I saw a few Intel Z8300 Cherry Trail tablets have factory dual boot Windows 10 and Android, so I bought one.
Turns out mine isn't dual boot, but Windows 10 only (my mistake)
However, these cheap (supposedly manufactured in Germany but features a "made in china" on the back) chinese tablets all seem to have pretty much the same specs.
And Cherry Trail processor are obviously able to run dual boots of windows and Android.
Do you think it could work out flashing Cube iWork10, Chuwi, or Telcast' tablets dual boot android image on this phone?
Another possible route could be flashing Android-x86, though this processor is supposedly x64. But it runs a regular Windows 10 x86.
Does this make any sense?
I hate having Windows 10 on my tablet more and more every day lol
Someone has to have an answer.
Bumpitty, I still have no clue

I am thinking about getting the viepad 10 with the intel Atom processor and was wondering if any existing viewpad 10 owners/users have tried dual booting this instead of android. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR it is designed for netbooks, so in theory it should work just fine given there are drivers for the hardware. if this would work even with a little tweaking to get all the hardware working, it would be an exceptional tablet IMO, and an excellent substitute for honeycomb. (until it gets ported or released for the tablet)
I would post this in the viewpad 10 section but... there isn't one (yet)
Sorry to bump this topic but I have an answer to your problem. You can get the last version of Ubuntu Netbook Remix working by using this guide:

To find what other Linux Distributions work on the Viewpad 10 here is a small list (But it's growing fast!!):

Hope that helps!

Not sure about compatibility with Viewpad 10, but it might provide another option for a starting point.
The Viewpad 10 has got an Intel Atom inside so really it's just a matter of USB booting a Linux Distribution like Ubuntu 11.04.
Is this true??
Windows 8 arm on g tablet?
Maybe, maybe not. Way too early to speculate on an OS that is not even at ReleaseCandidate yet.
For perspective:
1. We are still awaiting a new OTA update
2. Honeycomb is still in question
It's true that Microsoft is working on Windows 8 to have it running on the ARM based systems.
There is however no information that Windows 8 would ever run on the Gtablet (memory, storage, additional required hardware, system design, etc....could all be issues).

IE10 in Windows 8 (ARM), running on a Tegra 2 processor.
Hope to see this happen in the future. Would love to have Windows o/s on my tablet.
Speaking of Windows running on an Android tablet, I had a cheapy ZT-180 tablet that could boot into WinCe & the specs of this tablet were no where near the G-Tabs. Has anyone tried installing that on a G-Tab?
Hi All,
I am too Confused,
I am not sure which is better : Samsung 10.1 or viewpad with two OS : android and win 7.
I am not sure how the touch works with viewsonic?
Can any one please let me know which is better overall?
The issue is, I am afraid of viewsonic in the touching screen speed, The processor speed, the screen resolution,the overall performance,the available apps,games.
The main thing that is making me thinking of viewsonic is the WIN 7 thing,Which will help me open my work application on it like the notebook,but I am afraid of the above concerns.
Can you judge on that?
Thanks,
Wael
Im not TOOOOO sure on the comparrision..but i do know GTab has Tegra 2 Dual Core...which is the best out there now. The BIG Tablets have this. So for speed..its there.
Touch Screen is Capacitive....which is very good. It just ships new with the TanNTap thing. Which sucks. But when you load one of the ROMs on it...its wayyy up there with the good Tablets. At least they say this on the net.
This probably isn't the best place to ask the question since this is gTablet forum & not a Viewpad 10 forum.
The dual boot Viewpad 10 is totally different from our gTablet. The only similarity is that they are both sold by Viewsonic. Viewpad has an Intel Atom(x86) processor (that's how it can run Win7) while the gTab has an Nvidia Tegra 2 (Arm) processor. Viewpad is running Android 2.2 X86 (android ported to run on Intel processors) while gTab is running Android native. Viewpad has 2G of DDR3 memory, gTab has 512M DDR2. Viewpad has either 16 or 32G SSD (solid state drive), gTab has a 16G emmc (embedded multimedia card).
While there may be a few users who have used a dual boot Viewpad, probably the vast majority here have not (as I have not).
I must have missed that. Thought he typed GTab. Yea..since it was a GTab thread i assumed that. Missed the Viewpad word he typed.
Thank you
Thanks for your answers. Yes, I am talking about the viewpad 10 and not the Gtab.
Do you think that no one tested it because it's not good?
Should I buy Samsung 10 or viewpad 10?
Anybody considering installing Windows 8 on their Tablet S?
it won't work.

Not me. I predict Windows 8 will experience the same level of success as did Windows 3.0, 95, Bob, ME, and Vista.
Windows 8 rt will only run on tabs that are specifically made for it.

Windows 8 will not run, because it has not been developed for ARM processors, i doubt the tegra 2 will run it smoothly.
win 95 98 xp, should run very good though

Actually it has been developed for ARM, hence why OP asked. But you're correct in that it won't run; its much like Android, each device needs a custom set of drivers and image developed for it and that only will happen for new devices with just Win8 on them. It's not like the desktop version which can be installed anywhere.
Windows 8 comes in two flavours, WinRT (which is an ARM-compatible version of Windows 8 which only includes Metro) and standard Windows 8 which is an x86-64 only image which includes legacy support. However, to run Windows 8 RT on an ARM device, it needs to be Windows certified. It then needs to run a Secure Boot (probably EFI-based) bootloader and must sign all of its boot sectors. I can be fairly confident that unless there are some pretty incredible leaps in development, we will never see Windows 8 RT on the Sony Tablet S.
Ironically, the hardware is not a problem. The Tegra 2 is an ARM processor, that conforms to all of the ARM Cortex guidelines. Our touchscreen controller is a common one and most of the other hardware (except for 3G equipment, and possibly the IR blaster) is either very common or already has device drivers that would make it theoretically possible to run Windows-style ARM images. Unfortunately, Windows 8 itself is the problem in this case.
Let's also not forget that Microsoft will only ever release Windows 8 RT pre-installed on signed-code OEM devices, making any sort of development or porting very very difficult.
Hi all,
I was doing a bit of research to find any news about Ubuntu Touch on x86 platform. But i could not find much of info
So i start this thread for those who are interested to know (Includes me) about UBUNTU Touch on x86 Platform.
Below are the list of good phones with Intel Atom processors. As Ubuntu good with Intel Processors , it should be easy to post to x86 Phones.
Please post if you have any ROM here for Intel phones.
Asus Zenphone 5 & 6 are good & affordable phones to start with.
PS: This is my post. So apologise for the brevity & mistakes
In theory it should be possible to run Ubuntu on an x86 phone as there is also an x86 emulator. I don't know of any actual ROM though.
Thanks. And is there any active development happening on x86 Ubuntu phone ?
And I assume it would be easy to build one . as Ubuntu and x86 is going along for a while now
That would be my ideal phone that can act as a desktop when docked and a phone for the rest.

I don't think that any hardware manufacturer is currently working on an x86 phone. The two phones which will be released later this year will run on the armhf architecture.
Oh, and please note that as of now it does not covert into a desktop environment yet.

Love Ihis Idea!
Yes we need development in this area, yes there are a few x86 phones out there like the Intel AZ210 being the most advertised and some others the only complaint about x86 phones is they are the gas hog of the Mobile world but hopefully the Intel M micro processor can lead us into the age of X86 phones. and i would love for some one to port ubuntu touch to one of these devices, please please please!:laugh:
May not be today but in an year or two Intel processor will be efficient (if not battery technology will improve) . so by then software should be ready to be in implemented.
To start with , does x86 Ubuntu touch build exist?
Where can I get them?
And what and all I need to port them to Asus Zenfone lineup?
And what is the status of the scalable UI? (UI that morphs into a desktop when docked)

I'm sorry to disappoint you but the UI does not converge (which is the expression they use for the scaling) yet. Currently, they are focusing on bringing the OS to a state which can be released to manufacturers (that's what they call their rtm milestone). According to Canonical and Meizu (one of the two manufacturers) we can see Ubuntu phones later this year, probably in December! During the next development cycle they will then start work on the desktop UI. The current desktop images which use Unity 8 only display the tablet UI.
What about the x86 Ubuntu touch images?
x86 is the 32 bit architecture, right? Images for an i386 emulator are already available out there. If you want to install it on your Ubuntu desktop, check out the Ubuntu wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Emulator

Never mind, forgot about droidboot instead of uefi. *sigh* we need a grub friendly drodboot.
Android kernel boots with out grub. Can we do something similar
