One of the best ideas for a revival of the old netbook is
the removal of the old Windows XP or any of odchudzanych
GNU / Linux – and install Android on it. Through
Android-x86 project we have variety of mobile OS,
without major problems which can be installed on computers
Intel or AMD. Its developers presented at the New
Second edition KitKat year-x86 (ie Android 4.4). We checked
Is it worth it closer interest.
The most important change is the use of the last stable
Linux kernel
3.18, with a large number of additional patches that have
ensure the smoothest operation and maintenance of the new system
equipment. Thanks to the Android-x86 4.4 R2 runs correctly on
komputerkach with Intel Atom Bay Trail, copes well with
by UEFI startup.
Android-x86, of course, with full access to the root
The use of a new kernel also allowed noticeably improve
Sleep and wake up the process of running the Android
the computer. ThinkPad W510 on the test with Core i5 and
Disk 500 GB 7200 RPM system to boot it took approx. 7 seconds
while sleeping, and waking took place almost immediately
and bezproblematycznie. The situation was similar to a computer
Athlon 5350 – here before sleeping, and waking dead
R2 began work correctly.
blurring the difference between mobile broadband and a desktop
A major plus is also good the Bluetooth service,
ThinkPad previously not working. It was recognized
devices such as wireless speakers, smartphone and die
games, live sound, files, and randomness work properly
- Despite the fact that the developers themselves still warn against possible
malfunctions. Are also supported flawlessly webcam and keyboard
wireless multi-touch trackpad with. Graphics acceleration is
clearly faster compared to that uses the kernel 3.10
version
KitKat R1 x86.
During the tests, we stumbled upon a strange issue: no
was able to log into your Google Play store (included by
the default installer). Every time Google services stated,
that “detected suspicious activity on your account” and demanded
a telephone number, which could send a text message
single code. Fortunately, the world does not end with Google
Play, other shops operate without problem.
You do not want to have anything to do with Google? Software outside of the store there is no shortage Play
With the compatibility of the application is different. Software
compiled for ARMv7 architecture, which is Android
after all, most, sometimes works and sometimes it does not – used
libhoudini code to translate this whimsical creature. Failed to
eg. start the mobile Firefox. On the other hand, works
most games, even those that use OpenGL graphics.
Sometimes you can see them, unfortunately, artifacts and defects
color, but the stability can not find fault.
I still get a graphical glitches in games
The possibilities of this issue, you can try out for yourself. ISO Images
EFI is available on the website
home project. Android can try the LiveCD mode,
and install it directly onto the disc. Note, though offered
the installer support for the EXT3 file system, if we want to
to use it, we need to format the partition manually. Fitter
EXT2 automatically handle only.
Certainly, such a system is not suitable for serious work, but
you have to remember that the devices on which Android 4.4 R2 x86
was conceived, that is, netbooks and tablets x86, or specifically not
to serve. A rich library available on Android
software, and a long list of supported
equipment make this project we can recommend to anyone
concerned both older computer animation
(Minimum requirement is a 1 GHz processor and 512 MB of RAM) and
extension of the newer machines and entertainment opportunities.
