[Windows RT Development and Hacking] TheExileFox:
Realistically this would be a "No", cause:

A; adding new drivers is probably not going to work due to the locked down environment

B; The DVB-T tuner software has to be written or ported which may or may not be possible depending on how it's implemented

Sorry but i don't think this will get any support even if it's possible

Question: I get that closed source programs don't work as well... but would it be really hard to do something like Age of Empires II? Love that thing, and I always run it without a disk using a hack for it on my other computers, but running it on this would be awesome... lemme know, and thank you guys SOOO much! You guys are amazing... now to get Android dual-booting with Windows.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] djboo:
dont work well? unless it was written in .net 4.5, its impossible.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] netham45:
Unless AoEII will run inside Bochs it won't run.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] lilstevie:
You cannot recompile a closed source program without its source, it isn't that it is hard or doesn't work as well, it is you cannot. The only option is through emulation with applications like bochs, which often can be slow.

Getting Android to dual boot with Windows is no easy task, this hack does not disable or trick secure boot in any way. Even if secure boot gets defeated it will be no small feat as the Surface will require having a kernel ported to it, arm devices do not tend to have UEFI so there is no provision in the kernel tree for getting the device tree from ACPI/DSDT, not to mention none of the kernels for tegra even have full device tree support that have the required bits for the binary graphics drivers.

1) Looking for a disk usage tool similar to WinDirStat. I think I could make one pretty easily with WinForms but I'd like save some time on that. Any suggestions?

2) There is a lot of focus on ARM software here but there should be a lot of .NET software that we can run now. Also, if it does not run unchanged, "porting" it should be pretty simple in most cases, unless it uses WPF.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Already went through literally the entire bittorrent client list on Wikipedia (which include FDM) looking for something that would recompile easily. No dice. At least half the ones that run on Windows are actually based on Java or Python, so porting one of those over will help a lot.

I'm porting DeSmuME to windows RT. I've made a build with JIT and SSE disabled, also as DirectInput is not supported by windows RT I mapped input keys quickly with the Keyboard Input library (the list is in the joypadkeys.txt file).

Update: DirectInput was only used for joysticks so it works just by removing joystick support.

Hi

Is there any chance that the app "PortableApps" could be ported to the RT?

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

Hi

Do can the app "PortableApps" could be ported to the RT?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
Sure, YOU could port it, but you'd also have to port all the apps in portable apps
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Ranger2k0:
Ok I only asked..
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound condescending (I should have put a smiley :) ) it's such a large project is all and we can just port the open source versions of those apps instead

Chrome browser

I have searched to see if Chrome has been ported, but found conflicting information. Can someone please post information on where to get it and how to install it on RT? Thanks.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] black_blob:
Chrome can't work on RT as it is propretary software. Chromium is hard to port, but I think that it's doable
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
Honestly, it would probably be easier to port a different WebKit-based browser. Chromium has a lot of elements that aren't normally required by a browser, but are needed for Chromium to even function. It's true though that Chrome won't work unless someone updates win86emu with the power to run it. Even then it will probably only work at quarter to half speed as it is emulation.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] duckylove:
Since Chrome is not available, when using my RT, I have to use IE. How can one import Chrome bookmarks into IE without IE alphabetizing them? The goal is for the order of the IE folders and favorites to be the same as they were in Chrome. Thanks.

Maybe it's naive, but couldn't it be possible to run Microsoft Edge on Windows RT? Has anybody tried?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
I don't think anybody WANTS too at the moment. too stressful.

Here's the source: https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/

Also, you'd have to modify the taskbar so that the Microsoft edge search would work. Also, since it is win8.1 RT, it may not be compatible with the Microsoft Edge code.

I'm hoping to convert my Surface RT into an Android development device.

Is there any way that I could accomplish this right now with the 8.1 jailbreak and allowing unsigned code?

I assume Android Studio can't be signed to run?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Linuxy:
Android studio could be signed to run, if it was recompiled. And even so, I think the load would be too much for the Surface RT's humble processor. Unless u have another computer which u can ssh into or use a tightvncvserver running on it so u can use it remotely, I think most of the available Android Development Tools are too heavy for the processor to run.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Triumph:
ok thanks for the input, I do have another more powerful laptop just that one is massive 17" screen heavy laptop, was hoping more for a small portable laptop like the RT.

I may look for a Surface 3/4 then if I need something more powerful that can run Android Studio with no issues.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
There are no RNDIS drivers as far as I know. Windows RT cannot add drivers. You are stuck with the amount of drivers that Microsoft includes.

Qupzilla 2.1.2

Has anyone tried compiling the latest version of Qupzilla, 2.1.2, to work on Windows RT? 1.4.3 seems promising but is useless because https links don't work.

Alternatively, K-Meleon or Firefox might work. I've gotten pretty darn close to getting unmodified Firefox to work.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] atillanayman:
Firefox

yes plz! We need a new browser ASAP:confused:
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
We've actually gotten firefox to compile. The problem is that it uses too much memory. Just by starting it uses 90% of the memory, and when the start page loads, it crashes.

The latest version of qupzilla doesn't use the QT version we have built, so unless someone compile QT 5.9, it won't be able to be ported.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] matthew28845:
What about Firefox ESR then? Isn't that designed to work on slower computers? What about Opera?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
Firefox ESR requires win32 assembly which RT obviously doesn't support. Opera requires too many libraries that are incompatible with RT. We could disable them, but in the end it would still be very slow. Midori is probably the best bet for a browser, but it's finicky about compiling on a non-unix computer.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] matthew28845:
What about K-Meleon or Browzar? Those are both specifically designed to be very lightweight.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Qiangong2:
Browzar is not open source, k-meleon has the same problem as firefox.
