Android with Dell Venue 8 Pro 3845?

so far only "almost" out of the box was Android-x86 project.

simply write the ISO image to a usb device and boot from it.

remember to disable secure-boot of course.


I've tried android-x86_64-8.1-rc2.iso

http://www.android-x86.org/download


seems to be working:

wi-fi, auto-rotation, touch* (only when USB-OTG is connected in my case)


Debian

  • Live boot from USB-Stick ist slow but basically working
  • No WLAN


  • Display starts up in portait mode

How can I rotate my display in the most easy way? (Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail))

xrandr -o right
xrandr -q
xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate left
xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate normal
