In order for you to run Android on the tablet someone would have to first port Android to the tf600, sadly at this time there are no Android ports for the tf600 available.

hi there i've got an old Fujitsu Siemens Stylistic Tablet, originally ran Windows 2000 & can handle XP (albeit slowly) .. Its got a Pentium III and 512MB Ram
was just wondering if is possible to run android on this and bring back some life to it....
any help would be appreciated ... thanks
maybe you would rather try meego or just plain linux?
i'll give MeeGo a go haven't tried that before, thanks. tried ubuntu already but it wouldn't work, supposedly an earlier version of SUSE might work but i'd prefer something a bit more modern and android if at all possible....
Your best bet would be Windows 8, try installing the developer version and see.
well windows 8 would definitely not work, we're talking about a 10 year old tablet here...

On a P3? wtf?
What do you Guys think? Is there a Way to get Windows 8 working on the Tablet?
Cheers
We have only just got root, im not sure if it is even possible as I dont see it on any of the android phones yet. However my question is, why would you want to?

Wow, Windows 8 is not even realeased yet.
You might have better luck getting the current Windows platform.
I have not heard yet of any other platforms available on the Sony "S"
Pocket Could
If you have a spare computer to install Win 8, you could connect to that with PocketCloud and try that for a taste of Windows 8 on a tablet. The developer preview didn't play nice with PocketCloud or RDC, but this new version does. Otherwise I think you might have a bit of a wait as I don't think Tegra chipsets are on Microsoft's roadmap any time soon.
Short answer: No.
Long answer:
The first problem is that this Tablet only has root. To even get a proper custom ROM environment, we would need unlocked bootloader, custom kernel and custom recovery. Even with a custom kernel, theres no guarantees on its ability to play nice with other OSes. On the other hand, Windows 8 is currently only at Consumer Preview and the only images available for download are the x86 versions, which are completely incompatible with any mobile chips. Once the ARM images are released, we might see some development, but that would still require all the kernel/bootloader changes mentioned above.
Also, the PocketCloud/VNC option isn't a great one as PocketCloud emulates a mouse, thereby removing half of the appeal of Windows 8 on a tablet.
seriously.. why win bloze?
i would be more excited to see ubuntu on sony tab...

It would be a good idea to try for ubuntu since it looks like it only needs root and busybox!
From what I've read won't be able to run Windows 8rt on my Prime, since its not open sourced.
But is it correct that I can buy a Windows 8rt tablet, like the asus tf600 and install android on it?
The reason I ask is because I have to replace my Prime anyway and would like to get the best bang for my buck.
Thanks in advance

I suppose there may be a method considering you can dual boot Windows and Linux. So I guess there IS hope but I wouldn't count on a method being developed quickly.

I wouldnt count on it until you have seen it happen.
Don't get an itchy trigger finger based on a what if
I dont think it would be possible. Microsoft locked their tablets down pretty hard. I would be surprised if you could install open software on it, without using exploits and stuff. But i'm no expert
On the other hand, why would you want Windows RT anyway? If you need office look into softmaker office for android Its really good.
You will NEVER be able to use Windows 8 (x86/x64) and Android on the same System. They are not compatible because of the hardware!
You could only use Android & Windows RT --> ARM Processors
Or Windows 8 (x86/x64) and Linux --> x86 Processors

I´m not a expert, but this is possible! I have on my wetab (x86) the android x86 version.

this is more interesting and I ´m looking how to become android (like tf300 or tf700) on my tf 600.
Yeah me too
maybe if you got one with Windows 8 Pro (like the surface Pro) you could run Bluestacks on it. That will run Android apps, just not the whole operating system.

There are Linux distros for ARM processors.
SecureBoot
Now that linux can get past SecureBoot, this seems vaguely possible. I'm no expert though.

The main issue is still that W8 is closed source software as well as paid software. It would technically be illegal

When has something being illegal stopped anyone? :highfive:
Hey guys.
I have neither Windows RT device nor Chromebook but I know that both of them are based on ARM architecture. What is more, I read from news that certain developer of Google installed Ubuntu on Chromebook to enlarge the latter's offline features.
So my question is: is it possible to make a Windows 8 RT ROM for Chromebook?
It's a big challenge but will be very useful, especially for those geeks who have Chromebook and wanna try Windows.
Don't laugh if it sounds silly.
And thank your for your joining the talk.
right now, no. Later down the road?...maybe
Apparently the BIOS is a huge problem.
I heard Ubuntu runs great on it though.
Not legally... Windows RT is only being released as an OEM-install version, which means someone would have to mess around with the files that already exist on a pre-installed RT device, drivers at the present time are unable to be compiled nor installed on Windows RT due to Microsoft's adoption of the Apple ecosystem, and the bootloader would also be an issue. But, I have seen someone get the HD2 running it, it was news like a month ago http://blog.laptopmag.com/hacker-gets-windows-rt-running-on-old-school-htc-hd2-phone , but it's horribly laggy and slow.

Thanks for the reply. Yea I agree with your point. But developers are always making the impossible things possible, aren't they?
Actually HD2 isn't the only android device that can be installed Windows RT/Windows Phone 8. I saw in other forums that ZTE Blade CDMA2000 version+ (N880E) also has similar hardware environments that enables Windows Phone rom installation. So a Windows ROM for Chromebooks is worth expecting!
Yah thats right ubuntu runs good on it.Try out once!!!
Thanks for asking this question I always wondered myself too just never brave like enough like you to ask.
I don't think it's possible to install windows on Chromebooks at all. They're not very open-sourced, sort of like Apple products. You can install Linux on it though, since Chrome OS is Linux based.

Funny how Google makes an open source smartphone OS but their OS for laptops is closed source. [emoji17]

Why not install Linux and then switch from Linux to windows? Would it work?

Dual boot
Dual boot?
is it possible to buy any chromebook and than convert to ubuntu?
i want to have a full system.
Does anyone know how to install android on this windows tablet?
Or is there a generic way to install it on windows tablets.
No one replied.. I'm thinking of getting one, came here to see if could jailbreak it..
