blondebro, first, if you're using the android-x86 image made specifically for the T100, get the latest general R2 image, instead. It appears to have everything that that older T100-specific image has, but is newer and also has an installation option in the boot menu. Get it from http://www.android-x86.org/.

Next, try this guide to installing Android-x86: http://apcmag.com/how-to-run-kitkat-on-your-pc.htm/

Note that I haven't actually done this, myself, yet. I've done only the Live boot option, so I can't help more than this.

One reason that I haven't done it yet is that I don't want to go to all of that work only to find that I can't boot into it (or Windows, if I make it auto-boot to Android) without having the keyboard attached. I was disappointed to find that the hardware buttons don't do anything on the boot menu. Does anyone know a solution?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] blondebro7:
Thanks for the point in that direction:)

unfortunately the EFI boot is giving me grief when using unenboot. i had to use rufus to be able to get it to boot up. also for whatever reason the install keeps freezing on me. either when formatting the hard drive prior to installing android or after the image file is made during installation.

hmmmmmmm
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Ciclop:
Hello, I just got the T100 and would like to install/boot android on it in order to play games. After reading the OP, I'm quite confused and unsure about everything. Is there a way to boot an android onto the T100? And if so, is it smooth, or laggy?

Thank you!
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] JoinTheRealms:
Its basically not worth doing unless you're only doing it to test. Its not functional until we get better upstream support in the linux kernel.

Specifically, driver support is flaky at best, with a major issue of kernels past 3.16 have an issue with hard locking up under disk load (as of 4.0 r2 this isnt resolved). Kernels before 3.16 have even worse driver support, with only core functions working.

I don't know if i'm late... but I managed to get the Windows 8.1 x64 installer run on my T100TAM. It's running now, I'll report it back when installation is complete. I fear it won't work but i'll try.

Report back:

Installation went till the first required reboot, won't boot. Blinking light, system can't find the 32 bit efi boot file. Where do I put the 32 bit efi boot in the C drive?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] .andreas:
The UEFI folder is on a hidden partition, if you have a running windows installation you can follow this guide: http://superuser.com/questions/6628...-windows-8-1-so-that-it-is-readable-and-write
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
Thank you I'll try to work on from there.

If I can make the 32 bit efi also work on the installation I can run windows 8 x64

What I find a bit strange is how they release x64 drivers for the tablet but it can't run x64 officially.

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] al3000:
How do you managed to boot the installer since it claim that processor is not x64 compatible ?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
I booted into recovery mode, and ran the setup.exe in the resources folder with CMD (which is x86) and ran the installation like that.

Unfortunately I haven't found a way to make it bootable after that because it doesn't pick up the x86 EFI partition and thus shows a black screen with a blinking light.

The problem (I think) is that the x86 EFI really doesn't allow to run any sort of x64 software. If that's the case there's no way we're gonna run Windows x64.

We need some sort of legacy boot but that option isn't in the BIOS.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] feduss:
But why do you want an x64 OS if t100 has only 2gb of ram?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
To get certain programs run. Some programs don't run on x86 so I'd like to have x64.

Yes I was aware that the tablet ran x86 when I bought it, but it was more of a "if it works I'll use it like that if it doesn't it ain't a problem"
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] feduss:
I understand....keep us updated about your progress pls ;)

so, everything works and i can dual boot it with w8.1?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] dvijetrecine:
well, there are some things that are not working, but you can install it and use it. sound is working, wifi, brightness is adjustable but not auto, and hardware acceleration which is important for me. things like bluetooth, auto rotation and camera doesn't work. for me, it is good enough because i can use it without any lock ups which is more frustrating than non working camera
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] vampirexx:
I cannot install it on internal ssd how did u do it??
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] dvijetrecine:
well, process is a bit on a longer side and you need to have some knowledge with cmd and linux

first, i found out that installer which comes packed with this android didn't do the job right. Then i downloaded the other, older img file which have good installer and replaced all other files with the ones from the rar file i posted here.

After that, i formated one usb stick of 2 gb to ext2 and choose it for installation of android. then you have all files extracted on your usb stick.

now go to linux machine, or some good win partition program and make ext2 partition on your ssd more than 2gb in size.

buuut you don't have working bootloader... then we need to boot to windows and mount efi partition. for that, you need to open elevated command prompt and enter diskpart

then select disk 0

after that select partition 1

and in the end, assign letter=h (or whatever other letter you have available)

then we exit diskpart, type exit

then type taskkill /im explorer.exe /f

after that type explorer.exe

then we copy grub.cfg and two efi files from usb we firstly created, not the other one with installed android to efi partition.

now you will need to edit grub which you copied so it can boot android which you will copy to partition you made before. i don't remember exactly what needs to be edited in grub but you must edit it to get android to boot.

oh, and there is app for windows, easy uefi. pretty handy app to select your new android efi files so you can boot later

that should be it. if you don't figure out the part with grub, i'll post my grub.cfg
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] vampirexx:
Thanx for the info, it would be amazing if you could post a working version that do all automatically all steps to have a working Android, without touch prompt. I'm noob and at beginning. Hope you can make it buddy
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] dvijetrecine:
i don't know how to make it automated, but when i catch more time, probably this weekend, i'll write a whole tutorial :)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] dvijetrecine:
so, you just copied all files, didn't install anything?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] dvijetrecine:
i assume that you know that system.sfs is mounted read-only, and you can't install any app that writes in system folder. don't know about others, but i am not fan of read-only system :eek:
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] dvijetrecine:
but if you install it on ext2 formated usb stick, and later extract to ext2 partition on tablet, you have root and read-write system which is needed to use google play store, or xposed.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] dvijetrecine:
i think that we let the people choose what method they wanna use. full install like mine, or yours, with minimal partition editing.

but i have one question i hope you could answer. how to edit or delete blkid.tab? it annoys me that whatever i do in init file it still mounts two partitions from blkid. i tried to edit bllkid via terminal emulator on android, and even via linux, but on reboot it restores blkid to what it was before editing
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] cheatman:
Hey guys,

I just released a "T100 Magic Stick" that allows booting live into Ubuntu and Android alike. I made it for myself so I can update, debug and maintain stuff, but feel free to test it out.

Unzip the package with 7zip, as it was compressed real hard and Windows has trouble processing it correctly.

Intel's Android on Intel Platforms - 32-bit version

Anyone want to try this (Intel's Android on Intel Platforms compiled to support a 32-bit environment) to see if it works on an ASUS T100? Runs on the Meegopad T01 and Minix NEO Z64W which are Intel Atom (baytrail) Z3735F based CPUs with 32-bit bootloader so might work. See https://plus.google.com/+IanMORRISON/posts/6SuS8rcQbVM for details and link for image download etc. Note: very much WIP so YMMV.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] cheatman:
It goes through the bootloader (looks like grub2), then some disk activity and a blank screen. Then nothing.

Hard to debug or report findings without STDOUT...

Cheers,

C.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] dvijetrecine:
it's in /etc/blkid.tab and i found out that when i type blkid in android terminal it populates blkid.tab with all the entries it shows in terminal...

i went through init.x86 to change it to mount other partitions, like windows and sdcard partition, but all i could do was add mount_nfsd_fuse to mount partitions i wanted but couldn't remove system and recovery to not mount.

well, tehnically i did removed them but it still shows me that i have blank/unsupported sd card even though it is not mounted (then i manually unmount recovery r/o partition through system app, and voila, no more blank sd card. it's little annoying to do it every few minutes when i test something and restart) and in settings under storage it shows like it is mounted, but not standard 7 gb partition yet 0.93 gb partition. and that shows for every partition i unmount on boot which is mounted by default.

it grinds my gears every time i restart and see the problem is still there -.-
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Linuxium:
Thanks for trying. On one device I had to boot it a couple of times before the screen came up for the first time. Seemed to be related to being a first boot and possibly due to the setting up the required partitions on the (admittedly rather slow) USB I'd used. Not being able to replicate the issue either doesn't help! I think I need a ASUS T100 device to continue any further.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
This is great but how do i get gapps?

There's no recovery mode...

EDIT: I might get Gapps working myself, but wifi problem is still there: It keeps dropping wifi all the time and disabling/enabling wifi causes it to crash.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] dvijetrecine:
here's the gapps installer, it worked for me. just download, install and reboot. now you should have a working gapps

https://www.dropbox.com/s/f2ljl13kdpum2m0/GAppsInstaller.apk

yeah, i got that problem with wifi too, you need to add static ip address to get it working
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] vampirexx:
Please dvijetrecine can you fix the partition screen inside the iso, so we can easily install it into internal ssd please? It would be marvellous, i dont want windows only android
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
Thanks a lot will try this afternoon :)

I used [MENTION=4857012]feherneoh[/MENTION] 's way and it works fine. The only problem is no read/write system partition.

With his permission I can make a video tutorial if someone wants to
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
Okay thanks

EDIT:

On the magic stick build I am unable to turn on WiFi.

It just keeps saying "To see available networks, turn Wi-Fi on." and when I press the button to turn on wifi nothing happens. The button moves to "on" but as soon as I leave the settings menu it's off again.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] KingLegend:
Could you please post your grug.cfg?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] JoinTheRealms:
Do you have a T100 that isnt a T100TA? I've read people have issues with wifi on T100TAL devices, possibly requiring different firmware.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
Yes I have the t100tam. (Different CPU and 2gb ram as far as I'm aware)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
When I have time I'll look what kind of WiFi hardware is in my tablet, but I actually expected them to be the same.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
Okay there might or might not be a small graphical issue:

It looks kinda cool tho
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
I fixed the graphics issue, game runs fine now but can anybody tell me how I can keep the wifi from failing? It is very annoying that I need to reboot the tablet every 10 minutes because wifi keeps dropping and turning wifi off and on doesn't work.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] hillbeast:
It's caused by using the wrong firmware. I had this problem on my T100, the firmware that most people use isn't compatible with my tablet, so I had to find another one elsewhere. Don't ask where as I don't remember where I found it.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
I have no idea where to look for the driver, but how did you install the driver? I don't know how to install drivers to android x86
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
Could you possibly share your installation? I am stuck right here as everything is working except for wifi making the thing unusable :(
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] hillbeast:
Just follow this.

https://linuxnorth.wordpress.com/2014/08/28/establishing-wi-fi-connectivity-on-the-t100/

When it refers to '/lib/firmware...' you'll be looking for '/system/lib/firmware...'.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
Will try thanks a lot :)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
I can't get this working...

I'll wait untill Console OS releases their version..

It's the best option I get I think.

Scrap that I somehow magically made wifi work.

And I also got Gapps to install and play store to open.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] maelever:
now it's possible install windows 10 x64? the new bios accept the 64bit?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] hillbeast:
I wasn't even aware there was a new UEFI. If there is, I doubt it adds 64 bit support but I could be wrong.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] matthewak:
can someone point me to a guide on installing android on my t100? i've tried the live usb stick, and it worked well, but i would like to be able to save my configuration/setup within the android os and boot without using usb if possible too. thanks!

how to create a data.img from the "build" in magic stick file? thanks,
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
I don't know if this is legal, but I can post my Android images.

I got one with working Gapps and optimized wifi drivers for T100TAM.

Should work on any T100TA(x) device.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] blackdot:
Sharing android image should be legal, not sure what about if gapps are included. As CM had an issue with it. Anyway if you will share it, I will definitely try it. Is it still 4.4 or 5.X?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] dvijetrecine:
sooo guys, here is a better working installer, not sure about grub2 install, but it recognizes all partitions on internal mmc :D

and this is not my work, just sharing, all credits to original author.

ps. i suppose you know what to do with this file, just paste it on the usb stick where is your android installation
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
I will share my images as soon as possible, they work perfectly for the T100TAM.

(2gb ram version)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] vampirexx:
Thank you guys please share a working image with all fix, buttons, wifi and all, and please make it installable on internal sd of ASUS T100 thx!
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] domini99:
Hello everybody,

This are my images, confirmed working on T100TAM, this build includes alternate wifi drivers for people who have the issue if wifi not turning on and it contains Gapps.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8jVq7lqQUtvcU9ZYXNGRmlzTkE/view?usp=sharing

NOTE:

The image is compressed extremely small using 7zip.

I recommend extracting the zip with 7zip :)

In order to install this to your internal SSD (hard drive) you do the following:

Step 1: Partition your hard drive

Make a seperate partition on your hard drive, with a minimum size of 1.5gb

You can do this by using the built-in partition manager.

Go to start, type "partition" and click on "Create and format hard disk partitions"

Now click on your main partition, ( C: ) and select Shrink Volume

Wait for the querying to finish.

Now set the amount of space to shrink to what you want.

Format as FAT32 and call it anything you like. I called my partition Android.

Step 2: Install Android

What you do, is extract the .7z file you downloaded to the partition you just created.

Step 3: Create a data.img

Now you download toporesize, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824154

Special thanks to Viper Matrix Wireless

After you have done this, extract toporesize anywhere and run the toporesize .bat file.

Select Create New, navigate to your Android partition and type "data.img" in the File Name box. (without quotations)

Drag the slider to the the size of the size you want the image to be.

The data.img acts as your virtual sd-card

Now click the "create file" button in the lower right corner, and wait for the process to finish.

Step 4: Make Android bootable

Download EasyUefi: http://www.easyuefi.com/

After you have installed EasyUEFI open it.

Click on "add boot" (the icon that looks like a calculator with a + sign)

In "Type" change it to Linux.

Select the Android partition

Now click "Browse" (may appear as Brower due to a typo)

Navigate to \efi\boot and select gummiboot32.efi

Give your boot a name in the "Description" box. Call it Android or something

Hit OK

and hit OK again.

You should now see your Android boot option added to the list.

Done!

Now in order to boot android, shut down windows and wait for a couple of seconds untill your tablet has turned off,

Now press the power and the volume down key at the same time, and once the tablet has turned on release the power button but keep pressing down the volume down key.

You should now see a menu that says "Please select boot device:"

Keep pressing volume down untill you have selected android, and hit the "start" key.

Android should now boot :)

I will later update this post with screenshots in case neccesary, have fun with it!

If you have a question or this tutorial doesn't work for some reason tell me.
