It’s official! Google and Intel will work together on making a version of Android for x86 users. This is because Intel is looking forward to having a stake of the mobile market also while Google is looking towards the PC. This of course warrants a wankfest for all geeks out there. But since they are not there yet, we will have to make do with third party applications that make the PC and Android work seamlessly.

1.Blue Stacks

First of all, this is a Windows 7 Widget that looks like a Android home-screen, called BlueStacks. I have tried it and it looks great. It allows users to play some Android games and use apps pre-loaded or download an additional 26 apps from BlueStacks app store, where they have to register via a Facebook account.
The apps run in full-screen mode and on the bottom of the screen, it has the Android Menu, Back, Rotate and Zoom buttons. Though its a little odd playing on the Android platform from a keyboard and mouse, on a notebook with a multi-touch pad, the sensation is quite nice. Another cool feature of BlueStacks is the Cloud Connect, which let’s you send and receive apps between your phone and PC.

2. Live CD

This is a bit hard to explain in words. This is the link to the video here explaining how to do it

This for me is the best option and very easy for anyone to do it. The problem is that the android interface cannot run on fullscreen mode.

3. UNetbootin

Another way to do this, is to install a software on your computer, called UNetbootin, where you just have to browse your computer for the Android OS image file (you have to download a ISO image of Android OS separatly), select the USB Device/HDD/liveCD from the drop-down menu and click “OK”. UNetbootin makes your UCB/VD and all you have to do is boot it and enjoy Android OS.
After you finished making your bootable USB or live CD with either method, when you boot Android, you will see the welcome screen with the install or liveCD options. You have to select the task you want, test Android or Install it on your computer. If you chose to install Android on your computer, just follow these steps:

select the destination partition where you would like to install Android OS
select which format you would like the partition to have (if you chose to) from the list: ext3 – recomended, ext2, NTFS or fat32
you will be asked to install GRUB bootloader, which can also be used to boot another installed operating system. Hit “Yes”
wait a few second for installer to finish, hit “OK” when installer has finished

I have not tested this method but am sure it will work just fine
I am sure this will help all those tech lovers out there
