I need to buy android tablet. I need your suggestions for the best choice.
hey guys , i've heard about this project console OS ,
add kickstarter host to the start of this or google it -> /projects/mmv/console-os-dual-boot-android-remastered-for-the-pc
is kickstarter founded and is trying to bring an Desktop experience for android devices X86 and ARM , so i think i would be awesome to have it on MOJO , also it would be android kitkat, the devices they are going to work with depend vote of people so if you are interested we can apply for a 10$ fund to get our MOJO with and awesome android version
what do yo think ?
Mojo is not x86 so no won't happen

Not sure I follow why you would want it on the MOJO, but I did back it several weeks ago when it was around 25k, so I am looking forward to seeing what Console OS will do, specifically for getting Android on windows desktops. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

This is convergence in full effect!
Good post, I wasn't aware of this.
Basically it's a vendor port of Android to some laptops/Tablets.
"We have to build Android for one device at a time"
Limited HW target builds, so it's not like windows/linux, install on anything... but like a mobile custom build.
There's a lot of cheap android netbooks on ebay already... basically cheap phone HW.
"....We're taking the next step, and bringing Android back to the desktop." of cause! lol
This is mainly targeting tablets though, switching between windows and android.
PC support, sounds secondary (too many drivers to rebuild.. thus the voting).
Android, has a small footprint (like winXP) and runs in emulation on a PC just fine.
Not sure why you would want ConsoleOS on mojo... it's already android?

yeah is android almost pure only with a custom windows manager and launcher
read this part
WindowFlinger – A true window manager for Android – run Android apps in windows (Console OS will run two apps side-by-side without Pro)
InstaSwitch – Building a new hypervisor to instantly toggle between native Android and native Windows
Console Remote Access -> Remotely access your Console OS device from any old Android
Additional codecs and media playback support
Native DVR support (planned ATSC, DVB, QAM/CableCARD, & DTCP-IP)
Built-in media serving (UPnP and DLNA)
Console Files – A new file manager we’re building in to the desktop
Console Maps Pro – Premium Maps with Enhanced Turn-by-Turn
also its Kit Kat
also you allow you switch instanly form one SO to other in x86 is with Windows or Ubuntu ,if they do a ARM version is posible to have Ubuntu and Android
acording to the FAQ
What about dual-booting with Ubuntu?
It's our goal to do so - but we had to limit our feature list to the bare minimum that we can shoot for with our initial goal of $50,000 to raise. We actually dual-boot with Ubuntu in the lab, routinely, so it's a matter of when, not if.
As to other flavors of Linux, it'll be based on demand but once we support Ubuntu, most Debian-based flavors should fall into order.
Anyway they dont have a ARM version
i want to install android on ativ 3 , is that possible? , what version do you guys recommend? has anyone tried that? Thank you!
here you can see it
Bump?
Wow, it seems i bought a nono... it seems no one has it or ever heard of it...
It does indeed seem that way. Since it runs "real" Windows you can probably use something like BlueStacks on it? Actually installing Android (and having it work) will require driver support in Android which may not exist; even fairly popular Windows tablet lines like the Surface Pro family have driver troubles in Android.
I've been doing a lot of research on this tablet. Ended up picking up a refurb for $250, and with 64GB I'd like to do a dual boot if possible.
However, looking at Wikipedia, there isn't a single tablet with the Atom Z2760 with Android. They're all running Windows 8.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(system_on_chip)
I'm an amateur developer, finishing up my CS degree this Spring. If someone more experienced than me thinks this is actually possible, I'll look into trying to make it happen. If there are any resources that may be relevant, post them or send me a PM.
I own a Samsung ATIV Tab 3 as well. I have not been using it since after updating to windows 10 it has become extremely slow. On the other hand I really like the pen and its responsiveness.
Have you found any way to install android or another light OS?
Ideally I would like to utilize the device as a digital notepad.
Currently, there are Bliss OS or Prime OS but I am testing Prime OS, I don't expect straightforward and easy installation but let's hope for the best...
@UserBroskyXDA, have you been successfull with Prime OS ? I have windows 10 running on my machine and its extremely slow.
Hey guys,
I'm considering the Acer Iconia Tab W4-820 tablet (8" / x86 Atom Z3740 / W8 / 2GB RAM) since it's really cheap now. It could replace my netbook which would be sweet, but I also need an Android tablet for some work.
Is there a way to dual-boot this thing with both W8 and droid?
Even better, is there a way to dual-boot this thing with some reasonable Linux distro and droid, without W8? Honestly I weren't even looking into touch-capable Linux distros yet.
I've been looking but information seems very scarce or none for this particular tablet. I found someone dual-booting other Acer tablets, and found some Acer support article about being able to boot their tablets into another OS by using a USB-LAN adapter and booting from LAN, but not sure if either of those would work with W4. Also I don't have a USB-LAN adapter so something simpler would be nice.
Thanks in advance for any info.
Yes and no. It depends on what you want. If it's Windows 8.1 and Android, possible.
Do it with your own risk, I'm not responsible for any damage.
Lets get started...
First Acer W4 820 is Bay Trail based, i.e. Atom z3740 is Bay Trail (confirm by searching in Google and navigate to Intel website details on the processor). The tab has 2GB RAM, which is more than enough. An internal space of 8GB is required (to install Android). Backup the existing OS and valuable data as Android installation is slightly unstable (do not worry, very rarely goes wrong but no idea about camera). A laptop or desktop is optional but a good practise.
Now goto the following website and read the guidelines
01.org/android-ia/guides/quick-start
and read the guidelines, it's not listed for this tab, so read general guidelines.
Next goto the following website
01.org/android-ia/downloads
and download the required version of Android for "Bay Trail". Follow the steps in the quick guidelines website to install, and you're completed installation.
:angel: An advise, Android is for light usage, not at all like Windows tab.
Thanks. I know the process but in the meantime I gave up on it and bought a cheapo droid tablet instead. I need droid for some work (related to mobile Chrome) and thought the win tablet could be a replacement for my old Eee 901.
But I couldn't find any report about anyone having success with installing an alternative OS on the W4 - quite the opposite in fact, someone reported that the method did not work on W4. And since I definitely didn't want to pay any money just to have a W8 machine, I didn't buy it. Every time I want to buy a mobile computer I decide upgrade of the desktop is a better investment. In this case SSD > tablet.
So my nearest project will be to install some proper Linux on that new droid tablet

With the new yoga tabs set to be released soon, is there ANY chance that Lenovo will UPDATE the old yoga tabs with the new smart functionality? Is it possible that someone here might be able to Port it over with it the new Android pie and smart hub functionality? Would it be difficult to do?
If someone could accomplish this I would DEFINITELY be willing to pay for it!

I would be interested too.. Will probably be some time as the forum hasn't even registered it as a new device yet.
