Thanks for Answering my Questions.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamsofubuntu:
I don't technically yet have a Nexus 7 however as I did a fair bit of research before purchasing myself a nexus 7 I feel confident that I can adequately answer at least some of your questions ;)

1) Not this one...

2) the Nexus 7 has one micro usb port designed primarily for charging the unit however with the help of a custom rom (might be an app you can buy on the market now... ?) and a Micro USB host cable which you can get on eBay for pennies you can connect all manner of USB devices such as thumb drives and USB hard disks.

3) No the Nexus 7 does not have any built in expandable storage such as an SD Card however you can use the above for extra storage.

4)Not this one either...

5) yes you can install apk files
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mouse_man:
Let me answer your questions above, as I do have a N7:

1. No, just install the Superuser zip.

2. No, but, like the previous poster stated, you can use a USB OTG cable to access USB devices. In order to mount them though, you need Root and use StickMount to get read/write. Apparently this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer, can read them in read only. But I have never tried as I Rooted my device anyway...

3. No. but you should be able to using the above.

4. Both are listed as compatible (I don't play either, so I can't tell you if they play well or not)

5. This is a basic function of android as far as I was aware, but if not, then with an app installer, yes. no issues there...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kieso:
Yes to number 4. Both play well

Okay...I may have missed a post or two....but I am just wondering why CM9 and AOKP have both been discontinued before a stable release of CM10...

it seems kind of unusual to do stuff like that...i dunno, i'm not trying to say you guys aren't doing things right or anything...i'm just confused...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
Cm9 is not discontinued.

Eyeballer's nightlies are still active.

Only some other projects stopped.

Cm10 sure still need a lot of time till it gets stable.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kas006:
Hello!

I have a very anoying problem with my S II.

Whenever i play a game, the phone randomly pauses/reloads the game every few seconds. I read about a guy whit the same problem and the answer he got was that he had to increase the time of display timeout. This does NOT help. Any sugestions?

/Kaz
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loop4444:
hm, i wouldent say its a performance problem SII still has alot of horsepower.

its not a screen timeout-it only happens when ure not touching screen and u touch it alot in games

are you on custom rom or on original?

did u check check the staus of hardware rendering in settings?

cheers

I personally think Win 8 is better than Android.
[Galaxy S III General] MattBooth:
Windows 8 sucks, to be honest. At least on a desktop.
[Galaxy S III General] Nick14:
No and it's because of 3 reason

1. Arm verison of windows 8 need a "bios" aka special bootloader for it too work on devices which s3 doesnt have

2. Microsoft wouldnt let anything that runs android run windows on it instead

3. windows 8 RT will only work on specific hardware and resolutions that s3 doesnt have like 1366x768 res
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Then buy a windows 8 phone and not android.

Personally I think windows phone is sh*t.
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
I wouldn't piss my money away on a Windows 8 phone but dual boot Android/Win8 is something that's already got me salivating.
[Galaxy S III General] duskdevilza:
I reckon Win 8 Phones have their place in the market... At the BOTTOM... LOL. But seriously, I had my hands on some DEMO gear and its not that bad. It's good to see a more level playing field as all that really means is more CHOICE for all. :)
[Galaxy S III General] ~semsem~:
I think the question should be: will win8 phones able to run android ;) ?
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
though its not possible to port win8 to s3 due to copyright issues, your 1st and 3rd point is not true

1. bootloader is hackable

2. 1280x720 is supported in win 8 mobile

---------- Post added at 02:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------

Im not saying its not possible but I doubt many Devs will invest so much time and effort in producing a port that is partial and not effective...even the HOX port to S3 is not easy feat by any means...and keep in mind...thats Android to Android lol...
[Galaxy S III General] rohan999:
I personally think windows 8 on phone sucks....but as a tablet computer it is pretty good. If windows 8 could support all (or atleast most) of the apps for windows (.exe) it would be great, imagine loads of apps. And more over all the developing, rooting, flashing roms on android phones could be done anywhere (not literally) just via the tablet. I personally think windows 8 on a tablet would change the life of all normal pc users. As for gamers!!! and heavy duty devs, the most powerful pc is also weak.
[Galaxy S III General] RubenGM:
I believe apps would have to be recompiled for ARM. Right now 99% of apps would not work.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
WIndows ing system is KING. But as for a phone... I think ANDROID has that title at the moment.

But I would like to have the option to have windows 8 on my phone just to play with it abit.

I wonder why any devs could not get the same framework and just change the drivers around to match that of a s3.

I mean its software on hardware. If you have the space and right kind of hardware anything i think is possible. If you know how to manipulate software very very well
[Galaxy S III General] rohan999:
<QUOTE>I believe apps would have to be recompiled for ARM. Right now 99% of apps would not work</QUOTE>

some tablets run on intel processors....so i believe they might run as usual.
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Real question is as always will a Dev be bothered to try to port it .

Its never a question of users wants always developers choice .

Unless of course someone needs Windows that much they pay to have it developed privately .

Second question is how long before w8 port leads to Microsoft's lawyers gearing upfor action .

WP8 and Windows 8 are not the same.

But seriously Windows 8 is a tablet OS. It is not easy to use on a 4.8inch screen.
[Galaxy S III General] JAMIE1000UK:
Wp7.5 was horrid. Wp8 will probably be the same..

On a tablet.. hmm maybe worth looking at. On a desktop... i had the beta... piss poor..

I now have the new beta on the xbox.. looks alot like windows 8.. but... i like the new dash for one reason..

Microsoft finaly got their fingers out thier jacksys and intergrated internet explorer..

Personally.. i hate anything to do with windows excpet the fact that when they break.. i get work..
[Galaxy S III General] Steve_max:
You are talking about Windows 8 (RT), and that might be really hard to get on the S3. However, Windows Phone 8 does accept our resolution (see the ATIV S for example).

What people seem to be missing is that we have the Android sources. This means that it's "easy" to change the source code and make it run on different systems. Windows Phone (and Windows) is closed source. It's a "black box". You can't see what's inside, so it's very hard to mod it to make it run where it isn't intended to. This is the reason why no device has been hacked to run WP7, even when its hardware would allow it to (such as the Nokia N9).

It will be easier to run Android on the ATIV S than WP8 on the SGS3. Not saying it's impossible, just that it's very, very hard. Much harder than Android on the HD2.

[Galaxy S III General] nicholas099:
Seriously WP8 should have a place in the market and it is good to see another unique mobile OS to complete with the like of iOS and Android.

Personally, I find iOS is extremely boring but their ecosystem is suitable for whole lot of people because they can't change anything in software.

For WP8, I just had a chance to play it a little, have to say it is quite an unique mobile OS not like the BB10 that cooking everything in one dish. Still I find it boring quite too...tiles concept on desktop...easily can be done by an App developed on Android so why people are so fascinated about WP8???

Still searching for an answer why people would buy iOS and WP8...cause I just cannot find one myself!

But I honestly think we all should hat off to Steve because he really changed the mobile phone market to a whole new level.

[Galaxy S III General] norpan111:
I felt very restricted when I used wp7, websites looked awful and the apps design was really really bad..it doesn't look so much different then wm6.5 in quality of design..and every app looks exactly the same! I like consistency but not that much:p I loved my hd2..the developers just went crazy and got wp7 and now wp8 running on it! You could buy a cheap phone like the lumia 800 and use it for a week to try the os..I did and have it away:) I was so frustrated it almost got bitemarks lol
[Galaxy S III General] kaliberx:
Not really there are plently changes under the hood between win7 and win8, but i dont like the UI..so i got Start8 with Old Style UI but able to run new Apps.

Win8 is a tad more faster in several things then Win7 as example.
[Galaxy S III General] s4nity:
The wp7 launcher is very nice but still if the launcher works with the live tiles it would be insane awesome... its like having a real Windows phone... imagine how cool if theres a port for our s3 :D

[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
I love windows 8 and I used to hate android but since ICS/jb Android has stopped feeling like a beta and it is possibly the best system of all for a screen 7in and below. IOS 1-4 was amazing for its time, fast smooth and stable, however my s3 on the latest firmware is smoother, faster and more stable than my iPhone 4s running ios6, which now feels dated firmware wise. Windows phone is the smoothest and fastest of all 3 (s3 beating it because of the hardware along with firmware) and is as personalisable as Android, though less customisable. Wp8 also has more core functionality, though touch wiz on s3 keeps s3 king of that mountain too. OK only keep the iPhone for I message and camera basically, the s3 is my main phone. Would like to replace the iPhone with a lumia 920 but dont have the cash

[Galaxy S III General] xenixas:
I think user wanted to ask WILL WINDOWS PHONE 8 RUN ON GALAXY S III :D becouse ativ s specs is more like the same as s3
[Galaxy S III General] pawmadsen:
not even close to the same spec..

they might look the same but the internals are quite deffirent.

ofc this is the international S3.

ATIV S

CPU: 1.5 Ghz dual core (Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960)

GPU: Adreno 225

SG S3

CPU: 1.4 Ghz quad core (1.4 GHz quad-core Cortex-A9)

GPU: Mali-400 MP

i tried my bothers lumia 920, and after 2 weeks its showing build issues, the screen was loose at the top,

i guess all the layoffs from nokia is showing in the quality, the plastic chassis is not even close to the quality of the samsung.

its WAY too heavy, feels like a heavy rock compared to the SGS3.

i dont get how it's so heavy, with smaller battery and build with plastic.

using the browser is 3~5 secs slower on almost every pageload than the sgs3.

the only thing i like about the windows system is the fluent scrolling,

but i can live without that compared to all the other stuff

the windows 8 phone system might be now and shiny, but its far less supperior to android in all aspects.

the JB firmware on the SGS3 is amazing with all the realy innovative stuff samsung have made to it.

the touchwiz is in my mind the best launcher, so many options, only bad thing is the memory use is high.

i would never have a phone without smartstay.

multiscreen (running youtube and browsing at the same time),

smart rotation for reading laying down,

the camera is alot faster then the lumia 920

and if you want quality use HDR mode and you get realy high quality pics from it, (still no substitute from a real SLR camera)

with the lumia you get the classic reload (shutter lag) after taking a photo, where in the sgs3 you can click or even hold in the button and just fire away. with 20 pics in ~4 seconds

i cant wait for the SGS4 :)

if you want windows on your phone just set up a remote desktop connection to your pc.

[Galaxy S III General] night_elf:
Thats not quite the truth...

You can clearly see the Touchwiz Locksreen at beginning (0:12). So its either a very good launcher or just a Remote connection to a Windows 8 Device.

As to the Topic i would say that the porting of Windows 8 to Galaxy S3 (i9300) is impossible. Not because its Technically Impossible, its just unnecessary so unnecessary and complicated that it makes it impossible. Microsoft clearly does not support the Exynos chip from Samsung (until now) and as far as i know Samsung didn't make the Exynos Source Code Open for anyone (even if they said that they will do so).

So we are talking about porting a Closed OS into a (Semi-)"Closed" System and that's just not something someone could do on his free time :D

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxfanj:
As of when I used it, it wasn't 100% stable. I think for now, you need to stick with CM9/7 or whatever you like. CM10 still has a bit to go to be a daily driver for everybody (some people are happy with it now, but many are waiting).

I wasn't referring to voodoo color I meant voodoo sound, I paid for the voodoo sound plus app and it's suppose to inject the code which make voodoo sound work for whatever Rom without the need of a required kernel.

And to answer your question about flashing the nexus modem, you don't just flash it it require a patch for the modem to be flashed.

There are two threads in the Development section that will guide to flashing not only the nexus modem, but any modem you want.

Thanks for the tip :D. Might use CM10 Official.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00145:
it's okay

as long as you're willing to learn about modems and such you're good :) I'm pretty cautious about flashing anything on my phone, so trust me flashing modems is a piece of cake. You should really try CM10 the only problem I see with CM10 is not being able to switch roms until odining back stock.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to switch Roms after running CM10 with that extra artery clogging butter. Lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TaviRawr:
Thanks for the advice! And a question, can I dirty flash over ParanoidAndroid or do I have to factory reset? And can I just flash CM10 or do I have to flash modems and everything else?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00145:
I advise you to make a backup, wipe the usual data and such. CM10 does something with MTD I can't recall, so wiping data would be in your best interest. And don't be alarmed while flashing CM10 your phone reboots and you get stuck on the Cyanogen screen. Wait a minute or so, remove battery put it back in and go back to recovery wipe data again and reflash CM10. Make sure you have JB GAPPS too flash right after you flash CM10.
