Hello guys can I make my Surface PRO dual boot between Android X86 and Windows 8?
If yes how do I do that?
Android on Surface pro
I've recently started using BlueStacks. It installs an emulator and will run some Android apps, but it is buggy. The only app I use through it regularly is SimpleMind and it works perfectly.
I second the BlueStacks suggestion, or yoh can run VirtualBox and load up Android x86 as a virtual machine. However, if two Bluestacks will run much faster.

I've not seen Bluestacks as faster than a VM like Genymotion. However, being a recent Nexus 10 convert to the SP2, I do like Bluestacks better.
While Bluestacks is a bit slower, it's not that noticeable, plus Genymotion doesn't support the gyroscope/accelerometer like Bluestacks does.
Also, if you want ARM support on Genymotion, look up libhoudini.

Viewsonic has just come out with a tablet, that like the Xoom, uses the Tegra2 processor. This tablet has the option of booting into Windows 7 (they allege Pro or Standard) but as far as I know, these operating systems are still not compatible with the ARM processor in these tablets. It looks like it might be Windows Embedded Compact 7 (formerly known as Windows CE).
Anyone have any information about this, and thoughts about how to get Windows running on our xooms? I have been playing with Ubuntu, but would like to have a native "real" OS on my xoom so I can use it as a tablet PC. How are they accomplishing it on the Viewsonic? How can we replicate this, since the tablets are so similar?
Hi,
I came across a video of running ubuntu on the tegra 2 powered AC100 a while back and today I was just thinking if it would be possible to run pc games such as mass effect 2 on the AC100 / other tegra 2 devices using the wine or crossover games applications.
I just had the idea today where you can use something like a lg g2x (or future tegra 3 devices) as a complete all in one device where you dual boot android and ubuntu and maybe even play pc games.
I know it's super crazy but I was wondering about it and got curious enough to ask a question on here. So apologies if it's dumb question.
The only possibility would be if Windows 8 will work on ARM and game publishers would then release games compiled for that. Then an ARM version of wine could be capable of running those. But right now all released Windows binaries are x86 or x86-64, it's impossible to run those on an ARM processor, except in an emulator. Which wine is not.
What about the following youtube users?
youtube.com/user/paranpi7#p/u
youtube.com/user/DamionYates2
They seem to be running windows (x86) programs on ARM devices (n900 runs on an old OMAP and AC100 on tegra 2)
The second video mentions qemu, which is an emulator. The first video mentions winegcc and compiling source. So it's not an x86 binary, but Windows code compiled into an ARM binary. It seems winegcc makes this possible. But that won't help you for apps where you don't have the source code.
Has anyone ever been able to run the intel's image they use for the Android emulator on Vmware or Virtualbox? The x86 acceleration makes the emulator a lot faster, but for sophisticated networking the emulator pales in comparison to vmware or vbox.
I tried downloading the image and making an iso out of it, but it wouldn't boot. I'm wondering if there might be some specific settings in the Android Emulator provided by Google to allow it to boot and then run the system image.
And yes, I've heard of android-x86 project. Their android 4.2.2 iso is extremely buggy. The 4.0 one is nice but I need 4.2.2
Any help would be extremely helpful!
Hi guys,
I was looking for a good emulator for My Win 10 laptop. I have tried blue stacks. But it was very lagy. Any one know any other emulators. Need some suggestions.
Thank you
Hi, one of the emulators I know is Andy, but the best is to use Android x86 on Virtualbox, you can consider emulator, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4Bw2jeYwZg here is a tutorial.
Hi guys if any one knows how to run huawei themes or huawei music apps on emulators like memu ldplayer or bluestacks because i don't know why it crushes
does anyone have any idea?
Both mentioned emulators are x86 / x86_64 CPU based - made to run on top of Windows OS, whereas Huawei devices are based on ARM CPU, what is default CPU type of Android devices.
