Android-x86


Last Update: 2024-02-02 02:44 UTC

Android-x86 is an unofficial initiative to port Google's Android mobile operating system to run on devices powered by Intel and AMD x86 processors, rather than RISC-based ARM chips. The project began as a series of patches to the Android source code to enable Android to run on various netbooks and ultra-mobile PCs, particularly the ASUS Eee PC.

Average visitor rating: 4.5/10 from 4 review(s).

 A buggy and way behind & stale Android port to x86 PC’s. I’m not sure if the developers are taking it seriously because of all of the bugs and crashes I’ve encountered just trying to browse the web and load up some games to try out.

 I couldn't get this to run either as a Virtual Machine or on a physical PC.

No diagnostic of the problem was offered. I can only assume this is a dead project.
