Install android kitkat x86 in virtualbox windows or linux ubuntu

After I made a post about how to install a dual boot android kitkat x86 and windows  if there is still the possibility of confusion between choosing a partition or grub settings to boot android entry or, for that I give one other alternative to install android x86 kitkat with virtualbox, I think install android PC / laptop with a virtual box more better because it's easier and does not create a new partition on the hard drive.

By install android kitkat x86 in virtualbox can be done in windows operating system like windows xp, windows 7 and windows 8 as well as linux ubuntu as long as the operating system already installed virtualbox.

The tips below I did install it on Linux ubuntu virtualbox for virtualbox in windows but also I think the same way as below.

And for those want to directly install a dual boot android x86 kitkat with windows or ubuntu can see here.

For using ubuntu after install android on it then can be added grub android setting open the terminal typing "sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg" without quotes and place it at the very bottom.

Android kitkat latest version of the android operating system with new features and we can use on virtualbox, with virtualbox the installation and use easier way, even if the internet will be directly connected to the internet if internet PC is connected, for that I suggest instead we install android on virtualbox is better  than dual boot, with virtualbox android kitkat then can we enlarge the view of the virtualbox, view by clicking the tabs at the top left virtulabox and click full screen.

Here's how to install android x86 kitkat in virtualbox windows or linux ubuntu :


1. Download virtualbox here or here, after the download and install on your PC / laptop.

2. Download Android 4.4 x86 kitkat here.

3. Open virtualbox and then click the New button on the left above under the menu file. All pictures in here is from my second blog.

5. Then click next after a new window will come out and determine the capacity for memory or RAM on your PC or laptop if it has 1GB ram I suggest to fill it with 128/256mb and if 2gb I suggest to fill it with 256/512mb.

6. Next and new menu will appear to create a new virtual disk, select create new disk and click next.
  • make virtual harddrive virtualbox
  • Chooce VDI (Virtualbox Disk Image)
    virtualbox hardisk VDI

  • Chooce Dynamically allocated
  • Once finished creating the virtual disk and then click next and fill the hard drive capacity will be created, i suggest you to create 2GB.
  • After the contents of the virtual disk fill with capacity then click the next button and then click the create button and the process bar will look like in the picture below if appear

7. See file machine android in the left as shown below.
8. To install android click settings button as shown in picture No. 7 and a new window will appear then select the storage, see the arrow and click a button to open a file choose disk where the android x86 ISO kitkat stored and select the file.

9. After the ide Controller filled with the android x86 kitkat iso file that was downloaded click the Ok button at the bottom, and click the start button.

The steps is still long so I recommend to look directly at the video below


Video above shows how to install android x86 in virtualbox kitkat so with the video would be easier we will do the installation. So every step will be obvious and may be less than the error read on :), as you may well know the use of language and grammar or spelling looks a mess.

How to know ubuntu version and kernel installed command line

As has been mentioned on the official ubuntu website that in order to know the version of ubuntu Linux used in computer or laptop can be done in two ways, we can use detail in system setting or terminal by typing the command text and will be available there appearance ubuntu version installed.

Its essence if we are going to install an application on the terminal with don't know ubuntu version this Will be problem and then we searching an application in search engine like google, once we know if the application is there and it's just a coincidence version of the application can be used for example ubuntu 12, now from here maybe we start to think if we forget our Linux version because it can be different versions of ubuntu for example there will be different apps version on ubuntu 12.04 and ubuntu  12.10 .

So we pre- download apps that we use is useful to know the version of ubuntu Linux so that we use when install the application does not encounter an error or failure, because the version of the software that we use in different versions of ubuntu it normally would not be able to do will fail in the installation.

Linux operating system is an operating system that can be used for a variety of technology and so easy if we've learned a little about it. Even if we know that the linux operating system can change in a variety of other operating systems are different. Even android is basically an operating system derived from Linux. For that in contemporary times and we should be able to understand with Linux. In addition to the free license or a Open GPL can we update in accordance with what we want.

I hope in this tip can help to determine the version of ubuntu and the kernel. That way we can instantly locate the application or software in accordance with the ubuntu version used. Is it important? Yes of course be important because as I was said in the beginning that if we are going to install an application the application in question must be in accordance with the ubuntu version.

Here are two easy ways to determine the version of ubuntu and linux kernel we use is sourced from ( help.ubuntu.com ) :


1 . The first way is by clicking on the button settings can search in the upper right near the shutdown button or can we find on search applications by typing the word "System setting " without the quotes .

check ubuntu version installed

2. The second way is to use the terminal command line:

- Open a terminal that is in the application options by click CTRL + Alt + T on your keyboard
- Typing "sudo su" (without the quotes) and enter the password, it will run an application without sudo text while will open an application
- To find out what version of ubuntu in the terminal typing "lsb_release-a" (without the quotes) and "enter" the keyboard it will exit the output of ubuntu version used as in the picture below.
ubuntu installed version on terminal

3. How to know the version of the kernel used in Ubuntu is by typing "uname-r" or "uname-a" in terminal ubuntu.
ubuntu kernel version

If there are mistakes please forgive and hopefully useful and increase knowledge for me and also for the reader.

How to install linux ubuntu 12.04 lts with the pictures

How to install ubuntu 12.04 lts precise and I think any kind of way to install ubuntu also almost the same as how to install ubuntu 8, ubuntu 9,ubuntu 10, ubuntu 11, ubuntu 13 and although there are slight differences that may be found .

Linux is a free open source software , which means it can be used and updated for free, a lot of the linux operating system that we can use like a fedora, red hat,puppy , and etc. But here I will just give you a little tutorial how to install linux ubuntu 12.04, ubuntu linux is an alternative operating system windows, because the windows are not free, for it as an alternative we can use ubuntu linux that can downloaded for free and use other software also almost free, in addition to using linux then we do not need to worry with the virus because no virus on linux, it's like ubuntu said on the official site.

How to install linux ubuntu 12.04 lts precise pangolin with images :

1. Make sure the disk partition that Ubuntu is available for approximately 6 GB for ubuntu itself is actually about 4.3 GB and for the swap partition is 1024 MB or 1GB .

2. Download ubuntu 12:04 LTS precise for free here or select the appropriate processor like intel or amd used here .

3. There are several options how to install ubuntu is as follows :

  • Install using CD/DVD, backup ubuntu iso file that was downloaded with the software your choice such as nero, MagicISO etc,
  • Install using a USB flash disk using Unetbootin. 
  • Install with no CD without flashdik just use the installer on the internal hard drive of direct ubuntu iso file, but there must be a grub boot on your booting computer.

- For windows users install grub2win first.
- Extract Grub2win in Drive C:, after grub2win extracted you will find the grub2win.exe, double click to install it and you will find grub.cfg
- Enter the following settings in grub.cfg at the bottom of the texts available in grub2 folder .



menuentry " Ubuntu 12:04 ISO " {
set isofile = " / home / / Downloads/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso "
# Or set isofile = " / / Downloads/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso "
# If you use a single partition for your $ HOME
loopback loop ( hd0 , 5 ) $ isofile
linux ( loop ) / casper / vmlinuz boot = casper noprompt iso-scan/filename = $ isofile noeject
initrd ( loop ) / casper / initrd.lz
}



Or could look the source in help.ubuntu.com.

4 . Once determine that we are to install ubuntu boot to ubuntu installer and follow the steps, after first boot press space on keyboard to select the language.
install ubuntu 12-04 on computer or laptop

5. Select the "Install Ubuntu" text then select the language that will be used and wait until the loading display appears.
6. After loading passed then the next will be brought to the stage of selecting the language that will be used to install the ubuntu.
install ubuntu select language

7. Click the Continue button to proceed and will be brought to the stage for the beginning of the installation is selecting application / third-party software, click Continue to proceed.
continue installation ubuntu

8. After further we see there are two options, namely erase the disk and something else, select "something else" choice to start setting up the hard drive manually.

9. For the hard drive is still new we can make a new partition there by clicking the "New Partition Table" and the button "Add" to start creating new partitions and hard drives with setting self-determined choice but to install ubuntu partition to be available is 4.3 GB, and format with EXT4 partition type can be seen in the image below.
select harddisk setting install ubuntu

10. If you've made ​​a partition for ubuntu next we create one partition for swap partitions by clicking the "Add" button, swap partition is a virtual memory to make do with the RAM and hard drive capacity used on a laptop or computer so if:

  • RAM 512 MB and hard drive capacity is 30GB, then the swap partition is 512MB
  • RAM 512 MB and hard drive 100GB then the swap partition is 1024MB = 1GB
  • RAM 2 GB and hard drive 30GB then the swap partition is 1024MB or 1GB
  • RAM 2 GB and hard drive 100GB then swap partition is 2048MB or 2GB. And can be seen the sources in help.ubuntu.com.

make swap partition on ubuntu

11. The next setting place the boot loader that will and we can set example grub2 will be installed directly on the hard disk/dev/sda or on the first partition is /dev/sda1.
set bootloader grub2 ubuntu installation

12. Click the "Install Now" and wait a while till the process is completed and the next step is setting the location where we are.
ubuntu installation location choice

13. After clicking the continue button then the next step is the selection of the type of keyboard that will be used, select a standard keyboard commonly used is the "English U.S." and click Continue.
ubuntu standar keyboard

14. And I think this is the last part of which was to determine the username and password that will be used later during the entry, and I suggest to choose automatic login.
username password instalation ubuntu

15. After all we fill the username and password and click continue then wait for it to finish and if the installation is finished then restart button will appear and restart the computer, for using the cd/dvd after restart button wait a few minutes and click enter to open the cd/dvd rom opens by itself.
installation linux ubuntu

Android x86 jelly bean 4.3 install in virtual box on windows os

For those who always want the latest update ie android x86 here the android 4.3 jellybean x86  has been released and can be used after the previous android 4.2.2 x86 jellybean have to posted a few months ago and although android 4.4 kitkat released but android x86 no news yet about it.

With ​​there are some changes that have been updated and most of this time has been updated too with the support arm translator, which means we can run almost all android apps in google play store,  different with android previous ones is android x86 jellybean 4.2 that not support.

Before we try to install directly to the hard drive perhaps we could try to install android x86 in virtualbox so that we will know what the pros and cons of this android jellybean 4.3 x86. And if it is as expected and works well as the android phones are used. That way we can evaluate for themselves of the advantages and disadvantages of android x86 that we will install, because maybe there will be people who want to dual boot between android and windows that are installed together on PC/Laptop.

And here are some things that have been updated and corrected from the Android x86 source:


- Support ARM translator
- Support bluetooth
- Upgrade 3.10.2 kernel so that it becomes more driver support
- Upgrade Mesa OpenGL ES library to 9.2 devel for support amd radeon acceleration  and intel chipset.
- Also Not able to suspend and resume
- No support superuser.

There are several ways to install android version of this computer or android x86  jellybean 4.3, and I give it two ways.

1. How to install x86 android 4.3 jelly bean on a PC, or laptop computer can see linked below

dual boot android and windows.
The first way above could be see on steps in the link above and the grub setting install grub2win for android-x86 you can see the method in link dual boot android and windows above and add android x86 jellybean 4.3 grub manually below:

# android #
menuentry "Android-4.3-test"{
set root='(hd0,X)'
linux /android-4.3-test/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86 video=-16 SRC=/android-4.3-test
initrd /android-4.3-test/initrd.img
}
### End Android ###

note: change the red text with  partition installed on android from your computer example if android on partition or drive D: then replace with (hd0,2) sometimes Drive D: = (hd0,3).

2. The second way to install android-x86 is in a virtual box

Also this steps can be use on Linux ubuntu virtualbox.
  • Download virtualbox windows version if it will install a virtual box in windows here because there are several other options such as Linux and MAC OS X.
  • Download jellybean X86 Android 4.3 iso android-x86-4.3-20130725.iso code@google or Android X86 .org 
  • After downloading the next step is to install virtual box on computer and start preparations to install android in virtual box.
  • Virtualbox installation on ubuntu linux or in windows like windows xp, windows 7 and windows 8 are method.
  • Open Virtual box  already installed on your PC or laptop and then click the new button to create a new virtual Android x86.
  •  
This images from my second blog.
android -x86 4.3 jellybean virtualbox

  • Then a new window will be seen and click next, fill the name in accordance with your current in the box provided, switch to the Linux operating system and switch to linux 2.6 version can be seen for example in the image below and click next.
android-x86 setting on virtualbox

  • The new window will be see to set memory capacity that will be used in a virtual box for android x86, if your computer has 1GB of RAM or memory then use the virtual box in 256mb or 512mb.
setting memory ram on virtualbox

  • Click next for another setting for the virtual hard disk, Create new hard disk and select the VDI and then select Fixed size and click next.
create new hardisk on virtualbox
vdi virtualbox
fixed harddrive virtualbox

  • Click next to set capacity to use, I use only 2GB.
hardisk partition for android x86 on virtualbox

  • Click next and click create and wait until bar process is to create a virtual hard disk finish as in the example picture below.
creating harddrive virtualbox
android x86 on virtualbox ready to install

  • Next click on the settings button to the storage arrangements to enter iso file into a virtual box that you created.
