[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] santomarco:
thanks!!

But I will remain with no-root device (and I hope that ICS will came before september!!!)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] leodfs:
I do recommend that to you too. If you can live without root, don't do it.

But if you are curious, root will do you any harm by itself. It only put a binary called su on your system and set permissions.Almost every linux box already has it and its purpose is to change the current user to another, for example, the root AKA administrator. Normally it asks for a password, but the one we use, does not, for simplicity.

So actually, when you do "the root", you are only putting one tool of linux, that was ripped from us, back. That tool does no hacking or modify your system, it only allows you to be the user root that already exists on your system.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] santomarco:
Thanks !

I know what is root, but I read also that can give me problem with the next os update !!

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
So, one of the ICS features I was anxious to try was face unlock. However, upon venturing into Settings -> Security, I found no such lockscreen option. Fine, I can deal with that. But, when I was scrolling through the list of available apps, I saw one called "Face Unlock". What's the deal? Does this tablet have face unlock or not? The listed app is only a few KB, so I assume it's non-functional, but why's it there? Could this be related to the Transformer Prime update that was supposed to have face unlock but didn't? Can we expect to get face unlock eventually?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luciano.chavez:
I was actually curious about this myself. The front facing camera on the TF300T is actually fairly decent even in low light so I would turn on the feature just so my kids don't mess with my TF300T when I leave it on my desk. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hki_peter:
I have try restore Samsung ROM 4.0.2 on my galaxy nexus (using cwm restore function), and get OTA update, but can not boot the phone, it stop on cwm, it is because my phone is root, do I need unlock my phone before processes OTA update ?

and I done some modification on my phone e.g. dpi = 240, it will cause problem on OTA update ?

every Google OTA it is working on same way ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
All the images need to be stock...

Including your recovery/bootloader/radios for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
This. You'll need to flash the correct (stock) bootloader, recovery, and radio images before you can install any OTA updates. You can get them as a part of the Factory Image here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Changing any file on /system will cause the update to fail. To change your dpi, you needed to modify your build.prop file, so that will cause the OTA to fail. You need to replace your build.prop file (and any other files you changed) with a stock one.

Locked or unlocked makes no difference for OTAs.

Root or no root makes no difference for OTAs.

As for the radio and the kernel, it depends on the update: if the update patches either, then it will fail if you don't have the right kernel or radio. As Jubakuba and codesplice said, you will be safe for all OTAs if they are stock.

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

Unfortunately, older factory images are no longer available there, so he will not be able to get them from that source.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
It sounded (to me) like the OP was only flashing 4.0.2 as a means of receiving an OTA update to a more recent release. If he were to simply install a 4.0.4 factory image, he would be good to go - and capable of receiving the next OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Sorry, I guess I misunderstood your post. I thought you were saying to get the stock images from that page so that he could complete his OTA update.

As long as you are using a non-Samsung ROM/kernel, the wiimote should pair just fine. You will have to download an IME app for it from the market though. I can't remember what the app was that I used. Search for wiimote and that should get you what you need.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevethegreat:
Last I checked it lacks Hardware acceleration though so beware. If you are to try to play any video that is 480p or higher it probably won't play.

For example if you try to show the videos you just took with your phone in the big screen (like I had tried) it won't work, so you can say it's a bit crippled version of TV-out. If you want true TV-out you have to try Froyo derived roms ... sadly.

[Windows 8 General] IHATEHIPSTERS:
Is it possible? I'd like to have it on my galaxy tab 7.7
[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
I'm sure it would be possible.. For Microsoft.

Windows is a closed source operating system, meaning there can never be a direct port to your device. The closest someone could do is perhaps a bootloader that would allow it to run but you would still have other problems like drivers.

Not to mention the required boot security features that Windows 8 is rumored to have on the ARM version.
[Windows 8 General] Eun-Hjzjined:
Remember Microsoft said that windows 7 would not ever have a successful license hack. that happened and quite quickly at that. Give it time and the devs, specifically the black hatters, will get the security opened and then we'll have some very interesting ports.
[Windows 8 General] IHATEHIPSTERS:
Awesome!
[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
I understand that but a license hack is a whole different monster. This is taking an operating system that theoretically doesn't support the OP's device and making it work. Even if it can be made to boot, we'd still need input drivers, display drivers for it's GPU, etc.

Maybe possible if the ARM version uses a WinCE style BSP, but that's speculation I suppose.
[Windows 8 General] Eun-Hjzjined:
I suppose that they will use something similar to what they use on wp7 devices. And in that case we could see derivatives of those drivers running under arm-win8
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
your biggest problem is drivers, assuming you get around the security and get it installed, you will need drivers, and traditionally, OEM built devices don't always have openly available drivers to every platform Esp, ARM devices

you would need to hope that Win RT uses some of the same hardware on its own devices, enabling us to take the drivers from those devices and install them on your own ex android device.

and given that Win RT isn't a user installable OS your looking at having to build images with the drivers available, flash it, and hope that it works!

to be honest, I wouldn't hold my breath.
[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
Well, that is how WinCE/Embedded works and look how well it can be "ported" (if that can be said as the right word for this.) around.

A small hypothetical situation:

Someone hacks out drivers for the Galaxy Tab's components and just happens to release a version compatible with WinRT-ARM, That's fine. Someone with the WinRT Platform Builder creates an image targeting the Galaxy Tab, even better. But the problem would be getting the Galaxy Tab to actually boot something that isn't recognized by the device's inbuilt bootloader (Theoretically this could be bypassed like the Android phones that can dual-boot WM7). Only then, after you get a bootloader to actually bootstrap and start the image created will you be able to run "Windows 8 for ARM" on a Galaxy Tab.

The above situation is the only, only possible way you'd be able to get it to work. ;)

Also, It seems even then it wouldn't work

[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
The OP wants to install Windows 8 on his tablet, not a custom launcher. Although if you want the metro experience, a Launcher like Launcher7 or such would probably be the best choice.
[Windows 8 General] Rakeesh_j:
Microsoft stopped calling it WOA a while back, they now call it WinRT.

And EFI (or UEFI to be precise) doesn't imply boot signature checking, rather it is a next generation bootstrap that replaces the long dated PC BIOS with many improvements. My current PC does an EFI boot, and there is no signature checking involved.

Rather, in order to have signature checking, EFI is a requirement. (Signature checking is also a requirement to run the x86 version of Windows 8 OEM channel license, by the way.)

But that is only one among many problems (and not the hardest one, BTW) that will prevent you from running WinRT on non Microsoft approved ARM systems. The biggest problem will be creating a driver set that is compatible with the hardware.

It's going to be hard to find developers who will take on such a project since not only is it a huge time investment, but it's liable to get you sued by Microsoft.
[Windows 8 General] kenikh:
Anything can be hacked given time and patience, but Win RT will be a tough nut to crack. You will have to have to find an exploit to unlock/replace the bootloader and likely write custom firmware. Given what a b!#@h the Lumia 900 has been to unlock, it may be a long time.

The good news is that Windows 8 (at least full Win 8) is moving to a class driver model which makes the likelihood of cross device compatibility much more likely than in the past. Base drivers could very well be standard across the respective ARM families and OEMs are likely to reprovision standard chassis designs for both Windows RT and ICS (much like WP7, a la Samsung Galaxy and Focus).

There are still too many questions to accurately guess, but we'll know more soon.
