I don't know anything about it, but there's a guy in the Chicago area advertising a a500 "upgraded" to windows 8 on craigslist...you could try and ask him some questions.

AW: Install windows 8 in acer A500!

I dont't think it's possible cause of the processor.

For the HTC HD2 it's possible but not recommend.
[Acer Iconia A500] Tautvaldas:
Maybe, but not cause of the processor, because a500 processor is Tegra2, windows RT runs on Tegra 2/3 processors.

Hello mrlamo, who is "him" where can I ask him about it?

THERE'S PLENTY OF HELP IN HERE FOR UBUNTO!

Win8 , might be interesting , as a desktop it blows , I ran it for a year and really it sucked ,as a tablet its more useful and could be alot more than just a way to check social media , but my money goes to Android now , as I was an original win phone 7 user with a focus , I went through the whole thing in the development of the os , only to have Microsoft abandon it as they have with many of there past adventures , to me thats the kiss of death , because what happens afters win 8? win 9 and they cut off support for win 8 , what a joke , Im running 4.2.1 on my Galaxy Note and my Acer a500 (niether have been officially supported) ,my Kindle is rooted (with FFF and TWRP) I can if I want to upgrade to a custom JB rom but dont need to right now , Android is so much more dev friendly , does microsoft want me to have access to the api's nope but they give tidbits every now and then , they even walk a tightrope with hackers , giving crumbs so they can find flaws (on xda thats known has exploits and devs are granted access) unfortunately that access is taken away one the exploits are known by the Microsoft hacks who come to xda! No thank you!

[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
*facepalm*

Windows 8 can not and will never EVER run on the A500 or any other tablet. Ever. Period.

Windows RT might one day get hacked enough to run on it, poorly. But Windows RT is not Windows 8. Windows 8 is for x86 processors only.
[Acer Iconia A500] Androidaholic:
Windows Rt on Tegra !

What are you talking about they are many tablets produced with windows 8 on x-86 chips and the only reason RT is not getting ported now is because of the licensing and it being closed source which has been mentioned already. You have a poor attitude and either lack the ability to explain factual information accurately or you are just mad in General. The fact is windows Rt runs on a Tegra 3 in the Surface RT so there is no reason why it could not run on the Tegra 2 that is in the A500 the A200 or any other Tegra powered tablet for that matter ! Personally I think Microsoft should sell copies of Windows Rt just like they do Windows 8. They could make a lot of money off of it and there would be a lot of happy dual booters !

This weekend I'm going to play a game... A customer of mine sent me a vivotab for Xmas. Since RT has no install media I'll backup the recovery partition and see if I can get it on my a500. May as well as nobody seems to be ROM for it these days and I can't make one myself.

As far as the RT & 8 chatter goes... Doesn't really matter what user opinions are but MS says its part of the win 8 family. The difference between the 2 versions aside of architecture is only that full win 8 is backwards compatible because of the GUI calls and RT is not. And of course the install from the windows market only...

I foresee a new debate because I used the term 'family'..

If you do search on YouTube for win 8 on an Android, you will find a lot of videos of people running a win 8 app on androids like the Galaxy S 3, etc.

Their android now looks and works like its running Win 8.

There`s even ones running Win XP. They even require a real Win XP disk in ISO format to do it.

My question is, has anyone tried these on the Acer Iconia A500?

There`s also one showing selling a $60, 7 in tablet with Win 8 on it.

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] apapousek:
For all those videos of Windows running on Android, an emulator is used. Performance is usually **** and not worth investing in.

For those who think we can 'port' Windows 8 to Android: get your heads our of your asses.

The kernel would never initialise; that's when you're past the security checks etc etc.

As for emulation, I have a nexus 4 which is overclockable to 1.8GHz Quad Core and I won't even bother. ARM-based x86 emulation will let windows boot on a nexus 4 in probably a comfortable 20 minutes.

Hi guys, I'm interested in purchasing this phone un-subsidized as a gift to my mom, and was wondering if there's anyway of using this phone without having to add a data plan?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] quarlow:
I'm pretty sure AT&T will add a data plan systematically to any smartphone detected.

I think the only way around that is using a phone that isn't AT&T branded, like an unlocked TMo or international phone. They do some sort of IMEI match I think.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Yup, once they read the IMEI on the phone, they will add a data plan, and send you a text telling you they did so.
[HTC One X] Roberto_Sampaio:
Hi guys,

I have in my hand an International One X (Endeavour PVT SHIP S-ON) completely bricked.

It’s unlocked and with CWM recovery 5.8.2.7

The SDcard, Cache, Data and System were formatted

So I need to find a way to put it running again, and I would like some tips.

What's the fist step from this point?

I think I need to mount every folder and format... Is it?

And how to flash a new kernel and a new ROM from PC? Or how to put inside the SDcard the necessary zip files to install from CWM?

I'd appreciate if you could help me.

Thanks!
[HTC One X] scream_clarity:
If you can access recovery, mount USB and put a ROM on the SD card after you extract the boot.img file and put it in your fastboot directory. Then reboot back to boot loader, run fastboot erase cache, fastboot flash boot boot.img and fastboot erase cache. Boot into recovery again, flash ROM, win?
[HTC One X] eyosen:
One thing to add:

First and foremost upgrade your cwm recovery to 5.8 4.0 to prevent any problems with usb mounting and charging.
[HTC One X] Roberto_Sampaio:
Ps.: CWM 5.8.4.0 installed :)

HEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The new CWM mouted USB fine !!!! :)

Lets go to the next step !!!!

There is no folders into sdcard...

What should I do Now?!
[HTC One X] eyosen:
See my post above ;)

Use

fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery image file>.img

To flash recovery
[HTC One X] Roberto_Sampaio:
I have no image file... :(

Could I put the rom (rom_name.zip) file into sdcard and install it?

And how about the kernel? should I install a kernel first?

And about the SDcard folders!? Will the new ROM create them?
[HTC One X] scream_clarity:
You need to take the boot.img file out of the ROM zip and flash it with fastboot flash boot boot.img

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

Here's a quick step by step.

1, if the ROM.zip is on your desktop, open it and drag the boot.img file to the desk top, then put it in with your fastboot files which is the same place you put the recovery.img.

2, in fastboot mode, type fastboot erase cahce, fastboot flash boot boot.img, fastboot erase cache.

3, boot into recovery, if the ROM.zip isn't already on your phone, mount it and place it on the phone.

4, unmount, then flash the ROM.zip by selecting 'choose zip file to flash, erase cache, dalvic and wipe battery permissions, reboot.

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

The boot.img in the ROM.zip is the kernel. So once you remove it, flash it with the command above, then install the ROM.zip with instructions above, the new installation will make everything needed on the SD card.

Or if anyone knows of a keyboard case (like a zaggmate look alike for touchpad), that would be awesome as well.

Thanks

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004IQ04YY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

I bought this one when it was $20.00.... ridiculous price now, though.....

IPad KB cases work for the TP, just a heads up. I epoxy'd some foam at the bottom of the mount for the tablet to make it fit a bit more snug, but it's not necessary, considering the camera doesn't work, anyway.

Do some fishing on Amazon.... for 20, the case is well worth it...... not so much for that current ridiculous asking price, though....
[TouchPad Accessories] Legion021:
Thanks,

I was looking into buying this one:

http://www.amazon.com/ZAGGmate-Alum...=UTF8&qid=1347836439&sr=8-1&keywords=zaggmate

It's for ipad 1, which is pretty much the same size as the touchpad. But the price is ridiculous. There are chinese made ones that look exactly like the Zaggmate for cheap but they are only compatible with ipad 2 & 3.

I'll look into an apple keyboard cover see if I can find anything for cheap.

Damn, they only ship within US.

BTW, for people who are ordering this, it will work with the Touchpad but it won't fit as a case. Something to consider.
[TouchPad Accessories] Orange_furball:
I am looking for a case that basically converts the touchpad into a netbook. Meaning no flappy leather. I can't find anything solid that I can use on my lap. I was just about to make a thread about this.

Something that just snaps the touchpad in and folds open like a laptop (meaning you don't snap it in and out of a case)

If I had access to a 3d printer i would just make one

This was on Woot.com a few weeks ago for $8.00. I couldn't pass that up and got one. sinks great with my TP running CM9 nightlys. of course it has the dimensions for the galaxy tabs so my TP doesn't even come close to fitting into it, but as a stand alone keyboard, it's really good.

I just got the Kensington K39532US keyboard/case and IMO is the best choice for our Touchpads. It costs more than the knockoffs, but I've tried a couple of those and been disappointed. Being made for Android and Windows 10' tablets, I assumed it would be specific to widescreen tablets, like previous cases. However, I watched the video from their websitehttp://www.kensington.com/ajax/showVideo.aspx?id=48157 and it seems Kensington uses the same case size for both ipad and android, they just use a slightly different keyboard. This does mean there will be extra space in the case on the top or side depending on which size tablet you use. Some people may not care for the adhesive grid pad holding the tablet in place, but I find it very secure. If anything, it holds the tablet too tightly. Since I never took it out of the HP case, I'm hoping this isn't an issue for me. And yes, the Touchstone charger works with the tabet still in the case.

The upside for me is that I'm not using an iPad only case that doesn't quite fit (or covers part of the screen) and I'm using an android keyboard, so all the keys work. The special keys work, such as music/volume controls, back and home. Also, the keys are hard plastic, not the rubber-keys of previous models and knockoffs. It works like a charm, I'm using it now. There are two keys at the top right "K1" and "K2", not sure what they are for. Being also for Windows tablets, there are the usual Windows keys near the spacebar. If anyone wants pics, let me know.

EDIT: remove "not" from "not using an android keyboard"
[TouchPad Accessories] FC1032:
I happen to have the Zaggmate keyboard for Ipad 1 mentioned above (21st Bday present :D)

http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggmate-ipad-keyboard-case

Don't try the ones made for Ipad 2 and "3", they don't even fit and it's probably not designed for the weight of the ipad 1; and yes, even the knock-off ones don't work.

I quite like it as a whole, the design is nice; I quite like the glossy black against the aluminium, in general, it's not that heavy either. The keyboard... decent, a much much better experience than those squishy keyboards found on the leather folio type cases. You'd need to adjust to the keys, but that doesn't take long, some pics:

I haven't mastered the keyboard shortcuts yet, but most of the common ones work fine, and the media ones work too (minus that globe button). Only thing I don't like about it was that the "hooks" didn't hold the device in place well. It would topple if you moved it the slightest, and since you'd be poking the screen due to the lack of touchpad that was concerning. I just stuck on some no-slip padding, now its really secure and doubles to minimise movement when its closed:

Highly recommend one if you can get one for cheap, it fits really well and actually looks like its made for the TP. Functionality wise... well you can type on it and almost all of the media keys work
[TouchPad Accessories] ANUBIS1975:
hello FC1032.

Does the touchpad is fastened securely and adapted to the keyboard, or has a little slack? :confused::confused:
[TouchPad Accessories] FC1032:
When you have it "closed" there is a small gap at the corners of the case (due to the ipad1 being more sharp at the corners), there is very little movement otherwise.

When "opened" like a laptop: The TP is just leaning on the back hinge shown in the last photo and the base held with some "hooks" (so its not fastened/docked like a transformer). Originally it was not secure at all, like i mentioned the hooks at the base don't grip the TP. Now I have the non-slip grips stuck on. It's really secure now. I tried shaking and wobbling the TP and it still stays in place, as long as you don't flip it upside down or have it greater than 45 degrees, it's more than enough to be still.

:o I wasn't really sure which one you meant, so I answered both scenarios.
[TouchPad Accessories] Legion021:
Thanks FC1032. Exactly the kind of review I was looking for.

One last question. When you have it closed, would the touchpad fall out if you hold the case and touchpad upside down? Or is it secured. Because you mentioned there is a bit of empty space in the corners.

Thanks again.
[TouchPad Accessories] FC1032:
Unfortunately its not entirely secure and will fall out if held upside down.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgeo:
I recently purchased a used atrix. It worked fine but I wanted to try a different ROM.

Fast forward a little bit and I had rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and setup a recovery.

I downloaded the Neutrino CM7 ROM and put it on my external SD card (possible mistake #1, the thread says use internal).

I went into the recovery on the phone, made a backup of the phone and then went about wiping dalvik, cache, factory-reset, etc.

I then flashed the ROM from zip and some of the addons from the thread. When I went to reboot, the phone sits at the "M Dual Core" screen (I gave it plenty of time for any kind of background "first-boot" stuff and even removed the battery and let it try again). I have wiped and reinstalled the ROM about 4 times now.

I then decided to just go back to my original config and tried to restore from the backup (after wiping). Now after restoring the backup I either get a bootloop, or it will just sit at the "M Dual Core" screen again.

My only solace was that I was able to get into fastboot from the phone, but now after many attempts, it displays "Battery is too low to flash" if I try to enter fastboot. The phone doesn't seem to charge because it just sits at the "M Dual Core" screen whether its plugged into the wall or otherwise.

I am stuck on what to do next. I have access to the recovery, so I thought of trying another ROM, but how can I get those files to the device?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxK47:
You could plug your microSD card to a computer and copy the ROM you want to it. Alternatively, I once saw an option in clockworkmod recovery to mount the sdcard or the internal storage with the phone plugged to a computer via USB. If I recall it correctly, this option is located in the 'mounts and storage' section of the recovery.

The Sprint JB OTA had different binaries which I believe most Toroplus JB ROMs have already incorporated. CM10 has, for sure. The ROMs were already JB so when the OTA came out the only thing to update was the binaries and the radio if you hadn't already flashed sextape's leak.

You were asking about Paranoid Android in the thread. If you flash the nightly that gangsterjoop compiled it contains the updated binaries.

Also, have respect. If you don't like a ROM, fine. But don't say it's "not very good". At the very least give specifics about where it could be improved.
