Title: Android-x86 6.0 Is Here If You Want to Run Android 6.0 Marshmallow on Your PC
Post by: Blizzardnh on September 16, 2016, 11:10:22 am
Today, September 13, 2016, Android-x86 developer Chih-Wei Huang was happy to announce the general availability of the final release of the Android-x86 6.0 operating system for personal computers.

Android-x86 6.0 has been in the works since early this year, and it received a total of two RC (Release Candidate) builds during its entire development cycle, one in June and another in August. After joining the Remix OS team, Chih-Wei Huang now has all the reasons to update and improve its Android-x86 system for the latest Android releases.

Therefore, as you might have guessed already, Android-x86 6.0 is the first stable version of the project to be based on Google's Linux kernel-based Android 6.0 Marshmallow mobile operating system and includes the most recent AOSP (Android Open Source Project) security updates too.

"This is the first stable release of Android-x86 6.0 (marshmallow-x86)," reads today's announcement. "The 6.0-r1 release is based on the the Android Marshmallow-MR2 release (6.0.1_r66) with latest AOSP security updates. We created universal images for most x86 platforms."
