14 DAY TRIAL // Arne Exton had the pleasure of informing Softpedia about its brand-new Android-based Live CD operating system that allows anyone to run the latest Android 5.0.2 “Lollipop” mobile operating system on desktop or laptop computers. The distribution uses Arne’s special Linux kernel 3.10.58-exton-android-x86+, which includes support for the NTFS file system, as well as some extra drivers.
While the well-known Android x86 project already offers a live operating system based on Google’s Android mobile operating system, which is used on all sorts of mobile devices worldwide, the AndEX project brings the game of running Android on PCs to a new level, as it uses the recent Android 5.0.2 Lollipop OS instead of the old 4.4 Kit Kat one.
“Lollipop 5.0.2 is the latest version of the Android mobile operating system developed by Google. I call my remaster of it AndEX Lollipop Live CD. It uses my special kernel 3.10.58-exton-android-x86+ with some extra features. I.e. extra drivers and NTFS read/write support. You can download the ISO file for free.” says Arne Exton.
This Android x86 Live CD is available for download for free
AndEX includes all Android’s standard applications (Google Chrome, Google Maps, Google Calendar, etc.), and some extra tools designed to offer you a unique experience. For example, it is extremely easy to install new applications by using the pre-installed Aptoide App Store utility. Two different launchers are also provided in this new iteration of the Android x86 project.
Of course, you can download the AndEX (Android) x86 Lollipop Live CD right now from Softpedia, for free. Please note that the distribution will only run on selected hardware, such as fairly new or modern desktop/laptop computers. It doesn’t play well with virtualization software, such as Oracle VirtualBox. The operating system can be used from either a CD or USB media.
