[Q] Strip down windows 8 for cr-48?

I recently put windows 8 on my cr-48 and it runs nice but with its tiny ssd, you get 2gb of space. I was wondering if there was anything that could be stripped out to get maybe 3-5gb out of it?

Did you use the 32 bit version? That one is smaller.
You can disable hibernate and delete hyberfil.sys. You can also decrease your page file size. Turning off system restore might also save space.
If you don't use the stock metro apps, delete the contents of the "c:\program files\windowsapps" folder. Refer to my other guide I posted in windows 8 dev/hacking.
Yeah, I do use some metro apps but I did the other things. What about language packs?

Does it have an SD or microSD slot
Other than that upgrade the hdd with a bigger one.
It does but I am unable to get one.

Will apps purchased in W8 PC install for free on W8 RT tablet?

If I buy an app in the Windows 8 Store on my PC, can I install the same app on my tablet without having to buy it again? Do my purchases get transferred to my tablet? Do purchased apps automatically get synced across PC and tablet?
Thanks!

Yes, they will. The downloads are linked to your Live account, and not to the computer.
Also, free apps on the Previews will be free on the final RT as long as you've had them installed previously, so download what you want now

Activating Gestures on old laptops

I have a Dell Inspiron 1121/11z and Dell hasn't updated their drivers since May. What are the alternatives to override the PS/2 Synaptic Touch pad to activate gestures until Dell, if they ever do, update the drivers (never buying Dell again buying a ASUS next time!). Is there a program? I tried Scribe and it doesn't work.
I have Windows 8 Pro fully activated.

download the synaptics driver from here, version 16.2.16.2 (N-C). I don't know what N-C means but I'm like you, using a 4 year old fujitsu laptop which definitely has no further support from Fujitsu. It works though. Swiping from left, top and right borders. Alternatively, you can check back to synaptics official website every now and then to get the latest drivers. I just checked though and the most recent one was optimized for windows 7. They should be coming out with something for windows 8 soon, hopefully.

I installed it and at first it said there was an error and I had to click yes to uninstall it. Uninstalled it. After running it again after the restart I got the same error (see picture below).
I ran it with administrator rights. Same thing. I guess I have to wait for the Windows 8 version or did I do something wrong? How do I enable gestures after running this?

hmm i didn't get any error. don't need to run it with admin rights. if u still get the same error, just uninstall it first then go to synaptics official website to download and install the universal drivers for windows 7. after that restart and try installing the 16.2.16.2 driver again.
Synpatics have uploaded there 16.2.21 Drivers for Windows 8 as well now.
Synaptics Drivers Page
Tested them and they work perfectly on my dying Netbook! No swipe from top feature but that maybe as the touchpad is too small
Thanks!

Swipe from the tops works on my 1121! It does what right clicking used to do on metro apps! Thank you!

synaptics link is dead, can anyone mirror?
You can try this link (but it is quite slow...) :
http://fichiers.touslesdrivers.com/...Vista32_Win7-32_XP64_Vista64_Win7-64_Win8.zip
Hey guys,
I have fixed the link and it nows directs you to Synpatics Driver page so the link will stay alive forever now
Also swipe from the top works on my netbook, its just as the netbook is so small, its quite difficult to do it as the spacebar is very close to the touchpad

The download link seems to be broken.. Can you mirror it? the mirror provided earlier is too slow and keeps dying.

Office mobile

All, hey. I see Microsoft finally blessed us with some free office. Working good on my HTC one but not available on play store with n7? What's up with that? Is it possible to get this on the n7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It works (as far as I can tell), just find the apk and send it via Bluetooth to your tab and install.
Yes, it works! Use "app backup and restore" to grab the apk file from your phone and use that to install it on your n7.

Any link to download Microsoft office for n7?

You can use the App Market Helper to make the playstore think your tablet is a phone, I just checked and Office Mobile app shows up on my tablet.

Yep. It works. Makes you wonder... Why not just put on play store if it works this good? I heard they might make a special section in the store just for n7. Hope to see that one day
Thanks all

I'll give office a try but I have Office Suite Pro 7 and it works awesome and has for a few years. Millions of downloads and it gets given away from time to time too. http://www.androidauthority.com/officesuite-pro-7-review-197648/

This, I've had office suite pro for a while now and haven't had any complaints.
When I browse office mobile page in playstore, it says only compatible with Nexus 4. Says, not compatible with kindle hd and nexus 7. Same thing for Amex mobile. May be i can extract the apk of amex mobile from my nexus 4 and see if it works with my nexus 7.
+1 for office suite pro
Kingston and Quick Office are my favorites.

Why MS is not porting Office to Android tablet devices ? They just do it on iPad ...
