NEWS 150916: Build 150914 has been replaced by Build 150916
Build 150916 is totally error-free. Everything just works!

NEWS 150916 AndEX Lollipop 5.1.1 with kernel 4.0.8 and GAPPS
My new build of Android-x86 Lollipop 5.1.1 has GAPPS pre-installed. I.e. Google Play Services, Google Play Store, Maps, YouTube and more apps. For example: Facebook and OfficeSuite 8. The ISO is called android-x86-5.1.1-lollipop-kernel-4.0.8-exton-GAPPS-571mb-150916.iso. AndEX 150916 is totally error-free. For installing new apps you shall always use Google Play Store in AndEX build 150916. Only use Aptoide App Manager (which is also pre-installed) if you cant find the app you are searching for in Google Play Store.

UPGRADE/UPDATES
This build of AndEX (150916) replaces Build 150611. No need to upgrade if you already have a working version of build 150611 installed. All installed apps (GAPPS and others) will then be in the same version as in build 150916 of AndEX. I.e. if you install Andriod-x86 to hard drive or to a USB stick with persistence all installed apps will be automatically updated/upgraded via Google Play Store. The system will check for updates all the time or after a reboot. It works in the same way as on your Android phone.

WHATS THE POINT?
Well, if you like your Android phone and all the apps you have installed on it Im sure you will also like to run apps from your laptop. Bigger screen and better sound etc. Also: In AndEX version 150914 almost all apps and games can be installed via Google Play Store. Still not convinced? Then read my article about How useful an Androx-x86 system can be for the average computer user.
