Linux is working fine, but you will not get the 1024x600 interpolated resolution. OS X is not working. Both linux and OS X has been discussed in previous threads. Use the search function!

mmm... I trayed on other machine linux and it make me crazy, can you tell me a perfect release of linux to install on shift? I want to browse the web (with flash and java) and modify office document!
Thanks a lot!

what do you like on Mac OS X? I will never try to install Mac OS X on anything else than a Mac... it is already buggy with some few macs.. I don't know why it would work well on computers it has not been developped for.

I didn't see issues with Leopard on Shift. Yes, I tried it out. The only issues I found were losing touch and syncing the system with Windows Mobile. Also I didn't like Leopard on smaller screen. I did this just to check that out, so got reverted back to Vista. I am eagerly waiting for RTM of Windows 7. BTW, I don't have issues with Vista. At home I have 3 computers that run on Vista (2 on Ultimate and 1 Business), 5 Computers that run Windows XP (various versions), one with Ubuntu, and 1 MacBook running on Leopard (10.5.6). I have issues with XP based systems when I installed BizTalk 2009 and SQL Server 2008, but I never faced any trouble installing them on Vista Ultimate. I don't have issues with VS2010 beta 1 installation on both XP and Vista. My primary home system runs on Vista Ultimate has variety of server softwares installed in addition to Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 and Eclipse Ganymede with Android SDK that I need. I also use it as my Live Mesh host.

Saiweb, Can You Expound?
You said that you got OS X working on the Shift; can you explain your method briefly? Were there really no problems other than losing touchscreen? How often did it go out? I'd appreciate it.

My friend putrawanz did installed mac leopard osx into his shift just to try it out sometime back , but he said it is very slow in responding , even when u pass the pointer through the dock , the icons that expanded and then contracted back to origin size was somewhat lagging / jerking in motion , so it can be installed but can't be used . unless we used the 2gb ram stick coming out dunno when , then maybe it can be a lot smoother

Which distro did you use to install OS X? I had issues with the GMA950 graphic card. The installation started in black and white (640x480) and I never got past the spinning wheel to start the installation...

It must work
I would think that it should run pretty well. I've seen the YouTube videos of it running on a Shift very choppy, but I've also seen a YouTube video of an u810 (which component-wise is pretty similar to the Shift), triple booting, one load of which was OS X. It looked like it ran fine; he didn't demonstrate everything though. I think when people first tried installing OS X on the Shift, it didn't support GMA 950, but then Apple released a MacMini that used the same chipset. That, or it just really depends on the method and .kexts.

It definitely was not remote desktop. He demonstrated booting each one, OS X, Windows, and ubuntu. Each time having to select the partition to boot from in what looked like chameleon or grub. I have my Dell Mini 9 triple booting and it has GMA950 the same way. Works flawlessly.

What I mean is the installation on the Shift that you said was choppy. I don't doubt it runs elsewhere.
I mean this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdx77Gi3vtA

Gotcha
Gotcha. Wonder if the recent news that Apple is discontinuing support for the Intel Atom will have any effect on the Stealy. I'm OK with just running 10.5, but I'd still like to hear about people's experience with it.

She knows. She knew. Basically, there is no video that shows OS X running on the Shift, just a video of someone using remote login to access a computer running OS X. There is, however a video of someone running OS X on a u810, which is pretty similar to the Shift. I'm thinking he used the same method as was used in the MyDellMini forums.

Have a ball with it people,

about System performance: Win7 VS Vista

obey the forum's topic that dont install the control center and dont instal the vga driver ,first of all to install the ecd and touch screem driver ,at last ,excute the windows update.
than Everything is ok in win7
In win7 I feel it is quicker to open a document than vista。
But I found a problem.That WEI scores is 2.1 in vista and wei scores is 1.5 in Win7.If only difference of the number.not the performance?
maybe more tests must be done.
选用technet plus中最新的win7英文build 7000版本一切安装顺畅，打开文件速度也明显比vista下快
且无sd卡冲突问题。
几点注意事项
1不能安装HTC网站自带的shagctrl_1[1].2.6.122-control center否则会引起crash
2我的显卡驱动是连入网络后自动更新的，当我选用HTC的Intel VGA driver(7[1].14.10.1461) 系统crash
3安装步骤很重要详细请参看最上部链接，否则很可能导致触摸功能无法启用
4有些朋友无法使用wifi，个人感觉可能是win7版本的问题，我的是安装Marvell Wifi driver(8[1].114.123.139)立马认出的
疑惑：vista和win7都自带系统评分，原vista business 和ultimate都是2.1。在win7评分中只有1.5
显示卡和graphics 功能都有下滑。是否仅仅的数值反映还是驱动不匹配引起的系统性能下跌，我将进一步在实用程序中测试来看看，如果win7有非常理想的图形表现效果，那选择win7而不是vista将是义无反顾地。

Control Center is working fine in all builds after build 7000.
Also, I had to install the HTC VGA driver in order to get full resolution working (with aero disabled).

I have done some graphic performance test (CPU Dependent with our hardware configuration),
Quake3 engine Testdemo demofour.dm_68 800x480
XP= 90Fps
Vista= 67Fps
Win7= 70Fps
You judge..
I would love to stick with XP but cannot read my 16GB SDHC,and probably never will in XP..

actually ,I think it is best in xp.I played some game to feel this too.
fortunately win7 is better then vista
Thank you for your exactly information.

Remember the Win 7 ratings are completely different - desgined to include SSD's and newer hard drives...I have the latest DV5 from HP and in Vista H/Drive perforamnce was like 5.9 - on Win 7 it is 2.1, yet it copies and reads faster....go figure! I say ignore the ratings and use your senses to determine speed.

That's not working.
for some reason, the site isn't serving up keys, or for that matter, it's not doing anything. After I select the language, and hit go (to download) it takes me to another page with a loading circle in the middle and doesn't load.
Something wrong with the servers?

Where did you find that? I need that!
I installed the TC today. It was a lot of frustrating work with a lot of errors.
(It needed drivers for my own external dvd player, It crashed form usb-stick, and corrupted my XP partition)
However,
Now, I have everything running rather smoothly.
There is one program I need that doesnot start, so I would realy like this XP mode I heard about.
thx in advance,

xp mode?
I've got xp SP2 and sp3 listed in my compatibility modes, but not just xp alone. Is the download you're talking about separate from that?

Pfeffa-rah
Tried it. It installs and then...... nothing.... no program group or icons and an almost empty xp-mode folder....
Thuroth's instructions don't apply because they seem to be for an older beta version.

Darn. I've managed to install Win7 RC version but I can't get any of the HTC drivers to work...
The VistaECDrvV1[1].0.1.10 says that " DPInst.exe does not execute on your current operating system".
What does THAT mean and why won't it work?!
If I rememember rightly from failing to install XP repeatedly, if that doesn't install then the other drivers just fail too? EG I've installed the WiFi driver but when I go to use it, it says there is no driver.
But apart from the fact I can't actually use Win7 yet, it looks pretty and seems to do things quite speedily
OK, so I have to learn to READ... All is installing swimmingly this time

Just wanted to say that Windows 7 on the Shift is fantastic!!!
Took me about 4-5 hours to get a basic install complete with all of the drivers, but it was time well-spent. All of the HTC drivers and features are supported including the fingerprint scanner, that HTC communications panel, etc.
Biggest headaches were getting the higher resolution display to work (had to turn aero off multiple times as driver installs kept re-enabling it) and my SD card giving me a BSOD. New drivers fixed that, too.
Follow the instructions in the Windows 7 thread (thanks everyone!) and stick with it. Windows 7 is worth a few hours of your time!

Windows XP on PDA =)

Hello i am new to posting on this site but a long time reader and i have a Xda mini S (wizard).
anyway
i have been looking around the internet because of a crazy idea in my mind.
The idea came to me yesterday after upgrading my rom to WM6.1 then to WM6.5
So am looking at WM6.5 and just am thinking wouldnt it be nice to have Windows Xp on my phone so can be like a portable laptop with calling and texting.
i saw some thing about it for a different pda i think
so was just wondering is it possible to upgrade the rom and install XP on a Xda Mini s.
Doesnt have to be like the Desktop version it can be a mini remake.
as long as its possible to flash it again afterwards if i change my mind about it.
Anyone have any ideas for me ?

An easy way to fix this is via citrix, or via vmware...

well you must be a retard to think xp run on wizard is no such thing runnning xp on a pda close thread please...

Maybe you should think outside the box a little before emphatically saying something isn't possible. Heck, 60 years ago noone thought it possible to carry around a phone withoutwires, or have a computer smaller than the size of a room.

hello,
i wanna say i had win 98.
but.... you have to change resolution with nyditot cause it isn't vga.
and on mine the mouse doesn't work.
just se this lik earlyer said http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362344
.
so goodluck i know it works cause i had it myself.
but as i said no mouse and slow.
just try it is great to see
also watch youtube there are movies about it.

Well, it is impossible to run Windows XP natively, because the architecture of the wizard(or any htc smartphone) differs from the pc architecture.
However, there are 2 ways to "run" xp on your wizard:
1) With an x86 emulator like bochs or qemu; you don't want that because it's even slow on a normal pc, and you still don't have sufficient RAM to run xp.
2) Run xp on a normal pc and use VNC or RDP to control it remotely(so you need a fast internet connection). I believe there an rdp app called "Terminal Services client" on a default wm installation, so I'd go for that one.
If you want to run windows to play games on your pda, I'd advice to forget it, vnc and rdp are not designed for such tasks...

Well, I dig this idea. any one with the know how should be able to port Tablet PC OS into an .nbf file with all the right drivers an stripped of all unnecessary junk ( a minimalist version) . If not a complete os than lookalike may be. May be i am dreaming big but someone should be able to help. I see ppl trying to port Linux/ android on wizard than why not XP?

The Omap processor (which is an ARM processor) isn't powerful enough to Emulate a x86 processor with acceptable speeds and memory to run XP on a wizard (even if XP has been stripped etc..).

Upgrade to Win 7 without new installation of programs?

Hi guys,
as I read through the threads the upgrade to Win 7, same as the downgrade to Win XP, always requires the new installation of all software application programs that are not bundled with the OS.
i.e. MS Office, FireFox, Navigation software, ......
In June 2009 various news sites confirmed this obstacle.
In the last days I read that there will be (possibly) an upgrade that will not require the user to re-install the application layer programs.
Can anyone confirm or deny this statement.
And if it's confirmed will it be possible for the Shift?
Thnx a lot, guys

If you are upgrading from Vista, it is fine - you can do an in place upgrade and it will bring all your installed programs across.
If you have downgraded to XP, the only way to upgrade whilst preserving all your install programs is to upgrade to Vista first, and the upgrade to Win7 - there is no direct path from XP to Win7.
Regards,
Dave

Yeah, but Vista is still lurking, isn't it?
I'd rather endure installing everything twice (XP and Win7) than have Vista anywhere near my Shift!
In fact I did

Hi Dave,
thnx for your information.
I haven't done any downgrading (XP), not even the SP1 for Vista.
I have only liberated the Shift.
The OS is as shipped from HTC, only application programs installed.
If I do an inplace upgrade, will it get rid of all the Vista stuff that slows down the device? Meaning, will it be as good as a "complete from scratch" installation of Win 7?
Second, which version of Win 7 should I get? Home, Professional, RC?
And where do I get it?
Thnx a lot, cheers

Yesterday I made a full backup image of my Vista installation. Then I upgraded my HTC Shift to Windows 7 Enterprise RTM from MSDN.
The upgrade process took 3 hours, because it had to migrate 300.000 files and settings from one OS to the other. Before the setup I had 15GiB free on the HDD and after that 18GiB where free! So upgrading Vista to Windows 7 won't leave any old memory chunk on the HDD.
I only had to reinstall the Touchscreen Drivers. Everything else was still there: Several network shares, desktop widgets, explorer settings, all the applications with theirs settings, my two Outlook profiles with their on Exchange setups and so on.
Windows 7 itself also responds faster than with Vista. With the same auto-start applications I have more free RAM available and the OS itself looks much better.
So I can only recommend you to upgrade your Vista to Windows 7.
There is no need for a clean install, as long as your current Vista setup isn't anyhow broken.
After this Windows 7 experience I hope that the prejudice against Windows upgrades will be a thing of the past.
edit:
For the Windows 7 upgrade your Vista needs to have SP1 at least. I upgraded a Vista with SP2 and the latest Windows Update patches. The setup has to be started within Vista, otherwise it won't allow an upgrade. And you don't need to burn the Windows 7 DVD. You can mount it in Vista into a virtual drive or you can extract the ISO files to an folder. Before the first reboot the setup copies all the necessary installation files onto the local HDD. So after that the DVD isn't needed anymore.

Well i followed these steps - and when windows 7 boots the touch screen did not work as stated - so i downloaded the drivers from the HTC shift page, installed them. Although they did not error - they also did not work - seems to install properly but still not touch screen.
Also when I put the screen to 1024x600 the device bluescreened as it did in the pre-release versions..
Has anyone got Win 7 working (MSDN Release) and all hardware working; if so please share your steps.
Thanks
Kris

MS have stopped distributing the RC now, but they will still provide product keys for it until Oct'09 (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/download.aspx).
You can get the full RTM version of Win7 if you have an MSDN or Technet subscription, but otherwise you'll have to search the usual sources for a copy of the RC iso (not promoting warez here!).

Hello,
please try to uninstall the the VistaECDrvV1[1].0.1.10 driver first, then reboot, install it again and reboot again. Afaik I did this to activate the touchscreen driver.
Good luck!
And about 1024x600: That is a known problem. The Intel driver creates a BSOD as soon as you use a resolution higher than 800x480. The current workaround is to disable the Aero effects. With Aero Basic you can switch to higher resolutions without crashing the system.
I hope this will be fixed soon.
