  3. I tried to run x-86 44r2 but it is not able to get to internet as I am behind a non transparent proxy. I tried several patches but none worked.
    Is your 444 paid pack able to use internet behind a non transparent proxy? If I pay for it, and does not work, might I get my money back?
    Ths.

    • No, no “evaluation possibilities”. Too complicated (for me). And I don’t know if you can use Internet behind a non transparent proxy using my Android-x86 versions.

  4. Hi, does your version manage to operate Aspire One D250 wireless card?
    Haven’t found an Android x86 version that works this yet. LAN works fine, but wireless – never.
    If it works, I’ll be glad to buy your distribution. TNX.

  6. Hi, thanks for the ISO’s. Your 5.X ISO worked on my Dell E6420 laptop. I live booted it and tested WiFi and Bluetooth successfully. So then I bought the $8 4.4.4 build 2 and while it boots and WiFi turns on, the Bluetooth does not turn on. 🙁

  8. Hi, I can boot from cd, can install to usb stick, runs well first time, but I cannot boot directly after to usb.

    I asked for grub installed, and my usb stick is bootable, I can boot with other systems from it, including other Android x86 releases and with grub.

    Any idea for yours?

    • Hi,

      I have no experience re. installing the system to a USB stick (with Grub and presistence). Only a “normal” USB installation with LiLi. Sorry. Please let me know if you find a solution.

  9. There is a solution but through easybcd, so one needs windows on the machine, and not uefi.
    but I can do it with grub on other android x86 as I told you, I will try find a solution.

  10. I did some troubleshooting, and LOL! it does not actually install it, it leaves the usb stick empty, even if it gives the impression it is installing to /dev/sdb1.

    No wonder it could not boot to usb.
    This installer does not work for usb sticks.

    Reply

  11. Ok, I understand. I never thought it was possible. I’m curious though. Which Android-x86 system was possible to install the way you want?

    Reply

  12. OK, it was a stupid mistake, it is possible with yours too.

    The mistake was to ask to format, it does not do it, it messes up the stick.

    So format to ext2 or ext3 from Linux (not sure about ext4), then install without format to usb (/dev/sdb1 in my case), with grub, boot from usb, and it works 🙂

  14. Hi Nabil,

    As you said it works! I will write an article about it. Very good for people who hesitate to install Android-x86 to hard drive. You don’t even have to have a Linux system installed to make this.

    • I’m sorry to hear that, but how did you install/transfer the system to the USB stick? If you don’t even see the boot screen I suspect that the USB stick hasn’t been made bootable. Or can you run it on another computer?

      • “No matter what I pick on ‘Install/Debug Mode/Live’, I get a black screen and no evidence of USB activity.”

        It is booting from USB, and I am getting to the menu of Install/Debug Mode/Live, as I said.

  18. I burned it to a DVD to take that out of the equation:
    5.0.2 — no wifi or sound
    4.4.4 — no sound

    I suspect maybe analog sound would work, but I don’t have any analog equipment to test with. Is there something config file I can tweak to make HDMI sound work?

  24. As I say on the info page AndEX (Lollipop) won’t run on e v e r y computer. Can you run any other Android-x86 on your computer?

    Your Aspire 1 d260 should work though. Have you tried the USB stick on another computer? It could be that your USB install was unsuccessful. (Stick not bootable).

    Please check your mail.

    • I think so, but I can’t say for sure (since I have no computer with this card). My advice is that you shall try one of the free downloads of KitKat or Lollipop before you buy one of my versions.

  32. You are doing it wrong. Please do EXACTLY as I say here: http://andex.exton.net/?page_id=13

    As you can see on my LiLi picture LiLi will recognize the AndEX (Android-x86) Lollipop system as Debian Live 7.6.0 (Gnome). If not force LiLi to use Debian Live. Don’t let this fact bother you. The created AndEX USB stick will work perfect! Just restart your computer and have fun!

    …and you must of course choose the ISO file android-x86-5.0.2-lollipop-GAPPS-exton-782mb-150505.iso or the ISO file android-x86-4.4.4-kitkat-kernel4-exton-GAPPS-500mb-150504.iso to install on your USB stick. (Under “Choose a source”).

    • You just have to be a bit patient. As soon as you have your wireless connection ready you will be able to upgrade Google Play Services. Just as I say on the INFO site. I.e. just close the “error windows” and give your wireless connection credentials.

  41. Finally you can. As I say just close all “error windows” so you’ll get the chance to connect. If you have installed the system to hard drive or to a USB stick with persistence those errors are a one time experience.

    • Ok, that’s a way to do it. Thanks!

      In my latest Lollipop and KitKat version it shouldn’t be necessary though. When the wireless connection is ready Google Play Services will be updated automatically.

        • What do you mean? Can’t you connect wireless or/and can’t you install new apps with Google Play Store?
          Normally the latest version of Google Play Services will be installed when/before you install your first new app.

          • It’s difficult to understand since everybody else (including me) can update Google Play Services and thus avoid crashes.

          • to update google play services , you connect to using your Google username?

            I still have the bug play service suddenly I can not login with my username so I can not proceed to update !!!

    • Yes, of course you have to log in to your Google account with your Gmail address before you can do anything. If you haven’t done that it explains your errors/problems.

      “Update iso”: When you have installed Android-x86 to your hard drive or to a USB stick with persistence (have you done that?) you can update/upgrade all apps. You can of course also install new apps.

  46. Yes, that can be normal the FIRST time you start up the system from your hard drive. You just have to be a bit patient and close all error windows. Finally you will be able to BOTH activate your wifi and log in to your Google account. After that you can upgrade all apps. And you MUST upgrade Google Play Services.

    Then after a reboot you will get (almost) no error messages.

    • Please read what I write about my latest KitKat version here: http://andex.exton.net/?p=188

      Linux Mint and Android-x86 are totally different. Most probably my KitKat version will work very well on your laptop, but I can’t guarantee that it will. If you want to be more confident (before you buy my KitKat version) I suggest that you try one of the free KitKat versions out there.

      You can’t “copy drivers” from Linux Mint to Android-x86.

  50. Actually google play store is good that there is option user to test before purchase and they disable some feature before purchase the full version, it will reduce alot of user to ask about working or not to the their notebook. your build android is to support google open source also right and maybe to put also into google store later on.. 🙂

  53. Hello Mr Exton,

    I’m tempted to purchase the 502 lollipop version, I think $9 USD is a very fair price for the work you’ve put into it, but I have a couple of concerns:

    Compatibility – I have a recent-model laptop, not old, but not new, and I’d like to suggest a try-before-you-buy version to test hardware compatibility before purchasing the full version. I admit I have no idea what this would look like – perhaps with Gapps stripped out?

    Updates – your custom kernel specifically. I have no issue with repurchasing for a version change, say 502 to 5.1, but if you make bug fixes in your kernel, how would those come in?

    Thanks,

    Tim Moulder

    Reply

    • Hi Tim,

      Well, I understand, but I can’t have any “try-out” versions. It will be too complicated (for me).

      If you feel uncertain I suggest that you try one of the free downloads of Lollipop/KitKat you can find on the Internet.

      I won’t make any “bug-fixes” in the kernel. Linus Torvalds take care of that. I will just change to a new one when possible.

  55. Hi Mr Exton,

    So I took the plunge and got the 20150520 Lollipop build. Here’s what I have learned so far:

    1. The dual boot setup described on the lollipop page needs to be updated, the folder for kernel, initrd and such is pointing to the wrong date. I caught it at install, but someone else might not.

    2. Installed on an EXT3 partition, dual-booting with Linux Mint 17. After install and a couple of reboots, still could not update Google Play Services, getting the infamous “972” error.

    Apparently, this is a baseline problem in Android-x86, and the suggested fix is installing to an EXT4 partition. Many reports say this fixed it.

    3. So, I reformatted to EXT4 and reinstalled. This did not go over well. I was able to boot, but got a constant series of maps / play store /play services errors. A reboot after setting up got some updates, but the errors reappeared again after a few minutes.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks,

    TM

    • Hi,

      1. Yes, you are right. I forgot. I have corrected it now.

      2. Yes, I’ve also heard that ext4 is a better choice.

      3. As I say on the info site you will get ONE message saying that Google Maps has to be updated. Sounds like you also have to update Google Play Services. Try to open Google+. You should then get a message saying that you have to update Google Play Services. Do it. After that everything should be ok. Do a couple of restarts. After every restart the system checks if any app needs to be updated. You can see small signs of that in the upper left corner.

      Thanks for letting me know how it went.

      EDIT a little later
      You got me a bit worried so I did a fresh install of AndEX. Basically it is as I write above.

  58. Hi again Mr Exton,

    I’ve tried a couple times on EXT3 and EXT4, and was not successful at getting the system operational. The 972 error on EXT3 is persistent, and EXT4 reproduces the same issues previously described, regardless of how many times I reboot. I suppose this is not suitable to my particular laptop.

    One piece you might find useful, however – in EXT3, installing to a 128 gig partition, after installation showed 117 gig internal storage. On EXT4, it showed 1.7 gig of internal storage, and 118 gig of external storage. Not sure why the formatting should affect this.

    Thanks,

  59. Hi – I bought this a few weeks ago (Lollipop Build) and I appreciate your hard work — can you answer these two questions though?

    1) Is Lollipop extremely dependent on a fast CPU….and/or a fast GPU in order to operate at a decent pace? I tried the live version on several older i7s and an i5…and despite them having 6-8GB of RAM and 2-4 cores, Lollipop was unusable due to slow response/screen redraw. When I put it on a somewhat newer i5 with 8GB of RAM (and nothing fancy GPU-wise) it ran at native speed.

    2) Also, why include all that Cyanogen stuff? Why can’t it be a pure Lollipop build with nothing extra?

    Thanks!

    Reply

    • 1) Yes, as I said on the info sites AndEX (Lollipop) can’t run on older computers. The KitKat version is better in that respect.

      2) I guess I could. I myself think that those extra apps are useful though.

      Reply

      • Could you clarify a bit more what you mean by “modern”? The reason I’m asking is that I’d like to build a desktop machine that just has Android Lollipop on it. What I’m trying to figure out is the CPU type the bottleneck or the GPU? Or both? Will a latest generation i5 w/ 8GB RAM and a Linux-friendly nVidia card be what I need (similar to what I tested previously on a laptop and it worked great) -or- can I go a cheaper route an get a latest generation i3, have 8GB and rely on Intel onchip GPU?

        I know it’s a hard question to answer specifically, but I’m almost wondering if the CPU generation is the true bottleneck, because I tested on an i7 laptop from 2010 w/ 8GB and it was terrible…and I tested on a latest gen i5 w/ 8GB laptop and it was great. Neither had a siginificant non-cpu videocard to rely on.

        Thoughts?

    I am running Vmware ESXi with a PCI (not pcie) Geforce FX5200 & a usb card passed thru to the VM.

    When connected to the monitor I want (with the touch screen) I get garbled graphics about 1″ wide across the middle of the screen.

    I tried a big monitor and it displays fine. If I switch after boot the touch monitor also works, I am missing some around the edges though.

    wm size =1920×1080 physical
    wm density=240

    The wm values are the same whichever monitor

    If I set vesa, I only get the vmware svga working, not the passed thru video.

  81. So firstly- Awesome work !
    I will love running this distro if i can manage it. I currently have purchased your latest Lollipop ISO and have it burned to a usb flash drive. The boot menu loads and offers up several options to choose from. Sadly the live loads do not complete. The primary selection drops out to command line (root/#) and none of the usual start X commands seem to run the android ui.Versa seems broken graphically as well as debug. I am able to run through the install directly menus but have not been able to get past command line.
    For reference I have run many different distros on this MBA3.1 (2010 Macbook Air 11 inch) any ideas on what might start this up?

      * Booting with parameter “nomodeset”
      * Booting with parameter “xforcevesa”
      * Booting with parameter “nomodeset xforcevesa”

    It boots nicely on a 2010 Macbook Air 11″. Of course as mentioned in the how too Broadcom wifi is a none starter. But everything else is good. Keyboard is picked up, Bluetooth is recognized, sound too. webcam starts but wont fully run.
    Thanks again for the 5.1.1 iso update. I run Debian full time on this device so will keep working on the broadcom issue. Might be able to make it run yet.
    Keep up the great work.

  89. i found this on this site: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/MH5UMb-kHZQ

    its pretty old now but maybe it still applies
    also my my sound driver is intel sst if it helps

    Please update the libaudio from git:

    repo sync hardware/libaudio

    which contains the audio hal fix for baytrail.

    If it still doesn’t work, you may need to create your own
    alsa state from a normal linux distros (ubuntu…)
    and then copy it to android-x86.

    What’s the result of this?

    cat /proc/asound/card?/id

  90. Ok, but it seems to be rather complicated (…”you may need to create your own alsa state from a normal linux distros (ubuntu…)
    and then copy it to android-x86″).

    I think “repo sync hardware/libaudio” must have been done by now.

  91. A comment and a question please:
    1. I don’t know if you’ve been trying to get the 64-bit builds to work. I’ve been trying to get 64-bits running on virtualbox.and failing for weeks, but I finally found the problem earlier today. There are three files which need to change names to get 64-bit to work:
    fstab.android_x86
    init.android_86.rc and
    ueventd.android_x86.rc

    I just changed the names of these three files by replacing x86 with x86_64 — and that was enough for all the 64-bit images to work!!

    Unfrtunately however, there’s a problem — perhaps you understand what’s really going on: my android-51.1 is sort of sluggish on virtualbox. after a lot of digging around, I think I understood that virtualbox does NOT virtualize the GPU — which in my case is an NVIDIA gtx 970. INstead, it has it’s own software graphics. IF this is true, i guess that explains why it seems to not be very snappy.

    WOuld you know if this is true? is there some way to ‘pass through’ the gpu, or get better graphics performance out of a vrtualbox pc?

    Is VMWare any better? does it viirtualize the GPU as well as the CPU? If so, that would be a big reason to prefer vmware over virtualbox. I can’t use windows Hyper-V, because **those** virtual machines don’t have USB support!! And like you, I want to run Skype on the android-x86, so I need USB to attach the camera. A workaround would be some driver for android that would let an incoming IP video stream seem to android-x86 to be a front or back camera. There is a very common windows program called “manycam” which does this, but it doesn’t seem to exist for android IF you know of anything that does that, please let me know.

    i agree with you, though, that getting an android tablet to run in a window on my pc desktop is pretty awesome.

    • This is what I have written on the INFO page about your problems:

      About error 963 and Google Play Store
      If you have installed AndEX on an ext3 partition you may get the dreaded error message 963 when trying to install new apps via Google Play Store. According to many forum posts and my own experience the only real good fix is to install Andex/Lollipop to an ext4 partition. There we have another problem since Grub2 can’t be installed to an ext4 partition when installing AndEX/Lollipop. That problem can only be solved if you have Grub2 installed in another Linux system on your computer. (Then you can use an ext4 partition for the installation and afterwards edit your Grub2 installation in your other Linux system). This problem with ext3/ext4 (error 963) is only applicable for AndEX/Lollipop. I.e. Google Play Store will work as expected in my KitKat version of Android-x86 even if the Android system is installed on an ext3 partition. Note: This error will probably not show up in AndEX Build 151010.

      Other problems with Google Play Store
      Under certain circumstances Google Play Store can crash. What you can do then is to install the latest version of Google Play Store using Aptoide App Manager. Before that you should go to Settings and remove all traces of Google Play Store from “data” and “system”. After that reboot your computer before you go on and install the new downloaded version of Google Play Store. Note: You can’t upgrade Google Play Store using Google Play Store. Here Aptoide come in handy.

    • jhozeff,

      I would advise you to install one ordinary Linux system first with Grub2. If you for example install Ubuntu you will get dual boot with Windows 10 automatically. You can later on create a special install partition for Android-x86. Then just add Grub boot lines for Android-x86 in Ubuntu (/boot/grub/grub.cfg). See my example below.

      menuentry ‘Android-x86_64 7.1.1 Nougat 170201 (sda8)’ {
      insmod gzio
      insmod part_msdos
      insmod ext2
      set root=’hd0,msdos8′
      linux /android-2017-01-30/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64 \
      acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode androidboot.selinux=permissive SRC=/android-2017-01-30 DPI=140 \
      UVESA_MODE=1920×1080
      initrd /android-2017-01-30/initrd.img

    • Are you using these boot lines?

    • This is what I wrote on the INFO site.

      Running AndEX Nougat in VirtualBox and/or VMware
      You cannot run AndEX Nougat 7.1.2 Build 170930 (from the ISO file) live in VirtualBox and VMware. But you can (of course) install AndEX 7.1.2 to a virtual hard drive in VirtualBox and VMware. AndEX Build 170930 will then run very well both in VirtualBox and VMware. I have kept one of my previous builds AndEX Nougat 7.0 161107 since you can run Build 161107 live in VirtualBox and VMware very well. AndEX 7.1.2 Build 170619 and AndEX 7.0 Build 161107 work very well in VMware (and VirtualBox) as I just said. Watch a slideshow, which shows all installation steps in VMware.
