[Q] Question: Acer Aspire P3 - Windows 8 General

Greetings,
just purchased Acer Aspire P3..Anyone who uses this Device? does this needs to be root/jailbreak? or what mods can we do for this device?
http://www.acer.com/aspirep3/en_US/

Its a normal x86 device, no jailbreak or mods required. Has its own thread somewhere already I think.

i cannot find any thread that says Acer Aspire p3...
anyone can give me the link?

I managed to have Android 4.2.2 Working on my Aspire P3,
I will try to post a tutorial, keep posted

Could you write toturial. Especially how to get to work vol+ vol- when choosing the system during boot.
I did like in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42502143
Everything works except the buttons (vol+) and can not do without an external keyboard to choose the system (win or android).
Thank you.

I managed to install android 4.2.2 but one of the cameras is not working, couldn't edit build.prop, but reading other posts refering to iconia W700, they change DPI from somewhere else. My knowledge and english are limited, if anyone could help will be very thanked. Android runs smoothly on my tablet

Did you try to install Acer's drivers (available on it's website) ?

I've just installed Chromium OS on my P3. If anyone is interested, it's with "cloud ready".
Everything works great (Wifi, Bluetooth, battery, sound, video, touchscreen).
(I haven't tested the cameras yet).

Windows 7

Hey guys,
Reviewed alot of the posts here, but can't find out what the status is with the native functionality of cell modem access on Win 7...
I just got Windows 7 Pro installed (it isn't the beta, or hacked, it's retail), Everything is working (touchscreen, aero, etc...) with the exception of the native cell modem internet sharing.
I do know there is a hack by using the USB tool to get it working, however I'm just curious if anyone has it working the proper way as intended by HTC?
I'm noticing there are no devices missing drivers in the device manager, the HTC control app works fine, and even can control the modem on the snapvue side of things...
But there is still no "virtual" network adapater inside of the Network adapters on the system...
Scratch that...
I'm a tool. My shift has been sitting for 6 months after not being used until today when I decided to upgrade...
Totally forgot the virtual adapter only shows when no other connections are present...
Everything is working now
Hi!
How did you get the TS to work?
I've been trying to get the touchscreen to work with the latest W7 but no soceess. I've followed the guide on XDA and all tips on XDA but no sucess.
Could you maybe write down how you did even if it was just a regular installation? I've reinstalled and all but the ts just won't work!

To be honest, I was an idiot and had a horrible install... Here's what I did if you dare try..
1. Install all the drivers (NOT using compatibility mode and "Run as Admin")
Only a few things worked, it was horrible...
2. Re-installed ALL the drivers, using the list that HTC recomends. Keep in mind that the device manager will show some of the devices as not working, after you install all the drivers in Compatibility mode, along with "Run as admin". Go to the Device manager, and right click on all the problemtic devices and select "Uninstall".
3. Restart the computer, then Aero will start bluescreening and crashing. Boot into safemode (with networking). Go to the device manager and disable both Video card adapater shown.
4. restart and go to Intel's website and download the latest Chipset INF installer, and Video drivers for windows 7. Install the Chipset INI first, then video drivers...
5. At this point I can't remember but I thinnk the touchscreen didn't work. I just ran the Touchscreen installer one last time, and BANG it worked...
Sorry for my horrible instructions, it was a messy install, but everything is working for me now.
Thanks!
I't looks similar to how i've been fooling around with my shift.
Well, at least it's gratifying to know that i may get it to work if keep messing with it

Hi just have a quick question: When you upgraded your vista to Win 7, do you used the upgraded disk or start from the OEM win 7?
I actually didn't upgrade.
I used a Open Business Volume disc I have that was issued to my company. I guess it's the same thing as a retail copy.
I did a fresh install.

Thanks! It is OEM Disk. And one more think are you install the Win 7 pro or the ultimate? Thanks again. I really appreciate your help.
I could be wrong, but I think I did Win 7 Pro
Thanks again...I will try to install win7 pro on mine. I think 7 ultimate for Shift is too much coz the processor itself is only 800Mhz.

Iconia A500 ADB problem

Hello everyone,
last week I picked up Iconia A500 runs Android 3.2. I'm on Windows 7 x64 and I've been developing with my HTC Desire without any problem but when I connect Iconia it doesn't appear on ADB list in Eclipse. I downloaded and installed latest drivers from Acer website, tried different USB ports, uninstall and reinstall drivers, etc. but still nothing happens. There is only Acer ICONIA TAB A500 under Portable Devices in Device Manager but nothing appears under Android USB Devices. USB debugging and Stay awake is on. I've been googling and trying all suggestions but no chance.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry I missed that. Can you see the tab in the windows explorer..?
I had about the same problem when first set up. I think my tab first came up in adb as a long string of numbers. Don't rember what I did. If it pops in I will post back.

Yes I can see the internal sd card as a drive in windows explorer. what is weird I don't have such problem with HTC Desire it's obviously something to do with Iconia.

how are u getting on???
u will need to install Acer adb drivers. the ones u d/led from Acer are only yr USB drivers.
also, Acer does not play well with other mobile device drivers that u have already installed.
Well, I should say that mine didnt.
on yr tab uncheck USB debugging and reboot.
on yr PC uninstall ALL drivers both HTC and Acer reboot PC
connect tab to PC and re-enable USB debugging
open a command prompt and run "adb devices" to see yr devices serial number
once u have the Acer set up running u can reinstall yr HTC drivers.
if u don't see the device number, u might wanna check out this post here which will walk u thru editing the USB .inf files for use with adb.
good luck
Hi,
it decided to start working literally I've done nothing what I'd been doing for days. I unplugged the tab, uninstalled the drivers I downloaded from Acer support site (they are coming with ADB drivers) , restarted PC, reinstalled Acer drivers, plugged in the tab (and little magic powder i suppose ) and Windows said it couldn't find the driver for the device, I pointed to the Acer drivers and bang! it simply started working. I think it's about Windows, as ususal it controls what software you have to use in your computer!!! but because of a bug somewhere in Windows code it stops installing the drivers it prefers and says it couldn't find any driver.
Thank you so much for your help guys.
And if anyone comes across same problem just keep trying with different USB ports by uninstalling and installing drivers, after one point Windows stops resisting and accepts the reality that you want to use the drivers provided by Acer

[Q] Installing android on the nextbook NXW8QC16G

I have a nextbook tablet running windows 8.1 that I got from black Friday. I hate windows 8 and bluestacks won't run on the tablet, so therefore I can't even run my android apps.
Is there a way to install android on this tablet and get rid of windows? I've searched online and came up dry.
Any help would be appreciated.
I also bought one form wally world and would love to run android on it

This is where I got mine too.
Please anyone who can shed some light on this I would really appreciate it. This is a great tablet but windows 8 sucks.
For Bay Trail:
https://01.org/android-ia/ - Intel's build of Android for x86 devices. They have builds available for Bay Trail devices, which according to the specs I found for that device, should work.
It does support running as a live image, which will get it off the ground and running for testing to see if all of the hardware is supported, and an installer to drop the Android setup on disk as necessary.
Installing Google Play and such might be a bit more involved of a task, but it's doable.
Interesting... but how would I get the tablet to boot into the image? since I can't plug a flash drive into it or access a boot menu of sorts how do I do this?
I had a similar question. I got an HP Stream 7 for $80 on Black Friday, and it comes with Windows 8.1. The reviews on amazon were glowing, considering the low price and still running a 32-bit version of Windows 8.
However, I'm not a big fan of Windows 8. Perhaps some day it'll grow on me, but at this moment, I don't find it intuitive.
Since the HP Stream has Intel Atom, I found this page (which apparently I'm not allowed to share). Just do a google search for Atom and kit kat. That gave me an Intel page with some instructions, but it looks like virtualization, as opposed to replacing or dual booting the OS.

This won't work because the tablet doesn't not have enough ram to run an emulator. If that was the case I would just use bluestacks :/

Sounds like it's got a micro-USB port on it - given that the tablet is meant for running Windows, probably an OTG port.
Find a USB OTG cable and you should be able to plug a proper keyboard into it (to get into the firmware) or plug a USB thumb drive into it.
I think the same is true for the Stream 7 (a quick search tells me it's got the same sort of micro-B port on it).
As far as accessing the firmware for either (to do things like disable Secure Boot or change the boot device), I'm not sure - but the documentation for each device should have instructions on how to access the firmware.
For installation - the images I linked above are for direct installation, not running inside of a VM. (I don't think any of the images that Intel provides will run under virtualization because they expect certain hardware to be present that isn't typically provided by any of the VMs out there - graphics being the big one.)
android,ubuntu,windows?

Ditch Windows +1, I bought it with the intention of running XBMCLive on it (I have already tried the windows version of XBMC, Updated the HUGE library I have and it still runs at only 35% CPU usage and 76% RAM usage, so one can only assume that with the "Resource Pig" removed from the device XBMC should be in Idle 99% of the time) I found an article that said that if you press the Vol+ button and the Power Button at the same time it boots into what can only be described as a"Boot Menu" of sorts, which includes booting from Flash disk, DVD rom, etc. Now I just have to find my Micro USB cable to USB to test it out and see if I can destroy it, or alternatively the better option, install the live version of XBMC on to it. IMO this is the smallest form factor Quad core I have seen with HDMI out....... A bit of "Velcro" on the back, stick it to the back of the flat panel tv and hey presto.... XBMC I can't see, but works better than Winblows. If anyone has any info on this, it would be Greatly appreciated.... Before I go and brick the device or something, LoL.

Any way you could do a "How To" on that? It would be great if I also had a backup of the unit before I decided to wipe it and maybe render it useless if something went wrong! Also then I could supply an alternative image for "joeylikesubuntu" or anyone else that is thinking of messing with it and isn't sure if it will work or not. Thanks.

Here my lead.
I recently saw this video in youtube (can't post the link since this is my first post) but video ID is /PG1_2MDYMtk
The specs of the device used in the video are by far surpassing the ones of the NCW8QC16G but I wasn't able to locate any minimum requirements so I think and hope it's doable.
I would only need a Micro USB OTG adapter to be able to plug in a wireless mouse and keyboard (which is currently in the mail).
I could load the installation image into a micro SD and then go to PC Settings\Update and Recovery\Recovery\Advanced Startup(restart now)\Troubleshoot\Advanced Options\ and try to make it boot into bios from there. or try pressing the usual combination of keys in my keyboard upon boot to access bios on a regular computer might work although I fear the chances are slim. Once we get into the boot menu and confirm that we can boot from SD I think the rest would be easy as shown in the video.

that would be great if we can get some form of linux on it if we can figure out how to do so then this tablet would be great perhaps maybe using an old ubuntu recovery might work but that's just a guess and the recovery might have to be in the same format as the windows recovery or file type but that's good that others are working on this

Thx for the recovery image link.
I've tried all the options and I'm unable to get the recovery image to load after extracting them to a usb.
I actually managed to get Win10 build 9926 loaded on my nextbook via the OTG and usb drive. Got the internal wifi working after using a wifi dongle via OTG first then doing and update. Win10 doesn't seem to update drivers like Win8 does.
Also, anyone know what are the drivers for the different hardware on the NXW8QC16?
Sucks that touchscreen, etc don't work in Win10 preview, but it's probably to be expected.
I'm going to try my Win8.1 Pro image and to see if it picks up the drivers then.
Btw, I'm also trying the 64 bit version of Win8.1 since the processor in my tablet says it's 64bit capable and had a 32bit operating system loaded. Yes, I know that I don't need a 64bit OS since the tablet's only got 1GB ram, but while I'm playing around (struggling withit) so why not

[Q] Dual boot Windows and Android possible on LENOVO YOGA 2 TABLET 1051?

I have Lenovo Yoga 2 Tablet 10" with windows 8.1 (1051L)
its hard to use windows 8.1 on a tablet.
can i install Android on my tablet or even better ... dual boot with windows and android possible on this tablet?
it' fantastic. I have yoga 2 10 with android 1050L. It's very speed. but i think the problem is bootloader mods.
I think I would rath:cyclops:er run Android as the primary OS and the run Windows as a VM.

Successfully booted Android 4.4 R3 X86 from USB...
Hey all,
I have successfully managed to boot the 4.4 R3 efi img file from Android X86 on my 1051F. It's working pretty well, very smooth, but pretty much none of the hardware works (GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth, rotation, sound, etc).
Anyone have any idea how we could fix that? The process for getting it to boot is actually pretty easy. You download the img file from the android x86 site, use Rufus to create a bootable USB key (being sure to set it to GPT for EFI). You then need to disable secure boot on the tablet (instructions found various places on the net if you don't know how), shutdown the tablet, connect the USB key via OTG cable to the tablet, hold the volume up and power on. You will get into the NOVO menu. Once there, select boot menu and boot from the USB key (if it's not listed you probably didn't create the USB key in GPT, or it was detected when you powered on).
In order for it to boot into Android, you'll need a USB keyboard connected to select the android option. Alternately, you can just modify grub.cfg to set a default option and a timeout (which is what I did).
I'd really love it if anyone can provide some input on how to fix the missing drivers. Since the 1050 tablet is basically the identical hardware, I would think it should be easy to get the drivers over to this image, but I just don't know how.
Any help greatly appreciated!

I know it sounds basic, but have you tried getting the drivers from here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/yoga-series/yoga-tablet-2-1051
I wanted to do a fresh install of Windows 10 and I got the drivers from this place.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm pretty sure they only provide Windows drivers there. From my experience, Android drivers tend to need to be part of the image you install from, though I'm sure more advanced users could probably add drivers to a live install.
I'll take a look anyway, just to make sure, though.
EDIT: Just checked and, as I thought, only Windows 8 and 10 drivers. Realistically Lenovo don't support running Android on the 1051F, so it's pretty unlikely that they'd ever post drivers like that, unfortunately.

My apologies. I misread the post. I thought you were looking for the windows drivers. I am sorry to have given you unnecessary hope!
What's this got to do with the Tab S?
wanted modified grub.cfg, please share

Hey all,
I have successfully managed to boot the 4.4 R3 efi img file from Android X86 on my 1051F. It's working pretty well, very smooth, but pretty much none of the hardware works (GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth, rotation, sound, etc).
Anyone have any idea how we could fix that? The process for getting it to boot is actually pretty easy. You download the img file from the android x86 site, use Rufus to create a bootable USB key (being sure to set it to GPT for EFI). You then need to disable secure boot on the tablet (instructions found various places on the net if you don't know how), shutdown the tablet, connect the USB key via OTG cable to the tablet, hold the volume up and power on. You will get into the NOVO menu. Once there, select boot menu and boot from the USB key (if it's not listed you probably didn't create the USB key in GPT, or it was detected when you powered on).
In order for it to boot into Android, you'll need a USB keyboard connected to select the android option. Alternately, you can just modify grub.cfg to set a default option and a timeout (which is what I did).

Android x86 issues HP pavilion x2

So I have a HP pavilion x2 10 detachable pc that has been nothing less then a pain in the grass its a lollipop IMG and it'll boot off USB i can get it going but there is no audio and after installation and I take USB out I get a kernel panic it won't let me run fsck it says my fstab file is missing (I can write that myself) but what the hell is going on here? There isn't even adb so its not like I can logcat this I'm bloody stumped
So just find its stock rom and reflash it.....there's nothing you can do ....by the way try to copy-paste adb folder and vold.fstab from any android device...hope this helps but as far as drivers are concerns i guess it is blown and gone case and you have no choice but to reflash or put in service centres....or contact tech support
Its not a actual android or came stock w win 8 I'm trying to convert it
Ive got it.so it is win 8 loaded and you want to use it as android tab.....well you can download the AOSP(Android Open Source Project) stock nexus or any sort of firmware from internet (github,android .com or at any other site) and dont forget to check android version and the SHA1 & MD5 values...........go download it...probably it is .iso or .img file like the way u download in android.........put it ,install or flash it....i guess this helps.or if you have any PC,download change my software android edition...... And connect that tab to PC(ensure rooted and fastboot unlock to prevent any sort of mishap and back it up..) Then tap to start...it will verify the device and then starts downloading os and driver then tab gets reboot and voila.......... ( update :::: visit http://www.android-x86.org/download and download any one of the version.... Here x86 is for the windows ...if it runs windows then any of them will be compatible......)
But DON'T FORGET TO DOWNLOAD PATCH FILES(IF ANY) AND READ THE .PDF AT END CAREFULLY IN ORDER TO ATTEMPT THIS. Hope this help but dont forget to backup and factory reset the device
