No Touch Control / Button Support / Biometrical Face Scanner Support on Surface Pro 6

Open Sch0b3r opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Hi, I tried to install the newest Oreo 8.1 Version to my Surface Pro 6 and it kinda worked but I had many issues. Going through the installation process, I tried to install Android on my Windows partition because I'd like to share my free disk space and I thought this was the best way to do so. Anyways installing it on that partition failed (idk why). So I created a new partition and successfully installed Android there and started it. On the welcome screen, I couldn't use the touchscreen and also I couldn't log into my Google Account because the set Keyboard Layout didn't match my german keyboard (QWERTZ) and I also couldn't change it afterward in settings. Also the Buttons on the tablet itself don't work and the only way to shut down is by holding the power button 10 seconds. I'd also like to suggest adding support for the biometrical infrared face scanner which is integrated into the Surface Pro 6. I think Microsoft Surface Tablets would be one of the best options for running Android x86 and so I think it would be a waste of potential if the OS won't be optimized for such. If it works on my Surface I'd be happy to donate some money to the project :)
