a100 and windows 8

will this be possible eventually when fully realeased ??

whaaaaa? windows 8 on the a100 or being able to use mtp/mass storage with windows 8? if its the first i want to say HA good luck with that be easier to compile ubuntu 12 arm compared to any windows os. If its the second well i have no clue.
Personally if i was gonna put windows 8 on a acer tablet i'd done it with the w500 which runs windows7 natively an has a keyboard dock (that will never mount right to a a100/a500 because its a normal usb port on the bottom of the w500 >.>)

No, not possible. No one will be installing W8 on their Android tablets; guaranteed.

If you are speaking the Acer A100 tablet ONLY I would say yep you are correct. However you are saying "No one will be installing W8 on their Android tablets" which is false. Yes you will be able to have an ARM device with Windows 8 and Android in a dual boot. Windows 8 is being writen for both x86 and ARM and manufacturers like Asus have already talked about releasing a dual boot.

Microsoft just aren't going to allow that... They have VERY strict requirements for the ARM version of Windows 8, one of which is a tightly locked and sealed bootloader and NO dual booting capability.
Plus, no existing tablets on the market meet the spec requirements for resolution or available RAM.

Thanks, and my previous point still stands true. You are too vague most of the time in your responses and it leads to miss informed people. It also causes you to give responses that may have some validity, but are wrong because you don't properly address what you wish to point out.

I agree with you there is actually news about ARM based tablets having to have a secured boot loader by the manufacture no if ans or butts if its a intel/amd based machine the secure boot is optional.
Hope nobody minds but here is a link on some info on that http://www.bit-tech.net/news/bits/2012/01/16/microsoft-blocks-linux-arm-hardware/1

Hi,
Still no solution to install W8 on A100?
Tnks

I wont say it'll never happen, I'll say its extremely unlikely, for a few reasons i can see.
Devs needed to work on getting w8 working on a tegra2 anything, let alone an a100
W8 itself being modified to run on the a100 specifically, there is next to no dev support for this device for android let alone another os.
Did I mention devs needed to do this stuff?
IMO i wouldn't wait on this, its extremely unrealistic to expect. But I could be wrong, it happens quite often.

The Surface is held back even by Tegra 3, so I don't think its possible. And this tablet just doesn't have enough dev support.

Ditching my Samsung Focus for Galaxy Nexus

Hello there,
I have been following and reading these forums for years but today I finally decided to post something. After reading about the ban on Nexus devices, I went online today very early and bought my own. I'm frankly very tired of the way Microsoft has been dealing with its WPhone platform and after reading what Jelly Bean brings to the table for Android, I'm hooked up!
As this is going to be my first Android phone I would appreciate any comments or insights you guys could provide me with.
Thanks for your time!

As a brand new android / nexus owner the main thing you need to know is that Apple is the devil and to hate everything about them

I'm also in the same boat. I'm not sure whether to get either the HTC One X, LG Optimus 4X HD or the Galaxy Nexus. I dont care about updates as I use custom roms. Or shall I wait for a quad core Nexus phone?
P.s. the phones in my signature are review devices so I have tried the Nexus and One X... just need insight

When you first get the phone. Unlock the bootloader (search the forums on how to do it). After that, enjoy the phone and look around the Play Store for apps that you may like. There are a lot of apps to look around from.
The reasoning behind unlocking the bootloader (first thing) is because if you DO decide to root and flash custom ROMs after you already set your phone up. You can back up your apps / data whereas if you want to root/flash... you'll have to unlock bootloader (which will wipe everything).

I was really pissed yesterday night after knowing about the injunction on the Galaxy Nexus phones!
Also, when it comes to my previous experience with MS/Windows Phone 7 this is what I have to say:
ATT and their update schedule sucks. Do yourself a favor and never buy a phone from them, especially if it's Android or Wp7. You will never see timely or meaningful updates for your phone.
Lack of Swype. Swype is a very sweet technology that we don't get to enjoy in the Wp7 platform. I mean, symbian and meego have swype! Wp7 don't have anything but a very crappy kb and and ****ty autocorrect. I was also very tired of dealing with that.
Lack of over the air updates. Seriously MS? I still have to connect my phone to zune and update that way? Not to mention that can only happen if ATT thinks I, as a customer, deserve to update my phone.
Lack of interesting/appealing apps. We all know how this is in Wp7.
Lack of interesting in keeping legacy devices updated. Which honestly happens with android as well, with the difference being that if you have an android phone, you have the chance of flashing a new rom/forcing the updates as the code is open source. Go try that with a Wp7 and see if it's that easy... NOT!
No custom ring tones still, really... after more than two years? Give me a goddamn break!
And franky, there's more, a lot more, but those are things I can think of right away.

I was excited about quad core phones and so on until I read what Intel had to say on android not being optimized to deal with dual/quad cores. The hardware is there, ready to ship with multiple cores. However, according to intel (they have been developing their own android phones), android as it is right now isn't optimized to take advantage of multiple cores. Maybe in the next major release of the OS that won't be an issue anymore, but as it is right now the software isn't ripe enough to do that. So, in my case, I decided to save a few bucks and buy the galaxy nexus for 350 from google. Maybe in the future when the software is up to par with the hardware I will consider a quad core android phone.

If you want to unlock the bootloader go and find the thread about toolkit 7,it is verkligen easy to use.

No one is really quite sure. Some people argue that the Nexus 7 was the "nexus device of the year" while others say that there will be multiple nexii being released in Q4 of this year (each from different manufacturers). So to sum up... nobody really knows for sure! But, Google has a history of releasing one Nexus phone a year, and so companies tend to follow their previous trends. Now whether it'll have a new or updated OS (4.2, 5.0) is a whole 'nother story...

@weeo: Galaxy Nexus isn't outdated in any form or shape. People may criticize that it's outdated because of core numbers.
But honestly... who needs a Quad Core? Is it nice to have? yeah... is it a necessity? not really.
Jelly Bean.... what's the first phone getting it? Galaxy Nexus... Is it really outdated? In hardware perspective, it may be somewhat outdated but not to the extent that it has NO hardware that it can't compete with other devices.
Software wise... Galaxy Nexus is more than relevant and it will stay this way for the next two years.

You can use Ezekeel's app to unlock the bootloader without wiping.. it costs money and I've never tried it though. Also, you have to root it yourself afterwards.

Uhh, you have to keep in mind Intel is trying to sell their (at present, single-core) chips. They're not exactly an unbiased observer here.
The Nexus is still a good choice, however. It's now pretty cheap (though may not remain that way once the injunction sets in) and it'll be the first to get jellybean and project butter.

But, uh, I have to disagree with the other person here. The GN is a last-generation phone (not just in cores, but in stuff like camera, GPU) and, as such, it can be called "somewhat outdated".

Android port looking promising?

As far as compatibility goes, I was looking up the parts list for the Lumia 900 and found that virtually all of the parts are compatible and are in use with current android phones.
Part Model # Andriod support Android phone with part
Processor Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 (APQ8055) YES (lots)
GPU Adreno 205 GPU YES HTC Desire S
Modem Qualcomm MDM9200 3G/4G YES HTC Vivid
Touch Atmel mXT224 touchscreen controller (MXT-N0K1 CCU-1R0 1G3818B) YES HTC EVO 4G
WiFi Broadcom BCM4329 (BCM4329EKUBG) YES (Cyanogen mod)
RF Tranciver Qualcomm QTR8600 (QTR8615L ACV313.0 H41470A7) YES HTC Thunderbolt
GSM/EDGE Avago ACPM-7868 YES Driod 4
USB SMSC USB2512B YES HTC Thunderbolt
All that needs to be done is accsess the bootloader and compile a kernal and grab the exstention from CM...

Sounds interesting, I'll be more glad to get work WP8 on Lumia 900.

An Android port sounds like an interesting science project but I agree that I'd rather see it get WP8.

That is, if we can get the bootloader unlocked.

well then, lets get started. The dev board for the lumia 900 is sad.

OK I see the Lumia 710's and Lumia 800's use a nokia bootloader and the Lumia 900's use a Qualcom boot loader. Is it similar to any other devices?

It's the other way, 710/800 use the Qualcomm and 900/newer 710 and 800 uses Nokia. Nokia bootloader isn't flashable at the moment, but I saw from another post that it is possible to flash the Qualcomm bootloader to 710. Maybe the same trick can be used also on the 900.

This thread lives in bizarro world.
There will be a WP8 port before Android. Porting is all about the boot loader and drivers - the real hardcore devs that can pull this stuff are (mostly) doing other stuff, like building CM10 and Linaro.

As you said, it is about drivers. Everything already has drivers for android. As far as windows the only things I see working would be the processor, and wifi. And ideally it looks like 2.3 would be a better hardware/software match. Although jelly bean looks interesting...

I don't doubt that it would be possible to make a kernel, but as of now, its impossible to bootstrap that kernel. Obviously someone needs to unlock this bootloader!

I agree with you. Priority is boot loader. The kernel will be a PITA. At least that opens the doors to custom WP roms.

How did you get the files in step 4?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721355

The bootloaders referenced in the above posts were on early release 710 and 800 devices. These phones were shipped with a Qualcomm diagnostic bootloader, either accidentally or because the secure Nokia bootloader wasn't yet ready. Either way, only 710 and 800 phones with the early Qualcomm bootloader are unlocked for flashing custom ROMs, which is a VERY small subset of devices. Nokia bootloaders are locked down tighter than a frog's ass.
The Qualcomm bootloader can apparently be flashed onto the 710, but cannot currently be flashed onto later 800 or 900 devices. The Nokia bootloader on these newer devices is locked against downgrades and there are no known exploits at this time.
As was said above, solve the bootloader problem first, then jump into kernel and driver development. Considering how much trouble the locked bootloaders on WP7 devices are giving some EXTREMELY capable devs, we are a long way away from unlocked bootloaders on these devices. It will take a lot more developer interest and involvement to get there.

So suppose that you could inject code (even an app) into a backup/restore in Tango, what would the result be.

Considering that Heathcliff74 has just now begun to understand how the code signing works for installed applications, modifying infrastructural code via injection seems pretty far off, too. We don't even know what the injection vector would look like, much less expect to try something and have success. Injecting code without knowing EXACTLY how to sign it would result in the OS code refusing to run. If you tried this with the bootloader, you might even brick the device.
Since no one other than Microsoft has access to the OS source code, doing this kind of work is exponentially more difficult (than Android, for example). And don't expect to have much luck decompiling code as complicated as an Operating System. CE is still pretty complicated and what's built on top of CE to make WP7 what it is...that's pretty gnarly, too.

And just for kicks has anyone checked if the lumia 710 + 800's nokia or qualcom boot loaders are similar to the 900's?

Windows 8 on galaxy note

Highly doubt it, it's faster and better than 7. Ignore Metro, and you have 7 but just better. But Win8 is impossible, Windows RT may be possible but highly unlikely.

I used to want a small Windows-XP/Vista/7 based phone that could idealy do everything my desktop/laptop could do. However, as I looked into it further, I realized it just wasn't an optimum OS to have on a phone type platform (even if it was possible).
Even on my Sony Vaio UX which had a similar sized screen as the Note 2, programs were just too difficult to navigate and use due to their design being model for a larger landscape. Also, the Windows Desktop OS's are resource-hungry, and do not utlize hardware efficiently enough to run smoothly on a phone.
Still it would be fun to do, just to say it can be done.

all those devices you mentioned came with windows mobile.
because windows(all versions) is closed source it's incredibly hard to get it on a device that didn't originally have a version of windows.
android has the advantage of being open source so it's much easier to port drivers from other devices to it, and to even write completely new drivers.
but even then it's not an easy task.

Wish it was possible but sadly Microsoft does not allow to. If there was a option of Dual OS Bootup then it would have been awesome.

I took back my old lumia 950 and I noticed that windows 10 mobile is getting much worst then before; casual restart after unlocking the screen, ms edge which freeze some web pages, slow app etc etc...
So I was wondering if someone around has tried to boot android on the lumia 950/XL, I think that should be very nice to have a working os like android on this phone since the specs are still not bed even in 2018
Thank you

Not being a Negative Nancy here; but until Microsoft does reveal the hardware's inner workings (code and stuff), it's a pipe dream to put Android in it.
Plus, a similar question has been asked for a (different?) W10M device here in the forums. That's how I know it can't be done.
What I suggest is: Enjoy your Lumia for what it is now (reset it if it doesn't work properly, BTW); and if you really need Android, go get another phone.

Currently I have also an android phone but it will be nice to have a second phone. ok I asked for an android custom rom but I mean also another custom rom should be fine (etc based on windows 10 mobile), just to let these amazing phones to run properly.
After the last update the lumia 950 is sooooo slow and I also performed an hard reset but same performance... unfortunately
