I have a Nuvision windows 10 tablet (eMMC). In the BIOS it has Android as an OS image id (Please refer images)

Does that mean, some how I can boot into Android if I have OS image stored?
same situation here, would like to know this too.

Hello everyone,
Can anybody explain how dual boot works.
Whether android is booted on top of windows mobile as some upper layer or does it rely on hardware as it is native OS installed. Is there any difference between native android phone and android booted from windows mobile, except missing some functionality?
Thanks
Cheers!
when you use heret to boot android winmo is shut down, then android runs as the native os, this is nessesary as without android being flashed to the devices rom there would be no way to boot it obviously. in theory if android is made stable enough on a device it would be possible to make an android rom for that device
To add some additional information:
You are probably talking about the Gen Y dual boot software.
Gen Y dualboot is nothing more than an application that runs immediately after Windows is booted. So before you get to the dualboot, Windows is actually already booted.
Then, after pressing Android, Windows Mobile launches the Haret, by which Windows Mobile shuts down and the Android Kernel loads up.
So to have it in a schematic view:
-----------------------------------------------------Stay in Windows Mobile
Kernel WM --> WM booted --> DualBoot <
-----------------------------------------------------Launch Android Kernel --> Android booted
Tablet with dual OS:Android 4.4.4 and Windows 8.1 32bit
I wanted to delete android OS and keep only Win OS.
I deleted android OS partitions but when I tried to merge partitions on Windows OS,something went wrong and the tablet does not boot normally,any more.
Every time I try to boot,Aptio Setup Utility launches and nothing else happens.
Please help me to install windows 8.1 OS again.

Hi! Take a look at this situation: I have an Android x86 tablet (model Multilaser M7i Nb190) Intel, Android 4.4, but the internal emmc memory i'snt working anymore, but the rest of the device still 'works', Generic Android x86 boot up, even Ubuntu n' ZorinOS Lite, but I can go after setup screen because there's no touchscreen support for my device, I have the original rom, but the structure of the device rom and of the Android x86.iso seems to be different. How to port the device drivers (libs) to the Android x86 generic.iso rom? I have version of Android x86 4.4, its better to use it because it is the same version of the device rom (in general)? Thanks for any help. ... And why xda app still giving network error after trying to upload an image?!
Hello Community!
I am asking myself it is possibe to direkt boot a debian ARM Port or ARCH Linux ARM Port (maybe from SD Card) on my Smartphone? I saw lots of videos booting a Linux on Top of Android but i would like to "natively" run a OS. Where a Custom ROM typically has drivers for a special type of device i am thinking if a very generel distribution could detect most of the devices hardware...
Any Ideas if this would be possible?
AFAIK it's not possible.
Can you give me a (detailled) hint why you think this would not work?
When reading the informations: https://archlinuxarm.org/about/downloads
The released downloads are designed for the specific systems above; however, our package repositories work with any ARM device compatible with ARMv5, ARMv6, ARMv7-a, or ARMv8-a AArch64 instructions.
In TWRP i can select Storage - maybe starting from TWRP command line a image start from SD Card would be possible?
You initially said your goal is to completely replace Android by Linux ( ARCH Linux - what is for tablets only ) on a smartphone, IIRC.
Now you say you want to run Linux ( ARCH Linux ) on top of Android. Confused ...
hello! i meant that my smartphone can start the TWRP bootloader and from there the boot process could be (maybe) handed over to an image at the SD card....
thats the idea... ;-)
TWRP is a Custom Recovery means a restricted Android OS ( like Windows RE for Windows machines), not a bootloader ( what is comparable to UEFI / BIOS on Windows machines ).
The Android bootloader starts the recovery mode and the kernel, which then starts the operating system of your smartphone.
