Hi all,
It's too early to ask but is there any possibility that the new Samsung GT3 10.1 (P5220) can support Windows 8?:fingers-crossed:
From what i've learnt, it has the Intel Atom Z2560 and Windows 8 supports that chipset, right?
I am looking for an alternative to Sony Tablet S which has either been discontinued or trashed as I am unable to find a vendor anywhere in India selling them.
I am crazy about the IR Blaster feature (both available for the above two devices).:victory:
And if Windows 8 can be installed, that would be VERY great too.:fingers-crossed:
Please share your thoughts.:good:

it is not completely a matter of windows 8 having support for the chip it is a matter of the boot loader and being able to load it theoretically if the tablet was identical to a windows tablet if the boot loader and rom image could be transplanted successfully it might work but i would not hold my breath on that working soon the most likely way you could possibly do it is remote desktop or virtual machine but then again that is not really running it on the hardware.

Hi,
Thanks for the heads up...I guess I will have to be content with Remote Desktop for now
Peace!!

Will we potentially see Windows 10 on an android tablet like the Note 10.1?
Maybe an android/Windows 10 dual booting device.

It depends if the tablet(s) you're referring to has a CPU onto which windows can run on.
No, will never happen on an ARM device. Get a Surface Pro 3, it dual boots Android-x86 perfectly. Yes, native android.
Hello, now we have lumia 950 and 950XL which run the same OS build and have somewhat similiar hardware as older lumias. We also have interop and full unlock, so is it possible to import drivers from them?
not possible because hardware, not OS...
Also, USB-C Dual Role is not the same as USB-OTG.
But why android devices with similar hardware , usb type, same processor and stuff have OTG working? Do they have special hardware for this?
Which?
My friend's HTC Desire 816 is pretty similar to my lumia 640 XL, and OTG works on his device. BTW, HTC One M8 has OTG support, and it seems that windows version doesn't.
Yeah, look like Microsoft doesn't support OTG in WP. It has dismantled a myth then.
I'm sceptical... My Lumia 925 has a Snapdragon S4 which is described as USB OTG compatible....

it may not be hardware issue ,it requires drivers that will come with firmware, MS had no intention to support older devices with new features like ,call recording,USB-OTG,etc,no firmware updates for older devices ,may be feedback may help on this

Hi all,
I've a Motorola lapdock and an Intel compute stick with dual boot (windows 10 and android 4.4.4).
I cannot get the keyboard nor the touch work when connecting the intel stick to the lapdock.
It won't recognize on android (as well as in windows).
Anything I can do to make recognize the lapdock keyboard?
since unlock bootloader is now possible using Internals 2.2 thanks to 'Heathcliff74' and the alcatel idol 4s android is some what similar with Windows version except Snapdragon chip and more ram and bigger mass storage ,i think it would be easy for developers to port android to alcatel 4s windows edition.
It only affects lumias.

get someone paid first maybe?
android ROM is useless without proper support for drivers and optimizations... in theory you can run android on any WP/WM device but no support. porting is only small part of job... nobody want to loose time and money for "free" support... in reality, if you want android, buy android...

they will do it for free
so technically this is possible as the 6071W has a direct Android counterpart: the TCL 950. They both share identical hardware.
The biggest issue is that the Windows version and the android version are signed with different certificates. As a result, someone needs to bypass signature checks on the 6071W to allow loading of the other firmware.
What might be interesting is if someone gets a TCL 950, roots it, and then installs the OS portions of the 6071W image, they might be able to have a dual-boot device.

Seeing how even the Samsung Galaxy S II has gotten a port of LineageOS 12, I wondered if there's anything that would prevent the Galaxy Nexus from getting it as well.
A developer already told me privately that it would be theoretically possible and that it would probably be better off with Android Go settings, but I wondered if there could be anything else that might prevent it. Because I see little discussion about this phone and I've seen no Custom Roms that go beyond Android 7.1 Nougat.
As a smartphone of the Nexus line, shouldn't it be even easier to support than something like the Galaxy S II?
I just know that it'd be awesome to see newer Android versions on it, just as with several other older phones that already got them.
Are you serious??? There is no way Galaxy Nexus can run Android 12. Even when this phone run on Android 7.1.2 (latest custom rom) it run poor and gets hot quickly, so i don't think anyone will build any custom rom for this device.

I'm just curious whether it is possible or not. The Samsung Galaxy S II seems to be able to do it, even though it's still in an early phase.
"As a smartphone of the Nexus line, shouldn't it be even easier to support than something like the Galaxy S II?"
for ti Omap chipset it isnt really easy to port twrp or lineage 19.0
"A developer already told me privately that it would be theoretically possible and that it would probably be better off with Android Go settings,"
no, you don't bringup and you can't make android 12 for this device. remember TI OMAP processors are close source afaik. and android 7 on this device RUNS VERY POORLY. so it's impossible to port a12 on this device, unless you try to port LOS 15.0 first.

Oreo actually runs way better than Nougat, at least with the holy kernel 3.4.
Can someone port Lineage OS 15.1 for the Galaxy Nexus maguro?
Don't forget, Android 12 (as well as 11, possibly also 10) is 64 bit only.

That's not right, we are running A11, A12 and A13 on many other arm chipsets like the Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S3 and also many others...
Yes, it can be compiled for these chipsets, but will it be compatible with new software?

Yep, everything seems to work fine .
its theoretically possible, the omap 4460 is armv7 and has over a gig of ram, which are the bare minimum system requirements for running android 12.
however, it would be a major undertaking to port the crusty code over to android 12 AND it would run like garbage, unless someone were to try and speed up that code, which would be a whole other story.
if the community had continued like it had on the galaxy s2, this wouldve already happened, but it didnt for likely many reasons.
im guessing one of those is the lack of mainline linux support, which is because of the SGX540 in this phone.
