The Android-x86 project develops and distributes a port of the Android operating system for 32-bit and 64-bit x86 processors. This allows users to run the Android operating system on consumer desktop and laptop computers. The Android-x86 project has announced a new release in the Android-x86 4.4 series. The new version, Android-x86 4.4-r4, is likely to be the last in the 4.4 series. "The Android-x86 4.4-r4 is based on the 4.4-r3 release. It mainly addresses the hazy fonts issue of Mesa 10.5.9 found in some GPUs. Besides, the EFI ISO support is back-ported to this release. That means the ISO is bootable from a UEFI device. Therefore we only provide one ISO file in this release. The kernel is updated to 4.0.9 with patches to support more peripherals like MS Surface series. The obsolete 2GB limitation of data.img (created when installed to NTFS or VFAT) is also removed. Note VFAT still suffers from the 4GB limitation of the file system."
