[Q] Windows Embedded Compact 7 on HP TouchPad?

Has anyone attempted this? I have WEC7, and was wondering what the next step would be for attempting to load it on the TouchPad.
Thoughts? Help? Tips?

Does WEC7 even support the ARM architecture?

Yes. It does.
ARM, MIPS, x86

That would be awesome. I'm watching this thread fo sho!

I wish someone would initiate windows 7 CE development for HP touch as the MS link suggests its does support ARM v7

Id like this too.

If you're a student or a teacher you can legally get it for free from Dreamspark.com .....just have a hotmail email
maybe this would help some people that want it.

You realize that windows compact 7 is Windows CE variant and not the Desktop OS right? Like on the HTC HD7 phone.
Windows 8, the desktop version of the OS, does run on ARM architectures but that is not released yet.
Besides, each copy of the OS should to be licensed.

The Win8 intel and the arm versions of the OS are different.
You can run the web apps in x86 systems but not the opposite (x86 compiled applications in arm systems).

he means appearance wise.

Appearance wise will be different too cause the 'desktop mode' will be missing

ill have to double check... but i believe in my MSDN subscription i have access to this... and if the second fire sale goes my way i may be able to help.
bah... only Intel architecture versions. no arm for me

Windows 8 RT for ARM-based tablets?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_RT
Any idea whether it would be possible to run this version of Windows 8 RT on the TP?
They say this is an ARM-based release, so If you could get ahold of a legit copy- you should technically be able to port it over to the TP.

It's all over bro, locked bootloader, blah blah blah
~Freshly acquired LTEvo; ViperRom'ed in under 2hrs...

What about all the driver stuff? Its not that easy as just to get some Windows from anywhere and flash it on the Tablet.

drivers are probably not such a big issue. there is a creative method windows is using for driver implementation. plus about 6-ish months ago, i saw a demo of windows for arm running on hardware nearly identical to what touchpad has. so i think if not for it being locked, it would technically be possible.
here is the link to where i read it http://www.anandtech.com/show/4811/windows-8-tablets-running-on-ti-qualcomm-nvidia-amd-intel-silicon go down to qualcom, i think those specs are pretty much in line with what a touchpad has
here is some info about how they are handling drivers. scroll down to driver section and look for "class drivers" http://www.anandtech.com/show/5527/microsoft-provides-windows-on-arm-details
unless i'm mistaken, and i could very well be, seems like the driver implementation is going to be very flexible in what will be supported.

I hope windows 8 come to touchpad

if it ever does, it wont be officially and i doubt someone would be posted on this forum how to install it

It depends how strict the ARM version is on drivers. If you think about it the x86 edition will install and boot with hardly any drivers required but I think this is due to a large library of included generic drivers. You can also instal drivers in Windows after you boot into it pretty easily.
The restrictions on doing this are going to be legal concerns since Windows RT will not be sold so files will likely not be allowed here. It also depends on if this is even possible to do since there will be no disc/ISO image out there and it depends how similar RT is to its x86 counterpart. They are both NT so I'm thinking that they may operate similarly, except RT won't have all the legacy system files that x86/64 has.

if you see the trouble the devs from cyanogenmod or the other linux ports are running into with the drivers, i dont think there will ever be a working windows port here.

The windows 8 RT version is made for tablets running a arm processor. So It is comming. I wonder how Windows 8 Proffessional response, when I jack a windows Phone 7 into my usb port Wonder If I still need those drivers wich is 2,3 gig or so
I have the Proffessional version of 8 wich is fully activated by Microsoft hehe, suckersszzz

And where are the information? Its no problem to obtain W8Pro and get this activated!?

Im still waiting for the guys who said it would be that easy to show some proof

We won't get Windows RT. Microsoft will not be releasing an iso with the files. It will be only given to OEMs.

This would be simply amazing.

I want this

Any (positive) updates?

RT will only be on officially approved devices by microsoft. so you realize that it would involve using pirated software and even if someone could figure out how to get past the security measures it would never be posted here?

Hmph, and what about WP7 for HD2? Was it posted on XDA?
By the way, Microsoft made a huge mistake by locking W8 RT so tight, it would have bigger chances of adoption if devs were able to legally port the OS to other devices.

i dont know about what was or was not allowed with wp7 so i cant comment on that. but getting rt on other non-sanctioned devices will take some hacking and distribution of their software... i'm thinking thats too close to piracy. i'm no mod but i dont see how they would allow that kind of information on here.
but i agree with you, they should have been more open with the devices. maybe down the road microsoft will allow it, but who knows.

Microsoft publisher in windows phone 8?

Is there a way to install microsoft publisher in windows phone 8?
Sent from my ARCHOS GAMEPAD using xda app-developers app

No, there isn't. While WP8 and Windows 8 share a common core Windows Applications and especially Desktop Applications are incompatible with WP8.

There is little common ground between WP8 and W8 RT atm. The core classes used for UI development are completely different.
MS said they would bridge the two platforms over time, but it is unsure if current WP8 devices will ever see that day.

Android on Nokia lumia 620

Hello I am just asking if I can flash my Nokia lumoa620 to android if no tell why if yes tut or link please thank u

No you can't. There are no Drivers for the Hardware, no one has bothered to work on it and the most likely reason is that all WP8 devices use SecureBoot to make sure only signed OS code gets executed on the Hardware which (at the Moment at least) prevents any Kind of CustomROMs.
The Windows Mobile days are over. No Windows Phone device has ever been able to run another OS and it's likely to stay that way.

Did you search for apps carefully? Because many apps have the same content like android but the app is called differently.

Nope. Windows devices are all protected and encrypted to hell and back. You'd be better off getting a separate Android device (consider a Nexus device, those are cheap and good for their cost), or finding replacement apps for WinPhone.

Ever heard of HTC HD2?

Yes, we heard of that. And it's not a Windows Phone device! It originally ran Windows Mobile (which is something completely different than Windows Phone) and was hacked to run other operating systems like android, and even Windows 8

The only reason the HD2 lasted so long, was because @coutulla was behind the hood. He had done everything he possibly wanted on that device. With him not interested in Windows Phone, you all can just wait for HTC and MS to work out the kinks for dual-boot phones. Go to WPCentral to figure out your self. My only remark: Nokia devices will not be able to run android, or vice versa, misc phones e.g. Motorola Droids will not run WP8. WP8 is device specific, while Android can float around a little more easy, but both Android and Windows Phone is dependent on the cellular radio and device specific drivers. It's a can 'o worms that we don't want to mess with, and the one that can to this type of work are going away from Windows Phone. Anyways, I'm not sure what ultrashot has been up to these days.

HD2 (Leo) was a Windows Mobile device (WinMo 6.5 was retroactively rebranded Windows Phone, but it bears no resemblance to the WP line). Although WP7 was successfully ported to the Leo, the hardware actually did not conform to the chassis specification for the OS; calling it a "Windows Phone device" is therefore more than a little disingenuous. Besides, even among WinMo devices, the Leo was absurdly multi-OS capable; most mobile devices are lucky if they ever get two different OS families running on them. Leo had WinMo, WP7, Android, desktop Linux, and a handful of others as well; the fact that this is notable makes it the exception which proves the rule that generally, it's not possible.

And only think that the bigger part of cotulla's projects weren't public released (windows embedded compact 7, apple stuff and so on ) I wonder what he is doing now..and where is the DFT (probably they are working on htc one). Anyway, I think that a dual boot between android and WP8 is not possible because of UEFI..android doesn't have it so it's impossible to make it boot if on the phone there's WP8. Cotulla made a long chain to make it possible: HSPL-MAGLDR(to run android)-UEFI MAGLDR(to run WP8) And HTC or any other manufacter will do something like that. Windows asked HTC to give a choice (Android OR windows phone)..I think that HTC refused because Microsoft asked even to Huawei and Samsung in any chase HTC is failing, probably will close soon..

Why are you doing this,Android is not smooth,I hate it,so I buy a windows phone to instead HTC Desire.

And what about now ? still nothing?
Recently My bank put a App online, and this the only way that I can deal with my bank and the App is only for iOS or Android...and dont really want to buy anything else

In my country, few people every day bombard bank mail with demand for WP app and after one year we got bank app for WP8... You never get Android on WP device. Forget it.

Windows 10 on Nexus 6?

Our nexus 6 is a powerful phone, better and with more specs than many laptops out there, is there a way to run Windows 10 on it? I read that xiaomi phones can run Windows 10. Any developers out there who want to try to boot up windows 10 on Nexus 6. It'll be awesome

Just as you would need with any other phone. We would need drivers for everything to work. Without drivers just like a computer you are working with practically nothing till we get drivers.

More specs than many laptops? Um no.

What would be the reason to run Windows 10? Just cause you could type of thing or is there a specific reason?

Well it's yes and no.. Bigger numbers (2.7 GHz quad core) on paper but the architecture is so different that it no way translates to the same "power" the same numbers in a PC.. Some people think bigger numbers means better.
So yeah you're right, but some people don't know...

Windoze 10 on my phone? No way. I purchased an Android for a reason. lol Many reasons!

Normally, I'd 100% agree with you. I got into the Nexus line of phones when my old non-smartphone died way back when and I was in the market for a new phone. I got a Google phone because of how highly integrated I was with Google's services; I didn't have Windows 8 yet, so no Microsoft Account login, had no SkyDrive, just simply hotmail. Meanwhile, I had Google+, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Voice, Google Drive and multiple "Sign-in with Google+" site logins and accounts.
These days, however, what with Windows 8, Windows 10, Cortana, OneDrive and Outlook (it's been my main e-mail address for a lot of things lately, especially for communication with my manager and coworkers), my Microsoft account is highly used, too, on par with my Google one.
The main reason why I'd love to be able to run Windows 10 on my Nexus 6, however, is the Cortana feature; I have fallen in love with her on my Windows 10 PC and having her on the go would be awesome. However, I love my Nexus 6, so I'm not switching it anytime soon. Having Windows 10 on it would be the best of both worlds

Why do it the hard way.
