[Guide] Teclast X98 3G - Dual Boot Windows/Android X86 [Marshmallow/KitKat]

INFO

I'm not the original developer of these builds. These builds are based on Android-x86 Open Source Project.

All the credits goes to the original developers

! I just slightly modded them and added couple fixes. Also I'm not responsible for bricked devices etc.

HOW TO INSTALL ANDROID X86?

This is not the only way to install Android x86 but probably the easiet way.

Requirements:

Windows as a base OS, for more information take a look here: TECLAST X98 3G, Allview Viva/Impera i10G Windows - Final version! Fully tested!

Atleast 4Gb (8Gb recommend) FAT32 partition on your hard drive. Use MiniTool Partition Wizard for that on Windows.

Android-x86 Installer UEFI Version

Android x86 4.4-r3 EFI build for installation (just for "data.img" and "android.boot" files)

How to install:

Install Android x86 4.4-r3 EFI to FAT32 partition using Android-x86 Installer UEFI Version. (If you have 8Gb FAT32 partition then you can select 3.5Gb for "Data size")

After installation copy and replace "kernel", "initrd", "ramdisk" and "system" from Android x86 build (MM, CM13 or KK (links below)) to just created "AndroidOS" folder (in FAT32 partition). Then delete system.sfs from "AndroidOS" folder.

How to reboot to Android from Windows 10:

Open Settings, and click on the Update & security icon.

Click on Recovery on the left side, and click on Restart now under Advanced startup on the right side.

Select "Use a device"

Select "Android-OS"

Now your tablet will reboot to Android (You do not need to press any button anymore!)

You can also use

a shortcut

which leads you to the step 3. Select "Use a device" directly. You can download Advanced_Startup_shortcut.zip from HERE. TIP: You can also change the shortcut icon. Just download ico-file (for example THIS) and then:

Unzip Advanced_Startup_shortcut.zip and place the shotcut to desktop

Right click shotcut and click properties

Select change icon

Browse to the ico-file and select it

Done
