Hi guys !
First of all i want to say i'm totally new on android thingies
I got iPhone since it's release date and i never changed to another OS...now i'n thinking to buy a tablet and i don't want to buy an iPad but a more open source OS...
My first idea was to buy a windows tablet but i saw on internet that you can instal windows 7/8 on any android tablet...is that true or just fake b*******s ?
Also is it possible to intall linux like ubuntu on these android tablets ?
Multiboot maybe ?
Thanks in advance !

i think theres a HP tablet that officially lets you dual boot android or windows 8 on it, if you want linux and ubuntu instead i would get a nexus 7, im not sure if the 2013 model has any linux or ubuntu roms but you can check, the 2012 model is PERFECT enough anyway and i know they have unbuntu and maybe linux roms, you could find one for cheap on swappa.

i dont think the tab z2 has an Ubuntu rom yet, i see that the first one might have one though, the z2 has quiet better specs but since you want to multiboot i would still recommend the nexus 7 its not compatibility issues ( some might) so you could build unbtunu touch for the xperia tab z2 if you wanted.

Hello guys,
I was just wondering if i could get android on my Samsung I8910HD phone which runs Symbian S60.I know that 99% that this aint possible but can i use symbian ROM flashing tool(it is nearly similar to odin) to flash android stock ROM while my phone is in recovery mode??? I've heard about nitdroid project in which they install android in Nokia N8 and some more phones. Note - Im just a 14 yr old noob indian(So pls forgive me if u think that this is a silly question. )
not yet invented......!!!!
I would love to see this too......

No silly questions
I don't think is a silly question and apparently it can be done. How hard have you searched? I don't own a Symbian, but I just did a quick search on the Net and a lot of hits came up...
Lots of YouTube videos. Do you want to change the OS or just install android apps? (That can also be done and it is easier).
Cheers,
No progress!!1
I've tried very hard in doing this(I've never actually tried on the phone cause it is not my phone it is my moms(I own a samsung galaxy y which is rooted and Running stock rom and CWM Recovery) and im afraid that i may Hard Brick her phone).And CyanChip I want to change the whole osand i dont want the apps only(I've heard about AlienDalvik). So any hints on how u can do this

OOps Srry CyanChip. AlienDalvik supports only iOS for now. It would be good if u could tell me how to install just the apps. Hoping that a DEV will make this possible.

First of all nitdroid project is for Maemo OS, Meego OS based or Nokia's old tablet OS based phones it was Nokia N9 not the N8 where they installed android, and the models which they (nitdroid) refer as N8xx are the Nokia N800 and Nokia N810.3
Second andoid can't be flashed on symbian OS devices.

Afaik, the only way to run it is through a vm on the tab... and the only one that has an arm build I think is natty narwhal, can't remember which number that was

How to change window manager?
Does someone knows how to change window manager on the command prompt? unity is bugged and i cant see it on the properly way..
Is it possible to dual boot a full linux distro on note pro 12.2? And if it is possible, how do you do that if i may ask?
Because sometimes I just want a full desktop experience (i bought this instead of the surface pro 2, and I sure regret it).
Kind regards,
G

No, it's not possible. But you can have a linux distro in android through linuxdeploy for example. but you need root and custom kernel.

Thanks for the answer brother!
I already have that thanks to your kernel and your thread!
But it's not the same as the normal Ubuntu, not as smooth, I don't even have a working browser to browse the net, do you know why? (is totally empty even though I installed the full and biggest size)
Thanks!
honestly I dont know, I dont use linux on tab
What about LinuxOnAndroid? Tried it yet?
I don't know if it works. Your tab needs root, but I'm curious if it needs a different kernel.

Well, if you read what it says on your link, you need kernel that supports loop devices.
I bet your stock kernel doesn't.
Hi all,

Thanks in advance

Probably not, but you could try using a porting tool if you really want it.
Yes , you should be able to do it.
I was successful to dual boot windows 10 and Remix on Acer One S1002 2 in 1 tablet/laptop .
But for some reason the touch and keyboard is not working for me in REMIX , trying to find fix for it asap.
In short only mouse worked
Not sure if remix needs any drivers or update so that keyboard and touch would work .

I think that your situation is different because Acer s1002 has a x86 architecture, while Tegra has Arm (correct me if i'm wrong).
But i'm still hoping that someone realize a porting of Remix OS for this awesome tablet.

Take a look here https://forum.jide.com/index.php?p=...5-nexus-6-or-even-a-remix-ultra-phone-perhaps. Maybe a dev could help you guys out. My tablet was bricked some time ago however, but I may fix it one day who knows.
Any news?
No one that thinks a port of Ultratablet Remix OS (based on terga 4) o sometihing similiar?
I was doing some research and i was wondering how to install Android on a pc/laptop with root. Any suggestions would be great
Do you want to run Android as main OS or running as emulator?
You can install that via. Nox Player
I havent really decided yet but leaning more towards as a primary OS

If you're planning on installing an android is on windows, a good one to check out is Remix OS. I personally haven't used it before but its apparently the only fully functional Android OS for pcs.
Might be worth giving it a look!
Ill probably run it as a secondary at first to get an idea of hardware/software compatibility first
