Android-x86

Android-x86 was an unofficial port of the Androidmobile operating system (developed by the Open Handset Alliance) for the Intel x86 platform. It is an open source project designed to make Android run on devices powered by x86 processors (such as PCs), rather than RISC-basedARM chips.

Developers Chih-Wei Huang and Yi Sun originated the project in 2009. The project began as a series of patches to the Android source code to enable Android to run on various netbooks, tablets and ultra-mobile PC. Huang was the project maintainer and as of 2021 active developers included Mauro Rossi and Michael Goffioul. As of 2025, the project is considered inactive or discontinued.
