I use laridian pocket bible which runs quite well on the HD2, it touch scrolls but you will need to use BsB Tweaks to pinch zoom. You can google it, hope this helps.
laridian is paid. Any free programs ?
If you can find an epub file version of the bible you can use it with htc's reader, which has all those functions.
Sorry ...

I myself am atheist, but I can imagine why someone would want a proper app for their device? How is this funny?
Touch Bible
I like what OliveTree has done with their Version 4 reader for the IPhone - The WinMo App is very similar in features and has access to their vast book store. (Good News) However, I have spoken with them about their plans for WinMo and unfortunately they have no plans to Develop for 6.x; (Bad News)
OliveTree:
Thank you for your interest and desire to help develop BibleReader. Unfortunately, BibleReader for Window Mobile is built on Windows Mobile 2001 technology. We looked into making it finger touch friendly and found that it was going to be easier to rewrite the app rather than updating. Since Microsoft is moving to Windows Phone (7) without backwards compatibility we decided to write the new version for Windows Phone (7). We had been waiting for this announcement before making a large commitment to Windows Mobile.

This leaves the touch bible market for generation 6.x of Touch WinMo WIDE OPEN. My wife and I both love our Touch Pro2s (gotta have the keyboard) and we need a Touch friendly Bible in it. We have no intention on jumping on 7 anytime soon. I am sure there are many more like us out here. with HDs and Diamonds etc....
Right now - I would actually pay someone to create a Touch GUI for OliveTree's current WinMo Reader App. It doesn't have to have all the features of their IPhone Version 4 - In fact we'd be happy with it just the way it is - just give us a better font, the Quick Nav buttons from their Iphone version4 and smooth flip scrolling and we'd be happy.
Their current reader is totally FREE - and they have a HUGE library of Bibles, Study Guides and other related books - so if someone was to create the 'right' reader app. They could probably make quite a few a few bucks as they really have no competition and will get no competition from OliveTree. In fact they would probably love it cuz they'd sell more books.
I am VERY serious about funding the 1st copy for my wife and I - with no desire for rights or ownership - so if there are any takers feel free to contact me. "colin at rhinoweb dot net"
I guess others that want this app could pledge to contribute to the cause here in this post.

It works great. Get it.
keep praying for it, and you shall receive this someday.
lmao. i agree.
I'm giggling too! Sorry... I don't mean to offend...
I use The Olive tree one Since I have it for iPhone and Android.
The purchases work on all three.
I use the tap scroll with no scroll bar, works great.
No, but if I see something I will certainly let you know.
Peace be with you.

I have Windows 8 developer preview on my laptop, but for some reason it seems I am not getting all the apps on the market place. Does the developer preview have a different store than the real Windows 8 on the Surface?
Since I am thinking about getting the Surface when my laptop dies, it had a clicking episode once now, can anyone tell me if these apps are there. As I am thinking about replacing my laptop with an RT.
-Is there a bible app, where I can fully read the whole bible? Without connecting to the internet?
-Windows movie maker
-paint
-audio editor
-sound recorder
-youtube downloader
-truecrypt
-QQ (a Chinese messenger)
-alarm clock
Or is there a place online I can check so I don't have to ask people to check for me?
I couldn't find the Q&A forum for the Surface. If this is in the wrong place, I apologize and feel free to move.
P.S. Is it just me, or does the whole forum feel more tablet friendly? Nice!
Yes you get most of the ones you want.
I don't believe you'll find Windows Movie Maker - I think the more media heavy stuff is reserved for the Pro version, but the rest looks doable. I do have a Surface RT but can't check one by one at the moment.
I was looking for the ability to browse the Windows Store from a PC as well, but I haven't found a URL yet. Hoping they come out with one soon like the play store has.

You can for the windows phone marketplace so I don't think it will be long.
As for Bible apps would it not be easier to get the bible from kindle then you can have it across all devices and it will bookmark itself for you. Just a thought.
First off, it is silly that I cannot post a reply straight into the thread, and have to create a new thread in an unrelated area of the forums, as I am a new user (or have less than 10 posts).
Ok, as regards the Windows RT and lock down of the Desktop Applications development, how do the internal programs get past this block? As per many other comments it would appear that Windows RT is a recompilation of Windows 8 and has many like for like .dll's, etc. If the Office 2013 suite can run under the desktop, is it because Microsoft has signed the app with a certificate that is not available to other developers? Does this mean that under the previous EU ruling they are breaching some law in that they are using resources to give themselves an advantage that other developers cannot take advantage of?
I think the only reason they have locked down Windows RT like this is so that this cheap OS does not eat into their regular Windows 8 sales. Certainly I bought a Windows RT device because it is more compatible with my work habits (due to Office 2013) than the Android and iPads I have used in the past. If I could easily use tools like PuTTY, then there would be little reason for me to use a normal laptop or other device.
I doubt Microsoft really watches these discussions in any serious way, but one of the key reasons I chose Windows RT over Android and iPad is because when I need the flexibility of many windows open at the same time and side by side I can do that, but when I want the uncluttered quick environment then New UI does that as well.
Samsung, with Android, is starting to allow a couple apps together, but try to run an Excel Spreadsheet and read your banking web site at the same time to transpose the figures into your budgeting file, and iPad/Android are tedious but Windows RT is a breeze, it is what Windows does best. Microsoft should understand that apart from everything else they do, they provide an OS and should let developers get the most out of that OS, just like Android and iPad developers can push those OS's.

What's more awesome is that new users can't post outside links either. This might be of interest to you www[dot]makeuseof[dot]com/tag/how-to-jailbreak-your-windows-rt-device-and-run-unapproved-desktop-software/
Thanks for the link
My post came as a result of researching the Jail Break idea, I had not seen that page yet. I downloaded the patch and it worked very well. Pity it does not detail why the program goes to the internet the first time it is run, but I assume it is to get the certificate?
Seems like most posters are really happy to have PuTTY working (which is exactly what I wanted). Is it hard to create a New UI App?, maybe someone just needs to compile PuTTY as a New UI app as a terminal emulator should be pretty straight forward.
While I understand that new Intel chips are just around the corner, Surface RT is only $400.00 (64Gb, Touch keyboard) so pretty cheap, so being able to sit on the couch and browse emails, internet and also manage my Linux boxes is really good.
I can do the same thing on my Android TAB, but it is tedious changing screens all the time. New UI has the same problem, always flicking between all the programs. This is what Windows does best, so don't understand why MS would take away from that tried and true model, except they are probably trying to protect their full Windows 8 investment. Instead what they will find is the Windows RT dies a quick death and that is a wasted investment (if that happens they should have just made a New UI only version and got Office to work within that environment if Office is the main reason for the Desktop in Windows RT).
Is this real?
Watch "Jailbreak my windows surface rt 8 1" on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RemBuY0InWM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda app-developers app
i love the way he said: it's not a fake, it's not a fake, but seems to be 8.0 Rt and not 8.1
Blatantly fake. The video focus is terrible, probably to hide the fact that the System info page doesn't say 8.1 on it anywhere (that I could see...), but there are plenty of other clues too. No Start button is the obvious one. The taskbar icons for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote but not for Outlook is also very suggestive. He also shows no actual jailbreaking process at all.
Oh, and this is neither development nor hacking. It belongs in the General forum, not here. I get that you are Really Excited about this and think it is Magic an all, but please do at least attempt to follow the forum rules...
Video is fake...thread closed!
Short version: Hi, I need help to install paint.net on my Surface RT (running Win8.1RT, no jailbreak), been reading the threads around here but having absolutely no luck and I'm lost, many threads have deleted comments and I'm not sure on the continuity or lost content, if someone could guide me I will be really thankful.
Long version:
Hi, I'm late to the Surface RT party but I've been a reader of this website for years finding solutions and guidance to solve diff device issues. Found several sources (including this forum) explaining Paint.net (and other apps) can be somehow installed and run on the Surface RT, but honestly I'm lost with the "how". I'm not lazy, I do read and do my research before asking, it's just... the threads don't seem complete.
- Several threads have broken (download) links
- Several threads have deleted comments and I'm not clear on the continuity of the conversation
- I'm really confused on the jailbreak(s) and conflicts with update packages from Microsoft (producing interferences)
- Found some zip downloads identified for RT here and on other places with no instructions except "download" but the app paint.net does not run on my Surface RT, and after trying on my Win10 machine they do run on X86 (dual code? or probably not ARM after all)
- Found videos about what to do to install and run "untrusted apps" but that didn't help, and the videos have lots of comments stating it doesn't work and how it makes no sense the "untrusted" mention regarding instructions for apps found on the Store
- Found a list of ported apps (here) but I think it's quite outdated, the packages don't work or are broken and 404 not found, etc.
- The instructions regarding an alternate Store don't sound complete to me, it didn't work (I couldn't even execute the exe on my RT) and besides I just need paint.net (and this doesn't appear on the Microsoft Store, so sideload using the tool sounds confusing to me)
I'm really lost, honestly the info seems broken, well, I understand it's been years and I'm late to the party. My main interest goes to paint.net, perhaps notepad ++ and that's it. MyTube does work on my device. Interesting because when I tried several times it didn't appear on the MS Store, but somehow one day it was there and I was able to install it, I like it and does what I need.
Why playing with a Surface RT on 2020? I like it, specially the battery life, it's a nice device and does what I need (except simple image manipulation and sure, no modern internet browsing).
On a sidenote: updating to Windows 10? (RT / ARM)??? It's been a couple of months of reading and researching and I'm not sure, I don't see lots of people genuinely happy. It is not a risk I'm comfortable taking, the instructions are long and technical (I could put effort on that) but I see too many people complaining on issues, bricked devices, some report the instructions not working and some reporting the work wasn't really worth it at the end. Besides in my case when I tried came across a message stating bitlocker being active (yet it's not applied to the disk), there was an option stating "skip this drive" but I decided to stop and didn't continue, I'm not sure what does that mean, "skip?" would I loose space on the disk?. Well I'm not making two questions on one thread, just discarding the options to have a better RT, and updating to Windows 10 still doesn't feel safe to me. If anyone could share some experiences, freedom to install some additional apps, better browsing or performance, I will be happy to read.
Thanks in advance.
I cannot provide any assistance but I want to add that I am too on the same road. I have a functional RT and wouldn't mind meeting it up but I would like to have a fighting chance. Unfortunately, like you said, the info is incomplete or outdated.
If anyone has knowledge of the complete requirements to put a Windows 10 on this, or make it otherwise more useful again, it would be highly appreciated.

Exactly. I've seen great effort from old forum members over this, but I guess many are retired and others are tired of talking about the topic, and yes, many bits of info are missing or outdated, some threads are impossible to follow, specially now after the forum upgrade (removing the dead messages).
Regarding upgrading to Windows 10, you can check here

How to install Windows 10 on the Surface RT - Alexenferman
www.alexenferman.com
Beware, it might not work and as stated by the author: you could end up with a bricked device.
There are lots stating they could do it and now have Windows 10 on their Surface RT. There is even a guy right now selling one locally already with W10 (but way too expensive). Just as this topic on installing stuff, I also found the same in regard to W10: lots of messages but little meat, and rarely a detailed or serious report on how it went, while there are also reports of bricked and failed devices.
This might be of your interest:
Being that said... I can tell you I tried, but it didn't work, my story was posted here:
Windows 10 on Surface RT working (edited thread)
Read carefully, this is about the installation of Windows 10 ARM32 on the Surface RT1. Previously tried the Elektrohax tutorial (video on youtube and also posted at Alexenferman.com) but I was unlucky on my attempts. This is the mentioned...
forum.xda-developers.com
BUT... I got lucky, my device is not bricked and I managed to install and keep the patched version of Windows 8.1 for the RT, I have that one now, applied the patches just as if I was going to install again Windows 10, but I didn't, it remains as it is in that step.
What I have now is the same device with a different W8.1 RT, more space, everything works, and I can run ported apps (I now have Paint.Net, Filezilla and others). I still don't have a better internet exprience but I like things as they are right now. The speed of W8.1 RT with the extension of new apps.
Perhaps this is helpful to you, of perhaps you get to overcome the obstacles I found and get W10 on your device, good luck, whatever happens: confirm, this is useful to new people trying.
Updated: it works, finally got W10 installed based on the video tutorial and the steps described at Alexen Ferman website. Some details here:
