Wow good idea!
I tried it when I downloaded Limbo from the internet. I dl-ed and followed the instructions here, there is one SDL.apk within the zip file, does it have to be installed too? Is it needed?
Anyway I did that as posted in the OP and what I got was Starting Windows 95 (dos screen)... then nothing, just freezes there during start, any help? Im with S4 mini smartphone

the last I checked windows 95 and 98 were free. I was doing a search for a license key a year ago and came across an article saying that this guy phoned Microsoft and they said that he can have a universal key and told him he can upload it to the internet and share it with his friends because they don't support them anymore.

i tested it on 4.1.2 on l5 and work(boot is long, you need to wait a lot of minutes)
if you use qemu you shouldnt install SDL.

Err okay which is better, Dosbox turbo + boot IMG from it - at least I get to the Starting screen for Windows 95 before black screen and nothing,
OR
this limbo /QEMU with the settings described here? Better sounds and performance with which one?
I want to run some late 90s games that require windows. I tried in the Dosbox on the PC and there when I boot in Windows 95 I get nothing but drive C: and windows files, it is all inside the mounted image in DosBox, I mean how do you even see the files if browsing windows from your phone wont show you the files of your phone but just the Windwows drive C: and the IMG's files.
P.S here is a site to download bochs/QEMU apk from forum .xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459153

i tested only limbo, but it hasnt big performance on my phone. however pre-installed games work!
maybe u can create a 2nd harddisk with your files, because is not possible to show/open internal memory or sdcard
ok I found the post that I was talking about. Its a generic product key provided by Microsoft for windows 98. I would guess that when I call them tomorrow they will be willing to give me a key for windows 95.

Hi!
No NYDIOT REQUIRED! NO OTHER CABS
I found somewhere QEMU compiled to windows mobile, and it works well!
You must find somewhere windows 95 (or something else) qemu image and put it in emul/96 folder, then edit cmdline in emul/96 to change name of image
I can't provide you working windows 95 copy because of warez.
You can also run ReactsOS!
I can't test it well because my SD card is so corrupted (it can plugout anytime (and on boot too)) but I get into windows 95 loading screen easly
Some result got on my hima

and nokser, your opinion is not really necessary at all.
You're amazing! I think it was worth the effort to send you a new used device, as we all get back a lot. --To sad, that we still have to wait for athers secret project, he announced months ago.
Here is another interesting thing to test:
The attached file gives us the reason, why Windows Mobile Devices need softresets from time to time.
Does anyone remember those: "too many fingers on keyboard error" times?
I didn't find a Midlet Manager, yet, that shows the right screen resolution to show the bottom softkeys.
Nice one

What you are doing is against forum rules. The {OP} already stated that he would not share the W95 image due to it being warez. Sharing as well as requesting warez is against rules. Please edit your post. Thanks.
windows 95 is abandonware.
Check here for 95:

Qemu is faster.
Look at qemu.ink or something like this. It works same as qemu launcher
Also qemu documentary would be useful.
qemu is faster ... because bochs x86 for pocket pc is very slow ..
ha ... i have problem boot floppy image with win98 disk... it broken in starting win98..... why ..
..edit..
boot damn small linux ...
uncompressing linux ok .. booting kernel ... broken XD qemu is closed XD
who has tried linux on qemu ??
edit ..
kernel panic .. XD in idle task no syncing
ha .. i try on my siemens sx66 (htc blueangel )
why dont you try JPC ? its fast and a complete x86 machine emulation with source code in java ! i booted 95 and 98 and linux on it on a poor phone nokia95 ! and samsung mobile.
jpc is an open source written in java :
check this out : hxxp://javapc.sourceforge.net/home_home.html
JAVA X86 emu ..??
it work with pocket pc ?? .. . i will try ..xD
edit ..
is x86 emu for desktop ... no for windowsmobile ..

yes it should work since its in java. some work around if necessary!
what I am trying to do is writing an interface to enable jpc communicate with the wifi/network of the phone and hence boot your favorite OS and with an internet connection working! I am still fighting with it.. im using android htc hero for the moment , i have also a samsung omnia in which I try later, but since android is in java so its easier to figure out the interface...
your tested on android ?? ... i have win mob.. if you make a build for windows mob.. would be good
mm
anyone know about .. vmware for mobiles

Tell me what you think
~moonscapex
wow this is a great idea!
Have you thought of putting the glossy themed build on it?
Didnt know there was one.
Could you post a link?
its on the hd thread. It actually works really nice and looks great. Just replace all the files except the zimage, rootfs , and modules.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624808:)
can this be dl'ed directly to windows phone ? or does it have to go to pc ?
Right now it requires a pc. Im working on a CAB.. And thx for posing the themed version link.
woah woah woah... your telling me your gonna put all the latest updates of xdandroid into one simple place, make the installing easier (which was pretty easy to do already), and it's for the diam500?!
epic. absolutely epic.
cheers to you all!
I'm about to flash this rom + xdandroid on my diamond and noticed that you mention that android "builds can be easily updated" and was wondering what you ment by that. Will all my apps/settings remain or is it just easy to install the newer versions
I downloaded the program. In the Destination Folder dialog, I was unable to select the HTC Internal Storage folder--in fact I could not see the HTC device in the Browes button-only my logical drives. I'm using windows 7 and I could see the device in Windows Explorer.

Connect your phone in the 'Disk Drive' mode not 'ActiveSync' and then you'll be able to see the drive. This just places all the files then onto the root of the internal storage
Thx for helping him.
I'm actualky working on a different project, a Universal XDADEOID installer to work with all devices (DIAM500 is coming first). Ill post a link to the thread soon.

Where would I find how to get to the Internal Storage.

Sorry for being such a newbie... I just selected the root of the "Removable Drive." the files copied there. Now just tyring to figure out what the next step is...
I got it installed last night; very cool!
I note that in the text messages, I can only see the last message received. I can't see any of the previous messages to a contact that I received or ones that I sent. However, in the View All Messages, there is a number in "()" that seems to indicate the total number of messages associated with the contact--just can't figure out how to get to them.
The keyboard has me baffeled. How do I get to the gray numbers/symbols above the regular key letter?
Finally, some of the message and mail screen fonts are quite small. Is there a way to zoom the screen, like rotating the around the "button?"
Thanks for your work on this and your patience with me.

So yes that's the root folder so you have it all in the right place now all you have to do is run the 'haret.exe' this will start up android and the phone will take it from there (first boot will take a little bit). Also, personally, shutting off the wireless crashes my phone so if that happens to you just boot up android again skipping all of the initial setup steps.
I just installed this as well. It installed without a hitch. I'm migrating from the Touch and this seemed a little sluggish.

Yes, but for mobile 11.10 is much more fluent and smooth like, where as 12.04 is memory heavy and is awkward on a small screen, this is just a beta by the way...

Can you offer instructions to how you made it work. I have tried time and again following the steps to the T and can't get it to work. I have been able to execute every exploit with valid instructions to this point and even have figured ones with half instructions but have failed at this.

I haven't tried it yet. But did you download busybox? Or busybox installer? There is a difference, assuming that you just went to the Google Play app. HOWEVER, if you used the link and it still isn't working, disregard. I had the plain ol busybox and the install failed for me. I will be using the BusyBox Installer. I'll know once my SD card is done formatting.

There's an app that automates most of the process. Its called complete Linux installer. It has more distros than Ubuntu and the app is free. Its on play and here on XDA
Sent from my XT925 using xda app-developers app
Would this work with Arch or another ultra-light-weight distro?
Also: Is there any way to get Complete Linux Installer or another automated installer to run it off of the external SD? Safestrap takes up a ton of space on the internal, and I don't want to cram an entire Linux distro on there too.
Hello guys, while trying to change partition layout of our nexus 4, i ended up finding how to get android 4.2 beta on your device;
1st Post - Tutorial(about the rom will be 2nd post)
TUTORIAL(about the rom & ss, 2nd post)
1st: Download these files:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199.tgz (Factory Image of 4.2.2)
https://mega.co.nz/#!BA9HXAyJ!O2YFME-Wm_l6KXynWOxCYGztwuBq6u9fV4caMWtc5ls (Nexus 4 TOT file, dont worry we will not flash this on LGPST)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2387139&d=1384231255 (LG Firmware Extractor, to extract the .tot)
Fastboot and Adb already configured will be needed(i will not explain how to do this).
2nd: Install Factory Image
-just extract the .zip, and run flash-all.sh(or .bat if you using windows)
3rd:Extract the .TOT
-first, extract BinExtractor zip into the same folder as the .tot
-go to the location where bin extractor and the LGE960 .tot is(it must be the same)(ps: i use c:\ to be more easy to use the files).
-rename the .tot to a.bin
-open cmd as admin and type BinExtractor -extract a.bin
-it will say a warning about not finding magical number, just type "y"(without quotes) and press enter.
-then it will crash(if not skip), to fix the crash, right click BinExtractor.exe,go to compability and use Windows XP SP3
- if has crashed do again the command BinExtractor -extract a.bin, type y and press enter again.
-now you will see another warning, type y again and press enter, and wait until it finishes
4th:Installing the new System
- turn off your phone, and turn on as fastboot mode(vol down and power)
-open cmd where the fastboot folder is located and type fastboot erase system and press enter
- on that cmd, after it finishes type fastboot flash system <path\to\17-System.img\that\will\be\in\the\same\folder\as\a.bin>
- when it finishes, you just need to reboot and wait untill it finishes loading
Thanks(no order)
@xonar_ :for BinExtractor
@Gigadroid :for unbrick thread
@foil :for Tot File
Well Lets GO:
LockScreen(NO LOCKSCREEN WIDGETS,and clock in right instead of middle, also no lock ring):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
HomeScreen(nothing different for me, comes with aosp browser on home screen, but also comes with chrome, u will se later)
AppDrawerit comes with chrome also, and some weird app called LocMgrFT 1.4)
Camera(No Photosphere LOL):
Weird App(LocMgrFT 1.4):
Google Now as Just Google Search(yeah, no google now really):
About The Phone(System Updates dosent work, it dont find any)
Dev Options(Some Options That i didnt saw on official 4.2.2, like simulate second display and bug report):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The rom is stable, sometimes launcher crashes but its rare.
It uses less 20mb of ram the normal 4.2 & 4.2.2
some buttons are slightly changed from official 4.2
on about the phone you see that the kernel is from 2013 but that is because we are using 4.2.2 one(remember, after factory reset we only flashes system.img not boot.img)
whats the point? We have stable 4.2 (which is old) and we are on 4.4.

its not to use as daily driver, but its cool, to see how 4.2 was before release. and any aplication(except for benchmark) uses any of the api additions of 4.3 or 4.4 so yeah.
also 4.4 system ui is laggy.

Well I think it's pretty neat to be able to use a beta just to see what it's was like

Noobs don't get what you are doing. It's not to flash. It's a legacy of 4.2 as a work in progress. What's so hard to understand? Thanks for posting

Android 4.2 beta
Back to school.....really?
Thanks for sharing! I love having stuff like this to play with when I'm bored and I feel like tinkering. It's also something I love having in my factory image collection. I still have factory roms from all my past devices because I never know when I'll feel like playing around with one some time.
