Hello,
I`ve searched over the net for an alternative to run windows apps on android. But, not so lucky so far ...
I don`t need a virtual machine (it would be nice ), just an emulator or something to run my favorite app my Tab 7.7.
You guys, have any ideeas?
Or, how about virtual desktop?

Im just wondering, what if android ran in a virtual pc on a desktop computer, but not like it does now. It ran, but was never seen! Download a android app, and run it like it was native to your os, but no android window, no slowdowns, and no resource wasting!
Is this possible? Its kinda like vmware fusion... but better! so?
'day everyone!
i have a dell xcd35 (aka zte blade gen 2) with android 2.2, stock rom.
the phone is rooted, and now has clockwordmod rom manager installed on it.
i previously used to own a windows mobile, and had an emulator software running on my windows 7 laptop. this s/w could emulate the screen from the windows mobile in real time on my laptop (with a manageable amount of lag).
i have the android sdk installed (cannot live without the adb shell, since i am a bit of a linux junkie), but i have been trying hard to negotiate a similar real time emulation of my dell xcd 35 phone onto my laptop.
has anyone managed to do it?
cheers!

Edit 1:
i have tried the webkey app. this app is not for me. the app routes your data through a webservice over a public (most probably secure) link, and is terribly slow. its a great app if you want to share your phone with someone remotely, but not good enough for continuous use through USB. also, it eats into your 3G network usage.
another try:
playing around with the emulator.exe in the android sdk.
i tried setting up a virtual device (avd). but not sure if this option can be used for emulating a phone screen, real time, on the laptop.
I'm busy setting up an Android tablet solution in the high school that I work at and was wondering if anyone knows of an ICS emulator which will run on Windows 7 which doesn't use the SDK.
It will need to be easily installed by learners simply by running a .exe and will need to be able to run .apk files.
If it doesn't exist, is anyone up to the challenge?
Never mind, I've found BlueStacks which looks like it should do the job
Hi,
I started experimenting with this idea. I have WP8 files extracted from a firmware file. I copied these files to my surface RT. I was able to run some WP8 applications out of the box. however, applications that require UIXmobile.dll (WP GUI) failed to run. Now both WP8 and W8 share the NT core. so some libraries would just work. now the main WP8 library UIXmobile.dll doesn't work out of the box. as it uses a different function to create the gui for its applications.
I was thinking of something similar to what has been done by "mamaich", to implement a library that will replace the WP8 call wtith the standard W8 call (for example: use createProcess instead of createApplication) and pass the common calls to the already implemented APIs.
sadly , It's a very difficult task for me to do. I'll be spending time on it but i can't promise of any fast results.
I'd like to thank the authors of these threads for their wonderful work:

Which apps worked without tinkering?
Oh, very cool idea. It would probably only work for actual WP8 apps at first (not WP7.x apps, as those would require either a Silverlight or XNA runtime), but the idea has merit for sure. It was speculated for a long time that running WP8 apps on Win8/Windows RT would be possible, as both are written against the WinRT API, but that never happened. If we can make it happen ourselves, though... that would be awesome.
Of course, ideally we'd want to be able to access the store, since there aren't a lot of WP8 app packages floating around where we could use them. That's probably a very tricky problem in and of itself, although you could try extracting the store EXE and seeing what is required to make it work...
I think windows phone(os) is just a min gui shell for windows rt.so its possible to run the shell in windows rt.and maybe a windows phone can run windows rt.

Not exactly. It's the same shell (well, the next rev) that was running on top of wince for WP7.
Is it an alternate shell (like Explorer), or a totally separate graphics subsystem?

there is a program called telwp.exe that was able to reach a certain point. I attached a screen shot of 3 different apps. 2 apps showed something before crashing (telwp, nokia_security). and the third app crashed with an error message. other wp apps usually crash silently leaving an error message about a faulty CoreUi.dll in the evenlog .
Hi guys,
Im new to this, ive watched tutorials on how to install emulators for apps and so far every single on ive tried gives me Virtual Machine error when i try open it for the first time.
I have tried Memu, Bluestacks, koplayer and Nox. All give me the same error, i desperately want to get an emulator setup on my computer because my phone is kinda slow for the modern games and i now work from home which would allow me to use my pc while i work too!
Any help would be much appreciated!
thanks in advance ;D
Did you enable virtualization in your BIOS?
