We've always dreamed of having an Android device to try it out and enjoy its benefits, but for reasons that are not relevant now, none of the members of <° Linux have been able to obtain a mobile device with this OS.
But via MuyLinux I learned that we can now have Android on our PCs, news that I'm sure will delight many, including myself. This version of Android is based on the Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread branch and is adapted to run on devices with x86 chips.
What news does it include?
- Kernel 2.6.39.4 with KMS enabled, allowing netbooks to run Android x86 in native resolution.
- Hardware acceleration OpenGL for chipsets Intel y AMD Radeon.
- Support WiFi y Ethernet.
- New graphical installer that supports partitions ext2 / ext3 / ntfs / fat32.
- Support Bluetooth.
- Support for external drives USB and for cards SD.
- A software mouse cursor has been added, and the mouse wheel is also supported
