Dual boot Nexus 5 Android / Windows 8.x - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Not sure of this is the right spot to ask this question. OK so here is the deal. My employer wants us to support Windows Phone 8.x. Well kind of difficult when you don't own one. Instead of them buying one for us, instead we have to rely on a stupid desktop emulator from Microsoft. Since MS has finally laxed the rules on what hardware it can be installed on, I was wondering if a Dev would be interested in making one that dual boots on my Nexus 5.

Even on the tabs with keyboard (eg : Transformer Prime) it wasn't possible to make windows 8 runnable.
There's no acces to the sources, so no chances to have the good drivers, etc. So, no, impossible :/

Understandable. Just looked a bit hopeful when there was talk of companies "thinking" about selling dual booting devices.
Thanks all for your input {THREAD CLOSED}

He was a RC sometime back.. Not sure why he isn't anymore.
Not everybody cares about the member class .. You can help and contribute to xda with or without being a RC..

2 reasons why you won't see a windows ROM, and definitely not on xda....
1. If it were possible, I'm sure it would have be done already.
2. It would be pirated obviously.... Aka warez. A no no on XDA.

Ohh Myy.. I must say that's a well constructed reply! I totally agree with you on almost all the points which you've mentioned except a few. But those are your personal opinions about RC tag and I'm nobody to challenge that. You are awesome!

I agree with you 100%.I've been here since nearly the beginning. This is another account of mine.Unfortunately you and I both know that unless your "thanks" counter is extremely high or you have some title above senior people don't take you serious or even Have some "Team"allegiance. You might not agree with me for what ever reason but that is how most think.
Thank you for your reply.
I believe the OP's question was answered pretty well.Good job everyone.

I agree with the point you have made as well. My posts have been ignored many times in the past in the HTC One X forums and when a RC said the same thing, people followed him. Can't blame them though, it's human nature. Nothing can be done about it!
Seriously, this is my last OT post now! Hehe

Not to really to stay Off Topic here... But @rootSU keep up the great work! :good: I personally appreciate your contributions and you still continue to be a staple in the xda community and have done a lot to benefit many of the fellow members and device forums. I've learned quite a bit from many of your stickies and general post and for that I Thank you!!
As you said... "You need to do what's best for you and by all means be yourself".
Edit:
To the topic at hand... I personally don't think that there will be any new development in porting or dual booting WP8 onto android, as WP8 is closed source. I think the best bet if you want android and windows to dual boot on a device it to look into the all mighty HTC HD2. Which lately you can find on swapa, eBay, Craig's list and etc... For an actually pretty darn recent price these days. I've seen a couple going from around $80 - $120 and they are in decent shape. I have actually consider getting another one just to tinker around with again.. It is a cool and fun device.

Nvidia released source code and drivers

No, it's not O2X either, so knock off the attitude.
That is the development page for the reference Tegra 250 kit, and it's been around for a long time.
The O2X/G2X use the Tegra 250 AP20H. Nvidia has already stated that it's up to LG to release code specific to our phones.
I was saying you should search because that link has been posted tons of times.

It includes this:
"Tegra Android Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) OS Image for Ventana"
The Tegra 2 "Ventana" development kit is targeted at developers creating software for Android 2.2 "Froyo" and above.
Hence, the "Tegra" it is talking about is Tegra 2

I agree. I mean realistically I'm sure the devs will be the first to know when source or drivers get released, but but don't squash a guy for being enthusiastic and trying to be helpful.
First, I would like to apologize for lowering to a level I have tried to remove from these forums. I have been in this game quite awhile and I've learned one thing for sure, being polite and helpful get the best results. I come originally from the lowly Huawei ascend and I'll tell you, that phone has a great community and still sees support and it hit eol more than 6 months ago. We as a group decided our own fate when WE pushed our devs to lock our ICS thread. This is our device and our forums and we are responsible for building a sense of community. As it is now, I cringe to check my own threads because I know they will be bloodgened with haters and "you're wrong, I'm right ". We should all try to encourage one another and promote how awesome our device is, which brings me to this... Why use these forums to bash the g2x? All the complaining and whining is why t-Mobile bailed out. I am a collision tech for highline vehicles, do you have any idea how much service a Ferrari requires to keep it running? I seriously doubt Enzo Ferrari endured customers calling to tell him what a pos his cars are(I know he's dead) Lastly, I happen to be a successful writer for another website, I happen to be a weath of knowledge with a lot of connections. I have been been working my butt off to help a certain group of devs get a certain app working on our device, all I'll say is those of us that are flashing addicts will appreciate this app. I get things done through kindness and support. I would love to see that sense of community here, lets face it, we ALL use these forums. Thank you so much all devs that have stuck it out with us, our device would be worthless without you, sincerely, artifintel.

Very well said. Although I don't think the "you're wrong I'm right" has a lot to do with the problem. I think the problem goes a little deeper then that.
I feel the problem lies more upon the greed of many users who for some reason think devs/themers owe them something. Developers and themers do this because we like to in our own freetime. We like seeing the page views, downloads, thanks, and constructive criticism that push us to go a step further.
I will give an example of how many of us that make releases look at things. And use my personal releases as reference.
My precision theme for all devices I own and some I don't own has about 6k downloads. Precision for cm7 has about 900. Icecreamcomb has a little over 3k. Weapon new clip has about 400. And a few thousand for all my wallpapers, boot animations, and other images I have created. So apparently a lot of people use my work which is what I hope for upon releasing, seeing as I want people to enjoy it as much as I do.
Look at my thanks meter. I have 210 thanks. So that tells me that out of the 10k+ people using my work only 210 (2%?) where grateful enough to take the liberty to click a button and show appreciation for my hours and hours of hard work. But hey that's fine at least some people do appreciate it and many more use it.
However there are always those that do nothing but troll and complain that drives everyone away. It is sad when it gets to the point that people stop developing for a device because of users. I find it quite astounding the nerve of some people.

Requesting binary ics drivers from nvidia

Hey guys as many of us are aware, us relying on carriers and handset manufacturers to release os updates is almost pointless. There are many other devices that are ics capable yet won't be upgraded do to carriers and phone manufacturers. What the sgs2 community did was request drivers from qualcomm and they provided. I think with enough community support nvidia will as well. We are one driver away from complete ics goodness, no more crashes or bugs. I searched Google and saw that this community has already contacted nvidia here: http://forums.developer.nvidia.com/devforum/discussion/1726/tegra-2-source-code/p1 and here: http://forums.developer.nvidia.com/devforum/discussion/comment/3236?Sort=popular
So let's group together and work as a team to convince nvidia they will be doing a great service to our community, it will only strengthen their presence in the android community by doing so.
Any developers here have suggestions on persuading nvidia to support us and have them notice us? I think their dev forum is a good start, also social media may help. I wonder how many g2x owners are still out there?
lets make our voices heard and finish what we started.
Ya we tried, search around.

Their revunue in 2010 is like 3.2billion..
I don't think our million $ of phone on XDA even matter to nVidia.
Nvidia doesnt give a ****... they never release binaries for their video cards or other hardware either regardless of countless requests...

Lol didn't even realize that.
Anyways I tried as well way back when asking for drivers for the gTablet as well, Nvidia doesn't care. Hence why I'm going Samsung for phones, and ATI/AMD for graphics on the PC next time.

Quick edit, did anyone else notice the guy saying that Nvidia is trying to release the binaries for Tegra 2 Dual Cores in 2012? He posted this in November 2011:
Hello Android Development Community
We appreciate all the interest and passion surrounding the NVIDIA Tegra Platform and we take our support for the development community seriously. NVIDIA has been working with Google and Motorola to provide the open source community with the required drivers and other binary code to build full Android OS images for the Tegra 2 powered "Motorola Xoom". We expect Google to make those components available as part of the Android Open Source Project soon.
In addition, NVIDIA is working on a full release of Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) for our Tegra 2 Dual Core and Tegra 3 Quad Core reference devices to be made available early next year. This release package will comprise of binary code, drivers developed on our reference platforms and any patches necessary to ensure stability & performance with ICS. We hope the open source community can leverage this release for their work on all Tegra devices.

But I'm a little confused, why, then, is everyone worried about receiving these binaries? Or am I not reading this correctly?
Sorry for my ignorance, I do not know much about the driver development with regards to linux/android/ICS, going to google this a bit now.

The same issue has been beaten to death on XDA and elsewhere. I am pissed-off that those who newly raise this issue haven't done their homework, they just ignorantly post what has already been dealt with and are using up/wasting bandwidth and storage. The same for others who ask without researching/looking first to determine if the answer to their question exists before they ask. I've stopped answering questions which have been answered many times already. That may be perceived by some as arrogant/harsh/mean/etc. but that's OK, they can keep answering the same questions over and over and over and over and over... again.

Need some info from devs.

hello everyone As some of you must have already read that Moto is closing down in asia-pacific and so in india, I was thinking to sell of my A2.I'm not really sure but thoughts are coming in my mind.So what I want to ask here is that is there any development and breakthrough on good front going on ? (I'm sure something or other might be surely brewing up amongst devs) but still is it that exciting, If yes i would hold of my A2 and wont sell it off (If i am getting some good ROM) or atleast a progress on it (don't get me wrong here i m not pushing anyone).
Just wanted to ask coz, if there is no future regarding development I might think to sell A2 before the prices drop even more.
regards,
peace.
PS : I know the secrecy so if someone wants to reply but doesn't think its right to post in here coz Moto might see it, can drop me a PM

I already know that nothing is guranteed but looking at situation one can atleast judge what is up in store.Right now that dev section is kinda stagnant and devs are upto something in secret and that is absolutely fine considering what moto has done in past.So a small heads up would always be welcomed.

Really? How long have you been here? To pose the question as to if there may be no 'exciting' advances being made on the development front is rather insulting. I can say that I myself have worked 'behind the scenes' and these guys are ALWAYS working on things. How "exciting" they may be is purely based on your own perception. If there was any indication of having no future of development, don't you think these guys would have moved on half a year ago from this phone? Also, I don't see as to why Motorola shutting down to some capacity in India would have any bearing on whether to sell your Atrix 2 or to keep it. Not sure if this is "forum fishing", but hold onto your pole... you're going to get some bites.

You missed my point here, I'm afraid. I posed a question in retort to your own, pointing out all of the 'breakthroughs' that have been made in almost a year, and more specifically here lately. No, the dev team hasn't bought tickets to "Margaritaville" and will not be kicking up their heels after ordering two pina coladas- they are always on the job, and always testing. If you'd like to pass your Atrix 2 on, for whatever reason, then I wish you the best. Impatience has always run amok here in this forum, and more so recently. Be it due to Motorola or otherwise, it's rather unnecessary. I'd suggest waiting before you pull the trigger on a sale of your Atrix 2, with the abilities we are fortunate enough to benefit from by our devs, this is why I opted to hold onto mine after purchasing the SGS3. But, as LaVar Burton used to say, "You don't have to take MY word for it"...

If you'd like to pass your Atrix 2 on, for whatever reason, then I wish you the best. Impatience has always run amok here in this forum, and more so recently. Be it due to Motorola or otherwise, it's rather unnecessary. I'd suggest waiting before you pull the trigger on a sale of your Atrix 2, with the abilities we are fortunate enough to benefit from by our devs, this is why I opted to hold onto mine after purchasing the SGS3. But, as LaVar Burton used to say, "You don't have to take MY word for it"...

For one I'm not being impatient.Impatient would be "hey you dev wats taking you so long i want new ROM" < This is impatient and arrogant. I never said anything like this,It was just a humble question.If you as a kid as some questions to your elder coz they know more does that count as being arrogant,impatient and rude ? I guess no.I asked very humbly as they know much much more than me.And again for the breakthrough as I said earlier yet repeating for nth time i am grateful to them and did not discredit or deny that fact.They have done much awesome work and changed the A2's scene.But for once just get in my shoes and try to think,and again if someone interprets this as disrespecting devs i really cant help coz i didn't.

You're right my friend, but the atmosphere and the people being what they are around this forum, you were always going to be flamed. I'd warned you.
In any case, there's not much anybody is going to be able to tell you. Things are uncertain and they take time...you know what I mean.
I wonder why anybody can't understand that Motorola leaving India does have a bearing on whether you want to keep your phone. I perfectly understand.
Anyway, long story short, on this forum, if you ask a question - you're spamming, if you don't know something - you're an idiot, if you you have a different opinion - you're being aggressive.
Pay no heed. Relax. Enjoy life

Lol! If you think my comments were "flaming", you ain't seen flaming yet. I'm not answering for the devs here, but exchanging with the OP my own rebuttal. I'll allow any dev here the opportunity to address the question. Perhaps you shouldn't be so sensitive, athani. Just a suggestion...
Edit: I really wasn't trying to be a jerk, but when someone - anyone - makes a post, they should expect to have it open for discussion. That's all I was engaging in.

Oh, I'm good. Trust me, my blood pressure is still within normal range. I was just clarifying that my comments were not of a "flaming" nature. Now, if others flame the OP over this, I'd have to align myself with Archmag3, in that he's got every right to ask a question here. With every question should come answers, unfortunately and at times frequently they happen to be befouled with opinion.

I never suggested that any particular persons comments were "flaming" in nature. So we're cool. BTW, "opinions" by themselves can never "befouled" or for that matter be true or untrue. That's something lots of people here don't understand. Hence, all the unpleasantness.

Let's not argue semantics here, I stated that "answers" can be befouled with opinion. That is quite categorical.

Just think like this..if moto is shutting down sales in india that means no one is ever goin to get a chance to own such an awesome phone like atrix 2..this phone is really awesome man..i am goin to hold on to my A2 (mine just two months old) till the last breath is out of my phone..and i would advice you to do the same..and service centres will work naa..so why worry??

I think the resale value will be adversely affected because of real or perceived lack of after sales support.
About chance to own a Motorola phone, I think that is less of a consideration as these days, everything is available on ebay India.

[Q] Sense 5

Anyone know if there are any developers for the One XL working on a Sense 5 port? If not is there a way to put in a formal request / pledge to donate to those who produce a sense 5 port? Thanks all
There is a Sense 5 theme in the Themes forum. No Sense 5 roms just yet.

I'm still a little unaware of how developer requests work, but is it appropriate to post in the general forum about a ROM request / donation pledges for a Sense 5 port? I'm not sure if that would be popular among the HOXL community but I think it would be. That way, we can have a huge part of whats coming out with the HTC One on our devices :fingers-crossed:
Newroot said he would try,he said we had a good chance at getting it,believe me id liked to see one too,the evo lte has a port and its basicly the same phone as are hox!!!!

I would definitely throw in a few bucks if somebody successfully ported sense 5 to the one x. So long as it was functional that is lol. Hopefully somebody can come up with something, that way it will make me feel less bad about not having the newest from HTC haha

This isn't eBay. Developers may pick up a request or not depending on what they feel like doing. If you want to start a bounty thread, go for it, but people work on this kind of stuff when they want to, not because other people ask them to.

I'm not sure if that was meant to be offensive or not. But if you check my post history I have been very supportive of all the developers here. I just know that a lot of the developers do this in their spare time and is not their primary job obviously. So I could show my support by providing a few extra dollars from my bank account. It is simply a token of my appreciation. But thank you for the clarification

Bounty is a good idea i think, the port its not that easy and the dev can receive a good incentive for that, not a pay, is a grand "thanks".

[Q] Usage for my "old" Nexus 5

Hello boys and girls,
I sadly have to tell you that im using an iPhone as primary device now..
But well that's not the point ^^
Seriously now..
I'm searching for a new usage of my N5. I still love it, that's why I won't sell it, but I have no idea what to use it for.
I already googled but.. Well I don't won't to use a 350€ device just as a desk clock
Any ideas are welcome
Ask your mommy

There's nothing wrong with using an iPhone. I have an iPhone 6 that I use, and I love it. It's a seriously awesome device. Just do what I do, and switch between the two. Sometimes I feel like using Android and when I do, I use my N5 or 2014 Moto X. And sometimes I feel like using my iPhone. So I just pop the SIM card out and switch phones at my leisure.
If that's not an option you could use it as a dedicated media player. Or a WiFi only web device. Use it for everything you used to use it for except making calls.

No prob bud. I wouldn't want to sell my N5 either, it's amazing how well it's held up even though it's over a year old. Like I said before, I have a 2014 Moto X and I still use my N5 all the time. I always sell my old devices to pay for my new ones but the N5 was an exception. I actually did sell my first one, and ended up regretting it so much that I sold my OnePlus One to buy a new N5 a few months ago lol.

Hey people, don't you have any sense of humour and you are all afraid to be open to criticism.
Guy didn't mean anything bad, but you really make a thread/question that belongs to kindergarden and not here.
P.S. Trsix forget to say that you must put it on vibrate first.

No, you are wrong. I have no problems with what kind or brands of device others are using. I just don't understand that people could have such problems like OP. I would be shame to ask people such stupid questions and put my spoiled face in front of all forum.
