I am relatively new to the x86 community, and I love the idea of running my PC as an android device. I do have a problem, however. I can't run x86 off of VESA mode without a really wacky screen. I can live boot in VESA mode, and I can "successfully" install Android x86 with it enabled, but when I reboot my PC, it goes straight back to Windows. I made sure, multiple times to "install the GRUB bootloader," and I "added Windows 10 to the menu" (I added quotes because it doesn't really do that), but when I reboot, I do not see the bootloader, and it goes straight to the default OS, Windows 10. May I get some help from some more computer savvy guys here? It will be much appreciated. Oh, and I have a relatively old Dell computer with an AMV 64 bit proccessor. I will have to check later today for the exact make and model. Thanks!!!

Hello, Boot GRUB press E to edit command GRUB, this rename command


Normal command:

Kernel /androd-6.0-r3/kernel root=/dev/ram0 quiet hardware.androidboot=android_x86_64 quiet SRC=/android-6.0-r3


For:

Kernel /androd-6.0-r3/kernel root=/dev/ram0 quiet hardware.androidboot=android_x86_64 nomodeset quiet SRC=/android-6.0-r3 UVESA_MODE=1024x728

1024x728  <- Resolution monitor

nomodeset  <- VESA Mode command


OK.
