Hey all, it's probably been a while since I posted, but as time has went on, I've been working on Otter Browser ports.
It isn't stable, which is why it says BETA! Please say if something isn't working, I'll look at it when I can.
What can it do so far?
Some sites are more faster than Edge
What can it not do?
Large JavaScript sites/files. Multimedia was fixed(-ish) (some formats do not work, will look into it soon, could just be a Qt thing)!
How stable exactly is "not stable"?
Well, it crashes at random. If you go to a site with too much JavaScript it will crash, certain sites just don't work, etc.
Will this all be fixed!
Of course! I'm working on it as much as I can!
If you want to test it out, let me know how it works, etc, then that would be gladly appreciated, I'm trying to do what I can for the peeps only with an ARM32 device.

How do I install it!!!
Extract the folder from the 7zip file ANYWHERE. It doesn't matter where it is!
C:\Program Files; your desktop; you name it, it'll work just fine there. I do plan on making an installer, but for the time being, a folder on your desktop or in your documents or something isn't going to hurt.
Have fun out there!
Thanks for that, hope some people will give you feedbacks. I'm so pissed at Microsoft for letting this perfectly working tablet die.

My pleasure! I'm going to update it as much as possible, but I'm still in school so updates won't be immediate or frequent compared to the official Otter builds. I love the lil tablets myself and had been using my Surface 2 as a main PC until early 2020.
Hi. I'm trying to run it on a Nokia Lumia 2520 (it runs Windows RT 8.1) and has A ARM32 hardware. I tried to use Otter but windows just gives me an error message saying that it cannot verify the digital signature for this file. Is there a workaround to this?

Sounds like you still need "jailbreak" it for this browser to run. There are threads in the RT subform on how to do that. I never upgraded to 8.1 so I haven't tried that procedure myself...

Yeah, you just need to sign it with a signtool. The one in the forums here works. Just be sure RT8.1 has the jailbroke ran. It runs worse on RT8.1, from what I've heard though (just warning). You may also need to put these DLLs in it's folder.
Hello , I have tested your browser on Lumia 930 running a leaked version of Windows Arm 32.
It's UI and some pages work flawlesslly but it warns about SSL not being supported or something like that.
Do you maybe have a telegram account? You would surelly be welcomed on WOAaarch32 telegram group

I'm glad to hear that it's working good, but that SSL is a little mistake by me... I forgot to copy and rename some DLLs. I'll fix it in a future build, sorry about that. It's nothing bad, just a DLL spelling mistake.
Also, sadly, no, I do not have Telegram. I would like to get it but as I'm a minor I can not easily get whatever social media I please. If I do get it, I'll be sure to post it here.

This is awesome, didn't think anyone was still working on apps for RT. So far so good way better than the ancient IE11 that 8.1 has.

Just wanted to pop in and say that I tested this on the Windows 10 Build and it works just as well on my RT1 as it did on 8.1, Buggy but still as good as edge.

That's awesome! RT8.1 isn't expected to do well with it though, sadly.. This is due to the whole THUMB2 limitations and junk . I plan on making stable RT8.1 releases and RT10 releases where the RT10 releases have JIT. Glad to hear how it's as good as Edge though. I'm doing what I can and hopefully will release a new/more stable build soon. I'm dealing with some issues (irl, not computer or whatnot), but hopefully should be back to building apps in a few days or so. Have fun with it!
It works!!!!
I will find you!
And i will kiss you!
Hello, I wanted to thank you for working on this Browser, it works on my Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11 which runs Windows 8.1 RT. I'm also wanted to report some bugs since on 8.1 there are some and I've seen anybody talking about them here. So here they are :
-1: When trying to erase (backspace) on a search engine page the browser will crash.
-2: When trying to access any website that allows you to sign in (ex: YouTube, any hospital or bank website) it crashes.
I'll stop at these two since, again, I'm not sure if it's the right place and I don't want to pollute the thread. If it's not the right place, I'll gladly report them wherever it is. So thank you in advance.

You're absolutely fine reporting any issues here! I know about them, and I'm doing what I can but progress is slow due to stuff happening outside of porting and I only have so much RAM (8GB) so I only can build with like 6 jobs at a time ; )
The goal is to get Otter as close to Win32's version, but I may *drop* Otter if I can get GTK building as it seems to be more lightweight (an example being Midori). YouTube won't work at all though, for sure. No multimedia works, sadly. I don't know about banking/hospital site's logins as I'm a minor and do not have any accounts for any of them (lol), but I'll see if it's happening with stuff like GitHub and report back if I can fix it, or if there's a new build you can try out.

Okay, that's good to know. What I've seen is that it should crash with any page in which you have to log in for anything so, for example, I think this website would do the same or Gmail. Thank you for your work, we'll be waiting patiently for the next update.

Just want to tell you, that i am so thankfull for your work an the browser. The Surface is running so good and is doing such a good job for me. I cannot understand why MS let this Tablet die.
Only problem is, you know that, the Browser. Since the Win 10 Setup, the Edge Browser works "ok", but i have reached its limits very early.
Thank you again for your work, your afford and i hope you will continue with this browser.

No problem! I plan on continuing as much as I can with it and hoping next build I can get a JIT build out for the Win10 users even! Qt is just painfully slow to compile on my computer due to low RAM amount (8GB 2666MHz with a Ryzen 5) . May try to get a server or something to speed up builds.

This program allows you to control your mouse and keyboard from your android device via Wifi or Bluetooth. You need a server program on your computer and it is available for windows, mac and linux.
The connection process is very simple, just discover all the server available and select one to control (no IPs or any technical stuff). Plus, the app is pretty configurable, button layout, mouse sensitivity... and it also has some cool features like setting a password that will be asked for when establishing the connection.

Enjoy and post comments !!!
Great app
I just tryed it and it is great man! thanks!
No dealing with IP address or anything. Just select your computer and go. It is so smooth, plus I like the fact that you can protect your computer with a password.
10 out of 10
Linux support
Good news!! It is now compatible with linux. You can download the server from theire web. And it works perfectly in my Ubuntu.
By the way, the programs version is already 0.9.2, you may want to update the post ;p
The thread is updated now, I also mention the linux compatibility (although I didn't test it yet). What distribution are you using? I would like to give it a try.
Cheers
I tryed it in Ubuntu 11. I had a little issue though, it didn't work on my laptop. I asked the developers and they told me that it doesn't currently support the 64bit architecture. They appear to be working on a version that will work though. Judging by theire release frequency, it will be available very soon
Installation
Hello,
I was trying to install it on Ubuntu 11 too. I run the "install" file but nothing seems to happen. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Well, my first advice would be that you read the "readme.txt". Everything is explained there. Basically, make sure you have Java installed.
Thanks, I followed the instructions in the readme file and I make it work without problems. And it works like a charm!!!!
And by the way, does anybody know if it is possible to make a direct connection with Wifi (without connectiong to a network) ?
I guess if you create a point to point wifi connection it would work. But why would you want to do that? For this scenarion, you would just use bluetooth.
Hey, when I connect through bluetooth, it doesn't ask me for the password even if I have it activated. Is it normal? Does that happen to someone else?
Great work!
I personally think it is how it should work. Through bluetooth, you have to pair your device so there is a security system already. The why to bother entering additional passwords?
I believe the developers had the same conclusions when implementing the security system.

Thanks for pointing it out.
Wow, it is certainly better than others I have tryed, such as gmote, remote trackpad or advanced touchpad...
Great job!
They really keep updating the app. And they bring some new little stuff in each release. I hope they keep up the good work.

All,
Please find the attached Windows RT native binaries for Snes9x 1.53. Snes9x is a SNES emulator.
http://snes9x.ipherswipsite.com/
I've had to disable a few features, such as OpenGL support and AVI recording. Direct 3D support is still there and I've included the D3D9 runtime in the package. Please don't ask me for ROMs - google is your friend. I've tried a couple roms, seems to be working just fine, but there could be issues lurking as there were lots of compilation warnings.
Also, I don't have an Xbox controller handy so I'm not sure how well that will work.
Cheers!
EDIT: before anyone slams me for the port.. yes I'm aware of "Snes8x" in the app store

It's funny, because when you first posted this port I had that thought, but I downloaded it anyway. I have since discovered I cannot freaking play Super Mario with the store version's touch controller... it's just to imprecise (and no feedback) for me to actually have fun playing Mario (i.e. not dying constantly), and unless I'm just missing something, it doesn't seem to support keyboard input. So your port of Snes9x to the rescue! Thank you! I am curious what your motivation was to port it...

open charms bar, settings, there's something in there to enable and disable hardware or touch controls etc.
I guess some people prefer desktop apps to modern UI, that and its always a nice exercise.

*facepalm* there are many threads and posts saying how there is no jailbreak for 8.1, this requires the jailbreak, therefore you cant use it. Snes8x is on the windows store though.

Sorry, it doesn't say anywhere that it requires jailbreak, so I didn't think about it.
I'll start assuming it requires jailbreak if it's not in the Store. Safe enough assumption?

yes. the idea of the jailbreak is that windows RT will only run apps if they have a digital signature from microsoft, which is not something they are issuing for desktop apps so our apps ports do not have a signature and will not run on windows RT. The jailbreak removed that restriction so it will run desktop apps developed by us (internet explorer, microsoft office and the other apps already on the device being microsoft apps are signed so will run on non jailbroken systems). Only microsoft can sign the apps.
There are a few exceptions, bat scripts can run on RT without a jailbreak, I think powershell scripts are fine too. You can coerce it into playing .swf files too (in metro too actually). Anything else, jailbreak required.
Sadly the exploit the jailbreak used was patched by microsoft in 8.1, why? we don't know. It serves no purpose to lock the desktop in this way and they went right out of their way to change the signature enforcement seemingly just to prevent the jailbreak. I think a few people have hinted at ways to jailbreak 8.1, but so far the idea has been to keep your mouth shut if you have an idea and only share via private means so that microsoft can't patch it until its too late (october when 8.1 goes fully public), as a result I have no idea if there is any progress, officially there is not.
Since the whole point of the jailbreak is to enable running non-"app" software, yes, that's a pretty safe assumption (not perfect - sideloaded apps don't need a jailbreak - but anything that tells you to run an EXE will).

This is only kind of true. The kernel exploit itself, the lack of validation on the object pointer on NtUserSetInformationThread subfunction 7, was not fixed. Getting to it was fixed and/or made much harder.

Do you happen to have the sources and project files available? I'd like to build upon yours and try to integrate with XInput as done by snes8x, specifically CBoxController.c/h, ControllerInput.c/h, etc.
How about buld new 1.55 release for WinRT?

Hi all!
So I've been working on an app in my spare time on & off for about 2 years and have finally put it up on the play store. I'm looking for opinions about it, as after building it for so long I've most likely got severe tunnel vision and wouldn't know what's intuitive and what's not to a new user!
What does it do?
Remote control your PC (mouse, keyboard, media buttons)
Copy files to & from your PC or other Android devices
Sync files automatically
Share clipboard data between devices
Open URLs and files (eg music, video) on remote devices
Supports sleep and wake-on-lan of devices
Why? There are similar apps already!
I wrote it out of frustration with the available options for "inter-connectivity" between my devices. I use a HTPC to watch movies and wanted a remote app to control the HTPC (remote mouse, play/pause/volume). There are many existing such apps but I didn't like what's out there:
Are complicated with separate "remotes" for each app that you have to juggle between, etc
They don't behave like a keyboard & mouse, but have special buttons to learn
They often require Java on the PC
Can be slow
I wanted much more than just a remote control app if I'm going to have a "server" running on my PC...
If you want remote clipboard sharing, file transfers, etc, you have ot install separate servers for each app on your PC... I thought I could do better, and you only need 1 "server" on the PC to do all of the above.
Finally, I wrote it to be peer-to-peer. This means that your PC isn't really a "server", for example, you can transfer files/open URLs Android-Android without a PC being present. One such case is when I'm often reading a webpage and open the link on my wifes tablet so she can check it out too!
It's also cross-platform. The same core bit compiles on pretty much anything, but so far I've only released the Android and Windows ports, as they're the ones that I've tested the most. Coming soon will be OSX, Linux and iOS last (I HATE objective-C syntax!)
I've got heaps of other features which I want to add, to build this into the ultimate way to make your devices cooperate... but with the existing features I thought it's time to release it & see what others think!
How can I download it?
The app is called MissingLink (one word, if you want to search for it on the play store). Or the direct link is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.peaklabs.missinglink
The Windows version is available on my site at:
http://www.peaklabs.net/apps/missing-link/download/
Quit blabbing
Ok If you have time please give it a shot and let me know what you think! It has a trial as synching is a paid feature, but if you want I can reset your trial! Just message me.
Just hoping to get some feedback as I continue building it! Thanks heaps!
Oh and if you have any features you think might come in handy, please let me know! I'm sure there's so much that could be done with our devices that find each other and are connected via TCP/IP that isn't being done yet

Hi! Glad you found it useful
It's free, but you can upgrade to pro from the app - currently only file synching and PC shutdown/restart requires "pro"! I think as I add features in the future they'll most likely end up being part of the "pro" upgrade.

Certainly will! That's the next OS I'm going for actually.
Just wondering, what would you need it for - Android->MAC remote, or also due to file transfers? Some people have trouble with setting up windows shares between windows & OSX, and ML can be a replacement for that between win & osx too... Just wondering how you'd use it, as my wife is an OSX using photographer and I'm always annoyed by her backup needs with her weird (to me) file systems
I can completely understand about the shortcomings of the 'current' offerings, Sounds like ML is exactly what I've been missing for years.. (Wish I had something like this since I had my first android phone, to be honest).. Too bad I killed the battery in my tablet, but I'll be sure to test it out as soon as the tablet's charged and the phone is re-flashed.
Thank you
Hi. I've installed the app on my phone and Nexus 7. The Windows app is not playing at the moment. I keep getting a path error. Will report back tomorrow (it's late here), This could be really valuable. Thanks for your efforts. John
great work. this is what i waiting for
force close on kitkat
First time starting it gives an FC, after that it wont FC anymore, haven't recorded the logcat though. just saying
Working perfect on my Nexus 5. You sir are a genius. Very smooth and no-brainer install and usage. As matter of fact I typed this from the app itself :good:
Edit: I didn't like the icon so i made one for my use, but why not share it?
FC at startup with CM11 on ART
EDIT: second startup worked perfectly
Awesome. I think the icon above looks nicer, but apart from that, nothing much to say. Maybe try using different colours, maybe white instead of green would improve readability. Thumbs up
i'd love to have something like this for mac. as it stands android file transfer is not a great solution and i prefer just to adb push/pull things instead of using that.
hope there is a mac version soon!
Looking for the Linux version.
Once it's out, this will be my app.
I'm currently using a bunch of soft for the same things
- explorer ES for smb exploration
- Pushbullet for sharing pastes
- pydio for remote file access
- airdroid for some file exchanges
However some of these apps also works over mobile data and not only Wifi.

I'm not sure, but the previous Windows build (v 1.0.110) had an error that came up sometimes on first start, maybe that's what you saw - it should be fixed on 1.0.111 though. Let me know if you find out what it was! Thanks!

Hi! Sorry to hear that. I unfortunately don't have a kitkat phone to test on, as samsung hasn't released it for my S4 for some reason
If you see it again, please press the "Report" button, that'd be a great help! Thanks!
Hi All!
Thanks for the awesome feedback, glad people are liking it. I've noted your issues, and once I finish the next update I think I'll focus on building the mac & linux versions.
Also several requests for configurable UI colours, that's going to be a pain to code, but I think I'll have to do it in the end!
Please if anyone is seeing force closes, press the "Report" button. I may have found 1 cause of them but there may be others :-/
Thanks heaps!
Upon trying to activate the trial features after having had it installed for less than a minute, I get "Failed to start a MissingLink trial. Have you previously done a trial with this device?"
The answer is obviously "No," but the only option available is "OK."
Cannot find a price anywhere, and attempting to buy the pro version (since the trial is not available) results in an error.

Hello.
Microsoft is working on an ARM version of Windows 10. It is already possible to get this working on a Raspberry PI 2.
According to this article:
https://www.modmy.com/developers-successfully-run-windows-10-surface-rt
someobdy managed to get Windows 10 partially working on a Surface RT. Is there any update on this? Considering Microsoft has an ARM version of Windows 10, what are the issues in getting this working?

Windows 10 on ARM is exclusively for ARM64 devices. The version that runs on the raspberry pi 2 is Windows 10 IoT. Win10 iot can run on the surface tablet, but due to lack of apps, it is practically useless.
There is any news about win10 on arm on Surface rt ?

Does that really work on a Surface 2? I could never get nvpep to work, it would always cause a bluescreen on boot (irql_not_less_or_equal).
I can't download your Surface 2 English WIM from that site, can you tell me if there is there a mirror? Failing that a tip on how you got nvpep working would be interesting
Thanks!
wangxiaohu,
I managed to get your Surface 2 WIM, works great aside from the expected Bluetooth issue. Use the Uart16550tegra driver from Surface RT on Surface 2, once this is installed the Bluetooth will work.
Thanks to Ranomez for the tip

Just spotted where I went wrong. I've been using sdbus.sys and sdstor.sys from a factory Surface 2 RT8.1 install, using these got me to desktop but I could never get nvpep to work without a BSOD on boot. Just noticed the sdbus.sys from the Chinese WIM is older than the one I took from my Surface 2 RT8.1 install.
sdbus 9.3.9600.16497 bad, 9.3.9600.16384 good. Combo of any nvpep and sdbus 9.3.9600.16497 under 15035 will break it.

Wait what?!? Is this the real Windows 10 ARM Edition running on a Surface RT/2? Not IoT? If so, where did this come from? I thought Windows 10 ARM Edition was ARM64 not ARM32. I can kind of follow it, but relying on browser translation of the page...

Yes. But it's also last build that can run ARM32. We won't see newer version of Windows 10 on rt most likely.

That's really cool! I had no idea there was a build of Windows 10 ARM Edition that would run on the Surface RT/2. Thanks for posting the link to those instructions!
I suspect you're correct about no newer builds. Though considering my old Surface RT is still running RT 8.0 for the jailbreak, any version of 10 would be a lot newer. Am I correct in assuming all the open-source apps compiled for RT (since they're ARM32) would also run on this build of Windows 10? I'm going to have to try this when I get some time.

I want to set expectation clear that I still find rt with Windows 10 useless since it's doesn't have any perf improvement. Experience is awful. Camera doesn't work. Photo and Mail apps don't install. Edge browsing is more compatible with sites than IE, but extremely slow.... So, don't bother unless u want to enjoy the 'upgrade' per se.

I appreciate the warning! I am not surprised to hear that it is slow, otherwise Microsoft might have actually released it officially. I probably will wait to try this until I have no other use for the device (once the Netflix app stops working). Still, it's neat to see it is actually possible.

There are apparently newer ARM32 builds but its very unlikely we will ever get to see them and as it stands I think we are lucky to have 15035.

My nvpep troubles:
I found where I was going wrong with my WIM (thanks to your WIM) and what was causing nvpep to trigger a BSOD on boot. I don't understand the underlying cause but I was using sdbus 9.3.9600.16497 from my Surface 2 RT8.1 install (Surface2_BMR_20.2.19.0 recovery media), once I switched to sdbus 9.3.9600.16384 everything was fine.
Once that was sorted I was able to make my own working WIM and I've been playing with making it work as well as possible on my Surface 2:
Error on first boot:
Before allowing 15035 to boot for the first time create a new directory (\EFI\Microsoft\Recovery) and create an empty BCD store there.
Camera fix:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Foundation\Platform]
"EnableFrameServerMode"=dword:00000000
Bluetooth fix:
Use the Uart16550tegra driver from Surface RT on Surface 2, once this is installed the Bluetooth will work.
Edge Tweaking:
Edge can be made a little better from about:flags - enable canary and allow high memory usage. This is not my tip but it seems to help, only real issue I have with Edge at the moment is YouTube but I've been told to give myTube a try.
Build Expired Nag Window:
Delete File \Windows\System32\LicensingUI.exe
Apps Working:
So far managed to get working the following MS apps: Onedrive, Remote Desktop, Skype, Photos, Camera, Scan, Films & TV, Mail & Calendar. Oh, and also an old version of Maps that still works - GPS is good. Third party apps tried so far - Team Viewer & VLC.
Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/ujnLlFI
List of apps that that seem to work on Windows 10 15035 so far - newer versions may work but would require manifest mods:
Code:
Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_2019.1019.1.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Microsoft.WindowsStore_11811.1001.2713.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Microsoft.MicrosoftSkyDrive_17.30.3.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Microsoft.RemoteDesktop_10.1.1107.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Microsoft.SkypeApp_12.1815.210.1000_neutral_~_kzf8qxf38zg5c
Microsoft.Windows.Photos_2017.35063.44410.1000_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Microsoft.WindowsCamera_2017.727.40.2000_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Microsoft.WindowsScan_2014.523.326.3026_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Microsoft.ZuneVideo_2019.18052.10711.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Microsoft.WindowsCommunicationsApps_16005.11001.20116.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle
Microsoft.WindowsMaps_4.1509.50912.0
TeamViewer.31414B719FA93_15.0.100.0_neutral_~_89446h4zmeyyt
VideoLAN.VLC_3.2.1.0_neutral_~_paz6r1rewnh0a
Not exactly current in some cases but they still seem to function.
These I have installed but not used. It would be a surprise if the wireless display worked (I don't have the adapter) and I'm not a telegram user but will sign up to test later.
Code:
Microsoft.SurfaceWirelessDisplayAdapter_3.4.137.1000_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe
38833FF26BA1D.UnigramPreview_3.6.2286.0_neutral_~_g9c9v27vpyspw
I'm not really a big app user so I've just been adding stuff to make 15035 feel a little less empty
There is this version of Maps:
Code:
Microsoft.WindowsMaps_2017.1003.1829.0_neutral
Should work on 15035 but it requires 15063 as a minimum to install and I have not looked into what's required to modify the manifest, repack and sign yet. For the moment I've focused on what will work without too much trouble.

Once installed its not bad, I've got a dual boot setup on my Surface 2 just to be on the safe side though.
I tried doing a search and couldn't find a relevant thread, but I have a few questions...
OK first, the issue that brings me here is the only web browser that I like (Boat) has long been dead and out of development, it's long not been on the play store but I've had the APK for a long time and just transfered it to every new phone I got so I could keep using it. I have tried finding a different browser, but I hate them all, none of them have any of the features I want. My last phone was running Android 9.0 and Boat was still working on it. Well, I got a new phone now (Pixel 4a 5g) that has Android 11 and boat still mostly works... except it crashes if I click the bar at the top to type in a URL and a few other bugs... but otherwise still works flawlessly.
1. So, I'm wondering first is it even OK for someone to look to hire a developer to basically update a dead app? Any website and contact information for the original developer no longer exists, but I don't know if it's OK for someone to take over a dead app like that, if it would be considered stealing or something.
2. Second, well if it's OK... I have the last APKs of the browser and I had used a guide to deconstruct the APK into a project thinking maybe I can figure it out and how to update it so that it still works but... yeah that's not happening. So I have the APK files and the already deconstructed into a project and was wondering where I can ask about hiring a developer just to basically update the app so that it still works (bug fixes only, not really making any changes to the look/feel/etc, just fix any bugs or code that's old and deprecated and doesn't work anymore)? And when I say hire, I mean like actually hire, with real money.

First topic is about licence agreement and legal stuff. It is owned by "Boatmob, Inc." / "Digital Life International Limited" / "Crunchbase Inc.". Although the app was for free, it does not seem to be a free licences. But I am not an expert in this area.
About the browser app itself, I have seen that you were already active here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/boat-browser.3821682/
You either need a permission of the owning company and then maintain the app yourself (or via a hired dev), or you have to switch to another and still actively supported browser app.
