I agree, this is the first Android version that works almost flawlessly on a Core M device.

I have installed Android on a separated ext4 partition and made a Grub entry to boot it. The Grub entry is as follows:

 

menuentry ‘Android’ –class android {

set root='(hd0,5)’
linux /android-6.0-rc2/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64 SRC=/android-6.0-rc2 SDCARD=mmcblk0p1
initrd /android-6.0-rc2/initrd.img

}

My Android system mounts USB drives but it doesn’t mount the MicroSD card, that’s the reason for the SDCARD=mmcblk0p1 workaround.

Rotation is inverted, I’m using the “Ultimate Rotation Control” app from the PlayStore.

Touch could be improved, in my system I feel that I have to touch harder than usual to get a response but swiping works fine, I have the feeling that the touchscreen gets in a battery saving state too soon.

Since the power menu has only the “Power off” option I’m using the “Screen off” app from the PlayStore to put the device to sleep.

The CPU cores seem to run at high frequencies all the time but the device doesn’t get too hot.

Looking forward to future Android-x86 releases, but at this point I almost feel that I have a dual boot device. By the way, the Antutu score is around 136000.

Mirek, I also would love to use your ROM on the X16 Power.

Francois-Xavier, can you confirm that X98 Pro’s TWRP works on the X16? How did you boot to recovery? Tell us if you managed to install Mirek’s ROM.

Alberto96, thank you for creating the XDA forum. See you there!

Hello Adrian,
I’m still waiting for my X16 Power to arrive. I’ve been browsing this forum trying to gather information and be ready for it.
I think I have read that somebody had the same issues about the gps.

Hi Chris, thank you for posting your rooting method, I’ll try it when I receive my X16 Power.
The .exe you have posted, have you compiled it yourself or is it the same file used to root the x98 Pro?
I’ve been browsing the X98 forum and I see they even have a working TWRP recovery. Do you think it will be compatible with the X16?
