Android packages, both x86 and ARM, can be downloaded from http://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/android/. Install them the same way you would any other apk package.

Wine does not do CPU emulation, so x86 software cannot be run on ARM.

You can get Android ARM packages from the link I gave you. They will not run x86 software. They should run Windows RT ARM software.

Will it be possible in the future to run WinMo/WinCE apps?

There was an experimental WineCE, but it looks like it hasn't been updated in 4 years. https://github.com/AndreRH/wine/tree/winece

Still, it would be cool if we can run WinMo apps with the arm builds. I'm actually surprised that it works with my S II running lineageos 14.1.

Did anyone manged to run successfully any arm exe on android arm?
Correct me if I am wrong, but this will mean that all the upcoming applications from windows 10 on arm should be able to run via wine on android (arm architecture)?
