How to port libs to Android x86

Hi! Take a look at this situation: I have an Android x86 tablet (model Multilaser M7i Nb190) Intel, Android 4.4, but the internal emmc memory i'snt working anymore, but the rest of the device still 'works', Generic Android x86 boot up, even Ubuntu n' ZorinOS Lite, but I can go after setup screen because there's no touchscreen support for my device, I have the original rom, but the structure of the device rom and of the Android x86.iso seems to be different. How to port the device drivers (libs) to the Android x86 generic.iso rom? I have version of Android x86 4.4, its better to use it because it is the same version of the device rom (in general)? Thanks for any help. ... And why xda app still giving network error after trying to upload an image?!

Bliss OS Install on Dell Venue 8 (7840)

I've downloaded the ISO for Bliss OS 11.13 (64bit for Intel Atom processor), created a Live USB using Rufus on Win10 and am trying to figure out how to install it to the my Dell Venue 8 7840 (running Android 5.1, unlocked and rooted). But the installer doesn't recognize there's an android tablet connected via usb.
I've ensured that the my Dell Venue 8 7840 (unlocked, rooted running Android 5.1) has both the MTP Dell drivers as well as the ADB drivers in Windows 10 and I can launch a terminal and run typical ADB/Fastboot commands and the device responds.
I've tried using all of the available "Allwinner" usb tools (PhoenixSuit, Phoenix USB Pro and LiveSuit) but none of these will accept the iso file I've downloaded directly from the Bliss OS site. Am I doing something wrong? My tablet isn't supported by CWM/TWRP or any of the major custom ROMS (LineageOS etc) so I can't update passed the current Android 5.1 as Dell no longer manufactures Android tablets.
Please tell me if anyone has been able to successfully install Bliss OS on an Intel Atom based Android tablet
Thanks
any update on this?

Is there some kind of pc emulator that i could restore an entire phone on to it?

I have a full backup of my phone,plus samsung and google backups.
i want to restore it onto something on a pc .(it should look just like a phone with all the apps+data,files etc)
Is there anything like this?
Thank you
Android emulators for PC are x86 / x86_64 based, Android phones are ARM32 / ARM64 based. So you need on PC an emulator that has libhoudini in-built - what is the ARM to INTEL translation tool - developed by Intel.

Can NOT install blissos

HW: x86 PC (intel integrated graphic card + NVIDIA graphics card)
SW: Blissos 14.3 (since nvidia card is poorly supported on x86 android, in android-x86_64_defconfig, comment out all NOUVEAU related configs)
Prerequisite: In BIOS, video setup -> IGD (expect to use intel graphic card)
Steps:
1) Install Ubuntu 20.04
2) Use rufus to write .iso image into U disk
3) Insert U disk into x86 PC, reboot x86 PC
4) From boot options, if choose 1st option to start Blissos directly // it's OK to start
5) From boot options, if choose installation of blissos // Why?? display screen is black, can't see any log output, after a while, blocked here, have to ctl+alt+del to reboot system
6) Power off x86 PC, unplug the NVIDIA graphics card
7) Start X86 PC again, it's OK to install Blissos!
8) Power off x86 PC again, plug the NVIDIA graphics card
9) Start X86 PC again, it's still OK to install Blissos!! // Why??
QA:
In step 5, since display screen is black, can't see any log output, it's difficult to know what is happened, could you please check it and give some comments?
After step 6 ~ step 9, if NOT change BIOS to default setting, it's OK to install Blissos for further installations,
for my special enviroment, NVIDIA graphics card of most x86 PCs can't be unplugged, how can I handle this case?
Dear experts, @electrikjesus and @HMTheBoy154 , could you have a look at this issue? thanks a lot
