[Windows 8 General] KMyers:
Hello,

This post actually made me laugh a bit, the first question is why would anyone want to port Windows to the Fire, there are many better Operating Systems that will work just fine on the Fire if ported (Ubuntu/Debian).

Your first challenge will be the legal one, Microsoft is well known for employing a never ending batch of bloodthirsty lawyers to sue the pants off of anyone who infringes on them. Of course this can be avoided if you simply post "instructions to install your own copy of windows 8 on the kindle fire".

Your next one will be Drivers, well these can be reverse engineered and built if you are skilled enough.

Followed by Storage. I would assume the ARM version of Windows would use around 4-6 GB of Space. Is 2 GB enough to store your music and 3rd party apps?

Next is the Processor, I would hope that Windows 8 tablets use a Quad Core (Tegra3 for example) rather then the Dual Core of the Fire. Not a deal breaker but OUCH.

RAM is not a concern here. The ARM Chipset is a bit more efficient, thats without saying that 2-4 GB would not hurt.

Finally, the bios will be the final hurdle. Windows 8 will require a secured uEFI (Locked/Encrypted bios). This is HARDWARE, you would need to open your kindle and solder one in (its not that easy). Microsoft has already openly stated that this will be a REQUIREMENT on the ARM Chipset and optional on x86/x64.

Here is my advice, WAIT about a year after Windows 8 comes out... Just like Android, the market will eventually get flooded with cheap (and I do not mean inexpensive) Windows 8 tablets. They should retail between $400-$1XXX. Its not $200 like the fire, but those MS License Fees can hurt.

Now, You may have noticed, I did not say it was impossible to RUN Windows 8 on the Kindle Fire, just not as the primary OS. If I was forced into it, I would run QEMU (There are Android Ports), Install Windows 8 in the VM and RDP into the VM. I will warn you it will be VERY Slow and most likely unusable.
[Windows 8 General] Dam4rusxp:
Aside from all the barriers I'm certain, we will have a working HD2 port :D.
[Windows 8 General] KMyers:
Not without the uEFI
[Windows 8 General] Coke Guy:
from what I have read I am under the impression that the uefi requirement is one for manufactures and not a technical one.

and even if it is. never say never
[Windows 8 General] skategeezer:
Does the fire hardware have UEFI? Of not there is way to get the arm version of win8 to load.
[Windows 8 General] AdrienC:
Oh my, I hate a discussion where impressions, and not facts are being debated.

XDA is not UFC. This is a place for gentleman's.

Let's not think in the future and look on what we have now.

We already have Windows Phone 7 released, right?

What we have here?

Windows Phone 7 is designed to run on ARM;

The only alien device on WP7 environment, is HD2 where the hardware is almost the same as HD7, and even though, it was not a simple task.

So...

It would not be a lack of demand. I myself would love to be able to boot on WP7 on my Galaxy Nexus, Kindle Fire or other phones. Many others would love to be able to do that too, but...
[Windows 8 General] Joey11746:
Anyone planning to do this or not? Because I would love to be one of those peeps running WP7 on a KF. <3
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
as with may things on this site now a days, too many Indians and not enough chiefs

many of the great developers on here came from nothing, they poked around and did what they could, I see the HD2 was brought up earlier, well Yuki came from nowhere, learned and developed from scratch along with xbmod that chap was a regular everyday user like most of us

perhaps one of the people asking for this to happen could very well become the next Yuki, we're not all great people who can write code etc, but you can use the internet, you can use google, try and find out the technical challenges and what is and isn't possible,

if everyone assumes someone else should do it then nothing will be achieved, if it is even achievable in the first place ;)
[Windows 8 General] Joey11746:
No Windows 8 devs rite, This is a tablet so I think it should have W8. I'll stop bumping when I get a real dev.
[Windows 8 General] JihadSquad:
Then you won't get one. Plain and simply, the OS will not run on non-certified hardware because it is so locked down. It is comparable in difficulty to porting iOS, for example.
[Windows 8 General] shreshth89:
well folks I would like to tell u I had already ported win8 to several tablets of Toshiba and asus I m not surely remembering which of them where arm based but I am sure some of them where running with only 10gb memory and 512ram

the only complication while porting may arise that u can't install a secure boot on them.

secondly this porting is completely legit until and unless u bypass the licensing, as Microsoft as already released the developers preview and RTM so u can use any of the copies for further customization

and hell if some uses any stuff for piracy like WAT and all it is his responsibility not developers

and as per my knowledge WINDOWS 8 RT version is for ARM based devices
[Windows 8 General] netham45:
You didn't port windows rt to anything. Its both almost 16 gb, and not something you just do without realizing it.

And, just to note, windows rt will not run amd64 apps, it will only run arm apps. There is a fair bit of progress towards getting it to run unsigned desktop apps, bit nothing successful so far, and even then they will have to be specially compiled.
[Windows 8 General] JihadSquad:
I think he misunderstood the topic and he thinks he "ported" it to some x86 tablets by installing it on them...
[Windows 8 General] netham45:
True, I didn't think of that. If so, sorry for being harsh.
[Windows 8 General] The Archangel:
ill do you one better this....LOCKED

ALSO here's some advice about xda.

just because you want something on your phone/tablet/ereader doesnt mean you're going to get it! Especially by doing what you just did. If a dev wants to do it,he'll do it WHEN HE WANTS IT DONE,not when you demand it,ok? Our dev dont owe you anything,you should be lucky that they work on your device an provide you with the opportunity to use what they make. i know a few devs that refuse to release their work publicly because of people like you on xda.

This place was founded by developers for developers,not for greedy people to come on here an demand to get stuff. The faster you understand an learn that,the better off on xda you will be. Now im going to lock this thread an i will be watching this section closely an will be monitoring your account just encase you try this stunt again

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barrist:
So I've done some searching and apparently on SGS2, the Move To SD option in Manage Applications *should* move apps to your external SD in the .androidsecure directory.

However, it doesn't seem to do that for me, it moves it to the .androidsecure directory of my INTERNAL sd.

I'm running MIUI, with Void.echo kernel.

In App 2 SD, it notes at the bottom "External storage status: shared"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannibal226:
Maybe u have luck and u got an answer but I think u will got an better and faster answer in MIUI thread ;)

It can be that it is a change or fold from it, so that maybe only MIUI users can help u.

CHEERS
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
That's how it always worked. Im sure there's an app in the market that will move it to an external sdcard.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzmtl:
I agree with OP there's something weird about how the move to sd works. In reality it moves the app to internal SD, however it also put some info on those apps in the .android_secure folder in your external SD. And if you remove the external SD those app stop working, even though they reside in the internal SD and shouldn't be affected by removal of external SD.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barrist:
Actually my "Move to SD" doesn't even create the .android_secure folder on external SD. It creates it on the internal SD.

It should create it on the external SD, where you can see the files when mounted on your PC. (they are hidden when you try to find them from within your phone).

So I think in your case, the apps ARE being moved to the external SD just in a weird way (that's why they don't work when you remove the card).

In my case, it's not functioning that way at all; nothing is being moved to the external sd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wstahlm80:
Is there a way to change the colors ICS assigns to calendars?

I am syncing several corporate calendars on one account and a couple personal calendars on another account. None of the calendars display the same color which has been chosen for it under the web interface (i.e. one calendar displays as blue online while it is grey on my Nexus). There does not appear to be any way to change a calendar's assigned color within the ICS app.

I am either missing something or this is a pretty large oversight on Google's behalf. I was expecting a tighter integration between Android and Google Apps. It is pretty disappointing that I could at least reassign colors on my Blackberry's but not Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] texiandave:
Assign the colors in Gmail from a PC and the app will sync to the same colors. Not an ICS issue, has been this way for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wstahlm80:
That is the issue. I have assigned colors in Gmail but they do not sync on the Nexus. Greens are Blue, Reds are Grey.....etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yelserp87:
Did you ever fix this? Having the same issue.

edit: http://snoep.it/android-ics-and-exchange-calendar-colors/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wstahlm80:
Yes I did. It appears that the issue was due to using the "old" theme instead of the new google themw. Which is a dissappointment since the calendar colors in the old theme were better than the bright shades in the new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yelserp87:
I have the new calendar theme but I am getting the old calendar colors :/ Dull and dark colors.

every once and a while when i go to unlock my infuse, my screen is messed up.

it looks like normal but everything is 1 color a lot of the times blue.

strangely my last one did this as well.

any ideas what causes this ? thanks

(if i lock my phone, then unlock it, it goes back to normal when this happens)

Never knew what color id get...red, green, blue, yellow, pink, purple....seen them all....bur now im on zeus and havent seen it yet
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
idk..I'm wondering if this is the rainbow effect encountered when you are running a gb (2.3) based rom without the GB bootloaders.

possible solution: flash gb bl from dani's post. flash to a stock gb leak before flashing a custom rom - uckj4 or above should have bl included

I've had the gb bl from at&T's leak ever since it came out. It's not it.

Fwiw,

I went from stock > s7 (port) > gsinfuse (port) > galnet miui ics (port) > zeus with a few odins after s7 and one right before zeus....never heard about bls until these past weeks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The_Zodiac:
its weird that a lot of us are having this problem, but it hadnt really been brought to attention yet
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
fwiw,

I have tried stock leaks, victory, darky's, gsinfuse, numas, caty, bionix, and zeus...couldn't remember a few more.

I've soft bricked and boot looped a few times.

I heimdalled back to uckj4 stock and go from there.

I've not seen the colors that you have mentioned.

I've not use miui.

I usually try to wipe everything and factory reset a few times as well.

I don't usually back up any roms, kernels or nandroids.

I have backed up some apps with tibu..but restore only the app..not the data.

idk but i suspect the colors you see may be related to "unclean" flash on top of old ones or bl issue...but that is just my 2 cents...

If when you do flash a new rom, consider wiping everything and heimdall or odin a later leak before going to a new rom.

This has happened to me even on stock 2.2 when I first got the phone. Its not critical. Because as mentioned, all you have to do is hit the power button to shut the screen off. When it comes back on its fine. But it is really strange..

Yep, I've seen it too. I just flip the screen off and on again. Not a big issue I guess, just kinda amusing.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
I freaking love this.. sometimes it happens 5 times in a row. I tried taking a screenshot once when it was this BA looking black and red but it came out normal.. so I was look whatever. It's not a big deal and it doesn't happen that often. Tried almost every rom other there, and I'm pretty sure that it has happened on every one.. atleast once.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I have noticed this happen on 2.3.6 based ROMs. Our devs are already looking into this. They'll update us whenever they have any update.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] goobieracing:
Yeah it nvr lasts longer then that. That's was my first instinct to turn it off and on and it always goes away. So i have never tried to unlock the phone to see how long it stays like that. Yeah i never posted anything or cared to look up anything because it only happens once and a great while and always goes right away.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mikig_mkd:
Me too. But its not a big deal. Just lock it and then unlock it and it goes back to normal.

It's not a bootloader problem. I know what he's talking about. It's not a rainbow or anything. It's weird... happens on almost all the roms I've been on. I don't think that I have seen it on zeus.

Okay i am getting ready to buy a GSM Penta Band Galaxy Nexus but I want to know how widespread is the Multi-Touch issue is. Also want to know if its just a software bug on Google side or is it on the App developers side. From the looks of it, its not a hardware issue but having had issues with my nexus one that tired out to be a hardware issue i dont want to buy it and find out it is actually a hardware issue. Yeah i know multi-touch works everywhere else but accept for some games but you never know. I have been looking for an answer on the web but no one seems to be talking about this anymore. I dont want to buy the phone until i find out if this is fixable and if someone is actually working on fix for the issue. I havent heard anything from Google or developers on this.

Sadly i think it will nothing come that way.... :(. But it's worth a try and when we don't try it we never find out if it can work! ;) So do it ;)

I'have also posted a message for what it is worth.

I don't think they will bother (they even seem to commercially deny the decice even exists). The hardware itself might have bugs and quality issues, but it is quite capable running newer software (new tablets are now coming out with the same or even slower processor).

The stock firmware is actually quite bad compared to the 2.3 i'm using right now, but i will only upgrade to ics if all hardware drivers work.

that's what i have post:

Why would you update the tablets AT200 and AT300 and maybe AT100 too android 4.1 and not folio 100? People who have buy a folio 100 are abandoned from the purchase. Why you don't give this device an update to android 3, 4 or 4.1 ??
