Hello, Brand new Fossil Q Explorist Gen 4, updated. Synced with two accounts to the phone. When I first began wearing, the notifications would show up in the screen, but no vibration. Now vibration and notifications not showing. At first I tried with messenger, I made sure messenger was...

Seems pretty trivial and something that was easy to do on much older phones. But I can change the ringtone for individual people, to almost anything I want. No problems at all. I go to contacts - edit the contact and add a ringtone. But how do I change that same individual's text message tone...

I am writing here today (probably a TL:DR thread for most) about my trials and tribulations of making my Toshiba WT8-A into an Android monster machine! They said it can't be done (well, actually, they didn't say that, but it felt like it some times). Rather than tell you all the "don't's" I'll...

Ok, latest update (especially to all the naysayers out there): A full install of Nougat from Android x86 worked perfectly (a few minor glitches, but enough functionality for the requirements). I removed the Windows boot platform by running gparted, creating two partitions, one 1080 MiB for...

Turning this into a running diary: I have a USB keyboard and a USB hub. I installed Android. But once I shut down the tablet the original boot loader is looking for Windows. Even though I installed the GRUB(?) with Android. I can not seem to skip the first sequence.

So is it possible to boot from USB to Android Live and then install on the hard drive from Android Live? In other words, I am trying to avoid getting a USB hub and keyboard.

Well, my last point, I can get as far as ready for the set up, but need a USB hub and keyboard. Up and Down volume keys did not move when asking which partition was needed.

Latest update: Downloaded Download Android-x86 ISO file - 677.00 MB | version: 6.0-r3 64-bit | File Signatures from: https://www.fosshub.com/Android-x86.html I have managed to boot from USB and to fully operate. Now my next step is to fully install this on the hard drive of the Toshiba. This...

Right.... latest is: I have used an image file of this ReleaseNote 7.1-rc1 - Android-x86 - Porting Android to x86 and have got as far as the Android screen, but it doesn't seem to go any further when running from the USB. Not willing to risk installing it. I used three different programs, in...

Ok, I tried the above method as per the YouTube video and was successful to the boot up (needed to turn off the boot security, but got that sorted). Unfortunately, screen went blank. Possibly no driver for the screen?

Has anyone tried this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D22v4ZDcByA I am treating my tablet as a PC as essentially it is the same. Not quite as powerful maybe and a slightly different motherboard with an eMMC instead of a hard-drive. But essentially the same.... right?

Ok... so, in all my searches I can only find the Android x86 program. But I have an x64 processor. I am guessing this will not work? Someone must have had success with this?

I also think the F12 key may not work in Windows 10 (for some strange reason this haunts me on my Lenovo, there is some other strange way to access the boot order).

I saw that, but they're using Android x86. "When everything is installed, and Android booted up, it works pretty much as you might expect. Not all features are available as the x86 version is unofficial. As such you’ll need to install gApps to get things like Google Play and Gmail. This is true...

I have a Toshiba Encore with the following components: Processor: Intel Atom Z3740 @1.33GHz 32 bit operating system, x64-based processor Currently running Windows 10 successfully. The downside is that Windows 10 is so poorly supported for suitable apps for a tablet and my phone is an...
