just tested on my pc and it works fine on C:

try this:

open cmd as Admin

type: chkdsk.exe c: /f

when ask you about schedule scan for the next Reboot type Y and press enter

Restart your PC and Select Windows

Now the Disk Scan will start

when finish reboot again and try Android

:)

I Think there is an app in your computer clean up temp folder during installation process.

try reinstall.

also give me the name of Android iso file

hey there,

I am using a lenovo x230t - with intel hd4000 - and can't get it to dual boot. (it was dual booting with grub but not with the easy installer but with a live usb stick made with lili usb creator)

I'm using a 4.2.2 build which completely works (and has libhoudini for arm implemented and gapps) from tabletsx86.org (site seems to be down atm) but the only reasons I'd like to use easy installer is the bigger data partition as it was restricted to 2047mb and because I like a modified mbr more than grub :D

The problem is that it is straight booting to win 8 x64 rather than showing me any options. Any solutions for how to force the entries?

edit: simply replacing data partitions didn't work. probably due to vold.fstab right? dirty flash/reinstalling with a replaced data image works. still not your installer that I'm using but at least it is a work around. ;)

The Installer still not support UEFI Devices

I know there is different ways to boot systems like linux on UEFI

but i want to do it , in clean and simple way

Thank you :)
[Android Software Development] lolmensch:
Uhm afaik UEFI is only supported on my device but not forced. I also have the regular legacy boot. (my notebook is actually a win 7 one which just plays nicely with win8) so afaik I don't have a uefi device.

[Android Software Development] ExtremeGTX:
if Chameleon chainload Windows Boot Manager then i think it will work.

give it a try and tell me

Thank you :)

try launch Debug Version and see what's going on

if you get alot of "VFS could not find a valid v7 on sda"

try this:

from Windows 8

Open "Computer" and Select Android partition [the partition you have selected in Installer]

then right click -> properties

select tools then "Check Now"

if problem not solved

then try "Android-x86-4.0-RC2"
[Android Software Development] lingowistico:
Well it is an "open-source EFI bootloader project for BIOS-based x86 systems", but I don't think it chainloads Windows Boot Manager..

That is just a wild guess though.
[Android Software Development] ExtremeGTX:
ok

BTW, Installer just add new boot entry to Windows Boot Manager

if you try you will get one of two things

1. Just Windows Boot

2. Windows Boot Manager will ask you to select an OS to boot
[Android Software Development] lingowistico:
Cool, I'll test it and report back!
[Android Software Development] lolmensch:
didn't work. I've tried 4.0 a while ago but my wifi module is not supported hence the build isn't really good to use for me. But thanks anyway, maybe there will be another build + bootloader in the future ;) as of know I'll have to use the standard grub bootloader. at least it was easy to get a 32gb data partition with your installer so it was a help in a way :good:

[Android Software Development] Ph0enix_216:
Hello all!

I've been trying to install Android (x86) onto my HP Sleekbook 15" for the past week, without a whole lot of success. By chance, I stumbled upon this handy little tool. I ran the installer using an iso of Android 4.2. After waiting a while, it told me that Android was installed successfully. However, whenever I reboot, and select Android as an OS, I get an error telling me that I'm missing the file "\Android\boot\grdlr.mbr". But when I boot back into Windows 8 and navigate to where "\Android\boot\" is, I see the file right there.

Am I missing something? Or should I just run the installer again?

Also, why is Norton flagging this as malware? Simply because it makes system level changes?

EDIT: Okay, I reran the installer using the iso for Android 4.0. Same issue--the system can't find grdlr.mbr. Yet I can still see it right there in Windows File Explorer.
[Android Software Development] svemprala:
I think that's because you have an EFI system.
[Android Software Development] Ph0enix_216:
I do. Is there any way around this? I want to run Android on my laptop so bad, without the use of an emulator.
[Android Software Development] svemprala:
This installer doesn't support EFI. I suggest you take a look at Android-IA at

https://01.org/android-ia/downloads

which has a UEFI specific installer (try the 4.2.2 ia3). I haven't tried it yet, because I am waiting for an OTG adapter, but if you do have one, and you have a Windows recovery drive ready, I suggest you give it a shot.

[Android Software Development] ExtremeGTX:
I think you have a Windows 8 laptop which use UEFI and SecureBoot

till now these devices are not supported

if you want to change Boot options permanently, open c:\menu.lst and make whatever changes you want :)

The installer automatically detect the available graphics card configuration and set the required parameters.

if you want any other advanced options please post them :)

The partition is just a file on the disk, it is not a real dedicated partition.

The Installer automatically create a file called data.img and format it as ext4 (linux file system)

There is progress on solving UEFI solution? I got a Asus Vivobook and I'll like to install Android x86 on it.

Hi @ExtremeGTX,

Your work is really precious.. I think your app is the easiest way to install Android on Windows installed PCs. Today i installed "android-x86-4.4-r3" on my PC over "Windows 10" with your "Android Easy Installer v1.2" and it seems working.. :) I haven't tested all the features and the components one by one but at least i could able to install Android without issues.

I think lots of people wait for your UEFI supported Android Installer app. If you could do it we will really appreciate it. I have an Acer Iconia W4-820 tablet with UEFI system and i tried many different methods that i could find on the net, but i couldn't able to install Android on my tablet till now. It always give error.. So, my request is if you are still developing on this area and if you have enough time, making your app compatible with UEFI, would be a perfect work. And i think if you could achieve this project, your app will be trendtopic app in development sites and it will be a really useful app for lots of desperate tablet owners that are not able to install Android on their tablet yet.

Thanks in advance.. And good luck during your developements..
[Android Software Development] ExtremeGTX:
Thanks for your support and your comment, appreciate this :)

Actually i started working on UEFI support, the goal of this app to install Android-x86 without corrupting device boot process.

The problem about UEFI support can be divided into 2 points:

1. Android-x86 team add EFI Linux Kernel (Done, Thanks to the team)

2. Chainload Android from Windows boot manager (Complex to solve)

Till now what i have reached is making UEFI call grub instead of windows boot manager, and user will get two options (Windows, Android).

This solution is working but it is not safe and grub may fail to boot on some devices, maybe we can have new installer release (for UEFI Devices) after a lot of testing and it will be for specific devices which have been tested and has no issues at all.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to devices like Surface 2/3 or Acer Iconia. just testing on my UEFI PC and this is not sufficient test.

Thanks :)
[Android Software Development] lawyer_06:
Thanks for your response and for all your efforts..

It is very good to see that you are still working on this project.. I wish wholeheartedly you succeed.. Because as i said before, your app makes the Android installation on Windows process really easy and without any problem..

Good luck, and please inform us on every new progress you have succeeded.. Because lots of tablet owners that want to install Android on Windows, wait something easy like your app impatiently..

Thanks..

[Android Software Development] ExtremeGTX:
I think the GPU Boot options isn't correctly set.

when you get that black screen (GRUB Bootloader) press 'e' to edit the boot command-line then do the following:

Try add or delete one or both of the following option to kernel command line:

nomodeset

xforcevesa

Example:

Before modification

kernel /Android/kernel root=/dev/ram0 USE_SQUASHFS=0 quiet androidboot.hardware=eeepc acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode SRC=/Android

After should be

kernel /Android/kernel root=/dev/ram0 USE_SQUASHFS=0 quiet androidboot.hardware=eeepc acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode SRC=/Android nomodeset xforcevesa

Uninstall:

open Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Android

if you still have the boot option, do the following:

open cmd as admin

type: bcdedit.exe

you will see identifier of Android Boot Entry (something like: {xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxx})

now type: bcdedit /delete {xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxx}
