I have the same issue. Eee Pc with RC2 installed in the 4gb SSD. Skype is installed but quits after few seconds of signing in. Also, adobe flash is not working.It is installed but when tried with CNN video, it asks to install 10.1 or higher and it already has 11.1. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I have installed the ARM emulator.
Thanks
Pramod

The team works hard to make sure certain netbooks are supported, but there are no promises for standard laptops. You could try if you wanted, but there are no promises.

If you just want to try Android out I recommend doing so in VirtualBox.

That’s an arm device, afaik. So, what you have to do is to download the android source, and compile it in your device. I dont know if there is an iso for that case, though.

I haven’t gotten Skype to work, but I’m curious: did you install the ARM emulator?

HI Justin I’m running Android 4 RC2 on my Asus Eee PC 1001HA
Everything seems to work fine, including regular camera apps (though a choppy) except Skype. It loads to login and a second or two into logging in it just quits to the home screen, doesn’t even say the app crashed, it just quits out. If there is a way to fix this, please help ….

It might be so, but I had Amazing Alex working perfectly so I don’t think that’s the case in your situation. Make sure you close a number of open programs before you try to open a big game like Amazing Alex, and outside that I’m not sure what the problem could be.

Is it possible that the translator works for some apps and not others? Angry birds works, Amazing Alex doesn’t. Ideas? Great tutorial by the way.

i give a try Android-x86 4.0 RC2 amd_brazos version on my Lifebook PH521 that running on AMD E450, its very simple install.
but I cant find physical keyboard layout though i can adjust sound volume & brightness from my keyboard, any idea?
my bluetooth failed to turn-on too, since i expect this for my mobile modem to connect to internet because no wifi around me.
should i try asus or eepc version?
thanks justin, sorry for my bad english.

I’m afraid I can’t help with this, and people reading this article probably won’t be able to either: it’s an article about installing Android on Intel computers and tablets. You could try MakeUseOf Answers, however:

i have an augen netbook – arm netbook with android 2.1. my problem is i’m only seeing 7″ on the 10″ screen (and, of course, i got it on ebay). this thing works some/most of the time. i’ve been fooling with it since last fall, but other than rooting it, i’m getting nowhere. since i see the reduced screen from the augen 108 splash into the android splash, i’m thinking i need to replace the linux part. just can’t get anything to load. any ideas?

I sadly only know what I can learn from my own hardware, and from Google. I assume you’re using this ISO?

http://code.google.com/p/android-x86/downloads/detail?name=android-x86-4.0-RC2-tegav2.iso&can=2&q=

Sorry if that’s not helpful.
