AndEX For Linux

AndEX is a commercial, fast, powerful, and easy-to-use computer operating system built around an Android x86 system (Lollipop 5.1.1) and designed from the ground up to allow you to run/test the Android mobile operating system on a laptop or desktop computer.

The AndEX operating system is currently distributed as a Live CD ISO image that has approximately 588 MB in size and has been engineered to run on both 32 and 64-bit systems, despite the fact that it uses the x86 (32-bit) Android OS.

The Live DVD sports a regular boot prompt from where users will be able to start the operating system without installing it, run the live system in VESA (safe graphics) or debug modes, as well as to install the OS on the local disk drive.

Before accessing the Android system, users are asked to select a Home app immediately after the system boots. You will be able to choose between L Launcher or Trebuchet. That’s it, now you will be able to use the Android OS just like you would use it on a smartphone or tablet device. Google Play Store is the main application manager in AndEX, which also includes the GAPPS (Google Apps) package.

It appears to include all the stock Android applications, such as the Google Chrome web browser, Google Calendar, Google Maps, the stock Android web browser, as well as the Email, Clock, Calculator, Phone, Navigation, Music, Gallery, Messaging, and File Manager apps.

AndEX includes the Aptoide App Store that allows users to install more apps, and many other useful apps, including Advanced Facebook, Nature Live Wallpapers, Bulmedia Gallery, WeLine, YourMap, RSS Reader, WiFi Analyzer, Quickoffice, Speech Recorder, Terminal Emulator, and Like.

In conclusion, AndEX proves to be a good competitor for the Android x86 operating system, which is currently based on the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop mobile OS from Google. Unfortunately, it will only run on modern, powerful computers, as old hardware components are not currently supported.
