good excuse to get my hands dirty with some low level coding to learn more about mobile architectures and computers in general
2) Android has some cool apps Id like to run but I'm a long time Winmo user and I'm comfortable with it and have a deep app catalog and would like to keep using it
who's game?
edit: Mod's could you please correct the spelling of android in the title for me?
Just a discussion came up and made me wonder if this is even possable. This is the place to ask, so here we go.
All WP7 models seem to run at 1ghz or higher, thinking the concept that WM 6.5 runs pretty well on hardware that runs at 400-528mhz range. Would it be possable to have a emulator that runs on the platform so you can run 6.1/6.5 on a WP7 phone ? This would allow you to be able to run some older apps with still having WP7.
I would not expect intense games (maybe a card game ok) to run at full speed or anything but, things like Remote desktop and other base apps might be ok with this.
This type of thing would run on any phone (with 1ghz+ hardware) just depending on if all the hardware is supported.
Or I guess there might be a way to "shut down" 7 and open 6.5 kind of how Android runs on the TP2.
The emulator idea came up because it might be able to run on any model with minor updates vs. a boot up just for one phone.
Just some ideas...even if it is possable.
Thanks for reading and dreaming (well I am still waiting for a Verizon WP7 phone)
No sorry, the emulator runs on the x86 architecture, not on ARM.

Maybe I'm misreading the original question, but it sounds like he is asking if it were possible to have an app that would run old Windows Mobile apps, kind of like Classic on WebOS.
well at present we (3rd party) developers wouldn't be able to make something like this as all the APIs don't actually exist. someone with knowledge of the whole code base of windows phone 7 could probably do it but i doubt we'll see it happen. if there are programs you need on windows phone 7, it is definitely faster to just have it redone. it's really only the UI that needs redoing, if it was written in VB or C#, a lot of the code will still work.
I was wondering, tht when buying a new smartphone if I go with windows based OS on mobile, will I be able to run any software tht can run on windows based desktop computer? If not, such functionality is expected to come with forthcoming Windows 8 mobile?
PS: I wana run my live stock market terminal on mobile phone.
Since ver 7, the os is no longer called windows mobile; its now called windows phone. but to answer your question, no you can't run desktop applications on windows phone (or windows mobile for that matter) and this is unlikely to change.
That said I'm sure you can find another application to achieve whatever it is that you're after on the marketplace...
:-( my all needs are getting completed with an smartphone, but i guess eventually i will have to buy a laptop as well... just to run my stockmarket software.... Damn and they are telling smartphones (Like SGS2 etc.) are quickly replacing laptops...
PS: Wht is the latest ver. of windows phone called and, what is the windows phone marketplace url (Kind of new to smartphones)
Well for a lot of people smartphones or tablets can replace computers, most people aren't stockbrokers!
The latest version of Windows Phone is 7.5 Mango, which is currently at RTM stage - i.e. released to OEMs pending approval for new devices and upgrades to existing devices.
The Windows Phone Marketplace can only be accessed via the phone or via the Zune desktop software. The Zune software comes highly recommended from me, it's a very, very good media management software and I can't live without the wireless sync function anymore!
You can browse the marketplace through Zune without owning a Windows Phone device.
Perhaps you could let the community know what it is exactly that you need to do and someone might be able to suggest something?
EDIT: As you're new to smartphones, from a usability perspective Windows Phone 7 would be an excellent choice for you - it is simply brilliant to use, the interface is understated and elegant and the lack of pointless graphics makes it both simple and quick. Microsoft have clearly put massive effort into making Windows Phone highly usable and have surpassed pretty much all expectations, especially with the 7.5 update, which brings in a huge amount of functionality. A lot of people try and put Windows Phone down having never used it, because it's one of those things that needs you to spend 10 minutes with it to understand - but once you've spent 9 minutes with it, everything else just seems ridiculously complicated.

Silverlight in Windows
Hi
Silverlight apps are currently available in Windows and I think that the concept being put out there at the moment is that Windows 8 will run the same apps as Windows Mobile 8.
Nobody knows if this will become a reality or not.
Cheers

The best thing for you to do would be to find a mobile version of the software you are trying to run. Then get the device that runs that particular software.
The closest you'll come to running your "exact" software on a mobile device is to get a Windows based tablet or laptop. But to run your stock software on a smartphone, you will need the "mobile" version of that software, if it exists.
Also, check to see if your stock-terminal application is web-based. If it is, you may be able to access what you need with ANY smartphone through the smartphone's web browser. That means your "stock terminal" would work on Windows Phone, iPhone, Android, etc.
Anybody know if it'd be possible to install Windows 8 on an Intel-based smartphone such as Droid Razr i? The device should theoretically be compatible with Windows 8 as it's just using a pretty standard Intel Atom x86 CPU. The 32-bit version of Windows 8 should work. Anybody tried this before or know how I could approach this?
This should be revisited. The Asus Zenfone 2 came out and specs-wise, it is more powerful than many tablets out there.

Agreed! However, back when I asked this question, some people said it was not possible due to lack of driver support and possibly some issue with the bootloader. But when has that ever stopped XDA? This would be a really cool project and would really be awesome if you could install Windows 10 and use the Continuum feature. Unlike Windows 10 Mobile, this version of continuum would still allow x86 desktop apps to be run on the phone.
"This would be a really cool project and would really be awesome if you could install Windows 10 and use the Continuum feature. Unlike Windows 10 Mobile, this version of continuum would still allow x86 desktop apps to be run on the phone."
I completely agree with you. Chances are MS won't let Asus make this happen but Windows 10 Pro in your pocket and it can send/receive calls+text messages? What's next?...Snapchat?? - one can dream.

It doesn't matter if Microsoft allows it or not. I'm sure people will be able to get an unlocked bootloader for this phone or make one if Asus doesn't provide it. From there, I'd imagine it'd be something along thing lines of pre-installing Windows 10 onto a microSD card and then boot from it on the phone. The hard part would be making it boot and finding the necessary drivers. I wish I'd know more about where to start but my development skills are more centered around app development, not necessarily OS and hardware.

Please don't make me wants this more than I already do...
I have a RCA android tablet. I have been doing some research and found that windows RT will work on ARM based tablets. However I cannot find a download or any information on how to load RT on my tablet. The only think I can find is Windows RT 8.1 ADK kit. Now according to the software the kit is suppose to be for deploying windows OS on any ARM based tablets, but as far as I can tell there is no GUI and I only took electronical engineering at ITT tech, I don't know **** about programing or code. So what I am asking is, is there a download available that you can download onto your desktop, connect a tablet and load windows RT. Also, has anyone seen this changemysoftware.com **** on you tube that claims to change your OS for you in like 15 minutes? Tried to download and all I get is some bull about the version I have is old and I need to download a new version but the mirror sites to download the app just keep you running in circles until you give up or spend all kinds of money. Sorry, had to vent a little there. Anyway, don't really care for android os and don't want to have to go out and buy a tablet with windows pre installed.

Though I am not familiar with Windows RT and its architecture, for your question, all I can say is, just like people build android os from source by using its sources (AOSP and it's derivatives), IMO, you need to do a similar task to make Windows RT only for your device. The os for mobiles are device-specific type. And maybe the same trees- Device Trees, Vendor Trees and Kernel sources (which OEM provides) is used in Windows RT also.
P.S. I can bet my life that Android (or more precisely Linux) is more cooler than Windows!

Thank you for your response, however this really doesn't answer my question. I there a download somewhere for windows rt and how do you load it onto a tablet with arm processor? And as far as my phones are concerned I love android, but for a computer I like to browse actual websites not mobile ones and if I need to create a document I prefer office and all the functionality that I already know how to use.
