Not sure about network support in Bochs that is posted here, but in qemu it is broken: " Network is not working."

From http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=692682

Bochs has network support, just a question if it works in the android port that we are using: http://bochs.sourceforge.net/doc/docbook/user/bochsrc.html#AEN1873

mnomaanw, any ideas?

For those who still wonder how to make windows XP img. Installed Windows XP in QEMU for PC, then copied the disk image to your phone for testing. Last time I test, it didn't work. Well, you all can test it out.

Btw, is this app the same as this one?

Is there a way to exit gracefully? I can get everything to run fine but then when I go to shut down it exits to the home screen but then it says that bochs is paused in the notifications and then when I try to resume bochs it crashes. I have to uninstall it then reinstall it to get it to work again.

u mean unzip files from that archive to SDL folder and put that folder in root directory?

what line (and to what) in bochsrc.txt should be changed to use .iso file?

[Android Software Development] elektrownik:
Win XP could be faster but it would need custom instalation with some services, programs and files removed
[Android Software Development] mnomaanw:
Win 8 might run better than 95 as its designed to work on ARM as well. But it might require more than 1GB RAM :(

And there should be another way to run win 8 rather than using bochs/qemu apk
[Android Software Development] mnomaanw:
Extract it to the root of sdcard so there should be a folder called SDL on your SDCARD and inside that there should be the other files not folder. Change the one and only "c.img" in the bochsrc.txt to "c.iso" and check if that works. But it would be better to install pc version of QEMU and install any OS in it , then copy the .img from there to sdl folder.

No luck on my Galaxy SII

Anyone have any luck with this on a Galaxy SII? Loaded the SDL to the root of the SD card and installed BOCHS. Then I tried to run BOCHS and it just flashes a black screen and goes back to my applications screen. Looks to me like BOCHS may not run on a Samsung Galaxy SII.

Looks like I'll be charging my old EVO and try it on there tonight.

I got past that by pressing Vol Up or Vol Down buttons.

Taping screen works for left click.
[Android Software Development] lp894:

[Android Software Development] schriss:
Yep, booted very quick and working just fine. I used Win95.img I had used previously with Bochs on Windows Mobile phone. That Win95.IMG boots straight into windows, no need to install anything.

Vol Up/Down on Galaxy Nexus gets me past the F12 screen, but in the emulator they don't do mouse clicks. Taping screen works.

To exit I just shutdown windows :) it runs so fast.

I wonder how to get better resolution, seems like it's not proper 1280x720, it's a bit less and streched, still not bad and readable.

Google for Bochs and Win95.img, you might find the one that boots into windows with no installation.

Okay, after 2 days I'll ask...

For building up a Windows XP .img, I'm running Windows 7 using Qemu Manager. Every single time I make a c.iso using bochs, and use the XP.iso as the "CD/DVD" under Qemu Manager, it makes a totally new file called .raw or something that cannot be used as an img or ISO, so how the Hell does it work?

Use nLite to create lite version of Windoze...

You can create a custom light version of XP and I believe Windows 7 using nLite...

Google nLite...

I have used it in the past and have create super light version of Windoze...

I believe there is a Windows 7 version of this to that you can create light versions of Windows 7.

I have made an iso of XP with nLite that run in 45mb of ram, even after SP3 was installed. It was able to surf the net, etc... Sometimes you have to play with the settings on it.

You can create your custom iso, then convert it to img... or whatever you need (Haven't tried the OS emulator yet), and then run a lite version of Windows on your phone.

Honestly, I can see this being really useful if your phone has a video out to monitor or HDTV. A business traveler could almost get ride of the laptop and run Windows or Linux from his or her phone to use native apps from those OS's. It would be cool if someone took Wine from Linux and made an APK, then you could run Windows apps directly from the phone without the need of emulating/virtualizing an OS.

My first OS I am going to virtualize on my phone is Damn Small Linux or TinyCore Linux.

Hello,

Today I attempted to root my HTC Desire. I used this site ( youtube.com/watch?v=kvg0i8in96M ) to do so.

I installed several programs that required SU access to check if the rooting was succesful.

I downloaded SystemAppRemover to remove some of the originally installed pieces of software. Unfortunately that didn’t work out too well: some of the buttons on the Phone aren’t responding anymore. So I figured, let’s turn off the Phone and turn it back on.

Then the next program revealed itself: the Phone wont boot, its trapped in the booting proces. I read elsewhere online that I should try to revert to the original firmware, but I have no idea how to do that.

Can anybody advice on this please? I used android 2.3 before.

Thanks in advance,

Recovery working? Have you done any back up before you tried that app?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
First backup is for saving a lot of troubles, like this one... Was it not worth to make it? You can flash any custom ROM or you can flash ruu-see bortak guide from stickies I'm on the phone limitation of resources ATM
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TVTV:
I see that you're running Runnymede 5.0.3. Looking through the ROM's thread, i've found that it requires that you have an EXT partition on the SD card and that your phone is S-OFF, both of which, i believe, your phone lacks. That might be the reason why it's stuck at the bootscreen.

Before installing ANY ROM, please read its thread carefully. Some ROMs require various types and sizes of EXT partitions, others require different HBOOTS etc. If you don't follow the instructions properly, you will get bootloops.

From my understanding, you are now running the stock HBOOT (250 MB of /system space). If your phone is network-free (unbranded), you should download the latest 2.2 stock RUU from HTC, install it on your phone and that'll solve all of your problems (use Search). You can root/S-OFF afterwards and install any ROM that your heart desires (making sure you follow instructions, this time).
