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.

Thanks Very much for your solution, i will try search, qemu method or chroot methode.. hope i will can do it, because i am new for it. i am not a developer, or programmer. i just want to know more about gad-get
so thanks a lot.
Is it possible in theory to boot the RAZR to a different OS altogether, like windows 8 metro? Thinking dual boot, keep MIUI on one partition and windows on another. Might be totally impossible but worth asking.
Cheers

Since Windows or IOS is closed source systems nobody can run it on any other device but a preloded device with the OS unlike Android.

Please do not start question threads in the dev section.
Is there a plan of releasing a Version for x86 cpu?
I have an older netbook where the cpu is not x64 compatible, is there maybe a way to make it work there .
Because windows is very slow on it and i can`t find the right linux disto for me.

Simple answer is no. You cannot.
As far as linux is concerned, go to sourceforge and get a slimmed down linux iso. There are so many wonderful ones, even I use it. Slimmed linux distros are very light on the system, with all useless apps removed.
There will be a 32bit version released soon.

Hi Users and Devs
im writing my test results here about dual booting and other operating Systems that i have installed them on my yoga book Windows Version and i will try to explain lot of Details about this stuff
First i will share the operating Systems and Details about what work and what not on yoga book.
Ubuntu(17.10.1), PhoenixOS(2.6.2 based on Android-x86 Nougat 7.1.1), BlissOS(10.1 based on Android-x86 Oreo 8.1.0), DeepinOS (15.5): no Sound, no halo Keyboard, no Auto rotating, no sensors, no Bluetooth, only Booting, Touch Screen, Screen brightness controling and WiFi are working
Android-x86(7.1.2), Openthos(Based on Android-x86 Lolipop 5.1): nothings at all
There might be a lot of other OSs that i might Forget to mention above, but i released why some Hardware cant work like Sound, Bluetooth,......
the main Problem is the KERNEL(the kernel is a big Collection of modules and Drivers that boot up our Hardwares as soon as we enter any Operation system), some kernels 4,9.x cant boot or wifi and touch Screen cant work, all kernels 4.12.x Support booting, touch Screen and wifi, all kernels 4.15.x Support booting, touch Screen, brightness controling and wifi
the only kernel that will make other OSs work like a charm and without any missing Drivers is buildslave kernel, this kernel came pre-load with most of Lenovo Yoga series + Yoga Book (for yoga Book Android users go to about tablet and check out it), the Problem is that i dont have a 100 GB (i will explain this later) ( in 22 mar 2018 they released the second Version of the Open Source Code for Lenovo YB1-X90F/L https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/au/en/products/TABLETS/YOGA-SERIES/YOGA-BOOK/downloads/DS118515 ) also depend on my Tests the kernel is only for Android 6.0.1, not for 7.1.1
i tried to build Android x86 from sources using Yoga Book Open Source Code from Lenovo but AOSP files are Need at least 100 GB with Additional files from Android x86 abot 20 gb, unfortunatly i dont have this big size of hard disk on my SSD
Yoga Book Android and Windows versions are 99.99% contain the same hardwares (0.01% are only the Keyboard shapes but also the halo Keyboard is the same in both) thats why it make my optimistic about running Stock yb Android Rom on Windows (Windows Version of yb used same bios as yoga Windows series, but yb Android Version use the same bios as yoga Android series does and all of yoga win and Android series based on Insyde bios)
Android yoga Book System based on Android-IA Project which is from Intel to allow Android run in Intel CPUs https://01.org/android-ia as yoga Book based on cherry Trails cpu
for Android yb users you can install Windows and other OSs on your device but you will force same Bugs above and you need to buy a licence key to get Windows updates on it (i only have yb Windows so i dont know lot of informations about this)
Windows yb BIOS contains a very basic informations and options (for example there is no UEFI and legacy option, there is also no ACPI enable;disable option, cpu overclocking......)
I believe there is a way to install Android stock in yb windows, i mean through reimagie the eMMC, for more infos, visit http://en.miui.com/thread-419845-1-1.html

MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED
i will add more informations in the future:fingers-crossed: Also i might be wrong about stuff, after all its my expermints and thoughts

What makes you believe the Android YB has an Insyde Bios? Not really, and as many tests demonstrated it not even has a proper ACPI implementation.

Windows BIOS dont support ACPI implementation, that because its hidden and it need to be edited through platform.ini editor tools (inside yb win version bios), the chipset on yb win and android (so far i know both are insyde).
after all you might be correct
correct me if i was wrong

It's quite the opposite...
Beginning with Windows Vista, the operating system supports only a computer with an ACPI-compliant BIOS
Android however does not use APM or ACPI directly for power management. Android instead has its own Linux power extension (wakelock).
That's why Lenovo uses a basic BIOS on those devices..

Aha, didnt know this before, is there is a way to install fastboot mode alongside with bios ? i mean like mi pad 2, chuwi,.....

Fastboot is a Kernel feature introduced ages ago with 2.6.29 (2009) to allow asynchronous function calls (mainly to direct probe things like SCSI or libdata port scans). Nothing to do with the Bios.
Chuwi and some Chinese manufacturers use the special Insyde H20 Bios. Which the Yoga Book is not (by intention), the EEPROM is on a totally different basis.
@THE MAXIMUM POWER What is the best possible Android for playing around on the yoga book at the moment? I know, many things dont work for now, but if i want to try, would blissrom be the best way for now?

Hey Man !
I'm not sure if you're still following this; but, I thought maybe I'd better ask if you're still keen on development of this as I'm a kernel dev and have very recently migrated to this lovely new tab. So , I thought maybe if you're still into this, maybe we could gather a team to work on I'd be happy to help with the kernel part as far as my experience beside the medical school allows me to :laugh:
Kind Regards

If the UEFI firmware can be ported for "almost" every single device that is powered by a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ SoC, and it was even successfully ported to the Broadcom BCM2711 on the Raspberry PI4 and the BCM2837B0 on the Raspberry PI3 that are not Snapdragon SoCs, then can it ported to MediaTek devices? Plus if it is possible, can someone help me port it to my MediaTek devices "Infinix X692" ? Btw I don't have a very good knowledge about porting the UEFI firmware. Thanks.
I don't think much people have actually worked on that front.

What has this to do with Windows OS this forim is dedicated to? Take note that UEFI ( formerly called BIOS ) isn't part of Windows OS.
I will figure out more on this topic. ReadyPay Online

It's technically possible to port UEFI firmware to MediaTek devices as long as the hardware is compatible and there is sufficient documentation available. However, the process of porting UEFI firmware is highly technical and requires a significant amount of expertise and resources. wordle unlimited
Without detailed technical information and documentation from MediaTek, it would be difficult to port UEFI firmware to your specific device (Infinix X692) without a lot of trial and error. Porting UEFI firmware typically requires a deep understanding of low-level hardware programming and firmware development.
If you don't have experience with porting UEFI firmware, it's not recommended to attempt the process on your own, as it could potentially damage your device. You may want to seek assistance from experienced developers or hire a professional firmware development company to help you with this task.
It's worth noting that the process of porting UEFI firmware to MediaTek devices may also be limited by legal restrictions, as some device manufacturers may not allow users to modify the firmware. You should also be aware of any potential risks associated with modifying the firmware on your device, including voiding the device's warranty or rendering it unusable.
You can give this a try, but I haven't verified it: https://www.androguider.com/2016/10/efidroid-takes-booting-to-completely.html?m=1
Apparently since mediatek uses partition tables it's similar to uefi and thus compatible.
