[fguy]

The transition to Android 9 from 8 was much easier than from 7 to 8.

I'm using Taskbar 4.0 from github.

Unfortunately, Google has not been able to do a normal multi-window even in the 9th android. In the Samsung it worked even in the 3rd android, not to mention the 5th and later. 

I would like to transfer TouchWiz + DeX from Galaxy Tab 4 to a oreo-x86, but this is a very difficult task and maybe even not feasible. 

It is a pity that there are no new tablets on Intel and Android from Samsung.

Details later ...

For assembly, patches of android components from oreo-x86 are used - thanks to the developers.

There are no patches of ffmpeg (again too many changes) and VT.

Kernel 4.9.109, mesa 18.1.2 and swiftshader from oreo-x86.

Working:

sound, camera, Wifi (HP with intel Core-M3 6Y30)

Superuser (oreo-x86) + RootExplorer 4.x & TitanBackup 8.1.0

Houdini (arm32 from Nexus Player Android 8.0) - did not even expect it ;)

Problems:

1. It is loaded only with the key androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64 - the same was on oreo-x86 8.0

2. wpa_supplicant does not install the file wpa_supplicant.conf in data/misc/wifi - I do it myself in init.sh

3. screenshots in adb do not work

4. "Power" button (tablet) and sending Ctrl-Alt-Del to VMware do not invoke the Power menu

5. It did not work to add Gapps 8.1 and 9.0 - hangs on "Android", in the cache log for unknown reasons

6. The screen does not go out when you go to sleep - there are buttons below and time

Test assembly:

To install on VMware use SATA-disk with fat32 and GRUB, set system.sfs unpack (there img). Other my recommendations for launching on WMware on this forum.

On the tablet install as img files in a folder in C: with NTFS.

For load use refind from USB Flash (use BIOS UEFI).

Problems:

3. screenshots in adb do not work

Saving the screen through adb does not work and on 8.1.

There is a problem with displaying applications in task management - on 8.1 everything works.

Do you have any of the patches/commits pushed to GitHub or elsewhere yet?

The project is made locally. Spread on the github of desire and time I do not have. I can share the modified files with the authors of the android x86 project.

Hello.

Thanks for sharing.

I can't boot it from a 32bit UEFI, and in 64bit UEFI it seems to be in a loop (Chuwi hi12). Not sure why.

Maybe you have "Problem 1"? 

[Jose Luis s]

maybe....

But what does it mean, is it a kernel boot parameter? androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64,

Thanks

YES!!! You can add this "androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64" (without the "") in the installer for live launch by clicking the "Tab" button.

Can Anyone tell Me how to Install Android Pie on Vmware  Workstation 14.1 ?

Step by Step Guide please. Newbie!

Hello, thought it would be interesting to try 9 on this pc. I downloaded the file you provided, however after creating a start disk it is not detected by the system... using ubuntu start up disk... is there a way to push this from 8? that would be real convenient...

[4TechGuns]

I tried this too. I just discovered that the media is only bootable if you use Rufus (unfortunately Rufus is only available on Windows)
