i'm running liveandroid v0.2 without problem on Virtuarbox 3.0 in Ubuntu 9.04 :)
liveandroid v0.2, MS Windows XP x64, VirtualBox?, freezes at loading.
Hi. I created another mirror, it can be useful for (central) european users: http://uloz.to/2111898/liveandroidv0.2.iso
Freezes at Live Android screen on Dell Mini 9
Tried running Live Android on a HP Pavilion A6700F deasktop and it froze on the Live Android Logo. And I also tried it on a Compaq Presario SR1711NX Desktop and it too froze on the Live Android logo.
freezes at Live Android screen on hp 6324us running vista ultimate
Booting from USB on EEE PC 701... freezes at garbled Live Adroid logo
Booted a late 2006 Macbook using rEFit. Says power is down to 15%. Dismissed, went into console to config eth0, didn't see it. But it sorta works.
Same as above, but on IBM T20. Great speed on the notebook, but resolution was off and no ethernet.
Same as above, freezes on : IBM T61, IBM T40 , Dell Mini9 using either USB or CD
Live CD freezes at the Live Android screen on my Dell Inspiron 1545. I was able to run it in VirtualBox? OSE, though I got the %15 battery message there that others have reported.
I tried it on my desktop and I saw only screen with text "Live Android". Graphic card - Ati Radeon X1600Pro?...
Works fine with VirtualBox? 3.02 r49928 (latest). My config has 128MB RAM, 12MB for video. (selected Linux, other for OS). Can confirm the 15% battery on start. Did some browsing and sometimes had browser freeze (wait..close), but can't see a pattern yet.
I'm going to try reducing the memory to see what the min footprint is :-)
You may have done something wrong if it freezes to you. ...or you may have incorrectly merged the split iso files.
I mapped iso inside the Microsoft's Virtual PC 2007. I merged the files with the following dos command: > copy /B file.001.iso + file.002.iso file.iso
Not freezing to me at all!
My Samsung NC10 is freezing at the Live Android splash screen
booted up fine on my acer aspire laptop but i got a 15 min left warning and after the 15 was up it acted like a phone and started for a few seconds and shut off , i had to pull the battery to get it properly rebooted
Using Parallels, it didn't work with "Other" as OS. Worked when I changed OS to "Linux" and "Other Linux"
Used Virtual PC 2007 selected "Other" and configured it with 128mb, GUI froze instantly. :(
Hi, can anyone tell me the md5 sum for liveandroidv0.2.iso.001 and liveandroidv0.2.iso.002? (mine: 001=27d13a0df3ee3c3a5fa0dbd8e6532c6f, 002=ac0ca2ebf9551885dd7615e4843dc4b9)
mine is also freezing at the live android wallpaper. the md5sum follows:
979b3ee7756785f9b250febbdaceb7bf liveandroidv0.2.iso c2a1c445783f8749851da9487129ca12 liveandroidv0.2.iso.001 991a8a8dc2a4c80d5a418e2fd53fc805 liveandroidv0.2.iso.002
would have been great if the download page also contains a checksum for verification.
i mean for the parts. the readme only has it for the combined iso and i don't know which part has gone bad. :(
Official: liveandroidv0.2.iso MD5: 03852bce8cb26aba21d147153c1fb120
liveandroid v0.2, MS Windows 2003, VirtualPC on my thinkpad, freezes at loading :(
Only a pic...It not works... PS:ThinkPad? X200
Only a pic...It not works... PS:ThinkPad?? T400
Live Android v0.2 running on Virtual Box 2.2.2 on Dell Optiplex 755. Video Card is a ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro.
Freezes at Splash Screen
Can't download the 0.2 version files. The download stops halfway.
Any http mirrors that really work?
Running Android 0.2 in VirtualBox? under XPSP2, running smoothly @ Lenovo Thinkcentre 8808, no network...
It works on Virtual PC, but freezes on my netbook. Files join done it with HJSPLIT and with the solutin from mlipocky: dos command: > copy /B file.001.iso + file.002.iso file.iso
Same result = When booting from the netbook, it FREEZES
Yo ayudare creando un buen logo!...
V0.2 LiveCD runs great in Virtual PC 2007 SP1 under Vista Ultimate 64bit. VM allocated 256MB RAM.
Sobre Windows XP Pro 32bit con VirtualBox? se queda pegado en la pantalla con el logo de Android, PC Core 2 Duo 2.2MHZ con 3GB de RAM.
Use el HJSplit para crear ISO lo carge en el VirtualBox? y corrió enseguida
Con Win XP Pro SP3 32 bit con Virtual box se queda pegado en una pantalla negra con el logo de android, tengo un Intel Core 2 Dou de 1.8, 2GB de RAM
It's running in VMware Fusion on a Mac. thank you!
Interesting! thanks for porting it for those that wanna try it put! Using it on Dell Dimension E520 via VMWare Workstation. Runs smoothly just have trouble returning to main screen with mouse gestures.
Freezes on Lenovo S10 XP Pro Freezes on AMD 64FX XP Pro
Works without any problem in virutalbox in Ubuntu 9.04
Nice! Got it running with no issues on VMWare Fusion (Mac OS X on a MacBook? Pro). Used as guest OS 'Linux', then 'Other Linux 2.2.x kernel'.
Works great on the latest VirtualBox? on my HP Pavillion! THANKS!
works perfectly on my PC p4 2.4Ghz 1.25GB RAM 128MB Nvidia 5200 graphic card I used Virtual BOX
Freeze on the splash screen on my Acer Aspire One A150.
I have it running in my VirtualBox? under gentoo/x86_64, but how do I install it to my HD so I have write access to test developed apps?
Well, I am quiet happy with it running on Sun Virtual Box 3.0.2 and plan on trying it out on a CD tomorrow.
Just like Petter, I really want to be able to get this to mount some hard drive space. Also, I found that the ESC key is like the Go Back arrow, but what keys are used for the Menu & the Home buttons?
It would also be very cool if the camera feature actually activated webcam attached to the computer, it states that it needs a SD card to start the webcam.
I will see if I can find more docs on this. So far for a 0.2 version, nice work guys! Thank you for sharing! Tom
Ok, could not wait. It did boot fine off of the Live-CD, however it did not recognize the USB mouse or built in touch pad of my Sony VAIO CR190 laptop. I was able to use the keyboard just fine which allowed me to use the ESC key, and also to reset the system with Alt-Ctrl-Del.
For now until those issues are resolved I'll stick to a virtual machine box within my Windows Vista using Sun Virtual Box.
Freezes at the splash screen after a too quick load text screen on two very standard Intel based PCs. live android v 0.2
I'm freezing at the splash screen as well on the new LiveUSB 0.2 on a Dell Latitude X300 with Sandisk Cruzer Micro.
how i write .iso file in a usb stick?
Live Android 0.2 LiveCD works fine on Lenovo 3000 N100, no sound, lags when prompts appear (dim effect?) however reception and transfer icons say 4 bars.
Other than that, works good. System is Intel Centrino Duo @ 1.6Ghz, 1GB RAM
Tried running liveandroid v0.2 on Acer Aspire 3003LCI Netbook, freezes on GUI screen. Mobile AMD Semprom 3000+.
Freezes at Live Android screen, booting from USB on an Eee PC 900 (Celeron)
If you encounter problems to use iso in this project, you should try this:
http://code.google.com/p/android-x86/wiki/ReleaseNote_0_9
Not only contains a live iso and live usb, it also has a complete source tree and detailed instructions so that you can build your customized iso easily. With hardware auto-detection, it works on most x86 platforms.
Used cat on Linux system to create Live USB v0.2 .iso file. Used Unetbootin on Linux to write .iso file to 8GB USB 2.0 thumb drive.
Booted thumb drive on MSI WIND U100 netbook and experienced the same results as many others above have posted.
The Live Android splash screen is displayed and the system just hangs.
Ran on a homebuilt Intel Atom based system. No refresh rate/sync trouble with the touchscreen that was giving Minbuntu, Moblin, and Minbuntu issues.
I am trying to use it in QEMU .....
what are the controls to access different options in it ???

Freezes on 'Live Android' screen when booting on Samsung NC10.
Same here, freezes on the splash screen when booting on Samsung NC10 and Advent 4213. Checked MD5 checksum to make sure no problems creating the USB. Tried several different SD cards. All the same problem.
Also tried on Sun VirtualBox? 3.0.4 r50677 - tried various settings for the Linux type, memory size, hardware acceleration, nothing works. Same as on the Netbooks it freezes at the splash screen.
I like Android, when an install version? I'll wish intall it on my Laptop. I probe v.03 in VMware at 1280x768 run slow, but is working ok. I have internet conection... It's good!!!
Hi 609macros, Try Android-x86 project. It's much better than live-android. It can be installed to harddisk. See http://www.android-x86.org/documents/installhowto Besides, very nice screenshots in their websites.
I tried on my desktop, there was no problem except the %15 battery message
i'll take my shoot
same here for the samsung devices: Booting on a Q1 freezes after splash screen.
frischmilch: You may try android-x86 project which has much better compatibility. See http://www.android-x86.org or https://sites.google.com/a/android-x86.org/web/home
Runs under Hyper-v, Server 2008 R2. No eth0 though =(. Froze once, after switching to Flight Mode, but only once.
hope have a version working with all x86 cpu which have ssse3
same here. acutally on 3 of my comps if freezes at "liveandroid" splash. :( acer 751, dell gx240 and hp tx2. nothing. sniff sniff. any ideas??
junk.
Someone did call it a toy and they were honest! We all know where toys end up...Hey, it's 36 degrees celcius outside and the android has frozen again...shame ,shame,shame!
After 15 minutes, in Virtualbox running on Dell 9200 running Windows 7 (RTM MSDN licence), the Android v0.3 splash screen is still running on 1st boot. Virtual box performance = Cpu = 2 to 3%, Private Memory 35.3MB, I/O bytes 8 to 9 MB second. No other process running in Virtualbox.
Will leave for up to an hour while I eat, then it has to go if not loaded.
Please try Android-x86 1.6, http://www.android-x86.org/, much better compatibility.
Got it running on a Pentium II. But no installer, and no ethernet. Please, at least ethernet!!!!. An installer would be soooo cool. Low budget computing for third world yay.
Has anyone tried this on the acer d250? apparently a version of it comes with Android as a second OS... I want to install it as a second boot option but I cant seem to find much info on the acer version.
Working great in VMWare fusion on Macbook 2.4 core duo. Used liveandroidv0.3.
Typing this in it just now :-)
Used Other linux 2.6.x kernel and 256MB memory/ 8GB Disk (last two are defaults)
does not even start on Mini 10v, but still monkeying with it.
when use USB or CD booting on sony vaio z56 the screen is also freeze
I am using LG Xnote R410. Booting Live Android from USB. Booting is successful but the "LIVE@ANDROID" screen/wallpaper freezes and does not proceed further.
Used Untebootin to boot from USB but it freezes at logo screen. Then tried in Windows Virtual PC (Windows 7) and it worked just fine (256mb VM). By the way what android version are using the new netbooks selling with android. Can we get that version?
So, this doesn't work? Why all the notes about freezing at the logo screen? I want to test, but doesn't sound like this is functional.
Very functional, people need to be familiar with linux
Freeze with android logo
Just installed v0.3 on Compaq 8430, all devices usable including CAC reader. Seems very limited though, too much like my cellphone. I am running in VMWare, used Ubuntu choice.
To stop freezing, add more base memory to the system and it will work.
Any updates coming for this? We're up to 2.2 (Froyo) now and this is still 1.5
Seems pretty cool, I'd just like to have an update. Thanks for the effort! Works fine in VMWare for me
how can i get wifi to work on this?
¿I can download android on my LG GT360?
I have a Dell Optiplex SX280 (Service Tag: F8DBM1J), can i run Android on it, and will it be the same Android as the ones released on soon-to-arrive cell phones? Thx
Tried at VMWare Workstation, works great.
I am very interested in Android for Desktop PC.
Ofen you just want to look up quick information on the Internet, without waiting for Windows to load etc..
So basically, I am looking for Android as an Instant on PC to access the web....
Wish me luck!
Does the USB version of 0.2 work on an HP Pavilion dm3-1047cl?
