The Android-x86 project aims to carry openly (source code available), the mobile operating system of Google Android to x86 platform. Originally known as a series of patches to support Android on x86, but the project evolved so that it can do more than patches. In other words, an entire code base to support multiple platforms and use Android x86 and therein was created.
This project is unofficial Google but it is the initiative of Chih-Wei Huang and Yi Sun, to bring this mobile OS to devices using AMD or Intel x86 processors based on RISC architecture and not ARM. The project actually began as a series of patches to the Android source code to allow the operating system running on platforms such as PCs and Netbook ultea-phones, the ASUS Eee PC particularmentre.
Chih-Wei Huang announced the version 4.4 of Android-x86. The review is r1 (the first), which is the most stable so far (considering we’re talking about KitKat 4.4-r1). This version is based on Android 4.4.2 (MR1 KitKat). We have worked in this version intensively so that they can work on devices with x86 machines, whether tablets or notebooks. The work in this version has been particularly in the part of video and multimedia, Use hardware acceleration in OpenGL ES for AMD Radeon and Intel chips.
The question really is whether it makes sense to port Android to the x86 platform. What do you think
