I just recently used bootcamp to load Windows 8 Pro on a Macbook Pro 8,1 (early 2011).

Make sure you have bootcamp 5.0 installed. If you are up-to-date with Mountain Lion then 5.0 should be installed.

Open Bootcamp Assistant in OSX; Select the option to download and burn the latest Bootcamp Windows Support Software. It takes a long time to download, so hang in there, and have a blank dvd ready in your optical drive.

You should have a Windows 8 dvd image/iso (either purchased or otherwise acquired) and the bootcamp 5.0 Windows Support Software DVD you just downloaded and burned. Put the MS W8 DVD in the drive, and using bootcamp assistant in OSX select a Windows 7 install, choose your bootcamp partition size, format, and reboot.

When you get into the W8 setup after the reboot make sure you format the bootcamp partition you just made. It needs to be partitioned in a NTFS format.

When you get through the W8 install and are on the desktop, do not reboot. Put the Bootcamp 5 windows support software dvd in and install the drivers etc. Reboot when it's done.

After reboot, find the bootcamp icon in the taskbar, select it and go through the tabs to change trackpad settings and to pick if you boot into Windows or OSX after a reboot. If you right click on the bootcamp icon in the taskbar you can also choose to "reboot into OSX"

Everything is working great so far. I really like Windows 8 and have pretty much abandoned OSX now. I'm looking to get a 256GB ssd for a dedicated W8 install and then move my 320GB stock HDD to the optibay.

You might want to setup a quick VM with virturalbox or whatever else to see if you or your friend like W8, and everything you need to be compatible is compatible.

EDIT: Apple has not officially released Windows 8 boot camp support. However, my install is running without issue with the drivers that are available.
[Windows 8 General] JihadSquad:
OK thanks. looks like 8 is the way to go. I just have a couple more questions.

First, will the 64-bit version work fine? I don't know how much RAM his computer has but I don't wanna waste another dvd burning 32-bit when I have a 64-bit from my computer.

Second, how should I partition the hdd? I have no clue how much space osx needs compared to windows. The hdd is 250gb and he will probably just install ~10gb or less of software.
[Windows 8 General] htc fan89:
Just wanted to let you know multi-touch does not work...other than that it's really stable and if you friend has the 2010 or 2011 macbook pro it has 4gb ram, so it can handle 32bit version, I'm running windows 8 pro via boot camp it's all good.

Edited: there's trackpad++ driver that bring multi-touch functions back....
[Windows 8 General] irishrally:
Are W8 navigation trackpad gestures working or just two finger scroll? Two finger scroll worked for me out of the box, well, after installing the Bootcamp 5.0 Windows Support Software.

I recently completed all of the steps for a one click root of my epic and attempted to boot into CWM mode for the first time and now all I get is the samsung screen. No vib, no blue light... it just sits there on the samsung screen. I've tried every button combination I can think of and nothing happens. I think i may have created a paper weight. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance for you time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
Hold the power button and the volume up button. It'll reset, continue to hold, it'll boot into recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hrffd:
You are not bricked, probably a bad flash or cable. Redo the one click and should all be fine

The community would love to help you but you have to let us know if any of the above fixes have helped? Do you know what a jig is just in case?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asd87:
Just a bad flash, happened to me once. Boot back into Odin (Hold power and volume down) and redo the one click process again. Make sure nothing moves the cord or try a different one.

Hope it helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NurseNerd435:
Clarification

I did try the suggestions above. I apologize, it seems i wasn't clear in the OP; I get the samsung screen no matter what I do, all button combinations. And when plugged in to the PC it is not recognized.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
Your phone is not seemingly bricked.

Try the button combinations mentioned above but hold for like 20 seconds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
your NOT bricked.. just soft brick.. like suggested, calm down and hold volume down and power until it reboots into download mode again.. if its stuck at samsung logo get it to turn off by a battery pull or something and start over fresh. hard brick wont have a logo it will just be a blank screen and a solid blue led and wont do anything at all
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Sometimes it can be a pain in the butt to boot into recovery or download mode. Just continue holding the button combination until it enters download mode. It might reboot and go back to the Samsung splash screen. Just hold Volume Down and Power until you are in download mode. Do not release the buttons until you have successfully entered download mode.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NurseNerd435:
patience?

I held the buttons for 65 seconds... How long should I expect it to take?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
It really shouldn't take any more than 10 - 20 seconds max.

You must be holding it wrong... as Steve Jobs would say.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NurseNerd435:
Hope

Ok, maybe I missed it mentioned already, but i stumbled upon the "1" button and pwr button combo and got into DL mode. win/Odin see it so I have hope. I'm now just waiting forever to DL the appropriate .tar to return to stock and begin again...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
good. You are almost there... Post if you need any help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NurseNerd435:
Saved

Well, i got it back. I was able to load a stock rom via ODIN and ran one-click again. Now I'm good to go. Thanks for all the help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
Good for you!! Now it time to see if you can screw it up again,lol. Where do you want to go now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
What? 1 and power button? The OG epic?

That's what I was thinking. Wrong forum?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NurseNerd435:
Cool

I'm all set. Now I'm testing roms to see if I can screw it up again :p . There are too many "epic" models... I have the sprint Epic, the one w/ the slide out keyboard? Is that the OG version?

A few posts ago someone mentioned a "jig"...what is that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
I asked because that was my last phone. with the slide out keyboard. this forum in the SPH-D710. your is SPH-D700.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] smk224:
Has anyone experienced an issue where their samsung keyboard's swiftkey flow (swype) function doesn't work anymore?

I can't pinpoint exactly at which point it stopped working.

When I go to keyboard settings, Swiftkey flow is checked, but greyed out so I can't uncheck it or anything else. Tutorial or resetting settings don't seem to resolve anything either.

Very weird.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Subiegsr:
Hmm no issue here. What rom ate you using?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobmd:
Is this Swiftkey's Flow or a version on Samsung?

I thought Flow was just an announced but unreleased beta currently?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] smk224:
Im using stock rom havent rooted phone yet and also using go launcher.

The standard samsung keyboards swipe function was working for first few days so dont think it was a matter of ir not being ready or not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
It works fine for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scarpezio:
This same thing just happened to me: swiftkey flow is grayed out, cannot swype any more and can't get it back. Just suddenly stopped working. Anyone have any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
Try flashing my personal themed one and see what happens.

Go to app manager in the phone settings, choose all apps tab. Find the Samsung keyboard and clear app data. I tried this and viola! swiftkey flow is back. I guess its grayed out so you can't disable it. Anyhow, it's back working now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scarpezio:
gone again.

Contacted Samsung support and their final solution was to do a hard reset. I was unwilling to do that so I rebooted into TWRP and did a nandroid restore and all is working now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flak:
It's not swiftkey flow. It's samsungs version of swype.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
No its Swift key flow. Open the keyboard settings, unchecked Swift key flow, and it won't work.....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] madsquabbles:
i'm wondering the same thing as the settings say "Swiftkey Flow" and swiftkey is coming out with that product. i believe beta is available to vip members but i haven't tried it yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgamer:
Just happened to mine as well. On cleanrom. Tried to go into app settings and clear data, no luck. Froze and deleted data with titanium, no luck but it did reset personalization settings.

Sucks cuz I use the Samsung kb for work emails since the tw kb is glitchy with that app. Not going to hard reset just for that

Also my swiftkey option is greyed out ss well can't disable to re enable.

Edit:: ok I know it worked out of the box..Maybe not on cleaneom? Might be loosing it lol not sure
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
Again try my zip and let me know.

I think you can't disable in settings because it's a system application.

My only suggestion is to make sure predictive text is ON.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scarpezio:
After getting it working again after restoring from TWRP backup, I woke up this morning and the problem is back again. I like this keyboard because it has the number row but I guess I'll have to go back to swype if this problem can't be fixed. Samsung seems to have no clue. Maybe if more people complain to them, they might look into the cause and fix it.

[Update] I went into Titanium backup and did a data wipe on the Samsung Keyboard and it is now working again!

[Further update] disappears as soon as you start using it. Swiftflow not grayed out in songs but still only allows single key press. Titanium backup cannot restore backup copy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgamer:
After unsuccessfully trying to flash a zip to try to disable the sms screen wakeup last night, I restored from a backup I made prior to the zip install.

I left the bottom two options unchecked, I know one was cache but dont recall the other. Anyway I noticed today it's working again and the swiftkey flow option isn't grayed out anymore. There must be a cached setting we are missing?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
Had anybody figured what is causing this problem is it root. software
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
No because it's a small amount that have issues, it must be something you guys did. I have had no issues.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scarpezio:
Due to a different catastrophic failure I got a new Note 2. Within 4 hours, the new one has the same problem. The phone is not rooted and all the software is either from Google Play or Amazon. It still may be some software that is causing the problem but I have no idea which one.

I called Samsung support and they had no idea and are referring it to the "appropriate team" for a fix in the next update. In other words, live with it or use a different keyboard. Except I really like the Samsung keyboard with the numeric row of keys.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mugenga:
If the same thing is happening to your new phone without rooting or modifying, then what apps from the playstore and amazon have you installed? Could you make a list?

It might be one of them is conflicting with swift key flow?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sliverr7x:
Well I got it to work after unistalling all of go Manager and go launcher products and moto speak app not sure if this helped... But been testing al km aft er noon and stillworking
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kailee:
I had the same problem of Swiftkey Flow no longer working and uninstalling Light Flow fixed the problem for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
You guys are crazy, Swiftkey hasn't even released the beta to VIP members yet.

Perhaps it's just someone pulling your chain and renaming a diff keyboard?

Or maybe Sammy pulled some serious strings?...which doesn't make much sense b/c I doubt Sammy would include a beta keyboard on an RTM device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KB112:
Whether or not it's actually from the SwiftKey developers I am not sure. But it's labeled as Swiftkey Flow. Bear in mind, the "K" in key is not capitalized, like in the actual SwiftKey product name.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fsp48:
Well it was working fine for me stock unrooted until I loaded tsf shell. I run launcher7 and Nova launcher using HomeSmack to switch between them without issues so there is something going on with whatever TSF has changed. Going to remove it and see.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] naturist:
Can someone please extract the apk and post here. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flak:
Swiftkey Flow = never having to lift your finger off the keypad for whole entire sentences. I'm in the beta for it. Samsung's flow more closely follows swype (or a better version of HTC's "trace").
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
We'll I'm not in the beta, but I am going to trust Samsung. They wouldn't call it flow if Swift key didn't want them to.

I just got my note 2 last night. I installed 2 apps. Missed It and lightflow. When I check either in accessibility box. I lose swiftkey flow. When I unchecked them, I get Swiftkey working again. Really sucks cuz I've been using those 2 apps since my old evo and sgs2. I guess you can't have everything
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kgbaseball:
Disabling GO Notifications in the Accessibility menu fixed the Samsung keyboard issue for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wangjaroni:
Same with mine. It seems to be a known issue where Light Flow and swiftkey flow do not work well together. This bug also invokes talkbalk (even though it's turned off) when you create a folder in the touchwiz launcher and then open or close the folder (it says it out loud).

http://developer.samsung.com/forum/board/thread/view.do?boardName=GeneralB&messageId=213809

Hopefully they fix this soon as I became very dependent on Light Flow but have turned it off as I like the stock keyboard (due to the swype and numbers row on the keyboard).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] GhettoBSD:
Just wanted to add to the conversation, had the phone for a week now and it's been great. Rooted it and installed 2 apps, wifi tether and flashlightalerts.apk. Immediately after, I lost the samsung keyboard. I messed around on my own for a good while and couldn't figure it out. Reset a few apps and nothing worked. So I took to the net and found a few threads, nothing helpful. But once I got to the post in this thread about some program flashing something, I thought that could be the reason for me with flash light alerts. So I uninstalled, rebooted and sure enough, it's back. Hope this helps anyone else having the problem. Now I just have to find something else that works for flashing the light when emails calls and txts come in. Any suggestions???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] modmandan:
Your making this much harder than it really is...I think. Swiftkey flow is beta and it's timebombed. You have to go to their website and download the new beta. Their site says it will stop working at a specific date.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] modmandan:
I've been running Light Flow for a couple of months now along with Swiftkey Flow and no issues. Keep in mind that I don't use Talk back or the Samsung keyboard so can't say there.

I've been using Swiftkey Flow since early December and love it. You need to reinstall the latest version manually every 30 days; not need to uninstall old.

SGH-I317M

I have a Bell Note II SGH-I317M ... I have also noticed the issue for google now ( No voice feedback) I've tried everything with volume and media buttons ... Nothing worked,

apparently it only works for the International & american models Listed in Wiki : Samsung Galaxy Note II

also the Canadian Bell does not yet support the Multitask feature ( youtube How to Multitask on Galaxy Note 2 - Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Multi-Tasking)...

i've tried downloading the "Kies" program and running a Firmware update but i got a message saying " Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies.

Current firmware version: PDA:LJ2 / Phone:LJ2 / CSC:LJ2 (BMC).

If you guys come across anything with firmware updates for Canadian Note 2 share it here..

SGN2

Same here, i also got it from bell mobility, I need that Split Screen Multitasking function (most important feature!!). Please let each other know when bell or samsung will release firmware update for our Canadian note2. Thanks. Samsung is stupid to advertise these special features but they did not completely load them into the phone !!! SO DISSAPOINTED.

ATT is shipping online orders on Nov 6, they should arrive if overnight on the 7th. Stores don't receive the phone until the 9th.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] djnoicatse:
I wonder if it has to do with the system language of the phone when you first set it up. Maybe try setting it to English (US) instead of Canada.

You may need to factory reset. In order to do that. I just checked in my S3 to see if you can do it in settings and I was only given the English (CA), French and some Asian language.

Not entirely sure if it'll work, only noticing that the Canadian users are affected.

Hope this works :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hagow:
I did a factory reset and I don't remember having an option to pick English (us), it was just English (or another language).
