Has anyone ever been able to run the intel's image they use for the Android emulator on Vmware or Virtualbox? The x86 acceleration makes the emulator a lot faster, but for sophisticated networking the emulator pales in comparison to vmware or vbox.
I tried downloading the image and making an iso out of it, but it wouldn't boot. I'm wondering if there might be some specific settings in the Android Emulator provided by Google to allow it to boot and then run the system image.
And yes, I've heard of android-x86 project. Their android 4.2.2 iso is extremely buggy. The 4.0 one is nice but I need 4.2.2
Any help would be extremely helpful!
Hey guys
I have been looking into getting an android tv box and was wondering what do you suggest thats at least 2gb ram , gigabit Ethernet
1. Can the devices be rooted and can we install custom roms such as Cyanogenmod?
2. easily customization and tweakable?
I would either recommend getting the openelec box (the Wetec) It comes running openelec which is basically a Kodi OS. The other 2 good options are the Nvidia shield or build yourself a small htpc. Maybe use a nuc or raspberry pi type of board. http://webshop.openelec.tv/
I am looking for feedback on weather an android tv box or Rasberry Pi would better suit my needs. I will be using it mainly as an htpc. I'll be running transmission bittorent client constantly but generally more seeding then leeching. I will also be running kodi on the box as well as doing some retro gaming with emulators.
I already have a Transpeed X3 Air android tv box and it gets the job done OK for torrents and kodi but often seems to lag when gaming. The specs are an amlogic X3 with 4 gb ram and 128gb storage built in. Best I can tell the rasberry pi 4 performs generally on part with the X3 so I'm wondering if a pi 4 would trully be benifical? I believe I'd rather run Linux(Manjaro KDE on arm preferably) then android in this particular case and still meet all my needs and possibly increase performance through simplicity?
Thoughts?
hey there!
i have a computer stick (intel atom Z3735F processor, 2gb ram, 32gb storage, wifi, bluetooth, and all the basic computer ports) so it runs windows 8.1 without any lag, and i actually dont want to use windows in it, and want an android operating system somewhat like the google tv os, or the amazon fire tv stick os,, basically just want to run a few apps like youtube, prime vid, hotstar , nf.. i preferably want the amazon fire tv stick os in it any way i can run firetv os into it or any alternative operating systems ?

If you do a Google search for:
"Intel atom z3735f android ROM"
Or
"Intel atom z3735f (Linux or Ubuntu whichever you choose)"
That should give you some results that you can read through to see what your options might be.
Note:
Any android you use must be specifically for Z3735F or a generic x86 ROM.
Hi,
I'm looking for lightweight and intuitive OS for my old Win tablet, so kids still can use it for YT, Spotify and simple games.
I spent some time on testing different android-based systems (Bliss, Prime, Android x86, Phoenix) but unfortunately they do not work completely well - issues with touchscreen, WiFi, BT, sound. Android x86 was best only with sound issues (connectivity was OK).
Please advise which android or linux based system (version/build) with gapps support can work out of the box with this tablet: Lenovo ThinkPad 10 (2nd gen) - 20E30037PB.
If none then which one will be the easiest to configure with those mobile components?
CPU: Intel Atom z3795 (4 cores, 1.59 GHz - 2.39GHz)
GPU: Intel HD 405 (I think)
RAM: 4GB
WLAN: ac/a/b/g/n
Touch screen: 1920x1200 LED IPS
Ports: USB 3.0, HDMI, SSD
Others: fingerprint sensor and front/back camera (I don't care about those - can be not working)
If tablet runs Windows 10 and/or Windows 11 you can benefit from Microsoft's
Windows-Subsystem für AndroidSo, upgrade Windows OS, if possible.
Generally yes, but not for requirements I've got from kids: android games + YT for kids, Spotify for kids (those aps are only available for Android) + it's much faster on linux. Also I think W11 will consume more resources out of the box and I have to tweak it a lot to adjust UI and disable all services what are not needed for those basic tasks. I've tried android emulator on W10, but it's too slow.

I think you should look into ChromeOS Flex, since it is based on Linux and can run android apps just fine
OK, I've tested tablet with W11 and actually is much faster than on tweaked W10! Also I was able to install WSFA from terminal but could not start it, since I have only 4GB RAM (8GB is min).
Not sure if still have energy to try ChromeOS - tried different Linux based OS and there was a problem with drivers. I really like W11 on tablet, so maybe will keep it this way and try again Bluestacks on tweaked 11.

ChromeOS Flex is really not that hard, look into it. It's built for weak laptops and with touchscreen in mind, and with support of android apps
