Version 9r2 works acceptably, though not perfectly fluidly on a VM.

Nevertherless, for some reason the processors assigned to it are on high drive permanently, even on idle. There has to be something wrong there. The Android system managed to work on an old quad-core 1.2GHz phone with 1GB RAM, with the processors mostly down unless an app was opening or closing, or doing processing like the camera app does. How come on a PC with more RAM and more powerful processors it works less fluidly and requires the cores to be running full speed all the time?

The system works, and you can install and open apps fairly OK, but it is not something you can leave on stand by, like essentially any other VM. Power it up, use it, power it down and you will be fine.

Is AndroidX86 supposed to be a lean system?

I tried it on a virtual machine, and it runs slow as molasses.

With similar resources I can smoothly run an XFCE Linux distro, if not something a bit heavier.

Bear in mind that x86 is running natively on an x86_64 processor, so it should function normally, as there is no QUEMU layer in the middle. Note that I would not be surprised by the slow performance had I been emulating and ARM cpu and running Android (for ARM) on top of that.



I would have to try it on bare metal, but so far, it doesn't bode well.
