Hi there. As you may already know, Remix OS has already been released for PC. Remix OS is "re-designed" Android which works on PC and has many good features such as multitasking, Windows shortcuts, etc. In this thread, I want to teach how to install Remix OS, ROOT it and many more. So, let's get started.
1. Install Remix OS on HDD [Using Ubuntu]:
So, to install Remix OS on HDD, you will need Remix OS iso or img file and Ubuntu installed on PC.
First of all, create folder called "remix" (without quotes) on / directory on Ubuntu.
From the Remix ISO/IMG, put the following files in /remix: initrd.img, kernel, ramdisk.img, system.img.
Make a directory /remix/data.
There you go, Remix OS is now on HDD... But how to boot it? You have to add it into GRUB menu. To do this:
Open terminal in ubuntu and type in:
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom
You'll be prompted for root password, type it in. Then you'll get gedit window with some texts in it. Add this code at the end of the text:
Code:
menuentry 'Remix OS' --class android-x86 {
insmod part_gpt
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /remix/system.img
linux /remix/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive CMDLINE
initrd /remix/initrd.img
}
Then, in terminal, run this command to update GRUB configuration:
Code:
sudo update-grub
Again, type in root password and vuala, now you have Remix OS installed on HDD and it is available in GRUB menu. Rebooting should yield a menu in GRUB called Remix, which might work. The way I've done it here, Remix will share storage with Ubuntu, but will be unable to see the contents outside of /remix/data. If you prefer, you can pre-allocate space for Remix using an image for /data like so:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/remix/data.img bs=1M count=XXX
mkfs.ext4 /remix/data.img
(where XXX is how many megabytes you want data.img to be). An image is convenient for portability and backup purposes, so it's up to your preference. I prefer to use /remix/data over an image just because of the limited storage on my tablet.
This is also pretty non-destructive. To remove Remix, just revert or remove /etc/grub.d/40_custom, run update-grub, and if you wish, delete /remix.
2. Install Google Play Services:
After booting into Remix OS, you'll notice that there is not any Google Play Services/apps like Play Store, etc. To install them, you have to:
Download GMSInstaller.apk from here.
Install APK file and run it.
Click on "One-click to install Google Services" (this will automatically download google play services).
There you go, now you have Google Play Services installed.
After installation, you may be unable to install apps from Play Store. To fix this, you have to clear data for Google Play Services, Google Services Framework and Google Play Store and then restart PC/notebook. After restart, try cleaning data again for Google Play Store again.
3. Root Remix OS [Using Ubuntu]:
Now I'll teach you how to ROOT Remix OS. You can learn more about root access here, if you don't already know it.
Download and Extract RemixRoot.zip to desktop
Copy system.sfs from your pendrive or hdd wherever you have installed Remix OS to the desktop
Open Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and type:
Code:
sudo apt-get install squashfs-tools
cd Desktop
unsquashfs system.sfs
This commands will create a new folder on Desktop. There will be system.img in that folder
Copy that system.img to RemixRoot folder
Open terminal again and type:
Code:
sudo -i
Enter your password (If you are running in live cd then no password)
Change directory to RemixRoot folder.
Code:
cd /home/user_name/Desktop/RemixRoot
If you did it right next line of terminal will end with RemixRoot# followed by blinking cursor
Now run rootx.sh script by typing
sh rootx.sh
If everything goes right there wont be any error message and you will get a root.img in your RemixRoot folder
Rename it to system.img and copy to your pendrive/hdd replacing previous system.img
Reboot and go to RemixOS and update SuperSU binaries
That's it! you are now rooted
4. Update Remix OS to the latest version [Using Ubuntu]:
So, new version of Remix OS is released and I want to show how to update your current Remix OS to the latest version.
First of all, download new version of Remix OS (current is 2016012301) from here. Remember to choose EFI.
After downloading, extract system.sfs file from the img and put it in Desktop.
Open the termial and type in:
Code:
sudo apt-get install squashfs-tools
cd Desktop
unsquashfs system.sfs
This code will:
Install squashfs-tools which is needed to extract system.sfs file
Point working location to Desktop
Extract system.sfs file and will create a new folder on the Desktop. There will be system.img in that folder
Now, after we got hands on system.img, which previously were unavailable, we need to copy that system.img to /remix directory which we created in section 1. Install Remix OS on HDD [Using Ubuntu]. This will overwrite previous system.img also. You can also copy initrd.img, kernel and ramdisk.img, but that files are rarely updated.
More instructions may or may not be added.

Installing Play Services went fine, although even after deleting the cache, rebooting, reinstalling entirely, no installations were possible via the store, for me.
Others had success tho.

@DroidTwe4kz With this method is Remix OS installed or will it ask for resident or guest mode each time?

It is installed, like Ubuntu. It will save all apps, files and stuff. It won't ask for which mode you want to boot
When I install this way I have an internal storage size of 3.8gb. Did I do something wrong?
1&3 success , 2 failed
1. Just format your target hdd or ssd with ext4 and install there. You will get full space of your media. I used a GPARTED live cd to inject linux sh commands. Any live linux distro is ok while you can use basic commands like fdisk, mount, cd, etc. BTW install requires you modify isolinux.cfg by adding INSTALL=1 DEBUG=0 to an install menu.
2. I failed. I tried various ways with no success. I checked the apps like Google Play*, Service* and they are there in frozen state. As soon as I unfreeze them, they are automatically freezing themselves. Strange...
3. Worked like charm.
Thank you your info.
-------------
P.S. Resident/Guest menus are only shown on live cd image. Once installed, you will see different GRUB menus and just click the first one. Good luck.

I think not. You can even create another partition and put files in it, but then you must make some changes in GRUB configuration file too.
BTW, there's how Remix OS appears in GRUB2 menu.

Stuck
Hello. So I have a problem. I have downloaded the file and placed all the files in the folder. I am running Linux Mint 17.3 based on Ubuntu but when I tried to boot remix OS I get stuck on a screen that's says Detecting Android-x86... Found at /dev/sda1 and nothing else. Did I do something wrong? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

Builduntu is a custom branch of the Ubuntu operating system, based on my guide here for preparing Ubuntu 16.04 to compile Android ROMs from source. It includes everything you need to sync with the repository of your choice (Cyanogenmod, AOKP, AOSP, etc) and start building.
I am not responsible for any damage you may cause to your system/files while trying to install Builduntu. This has been tested and verified working by me, so if you break Windows or your system won't boot, it's your fault.
This thread is not the place to ask how to install Linux or Dual Boot!!! These topics are well documented elsewhere and can be easily found in a few seconds on Google.
Thanks to Canonical, Google and me.
Features:
- Xubuntu 16.04 LTS base system
- Installed all necessary packages for compiling (list available in the guide link above)
- Unnecessary junk removed (media players, games etc.)
All you have to do is download the source!
The only requirement is that your host machine supports a 64 bit OS. 32 bit systems will not work!
Instructions:
1. Use your favorite image burning software to write the builduntu ISO to a blank DVD. Will not fit on a CD
2. Boot the disc. When the graphical installer starts, click "Install Xubuntu"
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to select language, username, etc. * Note * When setting up partitions, I recommend doing it yourself if you know how. If not, that's fine, let Ubuntu decide for you.
4. When the installation finishes, reboot and eject the installation media.
5. Sync the Android source locally:
~ A program called "repo" lets you communicate with git repositories and download source code. The following command will install it:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin && curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
~ Use nano to edit ~/.bashrc
Code:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
~ At the very bottom (use the Page Down key) paste this code to a new (empty) line:
Code:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
~ Save it. In nano that would be Ctrl-O and then Enter. Then Ctrl-X to exit back to a prompt. Restart bash:
Code:
source ~/.bashrc
~ In the terminal, navigate to where you would like to download the Android source code. The command below will make it in your home folder, but if you have limited space you may want to create it somewhere else. Faster is better, i.e. SSD would be best, USB external is basically unusable.
Code:
mkdir ~/android
cd ~/android
~ Now to initialize the repo. Decide the flavor of Android to build, i.e. AOKP, CyanogenMod, AOSP etc.
For the purposes of the tutorial, here's the command for CyanogenMod 13:
Code:
repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-13.0
repo sync
When that is finished downloading, you're ready to start compiling ROMs!

Let me know how it works for you!
Feel free to buy me a Zico (donate) if you like my work. It would be greatly appreciated!
Please hit the "Thanks" button if this project helps you out!
Code:
[U][B]Changelog:[/B][/U]
v1.0 - First Release Mar 05 2014
v1.1 - Rebuilt from scratch the hard way
v1.2 - 4/20 Release - Update to 14.04 LTS Official
v2.0 - Update to 16.04 LTS with OpenJDK 8 for Android M builds
This is just awesome +1
This is Xubuntu 13.10...
I burned image on DVD using Brasero (ubuntu program) and run installation process from that DVD.
And before the end of installation I got this error:

Of course "buildbuntu" doesn't boot, some errors with reading/writing sda partition.
Luckly I installed it on my test drive so my workspace isn't damaged.

I installed it to a fresh system just fine yesterday, not sure what your issue could be from. Could you post an installation log? Did you verify the md5sum of your downloaded file?
It is in fact Xubuntu 14.04. Canonical hasn't bothered changing the initial splash screen yet because it's still in beta. If you run the Live instance and check the version of ubuntu it correctly identifies as Trusty Tahr.

After the error appears it should load you into a live desktop session. The install log will be located there, perhaps in /var/log, /var/log/installer or the guest session home directory. Look around for .log files

Ccahe error
Im trying to compile tihe ccache and when i set it up i recieve this error
bash: prebuilts/misc/linux-x86/ccache/ccache: No such file or directory
any ideas on how i can fix this would be appreciated
thanks

First, make sure ccache is installed (I'm reasonably sure it is out of the box)
Code:
sudo apt-get install ccache
If that's ok, check this link below and scroll down to Step 4a (optional).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506695
Ccache is not necessary and not ideal for all systems, so you may just want to disable it in your build process. Hope this helps.
Thanks I'll check it out

so i dual booted ubuntu 13.10 on my laptop... but i couldn't build on it due to some stupidity... anyway, if someone could answer me some questions, maybe I'll uninstall ubuntu and switch to this since it's way easier for me.
1) did anyone successfully dual boot it? even with UEFI on?
2) can we transfer the source codes from an OS to another by packaging them and then extracting them in the new xubuntu? will it work that way?

Hello, have you already solved that problem? Because since hours, even days I try to install builduntu on my notebook, but always got that error too!. I have usb legacy enabled, raid disabled and uefi boot enabled. I have a small ssd and a normal hdd. What am I doing wrong. I cannot get it to work, neither with manual editing the moint points, nor with automatically install through the system.
Many thanks!!

I never received an installation log from anyone so I have no way to start to figure out what went wrong.
It seems like many users have installed successfully, but a few are encountering errors like the one mentioned above.
I don't know how to help you without more information about the problem and your system. It could be a million things with how vague the descriptions are.

I haven't fixed it. I installed xubuntu and ocnfigured it on my own.
I wasted two DVDs for that Builduntu :/
i installed xubuntu today, it boots without a CD (just to confirm it's installed)
inside settings there's a button called "Install RELEASE", should i? i mean... it's already installed :S

Yes sure can be many things....but here attached are some log files one/two from my try a couple of minutes ago. Problem is, that I already tried so many things and absolutely not sure whether it is my fault, my hardware or perhaps a bad download, in short where I have to look for the solution? Perhaps the log files give some useful information to you :fingers-crossed:

In the meantime, I have also downloaded the "pure" Xubuntu and got it installed with the very first try. Exact with the same settings as last tries with builduntu. Dev environment is installed and source codes downloaded. At the moment I am building my first rom with this software. Hopefully it finishes without errors :fingers-crossed: .
i downloaded the sources on a VM, but couldn't make it work on my secondary OS after compression, tranfser, and extraction of the sources...

Want to have Android on your PC?
Looking to dual-boot alongside 64-bit Windows?
Want to increase internal storage beyond the maximum 8GB allocated by the Remix OS Beta PC installer?
Want to turn Android into an everyday replacement for Windows? Want to mount your internal hard disk drives and network shares?
Look no further for the ultimate guide!
After poring through countless threads, I managed to put together a working and rooted system of Remix OS, dual-booting alongside my UEFI Windows 10 setup for my own use, with storage space more than the maximum of 8GB (if installed via the Windows installer).
Below are the steps for how to install, dual-boot, root and mount 64-bit Remix OS 2.0 Beta on an ext4 partition.
SHRINKING/CREATING A PARTITION FOR REMIX OS
1. Open "Disk Management" in Windows.
2. Right-click on your system drive's primary partition (usually C, the largest-volume partition) and select "Shrink Volume". Set the desired new size for your system partition by subtracting your desired partition size for Remix OS. Mine is 20GB.
3. Wait and when you're done, right-click on the Unallocated Space. Select "New Volume" and format it to FAT32.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1. INSTALL REMIX OS ON EXT4 PARTITION
1. Download Remix OS (I am using the 64-bit version) here.
2. Install it onto a USB drive using the installer executable.
3. Boot the USB drive using your motherboard's UEFI boot menu.
4. Press "Tab", then "e" with "Resident Mode" highlighted. Press the down arrow button to go down two lines. Hit space at the end of the line before "initrd" and press "space". Type "INSTALL=0" (in caps, without quotes at the end of the line).
5. Press "Ctrl+X" to run the installer.
6. Select the partition which you just created (a "vfat" partition, usually the last number in the hard disk) and would like to install Remix OS on.
7. Format it to "ext4" partition when prompted to do so (ext4 partition will use up all the available space for the data while fat32 will require you to create a "data.img" file of specified size). Select "Yes" when prompted to create GRUB and GRUB2 EFI bootloader, and when asked for a system-write image.
8. Boot into Remix OS Beta after installation is complete and go through the first start settings until you reach the home screen. Don't mess around too much here first. There are more things to configure.
2. ROOTING REMIX OS
1. Download Linux Mint Cinnamon 64-bit version here.
2. Install it onto a USB drive using Rufus.
3. Boot the USB drive using your motherboard's UEFI boot menu.
4. Download "remixroot.zip" from this post. Save the file in your Downloads folder.
5. Open File Manager and mount your ext4 partition (should be named "Android-x86") by clicking on it. Its contents should appear.
6. Open a Terminal Window. Type the following commands:
Code:
cd Downloads
sudo unzip remixroot.zip -d "/media/mint/Android-x86/android-2016-03-01"
cd /media/mint/Android-x86/android-2016-03-01
sudo sh remixroot.sh
7. If there are no error messages, shutdown Linux Mint.
3. DUAL-BOOT REMIX OS with WINDOWS
1. Boot into Windows.
2. Download Grub2Win
3. Install it by executing Setup.bat.
4. Open Grub2Win.exe for the first time and click on "Manage EFI Partition Modules. Ensure that the Grub2Win EFI Modules are installed. Set Grub2Win as the default EFI boot loader. Close Grub2Win.
5. Download and paste this grub.cfg in the directory where you installed Grub2Win.
6. Append (hd0,5) to the partition (hard disk, partition number) where you installed Remix OS.
7. Save grub.cfg. Open Grub2Win again and click on "Manage Boot Menu" to check if the settings are correct.
4. UPDATING SUPERSU BINARY
1. Boot into Remix OS Beta by restarting your computer. The Grub2Win EFI boot loader should appear with 2 options. Select "Remix OS".
2. Download the Google Play Services installer from here.
3. Install the Google Play Services downloader, download the package and reboot Remix OS when prompted.
4. Setup your Google Account for the Google Play Store.
5. Update "SuperSU" (if available) and download "Root Checker" to check for Root Access. A SuperSU prompt should be displayed.
6. Update SuperSU binary after launching SuperSU and reboot.
5. MOUNTING INTERNAL HDD
1. Download Paragon Mounter here.
2. Grant the application root access when prompted. It should automatically mount your NTFS system drives.
3. You may access them by opening File Explorer and navigating to "Storage>My Remix>Paragon_NTFS_X" for each partition.
That's all. Hope this guide has been of use. Give a thanks and like my site's Facebook page if you have found this guide helpful. I quite like Remix OS and think feel that Android can be quite a viable replacement for Windows, especially those who tend to browse the net and watch YouTube videos more. After all, we do use Android on our phones on a daily basis already.
If I will install grub2win on Windows, I don't need to install grub and grub2 bootloader on Remix OS installation, right?

There is no way getting this to work on a 32 bit uefi? I have hardware that supports 64 bit, but my stupid bios only supports 32 bit. Quite annoying!

Hmm, technically, you're right. However, I just hit "Yes" when prompted twice during the installation process to avoid any troubles. Just don't format your primary boot partition (the one with Windows) when prompted to do so. Installing grub and grub2 bootloader won't make any difference as they will be residing on the secondary partition and the computer will boot to the first partition always (the one with Windows on it).
It is also not really possible to add an entry for Remix OS in the Windows Boot Loader at this time, from what I've read as EasyBCD is limited for a UEFI boot loader, only good for legacy Bios. Therefore, I decided to use Grub2win as the defauly bootloader. Do tell me if it works!

Wait, what do you mean by your bios supports only 32 bit with 64 bit hardware? If I'm not wrong, UEFI BIOS does not have 32-bit/64-bit classification. It's the operating system. Do you mean a 32-bit Windows installation?
If you want to be on the safe side, you could try downloading the 32-bit Remix OS ISO image and install it using the same method by booting from your USB drive. However, since you have 64-bit hardware, you should be able to install the 64-bit RemixOS fine, regardless of whether you have a 32/64-bit Windows. Have you tried it?
@XDantheManX, To get 20GB for Remix OS, do I have to follow all the 5 steps? Please be more simple. I seem to get lost at your 1st step, I am so sure if I installed the Remix OS, it will go to the New Volume just previously made.
I want to dual boot Remix OS with Ubuntu. I've already installed Remix on a ext4 partition but now I'm unable to add Remix's boot entry in GRUB2's boot selection menu. Could you pleeeease help me with that? Please?

Yes, you may install Remix OS on the New Volume from the partition you have shrunk. You may set it to 20GB or more, depending on how much you'd like to shrink the volume by.
As for increased storage space, you'll just have to follow step 1 and 3 to dual boot with windows. Install Remix using the USB installer and add its boot entry into Grub2win. The other steps are for rooting Remix OS (optional) and mounting your Windows partitions (eg. C: drive) to access them in Remix OS.

I am assuming you installed Remix OS on a separate partition using the USB installer. To dual boot Remix OS, you'll have to add a custom menu entry into Ubuntu's GRUB2. Download the grub.cfg file attached in the first post, copy the highlighted line of code in the screenshot (adjust hd (0,5) accordingly) and create a file in the /etc/grub.d folder

UEFI indeed has 32-bit and 64-bit implementations, and cheaper systems use 32-bit UEFI while running 64-bit processors. Poorly coded operating systems (actually just Linux) do not handle booting a 64-bit OS from 32-bit UEFI because again, bad programmers. And that assessment is from Intel, not me.

Install Instructions:
LEGACY
1. Extract Project ROC
2. Run Remix OS Installation Tool
3. Select Project ROC with the corresponding version number for the ISO
4. Select desired install location: Hard Disk or USB
5. Select target drive and partition
6. Press OK and allow the installer to finish
7. Close the installer and navigate to the installer location (Since I installed to my C: partition, it was located at C:\RemixOS\)
8. Open menu.lst with your favourite text editor (I used Notepad++)
9. Add this: REMOUNT_RW=1 after SRC=RemixOS/
Make sure the red code is added like this:
Example:
Code:
default 0
timeout 10
title Resident mode - All your data and apps are saved
find --set-root /RemixOS/kernel
kernel /RemixOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SERIAL=random logo.showlogo=1 SRC=RemixOS/[B][COLOR="Red"] REMOUNT_RW=1 [/COLOR][/B]DATA= CREATE_DATA_IMG=1
initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img
boot
10. Save and reboot to Project ROC
11. All versions from .205 will have the Xposed Framework files included, but must be manually installed to be able to use. If you want to install and use Xposed Framework then follow these steps!
Boot Remix OS with Debugging
To do this add the flag: "DEBUG=1" just like earlier with the "REMOUNT_RW=1" flag! (You can remove it once you have installed Xposed!)
When it asks you to type exit do not type exit, instead follow this: 1. "su" (allow su permission 2. "cd /system/xposed" 3. "sh flash-script.sh" 4. "exit" 5. "exit"
e.g.
>su
>cd /system/xposed
>sh flash-script.sh
>exit
>exit
12. Update all apps via Google Play Store
UEFI
Thanks to @Vioner for letting me use his instructions!
Now you need to make the change persistent:
For Remix OS installed on hard drive:
LEGACY BOOT:Apply adequate changes to grub.cfg or menu.lst file in your Remix OS installation folder. Editing both files won't hurt
UEFI BOOT: Apply adequate changes to EFI:/boot/grub/grub.cfg file in your ESP (EFI System Partition) - example path Z:/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Instruction on how to access grub.cfg file on Windows
BEWARE, ACCIDENTALLY REMOVING OR MODIFYING SOME FILES FROM ESP PARTITION WILL RENDER SYSTEMS NOT BOOTABLE - WILL REQUIRE RECOVERY TOOLS.
To access ESP, you need to:
start cmd.exe as administrator
Kill Explorer -> Mount the ESP -> Start the Explorer as admin using below commands:
Code:
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
mountvol Z: /s
explorer.exe
If you fail to mount the system partition then it's probably already mounted. Start notepad as administrator then browse My computer and you should find a SYSTEM drive - that's ESP.
Edit & save the EFI:/boot/grub/grub.cfg file
Reboot and test if the changes worked(if you reboot into Windows, the ESP should be inaccessible again - it automatically unmounts upon restart)
For Remix OS installed on a USB stick:
You will need to access USB partition labeled REMIXOSSYS.
Filesystem of this partition is not supported by Windows, so without any 3rd party apps you won't be able to modify the needed files.
You will need to either use a Linux distribution or edit from Remix OS on other device. Be dexterous
LEGACY BOOT:Apply adequate changes to REMIXOSSYS:/SYSLINUX.CFG
UEFI BOOT: Apply adequate changes to REMIXOSSYS:/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Add a post with your results after using the guide and hit Thanks it it worked for you List your device brand and model & GPUs models + Remix OS version

Yes it will work, just use grub-customizer to add an entry for remix os!
But I have realised that it wont work instantly, you will need to use windows, install it (follow the instructions),and then boot it (not from ubuntu's grub but windows), let it boot up then restart and boot from grub! If you have skype I could tell you how to do it easily! Just PM me!

Your problem is with the grub; not sure which grub @moman2000 added but if it's the one jide included then hopefully the ntfs grub module was also included and it just needs to be insmod'ed in grub.cfg/menu.lst
For me 64bit version don't start. Bootloop on remixos. With official version no problem.

Awesome. One thing to note, I could not get SuperSu to open at all while in DEBUG mode. I ended up booting normal Remix OS and enabling the debug console and doing it this way. Just a heads up!

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, like I previously stated... If you also have another operating system installed (I have Windows 10 Pro x64) you can modify a few things about the new bootup process. Wherever you installed Remix OS (I've installed it to a seperate partition, so for me it is E:/), go there.
- Open the Remix OS folder
- Find "menu.lst" and open it with Notepad++
- Delete the entry for Remix OS DEBUG. Delete the whole entry
- Change "timeout" from '10' to '0'
- Save the file
It will look very similar to this:
Code:
default 0
timeout 0
title Resident mode - RW enabled
find --set-root /RemixOS/kernel
kernel /RemixOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_x64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SERIAL=random logo.showlogo=1 SRC=RemixOS/ REMOUNT_RW=1 DATA= CREATE_DATA_IMG=1
initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img
boot
What this will do is remove the entry for Remix OS DEBUG -- INSTALL XPOSED, force standard rooted/xposed Remix OS to boot automatically, and remove the 10 second timeout before the Remix OS selection allowing Remix to boot automatically after selecting it in the Windows bootloader. For advanced users, this can be accomplised in the Remix OS/Remix OS DEBUG selection screen also, by pressing Escape to enter the selection screen, "e" to edit lists, and following the on-screen instructions for deleting selections and saving.
Hope this helps!
Worked perfectly, thanks my friend.

Hey guys,
Android-x86 6.0-r3 was released. It has new video drivers that I would like to try. Since Remix OS is basically Android-x86, is it possible to use the kernel from Android-x86 6.0-r3 on the latest Remix OS 3.0.207?
I was reading what Chih-Wei Huang said here.

You don't need to rebuild initrd.img for new kernel.
Just replace the kernel image (bzImage)
and modules in /system/lib/modules.

I know this probably sounds a lot easier said than done. But does anyone know if the same kernel from Android-x86 6.0-r3 could be integrated into Remix OS 3.0.207 and does anyone know what is the process to accomplish this hopefully without having to reinstall everything from scratch?
Try and report here. Will mostly work as I tried something similar before but can't guarantee
I'll give it a try later. I'm thinking I can use RMXTools for this?
I believe the files to replace are in the system.img file?
I extracted the system.img with RMXTools
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm assuming I can delete the folder 4.4.24-android-x86_64 and replace it with the one from Android-x86 6.0-r3?
Then hit create-img to rebuild the system.img file? I never used this tool so I'm not sure if that is the process.
I still need to find out where bzImage is located too
**Update**
Ok so I'm using Remix OS 3.0.207 64 Bit
I used RMXTools 1.5
First I made a backup of kernel and system.img under the RemixOS folder
1) Extracted the system.img from Remix OS
2) Deleted \lib\modules\4.4.24-android-x86_64 folder and then copied 4.4.62-android-x86_64 from Android-x86 6.0-r3 64bit
3) Repacked system.img
4) Replaced system.img with the modified system.img and also replaced the kernel file from the one from Android-x86 6.0-r3 64bit
Booted up and sure enough the kernel is updated and everything appears to be normal. However the MESA driver did not get updated.
Now I'm going to try to overwrite the whole lib and lib64 folders in the system.img from Remix OS with the ones from Android-x86 6.0-r3 64bit. Hopefully this doesn't break everything. I'll report back.
Well that made it not boot. Could be because that overwrote some files needed for the xposed framework. Besides the files I mentioned first, I had to research on which files are associated with the mesa drivers and only replaced those files and the kernel files and it looks like it worked
what changed?

Just the kernel was updated to the latest from Android-x86 6.0-r3 as well as the video drivers. That's all that I updated.
Now I really need to figure out how to disable the taskbar completely on Remix OS
Can you upload the modded iso, please?
I exactly made that with my old pc and it worked xD
Regardless... You're awesome!

Where is the system.img file? I only have a system.sys file inside the iso.

Extract the system.img from the system.sfs using 7-zip. If 7-zip couldn't do it as Remix OS uses newer SFS system, boot Remix OS and add REMOUNT_RW=1 at the end of kernel line in grub. System.img file will be created in the Remix OS installation folder.

7-zip does not decompress the file, and the command "REMOUNT_RW = 1" in the GRUB gives me error. Can someone upload the modified iso?
Thank you anyway.
I could modify the original system.img on the iso but does anyone know if I can use any iso program like UltraISO to add the modified file back to the iso without breaking the iso?

I think you can use UltraISO or ISO Master.

OK I modded the ISO. Testing it before I upload it. I only have a Laptop with no Windows right now to test. So I'm going to try it with unetbootin, using a big partition formated as EXT4 and set as active and I'll try to install it to the HDD using the USB created with unetbootin

OK!
I can test it too. I have a table-pc with Linux.
You can install Remix OS from USB:
> Prepare a USB flash drive with Remix OS installed & Boot from USB*flash drive
> Choose ‘Resident mode’, press ‘e’
> Delete USB_PARTITION=1 in the command line
> add INSTALL=2 (or 1 for manual install)
> Press ‘F10’ to boot
> The installation will take place automatically.*

It hanged up at the installation screen when I booted with the USB created with unetbootin. I ghosted a Windows partition and tried to install it using the Remix OS installer.
However I get to the Writing Speed Test
Formatting the data partition then I get this error
/init line 309: mke2fs: not found
It broke the iso. Unless the original iso does the same thing. I'm going to install using the original iso Remix_OS_for_PC_Android_M_64bit_B2016112101.iso
Otherwise I'll try your method
*Edit*
OK the original iso is broken lol
It gives the same error. Well it's very late here. Tomorrow I'll update the kernel and video drivers on this iso RemixOS_x64- Xposed- SuperSU- Gapps.iso
This is the one I use and it creates a system.img instead of syste.sfs as well plus it comes with the xposed framework preinstalled and the google playstore activated thanks to PizzaG

I recommend that you use Rufus to create booteable USB.

OK I updated PizzaG's RemixOS_x64- Xposed- SuperSU- Gapps.iso based on 3.0.207 with the Google Apps, SuperSU and Xposed Framework preinstalled.
It has the updated Kernel and Mesa drivers. Those are the only changes I made. I only tested it in dual boot using the Remix Installer Tool in Windows. However you should be able to also install to a USB and either run it from the USB or install from the USB using dayara's instructions.

You would need to prepare the HDD first, creating a ext4 partition and setting the partition active. You can do this using Hiren's Boot CD and using Parted Magic. More instructions are here: https://chubbable.com/remix-os-installation#hdd-single-boot-install
