Hello,
I'm new here just half an hour or so,so excuse me if I'll ask something that is been posted before.I bought a new smartphone and I have the old one sitting on my desk Samsung Galaxy 3 so I wonder if is there a way to change from android to windows 7 or 8.If there is a way PLEASE guide me on how to do it.Thank you all.
Note that I'm taking my first steps on developing but however I'm not afraid to try.:silly:

First of all: Windows 7/8 are for desktop computers. Most probably you mean Windows Phone 7.
Second: I have zero experience with Windows Phone 7. Perhaps some user will know if it's possible to run it in a Samsung Galaxy.
Go to SGS3 forum & search there. If you don't find anything, ask there; they'll be most likely to know.

Good luck,
hello good afternoon everyone, thank you all for the beautiful work they do on this site, I apologize if I'm being a noob but I looked all over the net and still not found a concrete answer, I'm thinking about buying a samsung galaxy tablet 10.1V with android 3.0, and really needed to be able to install Windows XP or Windows 7, I wonder if there is any virtual machine for Android where I can install windows, it was very important for my work, if someone can help me would be great from already thank you very much and keep up the good work ...

Well at least you got the first part right...you are being a noob. Lol
Windows and android run on different architectures, so android on arm, and windows on Intel etc
So no, there is no way atm. Unless windows 8 (when it arrives) is truly compatible on arm architecture.

You may notice that I said Windows 7, not windows phone 7. That's perfectly correct. I have come to love Windows 7, and would love to have it on my phone as well. Is there a free, easy way to do this? How? I don't want some crappy theme. No stupid answers, please!
Hey, I know there is a Custom Rom that makes your Phone look like Windows Phone 7, but I have no idea if there is also one for Windows7..
I hardly know anything about Android, since I got an Windows Phone you might want to try it in the Android Q/A's where the Android "experts" will answer your Question..
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.

Dont even want Win8 on my pc, let alone on my phone.
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

Why would you want windows phone? Windows is good as a PC OS, but not as a phone OS.

I know, wanted to post here about it but couldn't find the post. Sorry for that!
Hello Everybody,
Disclaimer: I am an extreme noob when it comes to rooting and so forth, I performed one back in 2010 on an HTC HD2 that i used a kernel (i believe) for nexus on and turned it into an android.
Anyhow I just bought a gear s, and was able to download the gear manager on my phone the gold one (used blackmart to do so), however now I can not connect to the device because it needs to download samsung crap on it i think. I came up with two ideas which are as follow and I need assistance on recommendations.
1. root my g-flex and turn it into a note 4, I have no clue how to do this and don't know if it is possible (any help here would be greatly appreciated!).
2. get the galaxy app store on my lg flex and perhaps it will be able to download the updates for the gear s?
I am sorry that I am such a novice, but I do understand the basics to coding and everything, if i can get either of these options to work I will gladly post a video of the whole process and instructions on xda so that way others can benefit
