speeding up an android to run windows 8.1

[ryder_]

hey fellas, 

today i came up with an new idea "WHAT IF I OVERCLOCK MY PHONE TO RUN WINDOWS ?" to run windows 8.1 i have to allocate 2 GB of ram to the OS and a dual core processor i have 1.8 GB of memory free out of 3 GB on ideal conditions at clock speed of 800 MHZ with an Octa core processor clocked at 1.40 GHZ so i think overclocking my processor to 1.60 GHZ , ram to 1200 MHZ (sounds crazy but affective) and deleting all unnecessary applications from google and certain stock applications like musics.and installing a lighter version of android if this all doesn,t work I can decompress the windows 8.1 disk image and remove certain application which i don't want like disk partition and all those useless wallpapers and even cortana_{edit 1} by editing windows registry and if this doesn't works i can just install the modified iso in my computer and can make everything as low as possible like resolution ad hence forth i will be able to run windows 8.1 in my old android device.

thanks for reaching the bottom fellas!!

 

EDIT1: WINDOWS 8.1 DOESN'T HAVE CORONA

EDIT2: I AM USING LIMBO AS AN EMULATION SOFTWARE

EDIT3: I AM LOOKING FORWARD FOR MAKING USE OF 1GB SWAP STORAGE FROM AN EXTERNAL SD CARD WHICH WILL BE SLOW BUT MAY HELP US IN MAKING WINDOWS A LITTLE FASTER.

it doesnt really work like that, phones use arm architectures while windows has been made to run on an x86 architecture, you could emulate it by jumping through many many hoops but you won't be able to do anything more than stare at the desktop

Windows doesn't run on ARM chips.

You would need some emulation software, tons of storage and even then it would run pretty horrible. So it definitely isn't worth it. Also, Windows 8.1 doesn't even have Cortana.

I AM USING LIMBO AS AN EMULATION SOFTWARE AS I HAVE SPENT YEARS INSTALLING AND RUNNING SEVERAL OPERATING SYSTEMS

As most people in this forum. That's not that huge of a feat

Did you fall asleep on the Shift key or what? Also, what would be the point of running ANY Windows desktop OS on a mobile smartphone?

this is an experiment we don't care if it will fail or may work because its an experiment

I used qemu to run a Windows 95 VM on my phone,It works but if i am not mistaken Limbo has a limit of 700MB of RAM.

Anyway you can try ReactOS as a start,or any Linux distro with wine,should work much better than Windows 8.1.

I have used Limbo extensively on multiple different phones. The newest version of Windows I could even get to boot was XP. Part of this is that Limbo seems to hate having more than 640MB of RAM; on all four phones I tested, the VM would crash instantly when started if I had even slightly over 640MB.

 

Plus, why woudl you want Windows 8? It's fucking horrible. If you want to use a real OS on your phone, you're better off running arm Linux in a chroot with something like Linux Deploy (my personal favourite).

I think it lists up to like 2GB but as I said, it seems to crash above 640MB.

Limbo is using old and outdated code,You will want to use something more modern in order to use more than 640MB of RAM.

This. 

 

Before you start on emulation again; emulation sucks and you're not going to get useful performance.

 

You could try to run Windows RT though, that runs on ARM natively, but I do think it'd be kind of pointless.

@akio123008 He's talking about an Android smartphone so he'll never natively run Windows RT on it. IIRC you can't even download the system image for that. Since it lacks any sort of BIOS/UEFI, it wouldn't run Windows anyway, even RT. You can't even install it on regular Android tablets that actually came with a Tegra 3 (which is used on the Surface RT).

Hmm that makes sense. But even though you may not be able to install it on the phone like that, at least it runs on ARM so you could virtualise it (don't know if that's a thing on phones). 

 

Still I think it'd be pointless anyway. Why bother with this at all? The best possible result is windows running on a phone, man isn't that exciting? You may as well get an old windows phone.

It's possible with QEMU,Android is based on Linux and i have used it before for a Windows 95 VM on my phone...

Not the same as a full fledged Windows experience.

if your device has more than 1.5 GB of free RAM at idle conditions than you are able to select aroound 1024 MB. i was able to allocate around 900 Mb while i was trying to install windows 2000
