Hi guys...thanks for previous tips....now...is it possible to run a palm prog, which accesses the ir port on palm, on my xda?....is there some software available?
I remember a project that tried to make an PalmOS-Simulator on a PocketPC (PalmOS 3.0 - i think). But as far as i remember that went not so well...
But you can defenitly not run a prc-file on a PocketPC!
You would not try to use a Mac executable on a PC (and vice versa) either.

i was thinking...
do you think it's possible to install a linux distro on our athena's flashdrive and then use it to boot on our pc using a usb cable?
with the help of some apps like usbsetting or wm5torage, the pc will think that our athena is just like any other flashdrive.
there are many linux distro now that can be installed into fat32-formatted flashdrives.
if this is possible, then it'll be like carrying a set of swissarmy knife on our athena for recovery purposes.
let me know what you guys think.
ciao!
===
if nobody had any experience on installing linux on athena's memorycard (or microdrive), then that might leave me no choice but to be the first one to try it
the default drive that USBSetting (which i am using because wm5torage isn't working for me) is the microdrive. i would want to change it to use the memorycard instead, so that it'll be easier to repair just in case anything happened.
if this become successful, my athena would be an ultimate repair/recovery tool for pc's
ciao!
I like your thinking! There's a way to install BartPE onto a FAT32 USB stick. I'm far more familiar with BartPE, so I'll be going down that road.
I'll post back about how I got on.
i just needed to backup my entire microsd contents so i can reformat it and test it.
i wish i have 2, lol.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L505, running Windows 7 Home Premium (dual core 1st gen i3).
Recent events have made me need to run android-only programs on a semi-daily basis. Combined with the cool factor, I am seriously considering buying a Honeycomb tablet. However, money is limited and I can't really afford it, so I would most likely wind up with a rooted nook color, or just upgrading my phone (LG Vortex). Not terrible options, but my sister has suggested something that would work just as well, if not better, for free.
I know there's at least some version of android that is compatible with x86 processors, and i could get my laptop to dual-boot W7HP and Android, that would be wonderful. Obviously I would want 3.0 Honeycomb, but I would be willing to install 2.4, 2.3, or 2.2. if something newer is not available.
The problem is, I have scoured google and found nothing about this, at all. I have heard of people installing android on their laptops, and some netbooks/laptops are even sold dual-booting, so I know its possible. Now, how on earth would I go about installing android as a secondary OS on my computer? So far I have only been able to find instructions to create an Android Live CD/SD/flash drive, but i need something permanently on my computer, where i can actually save my work and apps to the hard drive. WiFi, keyboard, trackpad, and USB drivers are required, CD and SD would be greatly appreciated as well.
How would i accomplish this? Any and all help would be massively appreciated.
um, hello? anyone?
Yeah thats because only google has a bootable version of their os on a pc. They implement their virtual tool with sdk tool so thats how they want you do it its crazy..There is probably a way though you just have to modify the boot.ini file on your hard drive thus pointing it to the android os. First youll probably need a new hard drive if it can be done on a usb it can be done on a hard drive plain and simple. Dual booting is done through the bios. The bios is what loads the HD which loads the boot.ini file telling it what to boot. Not sure if that would work but its a start there might even be a windows app that will help you do this. Like I said if people are making bootable usb drives its the same process on a hard drive the bios is whats booting that usb so if you direct the bios to an extended hard drive thus booting the android os. Its the same process as it would be on a usb that would make it permanent and there is a program called EasyBCD which easily allows you to change the boot.ini which will basically allow you to have the selection of both operating systems on boot you can choose between the two once you get it working!
Actually it is so much easier. The Android x86 project uses grub. You can boot it and run from livecd, usb or install android to your home pc. I started doin this today to see what the performance benefits would be from a developer point of view.
Installation is pretty straight forward, with loads of tutorials on the website. Have a look at it here http://www.android-x86.org/
I have installed Prime OS classic 0.4.5 works fine on my L505-LS5014
I have a MacBook Pro with a non-working windows partition. (I installed Ubuntu and the grub-loader took over and killed it.) I did it because I wanted to make my macbook strictly Mac (I know, crazy, right?). BUT I still want to root my DX2 (2.3.4). Do they have a one-click-root method for mac users?

Try a virtual machine of some sort. VirtualBox has an OS X version. Download here. VirtualBox is what I use to mod everything on my X2, because I don't want the Motorola bloat on my main OS.
I dont think a virtual machine will work with the USB interface, I think the native OS will intercept it on the phone reboot leaving in the middle of the rooting process.
heres a link for OSX goto the 3rd post - h t t p: / / rootzwiki.com/ showthread.php? 3714-ROOT-UNROOT- Droid-3-root-instructions-%28 One-Click- added- for- Windows-Linux-OSX%29
delete spaces (not enough posts for links yet)
you should be able to run it in terminal by "sh run_to_root_your_droid3.sh" or "./run_to_root_your_droid3.sh"

The USB interface does work. After you install an OS into a virtual machine you have to shut that VM down and go to settings and tell the VM what USB devices you want it to take over when the VM boots up. This works, I use it every time I have to do something on my X2.
EDIT: Keep in mind the X2 has different USB interfaces depending on what mode of USB you tell it to use, and you must assign them all to that virtual machine for it to recognize the phone right away. (Also don't forget to turn on USB debugging on your X2 before trying to root)
My linux boxes VM usally intercepts before VMware has anytime to push it to windows even when I assign it, must be different in OSX. Try the link above and just run the content in terminal on your mac. You should be able to run it in terminal by "./run_to_root_your_droid3.sh" and just follow the command prompt

Just copy what he does exactly. Worked for me.

Hi all,
I am wondering if it it would be possible with a kind of light virtualization tool, to run some very simple Windows applications (a .exe file with no installation required, no registry, no .dll, etc.) within Android.
Of course it would'nt be to use it on a smartphone but on a tablet.
Does it already exist ?
Use Bosch (I think that's what it's called) and install windows 95/xp.

There are emulators like Bochs and DosBox that will emulate an x86 system. But its going to be pretty slow feeling. ARM and x86 use different instruction sets so everything has to basically be translated between the two which slows things down. If its a modern or big program you'll be better off running through a remote desktop program.
Thanks Guys,
In fact it is only simple .exe files which don't need powerful calculations.
But you mean that it will need to install a full Window OS ?
I'll have a look to these two softwares you mentionned.

Yeah, but you might be able to use a slimmed down version of the OS though.

Yes you would need to install a emulated OS which is probably limited to Windows 9x or older. I don't think there is anything out there that can emulate the newer non DOS based versions of Windows like 2000, XP, etc.
WINE works without installing an OS since its x86 on x86. Makes you wonder if it would be possible to build WINE for Android x86.
Well then, these solutions are too heavy for what I want to do.
I don't want to emulate a full OS.
Maybe later, if there are more and more needs like mine, some developpers (or Google itself) will create such a too to run some simple Windows apps on Android without installing Windows...
Hello. I'm a happy (?!) user of Win 10 Pro x64 since few days.
I want to connect my RN4X Snapdragon to PC, using usb on my pc's motherboard.
However, despite setting option, that I'll listed below, my phone is still not recognisable as useful stuff.
Without changing anything on my phone since my last flashing topics (Feb and March this year), I was fully able to connect easily to pc with win7 x64. I also was able to connect (using Xiaomi's cable, cheap replacement does not seem to work) phone to win 8.1 x64, where only the basic adb fastboot were installed. But, I cannot do the same on newest Windows.
I've done:
1. Installing minimal adb and fastboot 1.4.3. for all users (I'm the only one account here, but not sure if that's matter)
2. Having programming option enabled, usb debugging enabled and all that good stuff.
3. All four elements on that list - https://************/how-to-fix-mtp-devices-not-connecting-on-windows-10/
4. I've tried to install it as adb interface, installing it manually, installing it by using *.cat files from xiaomi_usb_driver archive, that contain that kind of stuff for newer windowses (it's from this side, if I remember it right - https://www.xiaomiusbdrivers.com/2018/02/download-xiaomi-usb-driver-2018-for_4.html)
5. Almost all stuf from here - https://www.jihosoft.com/android-tips/windows-10-cannot-recognize-android.html. Because I do not have Samsung, Odin mode is not an issue
6. I've tried to install my Redmi 4X as MTP device. However, my phone during each connection to PC started himself in charging mode (I can change it). Even changing it doesn't changing anything, though.
7. Editing the bulid.prop, adding there few lines describing how the phone should behave. I've saved it, but my original version of bulid.prop does not have anything in there about types of connection. I don't remember it word by word, but I've could check in history if anyone will find it interesting.
Drivers for usb 3.1 are pre-installed with mine version of win10 (I cannot install drivers given on my motherboard's dvd attached, system says that I'm currently having them).
When I try to install it manually via device manager, on the first time it says, that is other device, identifed briefly as MTP. However, installing it either as Android ADB interface, fastboot interface or third option does not give me anything. What's worse, even when I've pick windows/INF as my source of drivers for this device, it does not list on "lemme pick ddevice type" MTP type devices. I'm using win 10 in polish, so it might be that I'm blind or does NOT understand translate.
What else could I do? I can of course use wife's laptop with 8.1, usb sticks or other stuff, but I would like to have it sorted out.
Does otg still works to your device?

Not sure. How to check it? We use to have 16GB OTG to USB2.0 (other end was micro usb B), but we must have put it somewhere during moving out to new flat, cause I cannot find it now.
gonna bump it, cause there's not any clue yet.
Same here.
