    I found that NOX emulator works good for me. I run it on my CF 52 to play solitaire.

    Getting official Android to run on an Intel x86 cpu is challenging to say the least. There is a Linux "Android" that works ok. Android x86 distro.

    Since it is a Linux distro, it will not harm any of your hardware.

    Problem with the Android OS like on your phone (not the Linux x86 distro)is that it is designed for Arm processors and not Intel processors. Missing lots of drivers and such.

    Downloading an ISO of Android x86 and running it is really the best / easiest path.
    You can make a bootable usb of it to test it out.
    The real Android (like on your phone) actually is made from linux.

    Good luck

    I have android tablets and ipads they suck in direct sunlight. I have a cf-31 and cf-c2 and both are great in direct sunlight. I just bought fz-l1 and if it had more power I could use that. I'm new at flying drones and I hear of the tablet losinh

    I really feel the Android x86 distro would work fine on your hardware.
    Other than that maybe look onto a Panasonic Android powered device.

    Panasonic Android tablets.

    Google has lots of posts about using that software in Windows or an emulator

    Late to the party but yes there is a x86 android project, it directly replaces your current OS for android on any compatible laptop. You will have to see what the port they have is made for and compare to your processor and WiFi cards to see if it will work. May want to get a spare disk to try out incase it won't work for you to avoid reloading 10 on your tablet.

    The above link is to some ports I have used before, but I haven't tried a port from them since Android 2.x versions so read up and look there.
