You guys are doing a Great Job!

It was about a year ago that I met android x86, being a total noob with Linux and terminal commands and that sort of stuff I started with this piece: http://android-x86.sceners.org/en/?p=734
Flash was kinda a must back then, everything worked fine except the webcam and mic and scrolling true the menu's was kinda buggy/slow

after I had used it for about 3-4 months I decided to put it down, till this this week: I gave it second try with Android-x86 4.4-r2


What works:

Wifi (tested 2 different chips, both work)
usb keyboard
sound
touchpad (with multi-touch)
extra usb hub
game-pad
usb webcam (tried 3, 2 worked 1might be to old to support uvc)
usb mouse
usb memory stick mounted as sd-card
vga port ( normal screen is non existing atm)

what does not work:

Practically nothing, except for some internal/software side stuff,

libhoudini: it seems to be integrated but it does not help a lot or not at all. I observed some of the topics about this, but the bigger ' characters' seem to lost interest at some point?
is it because most apps moved to armv7? or did I failed to enable it? or is there still some work in progress?

OpenGL: I'm observing the problem right now, tried different x86 apps and games (antutu benchmark/realracing3/asphalt8) but logcat shows the same exception over and over: fatal exception glthread 144


Some Specs:

Intel Atom N570 @ 1.66GHz 4 cores SSE 3 
2 gb ram
model 1015PX ? (according to hardware info inside android)


Conclusion:

The Android x86 projects knocked me of my shoes.... again..... it's amazing what u guys have done so far!
we'll see far u (as a community) can take it, all I know is my asus net-book pc just got a second life as a pseudo tablet and I think.... He likes it !

Hi Peter,

You can also give a try on a test version Android-x86 developers and enthusiasts like me are working on (Mesa 10.4.2 + kernel 3.18.2)

This is the topic we're discussing it now:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/kpPes4GcysY

And this is the img files built by group member rgb

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2evBKvIpdYkYWltaHNKMjV0MHM&usp=sharing

I've tested the 32 bits he (rgb) made available on a hardware similar to yours (Asus 1015PE Seashell - Atom N550 / 2 cores)

I could run a complete test on Antutu using this img. All worked (3D partially, scene lacks texture rendering and it's very slow, about 1fps - But this is not a hardware meant for 3D)

I've tested an Unity/OpenGL game called "Mussoumano", and it worked

Browsing and integrated camera worked as well.

If you have a chance, git a try on it. If possible, try also the 64 bits kernel version

Regards,

Thanks for the reply pstglia, I will try the 32-bit version first,
If I understand correctly I won't have benefit from 64-bit since I don't have that much of memory and driver support is logically behind? (this is an assumption from someone only familiar with windows 32/64 bit discussions)

I won't mind trying it for testing purposes later on, I'll let u now soon how the 32-bits version worked out for me

[Peter beks]

Thanks for your reply, tried the 32 version, it started and seems to work like a charm, I'm off to try the 64 bits version because I just read that gapps are included in that one (so I'm kindly tricked into that XD)

I'll let you know later on

rgb has included gapps for 32 bits today. You can download it if you wish
