After patching signature checks out of winload, and adding the halexts and registry entries for those, I had to patch 1 byte in the kernel, without which a SECURITY_SYSTEM bugcheck happens during boot.
I haven't fully added any drivers yet, other than the halexts, i'll be doing that soon. So right now touchscreen doesn't work etc.

Awesome work! These efforts are the reason I created my tool! I'm sure more of these cool hacks will follow.

are you write instruction on installed lumia devices, after 100% work build?

different lumias use different driver sets.
I will probably try to get some drivers working in this WinPE then nothing more, this was a proof of concept. I have a DragonBoard 410c that I aim to use for WoA experimentation when i get a power supply for it, so...

Are you will add mass storage on lumia(Huawei w1 have uefi with mass storage)?

This is funny and interesting, but almost useless.

Progress, if you could call it that. This is from when I was trying to find out what the drive mappings were so I could dump stuff out to Data partition. Turns out most of the drivers show up fine...but not touch for some strange reason!

Yeah ! Very nice project ! I keep my fingers crossed for you
I tried run RT on my Huawei W1 . It was in 07.10.2014

I'm curious (and a bit of a noob, I haven't touched custom WinPhone ROMs since the 6.5 days on a diamond 2) but do you guys think it'd be possible to grab a working version of IE (metro and / or desktop version) from a win RT tablet, and inject it into a WinPhone custom ROM like we did with cab files in 6.5? Or even go a step further and get full desktop versions of File Explorer, Task Manager, hell even Office running on a phone device using this tool? This would kinda be huge for me, at least until phones start shipping with a x86 CPU that we can do this stuff more easily.
Massive kudos to you dude!

I'm not expert on Windows RT/Mobile/Phone, but I'd say that there is too much missing in Windows Phone to be able to do that. It doesn't have Win32 AFAIK.
Of course, prove me wrong please.

Preview of the G1-Dream ROM

Ok guys, the ROM it's not much customized, there is inside just the HTC YouTube player, for the rest it seems a clean Android base system.

It's very difficult because the ROM it's de facto a linux system with his initrd, totally different from our actual HTC ROM.
there is an sdk for android.. jus google it and u will be sure to find it
did you take those screenshots?
If I buy the HTC Dream in Taiwan,
with a traditional chinese ROM,
do you think it will be easier to flash the ROM compared to windows mobile?
I usually wanted to buy a HTC Touch Pro in Taiwan,
but if flashing the ROM doesn't work right,
the phone is waistet money.
But Android is open, so it will be easy no?
i'm happy to see you are working on this i like this OS and want to have it running on my Polaris instead the R1 Syrius .
Thanks for the work you made.
Ignore this post
if you guy want to run a sample
i gave instruction in my thread

I remember time when I tried to put Linux mandrake on my laptop 5 years ago. It was disaster and a lot of headake during 5 month before I could get drivers for integrated ATI 3D chip and AMD cool n quite module. So I guess you need to bee big pro to make all neccessary drivers for each device to make android working , for example on Polaris

On your laptop, why don't you just get a LiveCD or LiveDVD? Runs the entire operating system off of a disc, no need to install anything. Just boot up, choose "boot from CD" and you're good to go. Linux = Godly

There were live CDs as long ago as 8 years. Knoppix was one of the first (and best).
Linux has come a long way since then. As long as you're not buying serial-number "1" of any piece of hardware, you should be ok nowadays.

Windows 95 running on stock Transformer!

Been playing around with my Stock TF101 and I finally got Windows 95 running on it!
Keyboard, trackpad and touchscreen all work perfect. It actually runs pretty fast too!
I used this app: DosBox Turbo

It was really simple...
Here's what I used:
- Version 1.1.5 of the app, makes disk read/writes much faster!
- Windows 95 SDcard/usb version. (i'm not allowed to post the link to this - search google).
Just install the windows 95 to your sdcard, type win and wait a few seconds and then Windows 95 starts up and is fully usable! Don't forget to shutdown windows after you are done, otherwise you'll have possible disk corruption and scandisk will want to run at the next startup!

I can't find the sdcard/usb version anywhere on Google. It just gives me weird site results. Can you please be a bit more specific at least?
I'm wondering also if maybe the USB version of Win XP would work maybe??
This is a very interesting find nice work.

What can you do with it? Can you run Windows based programs on the TF?
Im sure Win98 SE or TE Plus! will work on it with the right tweaks.
Yay! I wanna run a 17 year old OS on my TF. Please show me how!

Are you running that NATIVE? No.
Useless outside when you're on the road and not near your PC. If we could get windows 98 running on this maybe we can get some use out of it. Asides from that it's fun nostalgia
DOSBox is an awesome app for playing old school DOS games such as Doom and Command & Conquer even running DOS based versions of Windows.
This Android port of DOSBox is pretty cool especially for the ASUS Transformer. DOSBox has always been a must have application on my PCs and now it's a must have app on my Android devices as well!
I have tried this app, it works great, but i cant run windows, beacouse i didnt find the usb version of win95. Can you post here the link with * instead of some word?
Thanks
No that would be considered posting Warez and that is strictly forbidden here have to be resourceful
I dont need the download link, only link to the page with isntruction tu run the windows.
Just a bootable win95 should work, you can download a image of the disc and extract it to ur sdcard
Winxp and higer wont run, only dos-based systems

Play Android Games on your Pc With BlueStacks Beta 1

I posted in the 3d forum, but will re-post for all here:http://bluestacks.com/
BlueStacks' NEW Android App Player for PC. Run android apps on Windows PC.
BlueStacks just opened its Beta doors a few days ago.
If you own a Window’s anything (laptop or desktop), you MUST try out BlueStacks App Player.
It is not slow and jerky like phone emulators or like Amazon’s virtual playground for some apps in its appstore.
Of course, not every app will work with BlueStacks, but SO MANY of them do. It is worth playing with.
Your Phone Will Sync All The Favs!
Another great perk is that you can link your phone to the app player on your laptop or desktop with their Cloud Connect app.
This app installs on your Android phone and allows you to pick and choose which apps from your phone you want synced to your desktop.
You will have access to the Amazon AppStore and Get Jar and a few other appstores right out of the gate.

that would be awesome on windows 8 with a touch screen monitor, some hardware maker should bundle this with their touch laptop or windows 8 tablets as they will auto inherit 1000's of touch apps or an android vendor should integrate with their android pc suite like samsungs kies if it ever gets fixed

I like this, it makes it look like a tablet. Hopefully a future update is to make it look like ICS rather than Gingerbread.
A nice feature I found out accidentally was that if you have a webcam plugged into you computer then you can use the camera app to take pics with it.

The ARM emulation can be a bit slow, not optimal for running games. It will virtualize anything it can in x86, but most games are ARM only.
Bluestacks does plan on making a version for Windows 8 ARM tablets and since ARM can then be virtualized instead of being emulated it should have no performance issues.
wow this is interesting...! thanks for this
This seems nice, will try it asap.
i'll try this, thanks a loooot!
Having tried the BlueStacks emulator recently, I can attest that it's very easy to set up and get playing your favorite Android games right on your desktop. However, it's only available for Windows currently and you have to install the Cloud Connect app on your phone to get it to sync with apps only found in the Android market.
If you want something that actually runs the full Android OS on any platform (through VirtualBox) and doesn't limit you to GetJar or Amazon's app stores, you should check out Android-x86. I made a video yesterday showing how to install the Android-x86 emulator in less than 5 minutes.
Granted, it's not quite as streamlined as BlueStacks, but it grants access to all the Android apps you would normally have on any 4.0 device and seems to run much more smoothly.

Ever heard of mobilism ?

Very cool find OP. This thing certainly seems to be more than capable of most of our games: I just got a 4826 on Quadrant, and a 9633 on Antutu.
I don't know if this is the necessary way to do it, but I got ADW Launcher and Play Store installed by installing this, then going to system/apps and installing g1.apk. The default settings app is in there too.
And the settings app claims the model is "GT-N7000", or the Galaxy Note. Anybody know if this ROM is based on that, or if they are just trying to emulate the phone?
I'm trying for root now.
I would love to see a Linux client, but this looks cool.
how about emulate android app,, it can??
Superb Man. Good Work.

8.1 jailbreak problem and a usability question

I ran into a technical hurdle with implementing the Windows RT 8.1 jailbreak. I believe that it will only be possible to install the jailbreak while in a command prompt recovery console. You'd have to hold volume down, or other similar mechanism for non-Surface products, select recovery, then select Command Prompt. You'd have to, of course, be very careful when you do this, because the "format your SSD" options are right next to it.
Would this make you reluctant to install such a jailbreak? Once installed, it should stay persistent until a major upgrade event like a service pack or Windows 8.2/9.0.
The reason for all this is because it turns out that what I'm trying to do can only be done on the C: drive. In order to do my exploit, I need raw write access to the disk sectors, and Windows does not allow writing to mounted filesystems to even applications running as Administrator. Only kernel drivers are allowed to do such raw writes, and I'm trying to become a kernel driver. They actually do this to defeat attempts to defeat driver signing. =)
A way to bypass this, of course, is to get to the drive when it's not mounted. You can't lock the C: drive for raw writing without booting to another OS installation, such as the recovery image.
This method is somewhat risky; I'd be doing sector-level writes to your primary disk partition. There would be a number of precautions to try to prevent writing to the wrong location, but there can never be guarantees that I don't screw up the code and delete your priceless documents.
How do you all feel about this?
I would totally be fine with this. Can't wait to see exactly how the Jailbreak works. Anyways if you need a Surface 2 tester to test before the finish release I could help XD
I kinda guessed it would degenerate to this.
I won't mind, but then again I wouldn't consider myself an "average" jailbreak user, and compared to how easy (relatively) the initial RT8.0 jailbreak was this might be an issue.
Do we have any idea the kinds of people who are currently using the jailbreak?

Agree, still though release it but with quite a large USA-Style license. Like do not run this on your cat style
I don't think it matters that much (or at all) if it's a one time thing. While some people have the tendency to screw up everything regardless of how well the procedure is documented (you can't avoid those YOU BROKE MY DEVICE people anyway), they know the risks beforehand.
As for the data, the documents are most likely synced up to skydrive since the local-only account option is hidden pretty well in 8.1.
Also, just flashing a different ROM to a mobile phone can be much more complicated than your decribed procedure - just a couple of days ago I helped a friend to "upgrade" their Android phone and I had to install a SDK and issue some shady console commands over the USB in the recovery mode to get it to work. And as far as I could tell this is considered pretty standard.

I think it's OK. Do you remember rooting of first android phones? Working on ADB Shell and so on?
So one time boot into recovery and execute carefully some commands will be OK.
I think it's okay, too.
And if someone Says it isn't okay: Do you want to abandon all your work you have done for the Jailbreak so far?
I think a Jailbreak like this is better then none, and when there is no easier, less critical method to do it everyone should be fine with yours.
I'd be fine with it too. Especially since the procedure only has to be done once. Sure it might run the risk of data loss, but I'd be sure I had a backup first.

Hmm, not sure where I fit into that. IT guy that wants to make use of the RT desktop and isn't a hugh Modern UI fan, but couldn't afford a Surface Pro (and wanted the better battery life anyway). I can run Minecraft on it?!?
Thanks again for all your work on this jailbreak Myriachan! I'd pretty much written RT 8.1 off as I had no idea if or when a jailbreak would or could be developed. But now I'm kind of excited!
Looking forward to it.
I think most would be fine with it. If not, they do not have to use it.
Just put up a VERY BIG WARNING and beyond that you can't stop people from not following directions.
If it have a way to go back to original state (before jailbreak, without factory reset). I don't have any problem.
Hi.
I would do it, as long as I end up with Notepad++ and svn on my Surface RT ^^
Thanks for asking, though. I really like your attitude.
I'm sending best wishes and keep on looking forward to the mighty jailbreak,

yes, thats why i suggested a wrapper (translate the OpenGL code to DirectX code for the Cpu, we have been using that a lot in school projects latly) and modifying of the source code to allow such a thing

Sorry, I was joking. I've read all the queries about running Minecraft, both on this forum, and on Microsoft's own forum. Suffice to say, If someone does get Minecraft running on Windows RT they will be a rather popular person...
Also sorry for the off-topic bit...
Sounds good to me.
I think it'd be good for anyone who actually wants to jailbreak the RT, so no problem Just put up a warning and disclaimer (although I think that the people who wouldn't understand the technical details and warnings wouldn't read the disclaimers anyway...)
Thanks for your hard work. Looking forward for the RT8.1 jailbreak

[App] DroidID - Unlock your PC/Laptop using fingerprint sensor

Hi everyone,
I recently got a Galaxy S7 edge (wonderful phone!) and it came with a fingerprint reader, and as a developer, it was another feature a developer can build an app around. I became curious and I was looking for some apps that support fingerprint readers, and came across MacID, which is an iPhone/Mac app that allows you to use the TouchID sensor on the iPhone to unlock your Mac. Sadly, there's no Android alternative for it.
So I decided to make DroidID. It's a free Android app using which you can unlock your PC/Laptop using the fingerprint reader on your phone. It makes it very convenient and secure to unlock your device. All you have to do is pair the Android app with the client app, and whenever you want to unlock your PC/Laptop, you just press on the unlock notification and scan your fingerprint and that's it!
Requirements
An Android device running Marshmallow (or above), with a fingerprint reader
Any Mac running El Capitan (or above). Support for Windows coming shortly
You can download the app and the client from my website: www.suyashsrijan.com/droidid
It's my first cross-platform app! If you have any comments or suggestions or anything else, please feel free to leave them below.
I cant wait to try this on PC...i've been waiting for an app just like this...keep up the good work
First of all, great job! it's not perfect yet, but still works very well. Eagerly waiting for Windows compatibility.
I'm just wondering, though, what kind of data gets exchanged over the internet, and where exactly does it go?

Thank you Windows support is on the way, can't guarantee it will work, but I am working on it.

The only data exchanged between the client and the phone app is a command that the phone app sends to the client to tell it to unlock the screen. The password is stored securely in Keychain (encrypted) on your Mac, and your fingerprints are only read from your Android phone using official APIs; the app only verifies that the fingerprints registered on your device matches the one you scanned.
I waited so long for this software, looking forward to the support of Windows.

Thanks alot for the clarification! I'd suggest, if I may, copy/pasting this into the Play Store description and maybe the official project's website too.

I have already mentioned it in the Play store description, and also in the Help section on the app!
Push notification when Mac needs to be unlocked
Great app! What do you think about having the Android app pop up a notification whenever the Mac presents its lock screen? This way it'll be really easy to unlock from the Android lock screen. Thanks again.
Thanks, great App. But how do you send the data to Mac?
It's been half a year. I'm guessing the windows version is now vaporware?
Could not be set up on macOS 10.12 with android 6.0
Is it supported macOS 10.12? When I tried to set up on macOS 10.12 with android 6.0, it simply told me it is ready but nothing happened on my phone. How could I deal with it?
can u try to implement the same thing via bluetooth.....& if this is implemented via bluetooth it will be extremely faster like the apple watch....also the unlock is good....but still few features like your android app can be much advanced...

it does work with 6.0 & sierra 10.12.1
Unlocking a PC/Laptop using the fingerprint reader from the phone is an amazing feature. Need detail information.
Still no windows version?

Not yet, but maybe in the future.
Could you provide a news feed to watch or email alert for the release of a windows version?

Hello, I have succesfully connected the mac and the app, but whenever I try to unlock mac, the droidid types in the wrong password, even though I have double checked the password. I have android 7.1.2 and sierra 10.12.3. Can anyone help me ? thanks

Hi, I would suggest downloading the latest version of the Mac app from the website, as I recently fixed this issue. Please remove the old version from your Mac before using the new one!
