Android-x86

About

Android-x86 is a free and open-source project, originally known as "patch hosting for Android x86 support," dedicated to porting the Android open-source project to the x86 platform by hosting various community patches. This mobile OS, tagged with X86, android-patch, and touch-screen-utility, offers features such like ARM support, a gaming mode, and the ability to suggest and vote on features, all while being lightweight. It is compatible with Linux, VirtualBox, Self-Hosted environments, VMware Workstation Pro, and VMware Workstation Player. User reviews highlight its utility for running Android 8.1 and 9 on older x86 and Intel 64-bit CPUs via Qemu with full internet access, making it a viable emulator solution for some. However, some users have reported installation difficulties on specific hardware, such as AMD-Phenom processors and Samsung N210 netbooks, and occasional slow performance.
