Android x64?!

[Stickboy]

I did not know where to post this question! I heard about Intel developing or optimizing Android 4.4.2 for x64. Is there any way that I could download the Intel Version of Android 4.4.2? Or would it be possible to get the code for it? I have been interested in Android x64 for quite some time! Thanks!!

Hi,

This is developed as open source at https://01.org/android-ia . You can find the releases here and instructions how to get the code here. 

From the FAQ:
Android* as released from Google*, runs on a Linux* kernel. The kernel used by Android on Intel Architecture is a 64-bit kernel Until Google releases the 64-bit version of Android, Android on Intel Architecture will run 32-bit Android on a 64-bit Linux kernel.

Hope this helps you!

Instead of installing it on the hard drive, would it be possible to run it directly from a flash drive? Also, if I have AMD instead of Intel (AMD x64)...Could I still use it on the device or must the device have Intel in it?

In general the forums from 01.org are a better place for this kind of questions: https://01.org/android-ia/community

I doubt that it will run on an AMD mainly because of the different graphics drivers required but also other drivers will be missing. But you should definitely check that on 01.org

Thanks,
