It doesn't work and doesn't install. Installing a new operating system into anything is not rocket science for technicians, either the software is being 'sabotaged' from not working in the windows platform because i couldn't even able to install the installer.
these graphical interface to communicate no need as just complicates thing and makes it buggy. command line is all you need for installing or loading files. either the drivers work or not. that is the problem. so at this moment the installer is BETA..so issues and may not work as they say it does. the software is in BETA. doesn't work.
this like 'sabotage' of the software. so it doesn't install. or doesn't work. in windows 10. android and ubuntu is competition right.
these nexus models were designed to work so and easy to unlock. unlike some phones that are locked and owners of the hardware cannot unlock oem bootloader. Now windows 10 fails to communicate with android and not installing certain files. In the 80's compatibility was a big issue and many programs were designed to work in only some platforms. and not easily portable. and windows 10 is not open source so third party software developers are not able to make software and test it on windows 10 and windows 10 or android google store can change their update and make many applications 'obsolete' and not workable due to changes in the operating system. The OS is like main director/gatekeeper/ traffic coordinator etc. regulator of the system. if the operating is blocking certain programs from communicating. or hardware has a block on it..there is nothing a user can do. if doesn't work,,no point trying to make it work. wasting people time saying the installer works. the installer is just bunch command lines. with graphical icons and images and buttons.

runs well on Windows computers - see screenshot above.
It depends neither on Windows version ( it's a 32-bit executable ) nor on Windows edition.
When launching it at Windows 10 you get informed that this software is suspicous, that it may harm your Windows OS: this because it's not listed in Microsoft's database.
You also get noticed that ADB must got installed and systemwide accessible prior to use it.
So what's your real problem? I can't see one.

network frequency is "900/1800MHZ" which means its GSM, which means you can use it with everyone pretty much except Verizon but they might not be able to activate it since its a foreign model, but i think you are out of luck here anyway since the developers on this site program for windows mobile (which it doesnt run)
p.s.- IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television...not sure what the heck that means in terms of your phone though
yes. It comes up with the windows logo & says "Windows push technology" in the startup screen, other than that I have no idea?
well, "push technolgoy", whether its windows or apple or whoever makes it...just means that your phone has the capability of constantly checking for email, messages, etc....it means that you can set it to check for email (if you have a data plan), ever 5, 10, or 15 minutes, etc...if you wish. data is constantly being 'pushed" to and from your phone, that's all it means, so it looks like you have a limited user interface, not windows by any stretch, but still microsoft based technology, while the base rom is probably made by some 3rd party subsidiary of the company that makes the phone.
so not supported by microsoft, but still usable.
Thank you for your prompt reply on this. It is a good phone but limited on it's PDA side, Music wise is excellent as it has an extremely loud MP3 player and plays videos downloaded from the net or from my own camera....It's just a bit annoying that the PDA section is worse than useless... but your help is appreciated
I'm floundering here, so if mods feel this belongs in the Android subforum (is there one? I'm using a Dream specifically, but I'm sure this could be applicable to the Magic just as much), go right ahead please.
I am using windows 7. I just love it. HTC Hotsync installs fine, but the Vista 32bit driver installed 'incorrectly'. Any attempt now to uninstall it fails, so I'm stuck.

That's the weird error I get when the uninstall fails. BTW., I've tried uninstalling both from the Driver menu itself in start, as well as from add/remove from the control panel.
Also see this window. Not sure if I can use this even?
I have tried to reinstall/re-run the driver install file, but it won't work. I've tried restarting, uninstalling...but it doesn't help.
Can someone suggest how I can 'hard' or 'force' uninstall this driver? or whatever is left of it?
I have run this Hotsync in XP fine, so I know what I'm doing...it's just in W7 that I must've mucked up the nuances of run driver>THEN plug in phone, or vice versa., or I might've enabled hotsync on the phone, when I didn't need to and that mucked it up lol.
This is the HTC link for the Hotsync and such. I followed the instructions for Vista installation. I've also tried the 'run as administrator', but again, not being able to uninstall the first failed driver installation is kind of hindering any decent 2nd "Go' at it.
Can someone confirm if Android does not sync via WWMD at all? We must use Hotsync? btw., WHY...don't they have Hotsync available in a clear link from the main page-as opposed to buried deep in HTC Asia's Magic menu??
Update:
I tried it on my lenovo...W7. Same result. No connection., no proper initialization.
I ran it as administrator.
I ran it under vista sp3 compatibility mode...NADDA.
The usb driver registers fine, but 'Android Phone' driver is 'not found' .
I got a useless allbeit PROMPT reply form letter from HTC today not helping me whatsoever . "We do not support W7"...gee, what a surprise lol.
No luck with W7 so far.
My CPU doesn't support virtualization which was a possible solution somebody on hofo mentioned.
Looks like there's no hope for now.
an ideas just reply?
Well, I got the developer preview a while ago. It looks almost exactly like Windows 7 mobile. (The live tiles, etc, etc, etc...) The only issue I had with it was that on a touch device it was epic, but on a KB/M interface it SUCKED. You had to use all these weird hotkeys to get anywhere useful and alot of the windows hotkeys that have been around forever just didn't work. Hopefully the consumer preview will be more KB/M friendly. Having been a geek since the early Windows 3.x days I found that in an attempt to make the new OS less frustrating for computer newbies, they made it more frustrating for us old-timers that are used to the traditional Windows GUI.
I do, however, like the new "Blue Screen Of Death".

You can cut it to a classic theme that works more like win7 if that's what you want... Also, that's windows phone 7.
It'll probably be like Vista ie ignored by business.
10-12 years time you'll probably have companies still trying to work out how to buy computers that can take W7, just as we have companies only buying specific PCs because there are XP drivers still available for them.
It is really
Windows 7 phone OS with a desktop app, it's slow, clunky, has tons of errors, and is only good for tablets(in my opinion) go to dev.windows.com and download and try it yourself
We already know what it'll look like.
Bloody awful!
No need to wonder - here's a screenshot.
no start menu so i'm wondering how much time it will take to get used to that...
The only issue I had with it was that on a touch device it was epic, but on a KB/M interface it SUCKED.

Running Android applications on a Windows system is not new , most of us know bluestock ......
But what is new here is that AMD processors industry famous cooperated with BlueStacks App Store launched AMD AppZone ( http://www.amd.com/us/vision/shop/cool-apps/Pages/androidapps.aspx ) which allows users to download and run Android applications on Windows very easily by browsing through applications from the store, which offers 500 thousand application, and a single push of a button you can download and install the application that you want to visit and play. But AMD did not stop at the store, of course, but added advantage here is that they cooperated with BlueStacks to improve simulation provided by layer specifically for AMD processors. Any supposed to operate these applications have better and smoothly higher if your computer carries processor from AMD.
When you download an application for the first time will take some time as they will be practically full load platform BlueStacks him, but then are loaded applications easily format exe (like Windows applications normal) and run and a shortcut on her desktop like any other application unusual.

Saw this on BBC, I'd like blue stacks for Linux so I can watch Netflix on my Ubuntu Net book.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using xda app-developers app
Is this only possible on AMD CPU machines? Is there a similar way to do it with Intel CPU machines?
EDIT:
Looks like it's "optimized" for AMD, but you can get bluestacks for any processor.

I'm downloading it now. Interested to see how this works.
it will work with your intel cpu
it work with any procrssor but more better with ADM devices

Android Emulator
Technically speaking, Android Emulator that comes with Android SDK is the best emulator. You can emulate any(well, almost) Android Device and run apps on it. It is available for Windows as well as Linux.
But, BlueStacks provides an 'out of box' experience. You don't have to do much further downloads or configurations. With Android Emulator, you may need to download plugins for the target device to be emulated. You'll also need to setup a virtual device manually before starting to play games. It's for advanced users and developers and not recommended for n00bs.
Sometimes you just don't like the size of the items on your screen. If you're lucky, your phone's software has its own DPI changer of sorts, where you can choose among a few different presets, but what if you want more options, or you aren't one of the lucky few with that feature?
Well, this app aims to fix that problem on any Android device running 4.1 or later. There are quite a few apps out there that change your DPI, but this one doesn't actually require root, even if you aren't running Nougat. You will have to reboot if you aren't rooted, but hey, that's better than being around a computer all the time to use ADB, right?
There are instructions in the app for the setup and usage.
IMPORTANT:
- I don't know if this will work on every device running Android 4.1+. I was able to test it on an emulator running 4.1, along with various LG and Samsung devices on Marshmallow and Nougat, but that obviously doesn't include everything. Send some feedback if it isn't working for you, and include your device + Android version.
- Non-root mode requires you to execute a one-time ADB command (unless you uninstall and reinstall the app). From then on, all you'll need is a reboot.
- Avoid setting the DPI below 72. I don't specifically know what happens, but I know Android tools prevent this from happening by default. I will build the limit into this app in a future update.

@ProGuy1 if you can use ADB to change your DPI, that's great! But some people don't know how or don't have constant access to a computer. I figured rebooting would be more convenient than finding a computer with ADB.
Also, devices on 4.3 and above no longer need to reboot, whether rooted or not.
@S. Loranca You can certainly translate it if you want. The source code is on GitHub. Look in `/res/values/strings.xml`.

Thanks for making this! I saw the "Display Size" setting missing on my new Xiaomi phablet; a few apps I tried on the play store failed, but this app works perfectly.
For reasons you'll see soon, I'm removing this project from XDA and closing the thread. If you have the app right now, email me or PM me with any questions.
