This is probably really dumb question, but will this ever happen for the nexus 7 (2013)?? I know windows 8 supports arm processors, not sure if the s400 pro is "arm". This would be awesome to use with multiRom. Of anyone knows if this isn't possible, could you please explain thoroughly??

I don't know if it may be possible... but is there a way to have a cm7 running on the gn cdma? I'm pretty sure there's not. But maybe there's a small chance there is a way to get it running...I just want to know if there's a cm7 that can run off this phone. I have cm9 nightly running but I want to use gingerbread. .too? Any ideas, thoughts, or a definite answer? Than in advance

Why would you want that..?! Millions of android users are never going to even see what we've got since yesterday (4.0.4) and you want to go back to gingerbread?
heh I wanted to run 1.0 on my nexus one...
Most likely NO. I cant imagine any developer (unless you want to take a crack at it yourself) that would want to waste their time on trying to make "MS Dos 3.1" run on a Windows 8 device
No. And seriously.... wtf?
Wow...! This is what they call evolution? I can exchange my nexus one for your gnex... Lots of gingerbread rooms!

Faster as in ics needs a certain amount of memory for it to run properly. But I'm guessing cm7 don't need allll the memory available on gn therefore it would run much faster....just like a windows 7 computer having g now like 8gb of ram available and new processors....and if u install windows xp it will run very smooth and super fast..since that system never saw 8gb of ram in the past on a regular desktop....that's what I meant...but yeah it will never happen anyways

It has nothing to do with the ram.
Or maybe even symbian! From the 5110 with the original snake.... ya, THAT would be fast!!!
It won't necessarily run smoother as it wouldn't be optimised for running on the GN. Also gingerbread lacks hardware acceleration so that would make things ever so slightly laggier and not to mention possible bugs.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
There is not (that I am aware of) any device that would run smooth at 720p on Gingerbread unless the OEM added a hardware accelerated UI (for example, the Note).

Just because you may not like an idea doesn't mean that everybody else has to feel the same way. If you're not interested in helping then feel free to ignore the thread, but do NOT reply just to give some smartass answer or harass others.
I think everyone here has been pretty lighthearted with each other so far but this is getting real old real quick.
OP instead of making comments and making fun of your curiosities I will simply explain:
There are no driver binaries for G Nex hardware that work on Gingerbread, and that's the main reason this won't work. Just like you couldn't really build Froyo for the Nexus S. The hardware drivers are typically coded to work with specific versions of Android.

Hopefully the idea isn't too offensive to the android community, but I'm wondering if this will be possible on the nexus considering Apollo will be supported on multi-core high-res devices.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Possible? Maybe, but wp8 iirc is going to be snapdragon s4 only.
Probable? No, there is no license for nexus and therefore illegal (warez).

In all seriousness, doubtful. If you could even get it ported, you would no doubt run into Licence issues. I.e, the software would have to be licensed for use on the device, same as windows on a PC.

Port Windows 8 phone
Hello ,
now serious , is it possible to port Windows 8 phone on any other android device , like Galaxy S , or S2 or S3 ??
I have a friend who has a Samsung Phone with this ROM , bought it like that and shows pretty.
I saw a youtube with an Galaxy ACE flashed via CWM with Windows 8 phone.
Please spare me the comments like " why would you do this " , " android is the best " and license crap.
You all know that more then the half of PCs in the world are running different forms of windows OS without a valid license.
I would just like to know if it is technical possible and if not why .... but pure technical not emotional or license reasons.
Thank u in advance.

Technically impossible for now, vastly different infrastructure that requires more than imaginable work to make it run. Only DFT (one of the most powerful teams in my knowledge) managed to port a partially-working WP8 for the HD2 - but then again, HD2 is originally a Windows device.
The "WP8" you've seen on some Android phones are most definitely just some heavily skinned Android ROMs. Don't bother.

No, I get you, but that's not what I meant. If I wanted a windows os I would have bought a phone that already runs one. Same way, if it were possible to run android on iphone, I wouldn't buy iphone to do that. I would buy iphone to run ios, right?
Now, I do get that it's awesome to play around, have something different, impress your friends, etc, but I bought my phone to run android. that's me.

Any info about ubuntu on android.. i want to apply in my Galaxy Nexus.. interested
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
The reason I have a Nexus is that I want to run the latest version of Android. So, nothing.
I'd like to be able to try out windows phone, buy prob not as a daily driver. What I would like would be some sort of Ubuntu implementation where it ran both Ubuntu and android depending on whether it was docked or not.
I would want to stick to Android, but run it on Nokia hardware. No one comes close to their quality, albeit diminished as of late.

Tizen for sure. Meego's real time multitasking was awesome. Same with Maemo.

There are several apps on the play store that add Ubuntu or Debian to the gnex. My favorite one was Debian Kit, which let you put either Debian or Ubuntu on your phone side by side with Android. I'm not sure if it works with Jellybean, though. Really nice to have mc, vim or joe, GCC, package management, X, etc available.
Well... in smartphones we don't have many choice... So I would say windows 8, no windows phone I mean PC windows..

No one has tried yet. Dont think so
Ubuntu is under development for higher devices.(Yes!!!) But it wont come to us):
"If I could I would, but I can't so I shan't."
Unfortunately, I don't believe it supports ARMv6 and it requires CM10.1 as a base for the port.

Supported architecture isn't the biggest problem here. From what we know so far only high end devices will have official support for Ubuntu Touch and based on that I can only assume it will be cluster f*** on low/mid end devices. Don't wanna be rude, but installation package which is available for nexus is something about 400MB - where do you wanna put that ? SD card ?
I honestly don't know how you can slim that down x[

Could be of isn't compatible for 4.3 yet or that it requires an S4 600. While we have krait3 cores similar to a 600, it is downclocked.
Really shouldnt matter either way since I'm sure it will work, but the app either doesn't recognize our new device or, again, a 4.3 blip.

Sorry it worked for me. I even installed it on my DNA again from dropbox. I starts downloads 90+ megabytes then loads the game. Also the DNA does not have a Snapdragon 600 processor (S4 Pro) but you can install the game from the Playstore on it.
