This installation medium is severely incomplete and may have bugs, not function properly or may be tampered with spyware, etc. (after all, this was botched together out of 2 Android x86 TV projects) I am not responsible for your accounts and your data being lost or hacked - do this at your own risk.

Installation instructions

1. Download the .img file
2. Using GNOME Disks (any other tool that can read .img files might also work), flash the .img restore file to a USB drive
3. Rename initrd.img to initrd.img.new
4. Rename initrd.img.stock to initrd.img (these files will be important later!)
5. Reboot and select auto-install
6. Follow installation steps

Post-install instructions

You may have noticed it automatically reboots due to "FIRMWARE WAS BE EDITED", this is where we apply a fix with one of the earlier files.

6. Boot to a Linux LiveCD environment
7. Run lsblk to list available drives, hunt down your Android x86 TV installation
8. Create a mountpoint (sudo mkdir /mnt/android/)
9. Connect your 2nd partition of your drive to the mountpoint, after referring to lsblk (sudo mount /dev/sdx2 /mnt/android)
10. Using the file explorer as root/sudo, navigate to /mnt/android/
    There will be another folder inside, which contains initrd.img, we need to replace this file with initrd.img.new
    1. Delete the existing initrd.img from the mountpoint
    2. Drag in your initrd.img.new
    3. Rename it back to initrd.img
11. You may shut down and disconnect any USB drives
12. Start up your computer and continue with the Android x86 TV setup!
