Stunning. Really! Not so much the newest Marshmallow, but Lollipop (esp. the 32 bit version) runs amazingly on my laptop, faster than on my beloved Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 tablet:
Hardware for my Android x86 install:
Lenovo T420s with 8 gigs memory 2 solid state drives (Android takes up 2nd one in entirety - 160g worth).
Versions tried:
Marshmallow - it runs from install usb, but when attempting to install grub to my ssd it fails.
Lollipop 5.1.1 64bit version - grub installs flawlessly and the OS works a charm. Runs anything which does *NOT* require root privileges. Even when root is assigned, it does not give root. So I can't restore from my Titanium files.
Lollipop 5.1.1 32bit version - This is a silver medal winner for me, as it runs *nearly* everything and *DOES* allow root / superuser privileges. Titanium works great, Adaway works great. Only drawbacks? Minor, but real. Words with Friends (my wife's favorite!) does not work. A newer version of Bejeweled (high def version) does not work.

Does not run on my HP desktop. I dual boot to W7 or Linux mint. Using Oracle VB on either platform the software launches to install screen, then hangs.

Works great on an old AOD250 netbook.

5 starts for hard work. However cannot make it run. 1) Tried copying an image to USB stick and the installation fails because it was not possible to mount a created partition for android OS, moreover an installer creates a loop in partition table. After reboot getting "machine check error". 2) Tried to use unetbootin using either fat32 or ext2/3 partitions with every combinations. Result - an installer is unable to find an android os. After reboot getting "machine check error". Would be nice to have a workable instructions how to easily setup android on USB stick using available tools. I had not had any issues with -r2 release.

Very useful for x86 users.

Good job on the project it self. Only complaint is downloads speeds on this page. Not sure but they're horrible they range from 700KBs to 50KB.

Excellent work

Formidable ! Installé sur une tablette MSI windpad w-110. Fonctionne à merveille. A l'origine avec w7, démarrage environ 5 mn. Maintenant, démarrage moins d'une minute. De plus, tout fonctionne bluetooth, double caméra, lecteur carte Sd. Cerise sur le gâteaux: peut etre rootée dés l'installation. Port HDMI non testé, encore. Bravo ! Ce qui manque : la gestion du gyroscope

Asus Eee PC 1015P (Intel GMA 3150). OpenGL hardware acceleration completely absent. Absolutely! Moreover there is a Very High energy consumption and blurry fonts.

Nice One.. but i want multi booting method if its possible....
-
i have tested many of these on many different system's not all motherboards are supported though i suggest that you download iso and try and run live os if it works then install you can even install it within a current os just do not format when installing any questions hit me up if you need help great job on the project
-
no native i686 support...i hope it's supported in the future
-
Great software for a great cause. Porting Android over can't be an easy task, as support for more drivers than the ones that are used on phones would increase times, as well.

Android x86 Worked perfects on my old computer (Up to 3.2) and my other computers worked nicely. The only thing I dislike is the fact desktops show the battery as ALWASE 0% so I have to use a laptop on Live CD if I want to rec a video on android.

Although I have had a few bugs here and there, this is perhaps one of the *best* open source projects out there. The Android x86 project is an excellent way breath life into an older netbook or laptop, if not a desktop computer. Even newer machines can benefit, allowing you to run the latest android apps on your PC without having to upgrade you phone or tablet every year or so. I give heartfelt thanks to all those who have helped bring this project to life.
