Android OS на x86

В этой теме обсуждаются вопросы общие для всех Андроидов на платформе x86, конкретно проект портирования Android-х86, а также его братья, не имеющие отдельных тем обсуждения на нашем форуме.

Вопросы, касающиеся только проектов Phoenix OS , Remix OS x86 и Bliss-x86 , обсуждаются в своих темах.
За работоспособность ваших устройств ответственность несёте исключительно Вы. Задавая вопрос, постарайтесь указать следующую информацию .

Hardware List — список совместимого оборудования
Если Вы не нашли в шапке или в листе совместимости версию для вашего компьютера/ноутбука (модификации железа), то следует попробовать разные версии и опытным путём подобрать оптимальную.
• Графическое ускорение нормально работает на видеоадаптерах от AMD и Intel (кроме GMA 500, GMA 600, GMA 3600, GMA 3650, т.к. они основаны на PowerVR).
  Графика nVidia поддерживается начиная с Android-x86 4.4-R3; новое поколение начинает поддерживаться после выхода следующего.
• Ситуация с поддержкой планшетов, Критическое замечание о звуке.
• Чипы, которые реализуют одновременно и WiFi, и Bluetooth работают хуже, чем отдельные.

Загрузочную флешку или диск необходимо записать с помощью Rufus, UNetbootin, LiLi, или WinImage. UltraISO использовать не рекомендуется потому, что созданные им флешки мало где грузятся.

Раздел под Android рекомендуется форматировать в ext3 или ext4 (для версии 5.0 Lollipop и новее) чтобы иметь >4ГБ места под свои нужды и избежать проблем с SuperSU и другим софтом. Форматирование раздела лучше произвести до установки Android сторонним ПО (Acronis, GParted, др.): родной установщик не всегда справляется с этой задачей.

title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1

Тут default указывает номер пункта, котоый будет выбран автоматически после истечения timeout секунд. root и rootnoverify указывают с какого диска, и с какого его раздела загружать выбраную операционную систему. Как и в случае с default, нумерация начинается с нуля. Параметры загрузки прописываются в конец строки, которая начинается со слова kernel. Такими параметрами можно повлиять на многие аспекты работы Андроида с железом. К примеру настроить работу с внешним монитором.

GRUB 2 — следующая версия GRUB. Разработчики писали GRUB 2 «с нуля», чтобы добиться переносимости и модульности.
Используется в образах Android-x86 для компьютеров с новым UEFI-BIOS.
Может хранить свои настроки в файле grub.cfg либо menu.lst. Обычно этот файл лежит на отдельном системном разделе EFI (ESP). Типичное содержимое:

set timeout=60
set gfxmode=1024×768

Android-x86

Run Android on your PC

Installation

Introduction

In particular, you can install Android-x86 to an NTFS filesystem to co-exist with Windows. See the Advanced Section for more details.

Step by Step

• Download an iso image from a mirror site. Usually you should just use the latest image.
• Burn the iso image to cdrom, or create a bootable USB disk (recommended). See the Advanced Section for details.
• Boot from the Android-x86 installation CD/USB, choose the ‘Install Android-x86 to harddisk’ item, as shown below:

Upgrade

You may upgrade an older Android-x86 installation by the installer. Just select the partition containing the older installation. The installer will prompt if you’d like to upgrade it:

If there are multiple older versions in the same partition, the installer will ask which version to upgrade:

Auto Installation

If you want to use Android-x86 as the only OS in your device, you may choose «Auto Installation» under the «Advanced options».

The installer will prompt you to confirm:

After you select ‘Yes’, the installer will erase the whole content of the hard disk, partition and install Android-x86 to it.

If you have multiple hard drives, the installer will let you choose which one to use. Be careful to choose the correct one.

Auto Update

By choosing «Auto Update» under the «Advanced options», the installer could update an older installation automatically.

In this mode, the installer searches a partition named «Android-x86» or the first ext4 partition, and update the older installation in it automatically. If no such a partition is found, the auto update mode will be cancelled.

Other boot options

• Live CD — Run Android-x86 without installation

The item means to boot Android-x86 directly. This is useful to check if your hardware is compatible with Android-x86 quickly. All data is stored in RAM (tmpfs) and will lose after poweroff.

Live CD — Debug mode

See the debug howto for more details.

Live CD — Vulkan support (experimental)

Enable the experimental Vulkan support. Not all GPUs support it.

Live CD — No Setup Wizard

Skip the Setup Wizard. It’s useful if you want to test some apps quickly in live mode.

Live CD VESA mode — No GPU hardware acceleration

Disable GPU hardware acceleration. If you encounter black screen after booting, you may try this mode to see if it’s bootable.

Advanced

Create a bootable USB stick for Android-x86

There are several tools which could be used to create a bootable USB stick for Android-x86. The following tools are available for Windows users:

• Win32 Disk Imager — see demo video.
• UNetbootin — see demo video.
• Rufus — see demo video.
• Linux Live USB Creator (LiLi) — Obsolete software, but used to officially support Android-x86 until v4.4.

For Linux users, just use the standard dd command like:

Multi-Boot

To boot other operating systems, you have to add items for them to /grub/menu.lst. For example, to boot Windows, add the following:

This assumes Windows is installed to the first partition of the first hard disk. Alternatively, you need to change rootnoverify to the appropriate value. See Grub Manual for details.

Updated (2010)

Issues

VMware

You have to change your virtual disk type to be IDE because the default type in VMware is SCSI, and Android-x86 kernel is not configured to support SCSI. You can follow these steps:

1. Create a virtual machine.
2. Edit virtual machine settings after the virtual machine created.
3. Choose the hard disk and remove it.
4. Add a hard disk to create a new virtual disk, then you can choose IDE as your virtual disk type.
5. When finished, you can install android-x86 normally.

Is there a way to change the resolution of the Android after it installs? it boots fine, but it’s kind of grainy and lower-res, like it’s being stretched across the screen.

hello, did you fix the problem? if so, please explain how to do it

its work. but all aplication and game i’ve installed not work, for example “black berry mesenger”, “wechat”, “whatsup”. game: cut of the rup,

OK, it’s not all Apps :D, Only the Applications which have x86 version will work
because I think ARM Emulation Libs still not included in the Android Build

I have installed a lot of apps and games which are platform independent or has a x86 Version

Try to Install Apps from Market, Not using external Apks

it will work on netbook

yes, it should work with any laptop/netbook use BIOS, still no UEFI Support 😦
