Guys I just heard that razer came out with their gaming edition tablet and as much as I love using Android, I was just thinking is it possible to port the windows 8 desktop version they have running? Coz android is great but being able to play desktop games on the phone like WoW without desktop hosting software would be awesome, would really change the performance of the games and was just wondering will this be possible, thanks in advance
P. S I have seen the posts about the wp8 software port but this is the desktop version so I put up a new question, thanking u guys in advance

Guys found 2 things that could help with this dilemma, one is a Windows Linux emulator app that can emulate the Os provided we have a powerful enough phone, the other is winulator an app that allows running Windows games on Android by emulating the games. Sorry for not posting the apps but they are available on play store

hey guys,
just curious as it would be much easier to test out roms out before we flash them to our phone...
is there any way to install cwm onto an android emulator or make an android emulator that accepts the .zip files (the compressed rom) so we can view it on the emulator thats on the computer.
no worries if theres nothing like it but it would be alot quicker and easier.
Cheers
Bump for this. I would also like to know this.
i read somewhere that u could run android on ur computer... not sure about clockwork though... dont ask me for the site cause i saw it while i was on StumbleUpon
yeah its in the android sdk on google... trouble is its horribly slow and doesnt run clockworkmod unfortunately....
no worries if there isnt, its just the fact that it would be very nice to test a rom on the pc without having to miss a phone call or spend the time installing a rom then realise it was a waste of time lol.
fingers crossed something pops up in the future ay?
I think I saw a company working on a seamless VM sunning Android for Windows PC's.

that link has instructions on getting an old CM on your emulator.
if you're kitted out with the stuff to build CM from source, you can build for the emulator, then put your .img fils in the emulator's avd directory, and it will work.
it's amaingly slow though
yeah i know its pig slow lol
i like the idea of the vm android
every android emulator ive tried so far is really slow, even on two ssd's in raid 0 lol
well thanks for the help guys any more ideas keep them posted as it may help others

Ubuntu Natty 11.04 running on Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 with flash support. I made two videos with instructions on how to do it.
Your Tab must be rooted and you have to have a kernel with loop device support.
I use official rom XXJQ3 with CF-Root XXJQ1 kernel.

Go Launcher EX with custom Glass Sense Theme
sadly, this has been done before. not trying to sound negative though some people might find it useful.
there was a project at one point where they were trying to get it to run native, but idk where it stands anymore.
i'm more interested in getting ICS functioning like it should if they get anything other than ubuntu running natively on the tab and it runs great, i'm all for it. ubuntu is bloated to hell now and i dont like the unity interface at all. i've been using MINT as of lately and i've been liking it so far
Why would anyone try to run two Linux operating systems at the same time on the cramped little Galaxy Tab is beyond my comprehension.
Still... seeing some of you guys are keen on connecting though a socket to another OS using your Tabs, try getting into a windows using Teamviewer (anyone can do it, no skill or risk involved and free of charge!). Or, if you feel adventurous, you can set up a VNC server on Windows, Linux (any distro) and establish a VNC connection directly to your desktop/laptop over wifi or 3/4G.
That should run at least twice as fast and provide the same results without your Tab heating up and eating a lavish 1A/h...
Peace,
C.

it doesn't have a gui you have to install it yourself. I installed gnome because i hate unity too.
Anyone know the best way of getting that Windows look for our device? I would like to get it as close as possible to an actual windows 7 phone.
Currently I've been searching around the market and downloading apps, such as Launcher7(windows 8 ran slower), Messaging 7, and WP7 lock for the lock screen. Basically i've smashed 5 or 6 different apps to get a windows 7 look, does anyone know of an easier way of getting the windows ui? Thanks.

Yea, i figured someone would say it.. Windows isn't as good as android, obviously, but I do like the UI.
Thanks anyway.
You can install miui use one of the many wp7/themes and use launcher7. They do have launcher 8 but I find it not very efficient at least not last I used it. Also they probably have wp7 theme for cm10/aokp etc roms if you do Google search

Thanks for the response.
Also, i agree with the Launcher 8, seems that it not only runs slower, but also slows the entire phone down, unfortunately.
Did google miui wp7, as well as themes for cm10/aokp, but just having a bunch of different themed apps seems to be the closest I can get to what i want at the moment. Oh well.
Thanks
When I connect my vpn, wi-fi changes to limited and probably because of that, some macro apps say I am not connected (like hulu or abc for example) but netflix works and also I can download apps from the store.
Does anyone know how to solve this limitation ?

Might be a split tunneling issue...
Do you lose access to web/WAN based resources from a x86 based laptop too when using the same vpn profile?
If so you might need to speak to whoever set the vpn up on the firewall device.
The same problem is in the "full" version of Windows 8.
Until MS will present patch for this (Windows Update) there is no solution to the problem.
Hopefully we will not have to wait long for it...
For now all I can advise is patience

Be happy that everything works in desktop mode - it would be truly tragic if in desktop mode Chrome would have the same problem.
I am wondering if they will do something about about browser abilities.
For example HBO Go - it needs Silverlight to work. This means that the only way to watch anything is to run browser in desktop mode.
Since so many stuff is not working in Moder UI, apps in most cases are quite useless - I have to admit that Netflix app is AWESOME! - what was the point for Modern UI in first place?
If Ms truly wants to make it work (like it did with Windows itself in the past) it needs to open Modern UI - just set very clear requirements for developers in order to avoid fragmentation in future.
Hello, I wonder if any developer has a project on ubuntu for the Galaxy Tab 7.0 3 (SM-T210), I'd love to try the ubuntu on my tablet, some developer? (Bad english = I'm Brazilian)

I was thinking something like download an ARM version of Linux to install / flash on my tablet..
Is there any way?
*** NATIVE, NO VNC ***

Lol, everyone learns things there own way. you would be surprised at the amount of work involved to get a fully functional NATIVE port going. my first took me almost a year on Allwinner Hardware, second 2 went pretty smooth and still took 6 months. the biggest issue you have with a device like a Galaxy is drivers, and UART access to catch were your kernels are crashing (and trust me they will) but you can kinda work around that by having your init scripts dump the log to SD(assuming it is working).
As for drivers? Wifi is fairly simple to get going, its usually just configuration changes. Touchpanel drivers need to be heavily modified to remove muli-touch(not completely..read on) as Xorg and linux in general does not play nice with multi-touch. you CAN use multi-touch to emulate scrolling (ex:2 fingers enables scrolling) and right click events, really it is completely possible to use the full chips capabilities you just need to code the events properly in the source. bluetooth I have not bothered to use but I see no issue with it. GPU!!!!! god I hate the GPU mess. that is the biggest hurdle. I got lucky on my tablets as I was able to port X11 Mali drivers from rockchip over to Allwinner and AMlogic. I use my first Allwinner Tablet daily paired with a cheap mini-keyboard,touchpanel from DX.com. Its not easy, by any means but its a challenge(for me an addiction) and once you get it running on the NAND and power up watching your system log on the LCD...it just gives you that feeling of satisfaction. I am currently in the preliminary stages right now for the Tab 7 working around the OTG issues but there is hope! yes the PMIC chosen by samsung sucks and is partly responsible for our OTG problems( the powering portion anyway since it can only output enough to run low amp devices until I can find the LDO registers for the Boost regulator) but I will not stop until I get it done. KNOX is a major issue at this time as usual but won't be in the long run. It is tough probing the devices registers using i2c-tools so I bailed on that one and ported a tool I used for another platform which Is working out nicely to get valuable data from the chips via a kernel module/userland combo.
I try to keep everyone updated but when there is nothing substantial to report you will hear from me when their is. Ubuntu will run one way or another.
