abuntu

can i ask is abuntu only work on linux? window 7 64bit can?

Its Ubuntu.. and it is Linux.. another type of operating system.. you can only 'run' it on win if u have it installed on like VM ware or similar..

you should research a tiny, just a tiny bit more before asking this kind of question... Until then, I don't think you should be touching this OS. The typo is killing me too. Like the above poster said, Ubuntu is linux. Windows 7 has nothing to do with it, however you can run linux on windows or mac using some applications such as virtualbox/vm ware/parallels, I have no idea how you came to your question. IIRC Ubuntu can be run on android but don't ask me how. I didn't bother

Android SDK & Windows 8

I'm trying to use my One X on Windows 8 but it won't let me install the Android SDK. It says I need the Java SDK or whatever installed first and I did that but it still comes up with the same error when I try to install the Android SDK.
Anyone using Windows 8 and got it working?

I looked in c:\Windows\system32 and it's there. Java.exe.
It says if you believe you have it installed and it was not properly recognized, then simply set an environment variable JAVA_HOME to point to it.
I don't know what that means or how to do it.

This my help.

Thanks. I got it working. I don't remember tho what to install from the SDK Manager. It's been a while since I installed it on Windows 7 but I think I remember that I had to choose some different things to install.

What are you trying to do? If you just want adb, then not much, if you want to dev, then a little bit more. Lol

I just wanna use adb for now. So should just the recommended setting settings be enough? I see it recommends Android 4.1 stuff but now 4.0.3. I checked off 4.0.3 just to be safe.

That's all I do, and it works fine. Doesn't take for just adb, I don't even think my current computer has it installed, I just have it from an old one click Root ibused a long time ago.

So you fixed your problem?

I think I had gone back to Windows 7 before I figured out what was causing the problem. I figured I'd wait until Windows 8 was official before messing around with getting it to work.

I just installed the official Windows 8 build and am in the process of getting the sdk installed and adb working.
I LOVE Windows 8 btw. The official build is so much nicer than the release preview I had on a couple weeks ago.

Xoom another OS

HI. I want to know if there is any way to change the OS of the Xoom. I want to install Linux or Windows 8 (I prefer Linux) but I want to run as primary and only OS on Xoom. No virtual machine, no remote desktop. Just to install it on harddrive. Is anything like that?

Not even Ubuntu? Ubuntu runs everywhere! His kernel can recognize even microwave! I like very much the idea of Ubuntu on my tablet instead Android

Not going to happen. You can partially run Ubuntu Touch. But it's far from completely working.

Hm... If we can't run ubuntu, what we can? why android works and ubuntu not, having the same kernel? Do I understand right, that drivers are in kernel and kernel have "public" api?
i have xoom in disposal. i want to use xoom as dev platform on linux. i want to have access to wifi, bluetooth, camera, sensors built in, etc. is it possible, or can you suggest some other kind of such platform? i don't really need 3d acceleration for example. or will it be much simpler to develop on ndk for android?

you can run linux through chroot.
(with the right kernel)

md5?
I've downloaded this backup. I've checked md5 properly, and it was the same, but I couldn't restore it due to mismatching at md5. any solution for me? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811747

Thought on how to run windows .exe on android

OK I don't no how to do this and is sounds VERY sketchy but my first thought was that android is Linux so just use wine but I have no clue on how to do that, u would probably have to bypass the java VM and run from Linux. Or u could run Linux in android with Linux deploy and then install in that then install the exe. But with all that is running it might get slow.

I dont think it is possible... Android wont support .Exe files

It only would be possible if you find a way how to run WINDOWS OS on your device

I heard that its possible to run outdated window version on Android like windows 98 etc.
So try to find on google if it works
You will be able to run small dos programs i think

What about using Linux deploy and running wine inside of that
