Recently I got this tablet and wanted to install android on it, since windows seems too heavy for a Intel Atom,
Well I boot up my usb (live) on the tablet, I get 4 options.
(Note: I tried using the 5.1 iso, and the 6.0 iso, and didnt work either, The Info Im giving is from the CM iso one)
Android-x86 13.0-rc1 Live
Android-x86 13.0-rc1 DEBUG mode
Android-x86 13.0-rc1 Installation
Windows,
Tried booting Installation first, it just gives me a (frozen, idle?) terminal showing only "-",
Used the other options and gave me the same (Not windows one).
So any clue on this? I really need help on this,
Thx

did you ever tried with live mode? and perphaps do you know what version is installed? 13.0 i know that is Cyanogenmod. Try with android-x86_64-6.0-r1.iso and use live mode for testing first. After that made the instalation on EXT3 Partition ( if you have a NTFS partition, use it)

Looks like an Z2760 unit. These CPUs are pure crap. Too weak for Windows
desktop software and poor Linux support (Intel openly says that Z2760
"does not support Linux").
You're pretty much stuck with using Metro software.

I dispute it is too weak for Windows, I have used mine on Windows since
new. Just remember it is a low power tablet and it was designed to work
with Windows. HP has not made any Linux support for it and the biggest
issue is to get a supported touchscreen driver for another platform.

Maybe it's good enough if you just use it for light browsing and media
viewing. That's about all these tablets are capable of.
Main selling point of these Clovertrail tablets over Android ones with
comparable specs was that they ran Windows and were compatible with x86
desktop software.
But Clovertrail CPU was too weak for anything more than a browser or
Office suite.
The biggest Linux problem of these tablets is lack of GPU driver.
Without a driver for GMA 3600 (aka. PowerVR SGX545) running desktop
Linux or Android isn't really possible.
The only Linux driver for these PowerVR GPUs was last updated IIRC in 2012.
