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

Don't waste your time with this.
These are Bluestacks 5 system requitrements ( excerpt )
OS: Windows 11 Pro 22H2
Processor: Intel or AMD Multi-Core Processor with Single Thread benchmark score > 1000
Graphics: Intel/Nvidia/ATI, Onboard or Discrete GPU with benchmark score >= 750
To find the benchmark score of your processor (CPU) and graphics card (GPU), read this article.
Virtualization must be enabled on your PC/Laptop: https://support.bluestacks.com/hc/de/articles/4409279876621
RAM: 8GB or higher
Storage: SSD (or Fusion/Hybrid Drives)
Internet: Broadband connection to access games, accounts and related content.

Touch interface in a videogame plataform?
It's a bit strange, but would be a good multimedia platform.
OMG ... oleee!
I like Ports ... I am only waiting for my phone and I will play emulators ...

Yes a very good multimedia platform
And very cheap i buy 1 from ebay for 20 $ +8 Games+1 Ctrl+DvD Remote.
Touch dont needed i think x86 can boot android too without touch.
When i get later my new HDD i test some Android live cd on the xbox
Nothing new?
Currently the most powerful console emulated on android is N64. And it isn't full speed or perfect by any means.
Also most android emulators are based on pc emulators.
AFAIK xbox emulation never got very far on pc. Meaning there are no sources to base the emulator on.
That said good luck, I'm sure the world would love you if you could pull it off.
He is inquiring about running Android on the 1st gen Xbox, not emulating Xbox games on his Android device.
Not enough ram to run it. everything else is fine just it needs more ram.
Hi, I would like to have small ARM servers with Linux. I want Ethernet (RJ-45).
I do not need 3D acceleration. I must have working SD card reader, USB and Ethernet. WiFi support will be great bonus.
I found cheap (only $46) device Android 4.2 HD 3D TV Smart Box A20 on eBay. It has dual-core A20 @1.5GHz CPU, 1GB DDR3 RAM and 4GB internal flash. Hardware looks great for me.

But I can't find any information about this Android player.
I found these romanrm.net/a10/debian instructions. On this web is universal Debian image for A20, but I must use device specific bootloader dl.linux-sunxi.org/users/amery/sunxi-3.0/latest/
Where is possible to get bootloader?
I do not want Android, I need to have Linux (Debian, Ububtu, Fedora,...). I preffer Debian and Ubuntu.
Or you can recommend to me any other Linux-supported Android player with Ethernet with price about $50 (cheaper is better)?
In every android emulator I use, for some reason when I use Direct X, I always have distorted graphics. My opengl is only 2.0 so I 'm usually forced to use Direct X mode. Here is an album of some examples: imgur(dot)com/a/bX1c2
Here's my dxdiag: goo(dot)gl/Y1phQY
Yes, I know that I use custom graphics drivers, but the graphic distortions still happen whether I use the original one or not.

I can't explain you the exact technical reason but your graphic processor (released 2008) simply doesn't meet the requirements of actual emulators. I use Genymotion myself and the undemandig requirements are:
Intel HD Graphics 4000 (2012), Nvidia GeForce 500 Series (2011), ATI Radeon HD 6000 Series (2011);
I know that other emulators even need a more powerfull gpu to work correctly.
Emulators generally have a a poor performance comapred to native operating systems.
You could try using Androidx86 as native installation instead of emulator.
LDPlayer is a free Android emulator for PC designed specifically for mobile gamers. By making use of the Virtualization technology, the developer team has released two Android kernels, which are Android Lollipop 5.1 and Android Nougat 7.1. Thus, you will find LDPlayer 3 which is running Android 5.1, and LDPlayer 4 which is running Android 7.1 on their official website.
LDPlayer has developed many gamer-oriented features, like keyboard mapping controls, native screen recording, operation recorder (record script), multi-instance, etc. The multi-instance feature, which would be a great helper for those who want to play different games on one PC simultaneously, can allow you to create several virtual windows without using too much computer resources.
Moreover, LDPlayer is one of the lightest Android emulators that offer fast processing speed both on high-end and low-end PCs. It has been optimized for some high-demanding games too, such as Black Desert Mobile, Free Fire, World of Dragon Nest (WoD), etc. Though LDPlayer is not as famous as other emulators, it’s anticipated that more emulator users can find this new beast for gaming.

With regards to the mentioned multi-instance feature and your statement that this doesn't use too much computer resources I've to say: YOU ARE WRONG. Player instances share computer resources, don't hook them. Both the CPU-cores and the RAM-amount you assign to be used by a player instance are taken off of given CPU-cores and RAM-amount.
Think about, if your time allows ...
Typically a player instance must have 2 CPU-cores and at least 2 GB RAM assigned in order to more or less flawlessly run a modern game, e.g. PUBG Mobile Lite, etc.pp.
This in mind and knowing Windows 10 according to Microsoft exclusively at minimum needs 2 GB RAM and 1 CPU core to run, for example on a Windows 10 machine with a quad-core CPU and 8 GB RAM you can only successfully run ONE player instance at same time.
Peoples using emulators like LDPlayer always should do the math!

Thay have an instance manager that can control how much cpu/ram you assign to each instance!
