I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but I figured I'd ask anyway... I really don't want to scrap the Shield Tablet!
Is there any way of running 64 bit android apps on the Shield Tablet?
The Cortex-A15 CPU core used in the Tegra K1 features the ARMv7 ISA. It is incapable of running 64-bit code.

Okay so I got excited that Asus was hinting at a dual booted tablet with windows 8 and maybe android ICS or Jelly Bean when it comes out however when they have revealed their product today it turns out it is a desktop pc which leads me to their windows 8 transformer tablets. Does anyone know if it will be possible to root these devices and dual boot with android or am I asking too much there?
Im not familiar with those tablets. Do they use x86 architecture or ARM?
ICS is ported to x86 and it is developed all the time. Check out this site: http://www.android-x86.org/
Thanks for your help, they are building windows on both arm and x86 devices however arm is just a metro version and x86 is a full blown Intel processor with desktop capabilities. I'm going to look at the new transformer books and when they come out I will dual boot, these will be amazing products.
its more than likely that its possible but I don't think anyone has seen anything even close to a product out side of the couple of videos posted recently.
ARM is the tricky one, x86 should be fine but ARM we just don't know right now.

This article claims it will be x86
And there is still the BlueStacks option, which lets you run android apps on win/x86.

I've searched high and low for this but can't find any information. Does anyone know what is the source of the Android that comes pre-installed on various Chinese/Taiwanese tablets with Intel Atom (x86) processors? Is an image available somewhere? I'm pretty sure it can't just be Android-x86 as these tablets often use Atoms with PowerVR SGX 5xx graphics which IIRC are not supported by Android-x86 .
Like as not, you guessed right the first time...
I realize this is a pretty late response, but...
What you are probably looking for is Android-x86.org, in fact, after all.
I would not be one bit surprised, if any cheap-ish Chinese x86 tablet, you find, is running a knock-off of the Android-x86 project. The Chinese manufacturers may list atoms with PowerVR graphics chips, but what's listed, and what's functionally supported, when you receive the tablet may be two entirely different things.
That said, Android-x86 runs reasonably well, if you don't mind tweaking the kernel config to fit your hardware, before compiling. (Reasonably <> perfectly, of course...)

The fact that the cedarview/clover trail Atoms have PowerVR chips is down to Intel. That's how they're designed. It's not something an OEM could change, Chinese or otherwise.
Without hardware graphics support, cedarview Atoms are pretty hopeless. They simply aren't capable of doing things like HD video, or pretty much anything related to 3D graphics. There's some limited Linux support, but aside from that it's Windows only if you want a capable system. Without an Android driver (which Android-x86 lacks) it really wouldn't even be worth trying, believe me.
Most likely (as others have said in other threads) these tablets run Android-x86 with some custom (probably unlicensed) PowerVR driver
Sorry if this question was already asked(i could not find it any where)
Sorry if this is in wrong place
so here is the question
I know that all android tablet&phones are built with ARM processors.But what is the difference between ARM and desktop processors
they come in single core, dual core, quad core, octal core (read:Samsung To Unveil 8-Core ARM Chip In February so they have a bit more power than the PC's in 2005's so why cant they run a full functional windows 8 or linux(android is based on linux) or win7 or winxp?
win xp need only 512 mb ram but now a days we have 2Gb ram Tablets why do they need android instead of it why cant they insall windows
OR
Is there a way to run windows in tablet (not by emulating)??
ARM is the architecture, different from x86/64, an OS not designed for an architecture cannot run on it...
This is as far as I understand why Ubuntu OS uses CM10 as base, instead of rewriting the whole OS from scratch.

Arm is something like proccesor designed only for small devices like mobiles..
It is at low level for now,later days it may reach to a good speed proccesor.
Since it is for small devices, it will not carry much load, as pc processor does..:thumbup:
Hello. I'm new on this forum, so please be gentle...
Can someone tell me how can I install Windows on a Tablet? I can't seem to find the answer on GOOGLE.
This is the Tablet and it's specs:

OS: Android 4.2.2
Battery: Lithium Polymer 5000mAh
I appreciate any kinds of help and anyone who tries to help.
Have a nice day/night!
If you want install Windows like a PC (desktop apps...) it is impossible because are different platforms (ARM VS X86-64).
If you mean Windows RT, actually is it not possible
What do you mean I can't install Windows on a Tablet? There are Tablets that have Windows on them. I saw a tablet that had Windows and Android on it. They were two separate Tablets, but they were both the same model with the same specs.
I'm not talking about PC version of Windows. I'm talking about the version that is on Tablets and Phones, Windows Mobile or something. There has to be a Custom ROM with that kind of Windows for me to flash it on the Tablet. But I don't know where to look for it.
EDIT: I just found out that there is Windows 8.1 RT for ARM based devices.
If you mean the Asus Duet, it's an x86 , not ARM.
There aren't custom ROM with Windows RT inside. Cotulla is working on it with HTC One.

Damn it, just search the net! Windows 8.1 RTM works with ARM cpus. The thing is I have no clue how to install it on android. It is an iso file that boots from the usb, but that only works on pcs(I think). They don't give us the instructions on how to install it on the Android. :crying::crying:

You cant run windows or even windows RT on your tablet/ majority of tablets out there (unless you create a virtual engine to mimic it which will work like crap) but i can suggest you side load Ubuntu with your android device which will work well. The OS is very malleable in that it is extremely open source AND is linux based, search for that instead... Good luck.
Quote RamRaja. Try to install that.

Are you yelling and cussing at people to figure out what you cant?
Right now tablets dont really come as blank personal computing devices that you can unstall what ever OS and boot loader you want. The windows system would need drivers for all the on board hardware which may not be possible...

This app might help you if needed for Microsoft windows core apps. It runs off a server... even gives you 2GB free cloud storage if they havent changed it yet. Onlive desktop app for android. Hope that helps.
BTW: Yes RT can run on ARM, but currently does not work for yours as detailed above.

First of all, sorry for yelling. I just said to him that there's already a windows that can run on arm cpus. But he didn't believe me...
Second, there aren't a large variety of components for tablets, most of them have the same crap. So it wouldn't be needing so many drivers.

Well it says ANY arm based device. So my cpu falls into that category. Why are you saying my tablet can't run it?
BTW: I don't want to offend anyone. I just hoped that someone knew about it and how do do it. There is on now, but it's made for a surface tablet...
It would be nice if we could flash it though custom recovery.
I was reading about Win 8 RT Edition and thought if it supports Arm processors, can it run on Andriod devices? Such as Kindle,Nexus and other tablets to come? Not sure about the tablets that use Armv7 , but there's gotta be some.
