Is it possible install windows 8 on P6210 plus? - Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus

Hello Guys found some threads talking about install windows 8 on my tablet, would like to know if is this really possible, and how about dual boot with android and windows 8? i would like to see some tutorial for it! if someone could help me ill be glad, thanks.

It's not possible as windows 8 its closed source and you need in first place a Kernel able to handle the hardware from windows and that dear won't happen ever..
So you would see windows xxx development as much as you see ios development.. So let's do the maths. Erm its so hard... (1 hour later) oh yeah the answer its 0

But what about that tablets that comes with windows 8 arm? must be a port for tablets....i really need to run some operational system different, like ubuntu native or windows native...

Buy a windows 8 tab then.. Some android devices has Linux ports partially working but I don't see the point on doing that...
As I said can't be ported unless there's some tab with the exact same hardware wich I highly doubt will happen... Having the same processor mean nothing it needs several other things..
Put it in this way.. Get 2 computers with same processor core i7 with a different motherboard/hard drive /video card/network cards/modems then create an image from 1 of the 2 pcs and try to use that image in the other pc... It won't boot at all even if they have the same processor...

Hum now i understand what are you talking about, thanks for helping me...have a nice day sir

I think Lenovo has announced a tablet that will dual boot android and Windows 8, but unless someone reverse engineers all our drivers, it will never happen on our tabs

Doubt windows 8. Windows RT... maybe...
Someone would need to port ROM from existing samsung win RT tablets...
Not even sure if its possible. Hopefully others who know more can tell on feasibility.

I do not thing you will be able to install Windows 8 though RT version is made for ARM processors so should be possible may be some day some expert will manage as for you to install it you need the drivers to the hardware inside
Where this is clearly possible I think you will find the windows RT software licence will not allow any kind of porting to other devices, as such DEV would quite rightly not be permitted on XDA.
Windows rt was ported to htc hd2 a 3 years old device, so it should be possible

i cant see this going anywhere due to licencing issues, the project will certainly have very limited exposure on here for good reasons. I'd certaintly install it though if it did come to pass.
Should definitely be possible, just a matter of time..
It should be possible, but the question is why would I do that Windows 8 has not got great reviews
There is great hope for an Ubuntu 12.10 port (native) witch is far greater then win 8 rt !:thumbup: (win 8 (not rt) it is impossible to port do to different cpu architecture)

Sorry if I rain on your parade and I go upstream.........
Which is the point of replacing Android, which is THE BEST when it comes to touchscreen tablets, with the crappiest operating system called "Windows 8"?????''
You should know Microsoft is definitely going to the dogs with this new OS - they swore to us this W would be a revolution and it's a Vista replication instead - increasingly slow and complicated. I bought W8 in November and I've had it updated once a day for two months - minor o major bugs, I don't know but certainly it drives me up the wall, the more updated, the slower.
I thought it wouldn't be as brilliant as Microsoft reckoned, but I wonder how an OS could have a minimum number of downsides in order to be considered just an "improvement".... ****!
So I've got to get a N8000 to fix my mobility issues - the app collection really sorted out everthing to me - and now I should think about a W8-working N8000......... sorry......... what the ****'s that???
I agree

Asus releasing a tegra 3 quad core tablet that runs full Windows 8 when docked and gives user choice of Win8 or Android 4.1 when detached as a tablet. So there is compatibility.

Windows 8 RT?

Hi,
do you think it will be possible to install windows 8 RT (windows 8 arm processors version) like new Samsung Ativ?
Is there some dev interested to do this?
No... You're asking to install ios on android or vice versa... No drivers and different file structures, not to mention hardware difference, don't allow us to run win8 on an android device. This question has been asked since the galaxy tab7" gen 1 (and win 7) came out. I haven't seen it on that yet and that device is quite a few years old now...
Why would you want to? I see no true advantage by doing this.

[Q] Why Windows Os can run on allmost all Pcs and why Android roms can not?

Noob question, i dont understand why Windows os can run on allmost all computers and why Android roms does not ?
Because windows is a computer OS and Android is a mobile Os

I mean why Android roms for example Cynaogenmode 9 for Samsung cant go also on HTC if im not wrong, but windows can run on all computer.. i just dont understand why ??, I'm just started new flashing roms ecc. I was used to the pc that was so simple.

I dinnt understand well, butt why they cant do this also on smarphones, for example on the computer you got the Bios and if somthing goes wrong with your OS you can always go to the bios ecc. But why they dont do the same on phones ?
Windows : An OS : Runs on PCs
Android : Also an OS : Runs on smart phones
Some basic common sense..
So this question is pointless

Im started new flashing roms ecc. i still dont have much experience, first i thought that the Clockworkmode ecc was a smartphone Bios but then on the internet i read about many people briking phones by flashing wrong roms ecc. when i firs was thinking that you could always recover from Cwm like on the computer Bios but it was'n like this. So i was thinking, why ? there isnt something like a bios on the android phones ? so you can always recover if something goes wrong ?
actually this is an excellent question......whats so hard abt having a mothwrboard that boots up in bios....nad then it allows u to install whatever system u want. after that u get to download drivers for ur hardware from some system driver pool....basically most phones have the closely the same hardware in our days especially when u can make use of sd cards as an external source like dvds nd cds.....the question is why r smartphones os's built in a different way and what stops them from being composed this way? isnt it more logical?

Cwm=1/2bios. Windows is open for all part combination with drivers. But android or other mobile os are cant support different drivers. Companies select os and other parts and develop correct drivers for parts and os. Mobile devices have special drivers. But pcs are have open for all drivers.
This text hard for me because i m turk.
This is a fantastic question! Essentially what has happened over the years is chip makers have designed their hardware around the windows os, and they have been able to do so because the windows os is a boxed software that, for the most part, cannot be changed. The Android os on the other hand is open sourced and can be tweaked 10 ways to Sunday, which is why most of us prefer it over ios or win mobile. The downside (kind of) is that the phones and tablets are specifically designed around the os and the os around the device. So in order to upgrade the os either the manufacturer (Samsung, Motorola etc) has to develop one or one of the brilliant coders out there has to work on developing one from the source code when it is released by Google. Hope this helps.

Great question, Many answers definitely.
Android OS are built around the phones, around specific devices.
For example:
GS3 and Note 2 are built on somewhat the same,
so odds are specific roms are ported to GS3 ( Serenity 1.2)
but GS3 and HTC One X are two totally different companies with two different builds of components so you'd not have a port from a Note 2 to One X.
It's logic once you look into the components of a phone and how they're built VS how computers are built and such.
GPU, CPU, Storage, etc on a PC are all parted,where-as on a phone they're soldiered onto one main board.

Now i understand, thanks i was thinking it would be possible to build phones with a Bios and basic drivers preinstalled in the motherboard, just to run android, and then from there find the driver updates ecc for its own device. That would be much easier for all of us to flash roms, kernels ecc without the risk of briking divices, and also now a days the smartphones are almost like real computers ecc. I think if you got an HTC + 1.7 Ghz x 4 you wouldn't like stop receiving updates for your stock or custom rom because its still a good piece of hardware, and also even if i would got to pay 20 $ for an Android upgrade i wouldn't mind, i think an something thing like a bios in a phone will give a piece of mind for everyone, and it would be much easier.

But for example if HTC,Samsung and all manufacturers . install on there mother board a bios + basic drivers for input output ecc. and to separate Android from it. So you could then have a one Android for all. And devs could focus mainly to the functionality and less to the compatibility. It would be fantastic :thumbup:

As simple answer: Most android devices use a lot of closed source/specification hardware.
Plus locked/partially locked bootloader
In windows (and linux too) kernel there is a lot of closed blobs which work fine on pc because they were precompiled under x86 arch, but there's no use for them on our arm devices.
If we had open specifications and hardware device, we wouldn't have any trouble getting OS in there(that's what china manufacturer do)
As usual - the only issue is copyright.

Android and windows have more in common then anyone is letting on.
Wi ndows is closed source some other android is closed. Some of is is open.
Even though most of yours computers have windows dosnt mean that you can take the hard drive from one computer and expect for the Oscar to boot while in another computer. They all have drivers that are gding to be different.
Computers have biOs because of many different reasons. Computers are versatile smartphones are a relatively specialsized piece of equipment.
The question you ask has an answer but I think the same question can be asked aboout the differences between a couch and a chair. Someone just thought of a way to do somthing and it became the standard. Again computers freeway more advanced then smartphones. How many boot devices can you have on a smart phone? MAybe 2. Computers can have many hdds, many optical, many usb devices, many network boots...etc etc

No it doesn't matter. It is alot of closed source stuff in windows. Not to mention MS would C&D anyone that may even try. Even the new windows 8 32 bit pc systems have a locked bootloader so you can't change the OS

Im a little confused because i dont have any experience in how software and hardware runs together even i would like to learn it , all i know is that i cant put an AMD CPU on a Intel compatible motherboard, but an AMD and intel computers can run both on windows, Ubuntu, ecc. So now i understand that almost all Smartphones have diffrent hardware, but they can not all run on a one Android version, but Android needs to be customized to the hardware. Am i wright ? Do you think if manufactures produce there hardware to fit in a one Android version, and devs focus in a one Android version, and also roms could be compatible for all devices, if im not wrong. Because what i sow now is that many devs work more on compatibility, and if it was the other way they could realy focus on the functionality of Roms ecc. I'm still new in this world and i have a lot of things to learn, so im asking you guys, because you know more than me, so i could learn somthing from you.
Biggest problem of mobile devices is lack of good boot "catcher", as in BIOS, whom would allow custom kernel load.
Despite being binary compable(not always), the way android is being started differs.
The best we are getting is unlocked BL, but never open one.
Also, you have mentioned china devices.
On some chinese smartphones fully open bootloader is present, that's why it is possible to launch ubuntu and even windows(on atom tablets).

Win7 vs. Win8 is like trying to compare a Volkswagen to a Yugo
^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can run the same programs as you can on windows 7. (i'm running the release preview, and i can run everything, even games.)
windows 8 is windows 7 but with more features.
How does it work when flashing roms on galaxy s3, galaxy nexus, nexus 4...also running toolkits, and Odin....i flash alot of roms, root amd repair software issues on samsungs using Odin...will this be an issue on win8....windows was flawless for everything....just don't want to get windows and then have issues with drivers and etc...
Sent from my RM-820_nam_att_100 using Board Express
I cant tell you how it would be for flashing etc.
but i can tell you that windows 8 is a blast ( the positive way )
- As soon as you get to know it you really love it, there is a couple of things that annoys me about it, but there is also things in windows 7 and linux mint i dislike, it cant be perfect..
if you ask me, go for it.. and if you get sick of windows 8 look alike style you can " disable " it with a program called " start 8 "
OR you can do as i do, combine the two.. im running the windows 7 look, but i still have the metro apps, that i can run if i like to do that ..
So from the usage point, yes.. windows 8 is waaay better and so much smoother, faster and allaround just better..
People who dislike it has used it for 10 minutes, have read alot of hate on it and joined the crowd..
Hope it helped
Thanks so much for your feedback....good stuff

Windows 8 is very clean and quick..
I have an alienware laptop.. and its very snappy..
Windows 8
I have been using windows 8 since last 2 months. I feel that user interface is clean. But there are some issues which i defiantly taken care of in for there updates . If your are a naive user than you might find windows 8 very irritating. BTW there is lot to explore in Win 8 ! :fingers-crossed:
Another thing to consider is that if you get a windows 8 machine and later decide you don't like it you are legally entitled to downgrade to windows 7. Check out the link on Microsoft's site: http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/downgrade_rights.aspx
Not sure how easy this will be to do, but it's something to consider.
have you thought about having two operating systems?i think you should consider this option.win 8 is faster than 7.but you may find problems with drivers.good luck.
windows is far more better than windows 7 provided u have sufficient RAM coz win 8 just sucks up the RAM as far as i know
Most of the apps are not working for windows 8 but it is faster compared to windows 7. if u want to run the apps which are useful for android. some might not be into market which runs on windows 8.
From my own experience windows 8 boots very very fast (tested with normal HDD) Thats a great advantage! Tho I really dislike the metro interface, thats why I went back to windows 7.
Every second Windows system was the best in my opinion..
like first Windows xp then windows 7..
the others in between was bad..
So its just my opinion but i guess windows 8 is just good for tablets..
Windows 7 is perfect so far.. It aint too complicated.

What are the limitations/obstacles from installing windows PHONE 8.1 OS on my note 3

Hey everyone. I was thinking about this today.
I personally see the mobile phone/ tablet market going the PC route. you can install any operating system providing its compatable with the CPU and the hardware can run it.
That got me thinking. lets say for a minute Microsoft sold a copy of Windows phone O/S and you flashed it via Odin or some other way.
What would be the limiting factors? is it possible?
Its not only about the CPU, What about everything? you will break many stuff.
it would be a good idea to have windows 8.1 in note 3 if the windows phone os gets updated !
It would be a much better idea to buy a Lumia if you want WP 8.1......
1. Lol
2. Not gonna happen. Ever
3. You can't just install an OS like you would on a PC. Windows is windows, closed source, no device binaries for the hardware.

Android is so much better, than all the others. So NO i'll fight this idea, with all my power (but that ain't much). :silly:
If it were a linux distro you were talkin about i'd say yes...
I think by the way samsung drive there TouchWiz android we will be like windows even Google courage people to root and miss with it's s branded phone's and nexus branch getting Ubuntu phone and maybe Firefox os I think In the future we will buy just the hardware and load whatever os you wish like DOS shipped laptop's
And regarding hardware I think even the Nokia lumia don't have hardware like our SGN3 so why not
In the end we will get all open source to drive the tech
