Maybe you could use virtual machine for this. [emoji6]

I may also try it. The thought of android on my PC is hard to resist. However, it could slow things down on my laptop. Because it's x86, in thinking I can run it on an old XP desktop I have just sitting around.

Nope i can't get it to install in virtual box it say installed successful, but every time I start android x86 in virtual box it take me to the install screen, virtual machine not really supported by windows 10 yet so it got bugs, that could be the problem.

I got a test version of virtual box that fixes some of the W10 bugs.
I was having the same problem as you and it turned out to be a bad iso. I downloaded a different one from Google code and it fixed the problem.

Yes it will run but it won't do the a few things do to resolution. Also verify their are drivers for windows 8 for all components.

Windows 8

I tried to install the Samsung drivers under windows 8 without success. I ended up installing it on a virtual windowsXP machine running under VirtualBox on the win8 machine and it works fine.
I put the phone in download mode and fired up Odin and it recognize the phone.
been on 8 primarily since the dev preview, never had issues. I use the google USB drivers since I'm on ics.

I'm still on Windows XP haha, I meant to upgrade to Win 7 but never did since I can't afford to upgrade my motherboard/cpu/ram/etc. Windows 8 looks promising... but I don't really know how I feel about it looking/feeling like a mobile platform rather than a more 'traditional' desktop feel. Do they let you change it to look like traditional Windows or not?

I tried to install the sdk but it's complaining that it can't find java.exe or the java sdk even though it's installed and jave.exe is right where it says it can't find it. Did you run into anything like that?
EDIT: never mind. I was installing the 64 bit version. the sdk wants to see the 32 bit version.

Questions about windows 8

Okay, I'm using windows 8 release preview x64 on my gateway desktop, and I need some help with a couple things.
First of all, metro apps will not load. I have tried several tweaks around xda and other sites and cannot get anything more than the app preview screen coming up for just a second, then closing. I have an ATI Radeon 5450HD graphics card, running proper amd catalyst drivers for windows 8, and all settings are correct.
Second, has anyone been able to get dfs tool working on windows 8? I've tried installing it in compatibility mode for windows XP, Vista, and 7, all with no luck.
Any help with either issue would be greatly appreciated... And sorry this isn't in a Q&A section, but I couldn't find Q&A forum for windows 8. TIA...

I have my Win 8 running in a VMware virtual machine. I noticed that Metro apps will timeout loading if it is taking too long.
The app eventually loads but does so minimized. Check your left side to see if it is running.
If you are seeing a lot of your apps doing this, you may need to upgrade your computer to something faster.

I understand that... But not a single one of the metro apps will start. They just bring up an app preview screen, then it drops to the background, and the app never actually opens.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I'd just reinstall. You have something wrong. Did it ever work? Maybe go back to a better point in time with System Restore.
You are logged in with a Live account, right? You can't load Metro apps with a local account (to my knowledge). You have to log on with a Live account.

Yes, every metro app has 15 seconds to load, if it doesn't, them it will end.
i think you should reinstall the graphic driver and try this

Windows 8 didn't run properly on my laptop too, had some papercuts as well. The specification requirements for Windows 8 are equal to those of Windows 7. If you can run Windows 7, you can run Windows 8. So, it's all just a bit of patience before RTM and the final release become available.

[Q] Ubuntu for n7?

I know that Ubuntu doesn't really have any plans for any devices, but I was wondering, what are the chances we get ubuntu available as a dual boot for our tablet ? Since it's an open tablet that would be good and since it's a pretty strong device it might work no? Anyone know how we would find out about this or be able to request it/donate to the cause?
I think there are already ways to do that, make a search, I've heard that it was possible

i've heard of installing some linux on it, but the ubuntu team wants to sideload ubuntu onto our phones (or tablets) so that when we dock it it will display the ubuntu desktop UI and it would have all our installed apps and messages and such on it running from the phone/tablet

It's not 8.1 exclusive but it is W8Pro version exclusive, and he said he has the regular version. It's a shame because I use it and it works flawlessly.

Ah. My bad. Posting stuff too hastily. To at least add some value to this post:
I'm using teamviewer as well. Works really really well, and it's perfect if you have many devices since you can log in to connect to other previously connected devices.
