So I was drafting a blog post about an x86 tablet and was quickly going to mention running x86 versions of Android like Bliss as an option, but I can't seem to figure out exactly what/if active projects are out there.

I know the Android x86 project was discontinued, and as far as I'm aware wasn't forked or restarted right? I also found out tonight in a VM that Bliss OS is based on the now defunct Android x86 project and is putting out updates for the moment, but Android 11 support is going to end soon so I'm not sure if they're going to stick around or not.

So yeah, I guess I was wondering what the state of Android on x86 hardware was nowadays. Can't seem to find much, so guessing it's not much or I just can't find the right search terms.

x86 is deprecated in AOSP, iirc x86_64 is supported (the official SDK emulators are x86_64) but you will probably run into plenty of apps that don't ship native components compiled for anything other than ARM.
