I was just wondering, does windows mobile run in the background while your in android or does windows shutdown after you boot android. I would imagine that windows is no longer needed to run android once you boot it. correct me if I'm wrong or explain how it all works.

No winmo doesn't run in the background. What happen i think, is that winmo is first needed to implement the drivers into android, so after linux/android is booted, winmo is off completely.
yeah that's what I thought cause to both winmo and android running at the same time would eat a lot of ram and we don't have all that much to begin with.

Ok I been search all night last night but can't fine what I'm looking for. I have t-mobile us. And I have the new version of Android v3.1. I notice that every time I went in app killer I saw a bunch of apps that I didn't even run. I have nothing on my desktop not a widget besides massages and internet icon. Anyone know how to fix that ? Thanks
that's normal... many apps start when android boot up and continue running in the background.
Android 3.1? you must be very special.

thanks for quick answer. Now i can get it off my head.
Sorry I meant to say froyo version 3.1
Don't use app killer. Use autokiller. Much more effective on froyo.

Anyone know if there is a dev emulator(software type) for windows that I could use to test an tweak with, as I like the stability of my phone. I am just trying to start doing some work myself, so if I'm totally off as far as this even being an option let me know(nicely please ))

There is a way to set up android in a virtual machine butt haven't gone that root myself

Closest thing you'll find is AVD which is android virtual device that we use to debug programs we write. Its part of the android sdk and gets integrated Eclipse when you set up your environment. Personally, I doubt it would be worth a damn for ROM making or tweaking. I am not sure how you would load any software on it other than vanilla android. Also its painfully ef'ing slow. I can't believe with my i7 and 16 gigs of ram it still takes 3 minutes to boot, and on my old laptop it takes 7 minutes. I really think big G could have done better with it, and its due for an over haul.

There is also the route of being able to run in vbox that I have heard, but my guess is that you would need an intel x86 kernel compiled for it....just a guess though.

Reflash your rom - backup everything you want to keep first.
When u say refresh.. do u mean deleting it off my SD and really installing it?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Hehe I often forget there's still people running Android on SD, my bad! Removing data.img (+reboot) is sort of the same as reflashing, but keep in mind you'll lose everything. There's probably some other way around it too but it's generally faster just to have a fresh start instead of figuring it out.
Ok so would it just be better for me to just run android nand. Instead of from my SD

Hi,
I've a problem with the clock of my htc hd2.
I use the latest htc-WinMobile 6.5 on NAND and Xylos latest AOKP (NativeSD), started with clrcad/haret.
But: When I'm booting Android, then the clock sometimes changed to an other date (aug.2010). I correct the date and time in Android, reboot and start WinMobile and sometimes the time/date switch again : -( sometimes to 2014, sometimes to 2010... if I've 2010, then all certificates of the installed Win-Apps are invalid and I can't start them...
Does anyone know a solution or a reason why the happens?
Thanks all for the great roms and the cool NativeSD-Methode. It's realy fast and stable.

Try to boot into winmo, set date and time, save. Then reboot into winmo again and see that settings stick. Then boot into android.
I think the android auto settings looks like the phone has correct time but will revert on reboot.

Thanks for your replay.
I've tested it, but have again the same problem.
I also tested "automatic time"=on or =off in Android and in WinMobile, but same results
Has someone an other idea?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda app-developers app
just get used to it,i think its caused sometimes by mis-match somewhere between the two os.
i have had this problem on and off with different android roms causing this to happen and others not.

First of all, this is Windows, not Windows Phone. But since we're on the topic, there is an app called Instapic for Windows 8 that is a full-featured Instagram client and works great on my computers (including Surface) As for Windows Phone: I have WP7, and the best I've found is #2instawithmassivelove (gotta love the name). This works, but it's pretty buggy and slow on my phone. However, there is now a quasi-official app for WP8 called Hipstamatic Oggl (again with the names) I'm upgrading soon, but I haven't had the chance to try this yet. There are also a few other apps that are supposed to do the same thing, but most of them are for WP8, so I haven't had the chance to try them yet. Personally, I'm just glad I can use Instagram now, however buggy it may be.

This is the Windows 8 forum thus, this should be posted on the WP forum. To answer your question, no.
