Hi!
I want to install Remix OS as a second OS on a Medion Akoya Convertible, means I can take the screen unit off and use it as a tablet.
The tablet unit has 64GB of internal storage, the dock has a 500GB HDD built in.
My idea was to install Remix on the tablet unit and Windows 10 on the HDD in the dock unit.
Will there be a problem on booting, if I just use the tablet unit without the dock?
It should boot automatically to Remix if just the tablet unit is booted and give me the choice to boot to Win 10 if docked.
Is this possible? If yes, how? Just install them both normally? Or is there a special procedure necessary for this?
(Sorry if my english is bad, I'm german..)

A few days ago i installed remix os to my 40gb hdd (not primary hdd) via a hard drive case that puts ide through usb. After i installed remix, i booted back into windows and used rmx tools to expand my data partition to 34gb and then i went back to remix and everything worked fine. i installed google services and rebooted a few times and everything was still working. then, to get better performance out of it, i plugged the 40gb hdd back into my motherboard via the ide cable. Now whenever i try to boot into remix again it gets stuck on "detecting android-x86" and won't do anything else. The hard drive status light also stops. I've tried plugging my install usb into the computer when it gets stuck but that does nothing. Any help? my specs are
Intel core 2 duo @2.8
ati radeon 4760 gpu
asus p5ql mobo
250gb hdd (primary)
40gb hdd formatted in ntfs (so i could have 34gb of data)
Seems like it can't read the data partition or something, I don't know how you installed this but maybe you should get a linux distro running first, that makes it so much easier to manage Remix OS see http://forum.xda-developers.com/rem...buntu-mint-t3311865/post65243289#post65243289 for example
You can also try to add the boot option DATA_IN_MEM=1 to see if it boots up

I installed it from a 16gb flash drive to the hard drive. Where do I add that boot option?
I have installed stable lineage OS 14.1 on my PC. but before the last logo of the is shown it says (Detecting Android-x68.................................................... found at /dev/sdb3)
console:/#(...........................................)
I don't know what to write after (console:/#)
Can anyone help me with this.
I appreciate that...
So that is the message I get when I do get into android. Through searching the web I found a lot of messages related to Remix 2.X that has similar issues. After the boot, I see the screen asking me to specify a language, then it goes black (Safe mode shows "SAFE MODE" in the upper corner of the screen) . Ater waiting for over an hour, I came back and clicked the mouse a couple times, get a message that the settings wizard is not responding. I can wait or cancel. If I wait, I go back to black screen indefinitely. If I cancel; I am prompted to select a language again, then back to black screen.
I tried reformatting the USB again... Older versions of the remix tool specify the need for FAT formatting, so I made sure that was the case. Reinstalled the ISO and tried again. Same issue.
The machine in question is an older Toshiba laptop, 64bit. No security settings in BIOS, not specifications to switch between UEFI and legacy so I assume it is just legacy (CSM).
Any tips would be much appreciated, I was excited to get this thing running on my son's laptop to give him some diversification...
Hi all, using a Samsung ativ pc pro xe700t1c-a04uk
dual boot: Windows 10 pro / android remix os 3.0
screen 11.6 full hd 1080p
cpu intel core i5-3317u quad core
ram 4gb
gpu intel hd 4000 (128mb dedicated)
hdd 256gb msata ssd
I run remix os 3.0 from a 64GB 544/MBs msata drive in a usb 3.0 enclosure.
Very fast system. Everything working including apps and games and all hardware (touchpen/touchscreen/gyro/accele/light/nfc/otg/gamepad/cam/mic/sound/gfx/etc).
Problem: Its not a major problem but the screen dimming or brightness control dosent work and thats the only problem.
The samsung ative pc pro xe700t1c is by far the most superior convertible laptop/tablet in the world!
Request to developers:
Can you please implement the sim function for internet and calling. Also can you please implement a gamepad configuration menu just like the keyboard config menu?
Thank you very much for all the good stuff remix team.

hi all i thought this turorial might help you guys....
This is a working usb install media creator method for os remix installation and legacy bios circumventing all known errors made for noobs including USING full drive internal storage space etc.
You will be able to use this usb stick for future creation of other usb install media
you will have the choice to also install to hard drive
you will need 2 x usb drives and require drive write speed to be higher than 10 mb/s
the first drive will be the installer drive and the second will be the actual usb drive used to run remix os.
For first drive basic fat 32 install you will need rufus 2.9 usb boot media creator
after creation of the installer drive keep it safe i reccommend you use a 4gb drive $4/£2 off ebay but get something thats got a write speed higher than 10 mb/s or else install will fail!
Format the second drive to your liking ext 4 for example on your pc with minitool partition or acronis disk manager (make sure the drive is formatted as primary and set to active flag)
1. Create fat 32 usb boot disk with first usb drive and rufus 2.9 and the remix os iso
2.make sure after creation you boot up the usb drive and enter remix os then shutdown and boot up again to write the config files
3.make sure you dont boot up the ufi version of the boot up, only use the legacy version (it will have ufi next to boot drive in bios usb boot up list)
4.after you enter remix os go to settings and download the update (ota) (this is the main fix)(if this update fails you cannot proceed further with instructions)(DOSENT APPLY TO REMIX OS 3.0+ INSTALLATION)
5. After ota update reboot and enter remix os again and let android upgrade
6.after this stage is complete your fat32 remix os usb bootable drive is ready to create a usb drive that runs remix os from the drive itself.
7.insert the second drive in a usb hub and boot up the computer with both drives in the computer and boot from the first drive (the usb remix os installer drive)
8.boot up and at the grub boot menu (it should look blue with yellow writing not the black ufi version) press tab and type: INSTALL=1
9. then press enter then you will enter usb media creation menu select scan usb drives and select the second drive (the remix os running drive)
10. It will ask you what you want to format the drive as so select do not format option (becus you already formatted it)
11.then it will ask you to install first grub boot menu say yes
12. Then it will ask you to install second boot grub efi menu say yes
13. Next it will ask you if you want to format the boot partition or something like that say *** no ***
14. Then it will ask you if you want read/write privelage say yes
15. It will proceed to write the remix os onto the drive
16. When finished it will ask to restart (at this point i just switch the pc off by holding power button then restart and boot off the new second drive to run the os from it already upgraded too)
note: If wanting ntfs version of remix os then its a little complicated than this and you will need to use imgtools to increase the data.img file on the ntfs drive after creation with the first usb media creator drive.
The remix os ota update addresses the boot media creation errors. After the ota update all drives created with the grub menu installer boot up as they should but only ufi boot up option hangs!
Hope this helps hit the thanks dont forget so i know how many people were helped by this! enjoy.
I have the ativ pc pro xe700t1c the uk version with intel core i5 quad core and its also a convertible tablet with msata ssd as hdd drive and as you all probbaly know android was created for fast flash memory and linux format os so the best combination is an ssd and ext4 linux file format. I have a 64gb 544 mb/s msata drive in a usb 3.0 enclosure which i use to boot remix os and run it off it. Its perfectly smooth and fast enough 5 secs to boot and the ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet is fully compatible hadware software wise, no problems at all. The 5 year old Ativ pc pro gets 119,000+ score in antutu benchmark same as the latest LG G5 with the latest adreno 530 gpu/snapdragon 820 cpu which costs approx £600 now in retail!!! I bought the Ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet for only £200 two weeks ago with accessories (ethernet dock etc) worth alone £100 on its own off ebay!!! On top of all that its also a windows 10 pro convertible laptop/tablet system which on its own without android was initially worth £1200 five years ago and still costing approx £500 even now in retail. So what im trying to say here is that for only £200 i get a £600 android 6.0 laptop/tablet and i also get a £500 windows 10 pro laptop tablet ALL IN ONE. Muahahahahahaha haaaaa hahahaha kekekeke.
Acer Aspire Switch 11 SW5 11.6-inch Convertible Notebook PC (Intel Atom Z3745 1.33GHz, 2GB RAM, 32gb SSD.
The issue i am having is I have come to the conclusion that windows is totally unsuitable for this laptop. I have tried to duel boot with remix OS but i did not have enough drive space (32gb is actually only 28, windows ten takes up a huge chunk of this)
I basically want to delete windows (i have created a backup) and put android on it (remix Os especially) in its place.
Has anyone done this with any success or can anyone help with the best way of doing this.
Failing that can anyone tell me if linux mint or ubuntu would be significantly lighter than windows so i could do the duel boot option.
Hi folks
I have a 64bit hp chromebox that has 4gb of ram that I was using as a standalone for openeleq. I switched that to win 10 which ran pretty much perfect with a Bluetooth speaker attached. I have since come across remix os which I ran alongside win 10 on a separate partition that worked fine also. What I want to know is can I install remix os directly to my chromebox ssd as s standalone os that just boots directly into remix os with no windows or anything. I have purchased a little external enclosure for the m2 ssd and had it hooked to my pc last night. I formatted it to fat 32 then ran the remix os install tool and installed it to hard drive (my chromebox ssd). Anyway after install I slipped it back into my chromebox but it won't boot. I get an error at the seabios screen telling me it is unable to read hard disk. Will this be possible to do if so can someone help please. Thankyou
*****update solved*****
Been hacking away at it today and I have found a solution. Plug in your ssd via external enclosure to your pc and format to ntfs. Then downloaded pendrive Linux (universal USB installer) and choose the bottom option (try unlisted Linux iso). Load up the Remix os for pc iso and write it to the ssd. Put the ssd back in the chromebox and it will boot straight into Remix os.
Note: If you are doing it from a fresh chromebox still running chrome os on it then it needs to be flashed first to a custom bios. I have option 6 on mine standalone custom core firmware.
The Kodi E-Z setup script will do this.
Just Google it and follow the instructions.
Remix os will allocate 8gb of internal space regardless of the ssd size when using ntfs. Just load up Remix os on your chromebox and follow the install till you get to the desktop screen then shut it down. Then just remove the ssd from your chromebox and put it back into the enclosure and connect it back to your pc. Just Google increase Remix os internal storage and there is a simple tutorial on how to do this. Mine is 48gb ?. Sorry for not posting links I did try but as I am a newbie I wasn't allowed.
Hope this helps anyone.

Been hacking away at it today and I have found a solution. I downloaded rufus but at first it wouldnt pick up my m.2 ssd in the enclosure so I pressed alt + f together and it appeared. I installed the remix os iso on it and bang it works.
Anyone who has a chromebox and wants remix on it as a standalone operating system then pick up an enclosure and follow the steps above. Thanks
Hope this helps anyone else

do you have to custom bios to use this method?

Yes just google Kodi E-Z setup script and follow the instructions to prep your box and flash the custom firmware. I have mine on option 6 standalone custom core boot firmware. It works flawlessly.

I actually made a mistake and ruined my bios been messing around all day trying to figure it out Installed Gallian Linus without fail then I ran Remix OS from USB and was able to access my internal hdd which to me is what I wanted anyway then I made another copy of my Remix OS on USB and I copied my USB drive with Remix duplicate into my hdd when it was done I rebooted my chrome box and Remix OS is running from hdd only issue I have is it doesn't load first option just takes to long been over 1hr the second option loads fine
need to find another version that works for chrome box I'm using the one from YouTube video need one that skips the guest mode and goes right into OS so I get full access to Remix and not this crap can't write stuff
I downloaded ''release_Remix_OS_for_PC_Android_M_64bit_B2016112101'' and installed it on a Flash disk Kingston microDuo 3.0 32GB. I tested it on my Laptop, an HP 250 G4, with 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD and WIN 10 1607 64 Bit installed on it (BIOS : LEGACY). It loaded correctly, found my wi-fi card and connected to Internet. I installed Google Play and some apps. The only problem was may times the message ''not responding'', but I choose to wait and then all was ok again.
Then, I shut down Remix OS, took the flash drive and connected it to my daughters 2 in 1 Tablet, Lenovo MiiX 3 1030 (2GB RAM, 32GB ROM, WIN 10 1607 Home 32 Bit, but with 64 Bit Intel CPU, BIOS : UEFI), to see if there works also. I entered Boot Setup, choose to boot from flash drive. It loaded correctly, with no error message at all. Although smaller from my laptop, Remix OS playing smoothly on the tablet !! The only problem was that it did not regognised the wi-fi card of the tablet, so I choose to make restart the Remix OS. After the restart appeared a serious problem on the tablet !! The screen, in any mode appears in 3 pieces !! The left one, like mirror the up and down piece, while on the right side appears vertical bars !! Remix OS something done to the monitor or the display card of the tablet. It is hardware, because the 3 pieces appearing and when the tablet is off and I push the power button and appears the battery status, and when I enter in Bios Mode, and when I enter in Windows 10 (so it is not software or driver problem from the Windows side, I think) !!
In both cases, Remix OS did not recognised Bluetooth.
Any suggestions or solution ??
Please help asap, I can't fight my daughter
Thanks in advance
Did you try unplug the battery from the tablet?
