[Yoga 13] Android-x86 / Android-IA

Well, I think the subject is descriptive enough, has anyone tried any of this custom Androids on the Yoga 13? I've tried both; I got Android-x86 to liveboot by disabling UEFI, with no wireless, but that is as far as I gone due to no GPT support and no EFI support.
As for Android-IA, despite it's native EFI and GPT support, I couldn't get the last release to boot or install. I've posted this issue on their community, because there's a Google Doc that says Yoga is supported although with no wireless / BT.
From what I've read across different forums, I've learned that the Yoga's -POS- wireless adapter's driver is not included (or enabled, I don't know exactly) on the Android's kernel, so even if I got to install any of them, they wouldn't connect wirelessly.
I'm not looking for official support, as I know this ultrabook is intended to run only Windows 8, but Android has far more apps on its store, aside from being the number one mobile OS today.
Ultimately, I believe it would be a competitive advantage for Lenovo to offer an official patch / update that installs dualboot Android on their Ultrabooks (such as Yoga, Twist, and others).
Please share your experiencies and maybe we can get this to work.

Hey guys,
I don't meat to brag but I'm on my Lenovo Yoga 2 13 inches and writing from android x86 4.4.2 :]
Just to say it's possible if you look to the right places. Everything doesn't work (orientation and camera don't), but wifi surprisingly do work fine and I'm able to play 3D games on it flawlessly using Tegra packages (wolf among us, the walking dead, Fruit ninja, hitman go, GTA chinatown wars, ...).
it's installed with Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.10 using Grub 2. Also the boot is in safe mode.
If I have the time, I'll do a quick tuto. (It's a mess, NOT for the faints of heart)

  • Android x86 works by default?

    Hi all,
    with the recent adding of x86 support for Android, I decided to buy an Android x86 tablet for testing (Dell Venue 7, specifically). I was surprised to find that my app can be downloaded from Google Play already and works without notable errors. The app is packaged with a captive runtime and I never made any changes to support x86 architectures. Is it not necessary to create an apk specifically for x86 devices? That is at least what I read in the Adobe guidelines.
    Thanks

    Go to Google Play console, enable extended mode for uploading apk and upload both apks. Make sure the x86 version has a higher version number than ARM so that devices that support both processors take advantage of the faster x86 versions as described in this article: http://blogs.adobe.com/airodynamics/2014/06/26/versioning-of-multiple-apks-for-android/
    You don't have to make any other settings, Google Play is able to identify the required architecture based on the apk and automatically deliver the correct one to the user.

  • Include Android-x86 directly from ANE

    I have one ANE + SWC, without the source code and I managed to include the Android-x86 support by expanding the ANE (zip file).
    However I have another ANE without the original SWC. How can I include the support for Android-x86 on this case ?

  • Arch & Android-x86 Dual Boot ?

    Hi All
    Has anyone installed Android-x86 as a Dual Boot with Arch yet ?  Its something that i'm considering doing and wondered if anyone had done it yet ?

  • Rtmfp android to android not working

    I'm testing a small multiplayer app using rtmfp. The problem is it's not working when testing the app android to android. Only from PC to android device.
    After testing a lot I tried using Cirrus. And got it working when I set groupspec.serverChannelEnabled = true. BUT I would prefer not using Cirrus but the rtmfp protocol alone. Here's part of the code:
    nc = new NetConnection();
    nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatus);
    nc.connect("rtmfp:");
    //nc.connect("rtmfp://p2p.rtmfp.net/***keyhere***/"); //use cirrus.
    function netStatus(event:NetStatusEvent):void{
              switch(event.info.code){
      // The connection attempt succeeded
                        case "NetConnection.Connect.Success":
                                  trace("setup group" );
                                  setupGroup();
                                  break;
                        // The NetGroup is successfully constructed and authorized to function.
                        case "NetGroup.Connect.Success":
                                  // Do nothing
                                  trace("connect success "+nc.nearID.toString());
                                  break;
                        // A new group posting is received
                        // post received
            case "NetGroup.Posting.Notify":
                 // post received
                       if (event.info.message.word) {
                                   game_mc.okknap_mc.visible=true;
                          writtenWord= event.info.message.word
                           addThisWord(writtenWord);
                                  break;
                      // routed message received
            case "NetGroup.SendTo.Notify":

                 break;
                        // user joins?
                        case "NetGroup.Neighbor.Connect":

  • Control volume from Android to Android with Spotify Connect

    Spotify Connect is great! Since some days ago we can control the Desktop App from our mobile phone or tablet, including volume control. What's still missing is volume control from Android to Android. 
    In this thread it is stated that this function already works, but I have several Android devices at home, and on none of these devices does volume control with Spotify Connect work. More people have this problem, see this thread. It does work from Android to PC, which is already great. 
    I've contacted Spotify Support, and they confirmed that volume control from mobile to mobile doesn't work at the moment. 
    So, the idea is:
    Please implement volume control with Spotify Connect from Android to Android!

    I've been waiting for the volume control feature for a long time now. It is already supported by the Windows Desktop App. Why not on Android devices? I am using an Android TV box with the Spotify App as Spotify connect client. A great tool, but would be perfect with remote volume control. michel123 wrote:

  • Yoga Tablet 2 1050F Android 5 and first freeze after sleep....

    I dont believe. Problem return with new update for 5.0

    Lenovo is investigating customer reports that after upgrading a Yoga Tablet 2 8 830 or 10 1050 to Android 5.0.1 Lollipop, the tablet freezes in sleep mode and will not awaken when tapping the power button.
    Two known workarounds: hold the power button down for 60+ seconds until the tablet recovers, or unplug the tablet from AC power and wait several days for the battery to drain, then plug it in and it may recover.
    It would help the investigation if several customers would be willing to provide logs capturing this failure event for Yoga Tablet 2 8 or 10 1050 models. This would require starting the log collection before putting the tablet into sleep mode.
    To capture logs, please follow this procedure: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/yoga-series/yoga-tablet-2-830/documents/HT103449

  • Windpad 110W Android x86 ICS App Storage Problems

    Does anyone else have trouble getting more than a small handful of apps installed before there isn't any room for more? I have about 4Gb on my SSD dedicated to Android and 2Gb are unused. When in the storage setting on ICS I have only about 300Mb which is full. Isn't there a way to mount a "fake" SD card to access more space. I tried to install a regular SD card, but android doesn't recognize it. I can use an 8Gb USB storage dongle in the "mount SD function", but it still won't recognize it for the sake of installing more apps.  Only being able to install around 20 apps is a real bummer   Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

  • Yoga 1 or 2 android tab

    When i was out they drew me back in.......
    I have the b8000F 10 yoga 1. Lived through the dark days waiting for a satisfactory software update, which in the main arrived Jan 2015. So happy with that. Looking for an additional tablet and the yoga is still unbeaten for design imo. So the ? is, go with the Yoga 1, which seems stable now or suffer the heartache all over again with the Yoga 2 ( not unnoticed the quantity of posts), been there, done that already with the Yoga 1.
    Opinions please.

     Samsung released their finalized version to the US carriers back in October iirc.  It's the carriers that are sitting on their hands now.  There is a rumor floating around about a comment on internal Verizon channels that they will be pushing out a Maintenance Release (not Froyo) that should fix the laggy GPS and some other issues while Froyo has been pushed back to early next year.  So I guess it's just a waiting game at this point.
