2016 - I managed to boot Windows 10 x86 on my Nexus 5:
YouTube: coming soon!
This time, it will be fully functional Windows OS
Please check this thread before New Year's Day!
UPDATE
Guys, I'm currently swamped with work but will be back in a few days.
Life in London is expensive and no one pays my bills for me. Also, I am going to have a wedding this year.
Please be patient, the final content (video and step-by-step guide) will be published by the end of this month.
I can see on fanpage that image with 'modded bootloader'. It's native OS or just app in Android is used to boot it up?
Dobra robota
I'm curious to see..
Holy shi.t 0_0 polish developers FTW!! Congratulations. I hope you will share the guide on your website
Pozdrawiam, zajebista robota
I hope this is legit.
Windows 10 is working, but first, I want to make a video and put it on YouTube (it may take a week)
If possible, I want to completely rebuild my website because it is out of date.
So, check this thread before New Year's Day!

If your tests are complete, will we eventually get a guide how to run it on our Nexus devices?
Wow, amazing work! Looking forward to see guide and install windows 10 on my nexus 5 too
Warning!
If you decide to boot Windows 10, be warned that long-term use can cause damage to your interna eMMC card.
I believe that in this way, I killed my original Nexus 5 32GB (or because of Overclocking @ 2.5GHz).
When I replaced my Nexus 5's logic board to 16GB, it was a challenge to prepare a system image with a size less than 8.5GB,
but I'v done it (6.5GB for Windows 10 Pro + 2GB of free space).
Will not be easier and safer to boot it from pendrive or external disk by OTG?

Yes, a complete guide will be provided online when ready.
I will not proviede any Winows 10 OS image, but you can create it yourself and launch.
You need:
Windows 10 ISO file or DVD installation disk
other freeware tools
Android device with root access and 8.5GB free space
I remember there was some program called Rt7lite. I modified windows 7 iso with that program and at the end iso was ~750 MB.
1 I removed drivers from iso (only left what it needed for my pc)
2 removed updates (~1 GB reduce in size)
3 disabled various services
after this it was installing on my PC in 3-4 minutes, and it took ~ 4,3-4.5 GB of disk space after installation. Maybe there is some program like that for windows 10 too so we can use it to reduce windows 10 iso in size and also disable some services we do not need in our phones. (We all know windows 10 has so much things working in the background, it's one big spyware)
Would be very nice to see my Nexus 5 is my 2nd phone so I looked some time ago for something to do with my n5.

Stop lying to us. Either you are using an emulator or you are using windows RT because smartphones do not rum x86 software.
Also you cannot simply make a custom bootloader.
So I believe that you downloaded the qemu app, a windows iso, and used it like this.
Or you are just showing a photoshop image.

Win7 Pro has a tablet thing that some say are good (would switch it on but no touch screen for my pc)
As for actually running it Android does well enough, im sure its possible but lack of drivers has stopped me from trying. If anything id try a live linux distro on the SD just thinking it could run it better, but win7 even in tablet settings would probably run like that Archos one, bad.

This is just wishful thinking on your part. Even if the NC had the processing power it runs a TI OMAP ARM processor. Windows 7 is only capable of running on x86 and AFAIK there is nothing in the works to recompile win7 for the ARM platform.
Windows Phone 7 (who knows) could one day be ported to run on the NC hardware.
Your best bet may be to use VNC or something similar to get access to a windows 7 remote desktop environment.

Let me clarify:
- No holy war comments
- AND apparently...
- No unnecessary insults
I posted the comment in "this section" (Nook Color "THEMES" and Apps) for the reason of a good fully emulated Windows 7 theme would suffice.
But YES I do wish a "hacked" version of Windows 7 could be developed. I did not ask for Win7 Ultimate, or Enerprise but Win7.
If we took the assumption that only a full unmodifed version of any OS could be run on these devices then I think we would all just be reading eBooks on them from B&N. Win7 just like ANY OS can be stripped down in many ways, even if basic stripping down was not sufficient, it would be a start. From there things can be modifed further.
So to clarify:
- YES I want Win7 Enterprise or Ultimate with BlueTooth, WiFi, USB, SDHC, Cell Stack, Fingerprint reader, Optical Scanner, camera (forward and rear facing) BlueRay DVD ROM/Writer, IR, and whatever else anyone has ever thought of that can be put into a high powered Windows workstation.
Short of that I would be willing to accept any of the following in the order listed from top down:
- Any version of Win7
- WinMo 6.5x
- WP7 (if someone can make it do something other than the standard WP7) (ie: remove the iPhone'ish lockdown limitations and run WinMo apps)
- Win7 themes that work on the rooted Nook Colors
- WP7 theme (as a theme would not come with the limitations of WP7 itself)
- WinMo 6.5x theme
- NT4 theme
- NT 3.51 theme
- OK that is as low as I am willing to go, although I would not mind having CMD on the Win7 version with the internal commands... lol
Read the above with a certain amount of sarcasim and reality, Win7 ROX so as close as my Nook Color tablet can get to it would make me happy (as well as a few others as well I am sure)!
Raptor
@ Jason - Thanks, I do have a Remote control client accessing my static IP devices.
Unfortunately we are just not there yet with the passthrough of the touch commands as I wouldlike it to be, and beyond that I was looking for a Win7 interface even when not on WiFi. I just like the standard commands, interfaces, etc... that I am familiar with over the Android OS. Not to knock it but it's not my prefered GUI.
But you are right, that does suffice at this time.

Wishful thinking is why I finally have skinny tablet computer in my haands only (insert sarcaism here) 42 years after seeing James T Kirk with one.
Win7 ARM platform... oh the rumors are already started. Balmer is supposed to be making an announcement of this @ CES 2011. Am I expecting it to be released before the Nook Color becomes my primary dust pan... probably not, but I am eagerly waiting onthenews just the same.
WP7 on the Nook Color; That would be nice once it has copy/paste and the other 1,400 features that WinMo 6.5x had that were removed or "not included" in the new WP7 OS (sorry, sore subject).

Maybe if we all ask Bill Gates real nice he will find it in his heart to release the source for WinXP so that XDA developers can port it for ARM architecture. What with this being Xmas and all.
I am an optimist but also a realist. Chances of getting WinXP to run natively on the Nook Color or any other ARM tablet are next to none.
Why will Microsoft take it upon themselves to port an unsupported 2 generations old OS to the ARM platform. IMO it will be a cold day in Hell before Microsoft releases the source for WinXP.
If you need a tablet running Windows maybe you are better off with the Archos 9 https://store.archos.com/archos-tablet-p-96.html or the new Dell Duo or the HP slate.
Look i dont know much about such things but surely CE is possible?
got this from arm.com:
"Hi, There
Microsoft itself makes tools for developing with Windows CE running on an ARM processor. If you go to the ARM Connected Community page for Microsoft Windows CE:
http://www.arm.com/community/display_compa...3&display=3
and scroll down to the contact information, you'll find a link to Microsoft's resources for embedded developers:
http://www.microsoft...ndows/embedded/
You should find what you need there."
OR BETTER THAN CE: linux and wine

CE wouldn't be too bad.
You should check out Windows Embedded Compact 7 which uses a lot of the same underlying software as Windows Phone 7 but has a traditional windows gui but can be overlaid with whatever you want.

Actually I will probably be getting a Dell Duo, but it's not as thin and heavier then the Nook Color as well as the price difference. I bought this on a wim as I bought 2 Nooks (non coler versions) for family members and it was just too darn cheap to pass up on. Needless to say I was thrilled when I checked and xda-developers had a section on Nook Color hacks...
I agree on the XP comments, but CE does support ARM (as in Windows Mobile (take your pick on the version)). I would like to see a WinMo 6.5x OS running on the Nook Color.
Raptor
new question...
has anyone succesfully gotten a full OS to boot from an sd card?
if so i might try mucking around with CE and get it installed on an sd...
if not i wont do it because i REALLY dont want to stuff up my color.
Now... does anyone know of any working drivers ;D

If the phone is Intel based, is it possible to run Windows on it - even if its a cut down version?
Windows desktop? Don't think so. Wouldn't scale right on the 4:3" screen.
Windows Phone? Maybe. But it would take a lot of time, time which I think should be invested into Android ROM baking and stuff.

agree.
If you can make the boot loader to read GRUB or MBR partition tables than the phone will load a Win XP/Vista/7/8 because of the native x86 instructions in the processor. Trying to find matching drivers then is the next step.

I think Intel have changed quite a lot within the x86 based architecture to be running fan-less and at that level of battery consumption.
Porting a x86 PC OS would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack and that's just getting it booting.
As for windows phone it has more chance of getting ported to any other android phone as it runs on ARM.

As in the stock bootloader won't let you boot from whatever you need to boot from? I figured with an unlocked bootloader, there wouldn't be any issues on that front.
then tell me how to make it boot from my sd card xD
Oh, I have no idea. I just thought those problems would be over. I guess the bootloader just doesn't support that function.

That phone is of no help since it uses wrong chip. It uses the Intel atom z530 made in 2008 long before Intel remodeled them for mobiles.
RAZR I uses a atom (soc) completely different.
As I said would be extremely difficult for little in return.
As for booting from sdcard if it doesn't support it then there's nothing we can do to the bootloader to get that to work.
We could boot to nand then mount sdcard partition partitions other phones have ran android from sdcard.

I'd be more than happy to help sponsor some development to have the RAZR i running Windows 8 Pro not Windows 8 phone.
I was quote about $2000 for a ITG xpPhone 2 a while ago, with the RAZR i being about $500 unlocked with a newer chipset and a thinner device, it would be really nice to have instead. I have asked for another quote for the ITG xpPhone 2 to see if the price has come down at all.
I'd didn't buy it yet as I thought with Windows 8 being released, there might be a bit more interest in getting it to run on Intel Medfield phones.
I really want a Windows 8 Pro device that I can have in my pocket.
Win 3.1 through aDosBox ?
Another way could be to use aDosBox ?
As for the Asus transformer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079332
Does the Razri version remove the x86 emulation layer ?
http://www.freeware4android.net/motorola-razr-i-xt890-device-2815/adosbox-get-24103.html
It should provide a faster version than the current ARM-based Android version.
We were talking about the real Windows 8/Windows Phone 8, not 3.1 through emulation.
Any news about installing a real desktop windows on this device ? Are there any x86 phone that can do that anyway ?
My main goal is to build an x86 handheld for retro games (old native windows games), probably coupled with an iControlPad 2.

The only thing that would run fine is Windows 8 desktop but we need someone to write an UEFI bootloader for the Razr i first. And even if it boots I'm not sure how the battery life will be nor how we would trigger it to install (the default installer will be useless on such a small screen).

Actually I'm not specifically interested in the Razr i, just wanted to know if it was possible to run desktop windows in x86 phones, my real target is the upcoming Lenovo K900, which have killer specs that should be good enough for a desktop windows 8.

Seems fishy. The lockscreen was an Android lockscreen, and the error popup also looked like an Android popup.
I honestly think he was just using something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XwIeWfvcZ_o#!
It seems that the ASUS tablet 810 has a medfield SoC and runs windows 8, so it's almost certainly within the capabilities of the hardware. The question is whether or not we can get the bootloader to play nice or maybe stick a custom bootloader on it.
I have always been a Windows user, however I recently ordered 2 Samsung 840 Pro SSDs, which i was going to use for a Raid 0 setup with windows 8. However when UPS came to drop them off, I go to get them from my front door, and come to find my windows pc on a BSOD.. Annoyed i decide I want to use one of these SSD's to install Ubuntu or some other distro (decide on ubuntu) and install it on a SSD, and use as my main OS.
Keep in mine I have used Ubuntu before and tried out other distros but never as my main OS. Usually in virtual box or maybe a dual boot that ends up getting deleted later. But this time I wanted it to be different, I was going to set it up how i wanted it and keep and use it as my main OS.
So yesterday I did this, I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on this new SSD. When it is done, I restart and am amazed on how quickly it boots. I know this is mostly because of the SSD, but it just completely skipped the ubuntu dot loading/boot screen. Motherboard post, ubuntu purple real quick, flash and bam its on login screen. 15 seconds from the push of power button.
Anyways once im in ubuntu, first thing i do is check for any updates, install those. Then I reboot. Now this next part is the part I am worried about. Installing the AMD propriety drivers. This task in the past has never gone well with me. Drivers seem to install, but reboot to non booting ubuntu. Or super slow choppy ubuntu. Meanwhile thanks to http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu I finally successfully installed AMD drivers (13.1 catalyst to be exact) now extremely happy me goes to install steam for linux . Install it, login, and first thing i do is download/install team fortress 2. Once that installs I click play, and bam it opens and plays. You dont know how happy i was to see this considering I have tried about a month ago to install ubuntu in dualboot to test steam. And never could get the drivers right or load tf2. I now go to install all my other linux compatible steam games, my humble bundle games etc.
Anyways this is getting too long for you guys to read lol . For the next couple hours I installed all the programs i wanted (chrome etc) then I wanted to customize some things. I didn't like unity much, but since this is ubuntu all that can be changed.
I ended up installing:
Cinnamon 1.6 desktop environment
Elementary Luna Mod Cinnamon theme
Plank + ElementaryOS-plank theme
Pantheon-terminal (from elementaryOS , not really needed but like the look of it lol)
Elementaryish theme for GTK+ and window theme (as you can see I like eOS look)
Elementary-icon theme
For a end result of this
Screenshot: http://i1.minus.com/ibcjIiidyTMpHL.png
Conclusion: I really love my setup now and will difinaly be using it as my main OS. However the little gamer inside me needs windows installed somewhere, so ill be using a 2ND SSD for windows (along with a 1TB hdd) pretty much 100% for games. May even set it up to boot right to steam big picture mode if thats possible lol. But valves attitude towards linux, and the humble bundles are both very positive things!

I think it would be fantastic to run AND windows 11. It's been done to pixel android 13, due to better virtualization android 13 is having.
Looking forward to that.
It is definitely a game changer.

shore is doable the soc is among supported devices and is you download the enterprise version the hardware support is huge but the thing is you have to mod the firmware to enable installing other than android and that is the tricky part

You need root for this?

ah no no root required but for enabling hardware passthrough you need to connect to pc and perform adb shell commands in order to raise oom server app limit at least y manage to merge kali netunter within termux actually y got termux installed before android 13 update so after a 13 update the system optimized termux to run Wery well

windows arm64n is since ages available so the software support was there but the hardware was kinda limited for such performance

I think it would be fantastic to run AND windows 11. It's been done to pixel android 13, due to better virtualization android 13 is having.

who says about virtualization is as slow regardless of what os you try to virtualize, modern phones can even boot windows natively sa long as you have the necessary hard drive space, but there is a cheaper way and most powerful too azure vm and through rdp just remote in to the cloud
linux yes with ease can run within android but windows is another thingy dual boot yes can be done by modifying your bootloader to allow usb boot and dual boot
Well, android 13 can now use KVM to run Linux through virtualization. However, Samsung have to allow it on his firmware...
Google Pixel phones already can virtualize any OSes with a new app called NestBox.
How can i test this?

Kdragon said to use qemu to see if you can access KVM. I've used limbo previously and it's super slow without KVM. There are tutorials on running windows through limbo but be careful with the windows image you use because they can be infected. There is an XDA post somewhere with windows images that have been optimized
Limbo was extremely slow when i tried (in other tablet). The best way right now, running some windows apps in tab s8 ultra, is with exagear. I have posted here:
How to run Microsoft office 2010 (windows version) in s8 ultra, and Android in general
In this small video I'm showing 3 things: 1. Exagear gold windows emulator version 3.0.1 Google it for more. It's a windows emulator for Android. I run it in tab S8 ultra 16 giga. It has a list of windows supported apps. One of them is office...

Any news on this topic ?
I'm actually using remote desktop with curtain mode, but using the Adobe softwares directly on the tablet would be amazing
And Android 13 is out now

Agree
Curently, the best you can do is using Termux with proot distro.
Unfortunately, Android 13 doesn't change anything since Samsung's kernels doesn't have KVM (and will probably never have).
We need to wait for custom kernel with KVM enabled.
