Heya
I'm pretty interested in a miracast reciever for Windows RT. I know the APIs are already there, but it seems like there is no nativ windows rt app in the store. So do you guys know of another app that works?
AirServer could be a solution, but it works with QT5 and that hasn't been ported to RT yet, as far as I know.

As far as I know, I do not believe you can stream a device through miracast to the RT device's screen. You are right that the APIs are there, but I don't know if RT is advanced enough to handle that.

I'm pretty sure it would work fine with the Surface 2 and the Lumia 2520. Probably not with the other devices, because they don't support Miracast at all.

I know that they utilize different processors, but i didn't know if anyone has seen or heard of any one installing windows 8 on the Tab 2 10.1? I would love to set up my tablet to run both operating systems, but I haven't been able to find anyone with Windows 8 on their Tab yet... Does it sounds like something that might be possible in the future?
The only thing I know about is Launcher 7. Don't know how it would look on a tablet.

windows is closed source so the easy answer is no, you will never see that.

Looks like this is only available on phones... It won't allow me to install on the Tab 2 10.1, but I am gonna try it out on my phone, might be fun to play with. I am also going to try out the Splashtop Win8 Metro Testbed when I get home, looks like it could be a good alternative...

Since win8 is closed source, chances are no. If they somehow open it up then good chance yes.
Splashtop Windows 8 Testbed
OK, so I think I found something that will do the trick. Its called splashtop and it streams your windows 8 on a PC to your tablet. And quite well I might add. I haven't tried it via internet but via local network it works great... I really dig it... not to mention it finally forced me to play around with the new windows OS...
why
why we have windows when we have open stable updated android os?
Don't get me wrong, i love ICS, but I also wanted to test out the windows 8 touchscreen abilities without having to buy a windows tablet.
Hi there,
The app you're using in an RDP or VNC app, which will stream your login sessions to your android. You can try also LogMeIn, PocketCloud, etc. There's quite a bunch of those apps you can use. But its really not the same as having Windows 8 as the OS of your tablet.

WinRT8.1
Windows RT 8.1 is built for devices running ARM architecture the only problem is that you can only install it on devices that already has windows on it. So if you could figure out a way to install it on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tablet I'm pretty sure it would work.
You can't.

Hi all. Im sure that Surface is powerful device.I am a developer and I use VS and SQL server.I'm asking to you guys that surface can work well? I mean,for instance,Im working on a project on my desktop with these programs,can I be able to run my project in surface perfectly?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I'm almost sure that you won't be able to use those on the RT ARM version (AFAIK there aren't even ARM versions of VS and MSSQL, at the moment).
Also, Visual Studio is something badly heavy... so I doubt that they will compile it for the ARM tablet.
About the x86 Surface, well, it's an Core i5, 64bits! There will run almost everything.
If it works on any windows 8 i5 laptop, it will work in surface pro. Avoid surface RT like the plague though.

Maybe in the future there might be an Visual Studio Express addition for Windows RT.
They managed to port entire kernal from x86 to ARM and VS is a x86.
But the biggest problem is probably legacy DLLs and realy old stuff, that is probably not ported to new core OS.
That means, Microsoft needs to figure out, how to enable ARM desktop development without those old stuff.
I think this is the primary reason, why Windows RT desktop isn't opened for 3rd party developers.
They probably rewrote only specific DLLs to ARM, just enough to make Office work.
I wish, but however seems very unlikely! Personally wouldn't want to use a tablet to code on anyways. but would be fun for little things!

Well you can use visual studio for windows 8, and then compile it for ARM, using the remote debugger which you install on windows RT. But it can only develop metro apps.
The only way to use VS and MS SQL on Surface RT at the moment is via Remote Desktop
Surface Pro will run everything (though of course it's thicker, heavier, and won't last as long on battery).
I use RemoteApps for SQL Server Management Server, IIS, and more. It works beautifully.
I haven't tried Visual Studio yet.
Thank you OP. I wanted to ask the same question. In addition to that, does the W8 RT have an emulator to mount .img's? If so, you can use the 2008 Visual Studios image file. it works well with my android tab

The only reason No on the RT is that you can't disable Secure Boot and you would have to find an ARM compiled version of Ubuntu.
The first reason more than anything else will keep you from doing much of anything.
Well... to give you SOME hope: http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/11/linux-foundation-secure-boot/
Looks like it may actually come to fruition at some point in the (near?) future.

This is great news considering Ubuntu is already being compiled for ARM devices. e.g. Their new mobile operating system.
Once it drops, it should only be a matter of time before someone cooks it up for the RT... :fingers-crossed:

Well, at least there is SOME light at the end of the tunnel.
Just because a secure boot-compatible segnature is present doesn't mean it will work; there's no way to add your own signing keys to the Surface RT's SB certificate store, so unless your Linux installer is either signed by MS or by another authority that is trusted out of the box, it still won't work.
Also, there's a big difference between recompiling a user-mode application for ARM and recompiling an entire OS. You need a compatible board support package for your processor and hardware. It's possible (and there are already Linux images that run on the Tegra3) but it's not trivial.

I dont see the problem with it tbh. The surface is a genuinely nice piece of hardware, its just some people dont like windows 8.
Now a hackintosh on the surface would be very interesting albeit incredibly unlikely.
I wonder if one of the various android x86 projects would consider a surface pro version.

looks like a fair bit of input latency there, very similar to what I see with remote desktop as opposed to running on the machine. Either that or poor drivers. Either one is possible
or the fact ml isn't supposed to run touchscreen so its not optimised....?

I would class that under poor driver support which I already said....
OSX does support touchscreen anyway.
my surface pro cannot boot from Windows 7 and Linux USBs, it still proceeds to windows 8. (im trying to put windows 7 on it or Linux)
but I can on my Recovery USB. i'm using the down volume method, and tried the advance boot thingy and chose USB method.
So i doubted if my win7 and linux usbs are not bootable, but they both boot well on my other pc.
I also have that EFI boot disabled. im not exactly a noob with tweaks and software installation, i just dont know why my surface pro wont accept those bootable usbs so i can start installing them.
please help.
That's great and all, but I can't find the Marvell drivers for ubuntu at all..
Hi everybody!
I was wondering if in a jailbreaked Surface RT is possible enable Miracast, If i'm not wrong the Tegra chip support Miracast so if we could install unsigned driver could be possible install Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) 1.3 and later that support Miracast enabling the feature on Surface RT?
Thanks,
Jesus.

Since a jailbroken device can load whatever we want and the the Tegra 3 does support Miracast, in theory this should be possible. However we need to HAVE that driver for Miracast to work. Hmmmm, maybe Jesus you can show us the miracle

I wish... but first I don't know the actual unreleased method for jailbreak and also I'm still looking for the drivers around the net... Maybe someone with more knowledge about drivers can help
Now that Jailbreak for 8.1 has been released, any luck finding drivers 1.3+ compiled on ARM?
Hi,
I'm pretty sure you all heard of "Project Astoria" aka Android on Windows (AOW). That Project is pretty much as dead as Windows RT is. But fortunately AOW is an ARM compiled project. So i wanted to ask, how hard do you guys think is it to port it to Windows RT?
AOW itself is pretty much nothing more than a service running on Windows. I'm sure it's not that hard to run it, but I would think adding apps (to the startscreen) and launching them is way more complicated?!
Would be interesting to hear some thoughts about that.

If I'm looking at the right thing, AOW is for windows phone. To get it to work (even if we could port it to RT) we'd need to recompile all the libraries necessary, some of which are WP8 specific. It would be simpler to just code our own android emulator for RT and running apps that way. If we go that far though, we may as well go all the way and port VirtualBox to get x86 emulation as well.

Trivial if you can get the Win10 kernel running with RT8.1 userspace. Will crash otherwise without flipping two bytes in the kernel (ARM state support instead of only Thumb2) and that is blocked by Secure Boot.
