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?
Ubuntu touch maybe

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

Hey guys, i used to have a windows computer and used the kitchen obviously to make my rome and other programs but i was jw what there is for mac cuz the old programs won't work for me now and i don't really feel like starting up a VMachine
let me know guys please
If you are looking to make your own ROM, and are using a Mac, there is already a version of Android Kitchen that supports OSX. Unless you have like a PowerPC Mac or something retardedly old like that.
I tried using that but its being a mag and won't work, I guess ill just have to try again later

I don't know what to tell you. When I fire up my Mac VM it works perfectly. Do you have ADB installed, etc? Make sure the prerequisites are satiated.
what would be easier to develop roms on???
I think, there is no "optimized" system for developing. You can use what you want and develop in every system.
I think, that windows is a good choice, because you can use Cygwin or a virtual machine like VMWare or Virtualbox to use a linux system if necassary.

Officially, you should have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. That's the OS Google has made "official" for Android and Kernel development. The instructions *may* work on 12.04 LTS but it is unsupported as of now.
It is, however, a PITA to simply install Oracle's JDK on Ubuntu. It can be done, but now without some research and effort.
Unofficially, you should still use Linux, because all the toolchain is easier to get and install on Linux.
IMHO, choose a Linux distro you are confortable with and start from there.
i am using win 7 and its ok with me
Thank you all for your opinions and help

I think I would be more personal preference on the tools you want to use.
If you truly want to learn true from development then you should go with a Linux distro as that is the way to truly work with source code

Decent question here, Can you cook roms on a MAC?

I have 32gb wifi xoom running wingrey Team EOS nightly 4.1.1 JB i was wondering is there a way tomake the xoom a dual boot ( android / Linux ) i know i can install Linux nativly then go back to android via backup but a dual boot would be much easier something like the touchpad tri boot but only dual

What linux can be installed natively?
Open suse?
I do not know i am looking for info to see if it can be done or has already been done something similar to what was done to te hptouchpad
Sent from my Touchpad using XDA Premium HD app
Id say, if they can, we can too.
Bet developers can do but the question is if they want to?
It would be usefull to have both linux and android here on xoom
Yes it would with the ability to run linux natively you would think it could be done. It would be a matter of repartioning as well as boot.img . The whole native linux thing on the xoom is a pain use linux when done wipe and re flash a nandroid backup and then do it all over again. I guess i will have to mess around with my touchpads boot img and the xoom to see if i can get it work my touchpad runs linux,android and webos. Iwould haveto do some serious reprogramming on the files to make them work but I think it could be done

I'm no programmer but i wonder if it would be possible running something like Puppy Linux.
Puppy can boot from an SD card and run entirely in ram.It seems to me this would save a lot of work partitioning, etc. The developer is currently trying to adapt Puppy for ARM boards.
It's a great little distro I used for many years ( after BeOS got too old).
Hmmm interesting i will have to look into that tonight and see what I come up with

I'm not sure this is really the place to put my question, so apologies in advance.
Do Chromebooks run Windows applications? ie, Right now, I have a Mac right now, and can't run things like Odin. Can you on Chromebooks?
-Thanks

Chromebooks cannot run Windows applications as Chromebooks run Chrome OS which is based on linux. If you want to run Odin and other Windows applications you can use Virtualbox to run Windows on your Mac in a virtual machine and then run the applications you want. On a sidenote you can also use Heimdal on your Mac to perform the same functions as Odin.

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
