Key Features

The 4.0-RC1 release is based on the Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream

Sandwich branch). We have fixed and added x86 specified code to let

the system runs smoothly on x86 platforms, especially for netbooks

or tablets. The key features contain

Kernel 3.0.8 with KMS enabled. Most netbooks can run

Android-x86 in the native resolution.

OpenGL hardware acceleration for AMD Radeon and Intel chipsets.

You may disable it by adding HWACCEL=0 to the cmdline if you have

trouble to enable hardware acceleration.

Support Multi-touch, Wifi, Audio, Bluetooth, G-sensor and

Camera.

Enable v8 javascript engine, ~ 10x faster than old jsc engine.

(tested by V8 Benchmark Suite)

Enable chrome http stack to suppoer media streaming.

Simulate sdcard by internal storage.

Experimental support of Renderscript.

External usb drive and sdcard are auto mounted to /mnt/USB on

plugging.

A text based GUI installer which supports ext3/ext2/ntfs/fat32

filesystems.

The iso files are hybrid format. That means you can dump the iso

into a usb drive and get a bootable usb stick, like

$ dd if=android-x86-4.0-xxx.iso

of=/dev/sdX

where /dev/sdX is the device name of your usb

drive.

Known issues

Suspend and resume doesn't work on some targets.

No Ethernet support.
