Without Touchscreen or anything. At least not yet.
What I did? After verifying I got an updated backup on my server, I just installed Windows 8 ON TOP of my main office PC. Where I edit pictures and videos, install everything for testing, work on word processors, spreadsheets and overall browsing.
Kies isn't working though. Not sure why. However drivers for the devices are being downloaded easily. I just rooted and used ODIN 1.85 to flash CVM on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 and I can attest it worked.
First impressions? Nothing's changed much. All the hype and hysteria about the interface is just that, hysteria. You may miss the start menu at first, but after you pin a couple of apps, you're good. On the second screen, showing the desktop 100% of the time (there's no way around this, to show the Metro UI in both screens), you have a list of all pinned apps, the same ones I had on my Win7. All my settings were preserved btw, no loss. Steam seems to be working, Photoshop, except for Kies, everything worked well so far.
I expect some problems, but I plan to launch a VM to run older, crappy apps I may need.
I spend my days working on my main screen and my portrait 19" is just showing Metro goodness. Or not, sometimes both show desktop and frankly, I don't care one way or the other. If I want the metro apps, it's easy enough to show and hide, so I'm not complaining.
Here's one picture:

Hi all... Here's a free program which is a Today replacement, it's still in early beta, but it seems promising. I don't know if it has been posted in this forum, so i'm sorry about it if so.
I've tested it on my Trinity, it runs quite fast. it's still too early to be used regularly, but it's a nice concept.

woooooow!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's very coool where do you find it????
Is it a total replacement or does it run on top of the normal ui so you can toggle between the normal today screen and this app?
Nice idea, doesnt work very well, heavy on processor & lots of features not supported yet, like sound mute on/off & wifi

Click to expand...
Click to collapse

I already said it's early beta, many things still don't work, but it's still a nice concept
I'm refering to these great widgets on your today:

It has been asked here and there over this forum, but this is the main area, so its better to ask here...
Any way we can get the rom to extract a cab or something? I dont think its hardware dependent, so it should work on our machines...
Anybody...?
PS: I think the iphone came and slap M$ and all the ppc makers right on the face with its 200mhz machines since 2003 and 64/128 low ram micro upgrades...
Now these great plugins start showing up here and there and machines suddently have 4 gb of rom, finally some long-awaited REAL upgrades!
I wonder if the rotation animations can be ported i mean even though you may not have a accelerometer it my still hide the usual lag.
Actually I was refering only to the gadgets...
The diamond album was easily re-used by other htc's, but you couldnt turn the images because you had no accelarometer, it worked fine without anyway...

Agreed! The way the screen changes orientation is slick.
its cool..oh man why nowadays peoples brain are getting smarter..always out with something new
Today mozilla released an alpha version of the so called "fennec" Browser, the mobile version of firefox,
Although they have been releasing udates and actual releases for the Nokia n810 internet tablet, Today they released a version for......Desktop versions of windows, Mac os x and linux.
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/fennec/1.0a1/releasenotes/
Wow!, instructions on usage are on the page. Obviosuly mozilla decided this was the best way to show you what they are working on without buying one of those silly useless (but very good) Internet tablets...
Some screens....

cool, thanks for posting.
anyword on the windows mobile install?
there is a developer's blog with screen from it running on wm6. i wish he would make it available
Looks sweet. Can't wait to try it.
TELL me about it, i can't wait for it, trying it out on the pc. It seems awesome. Youtube doesn't work, but im not sure if an installation of flash works with it. (who needs it anyway huh? Youtube program from HTC works fine!) Plug-ins are also a feature with fennec, which will be awesome for people on here to get some good useful plugins made for us all!
Available for download here
Obviously, users with proper computers need the fennec-1.0a1.en-US.win32.zip version!
Ok so I typically run the stock rooted roms that get pushed out by such people as DutchDanny since in 3.1 i was able to recolor the navigation bar which made everything blend nicely. After a long while I decided that it was time to rom it up since i am a flash-a-holic on my tbolt as it is. Now I primarily use my tab 10.1 wifi while at work and tether it to my tbolt to watch any videos or shows that I want since I work overnight and our internet is selectively blocking access and flash to sites like ch131.com. So in my scenario the browsers flash playing ability is key.
One thing I have noticed while testing out 3 roms (Overcome, Stock/rooted KMM, BinDroid, and Galaxy Task) is that the browser seems to want to work differently when playing flash videos now. Now keep in mind I wipe everything atleast twice (data, cache, voltage, battery, dalvik cache) so its fresh each time and below is what I am seeing for each of the 4:

Galaxy Task
Does anyone have any idea what that gap on the bottom of the video between the players controls and the navigation bar is being caused by. As you see in the stock KMM rom it should not be appearing and even when task650 was kind enough to provide me with a flashable replacement for the stock browser rather than the xoom one, the problem remained.
dont suppose anyone is able to replicate this?
I used ch131.com to test videos
I had a hidden partition on my hard drive where they created a server that placed me under a work profile. I somehow got access to a file on my network [ I forgot how I did it] and changed some 0 and 1 around in some of the system files, and then my phone got downloads because, I think, my computer thought my phone was the server. I don't know... but I removed my hard drive, and the devices in the BIOS were setup to occupy my RAM with their control. I'm not sure if I was battling an algorithm or live hackers or both. But this picture was the command windows options menu, and I'm not sure if this is normal, but I believe they were gaining access through my color options in the command line. They have updated software on my old ipod back in 2012. I know a few of them personally, and one posted a wisecrack on Facebook about the military's abilities the same day my ipod got screwed out of my control by a software update. They get their schemas from, in this case, www.3w.com if my memory serves me. It's an architect company, but the schemas they use on my computer allow them to hijack my computer by using false security codes. One of my system files in booting has a command that upon power up, opens a command window then deletes the trace, and everything in my booting loads from their devices, and that command window opens on their server. Any ideas? I'm not sure I really want to fight the owners of this Earth, because I believe that is ultimately who I am dealing with.
You wouldn’t believe me if I told you the truths of how I know this. Anyways, I'll be glad to hand over my laptop if anyone wants to check it out
