[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Smyc151:
Yes, that's a very good point. But still, it was a legitimate answer to the question posed. But you're right that we shouldn't assume that Windows 8 will be purchasable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
Good luck on installing win8 on the transformer. My guess is that it wont be possible without heavy developer effort.

Just wait for the official win8 transformer and install android on it (dual boot):way easier i think
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
Perhaps. Tegra 3 'Kal-El' is the flagship processor for Windows 8 ARM. I think installing Windows on the Prime will be quite easy as its hardware matches what Microsoft has been demonstrating. I think the hardest thing would be getting the Keyboard Dock functioning.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bob Smith42:
Agree. Unbelievably "heavy developer effort"... add the fact that WinRT on ARM does NOT include the Win8 Desktop stack.

Consider the Microsoft developer effort to:

(1) Port Office and any(all) other applications to WinRT so it can be used on ARM - nothing Win7 nor WP7 will directly port to WinRT except maybe hello world and trivial apps. Without Office on the ARM tablet who cares.

(2) Port WinRT to the Windows Phone replacing WP7.

(3) Perform a COMPLETE UX rewrite of any required applications to Metro touch to run under WinRT on ARM.

(4) Build, support, maintain developer tools for all the above.

(5) A million other things.

Unless Microsoft has infinite resources, I do NOT think they will be competitive with Android nor Apple for years (if ever) in the mobile space. This comment usually causes Microsoft zealots much discomfort and denial.

Without Office-Touch Version on WinRT the WinRT platform will FAIL worse than WP7 is failing now. Office on Windows 7 touch is an abortion, e.g. Samsung XE700t1a with Windows 7. It is a catch-22 for Microsoft to make WinRT Office run on ARM platform because that may not generate the *required* Windows 8 Ultimate Home Premium Standard Business Suite Server license revenues. ;)

So, today, Microsoft has not seriously accomplished anything competitive in the mobile spaces. In the future, there is infinite work to accomplish any logical road map but no road map has been announced. The Windows 8 Desktop and WinRT bits from BUILD (and after) are pre-Alpha stage.

In the meantime, Android merged tablet & phone OS to version 4.0, and Apple is also busy with hundreds of million mobile phone and tablet customers.

Waiting for Microsoft to finish something is a great suggestion, but version 1.0 is a huge risk too. Maybe waiting until version 3 of the Microsoft phone and tablet? LOL
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] life64x:
Nope, everything regarding drivers must be written, kernel, sound, video, wifi, 3G if data version...one tegra 3 machine does not mean another loads. They must be done for each machine. Oh, I forgot touchscreen also. You just can't load it..it must be developed for it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
Yes. Windows 8 would most likely be an OEM-only OS. HOWEVER, The Eee Pad Transformer series will most likely have Windows 8 variants making this hell of a lot easier.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hammerfest:
Not gonna like, the metro UI and thus WP7 can go die in a fire, and I mean a REALLY DEADLY one! The blocky TILE interface, with no respect for the ability to get lost in menu's/programs... really sad... I stopped helping friends/family with their WP7 devices after the second week they got them... thankfully most are on Android / Blackberry now... my hate is for the Metro UI, not necessarily the underlying CORE for Win8 and WP7 (the only hate that surpasses that which I have for the MetroUI is the iPhone OS/Software, because the iPhone 4/4S hardware is pretty premo)

However, to give you a counter balance for my above rant, I am currently running the Windows 8 Developer Preview on my desktop, as my ABSOLUTE HATE for Metro UI, it is indeed disabled, and no, that's NOT all there is to see in the Win8DP!

Besides MetroPOS, I love the rest of what they have done with Win8, AND to that effect I WILL be looking forward to DUAL booting (if possible), BUT only if some of the main programs I use see an ARM port since there will be no x86 emulation or back porting! Else the only thing that would even mildly interest me in Dual Booting is the bragging rights to say I have a desktop/laptop OS on a tablet...

So, to sum it up!:

Love Win8

Love DualBooting

Love Android

Love Transformer Prime

Love thought of Win8/Programs running on tablet device

HATE METROPOS (er i mean UI...)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wingtytn:
i was thinking more on the line of having both android and windows 8 on the transformer with a dual boot option and when u boot up u pick ur poison
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] StuMcBill:
Further to my previous comment, I have been thinking about this, and I think if the opportunity to Dual-Boot came along, I would go for it.

Purely for a full Microsoft Office suite on the Tablet. Then I could leave my laptop at home and take my tablet only!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] life64x:
If the boot loader is locked, wishful thinking...I really am serious about a window tablet...to damn early to for any selection.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
so im a complete nub, i am buying the asus, i was wondering... how does the whole windows 8 thing work? can i just install windows 8 onto my tablet? what is my new tablet capable of? is it basically a little laptop?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
The most likely way would be installation via hooking up the Transformer to a PC and running a script with a Windows 8 image to wipe and install. Or do the same without a PC with a MicroSD or Thumb Drive with the dock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
LibreOffice is working on Android version. I much prefer it to Microsoft Office (and it's cheaper ;) ) especially with LanguageTool add-on (which corrects grammar errors for my language almost perfectly).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] StuMcBill:
I can't get my COUNTIF function to work on Libre (or Open) office for windows, never mind on Android! :D

Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Smyc151:
Yeah, but the last I heard about it, they were expecting a late 2012/early 2013 release. That's sooooo far off!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
Yeah, it is. Hopefully Google Docs will be a lot better before then...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 00Nuclear00:
But i think then you need a Touchscreen driver for Android x86.

I´ll buy it not till Asus make a Version with a simcard slot... :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
Windows 8 has built-in support for touch and will utilize its own drivers until something better is build. And it is possible to add a 3G card to existing TF101 models technically.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knoxploration:
I highly doubt anybody will legitimately get Win8 on the Prime, and even if they do, I expect a Vista-style shambolic nightmare, followed by their userbase being abandoned. Microsoft has never had a truly successful touch-based OS, and their mobile OSes have failed dismally against the competition, as well. They dominate on the desktop, but I don't see them doing the same on mobile, touch-screen devices any time soon.

Windows CE: Failure in all but embedded devices.

Windows Mobile: Failure. Smartphone market share peaked at just 12% according to Gartner in mid-2007, but that had more to do with the fact that they had no real competition than anything else. Symbian thrashed Microsoft, RIM snapped at their heels, and once iOS and Android launched, the coffin was nailed tightly shut. RIM passed MS in 2008, iOS did in 2009, and Android in 2010 (both within just two years of launch.)

Windows Phone: You guessed it: failure. (Market share peaked at a pathetic 2.7%, and has since fallen to just 1.5%.)

Given Microsoft's history of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, why would you expect otherwise for Win8?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skeptikal:
Mainly because the interface (Metro) is going to be integrated to the desktop PC. More and more people will buy touch screen PC's after Win8 is released. Once they saturate the desktop market with their "Metro" UI users will be more likely to buy phones and tablets that have the exact same interface.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
The current developer preview of Metro is pretty mediocre. However, Microsoft revealed later development stages because many people on the Build blog bashed it so much. The new Metro that Microsoft had to reveal looks very seamless and integrated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knoxploration:
Integrated... just like they integrated Windows Media Center, and how many people actually use that?

Touch isn't going to catch on with current PC tech except in specialized niches. It takes longer to reach up and touch the screen than it does to reach a few inches to one side and move your mouse, and it's harder to accurately touch exactly where you want to. Not to mention you'll spend half your day wiping the screen so you can see through all the fingerprints.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nooganator:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/02/will-windows-8-for-arm-tablets-cut-the-cord-on-desktop-mode/

Looks like desktop mode is being removed. Metro only on arm devices. Lame. I was hoping for a dual booting option so i can get rid of my netbook. the only reason why i keep that around is for adb when i need it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knoxploration:
It would have been useless anyway on ARM, because it would've relied on your being able to obtain ARM binaries for all your applications. Win8 doesn't include CPU emulation. For that matter, even the Metro binaries are ARM / x86 specific, although at least with Metro being new you've got a fair chance that an ARM build will exist, where that chance was slim to none for desktop apps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
I am on the Windows 8 developer preview and you have a choice of keeping the traditional Windows 7 start menu instead of the Windows 8 start screen.

The main difference between Windows 8 and 7 is the Start Screen AKA Metro.

Windows 8 on ARM is a fresh beginning for Microsoft. They did allow developers to easily port their applications over to ARM with the new developer tools.

Windows 8 is a great OS for touch, not just because its Windows.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The Janitor Mop:
Ultimate solution:

Get a Transformer Prime. Enjoy it for how incredible it will be out of the box. A few weeks later, update to ICS and enjoy how amazingly the TF Prime will work with ICS. I think a lot of people are forgetting that we're going to see a massive update of Android on the TF Prime within its first few weeks of existence, and that ICS will itself be a brand new version of an OS to experience. Later on, when and if Windows 8 becomes a possibility, you can try that out.

Now is the time to get a tablet if you're like me and have always held off. The Transformer Prime will be a beast with ICS, and if that amazing combination isn't enough for you, hold onto your Prime to see if you'll eventually be able to get Windows 8 on it. I totally agree that Windows 8 looks very promising, and between Ice Cream Sandwich and Windows 8, the next gen of tablets will have truly awesome OS'es to complement the great hardware coming out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Award Tour:
Even *if* Windows 8 "fails" it will still be adopted by hundreds of millions of users over desktops (touch all in ones, traditional, etc.), laptops (I speculate many with touch panels in the coming years) and tablets. A number that will easily eclipse even the iPad. The ecosystem will be strong and transition them to a more grounded Windows 9. I personally don't think it will fail anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] obelis:
the cpu is fast enough but is 1gb of ram

enough to for windows 8 to run well? I am just wonder if windows tablets will need more ram. I have windows 8 up and running on old notebook it has a core 2 duo but also has 8 gb of ram. So I am just wonder when windows 8 comes out will it run well on tablets that only have 1gb of ram.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blueman101:
Why are you assuming Windows 8 will be a success? In not bashing on Windows or anything but Vista was a flop and considering Windows recent push with Windows phones I cant see them gaining much ground (at least in the mobile division)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Exactly how I feel :) Looking forward to see you again in these forums once we have our transformers!

@topic: Windows 7 is great for Desktop PCs. I'm very happy with it. Windows 8 (Desktop) looks like its just a tuned version of Win7 with the added metro UI (that I will never use on my desktop. Theres a reason i have a windows pc and not a shiny mac...)

But here's what i think about the Tablet version: Its great to have another competitor in the Tablet market hopefully one that can actually make a good market share. Because that gives us users options and the more competition the lower drop the prices!

Will I use it though? I dont see any reason atm. From what i've seen until now there's nothing win8 can do that the Transformer Prime+Android could not. But there is lots and lots of stuff that win8 cant do but the Prime+Android can :)

Sadly the transformer will only be available in mid january in my country :(

[Galaxy S II General] khartaras:
Even though it has Exynos onboard, I don't think that you can use the same ROMs because 4G needs specific proprietary files. Roms might work but without 4G.
[Galaxy S II General] DummyPLUG:
dunno if it can use the Europe I9100 rom too
[Galaxy S II General] qbnb:
So far as I'm aware the i9100m (Canadian SGS2) and the i9100 (International SGS2) are one in the same. In fact I'm currently using a European firmware (xxKJ3 from Intratech's thread) on my i9100m; though the 'm' will disappear once you've upgraded firmwares and subsequently de-branded. Everything works perfectly!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatesCZE:
Hi there,

is there anyone who has original ROM and doesn't modified the camera settings in registry and would upload a .reg file with original camera settings? I'll really appreciate that.I've installed cooked ROM and the video quality is really poor and I don't know what to change to make it better.

P.S. Sorry for my bad english..:(

Video playback

Hello MatesCZE,

First read this;

The Definitive Video Playback Thread

It's an old thread as you'll see though it'll get you started.

Second there is the posibillity to download a stock ROM and run it virtually on your PC. Then from there you pull the original *.reg settings you desire :D

Have fun and success,

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValkyrieOneNiner:
Hello there. I recently bought an unlocked Xperia Play from Ebuyer. I then rooted it successfully. But the problem is, my phone automatically updated itself one morning, causing it to be bricked. As I have already flashed the phone before I knew how to do it, but this time when I press the power button, my phone only vibrates once and nothing else happens, and only when I keep pressing the power button it just keeps vibrating.

When the USB cable is connected to my laptop, the phone has a Green light if that is of any help to you.

Thank you in advance. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

---Another problem I seem to be experiencing is the main drivers for the phone appearing as "Flash Device" but on my main computer it was seen as Android. Sadly, my power supply for my main PC failed (Not having much luck, am I?) and I can only use this laptop. Do you possibly have drivers for my XPeria Play for Windows 7 64 bit that would see my phone as Android? Or, could it be because my phone is bricked that it's only being seen as a Flash Device.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielEGVi:
Ah... don't worry, it happened to me too not so long ago, it can be fixed. What you gotta do is relock your bootloader so it unbricks itself, while loosing root. Search here in the forums for something called Blagus Relock Bootloader Script. That green light you see there, that indicates your device is either fully charged, or it is in flash/recovery mode. Make sure to enter that mode before doing anything with it by holding the BACK buttoj (NOT the search button) while plugging in the USB cable to the phone. Search for the script I said before using fastboot or flashtool, I don't remember quite well. I'm new here so I can't give you the link, but good luck anyways! This will fix the problem, just re-unlock the bootloader again and you'll be fine. BEWARE, though, if you flash a new custom ROM after that, you will break the baseband/radio. You MUST re-flash a new, updated 2.3.4 firmware for you R800i/a/x/etc, DON'T use a generic from UK if your phone isn't from UK, and use US version if yours actually from America. I believe there's a difference but I did use first "generic" UK 2.3.3, then it bricked, relocked the bootloader, and flashed an updates firmware, totally generic, 2.3.4 that was made specifically for R800i and showed up differently than the other in flashtool. It has a new screenshot function which was pretty awesome, which wasn't my case since I was flashing CM7. Good luck!

EDIT: I usually hate doing this on forums, but since I'm new and my post does actually help I must say FIRST! I'm so happy right now :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boldeagle:
I have the same problem with my daughter's Play.

However it is originally an unlocked phone bought in Singapore. No rooting, no custom kernals, no nothing. It is original.

After installing the Firmware through PC Companion, she got the instruction to unplug the phone, remove and reinsert the battery and power up.

The Play vibrated once when the power button was pressed and then nothing....

I subsequently tried reflashing again with Flashtool but no difference. I see the .sin being flashed in but the same thing happened on power up... vibrate once and then nothing...

Any suggestions? Help?

[Member-Found Deals] sentimentGX4:
Symbian does have plenty of support. After Belle there will also be Symbian Carla and Donna. (And then dozens of unnamed OS updates after.) Apparently, Elop went on a crazy tangent when he said that Nokia was completely abandoning Symbian for Windows Phone. 2016 is a long time away and Symbian may not even get the shaft then. Its all on Accenture.

Symbian phones also tend to be supported for a much longer duration than Android phones. Flagship Android phones are frequently fortunate to get one Android update, which comes every several months. Non-flagships often shouldn't expect more than the OS they shipped in. The Nokia 5800, the first S^1 touchscreen was supported for 3 years! It had new firmware just last month. -.-

I would not recommend the N8, however, given its outdated hardware. I would never pay $300 for a 600 mhz ARM11.

I got my sisters Wildfire here and it's stuck in a bootloop.

It is NOT rooted, has no S-Off and so on.

It has the stock rom.

It didn't run fluently, so I just rebooted it. But since then it doesn't boot.

Tried taking out battery, putting it back in, no success.

Tried taking out SD-Card. no success.

Then I booted into Bootloader (Vol + Power down).

Buzz PVT Ship S-ON

HBOOT-1.01.0001

MICROP-0622

TOUCH PANEL-ATMELCO 3_16ac

RADIO-3.35.20.10

All I get to choose is Fastboot, Recovery, Clear storage and Sim-lock.

Recovery turns out to be nothing, I can't get to it. Might be, because there is no CWM on it.

I was lucky to be able to root and s-off my DHD, so I don't have any idea, how to fix this problem with the Wildfire.

[Wildfire General] l33ch0r:
Thanks, I'll do that when I'm done in University :-D

Just so I have more opportunities in case this happens again.

Could you give me a link to a instruction how to root and s-off?

This would help :)

And, just in case, which do you think is the best Custom Rom for the Wildfire?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
You can use Revolutionary to get S-OFF and Clockworkmod Recovery. Guide here:

http://joel5121.blogspot.com/2011/06/wildfire-22-root-tutorial.html

The only thing that has changed is AlphaRev's Website. The new address is revolutionary.io. Everything else remains the same. Although, you will need a booting device to get it to work.

Lastly, ROM choice depends on whether one would like to keep HTC Sense or not. If not, then I would go with Cyanogenmod / Oxygen (Two ROMs I am pretty sure are available for the DHD as well). And, if you would like to keep HTC Sense, then the current favorites are DK Custom ROM and RemPuzzleROM.

Complete Listing available in the Index Thread linked in my Sig.
