Asus Chi T300 Installing Android as Dual Boot

I've seen this 2in1 has been on OZbargain several times, and from the comments I did see that some also bought it.

I did buy one too, and installed dual boot Android 6 from "Android x86" recently

I had initial issues with Google Play, but the errors are not appearing anymore.

Antutu scored a whopping 150K, and I must say it is really a very fast Android experience.

Anyone else installed dual boot?

  • I've just installed Remix OS on my Surface Pro 3 (which is based on Android x86), yesterday.
    I had problems with previous version (couldn't even boot it) but since they updated it to Marshmallow, I gave it a try and it worked.

    Probably need to set it up properly to say anything about it though. That said, few apps I tried did not work (Fallout Pip Boy app, Pokemon Go, which were two of my "it'd be cool to use" on Surface Pro 3), not sure whether it's because of Remix OS or Android x86.

  • What are you guys using as a bootloader? Grub doesn't pick up the original Windows partition to add it to the list of boot options, and without the exact execution for Android 6.0 RC1 I can't seem to add it using Grub2Win.

  • I used grub2windows. I set up android as search with name.

    • Any chance I could grab a pic of the way you've set it up? Not sure where I'm going wrong. Managed to get the execution code for loading Android using the original grub the installer uses, but grub2win claims unknown commands when executing it despite it using the same commands elsewhere.

    • With Disk Management from windows, I created a partition of size 16GB.
      This new partition needs to be formatted to ext4
      I installed Grub2Win. Start it, and go into the Manage Boot Menu button, located at the bottom, centered. Color yellow
      Creata new entry, I dont remeber if android was available. Otherwise choose Linux
      Manually edit the Linux Boot Parameter to
      verbose androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64 video=-16 SDCARD=sdc4"
      Apply.
      In the Äutomatically generate Gonfiguration …." box
      click on Search By Boot Directory
      and enter the name of your android x86 version.
      mine is ändroid-6.0-rc1
      You miht have to rename the zip,iso,img file you download from androidx86

      good luck
