Have you guys tried Windows 95 on HD2? It is a Bochs emulation, I can get it full screen (only VGA though) but can't get the mouse work. Although it is freeware, I saw it on a warez site and I don't know if it is legal or so, hence I'm not posting any links. Just google it if you're interested.
why would you do such a thing?

Why not ?
(curosity killed the cat)
me too
yeah im trying this too, i have to move the bochs windows around the screen, if you go on config, then misc and tick mouse then go on vga keyboard and press f12 and make sure the mouse is ticked it should eventually work, mine did.
anyone who gets it to work please fill us in on the blanks lol love the HD2 and it would be cool to get this bochs working, once we have this working we can simply use the configured settings and make our own win98 image
qemu
You should try Qemu instead, there is a russian port of it for WMobile, i have tested it on the HD2 with windows 95 and works surprisingly good,muuch faster than bochs, only issue is the small keyboard (BSB with pinchzoom helps lots though) and mouse implementation is no good...
I think if this port evolves and matures focused in the multitouch ( a bit like FPSECE is heading with v1.0) it could be one of the nicest surprises on our HD2!
Also played some games, Starcraft being one of them and its quite playable,even the intro and cd sound works (though lags a bit) Its by no means as fast as the pocketstarcraft port, but this is the real thing, all units and bloodwar expansion on it so its quite a nice
Windows itself works pretty fast once the vga drivers and all components are properly installed,there is one issue with the mouse icon,and few other glitches, but still nice and usable.
Im having lots of fun just installing stuff.
If there was any developer over this great forum working on the interface mainly, it would be amazing!
with some free time i will try to post a quick video in youtube if anyone is interested

I would be interested if you could post a little guide for Windows 95 on QEMU or a video. Thanks.
Many thanks for this tip miko3d!
LOL!! HoMM2 are fully playable on my HD2 using this russian pack. This is superb-completely-amazing!
I see great potential there, sadly looks like this project is not going to be developed further..
All the details are there (just use google translate):

Hey that Qemu solution seems a lot better than the Bochs one indeed... got both my Win95 and Win98 images to run, and the mouse is even useable!
I didn't get the keyboard though, there are the couple of keys at the bottom, but is there a way to get a full onscreen keyboard within qemu, or do we have to play with the hardware button to show/hide SIP trick?
guys, this seems interesting.
instead of doing emulation, can we do something like the haret?
boot the phone from storage card and run win xp tablet on it?
what's going on? does it work? will u provide any screenshot?

No, because PC versions of Windows are made to run on PC x86 processors, not on the ARM ones used in mobile devices. So, emulation is necessary.
Some screenshots...
nice, but what actual use is this, better to get ubuntu up and running and we can really have a play then.
None apart from fun... but ubuntu or linux in general wouldn't be any better if it's an x86 build. Emulation just makes everything way too slow for comfortable use.
Windows 95 runs also nice and perfect...
only thing is- i got no mouse xD
touchscreen is not working =/
edit: ah okay im still useing bochs, thats why ...
can anyone upload this files in the forum or on a hoster like rapidshare/uploadet ?
because i dont want in reg. me on this russian forum
yeah i second that but a compiled version!!!!
I created simple compilation with the latest QEMU WM port I could find.
All the credit for this goes to mamaich (excellent work!), I am merely sharing these files.
Links:
[dead]
Instructions:
1. Extract QEMU_WM.7z to the root folder on your SD card.
2. Extract additional packages (Win95 or Homm2) to 'emul' directory in QEMU folder.
3. Use qemu_launcher from QEMU folder to start selected VM.
Note: QEMU must be placed in '\Storage Card\QEMU\' directory, otherwise you have to edit 'cmdline.txt' etc files accordingly.
Generally, everything works well and pretty fast (as for emulation). Homm2 is completely playable (with sound!). On Win95 mouse cursor is a bit dodgy - it looks like button clicks are not detected correctly.
Please note that this software (Homm2, Win95) although very old, is still copyrighted, so don't download it if you haven't got license for it. If these links violate forum rules, please remove them.
Hi just a few quick questions:
Does the internet work on windows 95, e.g. can i go on internet explorer and actually go on websites?
Is it possible to run windows 98 on HTC HD2?
I've seen youtube videos with a HTC HD2 running windows xp, vista or 7 on them through remote desktop, is this possible or just a fake?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFiDZ_wBAtM
Can you please post some screens of your HTC HD2 running windows 95 with internet explorer on the screen, thanks alot!

Well as you said it's through remote desktop. So it's not fake, but the HD2 is not "running" them either, just displaying on its screen what another computer is running, and interacting with it.

They are, but it needs playing with one of the bottom buttons. See attached picture, the button pointed by the arrow is the key. When it's grey (default), a tap on the screen will do a left click. So a tap&drag will do a left click and drag, i.e selection, moving stuff, etc, which is why it looks weird to you. Tap the button, it turns to black, and now a tap&drag on the screen moves the cursor without clicking, like a laptop touchpad. The button on the left marked "rb" does the same as grey but with right mouse button.
So you need to turn the thing black, move the cursor where you want, tap it to grey, tap or double tap to single/double click, tap it to black, move to some other place, etc, toggling the button each time between movements and clicks. Not very convenient, but works.
I'd gladly try the net etc, but I just tested on my Win98 image, and it has IE and all network drivers stripped out, so no way. Plus, I still haven't found how to get an onscreen keyboard. And W98 is very slow.
Will have a look under W95 tomorrow, it seems that one was complete.
When I connect a vanilla USB keyboard to my 101, I'd expect all keys to function normally. However, using applications like Terminal Emulator and IrssiConnectBot, I noticed that only a subset of the keys work. In particular, control keys do not work. In TE, control generates a NUL; in ICB, control+whatever generates whatever as if the control modifier were not used.
Am I missing a crucial setting or specific driver? I'm running Archos supplied Android (at rev. 80) in dualboot wirh UrukDroid.
(It *is* appropriate to post questions here? The forum topic includes Q&A but the posting software warns that I'm voiloating the forum rules. Confusing.)
Hmm. Nobody using an USB keyboard?
I think this is a case of android not natively supporting this keys on a keyboard, some cases have special values in android like the esc key etc while others might have no use, but you should beable to map this keys in the likes of the terminal emulator etc
A lot of information about this problem can be found in http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/issues/detail?id=369 .
Basically, it seems that the Android keyboard support is not (yet) up to supporting 'real' keyboards in a decent way.
It also seems that Honeycomb does a better job -- maybe the keyboard driver could be backported?
Yes it seems the keyboad layout isn't defined for all keycodes...
I recently was searching for this and another problem too (2nd post)...
most promising sounds this:
http://www.kandroid.org/online-pdk/guide/keymaps_keyboard_input.html
But i don't know about the compilation yet... had no time sadly.
But perhaps fdie67 knows...
Let me know if u figured it out
Would there be a chance that UrukDroid can provide a better keyboard driver?
Hi I was wondering if anyone knows a way to map on screen bluestack keys to the pc's physical keyboard?
I know it's a long shot, but does an app even exist on android or windows that can do that? thanks
I too would really like to know how to do this. I see its possible to setup cfg files for individual games, but have no idea how to do it.

So far i found
- GameKeyboard
- GamePad
- Tincore
I gave them all a try, but the setup was too complex for me, at least for the amount of time i was willing to invest.
Aurora
Aurora is a keymapper for Bluestacks, also. A drawback to it though is lack of 64bit OS support. Only works for 32bit from what I can see. Saw some saying it was working on Win7/64bit but mostly not. Even changing compat mode doesn't seem to work.
Was very simple to set up for games, like Celtic Heroes for example, but then it crashed when I tried to "Create" the layout due to lack of compat.
Ok, I purchased the Nyko Playpad assuming because of the packaging that it would simply sync and then i would key map and i would be playing Castlevania:COTM right now after years of not owning an actual GameBoy. I tried the suggested/"included free software" available from the play store, I got the controller synced in APP mode, which only works for initial boot and in the app its self. It does not work as a mouse or HID input. One of my emulators has iCade support; so I set the controller to iCade, synced and then went to key map. Failure. I've gotten as far as getting the controller to recognize 2-4 commands from the controller at a time; however, they inputs were, I: straight into the google seach app thinger II: the back key III: 5/* IV: 8. so no really anything useful for playing any sort of game or even browsing in mouse mode.
I began re-reading all of the instructions, reviews and watching Nyko's how-to stuff on YouTube. Over the course of 5 hard hours of me being neck deep in failure and coding I don't fuly understand, I found my problem. Sense lacks proper l2cap support, apparently...
I tried Bluez IME, and its respective hid enabling apk. That did not work for me either.
So, right now, I'm looking at unlocking and possibly rooting.. I guess, I'm not ready to admit defeat and return the controller right yet. Will Cyanogen/any other stable homebrew unlock this for me without msoftware, I goe losing camera, BT, etc... functions? Will a simple unlock and a flash of the BT fix the issue or is it too closely tied to the sense input system? I'm not too familiar with all the coding, but I have been an Ubuntu user for about a decade, I know it's like the baby step, but it's quick and has me at least a little familiar with the Android's linux based system.
Stats-
model number: HTC6435LVW
hardware version: 003
Android version: 4.1.1 w/ Sense 4+
software number: 2.06.605.1 710RD
Any other stats needed can be gladly provided.
Help, guidance and ibuprofen are all greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately, unless someone has tried that specific controller with the software that you want to run, you'll just never know for sure.
Thanks to your post though, I just tried a Zagg Flexx keyboard which has never worked with Sense (4.1, I haven't tried newer Senses) and didn't work with CM 10.1. It is working just fine for me on CM 10.2.
Well snap, you think if i set up CM 10.2 it would be kosher and i could reinstall my emulators and game roms, proceed to link via BT and actually be able to use the thing as an input device?
I was going to just jump the gun and do it, but I'm having issues even compiling adb and the like... I'm on Ubuntu 12.10, afaik. The htc guide offers windows instructions, but only files for linux/mac use. I got stuck on a ".bin" step... the first one actually..
Could I get a step-by-step and a complete list of what I actually need? I've been all over and through 80+ page threads and watched an hours worth of youtube guides, many of which are thanks to this forum, and thank you, but I'm lost...
Guru guidance is much appreciated.
As I said, no way to know for sure unless someone has actually tried it. Every device potentially acts differently.
It should be easy to install (not compile) adb for linux. You need to install the Android SDK from Google and make sure you select the right component to get adb. Searching for
install adb linux
should give you easy instructions.
Android Keyboard Issues
Hello. I am a new Android user who has purchased an RCA Viking Pro 10 2-in-1 Android Laptop running Android 6.0 with kernel version 3.18.22(not rooted). I use it to work on various projects on the go, offline about 95% of the time. I'm having some problems regarding the keyboard and cannot seem to root it. I would appreciate any help someone could offer.
My device is labeled as RCT6K03W13-Android6.0-v1.15.0-M00 and runs Android 6.0 kernel version 3.18.22. KingRoot fails to discover a rooting strategy, then tries anyway but fails. Please note that I have no other computer and only limited computer access.
The biggest issue involves to two cmd buttons that flank the spacebar. Pressing them opens Google App for a voice search, which I never use. This minimizes the app that I was using, starts google app, then minimizes that to show the search bar on the desktop (which I would also like to go away). Then a popup tells me that I'm not connected to the internet. Since I rarely am, this is extremely annoying. If I wanted to run a web search I would open Chrome myself. I certainly wouldn't want the results to appear in Google App, which doesn't work nearly as well. I blame RCA for poor design, placing hotkeys at the bottom of the keyboard where they're likely to be pressed accidentally (it is a small keyboard, after all).
I would like to remap the left and right Cmd buttons to the left and right mouse buttons. I tried External Keyboard Helper, but it can't remap the command buttons and won't remap anything to the mouse buttons anyway. The Viking Pro includes a touchpad mouse without buttons, which is fine for most Android users, but I intend to work extensively with Linux ports such as AndrOpen Office and GIMP Inkscape, and they require precision when dragging and dropping small objects.
Also, the two finger touchpad touch that's meant to simulate a right mouse button click works as a back button instead. I already have one of those on my screen and one on my keyboard, I certainly don't need a third. What I do need is a right mouse button. It should simulate a long press and/or the right button.
Unfortunately GIMP Inkscape and Pelya's linux translation layer don't run on Android 6, so I need to either run Linux Deploy, which requires ROOT, or go all out and just install Linux(perhaps Ubuntu Phone), which requires unlocking my boot manager. Perhaps I should have just bought a Linux Netbook instead, but the tablet was cheap and something about Android attracted me to it. I thought I would be able to find more g featured Linux ports, but Google did to good of a job when they monetized the package manager and locked out root access. I would think running x-11 over the framebuffer would be easy, and that people would port current versions of LibreOffice, Scribus, Inkscape, Blender, ext. I guess linux users are sore about google stealing Linux's thunder when they released Android just as Linux on phones, tablets, and netbooks was gaining traction.
As an old DOS gamer and amateur Linux programmer, I'm not averse to manually editing cfg files (or to setting jumpers to configure my hardware). Unfortunately, I'm new to Android and have limited internet access. Any help someone could offer to a 90s geek with out-of-date computer skills due to some legal problems would be greatly appreciated (the empty wallet hardly helps things).
Sincerely
