[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 2Noob4U:
This might be in another thread. I searched pretty extensively for an answer and can't find one. Is there an app or way to install exe files and run them on my Magic 32B? My phone is rooted and running Cyanogen's 4.2.5 I figured my phone does everything else, why shouldn't it be able to run exe files? :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 2Noob4U:
Sorry for the bump. I can access the exe file on my memory card with Linda File manager, but I don't know what the open the file with??? Linda File Manager gives me the option to > Open With... Any ideas?

Android cannot open Windows based files.......
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] arock169:
WEAK!

One thing I have learned from xda is that if theres a will theres a way! Comon guys there has gotta be a way!

Android is not windows..

In theory you could port qemu or something and run it in that. But that would be so slow a turtle would think of itself as fast if it saw it
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Agreed. I want to say someone got Wine to install in Android but could never get it to work right.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
The idea is sweet and innocent but is much more complex...

The "exe" files are binaries. The .exe extension is something windows has as a standard for postfix, and is not necessary for running binaries (linux does not use any postfix and therefor also Android).

So what is a binary?

It's a list of machine instructions which the intended cpu understands. Every cpu has it's own instruction set ( a language). You need to make sure that the list of instructions you are running can be understood by the cpu. Inside this list you will find special instructions which is called "system calls". They are not intended for the cpu but for the operation system which you are running on.

So to sum up;

1) to run windows binaries on Android you need to change to instruction set of the binary because the cpu you have is not the same as those running on the Android device. E.g. x86 cpu on computer vs. ARM cpu on mobile devices vs. PIC micro-controllers. So the binary does not speak the same language as the cpu.

2) You need to change the system calls because Windows and Android does not have the same system calls.

So as a final sum up, it's not easy to make those binaries to run on Android, specially those which has a instructions list bigger than 20-30 instructions... They are just to complex and sometimes not even possible!

The WINE project is shot of doing the exact problem. It will run the binaries and translate them on the fly for the operating system. It succeed most times and fail others. But it's a HUGE project and need a normal computer power for it to run. The devices we have right now, does not have the horse power to run such projects.

I hope the info shades some lights on the problem :0)

NB: i know some of the info is not 100% but it's REALLY simplified to give the general idea and complexity of the problem :0)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] K3n H1mur4:
Just in addition, most programs aren't just based on the .exe file. DLLs and other files are needed for the program to run, attempting to port all this stuff to Android would most probably result in failing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Wing Nut:
I just hope Android is so popular that, like turning Windows into Linux using Wine (excuse the metaphor or whatever that was), someone might persist with this no doubt huge endeavour. I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to never run a Windows app in Windows ever again, nor kowtow to Apple's interface demands even though I'd like something as responsive, integrated and occasionally useful as an iSomething.

Android was my future salvation till my employer handed over a handy Win App recently that I can't really avoid using - well I could, but I'd have to work that much harder - fat chance! So I'm stuck with a Samsung XP netbook and WM6.5 on my HTC Touch HD until someone somewhere, or lots of someones everywhere, do a Wine for Android :cool:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cellsafemode:
Seriously, you want to pretend in some reality somewhere that someone will first create an x86 emulator for an arm chip that barely likes to play xvid files then on top of that use wine to run a mobile windows app rather than just use something similar or pay someone to write you something similar that runs natively on android?

Which do you think is the non-insane option?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] psxpetey:
you cant run it on android persay but you can download dosbox and run it that way sorry for the bump
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] davidadalby:
work for now

For now install your exe app on a windows PC if you have one. And run something like team viewer. Won't look the best but you'll get basic function out of it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Wing Nut:
Thanks for the suggestions (cellsafemode excepted! :p) ;)

I ended up buying a couple of iPads and have installed VMWare View, ICAB HD and Slashtop/CamCam giving remote access to my Windows PC at home. Gets the job done - bit slower, but the small Windows-only app I need to run infrequently isn't a huge load on the hardware or the network. Saves carting a netbook around for just one small but important task, and I guess it's accomplishing much the same as the Android suggestions above. When my iPad enthusiasm wears off, I'll have an Android option :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nikhiljha:
Found a Way

Ok, I got a way! You need root, and itll be very slow on a phone but faster on a tablet!!

http s : / / play . google. com / store / a pps / de tail s? id = com . galoula.LinuxInstall&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyL DEsImNvbS5nYWx vdWxhLkxpbnV4S W5zdG FsbCJd

1)Download Above Link remove spaces

2)On your new Ubuntu or whatever you chose get wine from winehq

3)Get your exe and presto!!

I havent tried it so if it breaks your phone/tablet its not my fault... USE AT OWN RISK

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Raj8984:
if your mobile does everything else then can you do multitasking just like people do in Nokia N9??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mydevilace:
yes its possible ..

ohhh yaaa its possible to install .exe file on any android device ..

just follow these simple steps and you are done :

Step 1

Install a DOSBox app on your Android device. AnDOSBox, aDosBox and DosBox Turbo are three different DOSBox apps available from the Google Play store.

Step 2

Open the DOSBox app.

Step 3

Type "cd \foldername" into the command line, where "foldername" denotes the folder in which your EXE is contained. For example, if your EXE is in the Download folder, type "cd \download."

Step 4

Click Enter on your Android keyboard.

Step 5

Enter the name of the EXE file. You do not need to enter the .exe extension.

Step 6

Tap "Enter" on your Android keyboard.

Tip

The command-line interface is not case-sensitive.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Wing Nut:
Excellent! Never say 'Never'!

I also see it's possible to run iOS apps on Android as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mydevilace:
yeaaahhhhh
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jaymzway:
So this confirms exe files r able to run on Android its just slow . Only thing left to do is find a way to lighten it up some by reduced graphics n bmp files ?

Hello,

i use the very light 6.5.1 rom which has not java.

can i install a java runtime like ones in the original roms is? where i can find it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] HC4Life:
Hi,

Is anybody know how to put Opera 10 beta as default browser in Manila 2.1?

Here's the link:

http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/

Thanx ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Loc-Deu:
just start it,

in options opera has as default "make him default browser" aktivated
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] triakom:
No such option by me
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 151jcolon:
hey , just intall cab version,work for me. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] matrix_sid:
it asks you if you want to set it as default right after installation...why dont you just reinstall it and perhaps it will ask you when you have finished installation.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] romagnus:
it is still not default from the TFLO3D. ie, tap on the globe and opera mobile opens up.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] davidbnkn:
use SSMaHo

you can use this program to map whatever in the manila
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] irus:
Ok, so i wrote this little program and before i go any further i wanted to see how accurate it is. So if you willing to test just download the cab and run the cab. You will see a file called LatLon.exe in my documents just click the app and your lat & long should pop up click ok and wait about 60 sec and you should see your zip code. I just want to know if anyone gets a zip code that is far away from where there at. my goal is to use this app with the userWeather so it updates my location automatically when the weather updates. Thanks for testing.

**Edit**

I made some little changes to the search algorithm and should be more accurate. Thanks again for testing

**Edit 2 **

Ok so I tried to make it a even a little more accurate, so hopfully its not to accurate, lol.

**Edit 3 **

Ok so i made it as accurate as posible without screwing up... hopfully???

Also made it a little faster to find the zipcode.

Sidenote. i have this app writing the cellId and zipcode to the registry if you want another app to grap it look in - "HKLM\System\State\Phone" under cellIdInfo and zipcode

**ver 1.4**

fix all problems and should be as accurate as it can be :)

**ver 1.5**

modified the algorithm a little # just keep in mind that the zipcode your in might not be the zipcode that the closest cell tower is in #

**ver 2.0**

ok so this is reall ment for something that you might need your current zipcode for like weather or movie times. All message boxes have been removed execpt errors. Also this app can now run in standby, however if your using S2U2 you will still need to unlock the relock to get update but that is S2U2 not me.

DO NOT INSTALL ON SD CARD AND YOU WILL NEED .NET 3.5

Thanks for everyone who tested.

ALSO, IF YOU COULD POST YOUR LAT AND LONG BEFORE IT FINDS YOUR ZIP CODE AND THE LAT AND LONG THAT IS POSTED WITH YOUR ZIPCODE. THANKS

ONLY WORKS IN THE USA... SORRY
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jonrobertd:
DL and testing now, will report back

first test shows Lat as 34.579935 lon -87.293103, ZIP 86327 Dewey AZ

My location is 30538, Eastanollee GA

second was not different lat/lon Zip 72087
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Xandegar:
Double ditto from me...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jonrobertd:
First tests with original posted above will let you know about 1.1 soon

ZIP was 30563 which is alot closer, Mt. Airy GA, about 30 miles off

This is cool, keep it coming.

Also, if you don't mind, How does it sort of work, I noticed Data, so its not cell triangulation?

Second Test was off again, zip 29689 Townville SC, within 50 miles

Lat Lon are within a few (5-10) miles each time and consistent.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] irus:
it uses cell triangulation to get cell id info then i use google api to get lat & long then search for zip, which is why it take a minute after getting lat and long. Thanks again for testing
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jonrobertd:
Ok cool, its no problem testing. and I can say with the towers in my area, or lack of, the Lat Lon are rather accurate, so now to figure out how to get a tighter fix on zip code.

Still not bad though, and bring on the updates. (as time permits)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] irus:
well i just tweaked it a little. an update will be coming any minute
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jonrobertd:
1.2 report

Mt Airy (aprox. 15mi) , Demorest(aprox 15mi), Lavonia (aprox 10mi) 3 times, all closer than where my weather man comes from out of SC.

So its within a 15 mile radius. will keep testing, and will let you know more tomorrow.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
Hi irus,

V1.3

The values in HKLM\System\State\Phone" (cellIdInfo and zipcode) are

not written. That strange. I can add the key by hand, but not from your

application. My phone is: see my signature
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jonrobertd:
1.3

Keep getting EXCEPTION when the zip is supposed to show up.

is this because of reg above? If so I'll add, or wait for an update.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] irus:
no this is because i commented out to much code :p my falut 1.4 is up and should work great.... hopefully

Thanks again to everyone testing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pistou:
Using 1.4:

o first reported lat/long: 33.752723, -84.346731

o zip and reported lat/long: 30312, 33.745739. -84.3764

The zip code is wrong, but it's an adjacent zip code (at best about a half mile off). While it may not be good enough to get your mail delivered, it would be spot on for a weather app.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] irus:
Which is exactly why i made this app, I plan on using this inconjuction with S2U2 with UserWeather as i don't use TF3D :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
Hi irus,

Version 1.4

issue: HKLM\System\State\Phone - cellIdInfo and zipcode

The cellID i can find back now. Perfect

The zipcode is not added to the registry.

Is that an isasue because my position (no possible zipcode?)

Popup tells me... 51,832287 and 5,256244 in the netherlands.

Not 100% the right position. But that is absolutly OK for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jonrobertd:
Unfortunately I keep geting an Exception error on the zip.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
Version 1.4

Now i have the exception popup too. 5 seconds after starting the application. That strange because yesterday it was working perfect. Nothing installed or chenged on the phone. Because my phone is ready ;-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] irus:
My apologies, i should have said something in the beginning... this will only find zipcodes in the usa :o . Thanks for testing
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jonrobertd:
OK testing 1.5 now and will let you know soon.

oh I get the exception in 1.4 and I am in the USA, Eastanollee Georgia to be exact, but the LAT LON was within 10 miles every time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] irus:
The execption has to do with internet connection. I believe i updated the exception error.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jonrobertd:
Spot on,

30577 zip lat 34.561584 lon -83.31718

30577 zip is 1 mile up the road

2nd 3rd 4th 5th were all 30538, dead on zip code

Sorry i didn't pay attention to the lat lon, I was excited it showed the right zip,

6th 30538 zip lat34.511618 lon -83.25811
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] irus:

i tried installing 1.5 to the storage card and got nothing. it said installed successfully but no icons and no program files?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] irus:
thats because the program is in the my documents folder so it might be in the my documents folder on the storage card. Thanks for testing
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] taze:
so in my device my docs heres an exe call LatLon, is that your app? if so, when i execute it does nothing. also, no my docs folder on my SD card.

here to help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] irus:
try reinstalling it to the device, i have never tested it from the storage card
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] taze:
will try. sd card option would be nice though.

whys the app so big? 2.3mb cab, with latlog.exe only 10k?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] irus:
the zipcode file is large
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] taze:
remove program from sys/settings app, soft-reset, re-installed to device, execute latlon from my docs...app does nothing just "hourglass" icon
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] taze:
does this require .net 3.5 cuz i think i only have 2.0?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] holmanm:
37.999875 & -90.863212

63664 (37.91496 & -90.86797)

Works great here. No other zip-code close enough to have to worry about, but will still be fine for weather if there was.

Looking forward to being able to run without the message boxes so I can add it to my weather mortscript. Right now I run it manually when ever I need to and manually dismiss the message boxes.

Great job.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] irus:
final version will be out late tonight or early tomorrow. Thanks for testing
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rorytmeadows:
I installed it on my Touch Pro 2 today, to the Storage Card first. It did not appear in the Programs list. I checked the My Documents folder and only saw LatLon.exe which when opened, only gave me the latitude and longitude. I uninstalled and then installed onto my device instead of the card and the same thing.

I'd like to test it but nothing is working properly. I suggest that you put the shortcut into the Programs menu prior to final release.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] irus:
I don't want to do that cause you won't see any values unless you look in the reg this app is ment to be used with a mortscript to get weather or move times Ex: www.fandango.com/zipcode. if you travel alot or just want it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jonrobertd:
hey thanks, I am glad you got it all worked out. Will use this for sure.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 2Noob4U:
Good Noob site.

I've done most all the tutorials on that site and been pretty successful in rooting and unrooting. Use his One Click Root Procedure and use the recovery he has there it's a lot better than the old ones. He has a really good download section on there for any ROM's you might want and themes. I use Cyanogen's ROM it's really fast and doesn't make your screen all blurry or anything. I was pretty nervous about rooting my phone at first, but if you can install an operating system on a computer you definitely won't have any problems rooting your phone and installing a new ROM. I've flashed and flashed and unrooted and installed themes and haven't bricked my phone yet. I'm not a programmer or a genius by any means and I didn't break my phone yet.

You have to do the below to change that :-

Then tick "Display the clock on the title bar in all programes"

That's it.
