I was wondering if it was possible to port Ubuntu Touch to the Ace-I
It will be impossible due to 2 facts:
1. Our device is NOT Open Sourced so it will be impossible due only to that.
2. Our device has too low specs.

hey all
is it possible to install windows 7 onto a viewsonic g tablet
i have a windows 7 bootable key just unsure how to get the device to boot from it
if this is not possible and linux based os's able to be installed.
thanks
ARM based processors (which the tegra 2 is) are not supported yet (Win7).
You'll have to wait for Windows 8 for that...then we'll have to see!!
I think Viewsonic's dual boot Windows7/Android tab uses an Intel Atom processor.
so is it possible to boot from a usb key though?
Sure its possible. But I highly doubt you or anyone here is going to undertake the task of modifying windows in order to work properly the ARM processor on the Gtab

At this point no.
Win7 code is not ARM compatible. Intel & ARM based processors use different code. That's why the Viewsonic dual boot tab uses an Intel Atom instead of a Tegra.
Even when Win8 is out, somone would have to develop the dual boot capable bootloader to select between the 2 OS's.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for this to happen in the near future (if ever)!!!! By the time this is even a possibility most will have moved on to the latest/greatest device out. Can't wait for the quad-core Tegra devices which probably would be much more capable of running Win8 than the current Tegra2s.
I think that "we have a dream!!" VS is pushing away the new customers from gtablet, so after a few weeks the most developers will support someone other tablet. AND there are a lot of them!!
Windows 7 is a no go, but I was able to install WinCe on a cheapy Chinese Android tablet I previously had, not to sure if that can be done on the G-Tab.
Does anyone know if there is a way or if it is possible to dual boot the win 8 Developers preview and honeycomb 3.1? just wondering since i know win 8 is supposed to support soc.
It's an easy two-step process:
1) put the win8 dvd into your tab and press the "enter" key.
2) search the forums before you post.
Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to add/install USB HOST drivers to my phone. According to manufacturer specifications, in the "list of available features" I see "android.hardware.usb.accessory" but not "android.hardware.usb.host".
From what I learned, the difference between the two is in USB host the phone powers the bus, and in accessory, it does not.
I need this to be able to attach a hardware keyboard, and they are rarely self-powered.
My phone is a Sharp SH-01D, running 4.0.4, not rooted.
And, follow-up questions:
1. If possible, do I need root? (I am guessing yes, unless there's some installable driver, like in PCs).
2. Where do I get this driver from? Almost all newer models support this functionality (my girlfriend has the SH-10D, now upgraded to 4.1.2 but according to specifications, it had USB host even before the upgrade), so can I get it from her phone? Or is the driver processor-specific -- mine has a TI OMAP 4430, and hers has a Snapdragon MSM8960.
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 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
