Tablets Is there a way to put Android on a Surface Pro 3?

[Michael Goff]

I was just wondering, thinking about how it would be nice to have all the tablet goodness of Android on the Surface Pro 3 powerhouse. I know that Blue Stacks exists, but that isn't running Android itself but the apps in a poor virtualized manner. I'm talking about the full x86 Android.

I've been looking to do that too. Looks like the closest thing to that is the Jide Remix.

That's ...not what I'm looking for.

I can't figure out how to get ahold of Remix OS, sadly. And I'm not likely to buy new hardware anytime soon,

Was the best bet, but it appears they did not hit stretch goals to support the SP3

I was thinking about that one, but I looked at the list of devices it supported and decided to look elsewhere. Was I wrong to do so?

I dunno TBH but I do know it's popular on the forums and pages I mod.

Disregard. Already mentioned.

There's also Console OS but currently it's not fully compatible with SP3. Just have to keep an eye on it for when they expand their device list.

And they don't support much on the SP2 or SP at that, so I wouldn't get my hopes up on the SP3 having all features working anytime soon.
