Which devices are working on your latest Android-x86 build?
Following devices were reported to run successfully my build, I only own the Acer 1825PT model:
but because I have included a big bunch of hardware drivers the build should also run on laptops of other manufactures or other models with Intel CPU. Just try it!
My automatic screen rotation in tablet or laptop mode is wrong/inverted!
If you have problems with automatic screen rotation on Acer 1825,1820, 1425, 1425 or Packard Bell Butterfly Touch ensure that you have installed the latest bios for your device.
Needed Acer BIOS version is 1.3127 from 2010/06/14 (same version for all Acer devices)
The download seems not available on English Acer support website but on the German one, may also on French or…
How to suspend or power off the device?
Pressing power button twice in one second shows the shutdown dialog. Pressing the power button once starts suspend procedure.
Otherwise you can use the backup-button for shutdown on Acer devices.
My touchscreen is not working after resume from suspend!
This is a known issue, a workaround is suspending and resuming again, after the touchscreen should work again.
For all releases before beta4: Some apps, especially many games (e.g. Angry Birds, Skype, Adobe Flash …), are not available or crashing.
This is due to native ARM code (C/C++) used by these apps, as long as nobody will provide an ARM emulator (included in beta4) for Android-x86 and the app developers are not recompiling these apps they will not work (Feel free to contact the app developers and ask for a x86 compilation! )
My wifi connection is crashing some times/frequently or I am not able to connect!
This problem is reported by different users and seems to be a problem occurring with some router models. Some general tips for WIFI: Use WPA2 encryption, do not use special characters like ÄÖÜ for SSID or password. Try a different channel.
HQ videos on YouTube are not working!
Known issue. No solution available.
How can I use the iso if my device does not have a CD drive?
I recommend UNETBOOTIN for flashing iso’s on usb-sticks. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
If I want to install Android to disk drive which filesystem do you recommend?
I recommend you using ext2 or ext3 filesystems.
My wifi card or other hardware is not working/is not supported!
Please run the following script inside any linux distribution on your device and report me the result:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 | DMIPATH=/sys/class/dmi/id echo ‘####MANUFACTURER:####’ manufacturer=`cat $DMIPATH/uevent` echo $manufacturer echo echo ‘####BOARD:####’ board=`cat $DMIPATH/product_name` echo $board echo echo ‘####PCI:####’ lspci echo echo ‘####USB:####’ lsusb echo echo ‘####INPUT:####’ dmesg | grep input |
How can I upgrade from one of your releases to another?
It exists no easy update mechanism from one release to another! But you could install the new beta onto another device (or to the same because every new build creates its own subfolder based on build date, but install without formatting) and overwrite all files from your old installation with the new ones out of another OS or from liveusb . I have tested it my self and it keeps all configuration and apps. On going from the ics releases supporting root apps, you could also use Titanium Backup (form Market) to save at least your app configuration.

is there any android 4.0 x86 for acer aspire 4752zg?
Acer 1825 Serie:
Im Betrieb ist ein 1825-Su7300 und ein 1825-Su4100.
Die Installation läuft einwandfrei, jedoch wird nach der Installation
Android nicht auf der Festplatte gefunden Deteting……………..
Auf den USB-Stick läuft alle wunderbar.
1.) was wird nach laden des Kernel, und init.img bei Deteting…. gesucht ?
2.) Warum sind bei bei (baugleichen) Geräte unterschiedliche Verarbeitungen vorhanden ?
p.s. Android-x86 wurde bereits erfolgreich betrieben, durch eine System-Aenderung wurde eine Neu-Installation notwendig und diese funktioniert nun nicht mehr.
Gruß Rolf
gute, perfekte, professonelle Software Anwendung.
obwohl die. o.g. Probleme bestehen,
bin ich grundsätzlich zufrieden.
Datei-System möglicherweise defekt ? Bad-Block
hi, ich tippe mal stark auf ein falsches Filesystem? Verwendest du wie in der FAQ angeben ext2/3/4? Falls ja, dann mal versuchen die Partition mit einem anderen Linux, z.B. Ubuntu-Live zu formatieren. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob der Android-x86 installer da 100%ig gut funktioniert. Was meinst du mit unterschiedlicher Verarbeitung?
hi Chris
ja ich glaube auch, es liegt am Filesystem. Obwohl mein System ordnungsgemäß arbeitet, habe ich einige Hinweise in Message gefunden.
Scheint also ein Hausgemachtes Problem zu sein.
FileSystem ext3 bzw fat und die Partition wurde mehrfach mit unterschiedlichen System formatiert natürlich auch mit Android-x86 installer. Unterschiede sind aufgrund des Filesystem wohl bedingt.
Danke für die schnelle Rückantwort !
p.s. habe festgestellt:
der Android-x86 sucht seinen Kernel. Wenn z.b. auf der 1 Platte nichts gefunden wird und dann z.B ein USB-Stick eingesteckt wird, Android-x86 gefunden.
Wie und durch was wird erkannt, das Android-x86 vorhanden ist ?
Hi Rolf,
wo der Kernel gesucht wird, wird durch die bootparameter im Grub angegeben, hast du eine eigene Anpassung vorgenommen? Aber geht es jetzt oder nicht? Einfach auf ext3 installieren, dann sollte das alles funktionieren.
grub wurde angepaßt (mit den kernel-Parameter aus Android-x86) und funktioniert einwandfrei.
