hi all
Is it possible to do dual boot on the Galaxy Note ???
i mean dual boot with one Windows and one Android...
i could find some threads in S2 forum with dual boot having a AOSP based and custom ROM, but both are android only...
But with so much capable hardware, isnt it possible to have both windows and android in our phablet(Phone and Tablet ) ???
thanks
No.
Windows doesn't support ARM platform.

if i am correct, now windows supports ARM architecture too...!!!
Well, I suppose he's referring to windows phone that does support arm and not windows 8 that will support arm but it's not available yet. .
In principle is possible but likely difficult to do since it requires a lot of work and reverse engineering from developers because windows phone is not open source software no access to the code (as far as I know).

Pardon me,
Noobs hereBut i seem confused with Canonical statement, does Ubuntu Phone OS full fledged OS? or it's just running as shell (like Flyme OS or Miui?
Since canonical said that Ubuntu Phone OS will be available for all (almost) Android phone when it released, do they just release the source code and instruction for porting? or they will release an improved and completed version of Ubuntu for Android seen here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
It's a full-fledged os. Not a launcher or modified android rom.

what he said was true..but could android device fully support on ubuntu os..or it has similar specification as android phone?

there are two versions of ubuntu
one: ubuntu on adroid
this run ubuntu Desktop UI from android and run with android at the same time....
so it can posibly run on any android device that have enough CPU power and RAM
and maybe it need special modified android to run propertly
if that will be released for some devices .... devs will port it to other android devices
PS. to run ubuntu desktop from android you need to connect device to TV or monitor and to keyboard and mouse, so devices that can't connect to TV will be not supported
destkop apps usulally need much more space than android apps
and second
Ubunto for phones
thats complitly new OS that posibly run android on kernel(i'm not sure so correct mi if a'm wrong)
and it can problably run on any device that runs android (if that device have enough CPU power, RAM and strorage)
sorry for my poor english ... I hope you can understand this
It doesn't even matter what kernel Ubuntu Phone is based on because they're gonna release the source by the end of this month so we can port it to whatever we want (theoratically).

Yes we will be able to install ubuntu phone os in all android devices. Ububtu is build on the same linux kernel which android uses. So all drivers are available for android devices. How ever it won't be a single image like like ubuntu for pc. There will be separate images for different devices.
I wanted to ask if it is possible to flash custom android ROMs in nokia lumia 625, becuase I saw android-marshmallow60.net/tutorial/upgrade-update-nokia-lumia-625/ to be showing to install Android 6.0 on nokia phone and fullandroid.org/nokia-lumia-625/ to be showing screenshot of working andoid ROMs. Please guide me the steps to install custom Android ROMs.
What you see was spam for sure.
Is it not possible ?

Android requires a compatible bootloader like LK (which has to be programmed from scratch and the kernel, device configurations and proprietary blobs (which be ported from another device)

Yes - someone would have to do lots of work, especially on drivers. Never said it was easy but it has already been done for mac's with hackintosh, so it's not impossible.
Windows Phone Internals 2.3 is released, now it is possible to install any custom rom on any lumia phone so very soon android roms will be available. Good luck.
N910c nougat 7.0 port rom galaxy tab s2 sm-t713 for 2018.
And 64bits enabled.
Some developers are working in it.
this is good news

Is it really? I mean, the Exynos variant is 64 bit capable, is it not? I know Samsung never did anything with it's still a 64 bit chip

Being capable is one thing, Being disabled in boot-loader level is another. Yes the 5433 Can handle 64bit. However in Note 4s case. The bootloader is locked to 32bit, which means the kernel is locked to 32bit, which means its impossible to run 64bit libs on the OS. even if you somehow managed to source 5433 64Bit libs (which is impossible unless you are samsung)
Take another example. my other device the J530F (Galaxy J5 Pro) it has an exynos 7870 which is a 64Bit enabled chip, However the bootloader is Also 64bit capable (which means the kernel is 64bit which it is) so a device like that, it could be debatable that it could get 64bit if someone we source 7870 64bit libs. But Note 4s case, its just not possible. regardless of android version

Aaah, got it. Thanks for clearing that up
I guess even if it was possible, there's not much you would be able to actually do to take advantage of the 64 bits with just 3 GIGs of RAM, right?

Aside from RAM , the main benefit would be using 64bit apps, so Bixby voice/vision for example.

Well.....we might have a chance of getting Google Camera to work on the Note 4 if that's possible

Hello, sorry for late question. May I ask how you realized that it's a 32bit-only bootloader?
I am trying to mainline this device, and there is support for exynos5433 on the mainline kernel. However it is only in the arm64 folder, so if the bootloadfer is 32 only i don't think its possible to mainline. thanks!
Is there a way to leave the firmware as it is and only increase it to 64bit without changing much?
no, thats not how that works at all.

The only possibility of getting to 64-bit is if motorola releases 64-bit source code after launch, and then someone creates a custom rom using it. This actually happened with the original Moto Z Play, so there is a chance. But we're not there yet.

Is it possible that it gets 64bit with the pie update?

Likely only if a device originally shipped with the 64 bit OS (e.g. G6 Plus). If you've got the G6 with a 32 bit OS, the update would likely be 32 bit, with you requiring custom development for a 64 bit custom ROM. From what I understand, moving from 32 bit to 64 bit may need a device wipe, which a lot of users (especially non-XDA or non enthusiast users) may not understand or happy with if that was mandatory for a system update.
What's the point in having 64bit on this device?

As far as I know, mainly the reason for wanting 64 bit on the G6 would be to use certain apps that are only 64 bit (e.g. Google Camera and in this case, fortnite). The G6 has 4 GB of RAM so the memory addressing advantage wouldn't be in use (unlike the G6 plus which can include up to 6 GB apparently), though could be argued you may get better performance from 64 bit. However, drivers may have to be re written or modified from the 32 bit system to work on the 64 bit, even if you could flash the 64 bit custom ROM, there may be bugs.
As a non-developer, it would be my assumption that the bootloader and vendor files would have to know how to interact with 64bit parameters. Despite our hardware supporting 64bit, the underlying software must support it as well. Like others have said, Motorola would have to release the source or build it for us.
I dont know a lot about this, but i think the Moto G5 Plus community got it.
They did the firmware 64 bit despite the fact that Motorola didnt do anything

@dejello is working on 64bit support. last i heard he had a 64bit kernel working in TWRP with a working display.
Hello to all,
For t715 with Exynos processor, it is a 64 bit ROM on XDA?
I don't find any thread with...
Anyone know about this?
I appreciate any feedback.
Hello,
While the Exynos processor is compatible with 64bit instructions, Samsung never enabled it from the kernel. No device with this processor was ever released with a 64bit version of the kernel, thus, all custom ROMs are forced to use what's currently available: 32bit ARM instructions.
Since the processor first got used inside the Galaxy Note 4 (which was launched on Android 4.4, before Android supported 64bit instructions) Samsung had to use a 32bit kernel. It was not worth the extra effort in rewriting the entire kernel from the ground up just to make it compatbile with 64bit instructions. And now here we are, 6 years later.
Hope that cleared up any question you might have had left. Have a nice day!
