Is their anything like a rom mod or app that will make my note function like a windows platform? Like a start button ect.
Simple answer is no. It is a Linux machine not windows.
This is the closest I've seen...

You need GoLauncher running, but that's really not a bad thing at all!
If you're interested, someone on the S2 forum has a thread about running Windows ME and XP on their phone. It's slow and crap, but if you're a big Windows fan then it may be worth a look.

This is more like a cry for help rather than a question and I believe this is the best place I could go to get the help I am asking for OK so here we go:
I have a HP TX2Z TouchSmart PC and I have just started this forum http://touchswipe.com now here is the problem there is almost no touchscreen apps or games for the windows touch screen PC and I know in Jan when Apple comes out with their tablet they will be porting their some odd million games and apps for the Iphone over to it . So here comes my question/call for help.
Can someone here or a team of people somehow port the windows mobile games and apps to the windows PC OS like vista/7 or even create a windows mobile apps and games converter that makes them from .cab to .exe and it installs it like a regular windows 7/Vista app or game.
This is huge and it is something that thousands of people have been praying for ever since the Tablet PC made an appearance. I know you'll probably just laugh at me for asking this but I hope with all I am that someone is there who can make this a reality because there is so much that would be able to be done with the touch PC if it could utilize winmobile stuff like point UI for 1 small example.
Thank you for your consideration and patience

No. What a silly question.

a simple no its not possible would have been fine.
he was asking a simple question that he was un-sure about.
maybe silly question to you, but he wasnt aware so it was a normal question for him to ask.
That is not a silly question; asking if your phone works better with makeup on, is a silly question ; but not this one. That is the type of questions people need to ask so they do not mess up thier phone (though this would not screw up a phone). Everyone was a n00b once. Props for asking!
Anyways, as for your question, the simple answer is no.
Basically windows moible uses .cab files, they are written in windows code (c++ usually) and are packed and installed in a way that that is used by windows. An .apk file is simular that it is a package of files, however it is writen in linux code and stored in a competly different way. It is like trying to install a Mac app on a computer with windows; just can't be done. And since the coding and how the files work are so different, it is very difficult to port a cab to android and an apk to windows mobile.

Well, someone could port the dalvik-vm to win and then maybe handle the unpacking of apks and enhancing the win dalvik...like a VMWare Player for Windows Mobile (so it is possible to run Mac on a Win PC )...
If you're bent on having a certain Android app working on your WM phone, check to see if it's supported by XDAndroid - the project for porting Android to Windows devices. By running Android on your phone you can install and use just about any application from the Android Market. Right now, the Topaz, Rhodium, Raphael and Diamond have the most support.
Is there a way to do it? or someway to port it? I have a program I use constantly and dont feel like purchasing the mobile version since I spent 60 on the desktop version.
nope
The short answer to your question is "No."
The long answer to your question is "Are you kidding? No."
Just playing with you, I hate getting flamed by nerds. Your phone runs Windows CE, a vastly different thing than desktop windows. That's why they make the "mobile" version. My suggestion, though: you won't like the mobile version (of whatever software) if you're used to the desktop version...
Hey Guys,
1) sorry if this has come up before, search-fu is weak and nothign relevant seems to come up with the "Similar threads" thing.
2) My provider has all but forced me off Windows Mobile, which is fine, since with sideloading being such a hard task on WM7, and that I would have to pay alot to get a WM7 handset and go up monthly fees too, i'm not too fussed.
So i've taken the plunge and gone for an Android phone, trouble is I have a few apps on my old windows mobile device I would love to run on Android... number 1 priority being TomTom Navigator, which yes, I could repay for, but I don't see why I should have to.
So, is there any software in the works that will let me run Windows Mobile based apps on an Android phone?
many thanks
Sorry for bringing an old topic back into the daylight, but I have the same thought. I definately need some apps of WM running on Android when I'll buy my new phone, so this kind of emulator would be a major reason to switch from my outdated Touch Pro. Couldn't something like Haret be created, just to run Windows Mobile, not Android?
There is no, for now
thanks for clearing that out, that's a pitty. But how about the future? Is it at least theorically possible to create something to have this kind of dual boot? Would Android community and developers be interesting in this?
Yeah I wish that was possible, but no.
Hey I'm new here and I have been following the hacking forums for the Windows Surface RT, I have some questions I need to ask the dev guys but have to post 10x before I can ask on the discussion.
1. The ClassicStartMenu tool is amazing, but seems to be stuck on the old looking Windows 98 menu style (After uninstalling and reinstalling, I cannot switch to the Windows XP or the Windows 7 style. Thank you so much for the program and help.
2. Quake is badass on a Surface, the original version plays flawlessly, but I cannot run Quake 2, says there are missing files.
3. CrystalBoy emulator is completely not working, it cannot load any roms, just has a red X across the screen.
Well that's all I'm needing help on thus far, keep up the great work you guy,s even if these problems cannot be fixed I am a huge fan.
