i got it running in virtualbox. just set up a virtual system and use ubuntu linux as the virtual system to be created and use the defaults to create the system :D
[Android Software Development] lufc:
I got it running on an HP DV6 laptop coppied it to a usb drive booted up and it works fine and the internet, nice work thanks for this :)
[Android Software Development] vdub804:
it runs great under vmware workstation 7. even internet works I just wished the real market was pre-installed. im pretty sure someone will get froyo into a iso now that this version is getting attention
[Android Software Development] system02:
will the touchscreen be usable if you install android on a Tablet or UMPC?

I'm getting a Sony Vaio UX this week and that would be a realy cool android device!! :-)
[Android Software Development] Bartkevin:
too bad its only 1.6 would've given this a try if it where 2.2 :/
[Android Software Development] jude1993:
this is only for 84x is their one for 64x i tryed running it on my 64x and it failed, just wondering is their a 64x instead off 84x?
[Android Software Development] minimalism:
Android

It's working here with:

Win 7 64 and Virtualbox as a virtual machine.

Internet is working out of the box.

Looking for a Froyo build now...
[Android Software Development] rbgmode:
:P

Does this have apps to HDD?

lol

This is awesome. Keep up the good work guys.
[Android Software Development] incubus26jc:
looks like their might be an eclair iso on google code.
[Android Software Development] jamezelle:
if you boot from flash drive, the flash drive filesystem is read only, and just loads to ram, so you wouldnt be able to install apks to it they would just install to ram and be destroyed on shutdown
[Android Software Development] incubus26jc:
ive got it up and running finally and video display is totally messed up. Drivers are missing or something. Anything i can do?
[Android Software Development] Ipox:
Doesn't work on my 64, burned the iso on to a DVD.
[Android Software Development] domii:
this is insanely cool, thanks a million...

booted beautifully on my "pre-historic laptop...:P" and my desktop
[Android Software Development] lennysh:
Just installed this in VMWare to a Virtual Hard disk. Now I'm able to save stuff that I've downloaded and installed. Click http://www.android-x86.org/ for more info!
[Android Software Development] daktah:
refuses to recognize and boot during bios boot for me

installed on a cdrw with UNetBootin usb installer

using grub bootloader
[Android Software Development] Rumbi:
The 2.0 Image can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/android-x86/downloads/list

It states that it is for EEEPC but may also work on other devices.
[Android Software Development] CHERNAB0G:
anybody know the back button? ive figured out that the windows symbol is home (you can also press the actual 'home' button) and the button on the right of the space bar with the menu on it is menu (right clicking works as well) but i cant find the back button
[Android Software Development] hassanjanjua2002:
I think esc is back and right click is menu bottun. This is sick btw. Just installed on sony ux. Touchscreen and wifi not working amongst other things, but looks promising if this get more attention. Already saw it on gizmodo so people should start developing **** soon.
[Android Software Development] tbross319:
it has already been asked once, but I was just wondering if anyone had figured out how to get google apps on here? Ive got it fully running including wifi and all that fun stuff, but no google apps. It IS possible to install on the hard disk, not simply booting from flash drive....

Any help would be awesome!
[Android Software Development] d33f:
Here it's working fine too with vmware ^^, also internet is working :D

It gives a nice feeling when you think about running a mobile os on your quadcore pc, all that overkill :D
[Android Software Development] nicandris:
is this the same? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=642645

or do we have something new?
[Android Software Development] Lemcott:
tried to run it on my HP tx2100 (specifically the tx2117cl model) and install it on the HDD (only operating system on it was a beta windows 7 which has expired).

it went through the most of the process, had a bunch of lines about the usb keyboard/mouse i was had plugged in then just went ".................." continuously, just, never ending periods. powered down, tried it again, same.

so i powered down and tried to run as just a live CD boot, went through most of the process "does not support CPU Vendor" (may not be exact wording, turned it off already).

anyway to get this thing working on my laptop? I'm not even gonna bother with my desktop (it's amd as well anyway) because I want to install my laptop into my car as a type of hub, with android as it's OS. I've been waiting for this day forever, looks like I'll have just a little bit more waiting to deal with...
[Android Software Development] HectikDroid:
I tried it on my dv4 but it doesnt show up as a selectable boot? any ideas, sorry Im asking you cuz your running a hp like me....thanks
[Android Software Development] biglo:
I did this like 3 months ago, it was ok but I wanted a newer build to play around with, like 2.0 or 2.1
[Android Software Development] art010606:
i have a DV7 too, not sure how your setup is but ive tried this and cant get it to go.....

i have:

158gb partition for win7

2.2 gb partition that i tried to install this on,

160gb partition for linux.....

wont work booting from install. tried to boot from disk, but wont work as well. i get into the disks bootloader to chose to boot from disk or to install and it doesnt work any way shape or form.
[Android Software Development] gpod:
This would be awesome on my Asus T101MT netvertible in tablet mode! Does anyone know if touchscreens are supported?
[Android Software Development] rarspace01:
The 2.0 Image is here:

http://android-x86.googlecode.com/files/android-x86-eeepc-2.0.iso

You can build a 2.2 froyo image for x68 yourself:

http://www.android-x86.org/getsourcecode

i tried with my ubuntu but it seems that i'm still missing some dependencies.
[Android Software Development] TIQA:
works great on virtualbox, but no mouse :( any suggestions?
[Android Software Development] Xenon0816:
I tried it first with burning the image to a cd... i didn't work...

Now i tried to boot it from usb-device and it booted, but it seems that there are some drivers missing... there is no clear image, everything is just a big abberation. If i move the cursor the whole image moves and twitches around.

I will try the 2.0 build now ;-)
[Android Software Development] Coucher:
Ditto. Running on VirtualBox but would like to get the mouse working.:confused:
[Android Software Development] Xenon0816:
ok i can confirm now, that the 2.0 build is working (booting from usb-drive), but on my pc it runs really laggy and nothing is smooth... i thinks it's beacause the build is especially for eee-pcs and not for normal desktops...
[Android Software Development] r7av7en7:
When I try to boot the 2.0 I get to the Android loading screen and it sits there, still acting as if it's loading but it never does. Using virtual pc, attempting to run in debug mode.

All modes seem to produce the same result however. About to try it on another machine to see if it makes a difference.
[Android Software Development] rarspace01:
i tested the 2.0 image live and in virtualbox, both worked fine for me.

virtual pc isn't a great VM program
[Android Software Development] r7av7en7:
I agree, it's all I can use atm, on a work computer that just so happens to have it installed. I did receive the same results on a different machine so the problem lies within vpc. I'll try virtualbox when I get home.
[Android Software Development] ErwinSprangers:
Will we see Live wallpapers on 2.1 or 2.2?
[Android Software Development] Breakthecycle2:
I put 2.0 on the USB drive but it gets stuck on the Android screen, almost like a boot loop. Any ideas?
[Android Software Development] r7av7en7:
have you tried in debug mode? third option down I believe
[Android Software Development] nuri552:
I just opened it through "VMware Workstation" easily. It's awesome. =)
[Android Software Development] Breakthecycle2:
No I haven't, but I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] Breakthecycle2:
Ok, so I did that and then it prompted me to type exit which I did and my screen just went black and stayed that way..lol.
[Android Software Development] funkeee:
I'm posting from Android via the huge Asus G72. Wireless works perfectly on the 1.6 rom.
[Android Software Development] mr_billionaire:
the guys at Android-x86 have been working on 2.2 since the day Google released the source, they're getting close to a release, i've been following them since there Cupcake builds.
[Android Software Development] mr_billionaire:
it would be better to ask somebody that is actually building these images for the PC and Netbook.

Go Here and ask your questions.
[Android Software Development] Boushh:
Both images are running find on my G1 via Virtual PC. This is quite fun.
[Android Software Development] Vonrottes:
This is SWEET I'm using it right now to post this on my linux pc (Dell GX260)

Pretty fast and I'm running LIMITED resources in Virtualbox! Lol I should make a bootable tumbdrive....or SD..lol

Android with an X11 server and a full hard keyboard is awesome!
[Android Software Development] EJLT:
is there somehow possible to change the resolution?
[Android Software Development] lokie538:
Just tried it as a virtual machine, runs fantastic... Not exactly sure why you would want it tho haha.
[Android Software Development] EJLT:
Yes, if I'll use it as virtual machine, I don't need change resolution. But it has faster start then my Win 7, so I could use it if I want just to search for something on the internet or some other opportunities. By one sentence: Alternative to Asus Splashtop instant-on on my Acer Aspire TimelineX
[Android Software Development] lokie538:
So I did some further testing on this, boot from a flash drive onto my Toshiba Netbook, everything worked fine. Even the webcam, ethernet and wifi. Im thinking this might be handy to run on my netbook just for accessing the internet and calendar untill someone makes a usable daily build of Chrome OS.

Just going to try the 2.0 build now :)
[Android Software Development] hoola20055:
Hey all. I have eclair 2.1 update 1 running on my dell mini 9, been running it for a week now. My battery life is great. Its sluggish in some areas and preinstalled apps revert to default everytime you reboot.

No sound support.

Wifi is working.

I use mysettings.apk to keep my screen alive while using. If you let it goto sleep you can't wake it up without rebooting. Ihave it installed to the internal ssd 8gig.

NO hardware acceleration yet. Gallery is almost unusable at all.

No way to change resolution as I can see.

If anyone can figure out a way to keep settings with default installed apps. Please let me know!!!!! Please.

Brightness works with Fn/8 and 9

Escape = back button/exit

Menu button = screen menu/app menu

Rightclick = back button

Left click hold/ menu

My plug and play usb logitech laser mouse works !!

www.magicandroidapps.com/wiki//index.php?title=Dell_Mini

I would be VERY interested if anyone can figure out how to get sound or get it to keep settings for default apps. Apps you install after android installation keep their settings. Xscope keeps my favorites saved. Default browser don't keep them after reboot.

If you find a way to change walpaper and it keep it after reboot ... please tall me!!

Thanks everyone please let me know any tweaks or anything.
[Android Software Development] art010606:
ok so i installed it to a 2gb partition i made, and the problem is grub isnt picking it up for the bootloader, it shows options for linux and 7 but no android. in system>admin>disk utility it shows windows | android x 86 | linux/swap. i tried sudo update-grub but still nothing.

i can boot in virtual box but its not full screen. ne ideas for booting from hdd?
[Android Software Development] mr_billionaire:
when booting click on the one that says "Debug" then where it says "VGA=788" change that to "VGA=900" it will start to produce code, then when prompted hit Enter, then a list of resolutions pop up, put in the correct code and hit Enter.

you may have to try a couple of them to find the best resolution and colors.

NOTE: note every resolution is supported yet.
[Android Software Development] thatguythatdid:
anyone with an amd processor running this
[Android Software Development] jale:
Using Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (x64):

1.6 works fine.

2.0 will not boot, stuck at ANDROID loading screen. Even if i install it on a hdd.
[Android Software Development] AllGamer:
wow! this is fun, i'll try that on my older PCs :D

once it gets more polished, it'll be the default OS of choice to convert old PCs into netbooks/net-terminals

the coolest thing is if you also have an Android phone, then you can sync you stuff quite easily across the devices :)

How can I use the Android Marketplace on the x86 1.6 r2?

Android 1.6 runs on my Sony Vaio UX1 :-)

Is there any chance to use the touchscreen??

And does anybody know how I can boot from the compact flash or memorystick card instead of a USB flash drive?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] deadnfly:
sound fun!

i plan to try this to my old laptop. but i wonder whether the android can rencognize and install the proper driver for display adapter, wifi, pcmcia etc.
[Android Software Development] Purple Drama Llama:
I'm having an issue. I burned the .iso to a disk and used the program to burn it to a flash drive. Whenever I put it in a computer, it starts booting up, but never gets past the ANDROID# screen. After that is says input signal out of range and goes to sleep, comes back on and does it over and over. I'm not sure why this is happening. In windows I have my moniter set to the suggested resolution. How can I get this to work?
[Android Software Development] :
Is it possible to use later versions instead of 1.6, like 2.0, or 2.1?

Hey I got it working under Virtual Box as a Linux Ubuntu system. Also got the 2.0 image working. I cant get internet working though. My pc is connected wireless and I have the virtual box internet connection on. I've tried all settings for the virtual machine network adapters. Am I missing something?

Is there a x64 version aswell? I would like to try this on my pc but it has win7 x64 and I don't want to install windows' virtual machines

HOW CAN I USE WHITH UNetBootin ?

what should i fill in it?

my connection speed is too slow so i can't reed all posts

what hardware do i need?

should i run it under WINDOWS or boot from flash?
[Android Software Development] jsngrimm:
i figured out how to fix that with the first android x86 build. copy the sontents of cd to flash drive, plug in the drive and boot like normal. it should detect the system on usb and boot :)
[Android Software Development] cynick:
Worked great on VirtualBox except for one issue:

when I tried installing some third party apps, I got an error saying 'No SD Card detected, this app requires SD card to install' or something close to that.

so what I did next was follow some of the instructions here:

android-x86.org/documents/virtualboxhowto

where they talk about creating partitions for the DATA and SDCARD folders...

My problem is that in the debug mode of VirtualBox, once the # prompt comes up, the cfdisk command does not seem to work at all...nothing happens if i type cfdisk and press enter, it just shows a new # prompt on the next line....

Any idea what is going wrong?
[Android Software Development] dubayou:
Cant you just run the android emulator. It runs way better than android-x86 or the other project.

I know -_-
[Android Software Development] cynick:
That is indeed what I have been trying for the last few hours (trying to get the SDK package to install properly so I can use the emulator) but I'm still curious about why the cfdisk command was not working....could it be because I did not have the latest JRE/JDK installed?
[Android Software Development] fonix232:
While the x86 project runs Android natively on the hardware, as you said, the emulator doesn't - it just emulates the Android framework and all.

Native is always better!
[Android Software Development] deathsled:
android on PC currently sucks donkey balls. Once you get it installed you will literally play with it for 5 minutes tops before removing it. Maybe once Intel finally gets their official x86 port out there things will be better, but right now Android on pc hardware is absolutely horrible to use.
[Android Software Development] protomanez:
This. I can only imagine myself using this only if my monitor was touch screen.
[Android Software Development] system02:
Android does NOT support "normal" computers with touchscreens! :-(

I've tried it on a Sony Vaio UX micro PC and I still have to use the mouse stick... no touchscreen :-(((

Or is there any solution to use it WITH a touchscreen on a PC?
[Android Software Development] DWhite456:
I have a Motion Tablet PC w/ pen as pointer. Anyone tried this on an older tablet PC? I know we are seeing more native Android tablets coming out....wonder if it is even worth trying to load the Android OS on this?

Athlon 3500+/MSI K8N Neo4/3 gigs ddr

Got internet working by switching from NAT to Bridged and it worked without a hitch. Boots real quick. Like...5 seconds from starting VirtualBox to desktop..Super quick. Not a fan of the no keyboard or mouse. Big turn off. But hey...it's for a phone..lol

Overall I'm happy to play with it, but as a daily user or anything about casual tinkering with, it's not really suited for it. But it is fun.
[Android Software Development] ExploreMN:
I could be wrong, but my understanding is that Android 1.6 is the only version that supports Intel processor architecture. So...no Froyo... :(

Usb boot trouble

Hi.

Relativley new to Xda Dev but anyway.

I tried this as it says in the first instructions and tried to boot it from my Usb drive, only to be greeted with the dredded 'No BOOTMGR' notification.:confused:

Any help?

Cheers.;)
[Android Software Development] gcrutchr:
I just installed the latest version (unstable v2.2.1 - froyo-eeepc-20110101.iso, Test build 20110101 ) on my thumb drive and booted it using my Asus 1000HE netbook.

Works great although some apps from market get FCs when launched. Otherwise nice operating sytem.
[Android Software Development] ParanoidDK:
As the one providing the nightly build server for android-x86 and i am working onporting it to the latitude d4x0 series, i have to say android misses some to be used without a touchscreen.

But one of the things i will do in the new year is getting a generic atom tablet and work on the port for that also...

And i will look into gingerbread also when i get home from my vacation.

Link to the nighlty builds: http://android-x86.moonman.dk

Can also recomend to report errors on the google group page for android-x86 as that will help more then here...

GAPPS do not work on android-xvh as the ones that one can find are compiled for arm so stuff like marked fc...
[Android Software Development] dark_prince:
F****** brilliant work. I own a D420 laptop (1280x800), by any chance I get android on it, I am gonna start promoting it among my students and teaching-mates. (I work as Lab instructor for Bachelor of Engg students :P)
[Android Software Development] ParanoidDK:
You can try the Latitude build i have on the nightly build server.

I did that for my d430 some few things with it tho... i have build it for the models that use broadcom wifi cards so if you have a intel card i have to change some in the build, and even tho the graphics should be accelerated it is still not the best.

I did't have the time to do some more modding on the latitude build as work did interfere a lot lately and now i am looking at getting a 64bit server so i can move it to gingerbread insted of froyo and also when hc comes out put my time in hc insted of froyo and gingerbread...

There are a few quarks in the froyo on android-x86.

You have to disable ethernet for wifi to be able to get a ip

sleep dont work

But give it a try and let me know if it works for you..
[Android Software Development] dark_prince:
Yup I have just tried it

Ethernet works, wifi doesn't turn on (Error)

When I select HDPI, it still runs MDPI (the resolution isnt widescreen)

The generic version worked perfectly on my native 1280x800 resolution. I went to the IRC for support but no one answered me there :( Wish there is more good way to get help like a forum on android-x86 website.

I will reboot now, to check if wifi really turns on after disabling ethernet.

Edit: Wifi never turns on :(

Edit 2: To install/download apps it requires SD Card. Is there a way that it just download the data on SD card itself?

How about I install it persistent (save settings and data) on USB Flash drive ?
[Android Software Development] ParanoidDK:
What wifi card do you have in the machine... might be the broadcom firmwares that are missing again...

can take a look at the builds again from monday at work...
[Android Software Development] dark_prince:
Its intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG

The broadcomm's is Ethernet, and that is working pitch perfect. Do look at the edits on my previous post
[Android Software Development] ParanoidDK:
See that is why the wifi dont work with the latitude build... that only work with broadcom wifi not intel at the moment... i have broadcom wifi in my d430 so did deside to use that as the base to be able to test it better...

But will add the intel firmware files later when i get the time to work on it again
[Android Software Development] dark_prince:
Many thanks for your work brother

I am running 1.6 r2 now, it has everything working :)

I just want to set screen to 1280x800 now. Is there anything to change regarding that? I have tried dpi = 240 in bootup parameters but my screen still stays big and blurry
