[Q] Dual Boot With Windows - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Had a quick thought and there's a couple of threads on a few forums about it but none of them have been active since this time last year.
Does anyone think a Xoom could dual boot between Android 4.0.4 and windows 7 or 8?

no

Only if NVidia produces win8 drivers for the Tegra2, which is never going to happen.

[Resolved] Dual Core Phone

I currently have a samsung epic 4g that I bought on the release day. Sprint has agreed to let me out of my contract because when I purchased the phone multiple representatives promised me that froyo was a month away, two months at the most. I was hoping to switch to a new dual core phone and was wondering if there were and credible rumors as to what and when the first would be released. Has anyone heard anything? I tried googling but didn't see anything that seemed credible.

Also, any guesses as to which of the announced dual core phone will get support from cyanogenmod? Is on processor architecture more likely than another?

Minor Help
I read somewhere that it is possible. But getting a boot loader installed might be device-specific.
Try looking up Android x86
Hope this leads you to the right direction
Thank you for the input I am really new to this but why x86 the tablet us going to be running windows 7 x64

Wp7 on android pre-installed phone

I was wondering if I could flash a wp7 rom (lastest build) to my android phone (Motorola triumph 2.3.7 gb) ? Is that even possible?
Sent from my Motorola Triumph using xda premium
It's possible in theory since the Triumph uses Snapdragon processor.
Unfortunately, no one has publicly been able to port Windows Phone OS to Android devices.
Wp7 isn't open source, so it won't happen...
Other than hd2, no phone has windows phone ported

it would be frowned upon by microsoft for licensing... but who cares about EULA's ? i don't.
i'd imagine the small, incremental changes in chipsets would be problematic for the drivers to handle... given how driver updates have gone in windows in the past, and there is no driver update service on wp.

in xda some friends ported succesfully wp7 on toshiba tg01
and even there are some troubles like camera and signal otherwise it work
therefore maybe one day...
Technically HTC evo should be able to have a port but i don't think there is enough demand for it

Sad but true
I really hope it will NEVER happen because we paid a lot of money to have Microsoft OS. I could buy a Galaxy S phone than install Windows Phone on it instead of buying an Omnia 7 paying 70/80 euros more...

Should I? Should I not? Should I?

Hi,
HTC have released some awesome phones like the One X and my god it is fantastic, but the question is, shall I sell my Galaxy Nexus for the HTC?
The good points from the nexus are that I would be that I would be supporting to the next Android with no worry.
But the HTC would be more than capable for running the next Android version as its hardware is far better. Also I like the 1.5GHz Quad Core processor with nvidia tegra. But the updates that I would get will be later than the Nexus and also HTC are a pain to root with the boot loader and EXT partitions
What should I do?
Thanks Guys

You should get the HTC. The specs whoop the Nexus's ass!

The question isn't whether it's capable, but when the manufacturer releases the update. Currently, none of them have yet released a Gingerbread -> ICS update, and it's already been 5 months.

for me its all about the hardware... since software can always be modified... the one x holds more potential hardware wise...
Do ittt!!!
I would wait for people to test it first...I am a bit worried with the battery stamina from One X

With the Nexus, you do not have to wait to constructor update, you will always get the last Android's version.
But HTC phones are more powerfull and XDA community will let you have the new Android OS
Cheers people. Ill get the HTC

Which tablet should I get for my birthday?

My birthday is coming up soon and I have decided I want a tablet. I was thinking about an iPad but I want a tablet that can replace my laptop so it would need Flash player support.
Now I have read in numerous places that Jelly Bean will not support flash. I also noticed that flash player works in Chrome (for android) now and it didn't used to. So would flash sites (such as streaming sites) work on Jelly Bean because of Chrome?
And finally, I don't want to spend a tonne because it is my 16th and I will be getting driving lessons so I am stuck between the Asus transformer 300 and the Nexus 7. I have been drawn more towards the transformer because of the keyboard dock (understandable since it is a laptop replacement... Right?) but I also wouldn't mind the Nexus 7 since you are always guaranteed the latest and greatest updates since it is Google's tablet.
So, suggestions?

I'm not bothered about a camera on a tablet, in fact, I probably won't even be using the camera on the back (if I get the Transformer).
It's more about which one would be a better replacement for a laptop.
Streamung, browsing, emailing, watching movies.
I'm thinking the Transformer because of the keyboard as I mentioned above.

Do your own research. Use Google. Other peoples 'good' tablet may be different to yours.
And, finally, do not bump your thread on XDA. If it is interesting it will get replies, otherwise it will die the death it deserves.

in my opinion, the Acer Iconia Tab A500 32GB Dual-core Cortex-A9 10.1 inch Android 3.0 Tablet PC + WiFi can meet your demand.
you can search this item on google to review the specfication. As i know, this tab is android honeycomb 3.0, 32gb storage,support bluetooth,wifi,camera and 3g !
The 3G is the only tempting part (and the specs) but I can't go back to Honeycomb. It's uglyyyyy!
