I finally got dual boot working.

That doesn’t seem to work.

I found it accidently.  There was a post on the Chinese MIUI site about how to flash a Windows Mi Pad to Android.  I was surprised when I loaded it to see that it was pure AOSP.  From there, I had to figure out how to install Google Apps because the normal Mi procedure didn’t work.

I’m not a developer.  I just like to tinker.  Eventually I figured it out and others helped.  Now there is a reasonably straightforward procedure.

It all works and it works well.  I’m not going back to MIUI.

I’m running it.  It is basically perfect. Read the MIUI forum post. There is now an easier way to install it. It can be rooted now too.

<!–more–>The AOSP ROM that I loaded has HDMI Settings.  I don’t have a USB-C HDMI adapter so I can’t test it out.

I’m looking for a volunteer or two to try this out.  Here is a link to the files.

Thank you.

I was able to get the files.  I’d like to try to dual boot Windows and Android.

I was able to boot into the efi settings.  You can do this either through Windows recovery, or, if you have a usb hub with a keyboard, upon boot.  If you are very lucky, F2 will get you into EFI upon boot.

There is no legacy bios mode that I can see but you can disable secure boot.  Don’t do this though because if your windows files are encrypted you won’t be able to boot into windows without reenabling it.

I’m looking for a good dual boot tutorial.  It should be possible because we have two OSs that are made for this tablet.
