    1.  Download ISO images from here which are named android-x86_64-6.0-r2.iso and cm-x86_64-13.0-r1.iso

     

    https://osdn.net/projects/android-x86/releases/65890

     

    2. Make USB flash memory bootable with that Image by using Rufus( https://rufus.akeo.ie/ )

    I used Rufus with this option below in the picture.

    3.  Edit grub.cfg file with (Wordpad/Notepad++) in [ USB drive/boot/grub/grub.cfg ]

    make sure add [ SRC= androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64 ]

    full code is here

    set timeout=30

    menuentry ‘Android-x86 6.0-r2 Live’ –class android-x86 {
    search –file –no-floppy –set=root /system.sfs
    linux /kernel root=/dev/ram0 quiet DATA= SRC= androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64
    initrd /initrd.img
    }

    search –file –no-floppy –set=root /system.sfs
    linux /kernel root=/dev/ram0 DATA= DEBUG=2 SRC= androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64
    initrd /initrd.img

    linux /kernel root=/dev/ram0 DEBUG= INSTALL=1 SRC= androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64
    initrd /initrd.img
    }

    menuentry ‘Windows’ {

    4. Boot X98 Pro to Windows

    5. Insert your USB with OTG and follow this instruction http://www.thewindowsclub.com/access-uefi-firmware-settings-windows-8-1

    bios5

    6. Go to UEFI firmware settings and touch [reboot].

    7. It will automatically boot to Android 6.0 or CM13 that you downloaded.

    8. Select boot option. ( I only tested Live mode that was on number 1 )

    ——————bug————–

    Touch screen inverted upside down.

    Wi-Fi not working

    I think that issue would go to the different way if you took number 3 (installation).

    but I don’t want to lose Windows 10. so I didn’t test it.

    Please test it and tell me how it works.

    Hi,

    wifi problem is strange, since the x98 pro chipset (RTL8723BS) appears to be on the supported modules of  android-x86

    source:

    https://sourceforge.net/p/android-x86/kernel/ci/android-x86-6.0-r2/tree/drivers/staging/

    for the inverted digitizer try to open /system/build.prop with any root explorer and try adding the following line:
    ro.sf.hwrotation=180
    Save it and be sure to check permission are set to rw-r–r–
    Reboot

    source: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/how-to-fix-inverted-upside-touchscreen-t2866130

    as soon as I have some time I will give it a try myself.

    BTW: thanks of the info provided
