My first own Android device x3


Recommended Posts

Heya guys,

just updating you that I kind of joined the Android crowd :p

The device I run this on?

My EeePC 1000h! Haha.

Well, I'm too cheap to buy a dedicated device such as a tablet, but I quite like what I see for my otherwise useless netbook. (apart from work and tinkering that is)

Cheers!

I've been running Android x86 on-and-off for a few months on my eeePC901. And while it's much faster, the Web Browser loads everything as 'Mobile' and makes browsing completely useless. I was able to modify Arch Linux to run faster than Android x86 and use a LVM to have both SSDs available to me.

Try changing the User Agent to "Desktop" under Settings/Advanced/User Agent. That should load the regular website instead of the mobile version. :)

You'd thunk wouldn't you? Nope, a lot of sites are no-longer using the User-Agent information for detection and instead also checking the OS-Version. I could hack around it, but it's not worth it when Arch Linux provides 10-times more functionality and 10-times better performance.

Oh ok, didn't know that! :(

Well, so far I only got the live USB working, as somehow my GRUB does not want to pick it up. :s

I'm already dual-booting Elementary OS and Windows 8 on my netbook, so I wonder how to get Android play along (ICS by the way).

Oh and I only got it, because I adore tinkering! ^^
