[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
For comparison, consider the Wine project: well over a decade of development (much longer than Android has even existed) to have an open-source tool that can run many x86 Windows apps on x86 Linux. Or consider Cygwin, which can't even run x86 Linux apps on x86 Windows; they must be recompiled for Cygwin first. Expecting that some equivalent program to run ARM Dalvik/Linux apps on ARM Windows would have just popped out of the woodwork in a usable state - even as usable as Wine, which is nowhere near 100% app compatibility yet - is quite unrealistic.
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Bluestacks involves ZERO emulation of ARM. Android apps are run inside the dalvik virtual machine (itself a register based version of the java virtual machine). To run an android app just needs a DVM and its class library: bluestacks pretty much does this. Android native code apps do then get complicated yes but then the android NDK has a rather convenient feature that bluestacks can exploit.

NDK compiles native binaries for both x86 and ARMv7 by default (note default, you can over-ride which platforms it compiles for, I believe ARMv6, ARMv6hf, ARMv7, MIPS and x86_32 are available options although I am not 100% sure on the exact arm versions so might be wrong). Bluestacks is only running on x86 and x86_64 machines. x86_64 machines can safely run x86_32 code. So really bluestacks when it encounters a native app "just" has to run the x86 binary the NDK produces on windows/mac with a compatibility layer. Still a complex job of course.

Bluestacks on windows RT could actually take the same shortcut bluestacks on windows and OSX takes in regards to native code, just with the ARM binaries running in a compatibility layer instead of the x86 binaries.

Bluestacks still has to mess about a bit exposing hardware to "android" correctly and handling a few extra bits and pieces but generally it works rather well and in theory could work on windows RT. However in practise it might have some speed sacrifices which will become much more apparent seeming as the guts of most windows RT devices are also the guts of android devices, now you've introduced slowdowns and the RT device will be slower than if it just ran android in the first place, might not be an issue on some less intensive apps but something like shadowgun would probably have noticeable slowdowns. Also I doubt a company like that behind bluestacks wants to develop for jailbroken devices, microsoft certainly wouldnt give permission for something along the same lines to be included on the windows store. The other major issue is OpenGL ES. Non existant on windows RT, bluestacks I believe converts OpenGL ES calls to full OpenGL. We dont have that either. We have directX or software. In theory you could convert the OpenGL ES calls to directX, certainly not impossible, but would certainly be alot of work.

TL;DR. Its theoretically possible to have android apps running on windows RT. There are too many issues to make it viable at this moment in time.

Future updates to what microsoft does and doesn't allow on RT (OpenGLES I'm looking at you) and knowledge/hacks (GLES>DX?) gained as more people take a poke at it might help nudge a dalvik VM on RT in the right direction in future though.
[Windows RT General] RobbieRobski:
I wonder how relevant this is

http://www.pcworld.com/article/2018...tility-to-run-android-apps-on-windows-rt.html
[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
Interesting, but too early to call "relevant", I think. That article is over two months old; has anybody heard anything since? It's possible that the project is being worked on internally already and will be available soon, but don't count on it.

That said, we now have three ways to get software onto RT:

1. The Windows Store. Official, easy, and can be monetized, but requires Microsoft approval, must run in Metro, and restricts available APIs.

2. Sideloaded Metro app. Semi-official (no hacks needed) but requires going through the (fairly simple and free) process of equipping your device with a developer license. Still runs in Metro and the AppContainer sandbox, but you can somewhat ignore Microsoft's approval process and use any API that is reachable.

3. ARM-compiled desktop app. Requires a jailbroken device, which MS could later try to block, but for now it's easy. No API or sandbox restrictions, aside from the lack of certain features (like OpenGL) on RT.

I wonder which one Bluestacks would choose? #1 is the most beneficial to them, if they can do it, and if MS rejects it they could always go with #2 as a fallback. #3 is the easiest for them, most likely, but carries the most risk. There's also, of course, item #4: forget RT, and keep going with x86 Windows and OS X, where all the customers are.
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
I dont think they would actually have to go as far as option 3. ModernUI would probably be more than enough for bluestacks.

I wonder if microsoft would try and prevent bluestacks from the marketplace. I guess as far as they are concerned it might improve the image of their devices if they can run android apps too (minimizing costs of migration to RT from android for enterprise customers too, although it seems ipad's took off mostly in enterprise).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] loveshinesthru:
So, I need to take my phone back to the store as its acting up. the call function doesnt work all the time. I used triangle away ver 2.60 twice and it wont reset to 0. I figured that since it said it could do this while still rooted that if I unrooted it would reset it to 0. nope. I am now unrooted and it says count of 1, also I am now getting chameleon errors and it wants to activate every time I turn the phone back on. I used odin to unroot, I followed qbkings video so I wouldnt screw anything up. I dont know what to do and am running out time as I will be going on the road with my husband soon and wont have access to a pc or be able to return my phone. If it makes a difference I used the toolkit to root and had twrp. I was running jellybomb 12.1 rom. I reverted back to stock to triangle away and unroot. I wiped everything 3 times.

update: i got rid of the activation and chameleon errors by installing the chameleon apk. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2062499 So now how do I get the counter to reset to 0! I was using twrp before and that was a no no. I rerooted just stock no recovery, but it still wont reset to 0! I used an older version too thinking it might be it, 2.15 but it still wont reset.

you have to use cf auto root not the toolkit or it wont reset to 0. all fixed!

[Q] Some guidance regarding grooveIP & 4.2.1 Rootbox would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there gang.

Wondering if anyone is having success using Google voice via GrooveIP on any AOSP based 4.2.1 roms. Been digging for a bit for a friend with no luck & hoping someone may have some ideas about it's status, or what we may be doing wrong.

I run Rootbox 4.2.1 myself on a US variant of the S3 and have never had any problems, however on his i9300, the party being called experiences an echo of their voice that's usually louder than his and really makes it unusable. Works fine for him on TW ROMS,... He had the same issue on 4.1.2 AOSP roms as well....

So wondering if this is a known issue, a solvable bug, or if we're just missing something obvious ! I suppose he'd be open to other VoIP methods if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks in advance gang... And if this has been covered & I'm beating a dead horse, forgive me..... Couldn't seem to get any relevant search results... Seemed odd as I assume this is a regularly used feature for many. Have a good one!

If is a nandroid backup? is it when i backup all my apps with titanium backup? I hear when people discuss switching roms like its switching underwear "just do a nandroid backup and life is easy" - how do you define and execute a nandroid backup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
It is the backup of your phone from within recovery. Access recovery by powering on by holding vol+ home and power until splash screen is shown then release all buttons.

Next time you could search for it and you would get your answer quicker :)

So doing a "nandroid" backup it will preserve the rom too? For example I want to try rom "a" I do a nandroid back up with current rom "x" and then I try 'a" and I don't like it. Then I just restore backup from X and it'll restore the previous rom plus all apps?

Hi :)

I've unlocked the bootloader of my phone, then installed CWM. cwm was working fine for days, then I can't boot into cwm.

cwm is installed. (I can install zip files from pimp my rom where cwm in required)

But I can't install any roms cause I can't boot into cwm menu.

So what do I do now? Can I directly reinstall cwm? OR I've to flash back to stock ftf file and then again install cwm?

Its weird. :s

I cant comment on UAG yet but this Trident case seems to be exactly what you are looking for. The dust covers arent as good as the commuter but they get the job done. It fits perfect and the buttons are easy to press but not too easy, just right. The case feels sturdy and offers decent drop protection. I might just end up selling the UAG case. We'll see how it stacks up when it gets here. You can get the Trident case for about $20 btw.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Greek81:
I recently had the random menu pop up and bottom key freeze on my E4GT. It was real bad, my phone was barely usable. Sprint replaced my phone with a refurbished warranty phone, and same exact problem with that phone. Well I went thru 3 phones all with the same problem. I was told it was a glitch with a part in the bottom of the touch screen that apparently goes bad. They replaced the so called defective piece (the whole touch screen). That was done to my 3rd phone. And still same problem. It would always happen about 24 hours after I picked up my phone and it would act up worse when I was in a bad signal area. I became very aggravated. I can understand 1 phone but 3 ? Well the 4th phone I got doesn't act up but I'm still experiencing the bottom keys randomly freezing upon waking the screen. Happens about 4 - 5 times a day. I was on stock FI27 w/ no root. And also I found it odd that when I got the ota for FL24 my phone aborted it and stuck in stock recovery. So I rebooted and went to system updates and it said my software was up to date even tho I was still on FI27. I waited 2 weeks and never got the ota again so I decided to manually update to FL24. Few days after that when QBKing posted FL24 w/ root I decided to root my phone. The bottom keys still freeze randomly only upon wake. I'm afraid to ask for another replacement in fear of getting another bad one with the menu pop up. Id rather deal with the bottom key freeze then the other problem. But it is aggravating with the bottom keys freezing. I shouldn't have to deal with any issues. Anyone familiar with this or experiencing anything like this ? Or does anyone know anything about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Its called phantom key presses. Are you in a low signal area? It happens because antennae is behind touch buttons. When your in low signal area it causes interference.

The manager at my local sprint store (independently owned & operated) told my brother that the S2's are still garbage and he should buy an S3 instead. Take it for what it's worth. My phone randomly freezes with the screen off and kills the battery, even while I was on stock. My sister's phone has never had a single issue. She also somehow gets 18 hours out of a single battery charge with heavy wifi use. I'm lucky to get 10 with minimal use. I swapped the batteries, and no difference.

It seems these phones have relatively poor QC, but the good ones are great. Why do you think the refurbs were sent back originally? They "test" them and then send them right back out the door.

i doubt they will give out new ones now, since the s3 has been out for a while and s4 rumors are running rampant and that usually means a release in the near future. what i don't get is how Samsung/sprint can let so many defective units remain in circulation. you would think a recall would have happened at some point. i cant get my gps to work if my life depended on it and i tried every trick in the book and 2 replacements to fix it. Though i guess it doesnt matter to me at this point since im jumping ship to t-mobile as soon as the s4 drops

although, im curious to know if the other gs2 variants have the same issues just to know who i should blame.
