BetaPlayer currently doesn't support WMV because it rely on wmvdecoder.dll from Windows Media 9. Anyone can extract this file out from the rom? Thanks.

Windows 7 on shift?

Has anyone tried installing the pre-beta version of Windows 7 (build 6801) on the HTC Shift?
I read an article on microsoft.com stating that it would have no problem running on systems with only 1GB RAM.
My main concern is if the Vista drivers will work properly on Windows 7.
Edit: I noticed that someone already started a thread about this topic in the "Shift Upgrading" category.
Windows 7 Pre-Beta on the Shift?

[MOD][x86][ARM] Genymotion ARM Translation support

Thread is dead. Files are no more available and won't be any more.
Code:
Hello XDA!
I recently installed Genymotion on my PC with Windows because I needed to use CamScanner to present some work in college.
[I]Note that I have no physical device and I can not buy one. [/I]
Before, I had installed Android x86 in VirtualBox but when you open a JPEG in CamScanner it immediately crashes.
As a fairly common phrase where I live says: [B]Necessity is the mother of invention[/B].
I installed the Genymotion ARM Translation found in this thread: [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528952[/url]
but it did not work at all, CamScanner and other apps closed immediately.
So I decided to do something and did a recompilation of functional ARM libraries, now CamScanner works great along with the rest of gapps.
So I share my find on XDA:
This YouTube video proof how it works: [B]Video was reported and taken down from YouTube.[/B]
In the video's description you'll find the URL for downloading the file using Google Drive. [I]Because of the reported video (without reason), the links are lost, my Google Drive is empty and all versions of this are lost forever.[/I]
This flashable ZIP makes work the apps I need, these are the list of apps that closed I've tried and work:
CamScanner, Netflix, Derby Highway, Chrome Remote Desktop (partially works), Hangouts, Voice Search.
Please: Note that the file is compressed using the 7-zip format. There is no Android device that can flash a 7-zip file, that includes GenyMotion. In that 7-zip file you'll find 2 files, one a text file which contains the SHA sums for the file and other zip file. That zip file, "libhoudini.zip" is the flashable file. That means, you MUST have to uncompress the 7-zip file in order to access to the zip flashable file.
The specs of my virtual machine:
Android: Android 4.4.4 KitKat
Genymotion: 2.3.0
Virtualbox: 4.3.16
Host Operating System: Windows 8.1 64bit
The rest of this thread is to report what work and what doesn't work. For best results, use this example as a basis:
[CODE]1. CamScanner: Working. Android 4.4.4, 2.3.0 Genymotion, Virtualbox 4.3.16, Host: Windows 8.1 64bit Intel.
2. Chrome Remote Desktop: partially works (crash on the fly). Android 4.4.4, 2.3.0 Genymotion, Virtualbox 4.3.16, Host: Windows 8.1 64bit Intel.
3. Game Of War: partially works (crash in 1st screen). Android 4.4.4, 2.3.0 Genymotion, Virtualbox 4.3.16, Host: Windows 8.1 64bit Intel.
If it worked for you, press the thanks button (follow the rules). This thread is NOT dedicated to Genymotion problems (for example Drag and drop does not work, player.exe crashes, etc.).
Any suggestions are welcome.[/CODE]
can someone confirm how to make "Game of War" work on genymotion ??
I tried installing Arm 1.1 and Gapps, tweaking the Vbox and what not... nothing helps the app just starts and closes a few seconds later.
Well, this one works better with gapps than the one I found on github. Still couldn't get Age of Ishtaria to work though, logcat reports "Unsupported feature (ID:0x1140001a)." for houdini now, rather than the segfault it was getting with the other version. Using linux geny 2.3.0 with 4.4.4.
hey dude,
so your a super intelligent guy and you managed to fix genymotion to run some apps, but can you make Game of War to work too ?
that would be amazing !
Keep us posted on your great job
Good attempt at fixing the issue - I have tried every OS available with Genymotion and the issue has not been resolved. What all of these OSes have in common is the same Google Play appstore version, eventually, after the updates, so I wonder if that is the culprit. Perhaps we could find a way to run an older version of the appstore without it updating....I am just not sure.
were is the download i would like to try it!
You didn't trust me even with the checksums, great. But reporting the YouTube video was not needed (happen long time ago, I personally taken down the video on the report and didn't mind it till today, when I found a new answer to this thread).
Actually, I don't understand, I didn't wanted anything but share something that may help you (and actually, this helped some people), that was not fair. If some mod read this, please close this thread immediately. If you keep a copy of the 7-zip, you can do whatever you want but please don't even mention me.
However, I have to say that I found how and where Genymotion found it's libraries, and I though it would be nice to keep them update. But you didn't wanted it and I understand. Please, don't ask me about this, I will never make a mistake like this again in XDA. I have a real life and a reputation to keep clean, this didn't help me with it.

Nope. If you are wondering I get the libs using a custom method over some x86 system image.
