Hello !
Curruntly winehq can run widows rt/ce apps on my Galaxy S Duos !
How to do it:
1)Flash a faster rom(like pmp (thx mohitash))
2)Download a compatible fedora armv7 img
3)Chroot into it
4)After chrooting:
[[email protected] /]:adduser rootCoder --force-badname (it's just an example) && su - rootCoder
[[email protected] /]:yum update && yum install wine
5)open androidVNC and then login to your vnc
6)open wine config
7)add all the possible libraries and apply them
8)set windows version to 8
9)open a ported windows rt/ce app via wine
10)EnJoY !
Don't forget to press Thx
You havent tried this yourself have you.... Either that or you havent clarified what apps you can and cannot run properly.
WINE does not support winrt at all. Only win32.
WINE does however support win32 on THUMB2 now and the wine wiki even directs you to GoodDayToDie's ported application thread. WINE can run these programs now.
It can do the ported desktop apps. It can't do store apps.
There is also a QEMU patch to allow x86 software to run under WINE on ARM, but its meant to be buggy at best and performance is terrible (although I wonder how it compares to maimachs little x86 emulator).

You still havent specified the difference between win32 and winrt apps (desktop and store).
Specifically WINE via this method will run the win32 applications from GoodDayToDies thread not apps from the windows store.

Your still wrong....
I know what it means. It seems to be you that does not.
WINE will run win32 applications. Not winRT applications.
Win32 = desktop.
WinRT = store.
Windows RT has both win32 and winrt runtimes. You are failing to specify which applications WINE will run on android, you just say windows RT, that could be store or desktop. The answer is desktop, you don't specify that.

That is really cool! And even if Windows RT or Windows on ARM dies as far as the desktop is concerned (I hope not!), Linux on ARM can benefit from these compiled programs!

x86Apps=any windows x86 EXE files
arm rt ported apps=arm rt EXE files (for jailbroken ones)
So:
-you can run ARM ported EXE files on you rt(if it was jailbroken)
And:
Winehq is running on an arm device, so it well run that apps
AND: you're wrong windows rt HAS NOT win32 runtimes (see : http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/B/16B06F60-3B20-4FF2-B699-5E9B7962F9AE/VSU4/vcredist_arm.exe)
you well see that EXE app is for arm...so you can run it on your rt (if it was jailbroken) but..we can run it via wine on our arm device

No. You're wrong. WinRT != Windows RT. Amen. WinRT reffers to runtime of Metro Apps, they does not have .exe files.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Runtime
Win32's are just 32bit Windows Desktop Apps. And those are .exe's. They refer both to ARM and x86 CPU. You can run Win32 ARM (well, Thumb 2) apps.
Windows RT has Win32 runtime. You're linking to Visual C++ 2013 redistributable (version 12), 2012 (version 11) is included in OS.
Anyway, still - cool news, and another reason to get mingw working for arm/thumb2 But I'll stick to my XPS10.

Sigh... lots of arguing about terminology and misinformation in this thread.
For everybody saying .rootCoder. is wrong: I don't see anywhere that he (or she) explicitly said WinRT, and in fact I do see a number of places he said "windows rt". "rt apps" (or "rt_apps") could apply to either. Oh, and WinRT EXEs are perfectly possible and indeed common; any native-code WinRT application will compile to an EXE (on desktop, tablet, or even phone).

These are Windows RT "applications". Not Windows RT "apps". It don't have a same meaning nowaday.
Oh, bull. Yes, those are referred to as apps, but so are desktop computer software program(me)s, to use a number of terms that don't contain the string "app"... and which have been called "applications" or "apps" since at least the 90s and probably longer. Unless somebody specifies "Metro" or "Modern" apps, using the word "apps" to refer to desktop apps is perfectly valid. Calling it wrong isn't even pedantic, just incorrect. It should have been perfectly obvious what was being referred to.

I have ported nodejs(0.9.7-pre) to windows RT.
And here are some issues which will affect the performance:
1.Snapshot hasn't been used.
2. V8 uses some assembly code for arm, but it's just for linux and gcc.
So currently simulator is used when executing javascript code.
Awesome - this will come in handy for testing JS code while I'm away from my main machine. I believe someone was requesting Node.js on page 11 of the Desktop apps ported to Windows RT thread, but I cannot yet post their either.
I posted it in there for you.
Very nice! I think it's actually possible to get V8 running on RT - I've been working on it as part of porting Chromium - but it might be easier to just use the interpreter for now anyhow.
Added to the first post.
This actually works better than I ever imagined.
Even the crazy HTTPS-Stuff works pretty well (Client authentication).
No Need for V8 for my 20 lines of code anyway...
How did you get it to work, or how did you install it?

I got a Windows RT 8.1 Surface for a trip I am taking, but in my down time, I would like to run Node.js.
I downloaded the Zip file above, unzipped it in a folder.
doubleClicking on it throws this error:
"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might ahve installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source".
When I run node.exe from a command line I get:
"The system cannot execute the specified program."
I have turned off UAC. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Tim

You answered it yourself. You require the jailbreak to run this. RT 8.1 doesnt have a jailbreak.
Could be possible to get latest Node.js release compiled please?
Thanks!

I may have found a way to run exe - only one question
Long story short, does Surface RT run Executable Jar File (.jar)...????
If yes, I will post the download link in xda.
Note the download link will be able to be downloaded through mega.co.nz.... For Security Reasons.
Update 27/01/2013: The Post which has the download link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37242467#post37242467
Well you can only run executable jars with JRE, which doesn't exist for Windows RT.

Can someone try to run a Executable Jar File (.jar). I am not talking about JRE. - No offence JihadSquad above comment
I will post the link as experimental anyways.
An 'executable jar file' is ran using a Java virtual machine (JRE in this instance), and there is no port of JRE,OpenJDK or anything related to Windows RT, besides why don't you just post what is your theory instead of hiding it, also we already have an exploit to disable signature checking and run executables under Windows RT
please link me, Samuel Games
and the link for Jar File...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37242467#post37242467
OK... explanations are apparently in in order here.
1. Windows RT can already run EXEs... they just have to be signed by Microsoft, or must run in the AppContainer sandbox (thus is what Metro apps do).
2. "Executable Jar File" is Microsoft's default name for a 'Java ARchive'. Executing it requires some form of Java Runtime.
3. There exists a hack to override the restriction in explanation #1. However, this still only allows running EXEs that are compiled for ARM processors.
4. There is no official Java runtime for Windows RT. However, there is a .NET-based Java runtime which can be executed on RT using the hack in #3.
5. There also exist emulators which allow running x86 code (instead of ARM code) programs, although they also require the hack in #3.
6. While decompiling your JAR file is not going to be hard, it would be good if you told us *what* it does, for convenience's sake.

hello my name is mike clery I was wondering any info on a 8.1 jailbreak I really want to install legacy apps on my surface rt so if you can tell me anything its December 26 and still no info on it
Dude. Don't pester the devs. Don't post questions that have already been asked and answered over and over again. Don't, ever, ask for ETAs or similar concerning hacks like this. Leaving aside the simple fact that it's impossible to predict anything of that nature (and thus asking is simply useless and annoying spam), people on here are volunteers doing this stuff in our own time. You are not our boss, to ask for regular status reports or some such thing. It'll be posted when it's ready. No point asking for anything else.
There has been plenty of discussion regarding an 8.1 jailbreak. I get that you're new, but time was, new members of a community had the courtesy to observe, and emulate, the behavior of the older members of the community. At a minimum, check the forum rules... the very first of which is: Search before posting!
cameyo ? work with jailbreakoen surface rt ????
Have you guys heard about cameyo ?????
Its pre pacakge apps taht dont need to be installed to run.
download them and run them, wonder if we be able to use those apps after the RT is jailbroken? any idea ?
search for online . cameyo . com / public - (no spaces)
here is the link to hugh list of apps that can be downloaded as n exe file and run on any PC, offcourse not on rt . i tried. Anyone with a 8.0 surface RT jailbroken devce, wanna try and let us know if they are working ?

Nope. Cameyo is for x86 not ARM and would need porting, as it is not open source that is not possible.
Possible alternitve?
Is is possible to just get a developer license on an rt device and then use your own signing certificate to sign some application (like audacity) then import the certificate into the trusted root authority list using certmgr.msc? If that worked then we could get something going that would work with few risk of problems. Also for anyone else who might find this useful, you can download a windows rt debugger and it has a built In kernel debugger (maybe could be used to jailbreak???).
... And we come full circle. @johndc7, thanks for your suggestion but did you really think that wasn't among the very first things we tried?
The requirement isn't that the binaries are signed. It's that they're signed by Microsoft. Your suggestion does actually work if the tablet is in Testsigning mode - which means, basically, treat any trusted signature as if it's a MS signature - but putting the tablet in Testsigning mode requires editing the BCD (Boot Configuration Database) and the SecureBoot feature prevents any modification to the SecureBoot flag in the BCD. We even have tried complex steps like exporting the BCD, enabling Testsigning on it, marking it read-only, and re-importing it. No dice. Feel free to experiment more yourself, though...
Oh, and as for kernel debug, that's definitely another way to disable the signature enforcement... and it's just as unusable as your last suggestion. Secure Boot blocks the Debug flags in the BCD. You don't need any special software to perform kernel debugging of RT - any build of kdb or windbg from the last few years can do it - but you do need to be able to put the tablet in debug mode to begin with. Again, if you find a way to do *that*, then that would be very valuable.
Another idea........
Hopefully this is something that is actually somewhat realistic..... I have been wanting to run audacity (mainly) on windows rt. Does anyone know if it would be possible to recompile it to run full screen in metro? Even though this method isn't really ideal, it would be something to temporally use instead of having nothing until somebody finds a better way of doing it. I understand that it probably wouldn't be able to be released to the windows store but a developer license could be installed to run it.
Well, at a bare minimum, you would need to re-write the entire UI. Metro apps don't (can't) use the standard Windows GUI frameworks, so any graphical app that isn't completely DirectX-based (which is to say, pretty much anything except games and command-line apps) will need to have their interface re-written.
Then there's the issue of things like getting it to work within the sandbox (you can largely work around the API restrictions, but the privileges issue is a problem) and, unless it is already possible to compile it under modern versions of Visual Studio (a lot of open-source software isn't), you would need to fix it for MSVC compatibility too.
Short version: Not practically.
Possible Alternative
I did find a folder on my RT device called "CodeIntegrity". The path is "C:/Windows/System32/CodeIntegrity". It contains drivers and stl files that I assume prevent the use of unsigned exes. Permissions that are not normally granted on the Surface are needed to disable the files, but if we could somehow do it maybe it would solve the problem?

Not exactly. They can be signed by any certificate listed in the kek or db and not listed in the dbx. So microsoft (though there are different signatures in rt 8.0 and rt 8.1) and the OEM, and any third party that made drivers that are used on the platform (at least in general). But those are just technical details and don't help find a solution all that much.

We need to have bios for our devices to boot it directly and since we don't have one, our best choice is to wait for a project on xda (I don't remember the name well but I'm pretty sure you can find easily if you search for it) that ports bios for android devices.
But to be honest even if you can run windows on mi 6 there are 2 bad news for you:
1) The vast majority of windows applications are written for x86 architecture and we have arm architecture, so to run them you should emulate either os or run the app in an emulated sandbox - so no good performance.
2) As I said in 1st one, emulation is a must (if you aren't planning to compile all those apps for arm architecture). Also windows 10's capability of running x86 apps on arm is based on that very emulation method, it runs them on a WoW (Windows on Windows) so there's clearly a hit on performance.
I suggest you to not to expect to have a decent windows system running on your arm device but if you need/want to run more basic windows apps, you can try Limbo PC Emulator. That way you can run some older or stripped down versions of windows with no heavy performance loss. For most of the basic things I find MicroXP project enough but don't expect to be able to run Photoshop on that I hope this answers your question.
I see, thank you ccelik97 for your clear answer.
