[Q] Windows 8 on galaxy tab 10.1? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Its quite clear now that there's is going to be an ARM version of windows 8 in the future so I was just wondering if it would it possible to ever install it on a galaxy tab 10.1?

Interesting question twisted! Let me know if you find anything…

Looks like it is possible ...

Seems to me as if that's just a launcher.
sent from my TI-83, rooted.

...
Any news about this?
Have been wondering the same thing, for a while now.

The guy's a wanker, It's a launcher because everything from the sounds, to the clicks, to the animation are all fake, probably modded LauncherPro skin or something.

it freaking says ADW at the corner..i wonder why some people put complete junk on the internet and say its something cool....
this would be awesome if it came to the tab though...

No

I'm 99.9% sure it can't be done. Even on other HTC models it's already very hard to port over, much less a different brand of phone.
hello Sir , so you can do it and send it to every one ?!

In the immortal words of dumd and dumber
" so your saying theres a chance"
what about just porting the touchwiz and the parts it needs at first then the rest of the os
I think due to the Galaxy S being an hdpi device it would be a near impossible job of porting it to our mdpi Hero. I think the nearest you'll get is a theme. I currently have a near complete framework port of all the images, scaled and re-9.png'd it looks cool but it's still not the ROM is it.
I wish I could do this for all Hero users too. I saw my coworker has bought a samsung galaxy. This device is really fantastic. Also its customized andriod system is very impressive. For instance the overview of desktops. Not like HTC, all desktops are reduced to a almost unreadable size but are aligned in one line. The menu font can be changed. The contact list looks more like iphone style. For me, the buttons in HTC sence look too bigger. This will also minus some points.
I bought my HTC hero last october. But the device has been slighly dropped to ground twice but looks optically very terrible now. And the microphone in headset does not work properly. Generally speaking the HTC qulity is not quite confident to me. Plus the attractive samsung software, I am now heavily considering to switch to samsung. (Smartphone is a great thing. I cannot help to wasting more money on it)

Well the themed framework should run on any 2.2 Froyo ROM. But to achieve the look you need to be able to change the Clock, Date, Notification text colour etc... like in CM6 or Fusion.

I tried this on top of a Sense ROM (Villain12) yesterday,.. this morning my alarm didn't sound, the jogball started going crazy, but there was nothing I could do to turn it off.
Maybe best to try on non-Sense/Vanilla ROM.

I have tried it and it does run, but there are some alignment and graphical issues. This would be due to the resolution it was meant for, Nexus and the like. This guy over here - http://forum.samdroid.net/f42/touchwiz3-launcher-spica-mdpi-screen-1615/ seems to have scaled a version down to fit mdpi devices. Not sure if it works but gonna give it a go. If so, the next cool thing would be to see if we can get some of the widgets to work with it.. ? :S

[Q] What ROM for my 10.1 Wifi?

I just got an Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi 16gb and wondering which ROM should I be using? Especially for stuff such as Hulu Plus and what not. Thanks.
There are plenty of good ones in the Development area.. I am using Galaxy Task 8 and it ROCKS!
I know there's plenty of good ones but I'm a bit lost on which one is right for me. Especially with 3.1 and 3.2 being tossed around... that's why I'm asking which one I should use.
Task650 ver 8 is the best one

It's so easy to flash a new ROM on the 10.1. Try several to see what works for you and the apps you want to run. Just be sure to do your nandroid backups and your apps with TI. If you don't like a certain ROM or it gives you problems you can be back to where you were in minutes.

The latest version I'm seeing on XDA is 7.1 for the GTab 10.1 wifi. Is there really an version 8 out there?
Edit: Nevermind I found it. Somehow I read the "8.0" in the topic title as "8.9" so that's my fault there.

[Q] Tired of the Atrix Screen?

Idk about you guys but i'm getting a little upset of finding different apps and launchers that don't fit my freaking screen...any cheeper AT&T phones anybody suggest with 480x800 screens???
i believe more and more phones these are going with the qHD (540 x 960) size. maybe you should wait a bit because that size should be supported more in the future.
Usually the apps that don't fit a qHD screen these days are the ones that have a lack of support anyways.
As far as launchers, which ones do not fit the Atrix? I have used LauncherPro, ADW, Go Launcher, Zeam, Nemus, and a few others I don't remember their names but never had a problem. Are you running a custom Rom?

You can make most of those apps fit your screen by downloading Spare Parts and toggling "compatibility mode".

+1 that will fix most of your problems. Also, where have you found a launcher that doesn't fit the screen? You must really be scraping the bottom of the market to have found those because all of the decent/popular launchers I have tried worked fine.

Try ADW ex. I'm using that right now, and works just fine. Like earlier posts, I should mention - all the popular ones seem to be working for me. Go Launcher, ADW, Launcher Pro, all seem to work fine.
The guy was just trolling, folks. Can't believe he got this many replies.lol

If your Atrix is rooted, give "Font Changer" a try. It's "free" and all you need to do is increase the "density" size. (I believe mine is on 260 for the setting)
Icons, text, and browsing IMO is much better now. Oh and one last thing yo note, if you do increase the density the "default dialer" won't work until you go back to the default size, but there are many 3rd party dialers that get the job done and work fine...

You should give twlauncher4 a try. Look for it in themes and apps atrix forum. It will give you a Samsung Touchwiz experience, like love it or leave it (my first android was a galaxy s and I really like that launcher).

[Q] Making the black status bar hide?

I'm so frustrated, ive had the prime for over a month and love 99% of it EXCEPT the fact that the black bar at the bottom is constantly there. The buttons dim, but the bar does not. 500$ for a 10.1 screen, and you cannot actually use all 10.1? Irritating! I have the galaxy nexus phone which is also on ics and while watching videos, the bar disappears, and when you touch in that area it returns. Why in the world is this like this with the prime...not the iPad? And how is there not a way to make this happen without a hack (which i don't have a clue about) and possibly screwing up the tab? An inch may not seem like much but to me it is. Why promote a 10.1 screen when you cannot use all 10.1 inches? I should feel like im watchin all videos in "widescreen" on a 10.1 inch screen!
So is there a fix for this? Ive tried every media player, none do it!

You are not able to do it stock inside of android. There's a mod over in the Xoom forum that allows you to toggle it via an installed "app." There is probably a way to port it over to the Transformer Prime (especially since the mod was for the Team EOS rom on the Xoom, and that was just announced for this device today).
This is a racist thread.

This is the link to the thread about the mod for the XOOM. Don't flash this on your device obviously. But if you can find someone else who would be able to modify for the Prime, or message the OP for that thread, then we could get it to work on here. If not, there's no way to remove the navigation bar with a simple app like we could in Honeycomb. This method requires modifying the system to stop the process for the bar and then start it again when you open the apk.

Well all you have to do is delete systemui.apk from your system apps. That'll make it hide good and long, friend. Although it also glitches out tons of other stuff. And it not only hides but deletes it...

Darn, I lost root with the .21 update
1 inch? You do have a problem.
Actually the home bar is about 8mm wide which comes out to .3 inches so you actually have 9.8 inches of viewing area.
Damn, some people complain about the smallest things.
What is the taskbar activity called?
Maybe i can write a tasker profile for it

Well, when you pay $500 for a 10.1 inch tablet and you cannot view the entire screen....it is a big deal, inch or not. The IPAD doesn't do that, my galaxy nexus's status bar hides when video is playing and all you have to do is touch at the bottom and it pops up. Not sure why I would want t "widescreen" experience on a 10.1 inch screen.
The iPad does not do that because it has a physical home button, so if you would like that feel free to buy one. If you are looking to remove it, run AOKP ROM. It allows you to use the power menu to toggle the taskbar on and off, thus allowing you to use the full screen.

To use/flash AOKP you need to be unlocked, root is not needed.

Question Should I root?

Long time Fold user, got myself a Find N today, and love it.
Except for one teeny, tiny, massive issue.
The launcher is... dreadful.
No matter. Install Nova.
No joy.
No matter. ADB. Delete...
Hmm... error.
So, stuck with Launcher from 2011.
Has anyone rooted the Find N? I assume it's *reasonably* simple and allows me to delete the default launcher. The bootloader can certainly be unlocked.
Any thoughts?
Do it! I plan to as well, although I've never rooted a phone before so it will be a new experience for me. The launcher is really holding this thing back.
How do you root? I'm planning to, but haven't found how so far
yes!! we absolutely need someone to root it
What is the big issue with the stock launcher?
It doesn't have outer/inner layouts, and it's limited to a 5x5 grid, which specially in the inner screen makes no sense at all.

Maybe I will buy this phone if root is possible. Waiting for this...
As far as i know , no one managed to get nova launcher working
Any luck trying to root, anyone?
Root possible or not ? Apps for banking work with route phone or not ?
