The enV touch does match the required hardware for Android to run, but my question is would it be possible to dual boot on Qaulcomm's Brew devices? Like booting Android from a micro SD of at least 2-4gbs instead of booting the Brew OS on the phone. Does anyone believe this is possible? What if it was a tethered boot so the phone has to be plugged in when it boots up.

That would be cool if it did run android.
I got one of these phones from a friend and I'm going to mess around with this over the summer.
I'll probably not succeed, but I do know a good deal about Linux, so there's always a chance.
I'll post something here if I get anything.
I have installed Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 4. I think...or is it Ubuntu for Phones I installed? Or Ubuntu for Devices? That's my first question...are there different versions of the OS with these different names or are they all the same? I installed from the "Installing Ubuntu for Devices" page.
That leads into my second, closely-related question: Is what I installed essentially the same OS (albeit a different build, of course) that will be installed on the production phones due to hit in China etc later this year?

That's the one you want. The Ubuntu for Devices Wiki is an update of installing Ubuntu Touch. Why the name change? I don't know. It is separate from Desktop Ubuntu still. The promised convergence has not come yet. It may be that Desktop is now supporting touch? A lot of people still think of it as Ubuntu Touch which was the first version when you actually booted into CyanogenMod and ran Ubuntu on top of that as a skin. It was still Ubuntu Touch when they "flipped the container" and you booted into Ubuntu and ran the needed CyanogenMod bits inside the OS. Both of those versions are deprecated and each new version had to be flashed to the device by hand. (Quantal, Raring and Saucy.)
When the system evolved to be able to push OTA (Over The Air) updates to the devices they dropped a couple of devices from official support, rewrote the Wiki as Ubuntu for Devices and moved to the Trusty release. At this point I refer to the project as Ubuntu for Devices as that is the name on the Install Wiki... However I have seen where people inside Canonical are pushing to just call it Ubuntu in advance of the convergence which is still forthcoming... Maybe with the October release of Utopic?

Uh yup... Keep updating and you should be exactly where the official public release is when it comes.
I'm trying to boot Remix OS Legacy version on a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop, from a San Disk 16GB USB 3.0 drive. I've downloaded and burned the Remix OS to the USB twice but all I get is a Boot Loop.
The PC starts booting and I get the option to boot in Resident Mode or Guest Mode. Doesn't matter which I choose, it gets to the point in the screen shot below and the PC simply reboots over and over.
I've checked the BIOS and can't find anywhere to disable secure boot or anything like that. Any help or ideas Thanks!

When your pc starts, keep pressing F2 key. You will enter the BIOS menu. Go to the boot tab, select "Legacy Boot" mode and disable "Secure Boot". Change the boot structure from HDD to FDD. Press F10 to save and reboot. Done.

Have you read what the poor guy asked?
Same problem on my side, no Legacy Boot or secure boot options in my bios.

As a matter of fact, I did. Thats why I asked him to search harder, coz no secure boot, no remix. Totally potato.

Ah, but you didn't say search harder. You just reiterated what I'd already been doing.
I guess that old PC isn't gonna run Remix.

My nine year old ****ty laptop has legacy boot, dude, how is it possible you dont have it. If not, get an update from the motherboard's official website.
For example, some acer laptops did not have legacy boot mode, so, they released an update to it on their official website. Maybe, your manufacture did it too.

Do you really think that all the brands release updates for their bios?
Most of them don't! The one for my motherboard ends at 24/11/2010....

Well, thats potato. No remix for you.
Well, how about dual booting? YOu can always try my grub2 method. I have posted it in the forum.

Well don't look anymore for secure boot because Inspirons don't have/support it.(Under system information mine says unsupported) I don't have any ideas/recommendations for you other than to redownload and reburn to usb because on my Inspiron all I had to do was change the boot priority order in the boot menu and whenever the usb is plugged in I boot to it.
I think Remix is still in alpha stage. From other side, there is to many diferent hardware, and it is hard to support all of them. My experience: I have Toshiba Satellite L775D AMD quad core wit AMD Radeon 6520G hd and 6GB RAM. I am very familiar with instalation of OSs on hdd, I have 4 Linux distros, 1 Android x86 and 1 Windows 10 on same hard drive (multi boot, runing GRUB from Arch Linux), but I can't boot Remix. Also, I can not boot Android x86 Lollipop and Android x86 Marsmellow. I can boot Android x86 KitKat and have one installed on hdd. From other side, on my wife Acer Aspire, I can boot all of these stuffs.
Sory dude, but I think you simple have no luck with your hardware and Remix. Maybe things will be better in future for you (and for me).

Same with me still, with beta
Workaround for dell inspiron is to use PlopKexec boot manager. Don't know if it will work for HDD but I got USB 32bit version working on my Dell inspiron 1545 using it.
32bit works for me!
Got an old Dell GX620. 64bit gave endless loop symptoms. 32bit works like a charm! :good:
My Toshiba Sattelite C50d-a-13w can boot remix and android x86(_64) from 5.1 to 7.1 ...................
I realize that this is way overdue, however Dell laptops back then did not support secure boot, and while they did support both UEFI, you could not enable or disable either, you just had to manually specify each time you boot from USB what you wish to boot (and Dells use F12 for manual boot).
As to whether RemixOS boots or not, that is down to the specific hardware and OS version.
I have an Intel DH55HC motherboard, and Remix OS booted on it without issues, until the last versions, where it would keep failing to boot.
With Windows 10X coming out and we all expected this device initially was made to run Windows, does anyone think there is a chance it could get ported to the Duo?
With the bootloader being able to be unlocked out of the box, side loading any other OS is technically possible. So it boils down to either super fans to build said Windows 10X boot image; or, we wait patiently and see if Microsoft is already planning on something.
I have an old lenovo K900 phone with an x86 intel atom cpu. Seeing that it's x86, i'd like to try and get windows or linux up and running. Is there any way that i can get droidboot to boot from a standard windows or linux setup USB key? If not, is there any way i can flash a proper BIOS onto this so i can get either windows or linux running on it?
the phone is currently running android 4.2.1.
woah... i tought this phone has dissapear from the univers because lack of developer and source. instead of linux or windows you can install cm12.1 [android lollipop] to this phone go to 4pda lenovo k900 that is the latest and last custom things for this phone...
to do linux or windows u need modify much things including kernel... off cource u need do it alone because no developer for this phone?... but dont know if future decide give it one hahaha
