I people. Looking the backtrack site to download this amazin OS I found a mysterious versione. we can download a 32-bit architecture and 64 bit. But now there is arm architecture also
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/downloads/
please look that
ok. I knew that instrunction for running backtrack on device exists but I thouk was only an emulation took from 32 bit architecture instead It is a real installation but with a arm architecture or I wrong somethings?
this build is for low powered arm netbooks such as the augen netbook and also for embedded devices ....don't get me wrong it would be awesome to have this bad boy running on the sensation but it would take some modding to get it to work.

Today Canonical released the Ubuntu MID Edition 8.04.
MID(Mobile Internet Device) is specialy made for mobile devices with touchscreen capabilities.
It looks similar to googles OS, but I don't think it has phone cababilities.
My question is, would it work on the Kaiser?
They do say it is codeveloped with Intel, and it takes advantage of the Atom but no specific requirements.
Site
Maybe it'll properly sync with ubuntu
Mu only thing is that it was meant to be used on the Atom platform not really mobile phone chips. It looks amazing and would totally amazing if it was to run on the kaisers. Thinking about it, it should be possible since there are some forms of Linux running on the kaiser.
Thats why I asked it.
I found something on the Ubuntu mobile wiki
Platforms
Our current platform targets are Intel's MID (Mobile Internet Device) platforms, code-named McCaslin and Menlow. Examples include:

It also requires OpelGL 3D, that might be a problem, or are there propper Linux drivers available for qualcom?
Its currently for MIDs, which means x86 based computers. However, Ubuntu is working on a PDA version for ARM processors like the Kaiser. I believe that it will first be released for the Sharp Zauruses, which already run Linux, and therefore are easy to port to. I do not know if it will or CAN be ported to the Kaiser, as the Kaiser is closed source hardware, so it would have to be completely reverse engineered. Even if Linux could be made to run, it would lack ANY specialized drivers for the Kaiser, so it would probably be slow and buggy.
Just like it is already
x86 platforms like intel atom and via nano need around 10 W of power, while an arm architecture operates at 0.1 W.
We are still a couple of years away from seeing x86 based phones.
I am just wondering. I am a huge fan of android and am using Desire HD now. But I was wondering if a dual core tablet can be installed with Windows 7? I only need the W7 just to sync with my android phone. Maybe I can install RUU or any other ROMS in the future using my tablet.
Not quite sure what your asking here... Dual Core x86 processor tablets would probably run windows 7, Dual Core Arm Processor can not as windows is x86 processor specification and Android is Arm. All android devices are compatible to the best of my knowledge with windows 7 so if your worried about getting an android tablet and not having support for it then don't worry. Other than that i hope i answered your question.
Moved to general
Windows 7 can only be installed on x86 systems. Older versions of Windows NT could be installed on other CPUs like Alpha and Power PC and Windows server has a version that can run on Itanium/IA-64 but they are dropping it.
Microsoft has claimed Windows 8 will run on ARM systems so when it comes out you may be able to use it but most programs won't run it.

Does the dual boot Viewpad 10 use (x)86 processors? Is Android 1.6 the last or latest Android OS that can run on the (x)86 platform?
I'm just curious as to how Viewsonic gets both OS's to run on viewpad 10 platform, so this looks like a good place to ask about that.
Yes, Atom x86 CPU and Android 1.6 (last version to support x86).

Viewsonic's Viewpad 10 uses the intel atom cpu to my knowledge. I don't know the details behind it but have read that Android 1.6 is the last version of Android that can run on x86 architecture. Maybe a dev. will be able to explain that part.
It would have made lots of sense for Google to make 2.x and up compatible with x86/x64 but I suppose there may be politics involved (imho, it can't be much else, since Linux runs on everything and Android is based almost entirely on Linux)....or maybe it would be more work or too much code needed. Since 2.2 is meant primarily for phones first, maybe they didn't see a need to bloat it up.
I wouldn't mind if Android needed a 650MB-1GB install as long as it works well.
Here's a snippet, you will be able to find more if you google it....though I can't find a reason as to why myself.
Hi,
I don't know if VS did their own work or may have used stuff from the Android X86 project:
http://www.android-x86.org/
or something similar (I think that there are other efforts like this)...
As you can see, the project is currently on 1.6, but:
http://www.android-x86.org/#What_we_are_working_on_now
says their working on Froyo:
What we are working on now
Port Froyo to x86 (froyo-x86 branch)
OpenGL hardware accelerator to froyo-x86 (olv, cwhuang)
New x86 toolchain (cwhuang)
Ethernet update (Yi)
Automount for new vold (cwhuang)
New target sparta (Doug)
New target viewpad10 (Al Sutton)
New target viliv s5 (okwon)
Mplayer porting (okwon
BTW, if you have a Windows PC, you can actually run that Android (1.6) on it. I had done that earlier, before getting my Gtab.

As one of the members pointed out, and if you check out the hands ons that have been done recently, ViewPad10 does indeed use Androidx86 project. GREAT News is, they just released Froyo-x86 (http://www.android-x86.org/releases/release_2_2) and there is a specific ISO for the ViewPad10. I actually just ordered 5 from one of my vendors (1 to keep and 4 to sell) so I am definitely going to pop that Froyo-x86 in mine and see how it whirls! I'm very excited by the prospects of a dual boot Froyo7 tablet!
Did you load the 2.2 iso onto one, and if so how well did it work? I just want to use a copy of android so I can use the apps I already bought for my phone.
Some of the latest so called 'dual-boot' tablets are actually going to be using an android virtual machine which will run within windows.
If anyone's comfortable compiling their own kernel and drivers then they stand a chance of 'rolling their own' VM otherwise unless someone with the knowhow takes up the banner for a particular device, I would consider this option out of reach.
Which tablet devices have you seen running an Android VM? I ran the 2.2 live USB on my VPad10 but it was missing wifi. Everything else seems to run great. Its fast and functional! Except the wifi. :-(

the v10 specific iso didn't support wifi?!?!?!?
VPad and Froyo
I've picked up a VPad10 and have tried upgrading Android to 2.2 and have found that the interface buttons seemed out of place . I had a hard time moving backwards through the various pages - I had to tap the upper right corner on the bar and tap a second time in order to move back to the previous screen.
I found the interface too different from the standard to make it useful. I've since reverted back to 1.6
I had difficulty loading the Froyo (.img.gz) version. I've tried opening the gz on my Linux machine (vcersus my Windows box) and still get the same problem. Can the Froyo beta be loaded as iso image like the others, it would make my life easier?
I placed an order for the 10" gtablet the other day. This thread saved me from some dissapointment by trying to save a couple bucks.

Just bought mine through the woot deal...
Can it be done? I cant seem to find any information on it...
Short answer: No
Windows is an Intel based operating system
Windows Phones have intel based processors like the "Intel Atom"
Android is a linux based operating system that is designed to run on ARMx based processors like the Snapdragon and TegraII.
Any way to run a virtual machine and run it or a bootable usb of windows 7?

Not too sure about Virtual Machine but I did read somewhere on this forum that someone successfully ran "Ubuntu" on the GTAB so there may a VM involvement somewhere in there.
Search "Ubuntu" on the "Viewsonic G Tablet" forums..

False... Windows phone 7 is currently designed to run on ARM, just like all other major phone OS's.

The reason for this is Ubuntu has a version of it that is compiled for ARM processors, it is not running in a VM.
Windows 7 will NEVER work on the gtablet hardware. Never. Ever.
Got it? . Just want to make that clear.

WHAT the HELL? I'm just trying to help the guy out.
How about being a contributor and not being a Jerk about it!
If I'm wrong I'll own up to it. XDA is about helping and not about being condescending to other members!
Sorry, wasn't trying to come off as a jerk, but after reading my post it did sound like it. I just have read enough of the threads on this subject to know the reasons it won't work.
Windows 7 is built for x86 processors.
That would be your intel atoms, pentiums of late, core i5's i7's whatever.
Windows Phone 7 runs on a version of Windows CE. Windows CE was built for ARM processors. These are the processors that you find in your modern smartphones be it iPhone, and all Android phones.
ARM processors are well suited to low power mobile processing hence they're use in about everything.
Linux has been built to run on both ARM and x86 processors, Windows 7 has not. Windows CE does but it's a different product from Windows 7.
Microsoft is rumored to be working on a Windows OS that will be made for ARM processors but one problem they know they will have is that all the current Windows programs won't run on this new OS.
The dual booting Viewsonic tablet that was out was using an Intel Atoom processor hence why it was able to run both android and Windows.
Sorry if this question was already asked(i could not find it any where)
Sorry if this is in wrong place
so here is the question
I know that all android tablet&phones are built with ARM processors.But what is the difference between ARM and desktop processors
they come in single core, dual core, quad core, octal core (read:Samsung To Unveil 8-Core ARM Chip In February so they have a bit more power than the PC's in 2005's so why cant they run a full functional windows 8 or linux(android is based on linux) or win7 or winxp?
win xp need only 512 mb ram but now a days we have 2Gb ram Tablets why do they need android instead of it why cant they insall windows
OR
Is there a way to run windows in tablet (not by emulating)??
ARM is the architecture, different from x86/64, an OS not designed for an architecture cannot run on it...
This is as far as I understand why Ubuntu OS uses CM10 as base, instead of rewriting the whole OS from scratch.

Arm is something like proccesor designed only for small devices like mobiles..
It is at low level for now,later days it may reach to a good speed proccesor.
Since it is for small devices, it will not carry much load, as pc processor does..:thumbup:
Hello! I had absolutely no idea where to put this thread so please direct me if need be, but I HAVE AN IDEA!!! So with the launch of 64bit Marshmallow with now Integrated Multi-Window and seeing countless phones and tablets with 2 ARM Quad-Core Processors and 3 GB of RAM, this has got my brain thinking... Isn't that enough Giddie Up for a full Desktop Computer!? I know me as a person an the only thing I'm not liking very much is the progress and lack of feature in the Linux World of Desktop Open Source. SO WHY NOT MAKE IT ANDROID!!!??? Just think. All we would have to do is develop a completely Desktop Custom ROM that runs Android 6 and 7!!! So with all of that said I NEED HELP! How would I go about learning the ins and outs of Creating Source Code? I already know how to build from source so now I need to create source.
