I installed this on a separate partition. android boots fine. but when i reboot its booting to windows. There is no option to select android while booting. Pls help..:rolleyes:

Thanks A Lot

I'm running this on my HP Mini. It works flawalessly. I actually ran its live cd mode and miracle happened. It asked me to connect WiFi and it connected. Only one bug Lockscreen or any way to put it into sleep mode. Root also working. In few days I'll install it as my second rom and see if those bugs go out. :laugh:

[Android General] antibanaccount:
ok so this sentence is confusing. If my brand listed there, shouldn't i just download the version listed there? why should i download another generic ics version. Now i am confused what version to download, the one from android x86 website or the generic ics. i have a generic desktop pc

also i am running windows now. is there any chance i can install and dual boot this without install grub? i don't know how to use grub
[Android General] the_f4b1:
If you managed to install android in virtualbox: what where your settings and how did you do it? because when i try to install it all i get is a blu and black screen with anroid written at the bottom of it....
[Android General] androidfilesharing:
I do not get this option to set system to r/w unless I format the partition as ext2 or ext3. I have no problem doing that but every time I do I get error 17 at boot. I can get back to Windows 8.1 by are installing Android and overwriting the partition with a default structure. Am I missing something
[Android General] CrossPL:
I'd add

SRC=/[B]androidx86[/B]

to linux line in grub, so it doesn't accidentally load live cd version from USB/CD.

You have to download some partition manager and format it as ext3 by yourself and then use do not format in installer, because it's bugged.
[Android General] spiral6:
Or just eject the iso after installing, apparently that worked earlier.
[Android General] androidfilesharing:
Do you have a recommended one?
[Android General] CrossPL:
I'm using GParted on linux, you can download it's .iso and put it on USB using unetbootin.

[Android General] spiral6:
WiFi? I know internet works (updated GP apps even though I have no WiFi or data connected...)

Also, the launcher crashes constantly, when trying to load up a wallpaper... as well as trying to load up a file directory system app (like Music or Gallery)

And finally, none of my settings save every time I open my Virtual Machine, I have to "activate" my device every time. Any way to bypass or stop it? (I believe I forgot to set to maximum size)

Thanks in advance!

Did you format HDD as ext3 or ext2? Try ext2.

It should work, you can test it without installing using USB stick.
[Android General] spiral6:
Yeah, iso has been unmounted... still having problems...
[Android General] CrossPL:
Did you format it using ext3, ext2, ntfs or fat32?

any idea how i can fix this?
[Android General] CrossPL:
Did you choose to mount /system as read-write in the installer?
[Android General] F4uzan:
If your previous OS is Windows, search Google for 'how to reinstall MBR on Windows'.

Did you make the system writable in installation ?

#F4UZAN : Team Optima
[Android General] KuGeL94:
i dont think i did that, because there was no option for me to choose it, only thing it asked me was to install or not GRUB
[Android General] CrossPL:
I guess you chose to format HDD as ntfs/fat32? Try to format it as ext2 (ext3 is bugged in current installer).
[Android General] Daniol71:
I managed to run the iso in VM without any trouble, but when booting from usb in BIOS I get stuck with a black screen and a blinking hyphen. I'm using the generic release, Unetbootin completed without problems, does anyone know what the problem is?
[Android General] FabreFaction:
4.4.2 works fine on my netbook.

Medion Akoya.

Installed as the only operating system.

Really quick.

Google Play Store working fine.

The only niggle are the additional apps I installed that force portrait mode.

But that's no biggie as there are so many alternative apps in the Play Store.

hi ^^

ive installed Android-x86-4.4-RC1 on a HyperV VM.

working good ^^

but some problems:

) i dont get "wifi". appstore can get conncetion (LAN) but the other apps seems to not check that there is a connection to internet :/

) ive no sound

) how to set resolution?

) many (all?) apps switch to portrait mode, but thats realy annoying cause i cant rotate my screen ...
[Android General] alexfadhili2:
Can i Install it while my pc is in UEFI mode?
[Android General] F4uzan:
Try again. I have this issue everytime. Turn off your device with power button, then boot back to usb.

For the apps and resolution, download 'Adaptive Resolution Lock' on Play Store.

Download 'Adaptive Rotation Lock' in Play Store.

Unstable. You can try.

[Android General] gerciolisz:
How did you make data partition larger than 2gb? I couldnt achieve it..

Best is score on antutu is sth around 45k XD
[Android General] CrossPL:
I've made one 4GB partition and formatted it as ext3 using GParted (because ext3 formatting in 4.4.2-RC1 is bugged).
[Android General] gerciolisz:
Thx ill try it later

I know its bugged but when i formatting in any other format in installer i can make data partition only max 2gb
[Android General] CrossPL:
I recommend using GParted live cd :)

PS. I think I used ext2 in VM and it didn't have 2GB limit.
[Android General] gerciolisz:
yhm.. so when i will choose partition i dont have to create <2gb data.img in gparted?

BTW i am not trying it in VM i am using it as multiboot:)

i was trying to make new data.img with toporesize but never succeded.

ill report back later thx anyway:)
[Android General] gerciolisz:
Better install it on any USB stick or sdcard or external hdd.. Jest in case to not lose any other os on hdd

I can't install it, my hard drives aren't detected and it can't mount my USB stick for formatting.

I tried with both the generic 4.0.4 and generic 4.3 images.
[Android General] F4uzan:
Weird, make sure you didn't do anything to your BIOS / OS.
[Android General] DustArma:
My BIOS is using the default settings other than hard drive boot priority.

After googling for some time I found out that the problem might be the kernel image not having SATA drivers for my motherboard, but I don't know how could I compile a kernel with the drivers in it.

So I've installed using ext3, and running Android 4.4. Can't launch Chrome, or access any file browser apps (Gallery) at all. What is going on?
[Android General] CrossPL:
Try to format it using ext2, or use GParted to create a new ext3 partition.
[Android General] spiral6:
Would that work (GParted) on a VM though?
[Android General] CrossPL:
Yes, just download GParted iso, mount it, create and format new ext3 partition, and then choose it and don't format in Android-x86 installer.

[Android General] corckie:
I tried to install, chose proper partition, EXT3 (and EXT2 afterwards), tried to create GRUB, blah blah and then it says 'expecting to copy 590 245 KB' (or simmiliar value) but it just goes way too fast, from 0% to 100% like in 5 seconds, then it says "installed sucessfully" and I have options to reboot or run Android. Of coures it won't run, and when I check from Windows my android partition is empty. Anyone resolved this issue?
[Android General] spiral6:
People have said to use GParted to format... I guess that could help. On another note, deleting the GRUB folder could potentially lock out your computer, so wait till further instructions, I guess.
[Android General] pmmalta:
thanks a lot for the tutorial

in my case I had to make some changes to the grub entry

when tried to install the android-4.4-RC1 version in a Lenovo G485 notebook, I had a invalid kernel file name message, so I moved the files in the android-4.4-RC1 folder to the root of the Android-x86 partition, and left my "source" option in the grub entry like this:

set root='(hd0,3)'

search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root bb12e77f-5b40-44bc-871d-269c9c08714d

linux /kernel root=UUID=bb12e77f-5b40-44bc-871d-269c9c08714d quiet androidboot.hardware=generic_x86 SRC=/ acpi_sleep=se_bios,s3_mode

initrd /initrd.img

so it worked this way

sorry for grammar mistakes

Im installing it on virtual BOX with 6 gb hardisk space+1Gb ram+64mb VRAM.

Cuz i have 2 gb ram and it shows 128 Vram. is it ok to run it like that?
[Android General] KuGeL94:
By deleting the android os and grub boot folder would break the first current grub boot installed by the iso, so if i get rid of the grub folder it wont boot... hmmm maybe i can only delete the android folder and edit the grub boot file so i remove booting from android and so it directly boots from windows but i also have to put the timeout to 0 or 1 so when i boot it does it directly without having to wait, this would be one not so practical solution, because u will still have grub boot on ur pc instead of normal windows boot so its going to go like this:

pc boot > grub boot > windows boot > windows start...
[Android General] CrossPL:
Deleting grub will most likely result in your PC not being able to boot Windows, so make sure you have a Windows DVD to fix MBR.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infoseye:
Hello everyone,

I bought an HTC one off ebay, having in mind I would flash custom rom on the device which I prefer for obvious reasons. But each time I open Hasson2000 Tool to get ID token I get this error in command prompt below: :(

*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

*daemon started successfully *

'error: device offline

I have tried searching for solutions but I cant get one to actually fix my own issue, I do know the HTC bootloader has been unlocked and rooted because I can boot to bootloader menu, boot to recovery mode and on top on the screen it says *****TAMPERED***** just below it says ***UNLOCKED*** I figured the previous owner tried locking bootloader before selling it off.

I noticed other commands dont work like reboot device on the tool probably because of that error or my htc is not recognised am not sure. am running Windows 8.1 Pro on my laptop.

What I have done so far

Rebooted phone several times

Rebooted my laptop several times

Unplugged and plugged in usb cable

Used different usb ports it recognises my htc because I can view my SD card or transfer files between laptop and phone.

Please guys I neeed your help with this, thanks.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Depending on the carrier the device was made for and the one you use, OTA updates may not be an option. If it is a carrier device then updates will be pushed OTA from the OG carrier. IF you use a different carrier then you wont get OTA. And to be honest they are over rated and cause more issues then anything else.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infoseye:
Its unbranded HTC One unlocked its not locked to any carrier, so are you saying I cant go back to a stock or use a nand backup from this forum. I have found alot of topics but the procedures are abit confusing can you direct me a link or thread that can directing on how to flash a custom rom on my HTC?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
What about using the command prompt instead of a toolkit? No disrespect to Hasson2000, but toolkits aren't ideal imo

In most cases, ''device offline'' is caused by an outdated version of the android sdk or a bad usb cable/usb port (btw use usb 2.0 ports).

Also in windows devices manager, your phone must be listed as Android usb device ---> My HTC. If not, you have drivers issue.

If your phone still boot normally, just copy the rom inside the sdcard, reboot in recovery and install it. I will highly suggest you make sure adb and fastboot works correctly

before

as they will be required if something goes wrong when installing the custom rom. Also make a nandroid backup of your current config before flashing the rom and make a copy of that backup on your computer.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infoseye:

ok, twrp will not be require to go back to stock, but don't forget latest version of twrp isnt 2.6.3.0 but 2.7.0.0 and you'll need at least 2.6.3.3 to flash 4.4+ roms

You can restore your phone back to stock with this RUU

flash twrp recovery (2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 recommended)

make a nandroid backup from twrp, also make a copy of that backup on your computer just in case.

download your custom rom .zip, save it to the same folder where adb/fastboot are.

Use either ''adb push'' or ''adb sideload'' method to get the rom on your phone storage or the easy way: copy it to your phone storage via windows explorer when the phone is booted.

flash the rom with twrp
