WP8?

I was intending to buy this device for JB, and because it's cool, but I was wondering, do you guys think there's any chance of installing WP8 into this device?
It would be nice.

not a chance whatsoever

Lol didn't mean to thank you, twas a accident.
But anyways, Widows 8 for ARM uses a module called a Trusted Platform Module. Afaik, it is a hardware chip that basically locks the device to Widows 8. That is on top of the signed images and secure boot type of stuff.

Oh god why would you want to run such a horrid, closed, OS on such a beautiful device. Might as well ask for ios while you're at it

we might be able to run windows 8 given that the surface also uses tegra 3, so there could be a possibilty there, just saying, but windows is a pretty good os not that bad like you think, actually not bad at all.

Interesting thing though. The new Microsoft surface tablets use the exact same processor ours do. But, no not gonna happen unless we reach an HTC HD2 level of compatibility

Did nobody read what I wrote? This is not an issue of drivers/compatible hardware/supported hardware or anything like that.
This is an issue of Microsoft locking Windows 8 for ARM to certain tablets using secure boot implemented in the UEFI. They are also using TPMs to lock the tablets to Windows 8.

You don't want a windows 8 device. I have the HTC Titan and I've tried to live with a really limited app selection but it just doesn't work. There isn't even an official Pandora app, and a lot of others are glitchy as hell. The os is pretty bad ass but with JB being as smooth as it is wp7 loses a lot of appeal. My NGex arrives tomorrow.

Actually what your talking about locks windows to the surface tablet, not the other way around. You can easily emulate an insecure UEFI instance, after all that's how hackintoshes work

So, in retrospect, it could be possible to port Windows 8 RT to android devices?

Actually, I do want a Windows 8 device. I'm using a WP7.5 HD2 now. It's not as bad as you say, and as I don't use Pandora, it's not an issue for me. Also, most of the apps I use are not glitchy at all. What are you using?
I'm also not crazy about having that many apps on my device, so I'm totally fine with it. WP7 is a wonderful OS, please don't put it down just because you prefer something else.

It worked great on my GNex, I haven't tried on my N7 since I don't use most of those apps... flash it and find out Just make sure to backup first
EDIT: DON'T do it. Others have reported problems

Dont try it. I did and it cocked everything up on my seven. Force closes everywhere.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I flashed in on the N7 and had major force closes all over the place.

Same here. Don't do it. This is not good for the Nexus 7. Had to run a recovery of system.

I've tried the one from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940197
when installed as user app it opened but force closed when opening document and as system app it seemed to be opening and then just close and go back to app drawer
maybe there's something in the build.prop that has to do with it? I prefer the 4 version but didn't manage to get the 3 to work either
I've tried other office apps but as for now, Polaris is the best one I've used... Kingsoft is very slow and others I've tried didn't have good support for RTL languages which is a must for me
really want to get it to work :\

Flash is alive and well just download the latest apk from the official adobe website! If stock browser doesn't support it then use dolphin or other browser from the play store!

Yes, the camera has flash out of the box... (no need to install additional flashes, it works more than ones, not like old cameras were you needed to buy more "flashes" ) Just don't look at it directly or too close when taking pictures... Lol

Camera flash, definitely.
Adobe flash, high chance that the stock browser won't support it seeing as how that seems to be the case on the S4), but Boat Browser and Firefox are just two of many options if you need flash.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk HD

Newest Adobe Flash apk attached. Install with a file manager and run Firefox instead of default browser. Win.

Yes I still do this but soon it is not going to work ... as its been a year since they said they will stop Development. .. soon the real world will have to catch up by using html5
It may be when kit kat comes out that it may stop working
