OK, What? [Cotulla Twitter]

Sounds like the HD2 delivered proof for what the people are saying about it. It just refuses to die.
UEFI MAGLDR - sounds amazing

 

[Tachi91]

It's more of a, Microsoft you lied!! Kind of thing.

WP8 from what we can see, has booted up and if its not a different kernel then all windows phone devices are capable of running the new os....

At any rate we must wait for more details instead of pictures to confirm any thing besides what we have seen.

A lot of problems there still . . . (c) @CotullaCode

Hello,


For now it's actually just a proof of concept.
I honestly dunno how far it can goes forward; a lot of problems appear and not sure will be it's possible to solve them.
And not only to solve them, but get an acceptable user experience

It was implied as "a crazy experiment" at the start up time :laugh:

For now it's implemented only few functionality like SD card, screen output, touch screen input.
All other things are not working. I won't add "YET" it can be very hard to get some things to work.
and DFT didn't yet decided about future developments in that direction.

It's more of a, Microsoft you lied!! Kind of thing.

they can be right also . . .I don't know yet.
But NT is much more heavy system than CE. remember that.

Yes that may be right. But isn't there a deeper knowledge of the NT Kernel than the CE Kernel?
I mean you would probably not find answers on StackOwerflow if you ran into a problem developing a CE driver. Chances are higher for NT, you know...

 

[Cotulla]

Yes, it helps a lot of, but usually only answers to basic questions. Complex and the most intersting ones are usually always kept answered

Sence Nt is much heavy system than CE I wonder if it will be possible or better to have large capacity sd card or if possibleto run this type of rom from sd rather than nand? not realy a question just my thoughts. niceto see some progress in this direction good luck with future crazy experiment. =)

 

[Cotulla]

It's now running from SD card. NAND is not assumed to be supported by any way
(there is no native support for such storage medias inside NT, as well no goal to add such support - cuz NAND is too small for that purposes)
But SD cards are not really fast . . . unlike eMMC with 8bit bus inside native WP8 devices.
As well too often access to SD card may produce big power drain.

Hi Cotulla, I noticed somebody's partial fingerprint on the screen in post 3, I hope you don't mind it being posted all over the internet
Thanks for all your hard work

 

[tejeskifly]

I think we need windows phone 8 section for HD2 D

 

[Tachi91]

Drivers I would assume is another issue since with a new kernel the old development drivers are non functional... So its like running a new ver of android on an old device. With some work you can get it too boot, but then things like camera, WiFi, etc won't work.

But it is nice even with all the issues to see that in fact WP8 can run on old hardware. If if all it does is pose for the cameras.

ouyah!
UEFI @ MAGLDR!

now if only there is a dual/ quad core out there that resembles the HD2 as the software is advancing while the HW is aging.

thanks for your enthusiasm Cotulla :highfive:

Thanks, Cotulla and DFT team, hope you talented guys can solve all problems.
I have a 32g C10 SanDisk ready.

 

[luizmeme]

Does that means someday in the future we will have WP8 on old devices like HTC Titan?

 

[ali4110m]

Nice work Cotulla,our precious device is a legend thanks to you and DFT.
VIVA Cotulla and HD2

well there are class 10 5~10MB/S. It's not hyper fast, but hey not that slow...

UEFI MAGLDR is really amazing. Wow...

Any chance of Windows 8 RT on HD2? I am kidding

Nah, counter-intuitively it's actually class 2 cards you want for running an OS from the SD card. Class 10 performs the worst in this case.
