I know it's possible to unlock the bootloader for the FHD 10 but how would I boot windows? I noticed people flash rooted images after they unlock bootloaders, would booting windows be the same? Would I need to create a windows image and then flash it like one would a rooted image?
Here's how to root the FHD 10 . Flashing full versions of windows 8.1 on and android x86 device seems like something no one has done yet. It will be awesome when it happens though.
Technically the hardware could support Windows 8, but I doubt we'll be seeing anyone trying to bring the OS to the ME302C. There just aren't enough developers interested in the tablet and it's not as simple as putting windows onto a new computer is.
windows on mobile devices (all versions) does not get as much support as android. and they are not open source so their hacks and mods are very few.
A $250 Win 8 tablet will draw in developers. I believe a lot of Asus Transformer Prime Devs will be interested.
As for installing windows, your right, tablet bios' are very basic.Either a bios will need to be ported or something like twrp2 could be used to make flashing a windows image manageable.
The biggest problem is getting things to work on x86, even the asus bootloader unlock was written for ARM and needs to be recompiled.
Another problem is storage. Even 32GB is not enough for Windows (not RT).
If you managed to install OS on SD, it's a different story.
Windows 8.1 has a minimum storage requirement of 16 GB. Installing programs would be best on a micro sd card. Although the fhd comes in both 16 and 32 gb. Enough to install microsoft office and some other productivity apps without a sd card.
If I install ubuntu touch on Nexus 4 and I will connect my Smartphone to Tv. Is this will look like Ubuntu Desktop or not ?
Or is Ubuntu Touch just modificated verion of android ?
Unfortunately, that's not supported yet. I hope that we'll see it soon but it will probably take some time.
Even though its base is Android, it is completely different. It's a whole new OS.
I'd suggest to try it in connection with MultiROM as I still need Android for emails etc. Therefore, dual-boot is the best solution for me.
this could help..
maybe try this out - http://makethebestof.weebly.com/how-tos/how-to-dual-boot-linux-on-nexus-7. helped me

It does support touch screen. That's how I choose it on my HP laptop. Your touch screen must not be supported yet. But I agree there should be an alternate option.
Thanks for reply...
But Are you sure? I didn't know that
I have to tablet PC and gurb2 boot menu not effective with touch screen
Since you are using windows. The windows boot manager supports touchscreen. I'm sure there info on creating entries for it to chainload grub2 from it

Yes it's with Windows 10 boot manager actually there is touch support but I really don't know how to used it instead of grub2

UEFI WBM can't load anything other than windows bootloader; so it can't chainload grub2. It does however see any /efi folder as a seperate UEFI [usb] device.

Yes. I use my touch screen on my laptop to choose either Windows or Remix.
If Windows was installed in BIOS mode, you get the Windows boot menu which is touch compatible, but if Windows was installed in UEFI mode, then the Windows boot menu can't be used to load non-Windows operating systems (thanks Microsoft) and so you get the non-touch grub boot menu. Annoying, I know, and it's the reason I ended up rebuilding my Lenovo Thinkpad Helix in BIOS mode, despite the slower boot process.

Volume keys are tricky because oem's aren't required to map them or they map them to different keys at boot
Hello, any news about a touch enabled bootloader?
Exciting thread for XPS 12 9250 owners
I've had my refurbished XPS 12 9250 since August 2016. I've not attempted any modifications, but would like to use the Google Play Store rather than the Microsoft App Store. Microsoft apps are so far behind and lacking compared to android.
Thank you @katana444 for creating this thread. Was wondering about your post here on the "Remix OS for PC" referencing android-86 rc2, and my assumption that you could run it on the 9250. Please update me on this. I see you thanked @KamaL on @idz1992 's Remix OS for PC > android x86 6.0-rc2 thread, here. Seems you would like like your boot solution here to be better.
Amazing support from members who may not own this tablet PC, so thanks to @bonez , @Milamber33, @HypoTurtle , @Maromi who all have great Remix OS xda feedback elsewhere as well. :good:
Here is an interesting article: Remix OS on Surface 3
I've been tempted to sell this tablet PC at a loss (I paid $640 for the 256GB 4k version) and move to the android Pixcel C, since I have many android apps. But I can't give this nice little tablet PC up given hopes this thread and the Remix OS thread comes up with viable alternate OS solutions (preferably dual-boot Windows/Android). Please feel free to continue this thread, create an XPS 12 9250 thread, or PM me on any successful OS installs on this tablet. :fingers-crossed:
I have tried creating a USB RAM-drive, and booting RemixOS (for PC/64) from it on my Cherry Trail (Teclast X16 Power) tablet. It gets to the screen that says "System initializing, please wait...". but never gets past that.
As mentioned, my Teclast X16 tablet is an Intel "Cherry Trail" (Z8700) dual-boot device, that can boot into either Android 5.1 or Windows10. Unfortunately the Android build that comes with it is not very good. (IE: Though the tablet has a GPS sensor, it doesn't work in Android. There are also a few other oddities about the Teclast Android build.)
It is possible that RemixOS is trying to make use of the Android data partition that is on the tablet's internal SSD (instead of using the USB RAM-Drive that RemixOS is on), and being that it already has data on it from the Android OS that came installed on the tablet, maybe it causes problems during boot.
I wanted to just try out RemixOS on this device. A few of the things that I really want to know is...
- Will the tablet touch screen work with RemixOS, or would I have to always use a mouse & keyboard?
- Will the GPS sensor work with RemixOS?
I was also looking to see if there was a way that I could boot RemixOS (for PC) in a VirtualBox VM, but I have not had any success getting that to work. Has anyone been able to run it in a VM successfully?
Hey mediawiz any luck with that?
I just got my hands on a Pipo W1S (x5 z8300 Cherry Trail) and tried a couple of times to boot up Remix OS from a thumb drive with no luck so far.
RCA Cambio Model w101 V2
I managed to get it Installed to a hard drive partition, I had all kinds of issues with that but I've had issues with the 32bit efi on most linux distros. The boot up is still a bit buggy.
I copied the USB to the hard drive after installing to the USB the live ISO. I booted the partition through the bios (might have changed some grub option to get it to boot). I then changed the Grub option to load the install. I installed to the same drive and left it NTFS made a 3gb data.img. After messing around with the file system and grub, I got that booting. Install/updates apps but not the system update, that hangs at 20%.
I've had nothing but problems with this 32bit EFI/64bit systems. I'm trying to get some Linux running fairly nice so I can remove Win 10 , I don't see that happening
I've had luck with Ubuntu Zesty Linuxium build but only to the point of it being a Laptop.
On Remix the screen stays in Portrait and it don't fill the screen, its centered. No Bluetooth, No sound but I did see a link here for possible fix for that. No touch Screen. No battery ready, stays at 100%.
On the plus side the Docking keyboard works and wifi.
It looks like a nice GUI, its the first time I've looked at it.
I assume I'm missing a lot Kernel modules and firmware? Most of what I read looks like old info on these X86 Tablets. Is there anything new to help set them up, what works on them and what don't? I'd like to start with display and sound. Move to touch. Mostly all I care about and a working battery meter.
Thanks PS still boots Windows 10

I managed to boot 32 bit legacy install on a baytrail 2-in-1 tablet with intel atom z37355 ( Notion Ink Cain 10) alongside windows 10. Though the processor supports x64 as it says, the installation always failed, but 32 bit installation succeeded ( to my surprise). I booted up with fully functional touchscreen, wifi, detachable keyboard,wireless usb mouse etc.
Bugs:
No autorotate ( a third party seems to allow me to manually rotate though).
Power and volume hardware buttons dont work ( no volume either).
System seems to freeze if left alone after a while ( however, playstore downloads that were stuck are resumable after force shutdown are start).
Battery indicator stuck at 100% ( am trying to calibrate using some random battery app, but i really doubt it would work)
I'm gonna install kernel aduitor and check if the system freeze after a while can be fixed ( some guy said changing kernel governer to interactive would fix it) later.
All above bugs are known i guess. Just putting it in here so someone with baytrail tablet googles it can see it in one place
