Is it possible to Port Win7/8 RT on our Folio?
Maybe before this we need a over clocked kernel!!!
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app
Almost the only thing I know about Win8 RT is it is closed source. So I suppose a port is not possible. It also eats insane amounts of storage. I read some time ago that in 32 GB Surface tablets, 16 GB were for the OS...

High-end computers are going to be required to compile the ICS source code! This is crazy, and I'm sure it will halt development for quite a bit.

This can't be true.....

I'm hoping it isn't.

am afraid so....check out the OFFICIAL information

"-6GB of download.
-25GB disk space to do a single build.
-80GB disk space to build all AOSP configs at the same time.
-16GB RAM recommended, more preferred, anything less will measurably
benefit from using an SSD.
-5+ hours of CPU time for a single build, 25+ minutes of wall time, as
measured on my workstation (dual-E5620 i.e. 2x quad-core 2.4GHz HT,
with 24GB of RAM, no SSD), "
That isn't bad at all. RAM is cheap and anybody with a socket 1155/1156/1366 could add 16GB total and meet the specs quite comfortably. An SSD will help, but then it always does!

Problem is it will stop a lot of younger devs as they can't afford a high end PC.
Mine is
4gb DDR3 ram
2.6quad core
2tb storage
Does everything I need uber fast but isn't good enough to compile ics how odd.

Actually every pc is enough to compile ICS(if storage is enough), it'll only take a lot longer to compile ICS on 4GB ram.
It's a pity, but it might be required to do lots of optimalizations or something.
Just advising that once I build my new desktop I will start creating apps and ROMs.
The computer I am going to build will have:
2 1TB SATA hard drives
16GB RAM
I7 processor
High end video card (still researching)
4 Monitors
I will dual boot Linux and Windows 7
I am going all out as this will be my first computer I will build from the ground up and I want it to last.
Any input ( i.e comp specs and android dev material) greatly appreciated.

ssd ... makes everything faster, especially if you're compiling from a 10gb android git repo
Cool. Thanks

So I saw a ROM that makes your phone run on Ubuntu. What exactly is Ubuntu?

Ubuntu is another kind of operating sistem, buty it's stiull being tested and is suposed to reun smooth on devices that have at least 1gb of ram, the good side of it is that it uses the same code as android so android developers will probaply be able to make the apps available for ubuntu aswell, the downside of it is that if it uses the same android code it will be compatible only for phones that run originaly on android, as a android alternatove and no other OS is supported (when Google estimated that a open source system will speed up phone tech I guess they knew what they wore sayng)
Anyone try to get Win8RT on the slow ARM11 and 288MB RAM? Just have this TP2 sitting around thinking it would have been a nice physical package for Win8.
Trust me RT is very slow on a Surface RT, the OS is not compatible with the older architecture. Also rt is already giving hackers some trouble.

I am currently using win8 on my rt and I am pleased with battery life and performance but I am still on the fence in updating it ... I want people to share their experience fon 8.1 since i have been readind that the battery drains heavily while on stand by. If someone could share their experience with new os as well as let me know if there has been any additional updates in finxing the battery drain

Do you use the jailbreak? 8.1 breaks it. An 8.1 jailbreak is on the way but not quite here yet so if you updated to 8.1 you would lose the ability to run 3rd party desktop applications
rt 8.1 upgrade

Its worth it for me, Hive outlook on my RT tablet now.. more space.
Windows 8.1 is worth it. The user experience is much more intuitive.
