Is windows rt possible to run on tab 2 7in p3110(if we already had all driver for gpu cpu memory etc)
The possibilities are endless. But stop dreaming and just buy a Windows tablet if you need one. Any other effort is worthless.
Please close this thread! If you like Windows,buy tablet on this OC. And this threads,in which roms for only android!
But any Windows impossible on this device.
Nice day!
Download linux deploy and install ubuntu or arch,or kali

Put a windows installation disk in your cd port .. Follow the instructions .. Then throw you tab and buy a windows tab
Greetings;
This isn't impossible.. But not available anywhere, Call it: Money making competitions...
Anyways you can use a side load app to run win xp. But will not run properly.
hi people
be quiet

I think you can, google it to find right app.
Hello,
i have tried google to find a app for that, but wth no result.
Kan you tell me a name of an app for emulating windows on an android tablet?
Thanks

In fact I saw this emulator in market and try to find an answer here.
Just wonder whether it allows me to install a program which runs on my old windows 95 or 98...
In other words, can I install .exe software on it?
Thanks!
Some?
I have seen some do it but not well.
I think you can start Ubuntu and Windows 95 or 98 google it I've seen some Nexuses One running Ubuntu, Debian etc.
Its easier to run ubuntu than windows

Ya it is much easier to run ubuntu or debian do to the fact that android is already a linux distribution, and ubuntu and debian both support arm processors standard which is what android phones use. Also in order to emulate windows you would have to emulate the intel cpu and that would make things unbairably slow, to the point of being almost unfunctionable.
Hope that helps

Hi, been looking for emulators to isntall som legacy games ( civ 2 etc) any suggestions?
Anyone got suggestions? been looking for ages but nothing yet. Haven't been able to find something userfriendly.
I'm new to androids but I think you could always try to install Ubuntu then Wine to run some windows app's.. but you'd need pretty powerfull machine and quite luck to achieve that.

Wine is not an emulator, it only translates some platform-dependent things so windows app can run on Linux. As a result wine can only run on x86 architecture. To run windows on ARM android there are many x86 emulator available but of course the performance is not very satisfying. Windows 98 or below can run although with a bit slow. windows XP and later is much heavier so you can't run it in an emulator with acceptable speed
Linux have distros for ARM so it's much easier to install
with devices like s4 and xz is it still too hard to run win 7 in an emulator? win 8 has arm support

I know I am a noob and probably asking a dumb queshtion but is it possible to dump the whole Android os and download W7 or ?
I know with my home computer I assembled all the pieces and then bought the OS. loaded it and walla it worked. can I do the same for the Gtab? unitnstall everything and start freash on a windows platform?

Uh?.. I'm thinking no, the ARMv7 Processor was not designed to run intel based operating systems.
short answer: no
Operating systems require drivers. This is the same reason when you install linux on a computer you have to go searching for those pesky Broadcom drivers so your wireless works. There has been some progress in porting a whole operating system to a device not intended for it (Android on HD2 is the furthest progressed as far as I know), and there are some ROM's/launchers to bring the WP7 experience to Android.
if you're talking about Windows 7 i'd say no way! even with the announcement of Windows 8 running on ARM....
Ok thanks.
Ya if your looking for the layout or widget stylings check out "7 widgets Home Plus", plus one of my coworkers just bought a windows 7 phone and has had 3 viruses in 1 week. I am by no means an anti windows person...just not the best mobile enviroment as they have proved time and time again...
Windows can not run on ARM processors as the code is not made for it. That's why you see x86 and x64 editions of Windows, it only supports those processors.
However, Windows 8 promises ARM support as well as increased tablet usability, but its Microsoft, so who knows.
You don't really need Windows anyways.
It is possibly to install Windows 7 and dual boot in tablet with Honeycomb 3.1???
I saw that the tablet its selled with windows 7 and honeycomb, i want to use both, d u know a way to do that?
Thanks a lot and sorry about my english
Windows 7 = x86
Transformer= ARM
Cant do it. The one that dual booted used an x86 processor, I think.
When Windows 8 comes out, might be able to do that.
Thanks for the quick reply ^^
Another option, since dual booting won't work, is if you have a Win7 system already, you can just remote desktop into it. There are a few threads on here that have discussed the best RDP client to use.
You can get the Iconia W500 tablet... which runs on Windows 7 with x86 platform... then you can try dualbooting Android x86 on it... I know Android x86 run pretty decent on the Asus T91 tablet.
However, you can install Ubuntu on it (the ARM version of Ubuntu that is). But still its not straight forward dual booting, where you can restart to the other OS. Read more here : DEV Thread, HOWTO Thread.
The other alternative is to use a remote desktop client, Splashtop HD is a good client if you want very a fast frame rate (for watching videos n stuff).
hi guys, sorry for the newb question, but i am wondering if it possible to get any windows os on a nexus 7 or is there any cheap tablet out there that will install windows? i put xp tablet edition on a o2 joggler for a friend of mine who uses it in his garage, but he wants to now run some of his diagnostic gear on a tablet if there is one that can run windows? sorry again in advance. .
kindest regards

No most tablets use an ARM processor which is incompatible with Windows which requires an Intel type x86 or x64 processor. While there is a version of Windows 8 for ARM devices its very closed source so it cannot be ported to other devices. Plus the ARM version of Windows 8 won't run any existing Windows programs.
You'll probably need a tablet with an Intel x86 processor, something with an Intel Atom should suffice unless you need a lot of power.
Yes
Pick up tablet
Break open through middle
insert window
Insert another window
Voila. Windows in tablet
So I tried out Android x86 for my PC. It works beautifully. I cannot boot it on my Surface Pro though... It seems like the Surface Pro was designed to only boot EFI boot loaders. Not BIOS boot loaders... I was wondering if somebody could lend a hand at helping me get past this issue. I really think Android x86 would be great for the Surface Pro, there are so many things I miss from my Nexus 7 but I don't want an Android device, if I could just dual boot it every now and then, I would be happy. Can someone please get the Android 4.2 x86 ISOs to boot via EFI? That would be appreciated.

hmmm ... interesting you tried ...
and came out with a finding ...
following this thread on the possible development on this front ...
I've always dreamt of a Surface Pro on Android always ...
a reboot to Win7 for Work ... and back to Android !!!
going to be really very interesting ...
Hope the Android X86 team is peaking at this thread ...
Cheers!
Did you bother disabling secure boot?
Otherwise you can try "jar of beans" or "bluestacks" to run android applications for windows. There is a version of bluestacks which claims to be optimised for the surface pro, in reality its just bluestacks with proper windows 8 touch support.

Of course I did, the problem is the Surface Pro's UEFI chip does not actually support booting BIOS-based bootloaders. It only boots EFI-based bootloaders like the Windows Boot Manager or Grub EFI, etc. Unless one was to emulate BIOS to boot Android, it needs a EFI bootloader to even boot it on the Surface Pro. Ubuntu boots fine on the Surface Pro, but it is booting from Grub EFI. I copied the Grub EFI file to my other flash drive, and Grub indeed boots. It is the trouble of getting Android x86 to boot because it isn't using a EFI-based bootloader.
Also, that wasn't the point. I want to run pure Android just for the experience of having Android right on my Surface so I don't miss having a Nexus 7. I tried it on my desktop PC and it runs beautifully, if only I could get it on my Surface...
Surface Pro comes with Windows 8 Pro and a CPU capable of second-level address translation. It is therefore capable of running Client Hyper-V, which is a hypervisor-based virtualization (rather than hosted VM) technology that allows you to run another OS in parallel with Windows. I believe it includes support for BIOS-based OSes. Perhaps you should try that?

But what's the point in that? I don't want to virtualize. I want to run it natively... That's like saying hey use Bluestacks. I want Android running native on my Surface.
Anyway, guys I got it. Here it is.
First of all, running on a hypervisor is nothing like using Bluestacks. Android would then be running as "natively" as Windows at that point (Windows itself would also be running on the hypervisor), except that Windows would have first access to the display (Android would be able to use the graphics hardware nonetheless). When the virtual display was set to the Android machine, Android would be interacting with the input devices. As a plus side, you could switch back and forth rapidly...
That said, if you managed to get it working on bare metal, that's cool. Did you mean to include a link in your "Here it is "?

The tutorial is on the YouTube page. But the problem with the Hyper-V hypervisor is it uses that remote console. I only found it decent for running Windows with the guest drivers installed. Unless I'm just not executing it very well, Hyper-V isn't a good solution. Since VirtualBox is used much more in the Linux world, I would use that before using Hyper-V.
I'll investigate the virtual solutions though and let you know.
more recent linux kernel versions do support hyper-v, partly provided by microsoft believe it or not
I would assume that hyper-v support would carry over into android. Just a case of setting it up.
Worth trying. However, Android runs a somewhat customized kernel build that probably doesn't include a lot of the optional stuff such as the Hyper-V helpers. Of course, you could install the required kernel module for them...

I somewhat doubt the android platform itself has support for hyper-v.
Further, if you're looking to boot android directly would an android kernel and platform support booting via UEFI at all yet?
What partition would android be installed to? it likely wouldn't like being stuffed into an NTFS partition so you'd have to repartition the SSD and take some of the space from Windows, or boot android from an SDcard or USB memory stick.
EDIT: I see you did infact get it running, nice job, did you just use GRUB for a bootloader? did you have android run from the SSD or from elsewhere?
tbh if I had a surface pro I don't think i'd be installing android on it, slightly a waste.
by the way, a faster way of doing advanced reboot so you get the boot options is to hold shift and select the reboot option from the power menu.
So, after a short little flip around the web, I came across this
https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/2013/android-4.2.2r1-ia0
somehow.
I would love to have my Surface Pro dual-bootable between Android and Win8, but your tutorial has sort of overwhelmed me.
Are you using this code? Would it be better to?
Just wasn't sure where this development was going....

rEFIit
Have you tried a rEFIit or rEFIitd? As the name subtly suggests, its a bootloader for EFI machines. I suggest having a look. I'm going to try this myself on a couple of machines tomorrow once I get to work. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out or if I lead someone down the right track!

Hi Folks.....
Feeling a little nervous here seems I must have took a wrong turn somewhere to end up in the Microsoft Surface forum LOL.
Is anyone still wondering about this? I noticed the other day that the linux kernel 3.10 which is currently used by the android-x86 project has android efi drivers/patches which maybe what you require. I'd also have a poke around the Android-IA sources which is the official intel android open source project from what I recall there's more efiboot goodies in there.
As an extra bonus the 3.10 kernel also includes a patch for Binder which allows a 32bit userspace to function correctly with a 64bit PAE kernel which means "BIG RAM" so if you have more than 4 gig and a 64 bit processor you can get access to the full ram allocation, not quite the pure 64bit Android that I want but it'll do for now while I figure out the finer points of x86_64 assembly language.
If Anyone wants/needs a kernel rattling off with these options enabled just let me know and i'll well rattle one off!
Thanks

If the offer still stands, I would be interested in this (..or even just a how-to).
I have a multiboot system with PCLinuxOS, Ubuntu, and Win8.1 running right now, and I can get the recent 4.4rc1 release from android x86 to boot if I switch to legacy bios and use legacy grub from PCLinuxOS or the android_x86 thumbdrive, but I cannot get it to boot from Ubuntu's EFI capable Grub2 (..d/t kernel panic). On my Acer m5-583p it works great in legacy mode (wifi, touchscreen, keyboard, etc), but I would like to be able to use an EFI bootloader so that I don't have to change to/from legacy/efi before selecting the OS at boot.
Thanks! :good:
