There are some changes to the android x86 4.2 jelly bean test this one is that there is no translator ARM, which means that the android 4.2 x86 is not going to much to run apk in goolge play app store.

Here are some of the issues that occur in android x86 4.2 jelly bean are:

1. Android will sometimes freeze or lag.
2. Android is not equipped with ARM translator. ARM translator as I mentioned above that with this android without ARM translator then some android apk apps will not work properly or even unworkable.
3. Can not suspend or resume application so its better to disable screen lock to not activated.
4. Bluetooth will not work.
