Alternative operating system

hi guys,
its possible to install an alternative operating system on the HTC S730? For example a special Linux distribution?
greets
mike

Sure! Did you develop it?

oh.. sorry i wanted to ask if there is already a distro, because i'm not able to develop one

There are some works going on to run linux on the S710.
Maybe this is a point to start:

I pray for Android to be available eventually.

oh.. i watched the android demo video. I'm really surprised..
Will this OS run on all Smartphones? For example on our HTC Wings?

the guys over in the kaiser forum have recently got basic android running on their touchscreen devices but its uses a mixture of linux (to shut down WM and launch android!) and a 24mb cab file..! awesome thou! i tried it on my kaiser however it only ran for 10 seconds and hasnt worked since, BUT its a start!!!

is android also available for mobile phones without a touchscreen?

Yes, it is designed for both touch and non-touch.

(?) Dual OS for Tab!?

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to run dual OS on the galaxy S tab? Like Android and Apple !?

Is that a serious question?

Seems like a legitimate question to me, ViewSonic's ViewPad 10 already does Android-Windows dualbooting, and XDA itself has a thread about dualbooting the HD2 with WM and Android.
If the OP's asking about Android and iOS specifically though, then probably the answer might be no. If someone could do it though, it might actually be a good thing for the Android crowd: shows the Apple fans that choice and customizability is a good thing.

I was thinking the other day that my Tab would be pretty cool if running Windows Thin PC, saw info and a download on the MS site the other day while working on my wifes netbook.
I dont see a problem with either a full working version of Ubuntu or Windows on the GT and Android, or just the full OS. Seems reasonable to put an OS on what is essentially a tablet PC.
I would think its just a matter of a bios, and loading the OS, but I am not a programmer, so I could very well be wrong.
But....I'd load Windows or Ubuntu on the tab if it gave me the 3G ability as well as all other functions.

IIRC I think there's already a thread on XDA on bringing Ubuntu to the Tab. With Windows it might be trickier. The ViewSonic ViewPad 10 runs on Intel Atom, which is already used by other netbooks that run Windows. Windows might not be designed to run on ARM however, which is used on many Android devices. Processor design differences may be the key factor in porting the OS. (I've gotten Gingerbread to run on my Atom netbook though, alas I still couldn't get the touch screen to work)
Would be the first to jump onto dualbooting Android with Windows if it ever comes to fruition though; I'm a Windows developer and it'll be cool if I could write small apps and use them on my Tab.

You can't run Windows because there is currently no ARM version, though MS say that they will support ARM in Windows 8, but by the time this sees the light of day, the Tab will be obsolete.
There is a thread in the dev forum about porting Ubuntu to the Tab, but I believe it is still a long way from fully functional.

I already posted the question about fully functions in ubuntu for the tab. Specially the phone and sms functions but they denied it. I keep following and hope some day it will work

Thanks for the responses guys. Let's hope one day it would be possible!

since both iOS and Android are ARM based in most cases, you could probably make it happen.
Both Android and iOS are Unix based, so we could achieve this.
Also
It could be easier to port iOS than Honeycomb because iOS source code is avalaible for public, for improvements and bug seeking.
So, Yes, we could have dual OS on the tab, it could be windows, Ubuntu, Maemo, iOS and even Symbian

iOS source code is most certainly not available!

[Q] symbian on Linux or android

is there anything in motion for playing symbian programs on Linux or I say android.
just a thought : run ubuntu on android n symbian in it.

Some men are building ubuntu for some devices but is very difficult to run an OS who isn't preinstalled overall if the devices is a Galaxy mini and u want to has another OS installed on linux....it's very difficult dude

Eclipse vs android studio

Hello everyone!
I'm kinda new to android game development and after reading a few guides I managed to successfully create a game in eclipse.I then decided to give android studio a shot and make an app for the google playstore but it's so different then the eclipse and there are a lot fewer tutorials for game development in android studio., which makes it a bit hard to learn.Should I code in Eclipse or transition to android studio for apps?What do you guys think?What are main advantages of android studio?
Thanks in advance!!!

Android Studio is not as powerful as Eclipse yet, but a lot of online tutorials and courses remake their lessons with using of Android Studio. Also this IDE is growing really very fast and Google is oriented on it, so i prefer Studio. This is more comfortable to work with.

For game development, there's hardly any difference between using Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA. All you really need is to be able to import your Android project (potentially Gradle-based), run and debug it, edit code, and provide syntax highlighting and auto-completion. Both Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA support all of this. The rest of the tutorials you've read should be applicable to both IDEs. If not, you should look into better tutorials. There's no reason to make Android game development IDE specific.

Hello,
I will suggest you to move to Android Studio. Eclipse platform is no more supported by Google and Google promotes Android Studio.
A lot of tutorial are moving to Android Studio.
IMHO, there is no big differences between these 2 IDEs. I used to code with Eclipse and when I moved to Android Studio, I almost saw no difference.
However, if you want to develop games Eclipse or Android Studio is not the problem. The problem is to find a good game framework.
I recommend you to use : libGdx. A great framework to develop games in Android !

Hello all, I've owned Android devices for many years (mostly Samsung G-devices). Recently acquired a Lenovo M1 tablet, specifically for use as a drone controller (so I could have a bigger screen to work with). Planning to tweak this unit so I can load desktop view in the browser for those times when I use it just as a tablet.
