[Windows 8 General] mtmerrick:
bunch of other threads that all say the same thing. this is established fact.

W8ARM will not be available to consumers, only OEMs. Porting to non W8ARM hardware will be illegal because W8ARM licences will not be transferable across devices. Porting will also be impossible because you will need to have a highly encrypted and specially signed by microsoft bootloader Since W8ARM is closed source, creating HW drivers for existing hardware from scratch will be incredibly difficult, if not impossible. Even if you were somehow able to get a W8ARM ROM created and running, it would be all sorts of violations to use it, and it would be removed from XDA before Microsoft's legal team started suing.

So no, give up hope for W8 on existing ARM devices.
[Windows 8 General] KMyers:
As stated in my past (kindle fire) thread

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 $300-$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.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] swamp goblin:
Hey guys, I have a small request for any kernel dev on the infuse..

I have an ns4g, and have been working on a sense 2.1 port, thread is here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1489851

My friend let me borrow his old infuse 4g, as I was interested in developing for it a little..

The port itself shouldn't be too hard, as the infuse and ns4g are both based on the s5pc110 board, and are pretty much the same device along with all sgs haha..

What I'm asking is, are there any kernel devs out there that would be willing to help me? I need a sense bootclasspath over a cm7 kernel for this port, and thats all I am asking for. I suck with samsung zimages, and dont trust myself building it from source since I just picked up the device..

Thanks in advance for anyone willing to help :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
LinuxBozo, Entropy and bedwa were the kernel devs we had. (sorry if I forgot any)

They still pop in once in a while. Haven't seen any lately :(

It will be harder then you think, but most of this community is cheering you on ha. Contact the people in the first list if possible, best bet would be entropy though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] swamp goblin:
Yeah I know it will be hard, but the infuse community looks like it needs some love :p I tried to get in touch with entropy, no reply.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
try it yourself. id test it. these phones are super easy to flash remotely so bad kernels arent too much of a concern.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
Linux, bedwa?

Yes, we do need some love... Lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dustinhayes93:
This would be awesome... hopefully you can get in touch
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Well he's got a new test kernel. And Samsung now has posted new source. If you brick this thing, I will applaud you. It's REALLY hard to. Especially if you have a jig. I'd try this thing if you did it.. even though I've heard what Sam Catsplat thinks about Sense... :eek:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
There's nothing I could do here - I don't even know what the hell you're asking for. Bootclasspath is userland (maybe initramfs), not kernel.

If you're doing something as aggressive as trying to shoehorn Sense onto a Samsung device, you'd better have the ability to rebuild your own kernel.

As I don't have a device, I am not doing anything but small patches. I also don't recall you ever trying to get in touch with me, but maybe I missed the PM.

Either way - you are best off doing this yourself. If you can't rebuild a kernel you have no hope of achieving a major mod such as a Sense port.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] swamp goblin:
Alright yeah I was a little confusing. To clarify, I needed the initramfs edited to conatin the sense bootclasspath. I will try to rebuild my own, I was just thinking that since this isn't even my device, and I have never done anything rom wise with it, I would try to ask the community for help.

I sent you a pm awhile ago, a few days after I posted here. I'm not very good with samsung kernels or zimages or whatever you wanna call them, which is why I asked you for help.

This was just a little project I wanted to try out, and since its not my device I didn't want to go at it alone. Sorry for asking for help.

So i guess it's already in development for the US market, but still planning for other locale's. Guess it doesn't really matter anyhow... i'm sure we'll have a much nicer version of CM9 LONG before Motorola gets around to making an effort.

[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
You serious? The majority of atrix owners don't unlock their boot loaders or know anything about custom roms, and will be on a 2 year contract with their phones. This will breathe life into a phone near the end of the contract, which is awesome
[Atrix 4G General] theonedub:
Not to mention that it helps resell value a little bit for those who will be unloading their phones. Selling a Gingerbread phone when ICS is widespread would be a much tougher sell.
[Atrix 4G General] psolovyov:
this is awesome, im stoked!!! I hope they fix the fingerprint stuff and fix the battery....get me some JUICE!!!!
[Atrix 4G General] W3BSurfer:
I agree. By the time Q3 kicks in, Quad core phones would be rolling out. Also, remember the Milestone debacle in regards to the Gingerbread roll out which was pushed further and further away. By the time it was released, the update was crap and slowed pretty much the phone down. I sold mine a few months prior to the GB update.

MOD/ROM Devs will either take another 2-4 extra months of tweaking or move on to better things. When Atrix was newly released it took around a few months for a decent ROM to come out. Another few months right after the bootloader was unlocked. Plus, it still depends on HOW MANY Devs will be producing Roms by then.

Understand also that, there are some Atrix owners that are wary of modding their phone. An average Joe wouldnt want to mess with it.

We are only but a handful of modders that are willing to take a leap of faith in phone customization. I got coworkers who own Android phones and are NOT interested in regards to roms/mods.

Currently, im in a dilemma of either switching to a Gnex or wait for the Quad. Only time will tell....;)
[Atrix 4G General] v.k:
There are some other countries in the world except USA and Canada ;) And in many of them carriers do not subsidize phones and even don't have contracts with fixed monthly payments. For example, I may pay nothing for several months if I only use wifi and accept incoming calls.

So I don't have a reason to buy something else. I think I will do it when a phone 4 cores, 2gb ram, micro sd slot, changeable battery, HDMI, NFC, LTE, unlockable bootloader appears. I don't believe this kind of phone with fully working CM7/9 will appear in Q3. Otherwise it doesn't worth buying, atrix remains one of the most powerful phones with great community support :)

[Atrix 4G General] good4y0u:
I'll be using mine until another quad core google (made by Google) phone comes out. Or if I choose to by the Asus padfone with the money I spent on my prime. I do have experience with rooting unlocking flashing etc I fully modded my backflip. So I don't agree with your average Joe statement. I just refuse to do that for this amazing piece of hardware until stable ics comes out 100% stable working everything. Which means that this ics update IS worth waiting for.JS

Many people don't updgrade just because they can. I just had to pry my wife's fingers off her Nokia E71 to get her a free Atrix last month. I am going to leave it stock and locked. While I may be using a different phone a year from now she will still have the Atrix which means I will still have access to the lapdock! :) It will be nice to have ICS..
[Atrix 4G General] mm166:
I love my Atrix and I'm happy about news.

I think I will use till it will break. I don't see any point upgrading even to Tegra 3 or whatever. For phone even Atrix hardware is overkill (for near future).

If you want get highest score in benchmarks, sure then you should upgrade phone alomst every other month...
[Atrix 4G General] sk8trix:
I gotta agree the atrix is really good even tho newer devices are better they arent that much better than its worth an upgrade.......I preffer wating until there is a quad core phone with battery life that doesn't suck.Also 1Gb of RAM is pretty much the norm now and with about 100 apps on my device im reaching that limit already.Also who cares about the cores dual core phones right now aren't really doing much unless they're on ICS which actually takes advantage of both cores and even then most apps aren't optimized for dualcore so what is the point of four cores....??? there are advantages but still its just funny why take hardware so far instead make better software to utilize what you already have look at apple they dont even have dualcore iphones yet their devices are super smooth and this is coming from me and I hate apple so much.

My main piint is atrix with ICS means that neither att or manufactures will get my money until they got something that really stands out with good hardware and good software and i know most phone are still gonna be on gingerbread probably until this years end....

I can recommend this one:

http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-Multi-Purpose-Universal-Sensation-Thunderbolt/dp/B004B8ECR4

Then you don't need to buy a new battery charger every time you buy a new phone.

I don't have that specific model being from europe - but I do have the one from the same company made for the EU market.

There's this nifty usb socket on it which works both ways. If you plug the charger in to a 110V socket it can also charge your mobile phone. And if you plug it in to your computer (or anything else with a usb-out) you can charge the battery from it.

i second this charger, it will save you from having to buy new battery chargers in the future. i used it for my lg p500, moto atrix and now galaxy nexus.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderteaser:
I know this question might have already been answered, but since the official MIUI v4 based on ICS is coming on our device on the 29th, I was wondering how's the situation about Samsung and sources so that developers could build custom ICS kernels. I can't wait to try MIUI v4, but I can't live without some advanced features such as led-notif (or BLN, where unavailable), OC/UV and LOUDER.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
No Sammy sources yet.

No custom kernels, hence.

Expect Sammy stock kernel sources about 2 to 4 weeks after ICS is officially available via KIES in the first regions.

Custom kernels about a week after that, give or take.

Is it possible for anyone to create/point me to a downloadable stock ROM? I mean literally STOCK, as in, nothing changed. I think that might be the only way for me to get back to being able to receive OTA updates without fastbooting (which I have tried to no avail).

Yeah, see...fastboot doesn't work for me - already tried it a bunch of times. For some odd reason. I mean, does someone have a stock ROOTED ROM I could flash. As in, something with all apps preserved as if the device were not rooted. That way, I can take the OTA update (and break root, but at this point I just don't want to be trapped in OS 2.3.5 forever). Thanks (again)!

on my maxx, having the same issue as you, i factory restored, i guess that might have replaced/fix any corrupt files and i was able to fastboot. Unfortunately, i speak from personal experience and not knowledge of the operating system. good luck.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Atlas.rouge:
I did a factory data reset and it did not fix the problem, sadly. Looks like I'm in a hole with no ladder out lol. I can always hope that a stock rooted ROM is available so I can use my recently-recovered root to flash and then take the OTA over that, if possible.

Question: (rather than creating new thread)

what's the different between ROM and Fastboot files? Examples?

Coz i downloaded Brazil.en fastboot, use RSD Lite, and flashed my GSM Rogers RAZR. works great.

But i also have SafeStrap installed, and I can make backup (and restore) from it. Are those ROMs? Or just backup files?

I thought people flash their phones using mod ROMs using CWM/Safestrap too?

I know OTA is over-the-air, but u can also download and manually install "OTA" updates? so... are they OTA ROM then?

or just OTA "files". like backup files CWM made?

Yeah, see for some reason fastboot doesn't like me, which is why I'm trying to get ahold of a complete stock ROM lol. I know that fastboot *works* all the time, but rather than go through the hassle I was just hoping someone had a spare total stock ROM floating around haha
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Atlas.rouge:
Tried Fastbooting again, still failed. IF ANYONE can hook me up with a working download to a full, untouched, rooted stock ROM (preinstall files included, just to be safe), I would totally appreciate it. Rather than being stuck in 2.3.5 forever (which is what it looks like I'll be doing :( unless a miracle happens)

Yup. Drop shipping. I've done it myself and you can earn a lot of money, but it's HARD work! If you're smart like me (just kidding) you can do it without using a single penny.

Another way is to start your own company. Find something your good at (web design, IT, graphics, programming, even physical stuff like sewing) and sell it online. It's slow (trust me I'm doing it right now). But once it picks up you will make good money.

Another option is writing for blogs. Sites like about.com pay up to $500/month. Not a whole lot but that + another job is pretty nice :)

Do you mean hosting and stuff? Or design? Free hosting is easy, domains are never free, and free design is normally crappy.

I don't want to start advertising for companies on the forums and have the thread closed so PM if you want some links to some good places to start.

As for blogs. Goolge's own Blogger will give you a free blog, If you like tech you can volunteer to write for techalertsupport (good way to get your name out there), YouTube is a great place to - setup a channel for reviews and the sort. I started one and it's not even overly active but once I started putting Ad's on it I actually make some decent money from it.

I would suggest trying different things and going with the one you like the best. I tried focusing on one thing from the beginning and that was a mistake. It didn't take off and I had to go start something else all from scratch. If you start a blog, YouTube Channel, and Small Company (like Design for example), you can always drop the ones that aren't making any money.

As far as a company goes I don't know what the laws are in you country, but in Canada you can start a company with no license as long as it's under you name and not a company name.

Another good place to advertise is craigslist and Kijiji. I get most of my clients from there, and it's free to use.
