Ever wanted to feel Android on your PC? There’s a (desktop) app for that.
Called Live Android, it’s an open-source project that allows anyone to boot Android on an x86-based machine. Initially this software was made to boot from a CD — hence the tagline was “A LiveCD for Android” — but now you can also use a flash drive to boot up Android on your PC. Heck, with a virtualization application like Virtual Box, you can do the trick even without a USB drive.
Live CD:
- Download these two files: liveandroidv0.2.iso.001 and liveandroidv0.2.iso.002.
- Use HJSplit to join them
- Check md5sum with this app:
liveandroidv0.2.iso MD5: 03852bce8cb26aba21d147153c1fb120
And you’re ready to burn your Android boot CD with an app like Nero or Magic ISO.
Live USB:
- Download these two files: liveandroidv0.2usb.iso.001 and liveandroidv0.2usb.iso.002.
- Use HJSplit to join them
- Check md5sum:
liveandroidv0.2usb.iso MD5: 15e39e524e15a407185ade97ba648df6
Now you can create a LiveUSB with an app like UNetbootin.
Note: All of the files mentioned above can be downloaded from here.
Good luck! 😉
