[MENTION=6083089]jeddx21[/MENTION]: There is not a jailbreak publicly available for Windows RT 8.1 yet.

Will there be? I've seen indication that progress has been made on that front, but it's been sparse lately. It's something that's been wanted for a while (do a search - you'll find all sorts of threads and comments about an RT 8.1 jailbreak), but it's not yet available.

[MENTION=273015]Bander[/MENTION]burg: Desktop applications are simply Windows applications compiled for the desktop environment, not the Metro / Modern / whatever-Microsoft-is-calling-it-these-days environment. They can and do exist for Windows RT - a primary example of this is Microsoft Office; others include all of the applications that are available to run under a jailbroken RT 8.0 system, such as those in this thread.
[Microsoft Surface] jeddx21:
So what should i do? should i downgrade it from 8.1 to 8 so i can use jailbreak?

Hey
[Microsoft Surface] irony_delerium:
That depends on your device. If it's a device that shipped with RT 8.0 when released (the original Surface RT and the Asus VivoTab RT, for example), the instructions are available elsewhere in the forum (use the search function).

If it was one that came only with RT 8.1, then there really isn't much that can be done to downgrade your device - missing drivers, signatures that are unrecognized by the device firmware, etc.
[Microsoft Surface] banderberg:
[MENTION]@irony_delerium[/MENTION] I'm sorry - what? Desktop applications aren't compiled for an "environment". They're compiled for a specific CPU architecture and in this case, applications that run on desktop computers are compiled for x86 CPUs. Applications that run on RT are compiled for ARM CPUs.

You can't jail break a device running on ARM and expect it to run x86 applications. You would need to recompile the application and target it at the ARM CPU.

So again, to the OP's question, NO there will never be a jailbreak that allows you to run a desktop application on an ARM cpu. Period.

IF you re-compile an application to run on ARM, and IF you've modified your Surface RT to run applications that aren't digitally signed by Microsoft, then yes in that case you can run the "desktop" application.
[Microsoft Surface] irony_delerium:
This doesn't change the fact that *desktop* applications exist for Windows running on ARM. Unless you mean to tell me that Audacity, SumatraPDF, or Notepad++ (for example) are not desktop applications, of course.

On Windows 8, applications are compiled both for an environment - Metro/Modern or Desktop - and a CPU architecture. Metro applications run in containers and have explicit blessing from Microsoft to run on both x86 based systems and ARM based systems. Desktop applications are locked down on ARM based systems, by default, to only those with a Microsoft signature. Applications built for either Desktop or Metro will not run in the other environment. Applications compiled for x86 will not run on ARM; applications compiled for ARM will not run on x86.

This is true. I never said anything about x86 applications. I said desktop - of which, Windows on ARM has a desktop and applications for that desktop.

There are applications built to run on that desktop - even provided by Microsoft, unless you consider the applications forming the Office suite to not be desktop applications. Therefore, desktop applications are available for Windows RT.

No, of course desktop applications targetting x86 or x64 will not run in that environment.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Well put, [MENTION=352077]irony[/MENTION]_delirium. I would expand on that a little, though.

First, not even all desktop computers are x86/x64. Windows used to run on a number of other architectures, like Alpha and PowerPC, and there were desktops (workstations, really, but recognizably desktop computers) with those architectures. Apple used to build all its desktops (and laptops) with PowerPC chips, and before that they used CPUs from the Motorola 68000 family. None of these can execute x86 instructions, but they were all desktops. Of course, the code that ran on them had to be compiled for the relevant architectures, but usually it's not that hard to port software from one 32-bit instruction set to another, unless you wrote the code in Assembly or did similarly platform-specific stuff.

Second, architecture-independent software can run on any platform that supports the intermediate language. For example, Windows RT can run .NET 4.x software, including on the desktop, just fine (though if the binary isn't signed by Microsoft, either the OS will need to be jailbroken or the method of loading the application will need some other convoluted hack). Let me make this clear, though: these are the exact same binaries, produced by Visual Studio (or the command-line C# compiler, csc.exe, that ships with all recent versions of Windows including RT), that you can run on x86 desktops. There's even a .NET program which implements the Java runtime, so you can run Java-based apps on (jailbroken) RT.

Third, it's actually possible to run code written for one instruction set architecture on a CPU with a different architecture, if you have a translation/emulation layer and are willing to take the performance hit of going through it. There's a half-finished homebrew of such a layer for Win32/x86 code on Win32/ARM (RT), but nobody has been working on it for months. It'll run some software, though - Heroes of Might and Magic 3, a closed-source commercial x86 strategy game from the 90s was one of the first apps it was shown able to run, and some other programs work as well - and while it's not fast in an absolute sense it's good enough to run old games or reasonably lightweight current programs. Hopefully, work on it will resume once there's a new jailbreak out.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davestuarts:
Hi, Just got me a shiny new xperia z3c. yay. Other than the fragility of the sandwich glass and possible camera being slightly sub par, my main concern is root. Coming from a htc one with viper installed, and using exposed and xprivacy I'm use to rooting. But with all the info flying about, I'm a little confused, even after searching through and reading posts.

I don't mind the stock sony rom (23.0.A.2.93, no updates to .105 found by updater as yet) on EE uk network, though Id like to remove some bloatware.

My main question is. Can I flash a stock rom and have root? has this been done? or is the bootloader/drm still the main issue. I need xprivacy running asap.

Thx all.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingsfortheirsmiles:
There is a root method posted by Doomlord in the Original Development sub forum but it does require an unlocked bootloader which results in the loss of DRM keys. If you don't mind losing the proprietary post processing algorithms then you can go ahead and unlock then root. Users have done this and installed Xposed plus modules.

Re: software version. I'm on build .105 and am on 3 UK, though I'm not sure if the provider has any influence on software updates. I guess it could do if your phone is locked to EE, I bought mine unlocked and put my 3 sim in.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davestuarts:
Thanks for the reply. I may just wait a short while to see if the bootloader issue can be solved. I know it will, just not when. Though after reading through the process, the drm keys are saved, but I'm still a tad bit reluctant yet.

Oh, mine is a contract phone, so I assume it maybe locked to EE, hence no update on the firmware until they release one.

As I said, surprisingly I do like sony's android layer edit, tho some tweaks are required. I was use to a fair bit coming from venom roms, but not bad. I've read some bashing on how old the layout looks.

I've read a lot more about the fragility of the rear and front glass and manufacturers of such glass, has got me worried. I will need to buy a case, but will ruin the look of the phones nice design. Why cant they make a stronger phone..grrrr Waste of R&D time when you put a case on a phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingsfortheirsmiles:
Yes I'd be patient. Lots of users are asking when this will be available but we have to give the devs time to get their hands on the device and then to cook up the good stuff, be they other root exploits or custom ROMs. I prefer the AOSP look personally but Sony's skin isn't that bad and has good bits like the power saving modes and FM radio support.

I also share your concern over the device's hardiness, especially over how easy it is to scratch the back glass. At present I'm using a slim terrapin case: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...200_QL40&qid=1413234393&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1 with the matte front screen protector provided in the retail box. I'll use these until some 9H front and back glass protector sets come out as that's what I liked on my z1c.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pricey2009:
I also have the terrapin case & stock matte.. Holding up well so far :thumbup:

[General Questions and Answers] Wobzy:
Hi guys,

Basically my power button is sticky.

I want to have my hardware 'home' key behave as power on single press.

I've gone through the system and androidui shortcuts in launcher settings / behavior / home key / activities, but can't find any api string for the boot menu.

Can I achieve the desired result natively or do I need an xposed mod / 3rd party app?

Cheers.

Has anyone else noticed this in the last week or so? My battery is regularly higher than 60% at the end of a 16 hour day. Right now it's at 78%, and I took it off the charger 12 hours ago! I've only had the watch for a couple weeks, but it seems to be laying much longer since that update on the 6th or 7th.

I'm using the rotate dial, and have ambient mode off. I may go back to trying ambient mode since noticing the improvement.

I agree it is better. I have also switched to ambient mode on because I like the ability to glance at the watch to see the time. My watch can go the entire day (~17 hours) without having to recharge.

Try wiping cache in recovery... It should refresh the nova launcher data that way it can reload everything. Chance's are something just went wrong when installing it.

Best advice right now

Run the programs as admin and install drivers for Xperia Z2, fastboot and flashmode

Great, I do use Windows 8:/ and I'm using a laptop, and am the only account on here so I'm admin. I've tried multiple times to install the drivers but they don't seem to be installing as I still get the same error code and like I say, when I go to install then it seems like they install as I lose some memory but then when I click 'finish' it deletes a load of files and my memory goes back to what it originally was. So I'm thinking it may automatically be uninstalling it? My laptop only has 2.8gb left so maybe it's uninstalling it again as I have low memory? I have no idea
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Oh definatly, the problem is where there are some driver verifacation issues, you have to disable something, try googling or using the XDA

An then if u can manage internet connection bcz sometimes it downloads the boot drivers for your phone(optional).

Click flash button select flashmode

Select ur ftf n then you are good to go...i see u are so confused...!!!

Yeah I genuinely have no idea haha. I definitely have the right FTF, I've gone onto the Flashtool folder and click on a 'flashtool-drivers' application and ticked everything on the long list and it installed them all and my memory on my laptop went down quite a bit but then as soon as I clicked finish it said it was deleting a load of files, and my memory went back up to the original 2.8gb. I've again just gone to flash the phone but I get the same error code. Could this be because my phone literally has no OS? Like I deleted it without knowing what I was doing as I was trying to remove a previously installed Custom ROM and now when I go to turn the phone on it stays stuck on the 'Sony logo' and now like I say it just won't fully flash. It's this that's stopping it and I don't know how to fix it or why that's coming up:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rudyo78427:
Are you refering to the option to add 'New APN'? I have a post regarding this. Not sure if it was just me, but did some testing. Do you even have the option in the 3-button menu for 'New APN' or just 'Reset to Default'? I believe after the 4.4.3 firmware update, verizon or htc removed this feature and using an auto detect network for sim cards. So not all SIM cards will register the data/apn information and you will not be able to add it. You need to downgrade back to the 4.4.2 firmware and older ROM.
