Hi peeps,
I've just bought the ACER W500 Tablet and was wondering if there has been any development in regards to porting Android Honeycomb an a possible dual-boot betwee the two operating systems?
Any help with some hacks would appreciated, thanks in advance

So what if it runs arm? You can work around and get it working in x86 too.
The way to install a Android distribution is easy, I think. First of all, you would need an USB - CD/DVD Drive. I recommend you to try installing it with virtual box first. If this works, then you can try installing it to the device it-self. I don't know how this would work but it's likely that you can't longer boot in Windows.
I'm sure it can be done, even with dual-booting but I don't own the device to help you.
Here is the Android Honeycomb 3.2 x86 image. http://code.google.com/p/android-x86/downloads/detail?name=android-x86-3.2-RC1-tegav2.iso

Moving to Q&A
just got one myself. any luck installing android on a dual boot?
I have gotten the Android Honeycomb X86 installed and running on here with 2 semi major drawbacks... No touch screen (mouse input only) and no sound... On a side note... Ubuntu runs great on it..

Don't have much development skills, starting to teach myself from scratch.
I want to port Ubuntu to the gtablet and I was just wondering if anyone thinks it is possible.
Since android is based on linux kernel i dont think it would be too hard.
Just wondering what your thoughts were on this.
Thanks for you time.
Search the forum... there is a BT5 build and an Ubuntu build in progress. I suggest starting there to see what they have accomplished.

:Editted for spelling:
FYI:
Both the Backtrack 5 and Ubuntu builds are .img files mounted as loopback devices. They are run "on top of" the android OS. You then use VNC veiwer to access them. These are both good steps, but aren't exactly running directly from boot up as a primary OS.
Before I get flamed, I'm not knocking either build, just pointing out that they are not replacements for the android OS just yet.
Crow, anyone?
Looks like I stand corrected....
This thread has the details.

Hello guys, before the question, i am sorry if i am little english. i look some website that running Ubuntu on Android Device.
I am sorry i am new user in this site, so i can't using outside links in this posting, but you will find if you search on google about this.
i have some question about this case:
1. i am using Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 4.0 a.k.a Samsung YP-G1CW/XSE what ubuntu can running on my device?
2. How with OS Windows? what windows can running on my Device? Windows XP may be, or Windows 7..
Please Help me, i need to running other OS on my Android Device.. Thank's Before for your answer
There are two ways to run another OS on your device: chroot and qemu. You can run Ubuntu (or any Linux distribution that supports ARM processors) with little effort using the chroot method. Look up "Ubuntu installer free" in the store and it will walk you through. It may not work on the stock kernel, so make sure you have the kernel from these forums that fits your device.
The only way to run an OS like Windows is by virtualization through qemu, because it doesn't natively support the chip in your Galaxy S Wifi. This method requires a version of qemu compiled for ARM and additional libraries, which I have not gotten to work successfully on this device. (Anyone else?)
So I'd suggest just trying to get Ubuntu running. It won't be very fast or easy to use on a device that small, but it will work.

i've buy an Ramos tablet lately. It's the WD30HD model, and as onlne review, it support Android Jellybean 4.1.2 and Ubuntu 12.0. This tablet starts with Android ICS 4.0.4, but it has some bugs. My question is about the possibility to install Ubuntu on it, there is some guide helpfully for me? Today i try to became root, on it, because i think this is the mandatory first step, but what is the following?

Hello Everybody,
Many of you must be familiar with Ubuntu Mobile, Ubuntu's latest project in the field of mobiles. Now the question is- Is Ubuntu supported on HTC HD2?
The Answer to the question is- Yes. As explained in the Linked video(See Below) by UBUNTU Co-founder, Ubuntu works on all the devices which can run Android. If you're not sure what I am saying, please see the video, seek it to 20:49 if you don't want to watch the whole video. It is based on Android Kernel only.
See the video here- http://youtu.be/cpWHJDLsqTU

I am here with a new challenge, and that is the Porting Of Ubuntu Mobile. I hope you all are ready for it! :good:
I will be waiting for a Native SD Release!
Many of you might be thinking what is this thing doing in Android Section, the answer to your question is as its kernel is same with that of Ubuntu, you guys have the best chances of porting Ubuntu Mobile into HD2.
Your help will be appreciated.

Even though it might use the android kernel it belongs in ubuntu section.
P.s. The android kernel and ubuntu kernel are built from the same source anyway
曾经尝试过Ubuntu核心，非常好，十分期待Ubuntu的SD ROM
Native SD 个人感觉好像是掩耳盗铃
Is there any developer working on ubunto mobile for hd2?

Hello!!
I have an onda tablet v989...hardware wise is a really powerfull machine. So what i wat to do is :
Install linux preferably Debian, but any distro is ok.
Native would be the best option so it can acces and use all the hardware.
Or via Linux deply using frambuffer.
I have installed debia in my oneplus one smartphone with linux deploy. And with vnc is rather slugish. Via XServer SDL it runs more smooth. But i have read that framebuffer is the fastest way in terms of performance. i have even read that framebuffer will get 3d acceleration and stuff. but i could be wrong.
Because i want to use this tablet as my working unit. But i need to have a working linx distro that runs well enough to do all my daily work on it.
I have spend 3 weeks to try to get it to work. and read a lot and so on on my own, but now i need help.
Has anyone sucessfully run linux in an onda tablet?
Any help about how to acomplish this will be really appreciatet.
I thinks this will help a lot of people that want to have a tablet and be able to tun linux and do their everyday work on it.
specially if you travel a lot.
thanks everyone in advance.
Hey,
I'm very interested about your project, did you progress ?

Hi Guys, has anyone succeed to install linux on it ? my Onda V989 has good hardware but its almost not usable due to 4.4 Android.
