we can only hope
Really... your opening another post about this? search before you ask there are plenty of threads already discussing this, concensus is that it does meet minimum requirements but just barely and it probobly wont get ported due to legal issues
Cool. A windows 8 thread. I was gonna start one myself but was too afraid. I'm so glad you started one because I really wanna talk about it. Maybe we could talk about winmo as well. Its windows and if windows 8 works then winmo ought to work, And maybe we could get iOS as well. I would love to have iOS on my TF. Wouldn't it be wonderful. And maybe someone could port OSX as well. I'm sure that could be done in no time. and webOS. I know hp is quitting wedOS but if the TP is getting Android then surely we can get webOS. Sorry gotta go the sugar plums are dancing in my head.

Do you think people will ever search before posting new threads?
I did search but got no hits on the Transformer. Sometimes you have to mess about with search to get the required results. Always telling people to search first is an easy copout. The trouble is search doesn't always work as expected. Many BB coded forums search can be pretty lousy.
+1 search doesn't always work.
I for one cant even search this forum while on my TF- anyone else having this problem.
Even more annoying is the same mindless people ( with 90% of their posts being negative) saying search before you post on every duplicate thread.
I am beginning to think that those people have no life - they do nothing all day but search for duplicate threads so they can post- "search first."
Yet another duplicated thread. Closing.

is it possible to dump the iphone OS for our wizards?
can you dump mac software on a pc and have it work? -- answer to your question and mine is no.
but we can create similar software -- search for "iContacts" and "TouchFlo" in this forum.
I love the htc touch
I dont want the whole OS on my wizard. I would like to try the Safari browser.
OMG .. you seriously asked ..
You're Damn Right I Ask!
Thats how we learn, we read and we ask questions that we dont have a answer to, yet. A lot of people are scared to ask questions on this forum, but not me buddy. Now stick to the question, can we extract some files from the iphone such as the Safari browser and put them on our wizards?
nope, sorry you cant, the system is totally different.

Wow man, that post helped me so much! I think that many other people will agree that that is totally on topic and is giving out a lot of information.
(Can the crap, why is there need for such useless posts?)
Flames...
Don't embarass those who are willing to ask a simple question that only requires a simple answer. If argue about it, argue about it simply, not obnoxiously. Giving our cackles and asking if this person is serious is pretty much lame in the case of forums.
Be polite... I like XDA Developers 'cause we're all polite here...

Well don't you realize that if we can't even fully port TouchFlo's finger gestures to devices such as the Hermes yet that it would be similarly not possible to port Safari, and/or the iPhone OS?
Why do you want Safari in Windows Mobile?
Its a good question actually - as far as I recall the iPhone is based on an Xscale core. Most WM devices are based on similar xscale cpu's so *if* the iphone was running Windows Mobile of some sort yes by all means rip away and run on your device. However since it runs OSX 'mobile' it would be like trying to get your fridge software to run on your tv - no go in any environment. On top of that I don't think you can even get to the system files to copy anything from the system?!
The one way to *possibly* do it is to join the Linux dev project for your phone and then try getting a Linux version of Safari running on your mobile..

You've got a point there. What I think he REALLY wants is the "turn the phone sideways and the phone goes into landscape" feature. LOVE the phone in your signature!

i second that also. and its a fact that you can run windows on a mac too. or even have 2 OSs on one computer.
I have been a loyal HTC owner since 07 and a member here since 08 (i believe, lol). As you all can see I rarely post anything. I do however have a good reason... Everybody says search before you ask. So i did and always find the answer, every time. Sometimes it takes a bit of work but I find the answer.
It is just now that I started posting because I believe I graduated from super Noob to quasi Noob. I have flashed, installed, bricked, recovered bricked, and tweeked all my phones and finely believe that I have something to contribute.
Anyways I started this thread to simply say Thank You...
Thank you to all the members, moderators, developers, cooks, and everybody else. It is because of everybody here that we are able to take cutting edge and bend it to out will. It is because of you all that we are able to reflect who we are though electronic style, much like a hot rod designer or fashion designer.
Again THANK YOU and keep it up!!!
x2 from another quasi-noob (Though I have not bricked a phone...)
You are right though. Just put a little effort into searching and you will find the answer.
Now on to the serious question... How do I install Android on my hd2?

Hay... it was my first flash ever and something went wrong, LOL. I recovered it. I guess that does not count at bricking does it???
The easy way? Drop t-mobile and get sprint with an EVO or Verizon with the incredible. Other then that... Or, gotta wait till some super phone Einstein dude\dudet takes the core of the android port for the TP2 and adapts its to the HD2. Least I think it can happen like that.
Huh? It just occurred to me we have the same... issue. I want the EVO but DO NOT like android. I use my phone for business. I own my own repo company and I'm always working with PDF's, word, excel, e-mail, ect. I know android does SOME of these but I need all of them no questions asked. It should be a choice. I think when you buy a smart phone (especially HTC) you should have the choice of android or WM. Don't cha think? However, I guess that's like asking for you cake and eating it too.
Yes thank you all here, i've spent hours reading through posts and helping myself to many great roms and addons.
I was just kidding about installing Android on my hd2. I actually like WinMo quite a bit. I guess sarcasm doesnt translate to text well.

Hi All,
I hope I have posted this in the correct area, I have been thinking about where to post it for ages lol
First up I wanted to say hi and intro myself a little
like alot I work in IT. In short I do alot of design for Citrix &Vmware virtual systems. Over the last 15 years in IT I have worked as a database admin under HP, SUN & SCO unix systems. So I have a fairly good base for IT in general and unix/linux systems.
Why the message? I need help
I want to learn how to create my own roms \ firmwares. Mainly for my Galaxy s and a tablet called a "Dropad A8X" tablet.
Mainly for the Tab
My problem is I don't know where to start nor where to read. Even a place to read or what to read up on to get me started.
Being cert'd in Vmware I have a linux VM box running ubuntu for a dev environment, but I am mainly running Windows 7.
Any chance you can point me in the right direction? I believe the A8X would be awesome with 2.3 installed or maybe see if 3 could be done.
Thanks in advance

You're welcome. There are also video's on YouTube. Good tutorials

I think I did find that one once... but thought I was on the wrong track lol Thank you very much. Can't believe I didn't get that in the search string I used hahah.
This is one of those times where I slap my head lol Thanks again dude Now I know I was on the right track - I gots lots to read.
This page is just an example page, but it illustrates my point:
http://twit.tv/show/frame-rate/50
There is the "Add new comment" field, I can click in it and start typing but I CAN'T paste (or cut/copy) - no matter how long i keep my finger pressed on the screen nothing happens.
Any idea on how I could get to paste? (I don't have a dock)
Is there perhaps some softkeyboard which has a "paste" button?
A.I. type has a paste feature built in. There is a free version available in the market.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
having the same problem
Wow, that's really a bug then.
Thanks kushXmaster I'll try it out.
Ive had a similar issue since forever, and now am wondering if im the only one. Basically sometimes when im typing a reply, on xda for example in the stock browser, it wont let me backspace and when i tap to move the cursor it kind of tries to highlight text. Also if i move the cursor with the arrows built into hackers keyboard, it just highlights text. All this makes editing text near impossible. Sometimes i can get it to go back to normal but i have no idea how. Its actualy messed up right now as im typing this. Happens usually on forums like thisor blogs like droid-life.

I was about to write, "But it wasn't this site I had a problem with" when I released I hadn't added the link in the original post????? (Or did a mod remove the link??)
I'm not a newb, I know how to copy and paste, and it works fine on xda, but on some sites I can't get it to work, like this one:

Can you make it work there?
My comment about opera not working was because I couldn't get it to work on the twit site, just like the stock didn't work either.

First of all, we're not mind readers here. If you're going to ask for help, at least be specific. Can you imagine going to a doctor for a stomach pain but then only tell your doctor "hey doc, I'm in pain, I won't tell you anything else. Try to guess what my problem is."
This isn't scavenger hunt.
There are software incompatibilities with certain html codes for text input. Android tablet softwares are in its infancy. In fact, it is expected that not everything is compatible. Either learn to live with it or get an ipad. I hear those things are perfect.

Yeah up yours idiot. I asked if someone could help, if you can't, learn to shut up.
OK ok Sorry about that. Been a long and cranky day with a big headache.
So, sweety, for now there is no way around the incompatibilities between the online softwares and the tablet browsers. For all intent and purposes, the tablet platform is still in its infancy.
Apple has solved the incompatibilities by making their mobile safari to not show the contents at all, giving the illusion that everything is all right. Heck, apple devices crash just as often as everything else. The reason most people think apple devices don't crash is because when they do crash there's no error message. In android and microsoft, when something crashes there's an error or force close message. But in iOS, nothing shows up, giving the illusion that everything is ok.
The point is incompatibility issues are headaches you have to run into if you want to walk in the real world. If you don't want the choices and want to live in the blissful walled garden of apple where you're not presented a choice at all, then the ipad is your best choice.
In other news, flash just committed suicide.
I've been hearing of people getting it installed on Samsung tablets and was wondering if there was any way to install Windows 8 on a Xoom?

For Pete's sake do a search there are several threads on this already.
(For those too lazy to search, the answer is a resounding NO)
Also I can find no evidence that Windows 8 is running on current Samsung Android tablets.
Microsoft has shown interest in the arm architecture and said that windows 8 will support it but I haven't seen or read anything saying that it actually works. I would be interested to see a video if you can provide one.

Yes, there are Samsung tablets running Windows 8, totally true.
Now, the rest you're missing: those Samsung tablets are made for Windows 8. They look like Android tablets; they feel like Android tablets; they sound like Android tablets; they smell like Android tablets (well, mine smells a bit of plastic and metal)... but, alas, they're specifically designed to run Windows 8.
You should read the news a bit and catch up.
