Microsoft seems to have ditched the option of running Android apps on Windows 10 Mobile and I'm wondering if there is a way around this.
Thanks.
NO.

So I have this program that is only available on windows powered PDAs, but I was thinking if there is some kind of emulator for android that could run those programs?
Nope.

Windows Mobile uses a registry, android does not. Android uses APK's, WinMo uses cabs.
Honestly coming from a WinMo there isn't one app i haven't been able to find thats better on the android
Hi !
As far as I know, beneath Windows Phone 7 there is basically still Windows CE running. So I'm wondering, is/may/will it be possible to run Windows Mobile 6 Apps on Windows Phone 7? Or do we already know that this can't happen because the underlying architecture is too different? Is anyone working on this?
For example, has anyone tried to copy a Windows Mobile 6 Filemanager to WP7 and run it somehow?
Best regards

I'm going to go with no here.... not only from all of the months and months and months of people saying no but from the simple fact that WP7 is based on silverlight which wm 6.1 and 6.5 aren't.... at all....
This is why aps aren't backwards OR forwards compatible which people put up a pretty big stink about when WP7 was announced but seems to have died down now that we're able to see what can actually be done with silverlight
So... no.. not compatible
Also, just think about the work to emulate the wm6 crappiness. Thousand of empty bucles, glitchy graphic rendering, millions of delays, agggg..
No, seriously. Windows Mobile was powerful, but it's just too old. It should be possible to emulate the applications (in theory everything is possible), but I think is just too much effort, and there is no such big reason to put resources on something like that.
I know it's not a specific M8 question but, does anyone think there'll be "issues" with windows 10 and adb/fastboot commands when using custom recovery/ROMs ?
Based on Windows 10 preview experience, should not have issues.

ive been using Windows 10 as my main driver now on my system for a couple of months now, currently on build 10130 fast ring, and having no issues what so ever with anything, all of my drivers etc are working without problems, HTC sync manager for the drivers only installed fine.
I did have to modify my printer driver and the Intel Rapid storage app for my RAID config to get them to install, but that's the only 2 apps ive had problems with, some older games don't work either.
on a different note, Windows 10 totally rocks with Start10 Start menu, still hate the new start menu live tiles, but anyone looking to purchase it, just buy a cheap Windows 7 genuine license key off ebay for £29 GBP, download windows 7 ISO from Microsoft site and get an upgrade to Windows 10 for free, why pay £300 for a new OS when you can have it for £29.

I have already installed it on old laptops. I wonder if I can do the same for the Surface RT? Is it possible through hacking, etc.?

Only if it has support for ARM. We don't even have secure boot unlocked yet, so this isn't even close to possible until then. why don't you work on getting the secure boot unlocked? or work on porting apps to RT 8.1

Windows 10 iot working on Windows RT
I was doing some searching the other day and came across a post on twitter where someone has managed to install Windows 10 iot for the Raspberry PI onto a Windows RT. Not sure if this is old news but, was thinking this could open some doors for progression on a fully working windows 10 rom.
Microsoft just announced Windows 10 S, a version of Windows based that's focused on Security and Speed. This version of Windows can't run .exe app, but can run things on the Windows Store. With this newer Windows 10 S, would It be hard for them to port it over to the older ARMv7 because there are alot more Windows 10 Store apps than there are Windows 8 store apps, and it might actually make me get a Surface 2 for on the side stuff.
Its possible Win10S will get ported and someone will figure out how to upgrade our RT devices with it..
But not yet as far as I can tell. Although someone got Win10 iOT with some work on the RT systems.
Possibly yes: https://www.theregister.co.uk/AMP/2017/06/23/windows_10_leak/
Isn't windows 10 S only for arm64? Windows RT devices are 32-bit arm
