ION and PMEM should'nt be device specific, no ? Isn't the work done on i9001 reusable here ?

First it could be interesting to locate all patches applied on the kernel to implement the hybrid memory allocation.

Edit :

I suppose the kernel in question is this one :

To many 4.4 roms are coming out....in my opinion all kitkat devs should focus on just 2 roms and this really good kernel.

At least with 2 different 4.4 roms there is still competiton for improvement without scattering work to much.

A nicely developed kitkat will save out Arc from retirement.

Btw i was wondering, since HDMI sources for kitkat are not available, would it be possible to create-compile a MHL compatibility for our arc? so we can use MHL accessory instead of HDMI? Or a virtual machine on kitkat running the stock ICS HDMI feature?

I'm no dev so i have no idea how hard it could be.....just asking out of curiosity, many use hdmi on arc for movies or android desktop with OTG mouse and keyboard. Its really a pity we cannot make it work on 4.4 yet.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
A better Kitkat .. lets summerize current kernel situation

1. nAa 3.4 full of hacks

2. using drivers and stuffs from 3.0.x

3. Stuck on Abandoned PMEM {with every increasing android version we are using patches more than before to maintain PMEM causing soo many graphic lags

4. msm_fb code /* lets not focus on it currently */

why this mess /* to bring 3.4 kernel faster */

i m trying on 3.0.x-nAa kernel cause it is Pure CAF and also mike is working on Pure CAF 3.4.x MHL enablin gis such a lot and lot of work we are not in fully stable stage to look at MHL and other workaround first..

our device is a 3 year old piece of hardware without camera and HDMI libs using outdated kernel and drivers what should be the main goal

1. To make kernel updated with current sources

2. then make things working

3. then wprkaround for all abandoned hardware(like HDMI)

hope u know why we are focus on kernels and roms know ... and to come at point of compeion in roms

there is no compeition we are not selling our products .. we are working cause we like it and more roms means more respect for developers who are working tirelessly on maintaining those roms :) [MENTION=2093834]Marchinho6[/MENTION] please no these kinds of post ..!these will spam thread

Hello everyone! First and foremost I want to thank everyone here for all the knowledge I have gained thus far by reading these posts:)This is my first post to XDA and I'm pretty green when it comes to rooting and flashing roms. I'm sure this has been addressed before, but there are so many threads for this device, I don't know where to start. So here goes..... I bought a used S3 that was supposed to be unlocked, but wasn't. Anyway, I went ahead and rooted, and flashed(my first rom) Beanstalk 4.4.100 with no complications.Then I went ahead and paid a local company for an unlock code, after coming up empty handed on a way to do it for free. After it didn't work, they told me that I needed the stock firmware for it to work(Even though I told them ahead of time I was running a custom rom). Anyway I flashed back to stock 4.1.2, and the code still didn't work after being walked through several different methods of entering the code, so now I'm stuck:( Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Deeeno:
I used this method to unlock my SGH-i747 running stock 4.1.2 ROM

NW lock nv data initialize. Wait about one minute then power off.

Insert new sim, and power back on

I'm sure others here probably have an easier way, but this method worked for me on my first attempt of ever flashing a Galaxy S3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 12hawksfan12:
Thanks deeeno! I'm going to try this today.

One question before I start... Do I have to use Odin, or can I flash the zip directly from CM recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Deeeno:
I used Odin 3.07 since that's what the help article that I found stated to use.

I'm not a pro & didn't want to risk locking it up, so followed the articles advice.

I'm responding with the phone I performed the procedure on through T-Mobile so it must have worked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 12hawksfan12:
Well the file was nowhere to be found on that website...The link was there but no file to download. ive tried a couple other stock 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, ans still no luck for me. Seems like no matter what rom I use, I never get the NW lock nv data initialize option. Glad it worked out for you though, I think im just going to rid myself of this headach lol.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Deeeno:
I hear ya - Have another sgh i747 that's was upgraded to 4.3 before I got it and found out it's not advisable to downgrade the boot loader or it will probably get bricked, so no luck getting sim unlocked on that one.

It's been a few weeks or so since I found the file you need, and can't remember where I got it from - So sorry I can't be of further assistance obtaining the file.

There are half a dozen related post here on xda if you take the time to dig a bit - Good Luck

It is normally for the brick that happens from trying to downgrade the bootloader from 4.3 to 4.1.x. Theoretically it could work because what that guide does is force the rewrite of the bootloader sector of the memory. If you can recall what ROM you were on before this happened you can find the debrick.img for that specific firmware. If you were on stock 4.3 then you want a 4.3 debrick.img 4.1.2 + 4.1.2 debrick.img. Follow the instructions and I believe this might work. This is theoretical but I believe the logic to be solid as long as you can force into download mode.

To answer your other question about what JTag is, it is a manner of flashing things directly onto the motherboard. You can not do this yourself as a specific machine is required. It is quite safe, don't be alarmed by the way I worded this. Cell phone repair shops can have the tech to do this. Google search "X Jtag repair" with X being your city. You will find what you need there, if it is in fact necessary.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SuperDodge:
I've asked this question before, but I never got a definitive answer, so I thought I would ask again...

When I install programs to my miniSD card, they don't show up as having icons in my start menu. How can I get around this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Do you mean the icons of the seven most often used programs in the start menu or the icons in the start menu / programs. I assume the former. I had a similar problem where the icons would come and go - only of the programs stored on the storage card. I assume there's a delay in icon cache of those on the storage card and so they don't show after you boot up. I don't know if this is fixed on the newer roms and you did not mention which rom you use. I have any program that's in that seven on the start menu installed to the main memory and there is no icon problem. Hope this helps

Hi,

Is there any chance of dualbooting Dell Venue 8 Pro with Windows 8 and Android? I like Windows 8 but would also like to be able to use Android on this awesome tablet.

If not dual boot, is there any other way of using Android as virtual machine or something that provides full touch and other sensor's support?

Thanks.
[Windows 8 General] Anonymously_Unknown:
Don't "think" Android. Think Linux instead. It theoretically can be done, but the fact that the UEFI is 32bit while Linux uses 64bit.

You would disable Secure Boot in the BIOS. The other issue is a lack of drivers for the touchscreen during installation.

The stress isn't worth it in my opinion. Leave the device stock as is.
[Windows 8 General] A_Str8:
I'm waiting for my Venue to arrive. I plan to try running Android on it with Genymotion

http://www.genymotion.com/
[Windows 8 General] Anonymously_Unknown:
Not worth it

I'm downloading it now since it is just an emulator running inside VirtualBox.

There are many Android games, that I've already boght and would want to be able to play on the Venue8 Pro. I'll let you know how it works out in a few hours.

EDIT: I've installed and ran the application. As it stated, it is really just an emulator VirtualBox running a stripped down Android image.

Enabling my real cam with the emulator gave me my first BSOD. Installed a few premium games that I had purchased on my real device. The frame rate in the virtual environment wasn't smooth. It was obvious that you were using an emulator. Genymotion is a very good attempt at emulating Andriod on a running PC, however this solution is not for me. It isn't a replacement for a dual-boot scenario with the native OS.
[Windows 8 General] elixir_pr:
So what would you guys recommend? I have tried both BlueStacks player and an Android virual machine on my Venue 8 Pro. I really want to be running Android smoothly.
[Windows 8 General] Anonymously_Unknown:
To be honest, Genymotion, is smoother than Bluestacks, since it has the Vanilla Android interface (without Samsung's Touchwiz or HTC's Sense). The problem is with trying to use the tablet's hardware such as the camera or gyroscope. The process is then not smooth and gameplay (for serious graphic intensive android games) are choppy or lagging at best. You get the feeling that it is all being emulated and not virtualized in the true sense.

I'm convinced you would have better success running Linux natively then finding a method of running Android apps as opposed to running Android on the device.

Android requires an ARM SoC processor. The Venue 8 Pro uses a full X86/64-bit processor. Therefore Android would need to be re-compiled. This isn't worth the effort in my opinion.
[Windows 8 General] A_Str8:
I'm wondering if these instructions will work for the Venue. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2321292
[Windows 8 General] Anonymously_Unknown:
It looks plausible. I'd create a system image of my entire system partiotion before even attempting this.
[Windows 8 General] elixir_pr:
But isn't install Linux also difficult (given the UEFI problems)? And will I be able to run Android apps smoothly on Linux somehow?
[Windows 8 General] Anonymously_Unknown:
Linux to me would be easier since it already "exists" for PC. You should be able to install it in theory with a USB mouse and keyboard attached to a USB hub. Android on the other hand would simply not work "natively" with your Dell Venue 8 since it would have to be re-compiled for this purpose. I can't imagine why the source code for an Android app can't be re-compiled for Linux despite the differences in processor type.

My only desire for Android on my Tablet is to be able to play all those games that I've bought for my Samsung Galaxy Note2,

If I knew how to compile Android from source code and simply slipstream the touchscreen drivers that would be great. Let's agree to propose this to the developers in the phone section of this forum such as Cyanogem Mod so that something can be custom built for our devices.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Contrary to the above poster. There is no issue with android across architectures.

Android apps are compiled to dalvik bytecode and run within the dalvik virtual machine. Its platform independent. x86 builds of android exist. There are x86 android devices on shelves, there is android-x86 and there is android-ia. Android is also available on MIPS processors. Community ports to PowerPC have been done. As long as you have a dalvik virtual machine you can run the dalvik bytecode, problem solved.

The driver issue is a big one. x86 operating systems dont have the issue of having to target different devices. But there arent touchscreen, wifi, bluetooth or sensor drivers for all combinations of hardware out there. The asus w700 seems to be the device best off in that regard.

Theoretically it could be done for the venue though. Without those drivers though it will be unusably slow (software drawn screen etc) and interaction wouldnt be possible without external USB.
[Windows 8 General] Anonymously_Unknown:
Thanks for letting me know.
[Windows 8 General] CL0SeY:
Has anyone given this a go with the Venue Pro 8 yet? The IA (Intel architecture) android project seems quite mature. You could try booting from an SD card?
[Windows 8 General] elixir_pr:
I was thinking of trying that but was too afraid to run into a problem that would ruin my new tablet.
[Windows 8 General] xueyao:
Atom x86 phones and tablets use libhoudini to be able to run arm apps, so android dual boot is theoretically possible

SM N9005 Rocking Temasek CM11 With Temasek Kernel
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
thats a different problem and solution entirely
[Windows 8 General] A_Str8:
From what I've read, booting from an SD card is not an possible. That's what has stopped me from trying this. I'm not interested in resizing my C drive

In theory, it sounds like the Acer instructions should work on the Dell, but once you're in Android, there may be some driver issues.
[Windows 8 General] elixir_pr:
I am planning to give this a try if it this doesn't break my Venue 8 Pro. Will it break it?
[Windows 8 General] CL0SeY:
There is never any guarantee of not breaking a device! Perhaps starting with a USB OTG cable and booting the USB might be a first step - without installing to the device... that is if that is possible. I know it worked on my x86-64bit laptop, but the Venue Pro 8 is 32 bit apparently?

Anyway I don't have a Venue Pro 8 of my own... perhaps there is a guide somewhere on taking a full backup of your SSD in the device (or a similar device), including all the partitions etc?
[Windows 8 General] masterchiefb117:
I about to take the plunge very soon. I just completed the usb part of the tut. I am gonna use the IA3 file. I guess Ill see what happens soon. I already took the time to offload my backup on a usb, initially to make more space since I got the 16gig which really left me with only 6-8 gb. Taking out the recovery partition made about 3.45 gb free from the tab.

I already disabled "Secure Boot"

After doing this and restarting this you will run into the problem about the bitlocker and needing to type in your bitlocker code from MS again. You could bypass and disable this by hitting disable bitlocker. But for the concern it will come up. I plan on making a thread for this and be the pioneer guy.

So yeah kinda scared to start it as I got this when MS store had there $99 deal.... waited for 8 hours till i got mine and hate to break it....

Which Tablet?

The lowest storage capacity on Dell's site for a Venue 8 Pro is 32 GB, so what tablet/model are you working with?

willing to test

I have a Venue 8 Pro and I'm willing to test. I have a 16 GB USB 3.0 drive and a 16GB micro sd card. I'm aware of the 32-bit EFI loader. There must be somehow we can do a legacy boot or use the Fedora 32-bit efi loaders for Android-IA.

[Windows 8 General] baldpenguin2:
Hello I'm new to forums but I've been reading various ones about dualbooting android on windows 8 tabs. I have a venue 8 pro but can hardly find anything for it. There is a development forum for the Asus t100 that seems to be making progress, but that is for Linux, and I'm interested in android specifically. I read that a new android x86 was released that is based on 4.4. I also read its supported on all x86 devices except those with atom chips that have powerVR graphics. Does that mean that bay trail tablets could run it? I'm willing to test if someone else will too..

[Windows 8 General] richardyiu:
No, devices such as Viewsonic ViewPad 10i and Ramos i10 Pro (both bay trail based) can dual boot Android and Windows. I hope devs can port Android from those devices to ours so we can dual boot too.

For those interested, it looks like there's new Android-IA builds up for 4.4.2. I'm not sure if the generic installer works or not since it looks like these just went up (I checked very recently). Can some intrepid soul venture forth and try it? This hinges upon if they've changed to support Bay Trail's 32-bit EFI. EDIT: There is not currently a "generic UEFI" image up yet.

[Windows 8 General] sscsps:
Well I have solution for this,

But your would have to give a section of your SATA(not partition, but only some space)for installing Android(actually Linux)

The only thing you need to get is an x86 ported Android version

Your can get it here: http://www.android-x86.org/

And after downloading a specific version(Android version) just burn the image to a flash drive or dvd and boot from it and install on a partition

REMEMBER YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO USE FILES FROM ANDROID IN WINDOWS

Sadly, Android-x86 doesn't work well on BayTrail tablets: no video, no wifi, boots only to command line.
