im running the asus t100ta transformer.
i have tried 5-6 iso most of them doesnt even goes to grub screen. and the only 1 that does launches android but seems frozen at the welcome screen plus mouse not smooth the whole time and sluggish performance.
here are the ones i tried so far
this one loads grub but stuck at welcome screen
android-x86 -4.4-r2 (388MB)
these iso grub dont load im back at the UEFI screen as soon as i try to boot from the usb option
android-x86 -4.4-RC2 (332MB)
android_x86- 5.0.2gaaps (368mb)
android-x86 4.0-r1.1-asus_laptop(178mb)
android-x86-4.2-20121225(198mb)
android-x86-4.4-r1 (343mb)
i was using Rufus usb program and i noticed only the android-x86 -4.4-r2 (388MB) was able to start with the option "MBR partition scheme for UEFI computer"
all the others are not UEFI bootable or i had to pick for BIOS computer setting.
anyone has any idea what is going on? i have seen people running android on identical computers without any problems....thanks for help

I usually use my Dell Venue 11 Pro without a keyboard attached but now I can't choose remix os at boot. Is it possible to choose the second option of a dual boot without a keyboard?
I have a similar issue with a dell latitude 7350; I just bought it without a keyboard and it has no usb ports so I can't plug one in.
I've installed remix os but the touch screen doesn't work at the boot loader so I can't get into remix os; anyone have any ideas how I can boot into remix os?
Edit: Is there a file I modify with notepad to have it boot into remix os?
i have the same issue. did anyone found a solution?
did you test this?
https://www.reddit.com/r/RemixOS/comments/48t7m1/installed_on_dell_venue_11_pro_7130/d0n7z4m/
the solution is only with android 5 image, maybe someone has android 6 image for this?
You need to change the boot order with EasyBCD from windows. Make Remix OS the default

and how can i change the boot order in remixOS? or do i have to stay there forever? is there a easyBCD for android?
Oh Remix OS is your default boot option? Normally is the other way around.
You just said I should make it default with easy bcd. Then remixOS is default. How to change it back from remix os?
You need to edit c:\boot\bcd.bcd
But I'm not sure if there is a BCD editor for Android, and You can't boot to any USB?
Otherwise You need to boot from USB to a Windows Live environment and run EasyBCD there.
I ran into this as well with my NuVision Tablet. Upon boot it will not use the power button to select the os even though I can use the volume buttons to go up and down on the list.
What I don't get, is I was able to install RemixOS on my Acer W500 and it edits the Windows Boot Manager that functions the same way, but works correctly with the Windows 8-10 style touchscreen menu, the same style of menu if you go into Windows 8-10 and go through Settings to get to Startup Options.
The only thing I can think of that is different is it is not a UEFI windows install, however it is a UEFI capable bios?
On my Dell Venue 11 Pro I added an UEFI boot entry for Remix OS (took a little fiddling). Now I can enter the UEFI boot menu on startup and select the boot entry using the volume keys.

Hey guys, Meep here, I'm new!
So yesterday I tried installing Remix OS on my HP Pavilion 17, (Core i5-4200M) and a HD 8000M card from AMD.
I intalled the 64 bit version using the HDD installer provided with the ISO, and when done, I select the partition, after some text the RemixOS logo flashes for let's say 3 minutes, then it goes to a black screen witha mouse that I can use with my trackpad, and that goes away when I click a key on the keyboard. If I leave it there for let's say 5 minutes, the fan will start to go crazy. normal AndroidX86 works fine booting from USB. and my laptop is UEFI, so the 32 bit doesn't work either. making the USB installer with both the RemiXos tool and Rufus didn't help. after the remix os logo I am thrown into a black screen with a mouse. any help? thanks in advance.!
It's probably due to the amd card, remix does not play well with non intel graphics cards atm(they're trying to get it to work). The march 1st build was a lot more stable for me but it autoupdates so couldn't stay there. You could try to add nouveau.modeset=0 i915.modeset=1 to the menu.lst file(inside remixos folder) under kernel to force it to use the intel integrated.

Hey. I tried using all kinds of parameters, nomodeset, nomodeset vga 7**, what you said, but everything stops working. now I just get to a black screen, with a stuck white dash at the top left. strange thing is, only thing that works is the brightness support on the keyboard!
I have tried creating a USB RAM-drive, and booting RemixOS (for PC/64) from it on my Cherry Trail (Teclast X16 Power) tablet. It gets to the screen that says "System initializing, please wait...". but never gets past that.
As mentioned, my Teclast X16 tablet is an Intel "Cherry Trail" (Z8700) dual-boot device, that can boot into either Android 5.1 or Windows10. Unfortunately the Android build that comes with it is not very good. (IE: Though the tablet has a GPS sensor, it doesn't work in Android. There are also a few other oddities about the Teclast Android build.)
It is possible that RemixOS is trying to make use of the Android data partition that is on the tablet's internal SSD (instead of using the USB RAM-Drive that RemixOS is on), and being that it already has data on it from the Android OS that came installed on the tablet, maybe it causes problems during boot.
I wanted to just try out RemixOS on this device. A few of the things that I really want to know is...
- Will the tablet touch screen work with RemixOS, or would I have to always use a mouse & keyboard?
- Will the GPS sensor work with RemixOS?
I was also looking to see if there was a way that I could boot RemixOS (for PC) in a VirtualBox VM, but I have not had any success getting that to work. Has anyone been able to run it in a VM successfully?
Hey mediawiz any luck with that?
I just got my hands on a Pipo W1S (x5 z8300 Cherry Trail) and tried a couple of times to boot up Remix OS from a thumb drive with no luck so far.
RCA Cambio Model w101 V2
I managed to get it Installed to a hard drive partition, I had all kinds of issues with that but I've had issues with the 32bit efi on most linux distros. The boot up is still a bit buggy.
I copied the USB to the hard drive after installing to the USB the live ISO. I booted the partition through the bios (might have changed some grub option to get it to boot). I then changed the Grub option to load the install. I installed to the same drive and left it NTFS made a 3gb data.img. After messing around with the file system and grub, I got that booting. Install/updates apps but not the system update, that hangs at 20%.
I've had nothing but problems with this 32bit EFI/64bit systems. I'm trying to get some Linux running fairly nice so I can remove Win 10 , I don't see that happening
I've had luck with Ubuntu Zesty Linuxium build but only to the point of it being a Laptop.
On Remix the screen stays in Portrait and it don't fill the screen, its centered. No Bluetooth, No sound but I did see a link here for possible fix for that. No touch Screen. No battery ready, stays at 100%.
On the plus side the Docking keyboard works and wifi.
It looks like a nice GUI, its the first time I've looked at it.
I assume I'm missing a lot Kernel modules and firmware? Most of what I read looks like old info on these X86 Tablets. Is there anything new to help set them up, what works on them and what don't? I'd like to start with display and sound. Move to touch. Mostly all I care about and a working battery meter.
Thanks PS still boots Windows 10

I managed to boot 32 bit legacy install on a baytrail 2-in-1 tablet with intel atom z37355 ( Notion Ink Cain 10) alongside windows 10. Though the processor supports x64 as it says, the installation always failed, but 32 bit installation succeeded ( to my surprise). I booted up with fully functional touchscreen, wifi, detachable keyboard,wireless usb mouse etc.
Bugs:
No autorotate ( a third party seems to allow me to manually rotate though).
Power and volume hardware buttons dont work ( no volume either).
System seems to freeze if left alone after a while ( however, playstore downloads that were stuck are resumable after force shutdown are start).
Battery indicator stuck at 100% ( am trying to calibrate using some random battery app, but i really doubt it would work)
I'm gonna install kernel aduitor and check if the system freeze after a while can be fixed ( some guy said changing kernel governer to interactive would fix it) later.
All above bugs are known i guess. Just putting it in here so someone with baytrail tablet googles it can see it in one place
Remix OS is supposed to use the blue Windows Boot Manager, correct?
But on my Windows tablet (Lenovo Miix 700), I always get a gray boot screen which asks me to choose "Windows" or "Remix OS".
If I select "Windows", then it will load the blue Windows Boot Manager screen (without the Remix OS option).
Can anyone explain what's going wrong?
How can I force Remix OS to use the actual Windows Boot Manager?
The reason I want the actual Windows Boot Manager is because it's easy to customize the countdown timer & boot preference. With the current gray boot screen, I can only edit the timer by mounting my boot partition & editing complicated files.
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
Bios: UEFI with Secure Boot & Fast Boot disabled.
Remix OS version: Latest (3.0.207)
Installation method: Remix OS For PC "Installation Tool" (16 gb chosen, targetted to 20 gb NTFS partition, drive letter "R:" assigned)
Okay, I discovered the solution. You can read the quoted posts below. It is not possible to add Remix OS as an option in the Windows Boot Manager...if the Windows OS was installed in UEFI.
I don't know why this isn't made more public.
I wasted so many days trying all sorts of experiments, and thinking something was wrong with my system.

UEFI WBM can't load anything other than windows bootloader; so it can't chainload grub2. It does however see any /efi folder as a seperate UEFI [usb] device.

If Windows was installed in BIOS mode, you get the Windows boot menu which is touch compatible, but if Windows was installed in UEFI mode, then the Windows boot menu can't be used to load non-Windows operating systems (thanks Microsoft) and so you get the non-touch grub boot menu. Annoying, I know, and it's the reason I ended up rebuilding my Lenovo Thinkpad Helix in BIOS mode, despite the slower boot process.
