Android-x86 is an open-source project that looks to port the Android mobile operating system to run on other devices powered by the Intel x86 and AMD processors. The project started in 2009 as different patches to the Android source code, enabling Android to run on tablets and netbooks. Since then, the project has evolved to create its own code base, providing support to different x86 platforms.
