Hi XDA. i have on my laptop as secondary os Mac OS X (Hackintosh)
Is something similar possible on phone? It will be nice to run iOS on android phone as secondary os.
I dont mean theme, but full system.
If not, can be it possible in future, or it is really inpossible to port?
No.
Maybe one day...

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!
No one interested in porting Windows Phone 7.x to the Dell Streak?
Trigger for me is the perfect working port on the HTC HD2, where both Android and Windows Phone 7.x are running. On this phone the Windows Phone version realy runs smoothly, far more better than the Android version.
My conclusion would be that since Android run smoothly on the Dell Streak, Windows Phone should really fly on our device!
So, is it (im)possible?

it is not that we dont want to port.. but the thing is no working driver for streak 5... so... you have to understand this...
Well, was worth to try. Just couldn't imagine the impossibility since the HTC HD2 is able to run both. But the lack of working drivers is indeed a valid point. Well, I'm happy with my DSC 1.4 on my streak, so sticking on this version.

I like your post! I was a die-hard "win-mo" every since my first htc tilt. But when the tilt-2 whipped my รคลก$ after 3 replacements I swore off and went to "Stepford Mens Association" and was cloned into an android and loved it every since! Never in a million megabytes had one decimal of interest in crapple phonage. But would like to see your idea in action. Cool !

you cant compare device that come from default windows vs native android you know... there also licensing issues might surface up whenever we involve ourselves in windows product you know.. that includes the driver.. you know those giant really have no mercy if it does not profits them :silly:
Hahahahaha......when you post the rom then microsoft will send you a legal letter.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
Licenses are the least of the issue, it's all drivers.
The HD2 and the tsunagi are the only non WP7 devices to get WP7, do you want to know why? Because microsoft and HTC/Toshiba made the drivers as those were the devices they used when they were initially building WP7.
The HD7 is basically a HD2+WP7, but they're different enough that the HD2's cam still has issues (or so I hear).
The only (realistic) way you're going to get WP7 at this point is to build a time machine and go back and convince dell to convince MS to reuse the S5 as a WP7 device in the same way the venue/venue pro are a pair.
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?

How ? Vm? What r u talkin about
that would be wonderful . but no
Dual boot
Dual boot?
is it possible to buy any chromebook and than convert to ubuntu?
i want to have a full system.
Hey XDA! This is my first post so bear with me...
Recently Acer announced their new Tegra K1 Chromebook and I have to say it's pretty intriguing. I really want to buy one, my only problem being Chrome OS. Don't get me wrong, I love it, it's just not robust enough for me. I want to really make use of the K1 by playing more high end games like ones for Android that are more optimized for it. Touchscreen not being a huge issue here. I'd use a PS3 controller of course. Plus with all the apps already developed for the Droid platform it makes a lot more sense than web based Chrome OS.
So, question time.....
Do you think it would be possible to install KitKat or maybe even Android L Beta on a system like this? I have researched it a little and the Tegra uses ARMv7 architecture. I don't know a whole lot about what that means, but as far as I understand it's 64-bit not 32. Does that mean I would have to use a special KitKat OS on this? Also how in the world would I go about doing this? I have successfully installed Ubuntu (I think 12.04) on an older Samsung Chromebook which dual boots both Ubuntu and Chrome OS; however, I am not sure that the steps involved would be the same. Seeing as how this is a fairly new device, Google is of no help whatsoever....
EXTRA, EXTRA!
Would it be possible to make Android the default OS so it auto boots without going to the OS verification screen?
Thanks for reading! Really hope I can get some answers, looking forward to doing some "real" gaming on the cheap!
So, I just heard about Remix today. It sounds very interesting and is something I'd love to set up on a PC for my daughter. I'm leaning towards Remix as it's android based and is what she knows very well. My main question is whether Remix OS is a true stand alone OS, or does it have to be installed on a Windows box? I have an old Dell Dimension 510 that I wanted to set up with this on a SSD drive. Is this possible?
Thanks for any and all help!

You can install it as sole os but I highly recommend installing windows windows, as it is easier to maintain using windows. You can set the dual boot to automatically boot Remix OS after say 5 seconds so to your daughter it will be seamless boot

Remix OS is indeed a 'true stand alone OS' so you can install it like you would any other OS on any PC. It'll be super speedy on the Dell with an SSD.
Unless your daughter uses specialized software which runs only on Windows, you wouldn't need Windows on the system.
