I use haswell-generic, since i have a 4th gen Intel CPU. From a search of the internet you seem to have the 3rd gen Intel CPU. If you download and start the ivybridge-generic image, you should be fine.

And for possible misunderstandings: I am active on this thread without having a Iconia device, because this seems to be the only place on the internet discussion Android-IA at all.

Which Proccesor

Hey guys i want to buy one of these Acer w700 tablets and dont know if i should get a i3 proccesor or the i5.. does it make a difference? I would like the i5 but they are quite a bit more $$. And is 64gb good enough enstead of 128?

Also wish the first page of this thread was more informative on setting this up i have no exsperiance with this Windows tweaking stuff.

Hello

Does anyone try and success with the install of android ia ivy bridge 4.4???

I uninstall everything from the tablet to make a clean install pf win 8.1

then i partition with 10GO and install 4.4

it was a success i have the dualboot choice but when i boot on android i'm stuck to a black screen with "android" at the top left

Thankyou
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] cert_:
4.4.2 works on my W701 with automated installation, not with interactive installation. gummiboot loader isn't working with automated installation. i have to choose boot partition in bios. can't get google play store/ google apps to work.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] AxoO69:
hello

I think the problem with my w700 is that it is a french one so my proc is an i3 2375m (not ivy bridge ?) : it is a 2nd generation ...

Can that be the problem or am i completly out ? :)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] alphamale:
Two questions. I'm trying to boot into windows and I get automatic repair error and windows won't start if I go to advance and restore windows from a point will I lose android partition.

Just thought I'd chime in, I don't know about a guide at the moment, I can probably find one, but if you need any help just pm me. I've hackintoshed quite a few computers, mostly notebooks.

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] jamiethemorris:
It's always possible. It's just a matter of how well it's going to work, how long it's going to take, and how much patience you have.

Hi Guys,

I'm going to give this a try so I read the entire thread to see what kinds of difficulties people ran into and the thread was very helpful (other than the same 1-2 questions being asked on every other page lol...)

I do have a couple questions about removing Android from the tablet. The first couple days I had my W700 I really didn't think I would be keeping it. It ran so poorly with 8.1 running on battery power (bad lag, unresponsive etc) then I found a thread discussing some necessary changes to the power management settings and it runs perfectly now. Now my biggest issue is the lack of storage with the 64 gb drive. If I'm not using the Android I'll probably want to remove it at some point for the space, or to sell the tablet.

Questions:

Back in October there were some questions about deleting the partition created by Android, then end of January Thatgrass mentioned in a post he doesn't recommend messing with the partitions, suggests using the recovery disks for a factory reset. I'm just wondering if the recovery disks completely remove Android? I'm guessing it will still be an option in the Bios Boot Menu? Has anyone completely removed all traces of this and put their unit back to stock?

I'd just like to know I can put the tablet back to the way it was new out of the box.

Thank you!
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] alphamale:
Where did you find the info regarding the power Manger to make it run better
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] gtp20:
A couple little changes in the power management setting in the control panel fixed the terrible performance when on battery power:

Edit the Power Plan Settings > Change advanced power settings > Intel Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework Settings > Low Power Mode Setting and change from enable to Application Specific or Disable.

Edit the Power Plan Settings > Change advanced power settings >PCI Express > disable

These two drastically changed the performance of my tablet, its runs so much better now.

Also; the screen brightness was an issue for me when I first got it. When I would power it on it would be nice and bright, but almost immediately dim down. Fix for that:

Control Panel Go to Power options > Change Plan Settings > Advanced settings > Display. There is a setting called "Enable Adaptive Brightness". Turn off the setting.

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] gtp20:
Everything working smooth, the only issue I had was installing Chrome Browser. The one from the Playstore is incompatible, I tried a few apk files and this one worked: http://db.tt/67AuEGUI
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] gtp20:
need some guidance,

I had one of the 4.2.2 versions installed and it was working ok. The odd little problem but nothing too major. Was watching a movie the other night, paused it and left for 20 minutes. When I came back the wifi had lost signal and I could not reestablish. Hours and hours I spend and absolutely NOTHING I tried would fix the wifi. The next day after a few more hours I tossed in the towel and removed the Android.

I then decided to install the 4.4.2 Ivy Bridge which installed very quickly. Fired it up and its seems very smooth. The major problem is I can't install anything. First I tried to download a file manager using the stock browser, any APK files the stock browser downloads are converted to .txt files and when I click on them it says (can't open file)

There is nothing included in this copy, no file manager, no way to access anything, no way to install anything. I installed it 4 hours ago and I'm lost. I've tried file explores, cloud drives, other browsers, there os version can not install APK files, so I'm stuck.

I then cleared this android copy and Haswell Generic which would not install. I then re-installed Ivy Bridge again, same problem.

Can anyone help?

8 Hours I've been trying to install the Play Store with no luck.

Every copy of Google Play services just crashes. The old Google Services Framework file on page one times out with message 'Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server'

It seems the more experienced contributors of this thread have moved on... it sure would be nice if someone would offer some assistance since people have been having the same problem going back a few months.

I have some very good new guys : the guys over at android x86 released a build that is superior to the Intel IA versions.

The build is Android x86 4.4.4 r2. It supports the Iconia W700 sensors , wifi, sleep and more importantly it provides ARM support

(YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!).

I will be making a video review very soon.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] jayc137:
Nope. 1 of the problem is that it does not supply enough power to have both a pendrive and a keyboard working. The second issue was that there was no way to change the mode in BIOS :(

Don't want to mess my new Tablet...so will explore what you say later....

this helped me alot ;) i replaced this with the files from akt android-x86 iso and had change some names in the grub config.

edit: dont try to install xposed!! and hw codec video player like mxplayer dont work. everything else is fine!

edit2:

my aktual grub.cfg looks like this.

i replaced the "android-4.4-RC1" from the "howto" with "android-4.4-r2" (in grub and loopback)

if loadfont /boot/grub/font.pf2 ; then
set gfxmode=auto
insmod efi_gop
insmod efi_uga
insmod gfxterm

OK. best new feature! i can hibernate WIndows and on Boot press F12 to enter Bootmanager to boot into Android. on next Reboot i can resume my Work in Windows... really NIZE !!

BUT this works only if external Keyboard is connected :(

-does anyone know how to force Bootmanager without external Keyboard ???

-there is an Option in bios to Boot D2D recovery with VolumeDown on Boot but this doesnt work (i have the recovery partition deleted)). Any Idea how to trick the Bios that it think that Android Partition is the Recovery Partition and Boot Android with VolumeDown?

I tried the installation and resized the win8 partition with Mini Tool Partition Manager, after that Win8 did not work properly. I cleaned my HDD for a fresh Win8 installation, i added Ubuntu 14.04 and with the help of the sony vaio guide installed Android X86 4.4-r2. Everything is working fine. Now i have grub2 to choose my OS at boot time, but it only works with USB keyboards. When pressing the hardware buttons vol+ and vol- you can see that this is sending keys B and C in grub command line. So i have to find a way to modify grub keyboard layout. C should send "key down" and B "enter" to choose the menu entrys. loading keymaps in my grub is not working, nothing happens. i tried "keymap de" in grub command line. if you want to tryout with grub configurations it is important to add GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT ="usb_keyboard". by adding "at_keyboard" grub won't boot anything.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] inteks:
ok. got it working...

1. use gummiboot (from android-ia) as main bootloader. because it support w700 volume down/up

2. because gummiboot cant boot efi's from an other partition. i use for a seperat folder with rEFInd for each menuentry in gummiboot ;)

i set rEFInd to manual and with timeout = -1

(this wont work with grub because grub expect its grub.cfg allways in /boot/grub/grub.cfg)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] inteks:
problem is when reboot then w700 send b(volup) ,c(voldown) BUT when shutdown and start again. the w700 send up/down cursor keys ....

btw. cant get rEFInd to boot up android :( i allways get the msg "Invalid Loader File"

so i use gummiboot as main bootmenu -> grub2 to load android. and -> rEFInd to load Windows 8.1

now i can Hibernate Windows and play some game in Android and go back to Windows to resume my work :D feels like 2 Tablets now !!!

edit: attached my current bootconfig as sample. maybe you have to edit the configfile because your partitionnames/layout is diffrent

configs ->

E:\loader\entries\*.* (main bootmenu gummiboot)

E:\boot\grub\grub.cfg & E:\boot\grub\loopback.cfg (android)

E:\rEFInd_Windows\BOOT\refind.conf (windows)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] inteks:
my partitionlayout...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] cert_:
Ok i modified my post above, everything is working now. when no USB-keyboard is connected vol+ and vol- sends GRUB_TERM_KEY_HOME and GRUB_TERM_KEY_END. when USB-keyboard is connected vol+ and vol- sends B and C :p now i can triple boot win8.1, ubuntu14.04 and android x86 4.4-r2 without USB-keyboard and with grub2 boot-manager.

I followed your guide word for word and got the android OS installed on my tablet. But your instructions to get Google play store installed doesn't work for me.

When I get to copy the framework apk to the system/app folder, super user asks if I want to let it do that and I select yes. After saying yes it fails to copy anyways.

anyone tried android x86 6.0 on W700 / W701?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] cert_:
update: i had some space left on my partition so i installed latested android x86 6.0 RC1 on it. it works very good, bluetooth is working. youtube and chrome works. tested angry birds 2 and dead trigger 2 without any problems. play store is already preinstalled. there is an option to make arm apps running on x86 but i dont know which app is arm only so i didn't test it. make sure to format partition to ext4!
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] cert_:
just a short info for the users who didn't try android because of the dirty installation process: the newest android x86 has an installer for easy installation. you can copy the ISO to USB with the tool "unetbootin". make some space behind your windows 8.1/ 10 partition with a partition manager. try to boot the android x86 ISO from an USB stick and install. the latest ISO can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/android-x86/files/Testing/. one problem: your w700 buttons can NOT be used to choose the OS at boot time so you need an USB keyboard. you have to compile grub with modifications on the source code (see my earlier posts) to get the buttons working.
