Because I spent a lot of time the last few days installing Arch Linux on my x86 Tablet (featuring an Intel Atom Z3735F) I was wondering if the same thing (installing a common Linux Distribution) is possible on an Android Tablet?
I have a pretty old Acer Iconia B1 with a common MediaTek Dual-Core CPU, 512MB RAM and 8GB internal storage here, but the hardware specs should be enough considering that Arch Linux x64 + i3 Window Manager = ~140MB of RAM.
But first - is it even possible to do this? And where to start?

Hello, well I've been trying to see if I'm able to install an Android OS on a Desktop Computer. I'm sort of new, at working with Android OS and script. So I have a spare desktop computer from dell. Dell Vostro 410 it is, the system is based on Intel Core 2 Quad processors and is equipped with a 800MHz system memory and (up to six) 512MB graphics card(s). I have 2 ram cards in both 512 MB.
The compatible one I can find is eeepc, and at that it's glitching.
Is there a way to install a different rom, but still be android?
How do I really tamper with the kernel?
Is there some easier way to messed with the OS?
Hi,
I have a Lenovo Yoga tablet 2 10". It comes in two variants, the Windows version with a 32gb disk, and an Android version with a 16gb disk. From everything I can find out, those is the only difference between the two.
Because of projects like Android on Intel and Console OS I decided to buy the windows version with an intent of developing a dual boot tablet.
So, so far I have started the build process of the Intel baytrail target, and it has been running for a couple hours. everything is looking good though.
Next I am trying to build lenovo's kernel sources Located here for my tablet but had problems as I did not have the NDK and when I tried to install it on my debian wheezy machine, it complained about glibc being the wrong version, so I have to upgrade to sid to get glibc 2.17.
Anyway, my real question is, I can figure out how to build the Intel android installer, and I can figure out how to build a kernel, but How do I combine them?
The Intel make command, seems to build the kernel into some kind of installer, that then installs a bootlader (droidboot) and the rom on the tablet.
Hello,
I just got as a present an Acer One S1003 and it's on Windows 10 and I don't like it. Cannot return it (don't ask why pls), but I managed to install Android 7.0 on it. Now the issue I have is that it doesn't find the driver for Wifi and G Sensor. Everything else works, sound and all, but I can't enable Wifi or Autorotate.
Tried to find the drivers on Google but I could only find the Windows 10 ones.
Please help me to find some drivers or let me know if I need to install a different version of Android.
Thank you,
Daniel
on android 8.1 and 9 wifi is working but don't work g sensor and i can only run android x86 8.1 with no hardware acceleration. Can't normal start android. I don't know what is with x64 because this s.h.i.t of tablet supports only UEFI 32 bit, NO 64 bit and NO legacy mode, but processor is 64 bit and have 4 gb memory. Someone in acer is very very creative processor x64 4 GB memory and only support UEFI 32 bit my mind can't understand it :/

My best advice is to try running Ubuntu in virtual box. I've done it before without much trouble on windows 7. I recommend checking out this thread for that. It's been a huge help to me in the past. And you can find video tutorials on how to build over here.
If you just wanted to compile twrp or a kernel it probably wouldn't be a problem with those specs. You're probably going to have a lot of issues trying to build an OS with a system like that though. That's simply not enough RAM. Compiling loves ram. I've ran out of memory trying to build with 8gb of RAM in virtual box before. Your CPU specs are also very important here. You'll want at least 4 cores to run the box by itself. It is very system intensive, and can easily make your host OS inoperable while running. I have the following specs, and virtual box will cripple my PC if I try to build an OS on it.
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 @3.8GHz (6 cores, 12 threads)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 (3gb)
Ram: 8gb DDR4 @2800MHz
6TB HDD (7200rpm)
For simple projects it's very useful, but for OS building in vitual box you really need a very beefy machine.
Languages: Linux, and lots of it. There's no way around that. You'll also need to be very familiar terminal commands. It is not for the faint of heart. I wish you luck.
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra (Snapdragon 865).I have successfully managed to install and run Windows XP Professional 64-Bit and Xubuntu 18.04 i686 (32-Bit) on my phone with Limbo PC Emulator.
It runs without any issues but it is very slow as Limbo can only use a single core of my 8 core phone. I can't use KVM to use all 8 cores because I want to run x86 or x64 OS and not any arm OS (KVM only works if my device is of the same architecture as the emulated guest).
I just want to run Windows 10 (32 or 64 bit) on my phone with native performance (If possible). Is this possible or have my dreams gone too far? I am ready to even root my phone (or even to risk soft or even hard bricking my phone).
Thanks A Lot (in advance)

With regards to run Windows 10 in Limbo emulator:
Set
CPU-cores to 4
RAM to at least 1 GB ( if 32bit ) and/or to at least 2 GB ( if 64bit )
