[MENTION=7984683]iLionel[/MENTION] thanks. I'm perfectly aware of how good 4.7 and 4.8 kernels are - I'm the one to recommend them to [MENTION=490310]cheatman[/MENTION] for MagicStick builds.

We're asking for feedback on the build that [MENTION=490310]cheatman[/MENTION] is providing - unmodified. As far as I know it has an old kernel included. Sorry if I'm wrong, I've been using a smartphone to view this thread for months - currently no PC near me so I didn't check the last build.

I am still highly interested in this i hope [MENTION=490310]cheatman[/MENTION] makes android install able instead of liveboot

Though it's not recommended to install it it really easy to do it. I could write a tutorial but I don't know if I'm allowed to post it here

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] TeddyBearTank:
Hello. I'm unsure how to tag people but I'll try to provide what information I can.

The install options for both operating systems worked flawlessly for me - however, I did not attempt dual boot or multiple installs. I simply wiped the drive, and hit install. Android was a pleasure to use on the machine - nearly everything worked flawlessly. However there was a bug in which, for me, WiFi would drop connection (at any strength) and suddenly the system options for WiFi would get tied up. I somewhat narrowed this down to an effect of the "system app" options for WiFi, and the "QuickBar drop-down" options trying to cancel each other out, and due to lag, end up in a loop - by removing the Notification toggle for WiFi, I seemed to lessen the occurrence of the issue, but not sufficiently enough to use Android.

As I said, everything else about Android was smooth and bug-free. In working on the WiFi issue I tried disabling all optimization functions of the OS, resetting caches, apps, the tablet itself - and nothing save the removal of the toggle option made any difference.

I got this tablet for a very good price, and it runs Android stunningly well. I'm delighted you keep this project updated, and that there's only a few tiny wrinkles before the project is nearly perfect :D

Thank you and please let me know what else I can do and provide to you as feedback.

Is the Android kernel on the Magic Stick a version compiled for the T100-TA or just a generic one?

Also .. does anyone have an optimal grub config for Android on the T100-TA? and/or know possibly if/where there might be pre compiled versions of newer kernels?

I ask because most of the posts here aren't specific as to whether they're about Android or Linux on the stick, and the main post doesn't say.

I finally tried your V2 stick but unfortunately I can't even reach the grub screen.

I can select my usb stick by pressing escape at boot as usual, but after I press enter, black screen with back light only.

I guess this is a problem on my side as I noticed the same behaviour with the CM13 android x86 project official iso.

I am using the same key that successfully booted you v1.5 and v1.6 magick stick in the past a good bunch of time.

Did anyone face the same issue?

Hello

Thank you very much for this stick

thanks for hellping :)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] ViralThread:
Last night after several failed attempts at installing the Ubuntu 16.04 64 ISO on Google Plus offered by Brainwreck, I downloaded the v2 beta and gave that a shot.

Have not tested Android but Ubuntu installed without issues, boots and runs stable, and updated without issues. I have not updated the kernel or anything like that.

I'd be curious to know if we can take the 16.04 64 bit project located here

"plus..google.com/115582184723609367547/posts/CRTyP7DAYvc?sfc=false"

Into the MagicStick? It boots and runs fine as a Live boot but upon install it fails at the efi portion and I cannot get it to boot into the freshly installed system to perform the changes that make it all work.

I was curious if installing the 15.04 version and then duplicating the boot partition so I can reconstruct it after the 16.04 install crashes but I didn't know if that was possible (use the 15.04 boot files to kickstart the 16.04 install). They are both 32b efi if I understand correctly.

Input welcome.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] ViralThread:
After using the installation for some rudimentary file management and encryption tasks, light web surfing, and random video playback, the battery life seems noticeably improved. Ubuntu is reporting eleven hours on a full battery.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Anghirrim:
I remember that there was a tutorial to customize a Ubuntu livecd in order to make it your very own.

It involved mounting the squashfs system file plus doing some chroot. Maybe you can use the same approach and dist-upgrade the magic stick?

Edit: Found an english version

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] ViralThread:
At present, it's fairly stable and very responsive. The battery life is good. I don't need Bluetooth to work so I just stripped it out.

Also screen rotation isn't a huge deal for me as it's been used primarily as a netbook and not a tablet.

If I could get sound from both speakers that would be good. Currently it's just the right speaker working.

Run directly on SD Card slot

hello, I've successfully ran Android from a card reader but on usb 3.0 port.

I would like to run it without the dock, and also without using a USB OTG on the micro usb port. However, my T100TA doesn't recognize the SD card slot as a boot option even I've inserted a copy of T100 stick on the sd card.

Any way to make SD card slot one of boot options on UEFI/Bios?

Thanks
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] HughR:
As I understand it, the UEFI firmware has no driver for the SD card. So you cannot boot from the SD card interface.

On the other hand, you could copy some stuff onto the eMMC device and get the same effect. In Linux, that means merging the contents of /boot/efi from the SD card into system partition of the eMMC device AND make the contents of the SD card's /boot available on the eMMC (the kernel and the initial ramdisk). The rest of the SD card becomes available because the Linux kernel does have a driver for the SD interface.

I don't know how Android differs.

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Valkiry:
Try my build HERE

and add "i915.modeset=0" to the boot command (Press "E" before selecting and add the command in like this: [IMG="Grub edit boot"]https://i.stack.imgur.com/0Cfhc.png[/IMG]) and obviously F10 to boot and see how you go. if you encounter random freezes use intel_idle.max_cstate=0 to fix that
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Esyc:
Thanks for the work [MENTION=490310]cheatman[/MENTION]. Everything, including installing Android, worked great for me. I already had Ubuntu installed based on the work done by the Google+ group, so I'm not sure if that made it more smooth.

I've been testing it out for a while and I only experience two minor issues:

- Hard drive is always spinning if the dock is connected. It eats away at the battery power. I'll probably just end up disconnecting it anyway becuase the drive would be more useful to me in an enclosure with USB. Is there any way to disable it from Android without the command line?

- When you turn the screen on from sleep, it displays the last state of the screen before it was turned off, at full brightness. You have to press the power button again to "refresh" the screen and make it react to touch events and brightness. Just a minor thing, but it took me a few to figure out what was going on.

This project brought my T100 back to useability as an Android tablet, so thanks again for all the work!
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] lfom:
Hello, there!

I have the same problem with a Thinkpad 8 (almost same hardware as T100: Baytrail SoC, 32 bit UEFI, same WiFi card). It can boot many Android x86 builds, even with WiFi, but sound and rotation don't work. I have tried this build and another one from Google Groups that supposedly has everything working for Baytrail devices, but I can't boot: either the device reset or it stays on a blank screen. I've tried this modifications to grub.cfg:

- i915.modeset=0

- i915.modeset=1

- nomodeset

- xforcevesa

- vga=XXX

- set gfxpayload=1024x768

- androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64 / androidboot.hardware=android_x86

Probably the issue is that TP8 has a different screen resolution (1920x1200). What is your devices's resolution?

Anyone could have another tip or idea to make it boot? Thanks!
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] cheatman:
The T100 maximum resolution is 1024x768

Hi Cheatman,

Nice work on this stick, I did install android on a ext4 partition on my t100ta and it works.

Also updated to the latest 13.0.5-r1 version without any problems.

Of course there are some problems like

- not working camera

- camera light that is always on.

- screen brightness control

- google cast does not work

Also tried to update to cm-x86-14.1-rc1 but that does not work.

Are you planning on making new builds of your stick?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Howard_Stark:
Install android

Hi Cheatman,

You have done a really awesome work with this stick, it works perfectly on t100ta.

I was wondering if there is any way to install only android on the internal flash. I tried everything but with the most successful attempt i only got stuck on the boot logo.

Memory size

Hi, I created the Magic Stick and tried both Ubuntu and Android from the stick. After a while i installed Android on my Asus T100TA from the stick using the install option while booted from the magic stick. So far, it works great. Only problem: i now have only a few Mb's memory left after starting Android. is there any possibility to use my complete flash memory of 32Gb? Do i have to install on a different way?

Regards, Gert

Hello guys, Awesome work! Im trying to recover pictures from deleted partition.

I tried everything, hirens bootcd, ubcd, to run testdisk but with gpt boot it's not easy, and i didn't find anything.

So i found it. Running live from usb i tried to update sources of universe, in order to install testdisk, but i get error in 15.04 vivid distro. I dont get errors if i change sources to 14.04 and 16.04 but there is a file lib3gntfs351 from 15.04, that is 341 and 361 in the others versions respectively.

So i changed sources from devel to vivid and get error again. i changed sources tons of times and get the same error, something missing in repository.

So, is there a similar this one but with 16.04 or 14.04 available? because 15.04 sources are not working on update. Thanks.

Can i install just the Android and remove the Windows? If yes, how do i do this good. thx @ advance.

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Nikhoss:
First, thanks a lot for your great work!

I discovered your work thanks to this guy: https://linuxnorth.wordpress.com/

I installed Ubuntu yesterday and it is working well :)

I noticed few things:

- Only right speaker is working

- Touchscreen is not working very well

- Multitouch on touchpad is not working (I miss two-finger scrolling!)

Do you encounter the same problems?

Also, as you wrote on first post, Bluetooth is not working. Do you plan to make it working? Can we help?

If you update the Magic Stick, how do we update our installed Ubuntu? Do we have to reinstall everything from scratch?

Sorry for my newbie's questions! Anyway, thanks again for your work ;)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] cheatman:
All of the issues are related to the quality of the existing device drivers. For the mouse pad, not only multi-touch support is required, but also OS level gesture support as well. There is nothing I am willing to do about these issues.

You will, however, notice you cannot use apt-get to update the system in Ubuntu. This is an error in my build and will be fixed in the next release. I don't know when the release will be, as I have a mood+time problem at the moment, but you can fix it manually by changing the contents of the installed /etc/lsb-release file so Ubuntu knows what version it really is.

Cheers,

C.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Scayris:
Hello,

first off, thank you for creating this bundle, having a kernel that plays nice with the machine on the install media really helps, plus the other fixes don't hurt either :) That said, I still ran into some issues.

First one is the whole apt distribution version /etc/issue & /etc/lsb-release thing which I managed to get sorted out. I'm only mentioning it as a tip to others: you can already edit these two files in live session to avoid any potential mess they could cause.

Second one is the touchscreen lags which I understand are kernel/driver related, but they don't seem to appear in live session. Any idea why that could be and how we could get that behavior into installed version as well?

Third, and the most annoying one for me, is that I'm getting random suspends every 10 or so seconds. First one is right after logging into installed system and sometimes it's also the last, but sometimes the system will keep suspending constantly (although it will also wake up nicely with power button) until rebooted. Are there any scripts that are ran at boot that could be causing this? Or any other reason for it? If not, I'd at least like to know how to disable suspend altogether, because while working suspend is nice, this issue makes the install unusable.

Thanks again for your work and the work of all others involved. Cheers!

EDIT: I believe I've found a fix for the suspend issue: in System Settings => Power set "When the lid is closed" option to "Do nothing". It appears to keep detecting a closed lid and suspending because of it. I'll have to test this out a bit more, a few reboots, etc, but as soon as I disabled it in a running session the suspends stopped happening.

I hope this is nothing serious.

It seems I cant set the time, it wont sync and if I do it by hand, it stays at 2 jan 2012. Setting it from the terminal is also not working. If looking at what is mounted, every thing seems to be mounted rw.

Android seems to follow the system clock, which was on the complete wrong time.

I am updating the Magic Stick to the latest software versions. Some fixes will also be included for known bugs such as the update center not working in Ubuntu. New drivers are available for Android and auto-rotation should work, as well as saving persistent data on the stick (this was a popular feature request and easy to implement in this version).

The update should be live in a couple of hours, after I beta test it and make sure the stuff works (and tablets don't blow up).
