[Q] From Android to Window 8 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi, anyone know if it is possible to switch from an Android platform to a Windows mobile 8 on the Sprint Galaxy Note 2?

No it wont happen. There is a very slim chance to actually pull it off. And we bought android phones for android. Sell your phone and get a windows phone.

arm windows 8 is proprietary and driver locked... if you pull it off it's illegal and to pull it off you would need to write your own drivers

Not interested in changing from Android to Windows. Just wanted to try it if possible. Thanks for your information.

It was answered in the other thread you posted too. ... no real need to spam the board with the same question because you didn't like the answer

Haha.... but I have no big ego... I'm just participating in the xda-community....by posting this thread.... these apps I thought were very useful... since I find my self using them all the time!... and though I'd share my top 5 with my fellow N7 owners.... you don't have to use any of them if you don't too... as everyone has their own opinion and is different...

Newegg for tablets?

Why does this app show up as incompatible? It's a tablet app it should work!
Anywhere I can just gets the apk to try it out?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Just because it's a tablet app does not automatically equate to compatibility. It could be that the app is dependent on a 10.1" screen or rear camera.
That being said, it seems that the tablet app is far less polished than the mobile app anyway. I wouldn't even bother with it.

Problem with that is apps would get unjust negative reviews from idiots that install apps that aren't compatible with their hardware. Not directing that at you personally... just something that I've seen happen a few too many times.

I agree with the OP in that I would like to see filters replaced by advisements but your point is well taken.
The app developer did not write in the resources for all sizes of devices. Its in a manifest type file that play store reads. The play store does not monitor or control apps or app quality and rather its up to the developer to specify what device its built for.
So short of starting arguments. Email developer of the app. That is the only one who can help.
Good luck.
I did actually, I got a response "we have no information on that item at this time, sorry for the inconvenience".
I know why they filters are in place but it can be annoying. To me a nexus device is the android standard, any application that is relevant should show up in the market, but it doesn't. It's also frustrating in the case of upgrading, like when I upgraded from my aging Samsung Captivate to my HTC Vivid that has twice the power, and yet a fraction of compatibility. I seriously have games that I played on my captivate that won't show for the Vivid. So what your saying is a single core Galaxy S phone with 512mb of ram and an aging power vr sgx540 can play Nova 2 just fine but a Qualcomm Snapdragon s3 with a dual core processor and a gig of ram and an adreno 230 gpu can't? Doesn't make much sense to me.
I am using that as an example but it is a true one. I no longer game on my phone as I use the nexus now but it does seem ridiculous that upgrading to a better phone or tablet can break your compatibility.

That's the thing with the Note (I or II) - they are UNIQUE and every other ecosystem will be jealous until they get their own "Big Daddy" of phones

Buy the HTC HD2 and get a dual Windows/Android boot.
Also the the Exynos chip details being released, the chances of a sd card dual boot could be a reality. The type that might allow WP/Android dual boots.
get an hd2. we even got f'king meego working on it lol.
yeah HD2...my last phone before the Note 2...
No way. All windows phones use snapdragon processors. Someone would have to do some serious hacking to get it working with exynos

Has everyone seen the Samsung ATVIA? Which is similar to the Galaxy S 3.
the Nokia Lumia 920 is a gorgeous phone. If I were a big fan of Windows like the OP I would be all over that. I'd love to see Windows perform well in the smartphone market. More competition the better.
While we cannot get Windows Phone 8 on this device, we can make your phone look like Windows Phone 8. Check out Launcher 7 or Windows Phone 8 launcher. I think there is one for Windows 8 also.

I used my Note 1 with Launcher 7 almost exclusively. But it's oudated now - no small tiles, which would be great on the big screen. I'm waiting.
The Windows 8 mentioned above, if it's the same one I've tried, it's an ad fest (you get notification for ads even with adfree installed, terrible, disgusting app.

Just like project butter, there was a rumor of a Project Roadrunner to optimize battery life. Personally the only things that I looking for is that and a more unified and polished looking OS in terms of design language, colors used etc.
Android is moving in the right direction. They have the momentum. All they need to do is 'dumb' it down a bit and make it 'prettier'. To have some of that 'android is for geeks only' nonsense banished. Maybe have like a BASIC MODE for new users.
I agree that Samsung should not be the company that knows when the release will be available, i think it is Google as they are the developers of Android, so it gets back to Google then not Samsung as they are just a hardware manufacturing partner (one in many, like LG & Sony)
Dont worry about features, Google will come up with surprises, have patience, and enjoy your phone

It's still to early to talk about this..
We'll probably hear about it at Googo I/O in June, with it launching in July with the Nexus 7 2.0.
So, you can expect it to launch for the Note II around December or January/2014.
The only thing I expect from Samsung is to make a iTunes for Android.
However poor might be apple might be in any terms, no one can deny that iTunes is awesome. You can backup easily, restore easily. If these features get unified into kies, I don't think much would be left to complain except for root in Stock rom

Obviously note 3 will have key lime pie, just very exciting to think of what we will have for the future, and where will the new features be, an example would be the multi screen view, that wasn't even announced at the conference, or the note 2 event, yet it is fantastic,

Depends, if Note 3 is already in the works - obviously they will include 4.2.1 first, as there is no 4.3/5.0 available while the manufacturing process is undergoing. One thing is certain though, both Note 2 and Note will get KLP.

Should be fine as is.
You don't need to be stock to swap plans or move devices around to other lines in your account.
The only time you want to revert to stock is if for a warranty repair through the carrier. A lot of times they don't even care but a rom can introduce weird bugs that can be mistaken for hardware malfunctions.
