great! thanks.
it isn't really working well so far on surface 3, guess that is screen resolution related. the green box appears too far up in the screen, and box is too narrow to write in.
any idea how to change the config settings xml files to correspond to the surface screen resolution ?

Works Great on Surface Pro 2
Has anyone considered privacy concerns regarding password input?

Making the latest beta work on Surface or other tablets
I followed the following steps.
1. First you need to get the beta file from lenovo's site
2. Then, extract the msi file from the setup file.
To extract the msi file I opened command prompt, navigated to the folder where the setup exe is stored and ran this:
Code:
WRITEit-Setup.exe /A
This will prompt you to select a folder where all the contents will be extracted. You will find the msi file in that folder.
3. Then follow the instructions (use google translate for english) in the article by tabletpccorner to remove the Lenovo check from the msi file. (Steps 1 & 2 in the article are already covered above)
I can't paste the article link as I don't have enough rep, but you can find it by searching for 'comment essayer lenovo writeit' in google and go to the tabletpccorner dot net article
Basically, you need OCRA to be able to edit the MSI file and you delete the check for Lenovo devices and then proceed with the installation.
I used the latest beta and it works really well with Surface Pro 3. No scaling issues as mentioned above.

Dear Gary ans Srikz
I've tried many options but failed so far to extract the msi from the newest beta "writeit-setup.exe" let alone edit it.
the /A thing doesn't work on my windows 8.1.
can you please post an edited newest beta ?
thanks!
- update - i managed, solved

new version 1.043.0 now available!

Anyone got this working on the Surface Pro 3? I cannot believe Microsoft has not seen the value in this approach and added it to Windows 8.1.

Hello !
Someone can share the 1.2.7.0 WRITEit.msi version, because the last (1.3.29.0) doesn't look to be installable on Surface...
Thanks a lot !

Nobody ? ;-(

No Working
I follow the steps for the installation of the last version, and it has gone right.
But after the installation the software doesn't work and launches the message that it works only with lenovo.
Any idea?

Lenovo added an extra layer of device control at loading of the app... maybe someone could look into this...
One more note: the app used MyScript software as OCR, and not Windows native character recognition... I really hope MS creates something similar to this app...

yeah so i got as far as installing it.
but now when I launch the app it *****es about it only running on a lenovo...
Any way to bypass this?

I installed the .msi file in this thread and it works without problems. It only asks to update whenever the app is started, but you can ignore that.
I did try to install the updated version from Lenovo site using the method suggested here, but it does not work, and I get the same warning as you do.So my suggestion is to use the older .msi version that you find in this post.

For me the .msi file in this thread is not working so good.

My name is James and I am the project manager for WRITEit. We will be launching our 2.0 beta at CES 2016 in a week. Before that, I wanted to share with you the code so that you could test it out for yourselves. No hack is required because we will be offering WRITEit on all OEMs going forward. We are radically changing the direction of WRITEit, but we still have the core handwriting -> text conversion that you all know from the 1.x builds. Going forward, we are putting more emphasis on annotating over the entire desktop screen. This can work on touch and pen machines, so you aren't limited to only having a pen equipped machine.
Remember that this is a beta... I welcome any feedback from the community. You can PM me on here or email me directly at [email protected]

Yes, I just tried out the Android Screencast. It seemed to work well. I am not sure what I would use it for, but it did work.
I didn't try ASM because I use DDMS for screenshots. DDMS is built into the Android SDK and works perfectly without needing anything extra.
Thanks for the contributions though.
greek keyboard
although it is rather slow, it works Ok.
I can use the english keyboard for composing messages, working with contacts, but when I turn the PC-keyboard to the greek language, I cannot use it with the phone.
Any suggestion pls?

Screencast is great for people like me who are physically disabled and can't use their hands. I used to use EveryWan Personal Edition by Sparus Software which only works with Windows mobile devices...hope screencast will become as good as (or better than) EveryWan!

[Q] Nexus 5 & MAP SMS driver for Windows 8.1

Hello.
I recently purchased Nexus 5 and would have to say it is one of the best phones I've ever owned.
I use Bluetooth 4 on my computers and decided to join my N5 to my computer. I was going through my Device Manager looking for this WiFi adapter I plugged in and noticed I was missing a driver for something. Come to find out, it was for "MAP SMS" which is 'Message Access Profile' for what I believe is to allow me to send SMS with my computer.
At work, I use Lenovo computers and noticed they allowed me to do this kind of thing already on my old Galaxy S3... but I am using Windows 8.1 Pro and my main computer is custom built and not OEM so I appear to be missing such drivers and functionality.
Does anyone know of any drivers that are particular to MAP SMS on Windows 8.1?
Code:
BTHENUM\{00001132-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb}_VID&0001000f_PID&1200
I would normally grab certain parts of the HW ID and go to pcidatabase.com to find drivers but I am not sure how to proceed.
I also did search xda-dev forums for MAP SMS and did not find anything from the built in search. I did do a Google Search for Hardware ID and saw a bunch of unhelpful comments from MSFT staff.
I have Nexus S and on Windows 8.1. Looking for the driver too. I have the same Hardware ID as the one you posted. Please let me know in case you find it.
Need same driver

For Windows 7 64 Bit - testet and works fine on Sony Vaio VGN-TT11WN
Windows requires two important files to install the device - "BthMtpEnum.sys" be found in the directory [root]\Windows\System32\Driver and "bth.inf" be found in the directory [root]\Windows\inf. Before you can install the driver makesure the two files are properly installed on your computer and the Versionnumber is at least 6.1.7600.16385 for "BthMtpEnum.sys" and 6.1.7601.17514 for "bth.inf" . If not then try following: Download the file "BthMtpEnum.sys" from the Internet. I don't remember the adress where i found the file, but i am sure you can find the file quickly with google. Because this is a system file and must be registred as driver from Windows and therefore you must copy and paste the downloaded "BthMtpenum.sys" to your system directory. By default for Windows 7, this is: C:\Windows\System32. If you use a 64-bit version of Windows, you should also place BthMtpEnum.sys in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\. Make sure overwrite any existing files (but make a backup copy of the original file). Finaly reboot your computer. Sometimes it is possible that Windows shows a error message after the reboot. Then try following: 1. Open Windows Start menu and select "Run...". 2. Type CMD and press Enter. 3. Type cd (your root letter, e.g. C or D etc.):\Windows\System32 (example: cd C:\Windows\System32) and press Enter. 4. Type regsvr32 BthMtpEnum.sys and press Enter. When it's done we continue with the 2nd important file. Go in to your Windows\inf directory. Look at the file "bth.inf". If you find the file then go to my install instruction below else if you can't find the file you can manually copy the file taken from another source. You can found and take the file also from Windows 8/8.1 Version wich works fine under Windows 7. Only important is the samebus architecture(32/64) from the Version of Windows you use and the Version of Windows you want to use the file. I had success with the "bth.inf" from a Windows 8.1. You find the filein the same directory as in Windows 7 (windows/inf). Finally, copy this file manually in your Windows\inf directory (e.g. with a usb-stick). Reboot your Computer. When it's done you can install the device with the following instruction :
Install:
1. go in the Device Manager
2. select the Device and right click on it
3. select Update Driver Software
4. select "Browse my Computer... - Locate and install driver manually"
5. select "Let me pick from a list...."
6. unselect "Show compatible hardware" and than click on "Have Disk..."
7. Navigate to your Windows/Inf Directory and select the file "bth.inf"
8. On the left side "Manufacturer" select Microsoft and on the right side "Model" select Bluetooth-MTP-Deviceenumerator and click next to install the driver.
9. Done, enjoy.
P.S. 1. Possible in Step 8 Manufacturer can also named Generic. 2. Before last step to install the driver is possible that Windows show's a warning-info "driver is not digitally signed" - you can ignore this, click yes or next to install this driver anyway - it works fine.
Attention: This is my Interpredation the solution of this annoying problem because I had nowhere found a workingsolution in the internet. The approach has worked for me with the above-mentioned hard and software works. I can not guarantee whether this solution also works with other components. For safety please make a backup of your system beforeyou applying this solution way.
Thank you, i hope i can help somebody

Windows RT 8.1 - Jailbreak Sign Tool

Hello Everyone,
I've written a small tool that allows you to sign a single file or a complete folder. See attachments. It is quick and dirty. If someone wants to improve it, there is the source attached also.
Please note that this tool will sign every exe and dll files in all sub folders if you select "Sign folder"!
Best of all: It also runs on Windows RT directly
Have fun!
[Removed]
Hmm it seems to have some issues with signing some binary exe files that had been previously compiled and worked on RT 8.0. I'm guessing this has to do with Release vs Debug ARM binaries?

Follow the guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/wi...ent/windows-8-1-rt-jailbreak-exploit-t3226835
Hello, I know it's been a long time since this tool was made but would it be possible to add some kind of handler of errors to the signTool? It's becoming harder to use since programs are having more and more files and we have to close a little error message for every file otherwise the process is paused.
Even though this is pretty old post, thank you so much for this tool!
It took hours of trying to get .exes to work. The signtool.exe also didn't really work for me.
FINNAL IT WORKS!
There is an issue with this tool prompting you after every single file. I fixed it and also added some other minor things such as .sys file support. here it is
H, can anyone help me, I'm total noob, what is this signing? how do I sign this? I'm trying to have some apps works on the RT

Win86emu 0.6 for Windows RT 8.1 working

Hi,
I have uploaded a working version of Win86emu 0.6 ready for working in Windows RT 8.1 with jailbreak: http://www45.zippyshare.com/v/iMffGf8P/file.html
Instructions:
1. Extract all files to c:\ (it will create a x86node folder)
2. Execute c:\x86node\install\x86node.reg
3. Run c:\x86node\windows\postinstall.exe
4. For Windows 8.1, copy c:\x86node\Install\Windows 8.1\x86node\Windows\SystemNT\ntdll.nt.dll to c:\x86node\Windows\SystemNT\ntdll.nt.dll and override the current dll.
After this, you can run c:\x86node\windows\launcher.exe and choose a x86 exe to run (e.g. c:\x86node\windows\regedit.86.exe)
Edit: I forgot step 4
Attempting to run anything results with this error
The procedure entry point RtlConvertUiListToApiList could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\x86node\Windows\SystemNT\ntdll.nt.dll
This error comes up a few times after clicking through the application may actually run but wont function as intended.
Winamp 2.95 Installs, runs and plays Mp3's
CPU usage is around 13% idle 260MB ram usage​
VLC 0.7.2 installed, runs in a command line only, wont play anything.

Then, win86emu should be working ok. Not every app is supported. Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259449 for compat suggestions
I know, but it would be nice if you could include msu.dll that's the main problem (if it's possible to include)
Is this still being based off of ReactOS?
Edit: yes it is, too bad we couldn't get mamaich back on board to continue their development of this.

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 tutorial:
How to install Windows 10 on the Surface RT - Alexenferman
www.alexenferman.com
I followed the instructions but failed twice. Now I know what was wrong. The tutorial IS FINE, it works. The thing is you have to first apply a patched version of Windows RT8.1 and run some scripts, that was fine, now the specifics:
Don't "RUN" the scripts, do not double click, this was the issue on my side. It doesn't matter if you run the script as "Administrator", I repeat, in my case this was the problem, DO NOT RUN or just double click.
INSTEAD, open a CMD window elevated to Administrator privileges. Move to the location of the scripts, this means get into the specific folder, only then run the script.
This means, if you placed the script on a folder named "whatever", right clicking with administrator rights and then execute does-NOT have the same effect as getting inside the folder as in "CD\whatever" and then "name-of-the-script".
I tried several times and I can confirm this is the thing that failed on my attempts.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Being that said, that website has all the instructions and links. Follow the tutorial carefully step by step. Keep the files on a safe place, who knows how long those will be kept on the web.
After my failed attempts I tried the chinese tutorial posted on Youtube by cong cheng on his channel. It worked, it even has some scripts working as installer, yes it works BUT after taking a deep look it's a method that applies a set of files made for some Nokia device, while it works, it is in chinese, has some broken things and it is SLOWER than Alexen Ferman method.
In short:
- Chinese - applies an already customized W10 version, way slower
- Alexen - it is an installer, you end up with a much better version
Good luck.
So what did you follow? The forums here seem to contain loads of broken links. Love to try W10 on my Surface since it's only collecting dust in my closet.
Thread edited and updated above and below.
Regarding Windows 10 on the Surface RT (CHINESE TUTORIAL)
I have no idea what's the risk on using a chinese modified pack. This one is different to the one at Alexen Ferman website, here I didn't need to apply all those patches (extras, after finishing the install), instead it worked out of the box. It's the same release as far as I know, but it's been customized.
My experience, what works:
o Edge works, better than IE11
o MyTube works (Youtube works amazingly well on this APP)
o System not as fast as W8.1
o I just clicked "Activate Windows" the usual way and it worked
o Cameras work out of the box (front and rear), no patches needed
o Can run ported apps (Paint.net, Halite, etc).
o YES, you gain access to some other apps on the STORE but hey, read below
X Office was in chinese (preinstalled) and slower, couldn't change it
X Removed it and installed the Office package provided by Alex Ferman
¬ After reinstalling, Office now is FASTER (tested and confirmed)
X No alternative browsers (just some but it's just IE with skin)
X Was kind of tricky to remove chinese (there are still some traces)
X Store doesn't fully work, just allows installing whatever is in my library (owned)
X VLC is way slower and ugly, worked way better on W8.1RT
- XX The Brightness control is kinda broken. You have to disable automatic changes and use only manual (via button), only there you can apply diff real levels of brightness to the screen, BUT, it won't work forever, after a while it will get stuck and you would have to reboot and set it right after going to the desktop.
- XX I'm still exploring this, I don't fully like it to be honest. The touch keyboard works, yes but in my case at times stops making sounds, and also stops working. Unplug and plug again fixes this but... meh.
It wasn't that great, I was actually considering going back to Windows 8.1 RT.
Now the final install I have (Alexen method):
Everything works, you just have to follow the tutorial and you will actually install W10, it's not an out of the box ready image, it is an installer. The only broken thing so far is the brightness control as explained above (it's an issue with the release so it won't go away), and the store didn't work for me, but there is an alternate method to install apps described at Alexen website.
Other than that EVERYTHING is better, it's fast, decent. I'm keeping my RT1 with Windows 10.
Read carefully, follow each step and don't give up. That's all I can say.
I did manage to get this working on my Surface 2 myself, was an interesting experience I don't really have any need for this thing anymore, but I have been pissed about buying a locked out piece of equipment for 8 years, so more just to principal of the thing! Thanks to Alex for all the work.
How do you install office from alexenferman? I tried running setup, but it says this app cant run on your pc. Also have you found a program to un pack .7z packages?

Great that you got it working, now that you mention that you don't have any need for the Surface anymore, consider selling it to one of the member of the team working on modifications, unless you change your mind now that your surface works differently. In case you decide to move on, consider posting here on the Discord community

How do you install office from alexenferman? I tried running setup, but it says this app cant run on your pc. Also have you found a program to un pack .7z packages?

I simply downloaded the package and ran the Office Installer on the Surface (now with Windows 10ARM), your comment makes me think perhaps, you don't actually have a Surface with Tegra processor, please check. .7z? search for 7zip, that's the program to extract the files from the compressed package .7z

does anyone knows if it is possible to put google chrome book on W RT?

Nope, impossible. They didn't create a binary (executable app) for the platform and the way it's built (the source code) seems unlikely for someone else to do it.
Anyone interested please check the Discord link posted on this message.

I just got around to reading this. Thank you so much! I'm back on windows rt 8.1. One problem: Secure Boot is still disabled. Is there a way to re-enable it?

You should repart the drive using the official image downloaded from microsoft's site. If you want to come back to completely stock you have to re-install windows using the standard procedure, not the installation through wim file
im having an issue at the installing the wim using the dism. says system cant find the path specified. i verified the drive labels and all any ideas?
can some help me, after successful installed and load windows 10 on surface RT... when i want to run CMD as administrator. it gave an error "The Parameter is invalid".
Looking for some help, I got to the Win10 install stage and keep getting 0xc000000f blue screen error on Win10 boot. From the guide, it says I didn't choose to not copy system files when creating my recovery drive, but I didn't have any other options. I unchecked the only box available. Not sure what is wrong or how to fix. I can't reset, it asks me for my recovery drive, it doesn't accept the drive I created.
Edit: I ended up creating a new recovery drive from my Win10 PC, unchecked the box to copy system files, downloaded the Win RT recovery zip file from MS, copied the contents of that folder into the new recovery drive, copied the Win10 .wim from Alexen to the flash drive, and retried step 4 (I had already installed the hacked RT image and disabled secureboot, etc.). It is now booting, at least getting farther than it did before, after flashing the Win10 image.
Running into an issue right after the installing the patched image I get to the Region and Language select after the reboot and cannot select anything. After a bit the display just goes black. What can I do?
