EDIT:
Now that I look back at this post I realize that I didn't really explain what I was talking about so I'm going to try to explain a little better.
What I am wondering is if it is possible to make a live wallpaper that would change its background image periodically, like in Windows 7?
I mean if it's possible to make an app that does that for 1.6 versions then that would be cool too, but yes I was just wondering if it is possible.
Sorry that I didn't get my thought's across correctly =/
That's not 'live wallpaper', it sounds like you want a program to change the wallpaper periodically.
Check the various wallpaper changers on the market, one of them might support that.

you mean a bit like live waterpaper wallpaper only with less imagination?
There already is an app on the market that does exactly that. You specify a folder on your SD and it changes your background periodically. Forgot the name though as I don't use 2.x roms for now. Something with 'background' maybe, but 'live wallpaper' as search term should do the trick.

No. Windows also could do that for years, using 3rd-party software. Now it's built-in.
Such thing in Linux is also provided by 3rd-party software, isn't it? And to be honest, Linux mainly consists of "3rd-party" software, so that kind of comparisons just doesn't make sense.

erm....NO!
windows doing it with 3rd party software doesnt count as it being able to do it for years
this has been available as part of DEFAULT installations with both GNOME and KDE desktop environments for at least 3 years
claiming that linux is all pretty much 3rd party software is a complete misunderstanding of how things are done
eg. gnome stuff is all interconnected - everything built on the same core code and libraries. compiz uses the same libraries and some of its own to do the coolness
To be honest, you can't just look down at Windows because it hasn't been able to do an unimportant feature like this. It is not a crucial feature to have.
i dont use the feature...
what bugs me is that microsoft and apple keep claiming to invent a whole lotta these things....
eg. aero in vista copied compiz, the new horrible task bar copies KDE (not a fan), multiple switchable desktops etc.....
anyway, lets get this back on course.....
i think having a live wallpaper slideshow creator would be a good idea...in my experience with the backgrond switching apps - they use excessive resources...more so than many of the stock live wallpapers do

I don't even use that feature in my Windows 7 or Super OS (Ubuntu derivative) partitions. It just feels more like an annoyance and a waste of CPU power.
At least Windows 7 and Vista have Live Wallpapers aka Windows Dreamscene .
backgrounds
There's a wallpaper app called Backgrounds which has this option. It has lots of FLICKR images and you can set favorites, dl them to the phone, or have them change on a schedule. Free app, and lots of quality images.

I've been looking for a comparable app to TouchPad for quite some time. There are a few Android applications that enable you to use your Android device as an input device but the ones i've come across require the use of a specific application to run on your PC while TouchPad can use just about any VNC player. Since i'd like to be able to seamlessly switch between my iOS devices or Android as an input devices i'd like to be able to run just 1 service on my computer (whatever VNC viewer I choose).
Does anyone know of anything available on Android that can do this?
Here is a link to TouchPad
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/touchpad/id297623931?mt=8
Like this?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Relmtech.RemotePaid&hl=pt_BR
Well that offers the functionality I'm looking for but it still uses a dedicated server instead of any standard VNC viewer like TouuchPad.
Try seaching for Touchpad then: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=touchpad&c=apps It should give your more results.

Dear all,
As we all know Windows RT/8's IE Metro browser has limited flash support based on a whitelist. However a lot of sites are not (yet) whitelisted and hence do not work as desired. So I did some digging in the whitelist mechanism and found a way to hack it.
Be sure to follow the following steps in respective order:
Open Desktop IE10 type ALT --> Tools --> Compatibility View settings. Now UNCHECK the last checkmark which says: "Download updated compatibility list from Microsoft". If you have done this, you will be able to locally change the whitelist without getting overridden.
WARNING: If this checkbox is checked IE will override your custom whitelist back to default on each rebout, so be sure to uncheck it..
The whitelist is named "iecompatdata.xml" and is located in this path (copy + paste in File Explorer or IE10)
Code:
%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IECompatData\
(Alternatively open File Explorer and search in C:\ for "iecompatdata")
As suggested by danchar4, you can open and edit this file directly with Notepad by pressing WIN + R and type:
Code:
notepad "%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IECompatData\iecompatdata.xml"
All whitelisted flash enabled websites are located in this file inbetween the following tags:
Code:
<Flash>
[...]
<domain>zumiez.com</domain>
<domain>zynga.com</domain>
</Flash>
To add a website to the whitelist, all you do is add your desired website inside these tags as follows:
Code:
<domain>YOURDESIREDDOMAIN.COM</domain>
Add as many websites as you desire...
Now we are almost done, one last task is to delete browsing histroy. Open IE10 Metro and click WIN+I (to open settings) --> Internet Options —> Delete browsing history
And you are all set and done. Flash is now enabled in IE10 Metro for the websites you have added to the whitelist!
Of course as with any hack, attempt only at your own risk. I am not responsible in case faulty behaviour occurs... That said, it should be fine
Kind regards,
Marvin

If the flash content is embedded as an iframe, be sure to also add the domain of the source of the flash content. E.g. be sure to also add the website where the iframe links to to the whitelisted sources, this is what will eventually determine whether flash will be activated or not for this website.
Does this method work for www.website.com?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If 'website.com' uses a standard flash plugin (e.g. if you can view the flash content on a normal desktop with just the standard adobe flash player plugin) it will work with this method. All this method does is activating the built in flash plugin for any website you have added to the whitelist.
I can not find the file "iecompatdata.xml"

If you can't find this file be sure to enable "show hidden files", this folder will show up now. Alternatively you can find it by searching C:\ for the query "iecompatdata", the file will now show up.

Be sure to delete your browsing history and refresh the page. If it does not work now, please be sure to check if you have added the website correctly (e.g. within <domain> tags).
After I have rebooted my computer, I have lost my custom whitelist!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Make sure you have UNCHECKED the last checkmark in "Compatibility View settings" which says: "Download updated compatibility list from Microsoft". If you have done this, you will be able to locally change the whitelist without IE overriding it automatically.
Marvin_S said:
After more thorough testing, I found that a domain with a wildcard will not work i.e.
Code:
<domain>*.com</domain>
Does not allow flash to work on all .com sites... so this solution is out of the window, unless somebody knows if a wildcard in this list is supplied differently. I could not find anything in the documentation regarding the use of wildcards in this list, so most likely its not supported.
Alternatively, we could create some kind of "community" maintained whitelist, where anybody can just add any website and we will then point IE10 to download a whitelist from this community maintained source (instead of from Microsoft).

Your welcome. Glad it was helpful, yes I have been less active due to obligations at the univerisity. If we find a better solution we will let you know.
Some kind of adblocker is also integrated in Internet Explorer. Go to Manage add-ons and then to Tracking Protection. Now download a couple of adblock lists. It is not as good as chrome/ff, but it gets the job done for the most part!
And take some time to get used to your new machine, its a beautiful device and only yet people are starting to explore it and develop for it. It will for sure be a highly demanded device and will most likely reach a lot of developer/hacker interest.

The restriction against other browsers is equally disturbing.
See here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-57431236-92/microsoft-bans-firefox-on-arm-based-windows-mozilla-says/
Even Google, who loves to push their own brand name through Chrome, saw the wisdom of allowing the customer freedom.
Lets not forget what, in large part, created Android's success - people jumped ship from Apple because they saw Android as an OS that allowed the consumer as much or as little customization as you want - you want it simple - they present a good out of box experience - you want something more, you can make changes.
We don't need two walled gardens.
Eh, that's just the restriction against third-party desktop apps. Mozilla even acknowledges that they could build a Windows Store app, and in fact they're apparently doing that (http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-57376421-264/coming-in-2012-firefox-for-windows-8s-metro/)... just for some reason they're doing it only for x86. Since Store apps, even for RT, are allowed to use native C/C++ and the compiler supports building them for ARM, I'm really not sure why they don't just recompile it for RT. Yeah, their JavaScript JIT would need to be changed, but they already have a JIT for ARM don't they? That's equally relevant for Firefox on RT in the Desktop or in "Metro" anyhow, so it would be a stupid thing to complain about. In any case, they could just fall back to interpreted JS.

I am not sure if this adds anything to the discussion. I don't own a Windows RT machine, but I was in Office Depot the other day looking at their devices. They had a Samsung ATIV Smart PC on display. So, I messed around with if for a while. I had read that other browsers were forbidden on the RT. I thought, I wonder if Google Chrome will run? So I installed it off the internet and it worked.
My question is this: Is it just the MS RT the locks itself down? Why did the Samsung allow me to D/L and install Chrome?

the software restrictions should be the same, the other limitation is that you can't just download x86 software and install it on the RT because x86 doesn't run on ARM processors, are you absolutely certain you were on an ATIV tab running Windows RT or just a samsung tablet running Windows 8 with an x86 processor? If it was already possible to install chrome on Windows RT it'd be all over the internet.

it's the samsung smart PC running on x86 hardware? (clovertrail or i5) if it is, then it's running full windows 8 and you can install any legacy apps (like chrome/ff) to your hearts content.
not to go off topic too much, but as to the earlier comment about freedom and choice being the reason android gained so much marketshare so fast. it has more to do with the combination of cheap handsets and carrier penetration, at a time when the iphone was locked to one network in the US and blackberry was slowly falling out of the consumer mindshare. yes, people like us who frequent xda might have moved to it because of the openness of the platform, but the mainstream market really doesn't care about that.
Guys, we are wandering too far off topic. I appreciate the discussion, but please let it be (somehow) related to ways of enabling flash on IE10 on Win RT and 8. The limitations of Windows RT are better to be discussed in appropriate threads
Did anybody do an experiment with this compatibility list? Or tried to deactivate it in its entire? A systems admin or IT pro might no some more details on this?

I added several websites and it worked fine. I'm a bit bummed as I think MS will find a way to over write the xml file in a masquerade windows update. As far as deactivation is concerned, I thought about making a backup of the xml file, and completely deleting the original to see if it works at all. What do u think?

Well I created a local account to test this. Backup the file and deleted the original. All the blacklisted sites didn't work. So its not 100% possible yet but I bet there's a reg option or even a security policy (secpol.msc) that will turn this check off completely. Perhaps a bit of poke around will yield some insights. I looked in secpol and didn't find anything. So that leaves the registry up for grabs unless they're pulling that wp hidden / reg lock down thing.

i bet its hidden, since if you want to add a developer website to test flash on you will have to create a reg key in a non existing folder in the ie registry settings called FLASH, so I guess thats the hidden folder. But I wonder if it is possible to somehow trace these folders. I personally dont know anything about the entire mechanism behind the comapibility view. I just discovered it by accident by figuring out where the whitelist was located. So far it seems that it does not take wildcards for domains and also shutting down the list in its entire does not seem to work. We can try to add a 'blank' domain but I doubt it will work.
Doesn't work for me
I am doing just as instructed. I do not know why it doesn't for me. I tried movie2k.to and myp2p, ibliz. None of them work

More likely is that it will download the default list, or the current list. I don't really see compatibility view as an issue. What you are getting is the ability to use the major Flash-enabled sites without any of the ad sites, built-in as opposed to using third-party solutions.

I know that Logmein does not have an app to support Windows RT but I was wondering if any of you great minds can make it work on this machine. I also have a Samsung Ativ 500T with Windows 8 but I want my Surface to be my daily driver. Without Logmein this cannot happen. Not all of my clients allow the port to be open for RDP and we handle a lot of sites.
I can log in with my account but when I attach to a computer (Active X script) it make me type in the words and letters and click the Send button for every action and the screen does not refresh.
Any of you know a work around or how to make this work?

I hope this happens as well.
I've started using Team Viewer Touch on my surface. It seems to work just as well as logmein and as a bonus, it works on a LAN as well.

The problem with Team Viewer is you cannot install it on a Server for free. We handle servers on a daily basis so the Team Viewer option is not feasible unless we want to spend the $3,000 for unlimited installations and we don't just to get Surface RT working.
I know we can wait until Windows Pro, but just seeing if someone has a workaround for now while we wait the 3-4 months for Pro.
I also rely on LogMeIn for my IT business for supporting multiple clients.
My workaround is to RDP into my Win8 desktop at home, then LMI from there. This works great for me, even while WiFi tethered through my LTE phone.
How far are you guys getting with logmein on the RT? I can actually get into my remote machines if I hit the 'click here if you don't see the active x bar'. I lose certain features like switching monitors on dual monitor machines though. I also have logmein central which may be why I have that option?

I would do that but I am running an iMac at home. I have Windows dual booted on it but I would have to remember to change it to that OS everyday when I left and stuff.
Too much of a pain.
We called Team Viewer and they have a $1,500 option but that is still too much to pay for something that should be so simple to use on the Windows RT device.
If we don't get it running we will just get Samsung Ativ Smart PC 500T's to use. I know they work. I just love the form factor of the Surface.
In think that we will see a version of logmein very soon taking in consideration that they already release join.me

Yeah I hope so. We really love Logmein otherwise I wouldn't even be asking.
I ended up installing Windows 8 Pro on my bootcamp partition on my iMac and allowing remote desktop. I will just use it this way until Microsoft release the Pro version of the Surface.
The Surface Pro will be the sweetest technical device in a long time.
Sort of related but I have been using my Windows Home Server and it worked great for remote control of my home pc.
All free past the hardware and software purchase. Likely some old ones out there for sale.

I had to attach this in 2 parts because its quite large (well.. QtWebKit is large I should say). You'll need to remove the trailing ".7z" before extracting -- XDA didn't like files with a .001 extension.
I haven't compiled all the plugins, but the browser itself appears to work great! Enjoy!
Cheers!
EDIT: my bad.. the original attachments didn't have SSL or correct image support.. fixed now. Please re-download.
EDIT2: i've noticed that bookmarks, HTML5 video/audio, and the RSS reader appear to be not working correctly -- I'm investigating why that is. FWIW -- Qupzilla on Windows8 doesn't support HTML5 video/audio out of the box either. Flash simply won't work because the FireFox flash plugin isn't ported to ARM by Adobe.
EDIT3: Bookmarks and RSS reader now working -- please re-download. Still tackling HTML5 video/audio support... its currently a 'broken' feature in my Qt webkit build.
Very cool! Which JS engine is it using? I'm guessing it much be interpreted, unless you managed to get it to JIT to THUMB-2...

Yeah.. interpreted. The engine is the QtScript / JavaScriptCore in Webkit from Qt.

Would be nice to get it to JIT to THUMB2... but honestly I'm looking to fix all the HTML5 issues and getting a fully functioning replacement for IE. Performance isn't my main concern right now.
Cheers!
update
Bookmarks and RSS reader support is now fixed. I've uploaded new binaries, please re-download Sorry for the problems. I'm still working on HTML5 audio/video support.. fingers crossed I can get it sorted out. Dealing with Qt using Visual Studio is not fun.
update
Just thought I'd update you all to know that I haven't forgotten about getting this working with HTML5... just the opposite actually. I've burned many hours trying to get h264 encoded video to work with QtWebKit. If you troll on google, you can quickly find out that its not as easy as it seems.. and Windows RT just makes matters worse.
Long story short, I have all the bits building correctly but the wmf engine doesn't seem to work correctly on Windows RT. I'm not sure why that is. I've fixed at least 2 bugs that was making the browser crash, but its going to take a serious debugging session to figure out exactly what I need to fix and/or rewrite to get functioning video. I haven't given up though.
In other news, I've added enough features to QtWebkit such that Qupzilla is scoring higher than the built in IE browser in terms of feature set... so once I get HTML5 video working.. it should be a great browser.
I can't get this to work for some reason. I keep getting a WinError.
I removed the trailing .7z and I am opening it with Extractor RT from the Window store. I have downloaded both files.

Did you try extract it with 7-zip for ARM?
Yeah, I just removed the extension, then opened the .001 file as an archive using 7-Zip; it extracted very easily.
I take I need to be jailbroken to install this? Because I tried to install 7zip for arm, but kept getting signature issues, and two unzip apps I tried from the app store weren't able to open it.
Yes, of course. That's the point of the jailbreak (installing apps like this).
Thank you for clearing that up.
SSL Not Working
Hello. I know this thread is old, but I was checking to see if there is anything I need to do to get SSL working on Qupzilla. I'm able to load up normal URLs, but SSL isn't working. I downloaded the latest that is pinned to OP, btw.

Thanks for the reply!
An alternative to IE sure would be useful
I am NOT able to use the browser. All sites automatically use https . Help

Vivaldi just released a ARM Version of their browser, usable on Rasberry Pi. Is it possible to get it on our Win RT Machines?

Possibly, but only once the source code for the ARM version is released. It currently isn't available.
