This is really cool stuff! How hard would it be to get it up and running on a Macbook Pro? I've tried it on my old asus laptop (which strangely android didn't detect as an asus device) in VM Virtualbox, and 4.0 (for asus) was running ok, 4.4 was kinda slow and the 4.0 generic release was running quite well :) I tried playing Defender, one of the games in the 4.0 ROM and the framerate made it unplayable, my pc doesn't have the best specs, that's why I was wondering about installing on a Macbook Pro. I guess it would be quite hard though, hell, I can't even get Ubuntu to dual-boot on the damn thing, spent the last 3 nights on it. 72 hours working on that **** :crying:

Generic ICS, or KitKat 4.4.2

Try the Generic ICS one. If it didn't work try the KitKat RC1.

Tried

Ok, tried (I am currently using it to write this post) but I've got some question to ask you:

I can't put on sleep my pc, do I have to power off the system every time or there is another way?

Is there an app that can adjust mouse settings? Like two-finger scrolling, scrolling speed etc...

Anyway, works like a charm, great work. (I'm running KK)

[Android General] Masterlib:
installed on my old netbook with 1Gb ram, android 4.4 runs ok but some apps like clash of clans, facebook, google chrome crashes, i read elsewhere that libhoudini files were removed from this version so it will not run apps that are natively ARM?? there's fix where you can download the missing libraries but all the links found on google were removed (due to license issues)???
[Android General] Mr_White_214:
i can't dual boot Android 5.1. only windows shows up in boot menu. How can i fix this?
[Android General] F4uzan:
I'm sure apps like Chrome and Facebook have their own x86 counterpart, however I am unsure about Clash of Clans. You might want to install an older release if you really need the app compatibility.

Are you sure you have installed GRUB menu ? Make sure you opted to install GRUB menu on the installation process.
[Android General] 6feetunder9:
Dear F4uzan,

Thanks for your great tutorial

I'm trying to get Android X86 installed on OpenStack instance but it feels like impossible

The launched instance could not recognize the (virtual) hard disk drive. I tried to add a volume (like a secondary virtual hard disk) and I could manage to install x86 on it (that means the OS sees the hard disk at this time) and detach it from the isntance

But then when i rebooted, and tried to launch the instance from that volume, problem happened again - the OS still could not find any hard drive

Do you have any suggestion, I believe this is the problem of "virtual drivers" for this x86 Android OS but I am not so sure - because during installation, the OS can still see the hard disk drive

Thank you so much :angel:
[Android General] Mr_White_214:
Yes, i have installed GRUB. there is also a folder on my partition called "grub".
[Android General] F4uzan:
What partition did you use to install Android x86 (example : EXT4) ? Did the setup formatted the partition successfully ?
[Android General] MasterBoy71:
Yes man, i use X86 Android 4.4.4 on my Asus Eee PC 1000H. It works fine for me. But i want to use 5.1.1, there is on from "AndEx" but we have to pay 9€ as spend. :(

But with 4.4.4 all is functionally good.

If someone have 5.1.1 generic tell me as PN.

I have ext3 format on HDD!
[Android General] fraxion:
I cannot get past 'please select partition to instal Andoid x86 on' it just stays flashing on 'ok' keyboard does not allow moving up/down or anything :(

any advice would be appreciated.
[Android General] F4uzan:
Try using an external keyboard, it might help.
[Android General] fraxion:
I am! with a 3 port usb hub. I'm not a total newb, i have tried to read as many posts as possible but have now given up with Android as i have installed Win 10 now with everything working apart from the odd lock up.

I tried installing the android system from within windows but most of the apps didn't work so just gonna stick with Win 10.

Anyway thanks for your helpful post, much appreciated.
[Android General] nyum_nyum:
I have Windows 10. I've tried to dual boot with Android x86. After I've installed it to the hard disk I was greeted with grub.

I am not an advanced linux user so I freaked out when I don't see boot entry for Windows 10. I try to enter android but grub gave an error saying to load the kernel first.

After about an hour of trying to get back to Windows, I'm glad that I've got it again. Now I'm going to try to install it again. What should I do to dual boot android and Windows?

I don't think I can install Grub Customizer within grub2 right? So how can I add a new entry to grub?

One more thing, when I use "ls" commend to list folders in the Windows partition, grub gave an error that says something like systemfile not recognise.

Can someone help me to dual boot android and Windows?
[Android General] Vtrendzzy:
I did this years ago. And the best part is i didn't install it on my hdd. I installed it on my 8GB micro sdcard. I created usb drive as bootable then instead of selecting hdd, i selected sdcard. And boom now i can carry my android os with me. Just stick it in any computer or laptop i can use my os as it is. There may be some driver issues but my files and settings stay intact. Try it and if you need help ask me.

Is it possible to geht 5.1.1 stabile for eeepc?
[Android General] mjraogr:
Hello [MENTION=4751327]F4uzan[/MENTION]

I have windows, Linux Ubuntu with dual boot. I got flashed on usbcard by 4GB created two partitions for storage on primary ext3 for system and Grub and other one fat32 to scdcard simulation.

The test run ok this way but installing in hard drive in a ext3 partition by 10 GB and course don't installing grub to avoid overwrite grub2 it doesn't works.

I got steps above creating new entire in grub customizer but, the grub2 not recognized the sintax path folder or kernel and crash. I'm using the 5.1-rc1 release with a Dell laptop ( Intel Centrino Core Duo T6600 ) .

Logical name device: /dev/sda4

Name of Partition: Android-x86-5.1-rc1

Name of iSO android-x86-5.1-rc1.iso

Name of folder directory android-5.1-rc1

My entire used

set root='(hd0,4)

linux /android-5.1-rc1/kernel

intird /android-5.1-rc1/initrd.img

androidboot_hardware=eeepc

SRC=/android-x86-5.1-rc1

what i've done incorrectly?
[Android General] mjraogr:
Before install dual boot, you need to create partitions in your hard disk using the Windows manager partition or similar like linux gparted able to create ext partitions

1) Hit the File Explorer in C: with right button and shrinking HD space avoid format windows installation and let the free space to add a new partition ext3 or ext4 to your android system (16 GB it's enough)

2) Boot USB or live CD with Gparted and set the unknown space creating a new partition ext3 or ext4. For now with the Android x86 Live CD or USB bootable Install android with and choice "yes" for grub installer boot then reboot

You must see the grub2 and the windows / Android options for dual boot
[Android General] mjraogr:
I got soluction myself

My grub setup

RAM setup: /android-5.1-rc1/initrd.img

Image setup: /android-5.1-rc1/kernel

Hardware: androidboot.hardware=android_x86

Source: SRC=/android-5.1-rc1

I hope I don't get thrashed here but I tried 2 different x86 forks on my Dell Optiplex 390 running integrated Gpu. Phoenix OS install to SSD works fine but slow.

Last night I tried Phoenix Os 5.1 installed 2 SSD and I was getting sound and video problems.

Do you guys suggest I use a Radeon HD card instead?

Or does anyone know if I can get a KitKat version of Phoenix anywhere?

i can't boot to my old window with grub. how do fix it ?
[Android General] andfree:
Hi.

I want to run android to a Compaq Presario 2106EA.

I used unetbootin to install android-x86-desktop-generic.iso to usb flash drive.

I use plop to boot to it.

At the GRUB menu generated by UNetbootin, I select:

Installation - Install Android-x86 to harddisk

Then it asks me to select a partition to install Android-x86. The choices are:

(1) sda1 Win95 FAT32 USB FLASH DRIVE

(2) Create/Modify partitions

(3) Detect devices

Choice (3) detecting for a moment and returns back to the same list

Choice (2) gets the message:

FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 0: Partition ends in the final partial cylind
Press any key to exit cfdisk

Choice (1) leads to the next step:

Please select a filesystem to format sda1:
Do not format
ext3
ext2
ntfs
fat32

I select "Do not format" and get:

Error
Cannot mount /dev/sda1
Do you want to format it?

Any idea what to do? Thanks

Can Not get more than 4 gig data or internal storage

Hi I tried installing Android x86-64 6.0.1 RC1 many times and the only way to get the system to run was to format a NTFS partition or Fat32 (ext4 failed because after install the system would hang on android boot screen)) and then during install it lets you format the data (Internal storage) BUT even if you specify more than 4 gigs it stops at 4gigs on the format and thats all it will allow.... HOW DO I GET 32 or 64 gig internal storage!!!!! Damn I would be happy with 16 gig Internal! Had to use a 32 gig sd card in computer to add to internal storage (REAL DRAG)!

I have the same problem.

I'm trying to install the CM13 iso from android-x86.org's download section on a blank UEFI, gpt layout and 1 single ext4 partition harddrive with no previous OS installed and it doesn't boot after installation.

Something makes me think the guides just assume you have Windows 8 or 10 already installed in parallel and for some reason I think it has to do with a missing Windows UEFI bootloader, but I may be wrong.

Anyone has a suggestion what needs to happen?

I got 2 HDD's on my computer, one is for windows, and one I plan on installing android x86; I installed it on the 2nd HDD, said yes to everything, rebooted, and it went straight to windows 10

I tried using EasyBCD, but no dice, so how do I set it so I can choose to boot from either the 1st HDD (windows) or the 2nd (android x86) when I boot up my computer?
[Android General] Rexkh:
Go into BOIS Setup. Set 1st boot from 2nd HDD.
[Android General] LodeUnknown:
My computer doesn't have a BOIS setup, but it does have a BIOS setup; regardless, I should've mentioned that my windows is running in UEFI mode, secure boot is off (not supported in the first place), and windows is on a GPT partition style, so it shows up on BIOS as windows boot loader; when I installed grub on the 2nd HDD during the android setup, it did not show up in BIOS setup; one article I read mentioned using grub2win to make an entry in the boot-loader

I got it working, couldnt't figure out how to work it with an ext4 partition so I went ntfs instead, selected the directory and all was deuces

Could this be a NUC headunit?

I currently have a Nexus 7 (2012) with Timur's USB ROM on it. The battery is taking a dump and I am just basically looking to upgrade the whole thing. Here is my question. If I install this on a NUC (model - GB-BLCE-4105-BW) would it give me full functional Android? Looking to try to get Android 8 but anything near it would be fine. This is what functionality I am looking for. Google Play Store, GPS Navigation using WAZE, YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Video, Hulu, Torque App and TouchScreen Functionality (not required, but preferred). The install in the vehicle isn't an issue, all of that I can manage without a problem. What I am looking for is full android tablet/phone functionality...none of this Android Auto or Mirroring, etc. Is this something that I could use on a NUC and achieve these goals, or do I need to go a different route? I have searched and looked up things through the forums and Googled it a lot recently. This looks like it may be my best bet, because honestly, most of these head units out there, just aren't even up to par with my Nexus 7 Timur's setup and frankly that makes me sad. Any help would be tremendously appreciated.
[Android General] akhilll09:
Hi guys, I know this thread is now pretty old, but it was just recently that I got to know of an option to install Android-x86 on to a pc.

1. I tried running the OS without installing initially, but my wifi adapter was not detected (TP Link TL-WN725N), so had no connection to WiFi. Everything else worked fine.

2. I tried to install Android-x86 this time, but I didn't the option to select the drive to install. Instead I got a dialog box saying:

"You have chosen the Auto Installation.

The installer will erase the whole /dev/sda and install Android-x86 to it. This is the last confirmation. Are you sure to do so?

<Yes> <No> "

/dev/sda in my case is the USB flash drive. When I select <Yes>, it erases the flash drive, and the installation stops; and with <No>, it exits installation.

I want to install it on my SSD.

Kindly help!

Thanks in advance :)
[Android General] F4uzan:
Yep, you can use that.

The sleep bug is the current bug of Android x86, you can try closing your device's lid to make it sleep. IDK, I doesn't know any app that can do it.

Using VM Ware Fusion will works fine except WLAN connectivity....

Even bridging the Wifi Adapter to the VM didn't solve the problem.

Any ideas?

I reserved 4 GB of RAM and two CPU Cores for the VM, should be enough^^

Just got another problem xD

[Android General] F4uzan:
For WLAN, which build did you use ?

For screen lock, press the power key, if it didn't wake up, long press it. And if it still doesn't wake up, turn it off.

Because that's known bug of Android x86.
