I used the Android x86 installer for UEFI devices found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/winapp-android-x86-installer-uefi-t3222483
That installed fine and the OS runs fairly well though I would like to have my /data partition be located on an SDCard rather then on my actual built in storage.
Now, from my other attempts at trying to install Android x86 I've learned that nothing can boot from an SDCard but is it possible to have Grub or Android use an SDCard for my /data directory?
I'm pretty sure I saw a thread mentioning this a while ago but I can't seem to dig it back up for the life of me.
Thanks guys.
Anyone have any info on this, I've still yet to figure this out.
it's some thing you doing in your phone that makes the orginal installation path to your sd card but what is your cell phone model first ???

Your issue is probably a problem with the kernel not being able to use your display or GPU properly. Just wait until the next RC or chekc out the IRC chat, someone might be able to help you there.

I'm not talking about an actual Android phone, I'm using Android x86 on an ASUS Transformer Book T100TAM.
So I've since tried to create symlinks from the /data partition to the sdcard and it ended up just crashing/bootlooping. I figured it might be because the sdcard is a FAT32 formatted device and there for doesn't support Unix permissions/ownership. I tried formatting the card as EXT4 and now android just refuses to mount it.
Any one have any ideas for me?
Thanks.
I'm running out of ideas here. Does anyone have any suggestions for me on this issue?

^^That's what's at the root of my gtab's /sdcard.
Also, there used to be two folders in that that I had created and are no longer there.
Here's what I was doing immediately before I noticed this:
I'm currently using TnT Lite. I need to be able to access wifi at work but my company uses EAP encryption and TnT doesn't have a setting for EAP. I decided that rather than switching roms, I would just switch settings menus (using the files found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857939).
Stupid me, I downloaded them to /sdcard2 rather than /sdcard. I booted into clockworkmod and tried to install the zip from the sdcard but clockworkmod couldn't find anything. I realized my mistake and rebooted the gtab and hooked up the usb to my pc. That's when I noticed the file corruption.
Everything still seems to work as it did before, I just don't have access to any of the files that were in those folders.
In case it matters, one folder held the TnT Lite rom and the other held several videos.
Does anyone have any idea what could have caused this?
Should I try to delete the corrupted files?
Any help with this is much appreciated.
I don't claim to know why this happens this is just what I did to fix my problem.
I noticed this on my gtab also, to the point my cal program wouldn't open. The only way I could fix it was to do an sd partition to it fix the issue. There are instructions on how to do that with cm8. This is from memory so please double check, go to the advanced options choose sd partition 2048/0. Please note that this wipes the sd card so back up prior.
I still get a few of those weird files buy not like before.
same thing happened to me but hasn't come back after
re-partitioning with cwm ... maybe that is the fix
I would *really* like to know why this happens (that and why
the sdcard2 gets wiped out sometimes).
Basically, you dare not trust android with any important data
and you never know if what's on it will disappear suddenly
Unfortunately, this makes the tablet just a toy
So is the best option really just to re-partition the sd card?
If I end up re-partitioning, will I have to flash the ROM over again? Or does partitioning just remove the user data?

No
hey guys, i have recently purchased a used visual land connect VL879 tablet for a x-mas present for my fiancee, and i just figured i would install a new rom on the device, however, i have not been able to find any roms or much support for this device. i bought the device used so it did not have the operating system installed on it. i have put the device into recovery mode but it doesnt help much if i cant find a rom to install on the device, also i have had no luck finding a way to flash clockwork mod to the device, or a version of clockwork mod for this device. any help would be appriciated. i could use live suit, but it will not work with windows 8 which i am currently using on my laptop, if i have no other way i will go to my house and use my desktop that has win 7 . if you can help then thank you. -syntax

I had attempted to post a helpful link to the latest ics rom for your device but since I'm still new here I'm not yet permitted too. So, I'll point you in the direction the best I can. Check out the forums at tabletroms dot com. Navigate to the Prestige 7 section. There you will find a thread titled "Visual Land Firmware." The roms for all visual land 7" tablets are available there.
Best of luck

what can I do? I cant connect It to the pc, debbuging os off and I cant get the tablet tô Power on, I can only get system recovery.
The pc ser the tablet but only as unknonw.
I don't know its a virus or what but suddenly my phone was not responding. I had a doubt that it was a virus so I decided to wipe everything but my recovery also stopped working.
How can I solve this ?
What ROM are you using?I suggest flashing a new ROM This time wipe everything except SDcard if it fails then wipe SDcard too.
nothing is working :/ i tried adb and tried to mount the system but it is failing. tried to wipe through twrp nothing working.
update twrp to 3.0.0 but still same
Now I have done "fastboot erase system" now my os is not starting and i am unable to flash another through adb
Please Any suggestion ?
anyone ?
if u erased system partition then os wont start as u have erased os files. Now the best thing to do is wipe all partitions from twrp. download a new custom rom and flash it through twrp. if u were using stock rom and want it u may get that from forums too. if u have a working nandroid backup ( which i feel u dont have) of previous rom u may try that
i can't format or wipe or do anything from my twrp.
EDIT: you can see it in the video
Don't keep creating new threads for this issue... and don't create threads with profanities in the title and text.
Whether the filter edits your profanities or not, your intention to swear is clear and unacceptable here.
Your other thread has been deleted.
Keep posting your issues within this thread and hopefully someone will help you.
We don't need multiple threads for every issue you progressively find yourself in.
It also makes it harder for someone to help you, if you're constantly creating a new thread for each new issue.

So I downloaded Phoenix OS for my PC cause I been wanting find something that would turn my PC into an Android more or less. When I installed it and restarted the PC I was able to either load Windows 7 or Phoenix and both were working fine. Well all of a sudden, now when I try to load Windows 7 it takes me to this error screen

I installed the Phoenix OS onto my Hard Drive and I think that is where I messed up. Now I am stuck using only the phoenix OS. Can I do anything to fix this. I dont have my Windows CD or Recovery CD and when I hit System Restore F11 or whatever it is it just sits there froze and does nothing. I went into the BIOS and looked and made sure the Internal Drive was set as the main boot and nothing has changed. Is there anything I can do where I can get my Windows back? If I go to my File Manager on the Phoenix OS it shows that all my files are still on the hard drive so what is the issue??? Anyones help that knows how to fix this would be so so so appreciated as I like Phoenix but didnt wanna get rid of my Windows 7 either. I need help getting Windows back up. I read that I was supposed to partition my drive or some ****. I didn't do that so is that the cause and can I do anything at all to fix this or am I screwed using Phoenix OS until I can buy another Windows CD to do a whole new setup
Your image doesn't load for me but Im gonna take a stab in the dark - something sort of similar happened to me with Remix OS / W7 dual-boot machine. Basically you're gonna have to do some research on fixing your Windows bootloader or GRUB since something probably happened where GRUB removed the option to load into Windows or something like that. Basically your Windows is still there installed on your PC but your bootloader isn't showing it as an option.

@Boyko99
Either boot-loader broken or Android system corrupted. Re-flash Stock ROM.
I don't know if my answer came to you so I'll rewrite it

Because you avoided to name phone's brand/model in this thread's title you can't really get advised.
Anyway:
Assumed these requirements
got fulfilled, the USB-driver suitable to your phone is installed on PC,
then the basic steps to perform are
1) Unlock phone's boot-loader, if not done yet
2) flash the ROM
@jwoegerbauer
I can't start the phone so I don't know how to do it I'm stuck in twrp because if I try to turn it on it goes into a loop
@Boyko99
My POV:
This is the price that people who think they must improve (?) phone's Android, will say put up a better (?) ROM / Recovery than that what gets pre-installed by OEM/Carrier ( in their R&D department there are certainly no idiots sitting around ), pay.
@jwoegerbauer
i have a note 3 its the worts rom of all
