Need help Installing 4.4 r2 on Asus T100

[Rico Stapel]

Hi,

I can get the USB with the iso on to boot but it can't find the partition I created and formatted (ex3) on the sd. So I dont see where I could install it. I did read that this is a bootloader issue but I couldn't find any info on how to resolve it. I couldn't test the "android-x86-4.4-r2.img" file as this shows as corrupt after downloading. (tried twice).

Can you help please?

BTW. how is 4.4 running on the T100 in general? the boot from usb is extremely sluggish and unusable once loaded. I have high hopes for this as the software I use most sucks on windows with a touchscreen.

What software is that?

Short version: if you're looking for production everyday use, don't use android-x86 on T100 right now. The "best" android variant that would run well on it is amiduos, which runs as VM under windows. However, if you're willing to do tests (and optionally make your own build), JJ's kernel config (based on Ubuntu's) should provide improvements over released 4.4-r2.

Long version: 

Certain peripherals used by T100 are not supported by linux right now. This includes the mmc, which is used for:

- internal disk/emmc

- SD card slot

- wifi

The released 4.4-r2's kernel config is built in a way that it can NOT access T100's SD card. So it's NOT bootloader issue, but kernel config issue. Ubuntu, as well as JJ's kernel config, can use the SD card. However the linux kernel itself currently still have problems with T100 mmc, which (even in Ubuntu) results in "hangs" once you write certain amount of data to internal disk/SD, and mmc reset errors (which essentially makes the systems unusable) once you use wifi to transfer certain amounts of data.

Last time I tested running 4.4-r2 from the dock HD, it works fast and beautifully (including video hardware accelerations, wifi, and sound) for a while, until it hangs due to mmc/wifi issues above. So don't use it for "production" right now. Amiduos under windows runs a little bit slower, but still useful even for 3D games (and it doesn't hang).

There are efforts to improve this situation (see also google+ T100 Ubuntu community) on the kernel side, but so far there is no proven way to get T100's mmc & wifi to run reliably under linux.

Thank you very much Fajar. I would like it for production as I am less than impressed with windows on touch. I'll try vm ware and DuOS. Thanks very much for the pointers.

Hi,
I install Android 4.4.4 on HDD Partition of my Asus T100TA,
If you like this scenario, I can help.

[Rico Stapel]

Does everything in Android 4.4.4 work? I am a bit disheartened as I need it for production.

to a day well lived,

if you need it for production....go see consoleOS.....they'll have something in a couple years...MAYBE

[Rico Stapel]

Console OS is a rip off or so I heart but duos by amibios runs quite good. They still have an annoying sleep bug but working on it.

rbg's post is sarcasm, incase you missed it :)

I simply disable sleep on duos side, and let windows handle sleep.

I'm looking forward to android-x86 with 3.19 kernel when it becomes
available though, since there's supposed to be fixes for mmc problems
there.
