This is a tutorial to try Android as a Live option. To install Android on your EEE PC or netbook – How to Install Android OS on EEE PC

Android is a free operating system for mobile phones developed by Google. I’ve always been a huge fan of it; most probably my next phone is going to be an Android. It is mostly run on smartphons powered by ARM chips, though it is being ported to various platforms and architectures, including X86.

LiveAndroid is a Live CD for Android running on X86 platforms. You can use it to run Android directly on your PC.

To Install Android on your PC,

liveandroidJust download LiveAndroid

Live Android – Part 1
Live Android – Part 2

After downloading these files, just join them using HJSplit.

You can also download it via the LiveAndroid torrent.

Next, burn the ISO (disk image) to a CD using any CD burning application like Nero, Magic ISO, Power ISO etc.

You can also use W32DiskImager to copy the image to a USB drive.

After this step, just reboot your computer and boot from the CD or USB drive. You should be greeted by the LiveAndroid startup screen.

Alternatively, you can also load the ISO in any virtualization application like Microsoft Virtual PC or Virtual Box.

    The hosting servers suck big time & the Chinese who’s distributing this is also weird. There were 3 60MB files initially, after several re-downloads I was able to get 2 parts, by the time I started the third, he updated it & now there are 2 90MB files which again aren’t downloading. :| the second ones always stops at 84.9MB. #FAIL!

    Nice tut. I love this blog.

  3. jomom Says:

    idiot, that’s not an install. fukyu for wasting my time.

  4. Jamie Trenchard Says:

    Thanks. I kind of agree with jomom apart from all the profanities.
    Is there like a way to install it as a conventional operating system, or am I talking out of my rear end?

  5. Pathik Says:

    Nope. AFAIK there is no other way except this to try out Android on your PC.

  6. Jamie Trenchard Says:

    I had a sudden idea;
    If I could mount my hard-drives, I could copy the root filesystem of android.

    So, I booted it in virtualbox, and attempted to mount up the hard-drives, but it seems that liveandroid is truly live, it doesn’t have any ATA controller drivers compiled in!
    Damn. I’ll have to try and compile my own Android, it seems to be the only way.

  7. The Timinator Says:

    @Jamie Trenchard
    Let me know how that goes. I would like a copy if your giving it out…

  8. techmostwanted Says:

    is there any special requirements on the hardware prior to installing this?

  9. George Says:

    Why is there a separate how to for PC/Laptops and Netbooks?

  10. Pathik Says:

    This tutorial is only for using Android directly from the USB stick, not to install it.

    The other tutorial on the top is to install it on your EEE PC/netbook.

  11. Sanket Says:

    This post should be “How to running Android Live from USB”. Thank you for wasting our time.

  12. Apagador Says:

    This article is a fraud, though truth be said, so are a lot of other articles claiming to teach the same stuff.

    This has NOTHING to do with installing android. It is just booting a live CD. That’s it.

    I read something similar to this post at google news… I was interested and began searching around, and then landed here… anyway, I think that I agree with what you cover here. But I’m going to go check what additional information I can find too.

  17. Jim Isbell Says:

    This is far too difficult to decipher. I have been 45 years in programming and can not figure it out. I downloaded the torrent file then tried to run it and was told that “Cannot add duplicate torrent file” This needs to be make to run without massive knowledge of the intricacies of Linux.

    I will use another website for now.

  18. Wazza Says:

    Interesting. I will try this.

  19. türbanlı sikiş izle Says:

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

  23. Darrell Says:

    This is my first comment but I feel like I should have been making loads of comments now because I always like your stuff. Maybe comments are for more hit and miss blogs than your own. When you maintain a consistent level of high quality output I reckon people are less inclined to comment because they have come to expect it from you. Just a theory.

  27. Zayıflama Lida Fx15 Ve Biber Hapı Zlfvbh Says:

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  28. Julianne Rayburn Says:

    That is really exceptionally beneficial for what I’m search at now, thank you a bunch.

  38. DroidHAX Says:

    Using this method to try out Android is unneccessary. Why not just install the Android SDK and run the built-in emulator?
    Then you have your choice of different devices, Android versions, and a whole slew of configuration options.
    Just google ‘install Android sdk’

    यह android os हैं पर किसी काम का नहीं हैं,यह pc में install नहीं होता हैं यह xp या दूसरे os की तरह कार्य नहीं करता।cd disc से ही boot करता और चलता हैं।ये मात्र 175 mb का iso file हैं आप खुद ही सोचे की 175 mb size का सिर्फ windows 7 का theme होता हैं।इन सब में अपना कीमती समय न बर्बाद न करें……विश्वास करें यह किसी काम का नहीं हैं।
