thanks for the quick reply, i hear some people are using android 5.1 i have android 6.0 on my ativ pc pro a04uk model with sim module but android dosent detect a sim insterted but windows 10 does. does android 5.1 allow working 3g sim? is it fixable? is there a solution out there? if they fix this then the ativ pc pro is the best technology gadget out there right now since it creates a very powerful android device more powerful than the £1000+ android devices out there right now. this is simply becuase the core i5 cpu is many times faster than any android mobile/tablet device cpu out there and the mere intel HD 4000 graphics is better than an Adreno 430 mobile GPU which is in high end mobile phones like samsung galaxy note 4. as you all know android devices are mostly limited storage wise and the device reaches end of life when the storage is full and thats easily achieved with only 128 gb on high end android gadgets but with the ativ pc pro the fast flash memory (msata ssd) is upgradeable and msatas currently go upto 1TB which is awesome + there is also a micro sd slot.

i just bought mine yesterday for £200 on ebay auction, got the ethernet dock + keyboard with it too.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] midi_1996:
I would go with android 6.0 which is "better" as the sim card is recognized but never really tested it, once you pit the tablet to sleep then wake it up it never detect the card again (too bad :/ ) And yes! Performance wise, this tablet outperforms many (if not all) highend mobile devices. And congrats on your purchase :3 hope you enjoy it. You can checkout OSX for Ativ 700T1C (i have the g01es, from spain) and it's totally badass... on windows.

Im now waiting for android N as it will bring many improvement to android regarding pen usage, which is the most important part of this ativ.

i would update with android 6 rc1 but have a probleme for my bcm4352 card wifi. it doesn't work. how to integrated driver for my broadcom card to android x86?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Mr_nUUb:
Hi guys!

I found out how to enable brightness control on our beloved tablet in Android-x86!

As we already know, we must use "acpi_backlight=video" kernel command line for linux kernel 4.0+.

For android, we also need to modify build.prop. So fire up an terminal emulator and get root access:

su -
vi /system/build.prop

Now add the following lines:

#
# Brightness Fix for Samsung XE700
#
backlight.brightness_file=/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
backlight.max_brightness_file=/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness

Some other information:

Android-x86 6.0 RC1 has some driver load problems which were fixed in RC2. That's the reason why Broadcom WiFi cards didn't work.

If you are using a Broadcom WiFi/BT combo card, make sure to copy the appropriate firmware to /lib/firmware/brcm in the correct format.

There are plenty of tutorials how to do this on the net, just ask Google.

Only 3 problems to solve:

- 3G Modem (Android-x86 6.0 RC1 requested a SIM card, RC2 does not... why?)

- GPS

- NFC

Best regards,

Mr nUUb

PS: is it possible to define the minimal brightness? Android does not get lower than 3, but manual setting to 0 results in darker but still readable screen.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] z750leovince:
doesn't work for me....when search in sys/class/backlight folder i don't have acpi_video0 folder
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Mr_nUUb:
Yeah, because you didn't append the kernel command "acpi_backlight=video" in grub.cfg (or whatever bootloader you are using).

For older kernels it is "video.use_native_backlight=0".
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] z750leovince:
i use clover for boot android x86
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] midi_1996:
you can still add linux boot flags, check Clover EFI Wiki to see how to make it work, I use grub now, as I abandoned OSX for some work (temporary).
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] z750leovince:
thanks... i tested but dosn't work, but i used remix os

some game doesn't work with x86 rc2...but work with remix os...i have installed remix os
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] midi_1996:
This works with any linux distribution! Thanks! (Tried on Ubuntu and Arch)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] ukaszek2nd:
Hi! Is it possible to install only android on this tablet without Windows (dualboot)?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] mymyway:
could someone explained to me step by step to add that line in the grub.cfg? in windows or in android

ok, maybe I should explained what's going on..

got a new laptop from office, so I have previously busy my xe700t1c laying around. searching hi and lo, trying this and that, and suddenly I have my xe700t1c with dual boot windows 10 and android x86 (cm 14.1) installed in my sdcard. yes, I am not touching the original ssd.

just have it for couple of days with no real usage, just playing around, but the system seem really stable, running smoothly. so now I have a 12in tablet with really useful s-pen to jot around. great..

and I want to make it better because the brightness 'stuck'. so want to try edit the grub.cfg as above.

I know this is really old thread, but this hybrid tablet still worth it, at least for me..

thanks alot in advance, and sorry for bad english..

Dual Booting Samsung Ativ Smart PC Pro with Android and Windows 8.1

I think if you fulfill the following requirements then this method will work;

Update latest Bios firmware for Samsung tablet.

Take a complete backup of your system.

Create a recovery usb drive so that you can restore in case there is any issue.

You will need a pen drive of minimum 2GB in size.

Download Samsung XE700T and save it on your desktop.

Download Win32DiskImager Image Writer for Windows.

You will also need a working pc to create an usb drive for setup.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] billyJ:
Hi,

I installed cm-x86_64-14.1-r2.iso from http://www.android-x86.org/download on my Samsung ATIV 700T and brightness control do not work.

I tried a lot of things added these two

backlight.brightness_file=/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness

backlight.max_brightness_file=/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness

to build.prop

and modded grub.cfg/android.cfg adding

acpi_backlight=video

Any ideas why it doesn't work?

sys/class/backlight has got intel_backlight folder

I tried to point build.prop entries to this location, but still no luck.

see screenshots

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] p0k3y:
Ok, took the plunge. All went well. Thanks for the clear instructions.

Android flies on this tablet. i5 is just so much more powerful than ARM. The only issues that I have run into are apps not working. Any fancy games, like Defense Zone, just won't run. Hope this gets worked on and improved. I see great potential in it.

Update - actually most of the apps that I need are not working, such as Dice Player that I use to play MKV files, or Plex (no video). Even the Google Calendar app doesn't work - keeps asking for an account even though I already associated mine via Play and I don't see "Calendar" as option to sync in settings. Unless these problems are solved, I can't use this on a regular basis. But it's still very cool though. Much better than the emulator available in Windows...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
x86 vs arm. Most of those apps you mention use native code so are actually ARM only. You would have to request to the developers to add an x86 build.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] p0k3y:
Yeah, so that basically means it will be a long while before Android is truly viable on the X86 platform. I would think most ppl who want to run Android on X86 are looking for more apps. But if most apps don't work, then it's no better off than the Windows app store. A little disappointing, but totally understandable.

By the same token, wouldn't the 500T which runs on Atom (ARM?) be more compatible theoretically? Why is it that dual booting to android is not even possible to do there?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] salahmed:
For playing videos... I use MX player... and it have x86 codec ...

At the beginning I was so frustrated but I backed up my apps on the phone and transfer them and found some of them was compatible even it was not showing in the play store...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] p0k3y:
Thanks. I will give MX Player a try. Did you get Google Calendar to work?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] tarkan.dogar:
Should try apps one by one. Some works, some does not. This is an experimental and on going project and not completed yet...

For all interested;

I installed on my xe700t1c h02. It is really working with some exceptions which was mentioned on the 1st post. I installed because it was worth to try. I liked it.

If you want to remove, you have to reinstall your windows from your recovery with your back up and combine your divided partition. Because android installation divides your sdd in 2seperated partition and you can not combine it without formatting which meaning removing your existing windows.

So make a full back up, create usb boot and install.

There is another way of installing android to our windows machine. It is an emulator. I did not try but they say it is perfect. Here is the link. http://www.socketeq.com/
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
Atom is also x86. In the case of the 500T its a clovertrail atom chip, which for some reason has had its UEFI module locked to windows 8 and as a result will only boot into windows 8, it just refuses everything else. The previous generation of atom chips and the next generation which are on the way do not have this limitation.

There is a 2nd variant of the clovertrail (and a 3rd too actually) which does the opposite. Its locked to android. But the android devices which are sold with clovertrail CPU's have a modded version of android which has an ARM emulator. ARM emulation is kinda slow but its better than the situation your in right now with not all apps working, its not 100% compatible either but still, better than not compatible at all. In the event that an app does have an x86 variant, this modded copy of android will run the x86 version for max performance as you would expect (although being atom its not on the same level as your core i5 systems). The samsung galaxy tab 3 is using one, motorola and ZTE also have clovertrail phones out.

Does mean though that if you bypassed the UEFI limitation, you could probably port a ROM from the galaxy tab 3 or something which does include the ARM emulator and run that on the 500t, there are a few other difference between the clovertrail variants than the UEFI thing but they should be more easily worked around.

I have seen discussions about bypassing the lockdown on windows clovertrail tablets, someone did make some progress towards getting it to boot linux I think but for some reason it just kernel panicked shortly after booting, there may be more to the lockdown than UEFI, or UEFI might not have been fully bypassed.

There is a bit of an increase in x86 devices sold now. So hopefully in future more developers who make use of native code will be supporting x86.

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

Wrong. You can remove the android partition and then expand an already formatted partition WITHOUT FORMATTING AGAIN to restore windows. But it is easy to go wrong.

There are actually quite a few android "emulators" out there, but emulator is not actually the correct term. They actually just port the dalvik virtual machine and standard library to run on windows instead of linux. Android in a pinch is just the dalvik virtual machine running on linux, there isn't a whole lot more to it than that, its only the NDK which gets complicated in that regard (which consequently is where alot of these android "emulators" trip up)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] p0k3y:
I tried Windroy. It looks very good. The biggest problem off the bat is that it doesn't support the touch functions on the 700T correctly. Otherwise it could be more useful than dual booting. Do you know of any other emulators that are better? I tried Bluestack before but that was pretty weak.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
Sadly no. There is jar of beans, but I havent tried it.

Bluestacks does now have a version aimed specifically at windows tablets (they call it the surface pro version but its the same thing). But its actual performance is buggier
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] salahmed:
yes that's right especially if the partitions like the screenshot in the attachment... BTW thanks for the useful information ...

I tried 3 emulators and they are very laggy and never get the touch or the Pen working right ...

Edit:

XE700T1C-A01US Added to the first post ...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Thatgrass:
No offence, but this is pretty much a copy of my tutorial on using Android-IA...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] salahmed:
No... You are welcome to give your opinion...

The information in both tutorial is a copy of that found in Android in Intel Architecture official site... Except for modifications specific to each PC... Like I don't need USB keyboard and USB hub because I have 3 USB ports... And I use a different image for installation...

I opened this thread for many reasons:

1- The XE700T1C is not officially supported like your tablet PC and Intel don't build for this PC... Only for XE700T which is a whole different PC... so I take the risk for installing this project on my PC and searched the web for days to see if someone install it before, so I may not for some how lose my PC which costs me (1200$)...

2- if I didn't open this thread... I and other XE700T1C owners will flood your thread with info and questions that may be you don't have answers for it... like the recovery image which believe me I searched for hours until I found it because I was testing so many things and I lost the recovery and was obligated to download about 4.6 gigabyte to get my PC back...

3- if this thread does not exist... Then I should provide information in your thread and ask you to reconstruct the thread and change its name and every time I have new information I should ask you to add it to the OP...

4- The thread opened for long time to be noticed by the moderators and if they have any concerns about it then they would told me or merge the two threads or close mine...

I don't need thanks and never ask for them, I have a busy life but I steal some time to share and participate with the little info I learn...

Again Thanks for sharing your opinion here and you are welcome...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
Info I have found online suggests that the 1C etc simply represents the region the device was sold in and whether or not it included the keyboard or not, otherwise it is the same device.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] salahmed:
OK of we wanna talk about all the variants then we should have to discuss for long time as everyone knows how Samsung do these things when it produce so many variants in a way that itself not recognize them well... I read a long discussion just to clarify the differences between XE700T1C-A01 and XE700T1C-A02 and XE700T1C-A03 and XE700T1C-A04 regardless the what region they are like I have XE700T1C-A01AE and p0k3y have XE700T1C-A01US ... And at that time all these was WiFi only and how Samsung put the a cover for empty slot for Sim card but they didn't release a 3G or 4G ... But they did that after a while and they raise the price to about 1550$ ... And now there are more and more variants... And if you wanna search more you will find Samsung itself put wrong information about these and mislead the customers... I stopped searching about this to get some mind peace and to enjoy what I have and never get angry because of Samsung...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] madsquabbles:
basically speaking they're the same, but it's an older model of the ativ, back when it was called a slate 7.

i don't think this thread needs to be deleted. there are differing steps between the devices and merging the two would cause confusion when someone has a question. since thatgrass has updated his post to include the ativ pro problems will arise since he doesn't specify images and instructions on how to accomplish what salamed explains in this tutorial.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] p0k3y:
I, for one, want to thank BOTH salahmed and Thatgrass for figuring this out and sharing the instructions with others. It's always more re-assuring to know that your specific variant will be compatible before taking the plunge and risk breaking an expensive device. I hope both of you will continue to work on this and make it better. Thank you!

Great stuff, do you think it will be even easier with Bay Trail, which got Intel's support for Android?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] salahmed:
I read in the news that one of the Chinese manufacturer will release soon dual boot tab (windows 8.1 and android) with Intel bay trail CPU... I think this CPU is a good balance between performance and battery life. It is more powerful than Atom and a little more battery consumption...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
Baytrail isn't locked out like clovertrail, clovertrail is the only generation which has been locked.

I quick question, I have the XE700T1C A03US and I saved the recovery partittion to a usb drive. But I did not want the other partitions taking up space on my hard drive and I deleted them and downloaded an iso image of Win8 and did a fresh install. The question is without the other partitions my recovery disk is basically useless I assume?, for giggles I tried recovering from it and no dice it never even sees the drive so I just do the clean install method to install Win8, but I was trying to install Win7 without any luck it always refuses to let Win7 install.

Delete AIA partitions?

Since 8.1 upgrade, I have lost the dual boot. And I haven't been missing it too much. So I figure that I would remove the partitions created by Andriod IA. But I wanted to make sure that I didn't break Windows. Could anyone please confirm that it's safe to delete the partitions from the highlighted one, on down through the one before Samsung_REC2? 10 altogether? It looks right to me, except for the one highlighted because it's NTFS...

Please help if you can. Or if you have an unmodified XE700T, please post a screenshot of your partition map.

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] AnticsTheHanyou:
I had the same issue although I had previously installed IA3 onto mine. Turns out that having EFI/legacy USB booting enabled is not the only requirement, but you must also ensure the USB key is the first in the boot order. I battled this for over an hour this morning trying to figure out what was wrong, even so much as manually using efibootmgr to wipe all previous boot entries as well as using WinPE to ensure my internal SATA drive was wiped. Even tried four different flash drives, thinking it might have been a faulty drive. Turns out the installer is hard coded to expect the USB drive first in the boot order when designating the Android EFI loader as the default.

Set the USB drive to the very first in your boot order, reboot, and let EFI handle booting the installer. You should be able to install with the interactive installer without issue.
