Step 3: Prepare the USB thumb drive
Linux users:
•Unzip the downloaded file: `unzip your_installer_file.zip'
•Insert the USB thumb drive into your machine
•Open your terminal application and find the device name of the thumb drive. Run `dmesg' and look near the end for a name like "/dev/sdX" where X is a letter.
•Unmount any partitions that were automatically mounted: `sudo umount /dev/sdX*' (Where X is the letter from above)
•Write the live.img file from the extracted zip to the USB flash: `sudo dd if=live.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M conv=fsync' (Where X is the letter from above)
Windows users:
•Extract the installer image from the downloaded zip file
•Download "Image Writer" application from https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/ and extract it to a folder of your chioce.
•Insert your USB drive into your computer.
•Find the drive letter of your USB drive by opening 'My Computer' on the desktop.
•Run Win32DiskImager.exe from Image Writer's directory.
•In Image Writer's window, select the installer.img you extracted from the downloaded zip
•In Image Writer's window, select your thumb drive's letter that you found in 'My Computer'
•Click "Write" and wait until the process is over.
Mac users:
•Extract the installer image from the downloaded zip file
•Open the Terminal (under Utilities)
•Execute `diskutil list' to get the current list of devices
•Insert your USB drive into your computer.
•Execute `diskutil list' again and determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g. /dev/diskN)
•Execute `diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN'
•Execute `sudo dd if=live.img of=/dev/diskN bs=1m'
•Execute `diskutil eject /dev/diskN' and remove your flash media when the command completes.
Step 4: Prepare device for installation:
•Set the device to boot from the USB thumb drive (device-specific instructions can be found on the devices page.
•Make sure "UEFI Boot Support" is enabled in the BIOS.
Step 5: Install the system.
• Plug in the USB thumb drive with the Android-IA installer image created in step 1
• Power on the device
• From the boot menu, choose "Install Android to hard disk"
• Wait until the installer finishes
• Unplug the USB thumb drive
• Power off the device by holding down on the power button for 10 sec., then power on the device and choose "Boot Android system" (or let the countdown timer expire)
You're done! Enjoy your Android-IA device.

Hello.
I installed the latest Android-IA (android-4.2.2_r1-ia1) on my Acer Iconia W700, and it works perfectly. The only downside (however, huge one) is the lack of libhoudini - without it half of android apps refuse to load on x86 processor. Which, by the way, scores ~70000 in Antutu (!)...
I searched everywhere, but there's just too little information on both libhoudini as well as Android-IA . Please, can anyone help in porting this library to Android-IA? I know it is not open source, but so are gapps, and Android-x86 already uses libhoudini. So there shouldn't be any real difficulties...
WBR, Draco.

I remember finding a manual install of libhoudini somewhere but it didnt work. That was with the february version of A-IA, though.

Hi there
I'd also be glad to hear more about that...From what I could gather so far, there is no fully working ARM translator / libhoudini solutions for android IA. Hence the only solution would be to switch to android x86...

Change dpi and get bluetooth working with android and windows 8.1 at the same time
Do these changes if you are confident in your skills. I'm student and quite busy so if you ask something it can take some time for me to answer. Damages you might do to your system are your own responsibility. I have tested these instructions with Acer W700 on android-4.2.2_r1-ia3 and can confirm that they worked for me.
First changing dpi from original 213 to 160:
1. Get file manager on android like ES file Explorer
2. R/W rights to whole system on android
3. From root go to /system/etc/machine-props/
4. Open acer-w700.prop with ES Explorer and edit line "ro.sf.lcd_density = 213" and change 213 to 160
5. Reboot android and system should now be 160 dpi
Now about that bluetooth. I find it annoying that you have to pair your bluetooth mouse and keyboard again every time when you switch between android and windows 8.1. So I did research and found a way to fix this problem and here's how to do it. I can confirm that this works with Acer bluetooth/cover keyboard and MS Sculpt touch mouse.
1. Pair your bluetooth devices first with android and the with Windows
2. On Windows download PsExec
3.Then from downloaded file copy PsExec.exe in Windows to directory C:\Windows\System32 or to directory where your System32 folder is.
4. Write in the search cmd and run it as administrator
5. Then use command: psexec -s -i regedit.exe
6. Now go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BTHPORT\Parameters\Keys
7. From \Keys you can find your paired bluetooth devices. First there is the devices bluetooh mac address and 32 numbers long linkkey. Now write those linkeys and mac addresses up or copy them.
8. Now everything is set on Windows side. Next boot to android.
9. On android you need again for example ES file Explorer and R/W rights
10. With file Explorer fro root go to /data/misc/bluedroid/
11. Open file called BT_config.xml
12. From text find your devices using mac address
13. When you find you devices mac addres scroll down and you should see line with linkkey and 32 number code.
14. Now take that 32 number code you got from Windows
15 You have to change it little so the linkey works and here how it's done:
for example your Windows linkkey is "12345678qwertyuiasdfghjkpoiuytre" now set it as 8 number clusters like this
"12345678 qwertyui asdfghjk poiuytre"
Now you have to reverse those 8 number clusters
Take the set on far right "poiuytre" and mark it like this "po iu yt re"
Now reverse those pairs like this "re yt iu po"
Now "reytiupo" this is the first line in the new linkkey
Do the same for other three cluster. After it's done this example linkkey looks like this "reytiupojkghdfasuityerqw78563412"
16. When you have your modified Windows linkkey ready you can just replace the old one from the file BT_config.xml
17. Now just reboot android and your keyboard and mouse should work.
I've found that sometimes when switching from Windows to android bluetooth doesn't connect. Just reboot android and your bluetooth devices should connect.
I would have posted this on deveopers site where people visit more often but you need 10 posts and this is my first one so if you can you should link my post there so more people can enjoy these instructions.
Thank you for reading this and don't forget to like it :good:

Anyone know where to find the source code for this?

This guide is for Windows XP, I'm windows7 user before but I downgrade because I want to use my other old softwares for flashing. If you get the idea you can do this also on windows7.
------------------------------
NOTE:
- For windows7 user Run As Administrator the IUW application.
- 64bit Operating System may not work with IUW application.
------------------------------
NOTE: If your tablet showing version 6.1.5 (559[or higher]) or 0.6.1.2(587) Then you can skip some part of the guide. Scroll down directly to the "Alternative Solution" using MicroSD burning. You still need to download the Android 2.2 Froyo Main Firmware.
------------------------------
:: Preparing the Male to Male USB Cable :: (if you have one skip this)
Ok let's start, what you need is a male to male USB cable, if you don't have one you can make your own male to male cable.
Tools
- 2 USB Cable
- Scissor or Cutter
- Electrical Tape or anything to cover the exposed wire
- Solder Lead (Optional)
- Soldering Iron (Optional)
1. Cut each USB to the nearest tip of the female, to make your USB cable longer.
2. Cut each end of the USB to expose the wires and copper wires.
3. Now you can connect each end of the USB, and twist each wires, you can solder it if you like.
4. Now you can tape each wires, and tape all the wires.
This is the finish product.
:: Preparation for Files and Flashing Procedures ::
*Note: Please PM me if there are missing links.
Download IUW 1.1 Flashing Tool
Download Firmware V2852
Download Uboot - V 0.6.1.2(587) working camera
Download Main Android 2.2 Froyo ROM with Flash 10.1
Download New Ramdisk image to change the path of save files to SDCard1

- then reboot.
Remove all microSD so that it will not start burning if you have firmware on your microSD.
Visit this link how to clean the data for your tablet.
------------------------------------------------------------
:: Let's Start ::
1. Make a Folder on your desktop for fast track of your files, I named it Froyo 2.2 and save all your downloaded files here.
2. Download IUW Flashing tool, and save it inside the folder of your desktop.
3. After download, unpack it inside the folder.
NOTE: Your tablet should be full charged, and connect the charger while flashing, just to make sure it will not drain much power on your tablet. Don't forget also to remove all your MicroSD cards from the tablet.
4. Since your done making your USB Cable, your tablet should be off and plug the other end USB to the PC and plug the other end on your tablet USB Port between the headphone jack and SDCard Slot 1.
5. Open the IUW application, select Link USB on the left side. And on the Link information the DV (driver) is greyed, because it's not detecting the tablet with driver.
6. Power up the tablet with this combination Power + Menu button for few seconds until you see the message on your tablet "Communicating with PC..."
7. A New Hardware notification will pop up on your PC Screen.
(you have 2 minutes to setup this or the tablet will boot normally)
Select Advance, Next.
Browse the driver from your desktop inside the folder "otg_driver"
Then it will install the driver.
The flasher will turn to green.
:: FLASHING V2852 ::
This rom will only run on tablets which display a version number in the bottom-right "Infotmic" screen when first turned on.. If yours doesn't display a number there, you will need to flash firmware v2852 first.
8. 'Choose a wrapped image' press the "..." button Select the IUS file "WWE10B_Android_393477-v9full.ius"
9. Click 'burn' to flash the tablet.
This picture is flashing the tablet.
10. After burning finishes, plug out the USB cable and press Reset, then restart the device.
:: Flashing UBOOT ::
11. Open UIW application, and connect your tablet USB to PC.
12. Select "Link USB" on "USB Mode:" select "Expert Mode" Uncheck all except "UO".
13. Browse the "u-boot-nand.bin" the one with working camera.
14. After flashing this is the result.
15. Your screen with start to flicker, it will start to initialize.
16. I will take time to load up, until you are in display calibration.
:: Flashing IMAGES ::
17. Power off your tablet, and prepare again the UIW to flash the main android 2.2 firmware.
18. Click Link USB, and select Expert burn.
NOTE: Use the other Ramdisk.img fix you download, not from the flash10.1-android2.2 folder.
19. Power up the tablet with this combination Power + Menu button for few seconds until you see the message on your tablet "Communicating with PC...", if the Dv is green your ready and click the burn button.
20. I will take time to load up, until you are in display calibration and your Done!
:: Alternative Solution ::
If you cant burn the main android image using USB method. You can try the MicroSD card method, but this is only applicable if your tablet will display the version under the InfoTMIC start up logo.
Lets make a bootable MicroSD, to convert the file size to 700~705MB, you need a MicroSD at least 1GB.
Download WinHex with MicroSD Clone Image.
1. Open your WinHex
2. Click Tools->Disk Tools->Clone Disk->
3. On Source Raw Image: click the file button.
locate the "aben.start sector" file, click open.
4. On Destination Medium: click the drive button.
locate the Physical Media of your card reader/MicroSD, ok.
5. Fill in the Start Sector with 0 (zero).
6. Click OK, and WinHex pop up will appear, click OK and it will start cloning the image file to your MicroSD.
7. A notepad will pop up that you are done cloning the image, close and press OK on the pop up message.
8. Close WinHex, and safely remove the card reader/MicroSD.
9. Plug the card reader/MicroSD again, and do a quick format.
10. If you successfully formated the MicroSD to 700~705MB then create an "android" folder, and copy all the main image files on the folder. And your Done! :: If you fail there are some other reason, some card reader is not working properly, try to find another card reader, if your phone has MicroSD Slot and able to communicate and serve as card reader, you can use this also.
- ramdisk (use the other ramdisk you download)
- system
- uImage
- userdata
some optional or skipped file.
- u-boot-nand (android v2.2)
- zSYS (Flytouch Official Image 3245)
This is what's inside the MicroSD on android folder.
12. After copying the files plug the MicroSD at the top most/Slot 1 between the 2 USB port.
13. And Power On your Tablet, and it will start Flashing just like here on the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47kf4-Vbba8#t=3
You can also use this MicroSD to downgrade back to 3245 firmware.
Thank you.

Can you see the version under the InfoTMIC start up logo?
If you can see it then you are ready to update using MicroSD method.
@smarkies
no there is no version number
first time I connected to pc it said found new hardware but no driver. There I selected the otg driver in the package.
Burntool does connect and goes up from 0 to 100 procent (very quick about 7 secs.) when i burn but when i check im still on my previous build.
After that I tried to update to other firmware using update.zip on winhexed sd card. This did work so now I am on 1623 build.
after that I tried again using burntool but still didnt work out.
In the folder containing the 2852 rom there are also two folders
0.6.1.2_1.4.587_OV2655 and
0.6.1.5_1.4.587_GT2005
both contain uboot and uboot nand files is there something I have to do with them before I can flash?
Any advice?
Other thing I noticed: in recovery menu there is a line saying:
e:can't open / cache / recovery / command
It didnt stop me from update with update zip but could it be the reason burntool isnt working for me?

dont touch any file inside the folder of 0.6.1.2_1.4.587_OV2655 and 0.6.1.5_1.4.587_GT2005.
Try to burn the UO first, u-boot-nand.bin the one with working camera, if not try this another u-boot-nand.
Then burn the Main Image Android Rom.
Thanks for the quick repy to be sure I wont Brick my Pad
for the uo file I use Uboot - V 0.6.1.2(587) or uboot - 0.6.1.5 (587)
and for the ROM files I only use files from the 20110416-v1001 folder?
If so I will burn right away

I abused my pad flashing many times, and still it is alive, It will brick if your USB cable is poorly made, or overpowered that will fry the motherboard of your tablet, just like what happen to other people.
the safest way to flash is microSD, but it is tricky with this froyo update that's why I risk on flashing using USB.
V 0.6.1.2(587) this one has working camera. But you can try both uboot to display the version under the InfoTMIC logo. But I use V 0.6.1.2(587) coz I want the camera to work fine.
Yes the files inside the 20110416-v1001 folder except for the u-boot-nand inside.
If the USB flashing doesnt work you can try the alternative, using the microSD.
Thank u very very much worked like a chime.
camera and wifi are working I used uo V 0.6.1.2(587)
will play with it tonight to see what else it can do now

Check my post, applanet can help you with that hehehehe.
This is my screen now.
with new virtual keyboard.
I also try swapper2, they say it can improve the performance. This is my Terminal Emulator.
IUW does not work with 64 bit
Please add in the OP that some on other forum sites have confirmed that IUW does NOT work with any 64 bit operating system.
I will link to reference if I come across it again...
For Development USB debugging options for Z4Root, you may also want to link to my post HERE.
quick tip for windows 7 users, picture 6 will not happen, at least it didn't for me, you need to navigate to devices and printers, find the unknown device, and manually install the otg driver
Works as advertised.
I bricked my tab first, but got it up and running again with your step by step guide. Many thanks!
I followed your instruction for SD card and it worked perfectly. I now have the 3925 version on my Superpad and it seems to be working well. Definite improvement on Angry Birds(which I play way too much) and Home Run Battle 3D. WiFI works fine, don't know about GPS or camera as I don't really use them, but I will check just for curiosity sake Seems to be faster and I have had no random lockups that I had with the v5 I had on previously. I will report back as I use it. Thanks for all the great work!

Yes, that's why I made it with Windows XP, and we are aware that 64bit OS is so choosy in terms of software compatibility.
About the USB Debugging, I already made a guide after the Flashing/Burning guide.

Wifi dont work, but connecting using 3g data plan work. Cant access to o3d memory yet (internal sd nor external sd). Everything else that i tried is working fine, except for the "security testing"(since im new to ubuntu, still trying to figure it out), wondering if any experts can help by build the image file so that it can access, both internal and external sd, as i used to have when using maverick.

Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich for PC​
This tutorial is for installing Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 on your PC, in this case create a Live USB Android to run a more portable, fully functional, fast, and handy for using. It works for x64 & x86 computers. (Tested on a computer x64 with an Intel Corei5).
:::>Requirements:
-ISO RC2 Android 4.0.4 ICS ***mod edit
-LiLi (Linux Live USB Creator) ***mod edit
-Pendrive 512mb minimum (USB1)
-Pendrive 2Gb minimum (USB2)
-PC
:::>Instructions:
1- Connect your Pendrive USB1 and apply a quick format to delete all files stored in pendrive.
2- Run LiLi (Linux Live USB Creator) and where it says 'Step 1' select your pendrive USB1.
3- Then select where it says ISO / IMG / ZIP and select the ISO Android 4.0 you downloaded.
4- Click the yellow lightning symbol is at the bottom. when you click LiLi will start the process of creating and recording of Android 4.0 on your USB1. Just wait for it to finish the process (the program will indicate this in the section of the yellow lightning).
5- Conect your pendrive USB2 and reboot your PC.
6- Upon restart, enter bios boot device selection to tell the PC you want to boot from your USB1 (for booting selection, this depends of your pc, in some case is F12, F9, F8, DEL, you will have to investigate it)
7- Boot from your USB1. A window of Android-x86 will appear, select 'Install to harddisk ".
8- Many letters and codes appear for several seconds, do not worry is normal as you start reading all the drives and partitions that are connected to the PC.
9- Then, a list of drives connected, is a list where the right is the name of the connected hardware or drive, here you will recognize the name (brand) of your USB2, example: "sdc1 DTRAVELER KINGSTON G2". When you recognize your USB2's name, select it.
10- Now it asks you, format your USB2?, select 'ntfs' or 'fat32'
11- Now it asks you, want to install the GRUB bootloader?, select 'YES'
12- Asks you if you want to create the DATA partition on Android, select 'YES'. its default value is 512MB, I recommend minimum 1024MB. Then select 'YES'.
13- Then it begins to create Android in USB2, when it ends select 'Reboot'.
14- Your PC will reboot, enter in bios selection boting device and boot from your USB2, then select 'Run Android x86', then Android ICS will start, only set it as you want. And it's everything. It is not necessary make root, it is rooted
:::>Recommendations of essential apps for this rom:
--To turn off the screen and lock:
Download 'Screen Off and Lock' ( Katecca) or 'Turn Off The Lights' (Protoport)
- -To sleep your PC, just press the power button once, and Android will be lock and turn off the screen and sleep your PC. To restore just press any key again and wake up your PC showing the lock screen of Android.
--To exit of android and reboot the PC, just press CTRL + ALT + DEL.
--To exit of android and turn off the PC, just press the power button for several seconds after turning off disconnect your USB.

Questions:
Will I be able to use internet via my Ethernet port???And what about a webcam?
I assume the iso is from:

So just go there, you'll find more files and tutorials too.

Use a bigger USB, and if that's not the issue then modify the boot.img to allow larger storage.

I've written this extensive guide, it is as detailed as possible and it is written as easy and as understandable for new user.
This guide is, however does not put guarantee of any action you've done outside the guide itself. Anything such as partitioning, OS installing or uninstalling is not guaranteed by me or by anyone at XDA. You're doing this at your own will.
Preparations :
1. Any computer / device that supports installation via flash driver / disc (or have enough space for VM)
2. Any media that is mentioned below (either flash drive, CD / DVD, or VM)

1. Download Android x86 ISO.
You can download it here
If your device isn't listed there, download Generic ICS build here : Click ! [You need to unzip after download]
The newest KitKat build is unified and it's also generic. It supports wider range of hardware, but it does not support LAN device (yet). You can download it here
Follow the guide with your preferred installation method.
If you're using USB stick / Flash Drive :
2. Download UNetbootin
You can download it here : Click !
On Ubuntu (11.04 and higher, or its derivatives) you can type : sudo apt-get install unetbootin
On Arch (or its derivatives) type : pacman -S unetbootin
3. Run UNetbootin, select the Android x86 ISO
4. Select USB drive (make sure you don't select your HDD partition), then click OK
5. The UNetbootin will copy and install Android x86 live image & installer to your flash drive
6. Reboot your device after the process is completed

If you've installed GRUB, do not select yes.
13. Another prompt, 'make system r/w', select yes (this enables root and read write access to your system partition)
14. If you're using Android x86 4.0.3 and older, you'll be prompted to install virtual sdcard, input 2GB (maximum size)
15. Reboot your device
If you're using CD / DVD

How to add Android x86 to GRUB Menu
For GRUB 1.97 - 1.99 / 2.00
1. To make it easy, install GRUB Customizer
Type these into terminal emulator :
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
2. Open GRUB customizer, make a new GRUB entry.
3. Open 'Sources' tab, type these :
Code:
[B]set root='(hd0,4)'[/B]
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=[B]root e1f9de05-8d18-48aa-8f08-f0377f663de3[/B]
linux [B]androidx86[/B]/kernel root=UUID=[B]e1f9de05-8d18-48aa-8f08-f0377f663de3[/B] quiet [B]androidboot.hardware=generic_x86[/B] SRC=[B]/androidx86[/B] acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode
initrd [B]androidx86[/B]/initrd.img
Pay attention for the bolded part, here's what to change :
1. set root='(hd0,4)' : Change the (hd0,4) to partiton Android x86 is installed.
The hd0 means sda, so if you install it to sdb, it'll be hd1 and so on.
The hd0,4 means the partition number, in my case, hd0,4 means sda4. So if you install it on sda6, it'll be hd0,6.
2. --set=root e1f9de05-8d18-48aa-8f08-f0377f663de3 : The random number here is the UUID of partition Android x86 is installed
You must change it to correct UUID, you can easily got UUID by creating new entry in GRUB Customizer then go to Options tab, then select the 'Linux' option in dropdown. You'll see partition dropdown, select your partition. Open the source tab, you'll see the UUID there.
3. androidx86/ : The root of Android x86
Change it into your Android x86 root. You can see what's your Android x86 root by navigating to Android x86 partition, and you'll see a folder name started with 'android', that's the root of your Android x86
4. androidboot.hardware : Your device, of course.
Note : If you're using Android 2.3 - 4.0.3, change it to androidboot_hardware
Here's the list of hardware :
Code:
- generic_x86 : If your hardware isn't listed, use this
- eeepc : EEEPC laptops
- asus_laptop : ASUS laptops (supported ASUS laptops only)
GRUB 2.0 tutorial is the same like GRUB 1.97-1.99.

FAQ
-------------
Q : Does this work on my device ?
A : Try it ! There's generic build which supports many device.
Q : Which release should I pick ?
A : Generic is recommended (if your device isn't listed in download list), if your device is supported (like EEEPCs for example), pick one for your device. Do take a note that newer builds uses unified image, which means it supports wide range of hardware.
Q : Will this overwrite my old OS ?
A : As long as you install it in different partition and you did the right setup, you are good to go !
Q : Why does my network / touchscreen / mouse / etc, doesn't work ?
A : Mostly this is a driver problem. Try to use newer / older release. If it doesn't work, try different build for other device (there's a chance this will fix your problem)
Q : Does Android x86 works on USB disk (as a Live Image / as an OS itself) ?
A : It does, I have tested it on Gingerbread and ICS release.
Q : Why deep sleep / suspend doesn't work on my device ?
A : This is one of the issue on Android x86. The developer might be working on a fix.
Q : It doesn't work on a VM setup !
A : Check your configuration and virtual disk, Android needs at least 2GB of free space.
Q : Why does games feel choppy when played ?
A : This is because the game uses ARM libs / libraries which is not optimized for Android x86 (which uses ARM to x86 translator by Intel). On newer build, like unofficial Lollipop release doesn't include ARM to x86 translator, so it can't execute any ARM libraries or binaries.
Q : Android 4.4.2 RC-1 hangs on bootscreen (the flashing Android logo / tty1 terminal) !
A : Check your hardware, if you're using x64 probably the x64 isn't supported yet. Also, try using older release.
Q : There's no Play Store !
A : Sometimes, nighlies build (as Custom ROMs user calls it) is uploaded, this type of build doesn't have GApps. Also, if you're using deprecated release (old release), they have Android Market instead of Playstore.
Q : Can you flash .zips in this ?
A : You can, but it's not recommended.
Q : Play Store only have small amount of app !
A : Because Play Store detects your device as Android with a x86 CPU. This kind of CPU isn't widely used by apps in Play Store (most CPU in Android phone is ARM)

Yes, it will work on both. Not sure about the touchscreen and the keyboard covers though

If you overwrite this Android installation over the Windows, then IT WILL DELETE WINDOWS.
But, if you create separate partitions for Windows and Android, then you can dual-boot.
I suggest that you run Android in a virtual machine rather than installing this way

BTW, I have Vaio S (SVS 2012) and I can get WiFi working of I boot from legacy mode BIOS from an external HD w/ the original kernel, while it doesn't work of I boot it from UEFI w/ the custom kernel (since it can't boot w/out it) and doesn't work w/ either 4.3.X or 4.2.X. Can someone help me? (using Intel Centrino Advanced N 6235)

14. If you're using Android x86 4.0.3 and older, you'll be prompted to install virtual SDCard, input 1800 MB / 1.8 GB
Could we set more for more space to install apps?

Same thing happened to me with Virtualbox. However, I shutdown the VM, unmounted the iso, and rebooted. After that, it worked. I used the 4.4 version.

Installing Windows After Android-x86
There are two different approaches:
Recovering GRUB after re-installing Windows
Please refer to the Reinstalling GRUB2 guide.
Master Boot Record backup and re-replacement
This method does not work for computers with UEFI boot. In consequence, it won't work for pre-installed Windows8 and some pre-installed Windows7.
Back-up the existing MBR, install Windows, replace your backup overwriting the Windows boot code:
Create an NTFS partition for Windows (using fdisk, GParted or whatever tool you are familiar with)
Backup the MBR e.g. dd if=/dev/sda of=/mbr.bin bs=446 count=1
Install Windows
Boot into a LiveCD
Mount your root partition in the LiveCD
Restore the MBR e.g. dd if=/media/sda/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda bs=446 count=1
Restart and Ubuntu will boot
Setup GRUB to boot Windows
