Yes, Linux has been ported to the PSP : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSXaoWsDNYI
Not much you can do with it though, and I really doubt you'll ever see android or any kind of GUI.

Can you install Windows 8 on a Xoom?

I've been hearing of people getting it installed on Samsung tablets and was wondering if there was any way to install Windows 8 on a Xoom?

For Pete's sake do a search there are several threads on this already.
(For those too lazy to search, the answer is a resounding NO)
Also I can find no evidence that Windows 8 is running on current Samsung Android tablets.

Microsoft has shown interest in the arm architecture and said that windows 8 will support it but I haven't seen or read anything saying that it actually works. I would be interested to see a video if you can provide one.

Yes, there are Samsung tablets running Windows 8, totally true.
Now, the rest you're missing: those Samsung tablets are made for Windows 8. They look like Android tablets; they feel like Android tablets; they sound like Android tablets; they smell like Android tablets (well, mine smells a bit of plastic and metal)... but, alas, they're specifically designed to run Windows 8.
You should read the news a bit and catch up.

I just had the question myself and did a search and came up with this! Correct me if I am wrong but, didn't this site used to be for people interested in hacking their equipment and sharing that information with others? Most of the posts on this site are new guys asking questions and people that have been around for a while blasting them for asking. "For Pete's Sake" get a life...

There's a search button for a reason. This topic (and about 90% of noob questions) has been talked to death.

This would be very cool to see but I don't see it ever happening sadly.:crying:

How much of Android's source code is hardware dependent? How much is closed source?

Hi everybody!
I've always used this wonderful XDA forums just as an avid fan of cooked ROMs, testing many of them on my DesireHD and then on my S3 Neo, all the same trying to understand how android works.
But increasingly I found myself asking how much of Android's source code is dependent on the hardware it should run on...
I understand that all should be compiled for the correct platform, ARM, x86, whatever, but apart from this, what is really different?
For example, suppose that we were talking about Android 5.1.1 : how much source NEEDS (as some function of the phone wouldn't work instead) to be different if 5.1.1 should work on the S3Neo instead of on Desire HD?
I mean, in the desktop world, the x86 platform has a standard structure, and if I'm trying to install Windows or Linux, all I should care of is getting drivers for devices unknown to the OS, but the OS installs and works unchanged, and the very same install cd could be used on many different pcs...
We can also put it in another way: if we pick up the AOSP sources, how much stuff has to be added to make it work on a specific device?
Thanks for any advice on this curiosity of mine!

Up!
Nobody has nothing to say on this topic?

Hey, if you got the answer to your question then please share. I am also looking for an answer to this question.

Working Linux support for the PH-1

PHP:
https://androideputies.com/2016/12/11/linux-update-adb-fastboot-to-the-latest-version/
adb version should show 1.0.40
adb and flashboot both work. Tested on Ubuntu 16.04
Otherwise the adb abd fastboot versions are too old.

@dvdivx if you think people aren't smart enough to figure out all of this, then you should be sending them instead to the site to read about this. You know, educating the geeks, not just handing them a link to download is all.
1. Everyone should check with your Distro first to set it up, to make things a little simpler for yourself.
2. Then check out Android's site for any information you may want to read.
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Most Distros already have the android-sdk-platform-tools...
android-sdk-platform-tools are available to download through the Ubuntu Repos...
Arch Linux also has the android-sdk-platform-tools
Again, check with your distro! Besides installing, you need to run them as root, and have your bash profile for root set, or whichever shell you are using, to the /path you installed them at as an example; export PATH=$PATH:/home/foo/Build/platform-tools

If you use the adb and fastboot from the distro IT WONT WORK. That's why I posted this. The versions in distros are too old. This is from the current Android 9 from Google's SDK.

You're saying distro(s) but you mentioned you tested on Ubuntu, so is this Ubuntu you are talking about or distros in General? Because not all distros are outdated... This is why I did say to "Check with your distro". Sure some might be outdated, but certainly all of them are not.
As an example Arch Linux has the latest version;
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/android-sdk-platform-tools/
And the truth is, any decent distro with a decent package maintainer is going to keep this updated!
A lot of maintainers in distros are also slow to update certain things, it doesn't mean it's not going to be at some point in time. But to make sure, it's always best to contact them, and since you use Ubuntu and you brought this up, you should contact them;
https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/android-sdk-platform-tools

Question launcher safety and how to apply

seems like the launcher files from http://fytfactory.mariodantas.com/index.php (i think should be the aame as 4pda) is reported for malware when i do scanninh. May I know if it safe to use?
EDIT: I compared this and original one from original ru thread is the same so i assume it's a false alarm
another question:
As from youtube tutorial, only 1 launcher can put to the unit otherwise the panel keys wont work, is it true?
Thanks so much
Thanks

would like to seek for your expertise advice
Thanks

You must have big balls to write like this, why do you write that isn't safe ?, do you know that many AV reports some unknown binaries as virus ? (false positive) simply by the fact that they don't have a thrust report of that binaries ?, well let me explain something, the ZIP you download from my website containes linux binaries (Android) to flash the launcher, the may be reported by some AV
So on your knees and ask for mercy !

Let me laugh a bit ! LOLOLOLOLOL debugkey maybe inside the launcher APK, and Evo-gen maybe lsec6315 and 6316 binaries ? @Xuxaze you newbie !

@jasonwong28 you're right, you did it normally, it's always a good idea to check downloaded stuff with virustotal, you did it and you ask people about safety, that's normal, but @Xuxaze affirm that it isn't safe maybe without any knowledge, you know what ?, ,I was developping an Android APP named FYT Launcher manager, to allow install / uninstall FYT launchers from Android Headunit directly without flash (root required or kernel embeeded app to be decided) but reading that comment from the newbie I ask myself, why I am wasting time for the community ?, le the code apart and gonna take good time instead of wasting it for people like the newbie !

Many nice launchers Can they be used on a Joying 11.6" uis7862 with a resolution of 1920x1080?
Thanks

I fully understand your anger and frustration. It happens to more of us that some user says something insulting, entirely wrong, plain stupid or whatever makes you furious. And it is understandable that you feel like this right now.
Please note that in general there are a lot of users that are really happy and pleased with what you do, and perhaps half of them do not even express their gratitude.
Please cool down a few days. If you still feel the same after a few days, then you should indeed stop with your contributions.
I have been there a few times as well, right or not (from my point of view), but then I balance the positive reactions against one negative reaction from "some user". Please let not one trolling user spoil your pleasure in what you do. It would be a sad way to say goodbye.

Thanks fellow, I'll calm down and get back soon !

Hi fellow, to be honnest I neved tried them in that screen resolution, that's why I wrote 1024 x 600 and 1280 x 720 in the website, let me check in 4PDA if anyone try them in higher resolutions and I'll get back with an answer !
