Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich Ported for x86 Systems
The Android-x86 Project has posted the first Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich, ICS) release for x86 computing devices.
An ISO image of Android 4 is available for AMD's Brazos platform for devices such as the MSI Wind 110W. Generic x86 images are offered as unstable nightly builds.
The project team uses the open source code provided by Google to create x86 ports of the operating system. Besides this latest release, the developers have posted downloads of previous Android versions for Asus EeePCs, Viewsonic's Viewpad 10, Dell's Inspiron Mini Duo, Samsung's Q1U and Lenovo's Thinkpad x61.
Developer Chih-Wei Huang noted that the release still requires quite a bit of work, as sound, camera support, Ethernet and hardware acceleration do not run on Intel's processors.
No, you'll die.
Dead Jim.
On a separate note, I think it would be fun to play with Android in a VM. I just want a way to use a mouse more easily with it.
Just eat a good meal before using. Make sure you have Life Alert on, just in case. Small bites, small bites.
Incase you missed the memo, Linux sucks for anything outside of a server room.
Small bytes? Sorry.
Also as of android 3.0 bluetooth/ usb keyboard mouse and storage are all supported via the current standard protocols. Hell, since normal linux drivers work even usb-ethernet adapters are supported.
Can you run Android apps under Linux? Software availability is always the key.
Ok this is the third post of this guy that i've seen, and they're all the same. Assuming spam and reporting.
Do I WANT to run Android apps? Come on seriously, these apps are designed for tablets/phones (at best). Why the heck would I want to run them on a full computer/laptop; what's their value?
why not. experiment and learn. why go buy a $400 device when you can port it's OS?
yep 20+ years and counting and it still does
