Hi,

Could you please run Sysinfo for Android, go to 'Build' and type in the contents of the "CPU ABI" and "CPU ABI2" fields?

I just tested it on an x86 Android with the latest nightlies and it is able to run fine.

You can install it after enabling unknown sources.

Please try https://my.owndrive.com/public.php?serv ... 150102.apk

This exact build works fine on my x86 Android.

tried that one too and same error. Like I said, I have an acer that has very similar intel processor (speed just a little different) and the beta works fine. I don't know what it is with this tablet? It is running 4.3 Jelly Bean. the other runs 4.4.2 Kit Kat. Due to SD card limitations in Kit Kat, I have not upgraded the Jelly Bean tablet yet.

Then perhaps your firmware is buggy.

surprisingly, 4.4.2 Kit Kat is known for being buggy. Jelly Bean was considered more stable.

it's weird... If one line has x86, we consider it intel.
