(part 2 on X86 Android) – Netbook with single core Intel CPU
In this video I demonstrate the Android 4.4 Kitkat x86 release on my Akoya M1222 netbook as Windows 7 Starter Edition wasn’t really working smoothly on this machine.
I did use Ubuntu on it very successfully but with the new X86 Android release I just had to try it. Check out the video to see how I did.
It supports all my hardware out of the box! And it supports the Google Playstore out of the box!

The first part on the installation of the system can be found here:
Prerequisites
– Download the latest Android-x86 ISO file see link in description of video
– USB flash drive or a bootable CD/DVD drive
– Ensure there is sufficiently free hard disk space on the computer/laptop on which you want to install Android-x86 OS. Bascially free unpartition space that you can select from the installer
I either a tool to make a bootable Linux USB stick or burn the ISO to a CD and boot from that. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ for example is a tool you can use. Or http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
Then boot your computer and follow the instructions like I did in the video ( http://youtu.be/mykKzi9DLZ0 ).
Select ext2 as file format for the drive that seems to work best and easiest. Do opt to use the Grub loader – it will even make your system multi boot if there’s a partition with Windows on it. But installing a OS next to an existing OS does risk you loosing your data or the ability to boot into windows so that’s something you should take into account.
