Windows 10: Flagship Android phones hacked to run full Windows 10

Back in 2017, Microsoft introduced a version of Windows 10 for devices powered by ARM chips. Microsoft is actively developing Windows 10 on ARM and the company recently launched its own Surface product with this OS.

Developers have been fiddling with Windows 10 on ARM for smartphones and the OS was recently ported to unsupported devices like Lumia 950, 950 XL and Acer Jade Primo. While the project is still being worked on, Windows 10 ARM has now been shown off running on OnePlus 6 and as well as Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S.

A developer, who goes by the alias Lemon1Ice, confirmed that Windows 10 ARM can be installed on OnePlus 6 and the OS is also being ported to Xiaomi’s flagship phone Mi Mix 2S.

For OnePlus 6 (Snapdragon 845), they used the drivers of Lenovo’s Always Connected Yoga C630 laptop. Windows 10 does not work well enough on OnePlus 6 as only touchscreen and UPS are functional at the moment.

Samsung Galaxy S8 and other Snapdragon 835 phones




Another developer Evsio0n revealed that it could be possible to run Windows 10 on Samsung Galaxy S8 in future but the device is currently failing to boot desktop.

In a conversation with Windows Latest, the developer shared the following details:

“Using the fake Linux kernel to warp with DTB so that Linuxloader ( in ABL partition) can boot this efi,” the developer told us.

Besides booting Windows 10 in the emergency download mode, the dev managed to run into a blue screen of death (BSOD) error due to the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) issues.

How Windows Phone Is Turning Its Slim App Selection Into a Strength

Windows Phone has tons of advantages by sharing components (like .NET and Windows Marketplace) with it's Windows brethren. It takes less effort to produce a quality program for both platforms than it does for Android and iOS. Microsoft is pursuing quality over quantity.

Most people only use maybe 10 apps to get functionality not provided by default with the device. If Windows Phone has something functionally the same as those 10 apps on iOS or Android, the argument is moot.

Case in point: pick the features you absolutely can't live without on any phone and compare them. Are they built into the OS? If there is not, is there an app available to add that functionality? Does the solution meet your expectations? Answer those questions for each functionality to find which platform is best for you.

 

Listen to Android phone's music from desktop headphone

How to listen to [Android phone's music] from [a headphone that is connected to a Windows 10 desktop] without internet connection?
I have an Android phone (Pixel 3a) with YouTube Music installed on it.

When I don't have internet connection, I want to be able to wear my headphone, which is connected to my desktop (Windows 10) and listen to both my desktop's audio (for example, game sound) and the music playing on my phone (for example, music that is available only on the phone's YouTube Music offline downloaded folder).

How can I achieve this?

Note:

• I searched on the internet and it seems like Windows 10 doesn't have bluetooth support by default that support audio streaming from phone to PC. People seems to be able to install a different bluetooth driver and get it to work, but I can't get it to work. (if you can get it to work please list the exact step)
  
  
• This source says Pixel 3a has A2DP.
