Did someone manage to make the play store working ?

There is almost no app compatible and when I'm trying to install one I've got an error (491).

Issues with WindowsAndroid encountered so far - post will be updated.

• Play store - All apps incompatible, shows few apps
• Voice search doesn't work
• Developer options makes crash
• Impossible to change layout and screen size
• No Security settings
• No unlock to camera (at least not with no webcam)

I can replicate all of those problems on my intel machine. I would also add that it requires a fairly large resolution to run in tablet mode, and there are no home row buttons available in the phone mode.

Looking forward to seeing this work, god knows I have spent enough money in the play store, now that I don't have a android device as a main device, it would be nice to get my moneys worth.

Are you running it as an administrator? If so try removing the program from Add or Remove programs. Then going to your C: drive and delete the file SocketeQ. Re install the program, once it is installed open WindowsAndroid first. Then close it and install the Gapps after running it one time. See if that helps anything.

It still doesn't work. the command prompt shows up and closes after a window with an all white background appears and closes.

Dead project?

Their website is down, and all the dev links (given at end of install) are also gone... wtf?

Not down, but disabled. The server still works, and the introduction document is still there:

http://www.socketeq.com/web_documents/WindowsAndroid.pdf

So's the Chinese version:

As was, it was utterly useless anyway. Hopefully they'll be back with a version that's actually usable.

Pretty sure this doesn't work on amd computers (not mine anyway).
It runs awesome on my brother's i5 though.

And it's back, with a brand new name. (Anybody want to place bets on them having gotten a cease-and-desist from Microsoft, Google, or both?)

It's now called Windroy, and is once again available here:

Just wanted to report that I rund AMD and have no issues so far. Only issue is incompatability with the apps in the market. Even after editing build props to a model that should work

 

[kdhupar0]

help.. problem with screen resolution///

buggy.. cannot go to homescreen again after opening an app..

 

[Zaiaku]

Same display as kdhupar0. Some apps I can get out of pressing the ESC button but only works on some. I get error 491 when trying to download from the market. Runns alot smoother then expected. Very buggy but looks like a great start.
her then expected. Very buggy but looks like a great start.

 

[nestorian]

Can someone help me get it to connect to a network? it is not reading my laptops wifi

 

[atridhr]

If anyone still has issue with missing Home/Back buttons etc, solution is to change emulator lcd_density
answer can be found here:

[kontroversus]

Well, on phone mode, as it loads originally, I don't have the buttons, changing the lcd density makes it better but then I dont have the app drawer button!

Any suggestions? Im running 1366x768

 

[sidgallup]

I've tried installing Whatsapp, copied the apk to system/app folder and i can run it fine, however when Whatsapp opens it gives me thios error "tablets not supported" and i can get past it... this s wierd since i was able to run it on BlueStacks just last month perfectly on this same computer... also BlueStacks is now giving me an error that "my graphics card isn't recognized" what a load of bull****, it is the exact same computer i had last month when it worked perfectly...


what to do?

 

[iead_20]

guys i found some fixes
for the screen showing in phone mod add this line to system/build.prop

ro.sf.lcd_density=120

for downloading apps download an app called 1mobile market from 1mobile.com it don't have paid apps

 

[lpy]

This would be the best if it wasn't so buggy. Can't get 1mobile working at all, just crashes.

FWIW there is a typo in init.rc

setprop ro.product.devcie windroid

Probably doesn't really matter at this stage though.

(And also 2 iPhone JPG's in /mnt/sdcard folder.)

Was able to run Quadrant, but only without CPU and 3D testing, so you can't see the full score as yet. Still very damn quick.
