Ive searched google and XDA however i have not found a definitive answer to this.
is there a way to run windows phone 7 from the sd card, the way we currently run android.
i would love to test out win7 but i dont want to have to lose the ability to switch to android when i get sick of windows (which is inevitable).
dude, how can you run windows 7 from an SD card when there is hardly a windows 7 phone out in the world at all?
if windows phone is ever available to the hd2, it'll be a full rom and not an sd card option
just wondering if any smart devs have any thoughts on this:
When the Atrix (or i suppose any android device) is in usb storage mode it runs as a simple mass storage device.
So is it possible to boot a PC from the atrix like you would boot a portable OS (Ubuntu, WinPE, ect) from a USB flash drive?
The SD card or the Internal storage has the room for it, but i don't know how you'd go about making either a bootable device.
It'd be a good diagnostic tool when fixing PCs, and along with webtop would make it a awesome tool to use as a tech.

I was thinking about this actually.
I think we have to first partion the SD card and install the portable OS on one of those partions.
I don't have an atrix yet but I'm going to try something with my older phone I think I can make this work just give me sometime.
Any luck with this?
I plan on trying GParted (free GUI disk partition editor)... http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
It offers quite an array of filesystem options including, but not limited to:
ext2 / ext3 / ext4
fat16 / fat32
linux-swap
ntfs
ufs
xfs
I'm not sure if my rooted AT&T Atrix will reject my attempts to create an ntfs partition, or if GParted will even recognize it. But it's still worth a try

well, as we all know by now, WP8 now supports installing .xap file manually...via SD card
so how can we do it with our L920 which doesnt hav sd card?
Can't, according to Paul Thurrott. I was hoping for a way too.....
can we do it via USB otg somehow...?
I only use the internal memory on my Rezound, not a removable micro-SD card. Prior to rooting and installing a custom ROM, copying large files to the phone by USB was pretty quick. That was with ICS and I understand that since Android 4.2.2 you can only connect by MTP or mass storage mode. But now copying files TO the internal storage is extremely slow (about 1.4 MB/second). It's not the cable itself, as copying files FROM the internal storage to the computer goes quick, like it used to. Could the internal memory be formatted improperly? The drivers for the phone on my Win 7 computer (64 bit) looked like generic Microsoft USB drivers, but when I tried to update with drivers made available with the HTC Sync app, Windows didn't allow it, saying the drivers it was using were the most current. Copying from the computer to other USB devices like flash memory sticks is quick and fine, like always. Thanks for any help.

MTP uses the generic Microsoft drivers, it just looks like a media (player/camera) device to the computer, HTC sync drivers are not used anymore for normal file transfers.
What ROM are you using? Have you tried multiple ones with the same result?

Right now it's the LiquidSmooth v3.2, and earlier in the week I was trying the most recent Tachyon (4.3.1). When I was using Tachyon, I had a problem where the internal storage was not visible or useable. It showed up again after the wipe in preparation for the LS install.
I'm also perplexed because my battery life is pretty bad, which is in contrast to what most people say about LS v3.2. I'm a noob and wonder if I could have missed a subtle step or setting, even though I have spent lots of time reading, studying, prepping and learning. I don't actually use this Rezound as a phone, it's just a learning project and I use it as a standalone media player and occasional email/browser situation on wifi.
Thank you.

The internal storage gets weird sometimes on newer ROMs... if a wipe returned it you are probably all right, a "wipe" also does a format. You would probably be safe to go back to Tachyon if you wish... Always wipe twice all partitions, and I would recommend using a microSD card, most ROMs expect to see both internal and external storage, even if it is just a small 4GB or 8GB card. I have not heard of people specifically mentioning MTP transfers being that slow, but it is definitely slower than standard direct mount access as was used in ICS and prior Android versions.
Battery life on the Rezound has always been bad by comparison to other devices, 1.5 to 2 hours screen time is about the best it can do on a standard battery in nearly new condition. Since you are using it without mobile data service activated, make sure to disable mobile data.
Also, I would recommend going S-OFF... Rezounds seem to be dying lately due to failed internal storage, if you are S-ON there is often no recovery option to restore service, when S-OFF we have more options. I recommend using Rumrunner S-OFF (Google it, it's easy to find), make sure to do a backup in recovery before hand since the process often makes the phone unbootable after it is initially complete.
Hello,
I've been using quite satisfied an X96 max plus 4/32 TV box for the past 1.5 years.
I have CE 9.2.something on it. Entered some API keys for YouTube etc. It's working nice.
Now I bought another, exact same device and I wouldn't like to repeat the whole configuring process, since it takes a lot of effort and reading, cause I don't do it everyday, but there are some issues/questions.
1. It just doesn't boot CE from a new microSD card, all I get is an android recovery menu.
2. from USB stick, it boots with CE without problems.
3. I managed to boot now from the working microSD card from the old device somehow, but it still doesn't work with the new microSD.
4. Since it's fine with USB, it should be fine with the microSD, too.
Is there a way to have it boot from microSD?
Is there a way to clone the working microSD to the other one, OR putting the working CE on the ROM without loosing my old system from the card and have it boot from the device itself?
Is there a way to clone the working microSD to the bootable USB stick and then putting it on the ROM for good and have it boot from the device itself? <- this might be the easiest option.
Can someone please help?
Thank you in advance.
