do you know what the flashing utility is by any chance now?

and the download for the 5.0.2 img always says to many people have viewed try again in the next 24 hours....if thats the img your using also howd you get the wifi working on that?
[Windows 8 General] lvlrdka22:
Flashing utility?

I haven't used precompiled images in quite a while now.

In the meantime, I uploaded one with 3.18.8 (3.19 was patched from an older branch, apparently he added some patches that don't compile under 3.19 yet) and Mesa 10.4.5.

Mesa 10.6.0 ended up producing text with missing characters.
[Windows 8 General] richardyiu:
thanks lvlrdka22,

Just loaded your 3/6 version to my tablet. Is the auto brightness broken in this version? I can't manually adjust the brightness neither.
[Windows 8 General] lvlrdka22:
Works perfectly fine for me. Autobrightness has never worked for me (it does in Windows).
[Windows 8 General] richardyiu:
I tried to wipe my partition and installed 2/10 version but it failed to start on a03/a04 bios. I see a cursor blanking and won't boot into Android.

Now I put back 3/6 version, but still can't adjust brightness manually at all. The screen is too bright for me and I can't stare at the white for too long.

And also I notice I can't boot into Android without pressing f12 or enter bios. If I don't do neither of these actions, the screen go blank after i select android on the efi menu and nothing happens.

Battery drains rather quickly I think I get 2 hours or less on a full charge.
[Windows 8 General] lvlrdka22:
I'm going to blame that on possible silent hardware revisions on the tablet, because some people can't boot it on either builds and any of the BIOS versions. Things will probably change (hopefully for the better) with additional Mesa updates and the upgrade to kernel 4.0.

Hi lvlrdka22,

I am using your android_x86.iso in "live" mode via usb. But when I save some settings (in android) and restart the system, the settings (in android) automatically changes back to default.

Is there a way to use the android simply via usb and able to save settings, apps, etc.?

-Aman
[Windows 8 General] sscsps:
Install android on the flash drive. Don't use live mode, but install the a android on it.

Hope you got it :)
[Windows 8 General] spastikitten:
can you give a more detailed procedure it fails everytime I try and install from a usb( I have the usb hub and a keyboard and mouse running when installing it....
[Windows 8 General] sscsps:
You don't actually need a mouse for installation process

You will need 2 flash drives, one will be installation media, and other one will be the drive in which you will install it

I guess u get the point

Of you don't get that, tell me, I will try to provide a video tutorial of it with android x86(or Ubuntu, whatever you might want to have it)
[Windows 8 General] elixir_pr:
Can you please post the video tutorial you are talking about, with Android x86.
[Windows 8 General] spastikitten:
yeah that video would be great also i cant find the updated img any where... if some one can point me to it that would be great

---------- Post added at 06:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 AM ----------

Am i able to do this in ubuntu or do i need fedlet on a usb aswell..?

ohhhh and how do you preserve permisions ...i use windows not linux so im a bit uh not lost but not sure where to look so help with that would be great
[Windows 8 General] sscsps:
OK, I will make the video tutorial after 4 hours and will upload after some time, will provide the video by tomorrow :)

Are you talking about the video I said?

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

And just to tell you, I don't have this device, I will carry out the tutorial on a Dell inspiron mini 1080

You can follow the tutorial anyways, I will explain everything in that
[Windows 8 General] amanrn:
I installed that. Using 2 flash drives. But at the time of boot, even when I select the flash drive, tablet boots into windows
[Windows 8 General] sscsps:
This could be a problem with the drive, may be the boot files were not correct.

I have made a Ubuntu flash drive for myself, I use it in college to keep my work at one place

I will make the video soon, was not able to do it yesterday because of some reasons, will make it today, :)

[Windows 8 General] spastikitten:
uh console os is 64bit uefi only .... the venue 8 pro is 32bit uefi
[Windows 8 General] sscsps:
OK! Well do with android x86 then, but the process remain same
[Windows 8 General] Azurael:
ConsoleOS is a con; a rebadged version of Android-IA that looks like it's being 'repackaged' by people who don't even know how to code beyond changing a few text strings. They still don't seem to have Android up and running on a V11P with newer BIOS versions even though it was on their initial compatibility list, I sent them a photo of mine running 5.0.2 just for the giggles. Unless you happen to have one of the few machines which are properly supported by Intel's IA effort, it's a crapshoot.

Android-x86 works on almost anything and unlike Android-IA, it uses a not-so-far from mainline kernel so you can easily make it work if it doesn't as-shipped (their stock 4.4 images don't boot on my machine.) If you make efi_img, you can create a 5.0.2 build using EFI grub which will easily boot on 32 and 64-bit UEFI depending upon which kernel you go for (and if you're just ripping apart the images to restore to partitions anyway, it's irrelevant.) The BayTrail CPUs are actually 64-bit capable, those machines shipped with 32-bit Windows originally because connected standby didn't work in x86_64 Windows at the time of release. Dell are now selling versions of the Atom V11P/V8P which ship with 64-bit Windows like my Core V11P, I guess those must have 64-bit UEFI. I haven't had any luck booting a 32-bit kernel on my 64-bit UEFI machine, so I'm assuming the reverse is also impossible. However, even if you have one of the 32-bit UEFI systems, you can boot 64-bit kernels from a 32-bit version of GRUB if you turn the CSM on and use the standard BIOS boot method. It's just that I like to EFI boot, since turning on Legacy Mode seems to triple the amount of time it takes the tablet to start up. Hopefully, full 64-bit (userspace and kernel) Lollipop builds will soon be possible and then we can really kick ARM hardware in the behind :P

There are a few bugs in the Mesa graphics layer though, I still can't get video playback to work in some apps (like iPlayer, although YouTube started working with my most recent build)... I guess we'll get there eventually. I think the Android-x86 developers are still concentrating on bugfixes for 4.4 and getting a newer Mesa build integrated (I think it uses 9.x and you can do a build with 10.4.x now, which should bring performance improvements and bugfixes) so not much has happened on the Lollipop branch aside from initial bringup. It works though :)
[Windows 8 General] lvlrdka22:
Apparently another guy had a similar issue, and brightness can be adjusted manually in /sys/class/backlight (he actually used System Tuner, but I assume the app adjusts values there).

Since you have a Core Venue 11 Pro, does touch/stylus work on either Kitkat or Lollipop? I built a vanilla Kitkat last night with 64-bit kernel from latest upstream (make iso_img rather than EFI), but touch doesn't work :crying:. None of the versions I found online worked either.

Also, does your touchpad act like the touchscreen rather than a mouse? Did you have to add something like psmouse.proto=stuff to fix it?
[Windows 8 General] Azurael:
I use the 3.18 kernel source, the touchscreen doesn't work at all with the stock 3.16. Presently, it works 9 out of 10 boots if I reboot directly from Windows to the Android-x86 EFI boot entry I created. Prior to a change in the kernel source a few weeks ago, it was far less reliable and before the latest BIOS update from Dell it didn't work at all. There's no visible difference in the boot log when it doesn't work, so it's a difficult one to debug. Running Arch Linux, the touchscreen works flawlessly and has done since 3.18-ml kernels including with the previous BIOS version and I can't see the difference that's causing Android to behave differently.

The stylus works fine when the touchscreen is working, including palm rejection but it doesn't support pressure sensitivity.

Unfortunately, I don't have the keyboard yet, so I can't comment on it's functionality...

All of the above applies to both 4.4 and 5.0 builds, they appear to behave the same aside from the fact that 4.4 with the experimental MESA 10.4 repo plays video properly in every app.
[Windows 8 General] lvlrdka22:
Ah, I'll try building EFI, see if it's any better then.

I'm also running Arch :highfive:. On that note, did you try either 3.19 or 4.0? The touchscreen appears to not work there, whereas in 3.18.x, it works perfectly. No indication whatsoever of what could be wrong. Enabling debugging didn't result in anything noticeable (just like in Android).

The touchscreen thing between Android and Arch in 3.18.x might be related to this bug that happens on Fedora, but not Arch.

This is weird, because touch/stylus works perfectly fine, including pressure sensitivity, on my V8P, both on Fedora (Fedlet) and Android x86, and it uses the same SYNA7500 touchscreen, just different product ID.

Compiling Android x86 with 3.19, touch/stylus is also perfectly fine on V8P.
[Windows 8 General] lvlrdka22:
Welp, tried all combinations I can think of, can't get touchscreen to work on my V11P, even though the same builds work on my V8P.

Sighs.
[Windows 8 General] spastikitten:
would i please be able to get a link to the latest build....cant find it anywhere..

also when i ad the backlight line to grub...i get no display,just a backlight
[Windows 8 General] lvlrdka22:
Finally got touchscreen/stylus working on 4.0, after (almost) an entire afternoon of kernel compiling.

hey thats awesome news!!! would you be ablw to put an iso for it please...that would be awesome!!
[Windows 8 General] OdlG26:
Hi there,

after reading through 16 pages, I have one question: Can you please link me to a step by step guide on how to get android x86 running in persistent mode on a DV8P (3845)? I know how to get Android x86 on a stick etc, but I didn't want to mess with anything so far as I normally only flash original Android devices and don't want to break Win8 or the BIOS on this one.

by the way: How can you delete the recovery partition and add it to the C drive? In Windows preferably. Always got stuck at "can't modify that partition because it is in use". Or can I just install Win8.1 freshly from a USB drive reassigning partitions like usual?

Thanks in advance!:good:

Hello all,

I too have made the jump to dual booting my venue 8 pro using the instructions on the tabletpcreview forums.

So far using the adjustments made in the grub.cfg file I do have functional brightness control, wifi works.

My biggest problem by far through is that my WiFi dies very often and requires a reboot.

Has anyone solved this problem?

I am using KitKat 4.4.4, with kernel 3.18.8.

Thanks guys.

IntelSoftware Black Belt Developer stiffs backers with consoleOS.....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Josian about 7 hours ago

Hello.

I am usually not the one to complain, but when I decide to do it, I go all the way until I become a thorn.

It is APRIL of 2015, over 120 days after what we were promised the rewards, and you still have not delivered android on the

Dell Venue 8 pro. All the files you made available for download were pretty bad explained in terms of installation, and none

so far would work with the tablet that made me decide to help fund the project. More and more sound to me that this project was

thrown away and now with some cash in hands, you are going towards something else. I honestly don't care the direction you are going,

but if you promised something, you gotta deliver, or return the investment.

We were pitched:

"This isn’t an emulator and this isn’t homebrew. Console OS is real, native Android that can really toggle with Windows on your PC."

"Console OS is painless to install - for end-users and system builders alike.

This is what makes Console OS so great. You can either install it on your PC's internal drive, or run it entirely from a USB external

hard disk.

We’re not talking a demo (or "live") version either; all your apps, documents, even encryption can work booting directly from a

USB hard disk."

Where is it? So far I haven't seen or experienced any of that. I truly would like to know and EXPERIENCE IT/USE IT or have the investment back. The pitch and delivery time were very clear. It's been way past that and I think it is time to have it delivered. Please let me know. Thank you.

Cykit 6 days ago

This would be probably the last time I will post something here since $10 loss would not worth too much speaking to [MENTION=275330]mmv[/MENTION],

no matter if it is really a legitimate company with "editor-s" or just one person role playing. I am sick and tired of waiting,

I bet so many of you feels the same. More than one year you haven't deliver, in the last post you say it's people get hot under the

collar, no, it is because you failed us and you refuse to acknowledge so. Even more insulting to our voters, is the fact you put all

the fault to us. "...we are doing what people voted for us to do...." is simply because you provided that option, by providing that

you implies you are capable. It turns out you are not. Further, you are not forth-coming about the fact that you may never will. Even

if one day you might achieve your goal (for discussion's sake let's assume you are really working on it), all the devices may be too

old for people to care about. And let's not forget Microsoft has opened the door to port Android apps. So, last but not least,
[MENTION=275330]mmv[/MENTION] failure is not the end of the world, but it's shameful to hype others' expectation then not even have the guts to acknowledge

an obvious failure. $10 is small, but our expectation for a whole year is not.

Did you ever get this to work? Did you find an image?

I know this is a very old post, but people still quote from it, //link from it, so I followed the link to here. It's open so I am replying, did you ever get it to work? People still to this day claim Droid won't run on an intel chip, etc, etc, etc, but I have two dell venue 8's, both were pro(win) and instead of buying a Droid Venue 8, I merely took the factory image for the Venue 8, loaded it etc, config'd it and it's a droid device to this day.

There are a few differences between the two devices dell sells, etc, but both will run pretty much anything. I have owned Droid devices(Asus) that had same specs as my win devices, and they were fones running droid.

I don't understand the continued idea that anything that's shipped with windows//intel specs will not run Droid, when for quite a while now, intel's been the cpu/gpu mechanicals operating and being operated by Droid...!!!

SO, if you see this post, let me know how you ever made out...

Anyone can show me the tutorial for a begginers, how I put the Android for my dell venue 8 pro?
[Windows 8 General] RRogue:
There is a n x86 Android kernel and x86 means 32 bit not 64, which would be x64. I know, wierd. I agree running Android apps on Linux would be smoother, but still, it's not the full Android experience. Sorry I had to correct you, I don't want people to get it wrong.

It is very likely that dual booting the Dell Venue is possible but it would probably take a lot of bricked tablets. As for dual booting Android, someone would have to make an Android kernel compatible with the tablet. I'm running a custom kernel on my Kindle Fire HD and it is so buggy. I'm not sure I would recommend dual booting the Dell Venue 8 because there isn't much storage unless you managed to boot off the micro SD which would be slower.

I can't force grubefi to find it's configuration file. already tried to copy in /efi/boot , /efi/boot/grub , /boot/grub and such others on the same drive which grubia32.efi is located. any workaround? P.S. my (hd0,0) ESP partition is read-only as it's locked by vendor.

How To Run A Scam called ConsoleOS....

--------------------------------------------------------

Multiple banks would not back your business plan, multiple venture capital firms would not back your business plan,

so why not go to KickStarter....those people would never do their due diligents to verify you could accomplish what

you claimed in your business plan. This all assumes that you had a business plan, which as it turns out you never had,

and never approached any bank or venture capitalist because you knew it was all a scam from the beginning, and they would laugh you out of their offices.

A way for you to ride on the initial work that Intel had done with android-ia, and that android-x86 had been so successful with

since 2009....the key was to initially destroy and / or discredit android-x86...which your good at because as a blogger you know

how to use multiple usernames to post on sites / forums to discredit what others are saying. How to get the credibility so your

not discounted as just another disgruntled user of various products / ideas you want to eliminate......?????

Become an Intel Black Belt Developer, like the old Microsoft Developer Program or the Apple Developer Program you end up paying

a few dollars, attending some meet-ups and classes and as long as you keep paying up your in....a true "Developer" for whoever

you want to pay. Once you've accomplished that it fairly easy to always be there for them to push their products, push their

company line, network with all the people who can help you move forward with your "special project" so you can use their stuff

and go out and scam people.........

MTP wintout installing WMP11

Hi,

This is just another guide how to install driver and access nexus 7 2013 in windows XP...

Get a WMP install for winXP

Extract it by using command:

wmp11-windowsxp-x86-xx-xx.exe /C /T:[full-path-to-dest-dir]

eg.

E:\_TEMP\8\>wmp11-windowsxp-x86-xx-xx.exe /C /T:e:\_temp\8\wmp11\

Go into extracted directory, we are interested in files: wmfdist11.exe and umdf.exe

Install them, one is User Mode Driver Framework and other one is "media framework"

Go to

%windir%\inf

( eg.:

C:\WINDOWS\inf

)

Make a copy of file wpdmtphw.inf and open original one in notepad.

Find section [VendorModels.NTx86] (or [VendorModels.NTamd64] if you have winxp 64bit)

At end of section add line:

; Nexus 7 2013 LTE
%GenericMTP.DeviceDesc%=MTP, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&REV_0228&MI_00

Reboot your computer. Unplug also your Nexus, also switch off USB Debugging because of that you will see two MTP devices and you might try install MTP drivers for debug (which fail, or windows will yell with code 10...)

Hook up Nexus and when windows popup about installing drivers, choose that you have driver and the location point to search set to

c:\windows\inf

, click next, windows might complain that this driver is not intended to use with this device, so give win a slap and wait patiently until windows install driver :)

Windows might install drivers twice, just remember to point to windows/inf directory :) or directory with google usb driver http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

---------------

After almost a year I noticed I made a hell of mistake :( , There should be MI_00 (MI stands for Media Interface 0) not MI_01 (MI 01 is for ADB ). And There is no need for 1st line ( USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_00 ).

I am terribly sorry for committing such basic error.

I already fixed those error in this my "guide"...
