secure boot in win8.1

I've tried to install the iso image in to my tablet from usb but win 8 has got disabled booting option = secure boot. Touchscreen doesn't work in bios and vol buttons and power button or any combination doesn't allow me to change tab so I'm stuck here :silly:. Anyone knows how to go around it.
[Android General] MisterGame7Web:
If you want to choose more than that to allow for your Android system, you got to format your hard drive in EXT2 or EXT3 format (not NTFS) with a tool like Gparted. After that, you enter again in the Android's installation process, and you choose "without formatting" the disk.

Were you able to get any games working on?
[Android General] MisterGame7Web:
I cannot test, I'm going back to Android 4.4.2 because on Lollipop, I had a Wi-Fi issue, I could not connect to my Home Network...
[Android General] suku_patel_22:
All games just crashed on 4.4.2 for me as well. Ineterested in Real Racing 3.

If possible can you check on 4.4.2?
[Android General] MisterGame7Web:
I'm gonna test but I don't think my graphic card will be good enough (I have an HP Mini 110 with 2 GB of RAM, a 1.66 Ghz Intel Atom processor and a GMA 3150 GPU).

missing driver

Hi,

I have the same problem with a Panasonic Toughbook. I found that maybe the SATA driver of the hard drive is missing from the kernel. I'm not good enough to recompile the kernel with the driver, but I think that would be the solution. If You have any result, please give me some feedback! ;)

Thank You! Best regards!

Hi.

Can anyone help me with android x86 on Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro?

http://xdaforums.com/android/help/trying-to-install-android-x86-lenovo-t3029659

Thanks.
[Android General] biorap:
Of course. Android supports NTFS formatted partitions as well. Just add SDCARD=sdaX parameter to kernel line. (sdaX stands for ntfs partition that you want to use as storage. sda3, sda4... etc)
[Android General] lohtse:
how and where would I do that?
[Android General] biorap:
I assume you use android's default grub4dos to boot.

Just add "SDCARD=sda3" to kernel line. In order to do that, find grub folder in the partition that you have installed android on it. In grub folder, you will see menu.lst file. Open it with Notepad. You will see three line starting with title, kernel and initrd. Add SDACARD=sda3 to end of kernel line.

To find grub folder, use a live linux distro. Because android is installed on ext3 formatted partition and windows can't read ext3.

I can help in further steps.
[Android General] lohtse:
so how should I use the 50gig partition I created for x86 Android (this is also the location I install android too)??
[Android General] biorap:
Sorry, I didn't understand what you said. Do you mean you are using two androids installed on different partitions? And Which filesystem is your 50gig partiton?

In any condition, you can use just ONE partition with your android you boot by means of the method i gave.

To give an example, let's say you have four partition. first one is ntfs formatted windows partiton (sda1), second one is ext3 formatted androidx86 (sda2), third one is ntfs formatted stock partition (mp3, images, movies...etc) (sda3), and fourth one is ext3 or ntfs formatted another partition (no matter if another android is installed on it). When you boot androidx86 (sda2), you can use other partitions (sda1, sda3 or sda4) as sdcard.
[Android General] lohtse:
what I should have said is I have partitioned the hard drive so that I have a 50gig partition to install android to... How do I use the FULL 50gig partition for android ? as in not just 4gig as installation seems to only use..

apologies for confusion..
[Android General] biorap:
I don't know if androidx86 installion permits to install on 50gig size. You can try to install androidx86 on 50gig EXT3 FORMATTED partition DIRECTLY.

If you experience problems regarding partition size, you can split 50gig partition as 10+40 or as 4+46 (Both should be ext3). After installing on the small one (10 or 4), you can merge the big one with the small one by means of a partition manager.

Sorry, for my poor english. I hope i understand the case this time.
[Android General] lohtse:
thank you for the advice formatting to ext3 worked perfectly..... now our samsung n150 netbook and toshiba satellite laptop have android as dual boot :) but the figgin HP pavilion g6(windows 8) simply will not let me install from cd or usb (legacy enabled in bios)

*slow* Upgrading apps...

I also initially thought it was a dud but after waiting an hour I rebooted and when android started this time I got the message that android is upgrading applications and *eventually* (hours later) it finished. I suspect before the reboot it was upgrading (i.e. apps to ART) silently since the cpu and memory were under load the whole time.

However, eventually after a quick initial configuration, it rebooted and another hours wait to upgrade 9 applications (again) that are likely incompatible. It seems there are probably 3 ways to address this: remove/update the apps, revert to dalvik, never reboot.

[Android General] RogerL:
This might help getting it to boot

I found this on the Android x86 issues page, Issue 681, Post #23 - relates to an earlier Android version but it worked for me with 5.0.2 with gapps. Previously I was just getting a blinking cursor on rebooting after a hard drive install on my Asus Eee PC 901 GO.

https://code.google.com/p/android-x86/issues/detail?id=681

- Boot to the USB with Android (I used unetbootin-windows-608 to create the bootable usb - Used a 4GB stick)

- Insert stick, boot to usb

- Select install to HDD

- At the select a partition screen, select "C"reate/Modify partitions

- I selected my partition, then Delete

- Then New (this changed the FS Type to Linux, I did not see this FS Type on my previous failed attempts to install)

- Then Bootable

- Then Write, type "yes" to confirm

- Then Quit

- Back at the select a partition, I selected DO NOT FORMAT

- Installed Grub, etc.

- Then rebooted

- Success, Android 4.4r1 running on my laptop!

Seems the built in partitioning tool doesn't always work as it should but the above manual settings create the right kind of partition for a bootable Android OS.

I have noticed that the GAPPS login is incredibly laggy - is there a fix for that?
[Android General] RogerL:
Just thought I'd mention that GAPPS doesn't work with the install as detailed above - it throws up an error 972 when installing apps. There is a fix for this detailed here:

http://www.android-x86.net/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=255

The fix is based on either running a script where Android x86 sits alongside a Linux install, or formatting the drive to ext4. I've tried this by running a live Linux rescue disk and using GParted to format to ext4, then installing Lollipop, but I can't get it to boot, so if anyone manages this it would be good to know how it was done!

Hopefully this could be resolved by a developer in another build - thinking if ext4 file system was an option made available during the hard drive installation that would work, but I'm not a developer so no idea how easy/difficult that might be!

I'm using 4.4 r2 for now.
[Android General] Bobcus Leper:
Is anybody else having issued getting 4.4_r2 to install. Every time I try to install or boot without installation, I get a kernel panic error.

I have a el80 laptop.

Also, 4.4_r1 works perfectly.
[Android General] checknmater:
Bro, i previously followed the guide and tried to install it on my PC but after sometime i no longer wanted android on my PC's hard disk so followed a tutorial that was on a a site by which you can install the Androidx86 on a USB stick instead of internal hard disk. This really was useful as i always carry this USB stick with me. All i do is connect it to any Windows or linux System and boot the OS from USB Disk instead of system's default Os and any changes that i make are always saved. So it's like a portable OS which i can boot anywhere and start working where i left. Very useful. Also can play android games and install them with Data. techposts.org/how-to-install-android-x86-5-0-2-on-usb-drive

Some "advanced" questions

Hey there, thanks for the guide

Quick question for anyone who might know something about this:

1. Where are the kernel headers for android-x86?

2. Is there any way to _properly_ compile an amd64 kernel so we can fully utilise the RAMs?

3. Any way to use DKMS, so installing modules and proprietary blobs are easier? I have a 2014 MacBookPro (don't kill me) and I'm looking at installing ax86 for fun, but unfortunately the wifi chip is Broadcom, which we all know their Linux support is great (sarcasm over 9000) plus the hardware support is limited.

4. The sources are very Googley (super confusing, weird tools and come on, 10GB worth of download?!) No "actual Git as in GitHub Git" sources?

Thanks!

After I've created the x86 android thumbdrive, and booted from USB, I get the options to boot into Windows 8, Live android, Live android with debug, and Installation of android. When I activate any of the last three, I get stuck at a blank screen with only a "_" on the page. It stays stuck there forever.

What am I doing wrong?
[Android General] Ambious:
So I've installed Android x86 5.1.0 (2015-05-21 MESA build) to an ext4 partition I made beforehand (on a computer running Lubuntu) and even booted successfully ONCE (directly from the installer).

I then rebooted back to Lubuntu and made the grub modifications instructed in the OP (changing the directory, partition and UUID accordingly of course), but it won't work - as soon as I select "Androix x86" in the grub menu, the computer just reboots.

I'm using Grub version 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.1 and Android x86 MESA 2015-05-21.

Any tips/ideas?

Solved it by adding a "/" in front of the directory name in the grub settings.

Sorry for the bother.

I am trying to get this to work on my Asus Eee PC Seashell (1215b)

I installed Unetbootin from the Ubuntu software center and used it to put the asus laptop 4.0 iso onto a 8gb usb stick. I rebooted into BIOS, switched my primary boot device to the flash drive, and it just booted normally onto the hard disk. I have tried this with multiple different isos from the downloads page, including 4.4 r1 and also the generic one in the O.P. I got the same thing every time: it just booted using my main drive. I do not have any problems booting up with a different drive that is set up for Ubuntu. I did use the 8-gig stick I'm trying to use to install Ubuntu, so I know it works.

For right now all I want to do is try getting into Android x86, but I will probably install it onto a flash drive once I can get to the installer.

[Android General] F4uzan:
The source of the problem is either the GPU or the ramdisk. In my case, I have to modify my GRUB entry to load 5.1 files (root system dir, ramdisk, kernel). In older 5.1 builds, I got GPU problem, there's a fix in the Android x86 site that loads Android x86 without using HW acceleration (this disable the loading of external / other GPU, and uses internal / integrated GPU instead).

I know this is linux and i know i can add things to fstab in liux but i dont understand the restrictions on android. Have you some knowledge on this?
[Android General] F4uzan:
If you refer 'user space' as system or data partition, you can increase your partition size. For example, if the partition size is 16 - 32 GB, Android will allocate 14 or 29 GB space for data partition and 3 or 4 GB for system.
[Android General] liz.beth:

Can't get Android x86 installer to boot using usb on surface 3 (not pro)

I have tried using lili and unetbootin to get my usb's boot ready, but I haven't been able to get any of them to boot to the correct install screen on my Windows Surface 3 (non pro). I have gotten it to boot to grub menu once but that was the extent of it.

Another thing I am running into problems with, first lili says that my .iso partitions are corrupted and so I redownload, I have gotten 1 out of about 10 to be not corrupt then that 1 got corrupt after test booting on my desktop, not my Surface (which worked). So I don't know whether to ignore that warning or not.

My setup is a Windows Surface 3 (non pro) running windows 10, it has 128gig ssd, 4gb ram, 64gig sd, and I am using either a 4gb usb or a 16gb usb to install Android. For right now I just want to get it to live boot to test how things work.

I read somewhere that having a sd card in may interfere with booting but I took the sd card out and that didn't work.

I have secure boot off, I have tmp off.

I've tried many versions of this over the last 3 1/2 years, it's frustrating when you run it on a device much more powerful than a phone and it can't run live wallpapers or play videos...... It ultimately disappoints. Better off running Ubuntu. It is an interesting thing but still feels like an experiment to me.

Currently looking at a dual boot between this and EasyPeasy Linux. I install to the HDD. Never had much joy with SD card installs. Slow, limited space etc. App support used to be terrible but it's getting more widespread now.

It does revive an old netbook if it will run properly. This last version surprised me with support for my old Dell keyboard that has a 1.1 USB hub in it.

Got it on an Asus mini PC right now, it has similar guts to the eeepc and works pretty well, apart from the video system issues stopping video working properly. Fast boot is nice compared to Windows, I can only imaging how quick it would be if installed to an SSD.
