    Got this going on my HP all in one - works awesome, had some trouble on the live CD read without installation with the system UI stopping repeatedly. Took a gamble and installed it and its perfect. Also used an old hard drive as the boot disk (which was probably why the Live CD wasn't working 100%). 100% recommended way of doing this and its now part of my google home setup. Thanks

    Hello,
    I preface my comment with some history. I have 25 years in I.T. (1995, M.C.S.E, age 38). I am versed in multi-discioplines...from diagnostic troubleshooting and repair of hardware and software...to diaster and data recovery. Those are my credentials. With that said!
    I can say emphactically and without hestiation state...that when it comes to computer instructions. Your instruction was absolutely flawless, focued, succinct and concise.
    I truly appreciate that you didn't go off on a peripheral tangant or include any extraneous non-important info.
    Best instruction video I have seen in many years, and I have been on RUclips since shortly after (March 2005) RUclips going "live online" in February of 2005.
    Thank You. I'll be looking forward to checking with your channel first on topics I'm unfamiliar with.

    If anyone is having an issue trying to install to your target hard drive, you should probably edit your partition first. For your primary partition, create a 100 MB for GRUB to automatically install to and make sure the boot flag is set for it. For the rest of your hard drive, just create a logical partition. I fought with this for hours because I had the luxury of not being able to boot from a USB drive and no burnable discs. =)

    Great instructions. Followed them to the letter to setup Android x86 to a similar HP desktop PC. Did the Live CD install first, incurred no errors so proceeded to install directly to the hard disk. Everything went smoothly. One issue though. This PC is connected via an Ethernet Cable. Under NETWORK & INTERNET, upon adding my internet provider's SSID and password, Androic-x86 created a "WIFI" network icon called "VirtWiFi". Every time I reboot my "Android PC", this "VirtWiFi" is what it connects to. The issue is that the connection gets dropped after about 30 mins, and the only way to get re-connected is to "REBOOT". When it drops the connection, going to Settings > Network & Internet is fruitless because "VirtWiFi" is not visible and clicking on the search for a Network button yields absolutely nothing, the clock just spins. At the 8:50 mark of your video you stated your Ethernet was fast, so it must work. Any ideas what my issue is? Any help would be greatly appreciated .were

      Ordinary GP It is true though. Most Desktop CPUs run at 2.4+ GHz. That is based on desktops from like 2005. A phone isn't running at that clockspeed consistently without throttling. Don't even getting started with RAM...

      Ordinary GP A core to quad can run up to 2.80 GHz stock. Not all andriod phones have the latest Qualcomm chip. When you run something designed to run on a phone using native Linux, it's obviously going to be snappier than most phones.

    • @RodknockRhett
      @RodknockRhett 4 года назад +1

      Ordinary GP That's not even the point of doing this. The point of doing this is expirementing while putting an old PC to work. A lot of andriod tablets actaully do use x86 chips. If there wasn't, than Andriod would be just like iOS: Being impossible to port to PC hardware without emulation. The only reason why x86 isn't popular with andriod as it saps power. But that doesn't matter in a DESKTOP PC when the CPU has all the cooling and power it needs. X86 is the more powerful option anyways. While SoC arm CPUs are getting more powerful, there's only so much you can do with passive cooling, thin casing, and THD the fraction of what a Desktop has.

    How about drivers for graphic n sound? (If got onboard graphic card or PCI )
    Is it automatically functioning? Or drivers needed? If so, how to install drivers for both. TQ

      Android doesn't need additional drivers beyond what's in the base OS.

    A great alternative - if you don't have an extra PC around (and you have affiliate resources on a current PC/laptop) is to run a virtual instance of an Android - I've used BlueStacks in the past.
    Cheers and thanks for sharing!
