Android x86 on Asus Eee PC 900

What for?

My aunt brought me a pink netbook, presented by her daughter, with the problem “everything slows down and does not work.” And I want to be able to climb on the Internet, watch movies and play simple toys. And so it happened that the netbook was equipped with a very slow SSD. And since the aunt has Android on the phone, it was decided to put it exactly - enough for the Internet.

Network

Wi-Fi works out of the box.

Russian keyboard layout

For the Russian keyboard layout we put the Russian Keyboard , in the keyboard settings we specify to use an external keyboard.

Applications

With applications that use NDK and naturally do not have bundled libraries for x86, everything is very sad.

But in most cases there are analogues

Final refinement

Included are a cloud of applications unnecessary to the end user (benchmarks, Dev Tools, etc. for debugging and development), as well as applications related to the telephone part, which was turned off. 2D graphics acceleration was turned on in the settings, auto-rotation of the screen was turned off (after opening the netbook lid, the screen was turned to portrait mode and back to landscape mode did not return).
