[Q] Anyone running Android x86 on Windows 8.1 Hybrid - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I need a new laptop so i am thinking about a new Windows 8.1 touchscreen hybrid (undock from the keyboard). Though curious if anyone has installed Android x86 on this as well and if so how good is the touch component and latency for gaming etc?
I kinda want a new tablet and a new laptop. Though hoping i can do both Android and Windows with one device and have a good experience on both.
Additionally I see Jar of Beans (Android x86 with root) has been discontinued anyone got a link to a good x86 android project with root and play store?
Would love your input.
Thanks.

bumpity bump!

android L X86 support

I am just curious to know what benefit X86 support would have?
it says "cross-platform support on ARM, x86, and MIPS technology"
so does it mean that now it will be easy to install new android on my X86 laptop running core i3?
also i think that if android now natively supports X86 so it would be easy to make it an OS for desktop with some tweaking in UI element to make it keyboard and mouse friendly...(PS: i dont have much knowledge of software development)
i use windows mainly for playing AAA PC games(only thing android cant do for me),i wish android to one day support high end graphic cards like nvidia gtx 780 along with developers support for AAA games that would be a dream come true situation for me because then i could ditch costly windows altogether :laugh:

Well yeah it will improve the support. But it's already done. I mean, android as a pc os (without tweaking them ). Check this site
www.android-x86.org
The android l is just gonna improve this project and make him better. About tweaking theme, the best solution i can offer is to install xposed and xhalowindow (if its called that i cant remember) and install a launcher (right now there isn't a launcher that is look just like windows, so it's need to be developed, I think it is time to do so with the new 2014 google android tv, I mean to make and old pc a google android tv and make the best of the old device)
The android x86 work with usb input, any gpu, LAN, wifi, bluetooth, mouse, pad, keyboard, microphone, camera and multitouch and more
The only weaknesses is that a lot of apps that doesn't support x86 prossesor (only ARM prossesor) will bring force close. It doesn't mean that all the ARM apps, but a lot of them. Another weakness is that apps that doesn't support rotation, will rotate all the screen untill shutdown (unless you'll install an app that force landscape rotation everywhere)

Anyone wanna develop for the hp stream 7 remix os

I have found a few android x86 images that work with the hp stream but isn't as stable. The image that I'm providing is that the touch and wifi works but not the orentation rotation. I'm wanting to put remix os on this thing since jide finally made it open source

Don't like windows 8 on this since I got it as a gift.
Hey keep us informed. I got a Stream 7 and would love to put Android or Linux on it.

Android TV Interface for Remix OS

Good day,
Are there any plans to add a version of Remix OS running the "Android TV" interface?
I think this would be great for users who would like to use Remix OS in the living room.
Here is a screen shot: https://developer.android.com/tv/images/atv-framed.png
Kind regards,
Renier
@reniers It's a good idea to have a TV UI, but how do you imagine it?
Bigger text and icons? (these can be changed within settings app and build.prop file; dpi)
Or something more?
Sent from mobile
@Vioner I was thinking of using the Android TV interface. Same as the Google Nexus Player or Nvidia Shield.

Hey Guys,
I am busy working on this.
so far I have the LeanBackLauncher working but never get any recommendations.
there is a working version using android X86 here
http://geektillithertz.com/wordpress/index.php/2016/06/20/android-tv-x86-build-2/
it has some basic functionality like LeanBackLauncher and Settings.
I want to create a port using remix OS because they have the latest code. for instance my HDMI audio doesnt work on Android X86 Project but does on Remix OS.
I am currently busy trying to port some other features like android remote. then I am going to debloat Remix OS. I will upload the Image once I have done some more work.

Will disney plus work on Android x86?

This service is driving me crazy they have an offline viewing thing, but it won't let me output to a Fire stick or a basic HDMI, and there is no windows app This is a solution I have been considering to just install Android x86 on my laptop, but I just wonder if it would work, can someone verify this?
It seems not
Nope
