Let me preface that ever since I heard of an Intel based phone, the idea of running Windows at near native speeds has always intrigued me.It's not perfect, but I think we're very close to that goalHere's a video of my ZE551 running Windows 7:Edit:Here's @ knightmare running Windoze 10 on his ZF2Edit:Here's a video of my ZE551 installing Windoze 8: ( pretty boring for most people since it's just the install )Edit:Here's a video of my ZE551 playing ( I use that term loosely here ) a D3D9 game: Runes of Magic. Even though the Windows 8 QXL driver says it's hardware enabled in DxDiag, it's painfully slow.. taking nearly 15 minutes to start up/log in.Edit:Here's a video of Passmark 8 on Windows 8. Some people asked for benchmarks:Here are the tools you will need to get this running yourself ( ZE551 ):1. KVM enabled kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenf...piled-t3145055 2. Linux chroot - the one I use is called Linux Deploy ( in the Play Store )3. Spice client - the one I use is called aSPICE ( in the Play Store )4. Root - kinda duh5. Unlocked Bootloader - without an unlocked bootloader, you can't install a new kernel6. Terminal Emulator - the one I use is called Terminal Emulator ( in the Play Store )7. SSH client - the one I use is called VX ConnectBot ( in the Play Store )8. Busybox - most every root-based app uses this ( in the Play Store )9. OS iso - any cdrom image of the OS you want to run, ie windows 7?Optional:1. (optional) a decent sized MicroSD card, I use a 128 gb one that's partitioned 50 gigs or so as ext4 for Linux & 70'ish gigs for vFAT2. (optional) an SD Card partitioner - the one I use is called Aparted ( in the Play Store )After unlocking your bootloader and getting root running, this is the process you will follow:1. Flash the 2.19 kernel img using fastboot flash boot boot_2.19_kvm_bridge.img and reboot. Pray you boot up.2. Start Terminal Emulator2a. at the $ prompt, type: su2b. Grant Permission to Terminal Emulator for Root access ( 1 time thing )2c. check to see if kvm.ko and kvm-intel.ko are loaded by typing: lsmod2d. If they aren't loaded, load them using the commands: insmod /lib/modules/kvm.ko and insmod /lib/modules/kvm-intel.ko2e. exit out of Terminal Emulator by tying the command: exit and then exit again3. Partition your microSD card using Aparted * OPTIONAL *4. Use Linux Deploy to install your favorite Linux distro. Unless you are hoping to compile the Android AOSP kernel ( what the FHD phone kernel is ), you can use just about any of them. ONLY use SSH, you won't need framebuffer or X access. This could take upwards of half an hour.5. After Linux Deploy has installed your linux distro, click Start to start up the chroot.6. Use an SSH client to connect to your linux distro. ( I prefer to ssh in via my laptop, but also use VX ConnectBot when I'm out and about )7. Use the package manager to install qemu-kvm for your distro. Most Debian & Ubuntu distros use apt-get, Arch uses pacman, Fedora uses rpm, etc...7a. (optional) I find it easier to grant superuser privileges to my qemu-kvm executable, so I chmod a+s /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 ; if you are paranoid about security, read through the documentation to do this correctly8. I recommend creating a shell script to start up qemu-kvm because it can be a pain in the butt to remember all of the switches you like. ie...qemu-system-x86_64 -full-screen -m 1G -enable-kvm -cpu host \-drive file=/mnt/0/machine1.img,format=raw -boot menu=on \--usbdevice tablet -smp 4 -vga qxl -monitor stdio -balloon virtio \-soundhw hda -net nic,model=virtio \-net user,smb=/mnt/MicroSD \-spice port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing [email protected] I have this line ( it's broken up by \'s [email protected] - pass any further arguments to our qemu-kvm executableso my file: start_win7.sh looks like this:#!/bin/bashqemu-system-x86_64 -full-screen -m 1G -enable-kvm -cpu host \-drive file=/mnt/0/machine1.img,format=raw -boot menu=on \--usbdevice tablet -smp 4 -vga qxl -monitor stdio -balloon virtio \-soundhw hda -net nic,model=virtio \-net user,smb=/mnt/MicroSD \-spice port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing [email protected] 8s. chmod +x start_win7.sh to make it executable9. Start up the qemu-kvm virtual machine referencing the location of your windows 7 install cd. ie..../start_win7.sh -cdrom /mnt/MicroSD/Vcd/en_windows7.iso9a. Qemu will start up and then show you this:QEMU 2.3.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information(qemu)9b. you can then issue QEMU commands from the (qemu) prompt10. Start up aSPICE11. Click the OFF button to the left of Show Advanced Settings12. Make sure Enable Sound is checked, if it isn't, do so.13. The default connection is 127.0.0.1:5900, so click ConnectAt this point, you should see your Windows install starting.After this you will need the virtio drivers for your Windows box. I'll try to get those urls, but you should be able to Google them.
