I wanted to start a discussion about features and suggestions.
My initial suggestion is to add a scroll bar. When the mouse is used a scroll bar should be shown on the active window. Clicking and dragging is not intuitive when using a mouse.
How about 3g dongle modem support??
Having resolution under display settings would be Hella helpful. =) I realise this is alpha so i'm not complaining.

I used to use an Android app that worked well but I can't remember the name. It might work with Remix.

have you tried layers?
Portrait mode would be AWESOME! I'd love to read comics and books on it (Surface Pro 3). Now I'm using Windows for that and as you know it's not the best possible touch experience on Windows...

Download "Set Orientation" from the play store. It allows to set any orientation of the screen needed.

Also, I take back everything I said about Remix OS. Its awesome man, I just tried all the games and it plays it like anything. Superb work devs. Keep up the good work.
1. Map long press to right click.
2. Badge for notification icon, animated network indicator(to show whether wifi is active etc).

Unfortunately the apps, build.prop edits, settings (display + accessibility) all haven't worked yet. EDIT: Surface Pro 3
And yeah it's really cool, awesome OS, best Android x86 version I've ever used! Love it! Can't wait for portrait to work etc I wish I knew how to debug and fix this stuff too.

I would like extended display settings:
- Sleep: never
- different display resolutions
- possibility of connection of an extra display (e.g. beamer)
My last wish would help using Remix OS for Android lessons.

Well, dont worry. The devs will release something nice from their kitchen soon.
Just thought of one.
Similar to Windows and pressing F8 to enter safe mode, repair mode, etc, I would like to see a press F8 to enter into an android recovery where we could wipe partitions, flash zips, preform and restore backups, etc. The recovery could even be built from the TWRP base to support touch.

sory, im have install remix OS for PC but why my network not running , my network from cabel modem. Thanks
Remix OS 2.0.100 - 2016012301
1. Gamepad not fully supported / have bugs, some keys worked in system but doesnt work in games.
2. Need a screen brightness slider desperately, screen brightness is 100% by default, currently using some 3rd party app in Play Store as a workaround.
3. Storage size seems to be limited to 4gb due to FAT32 format and UEFI doesn't boot NTFS drive.
4. Memory cleanup gauge indicator not sync with real time usage (EDIT:Added screenshot)
5. Some fn keys do not work (screen brightness, keyboard backlit, touchpad switch)
6. Mouse right click should act as long press
7. Microsoft Excel / Word doesn't run due to processor compatibility
Nonetheless, this is really an amazing piece of OS despite of its alpha state. Im really looking forward to this OS
My rig:
Asus G551 - Windows 10 64bit UEFI - Remix OS installed in HD
Intel i7 processor - Nvidia GTX 840M - 8gb ram

1) Use "Sixaxis Enabler" for ps3 controller support.
2 & 5 ) My "FN" functions work just fine.
3) Fat32 has 4098MB limit and hence there is no workaround for fat32. Use ext4 instead.
4) The RAM indicator seems to be dynamic. More RAM heavy games I play, the more the RAM increases.
6) Are you kidding me? "Remix OS is a android os made for pc". How do you think it will compensate for the right click feature?
7) I ran all microsoft apps with no problem. It must be your rig's gtx840. Nvidia cards mess up remix.

Windows creates and boots from the system reserved partition for recovery modes. RemixOS could do the same. It isn't that complicated.

Recovery wont work. Its not possible. The way remix boots using x86 android kernel is different android bootloader works on phones. Thats why it wont ever work. Go read it on x86 android forums. It has been discussed heavily there. Since, remix os is based on that project, chances of recovery are slim.
However, you can activate a command line recovery using ALT+F1.

3) Is your system UEFI? Does UEFI boot EXT4 format drive?
4) Are you talking about the small indicator icon on the taskbar or the popped up window when you pressed the icon?
6) IMO the long press pop out menu replace by right click is right click done right. I'd love to see this replacing long press action in browser in the future.
7) I think I've found the problem, now the Excel and Word run fine. Might not be Nvidia GPU related.

OK, that makes more sense. A traditional recovery wouldn't work then but that still leaves the possibility for someone to build one from scratch. Maybe someday...

I am naming this ROM with my wife's initials CG as a token of appreciation for her support of my work on this project.
Also credit should be given to Chaosz-X, as part of our ROM was based on his work (mainly the vendor config files).
We have moved to RC release which means it's fairly stable and with most functionality supported. But it doesn't mean it's fully working there are still some bugs and some functionality unsupported see below section to see what is not working.
Also remember that this is not a ported rom it's build from scratch with official HTC HC kernel source modified to work with JB AOKP, so it's very stable but the progress is slower since the degree of difficulty is higher. So be patient.

That's because it's build from aokp tree directly, if you have use cm9 or aokp or any other aosp flavor rom, this is how small it usually is. But it doesn't have gapps. so you need to download those separately.
Well, installed, but it doesn't seem to be booting. It just stays at the initial HTC screen. I'll leave it be for a few more minutes, but if it doesn't work, I'll upgrade to Honeycomb and then try flashing it again.

Makes sense. The files for my phone that are built from AOSP are always smaller than the original ROMs, too.

Edit: Ok so from the few minutes i been playing with this the only bugs i notice are:
Red perimeter around the screen if i remember that has to do with the drivers
A occasional lag with the keyboard
the nav bars look too small but once i went into rom control and changed the nav bar width back to default they looked better
Whenever I long press anything on Trebuchet or Nova the screen rotates and then rotates back real quick not allowing me to move the item or anything
I downloaded and it installed on top of Honeycomb without a problem. This looks very promising!
yncconsulting, are you interested in feedback and bug reports at this time, and is this thread the right place for it?

I saw at first the same issues with the red perimeter and not being able to drag an app to the desktop, but this has fixed itself after installing an app from the Play Store.
EDIT: oops, now the rotate-when-drag-to-desktop effect has reappeared
Thanks for the ROM its working great the only issues I have run into is with the homescreen transitions little laggy. A few forced closes when I use the ROM settings and tried to change the theme. Any chance of getting a Sense 4 integration in the future? Or any Sense for that matter I know that this is huge having a working ICS but I really like having a Sense in there too. Again great job guys.
Sent from my HTC Express using xda premium
Wow, sounds great.
I know over on the E4GT you have to be VERY careful about how to flash an AOKP ICS build, what recovery to use, what kernel to use - lest you brick your rig.
Any special precautions here?
** Thanks so much for this! Should I assume that the pen will work everywhere with this rom as it does in HC?

It doesn't happen for me, wanna share a video of how that works?
Don't need bug report as there are too many and we know it. Unless you have some ideas or suggestions on how to fix the issues.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Okay, on this ROM now.
I've seen a couple of the bugs that the others have seen, but no big deal for me. For the rotating thing, a reboot put it back to normal for me.
The biggest thing I've noticed that actually does matter to me (other than the rotating thing above) is that scrolling can be wonky at times. If I flick too fast, it won't scroll very much, or it will just bounce a little bit where it is. I sometimes have to follow through with the motion all the way for it to smoothly scroll, in any direction. If you need a video of that, just let me know.
You're off to a better than excellent start. Of course there's bugs that need to be worked out, but you've gotten further than anybody else has, so kudos!
Not that we don't want to but this is source from aokp which means its pure google android without any HTC add on.

I'm first long pressing an app icon on the desktop, the screen rotates twice while I keep the finger down.
I then enter the apps menu and try to long press a widget, then swipe over to the apps section and long press an app, both with the same effect.

OK guys ive found some features that remix os must have but doesnt:
1-Share it : So ive tried using share it and what i saw made me wonder the screen went black and didnt fix until i restarted it after that i tried again and saw that it doesnt work at a ll and i cant transfer files between an android phone and remix Os.
2-bluetooth : well this one didnt work too as i said above it wont find my huawei g8 phone and no phones around.
3-Multiple Keyboard Language And Shifting between them : so guys you know that you can change your keyboards language just with pressing
ALT and SHIFT together but in remix os we can only type english and no way to change it.
4-Google services : so what you feel its empty space is google play services. you want to
know how it can help? so you wont be able to use google applications like google play games,gmail,google play, and so on.
As a compassionate User i ask the developer team to add these simple but very necessary features to Remix Os.
WISH YOU LUCK Ariel.
I just started using RemixOS for PC (love it so far!) and I don't have any issues with Google Services? You have to install them separately (instructions on Jide site), but they work fine...

there a lot more important things:
ability to select video output
ability to select sound inputs and outputs
ability to select resolution and size on screen.

I only need screen recording to work, and a brightness slider in notification center
Bluetooth works fine for me, though my desktop appears as a phone in the bluetooth devices list on my phone (Doogee X5 Pro, running vanilla AOSP 6.0).
It does take some time for the prompt to appear though, and you're limited in what file types you can recieve.
And I can type in other languages with my physical keyboard, however I have to change it from the settings window since it doesn't appear in the applet.

Screen recording I can't see them bothering with (a base update to MM would add it by default).
Brightness slider is already there; you just need to disable box mode (or create/pin a shortcut to the SystemUI/brightness activity).
Edit based on 402: Seems to be a reveral of the above - Screen recording is reported to have been added [haven't tested] and the brightness slider is missing/removed [ro.remixos.box=false]

That's kind of a problem, since I dont think stable MM update for android x86 is coming soon and for Remix to update their base to MM would take even more time
And how can I disable box mode? my laptop cant change brightness with fn key even in ubuntu, but it can easily be fix with a slight modification in grub
I cant see how to do it in Remix

Which GPU are you using? It still has few issues. google play services continuously crash on intel Gen8+ GPUs,which is not fixed yet. And porting to mesa 12.0 is currently going on. Once Android-86 is done with mesa porting and fixing issues,Jide can migrate to Marshmallow.

I'm using Lenovo ThinkPad Twist 3347 with Intel integrated graphics. Strangely it had Google Play Services crashes at the beginning but now no crashes at all. I installed new update of Google Play.
My version is 9.2.56 (480-124593566)
***UPDATE*** I was able to install Google Play Store. However, still need to know how to change the screen resolution to make icons / text bigger. Also, how do I enable touchscreen? Trying to play Pinball Arcade -- speed is awesome but can only use keyboard. Doesn't the Surface Book touchscreen work???
Hello,
Running Remix OS successfully on my Surface Book via USB. Several questions: How the heck do I change the screen resolution? Everything is soooooo small that I can barely see / read it. I changed the font to HUGE which made no difference. The screen resolution of the Surface Book must not be compatible to Remix OS. Also, I couldn't find the Google Play store, where is it hiding? Or, is there a way to install it?
Thanks for any help you can provide. I really want to use this, but it is useless on my Surface Book if the icons / text are so small it is unreadable. Also, need the Play Store, or what's the point.
Cheers

Hi , In Settings/Experimental features you can find zoom like on windows 10 put it on 175% , it can help you
Touch Screen on SP4 not working too, maybe we should wait for fix from remix os developers
Good Luck
Jide knows about the touchscreen and looking into a solution.

Hi , In Settings/Experimental features you can find zoom like on windows 10 put it on 175% , it can help you
Touch Screen on SP4 not working too, maybe we should wait for fix from remix os developers
Good Luck

This is good news. Remix OS is quite useless if there is no touchscreen integration for the Surface Book. Also, there needs to be a setting to change screen resolution. All of the icons / mouse / text etc is soooooooooo small I can barely read anything. Thanks.

It's quite odd that you have different options in the Experimental Features than I do.
just go to Settings then Experimental Features, you see from the buttom "Set the Zoom Level" from there you can adjust what size of text and icons what you desire.

Hi @RemixOS_Jason
'Gaming toolkit' app doesn't show up even when i enable key mapping from settings.
It only show up if i enable app from root terminal. (pm command doesn't work in termux too)
and if i want to disable it,it needs me to use terminal again. The switch at Settings doesn't work for me at all.
Who cares?

Nice feature , it's already working good
Just a li'l time and i'm sure we'll have something for the swipe gestures too
Thnx for all the hard-work , Remix team

If your'e using the latest version of remix os on pc, there should be on the desktop...maybe find it on application manager...but the gaming tool kit should popped out when your'e playing ur game
This feature doesn't seem to be baked into the version of Remix OS 3 for Pixel C.

Yes, i was trying to run games in the full screen mode, but it does not help - i do not see anywhere gaming toolkit - it is not popping up and keymapping is turned on in experimental tools. I have installed the latest version of Remix OS 32-b on my Toshiba Laptop. I was trying many games, but there is no gaming toolkit when i play:
Dragon Slayer
Blood & Gloory
Beast Quest
Frontline Commando WW2
Traffic Rider
Please consider upating ur gaming tolkit as it is not initiating while the game is being played.Additionally make a separate link or forum to submit to report the keymapping techniques.
Instead of mapping individual game please add emulator style keymapping controls so that different users could map the shortcuts ccording to their own needs.

You can sort of make swipe movements if you make the direction pad slightly large

after enable in the settings, you have to open up the app by clicking "Gaming Toolkit" in App Drawer which is like the start menu on left bottom corner.
The tablet received a major update the day before yesterday. It was 4.0 GB in size, bumped Android version from 11 to 12. Otherwise there were almost no good changes.
Changes I noticed:
Android Version 11 > 12
like on the phones no dark mode settings for individual apps
Material You support (but also like on phones no settings)
Security patch to October 2022
Launcher:
appicons change their positions during the update
grid is no longer adjustable & changes automatically (!) after display rotation (4x6, 6x4), therefore the icons also move
there is a large margin to the left and to the right, both orientations
many app names must be abbreviated with "..."
the new widgets are finally here, BUT this restricts all other widgets in size & position (There may be gaps that are large enough but can only be filled with apps)
Notifications and Control Center:
background Blur for notifications and quick settings: "simple-blur" > "real-glass-blur"
the notifications are displayed in a smaller space in landscape (like phone in portrait)
thus also more abbreviations than before
the control center has been updated and now looks more like (a fake of) iOS
One thing is striking: some things that were previously adapted to the display size are now more optimized for phones. This can be seen from the fact that, for example, the notifications are only in the middle of the screen and look more like a "portrait on landscape". As a result, the content no longer fits in completely and is abbreviated to "..." for most notifications. Something similar can also be observed in the launcher: The icons always have a large distance to the edge, they are so close together that the app names have to be abbreviated with "...".
Would it be possible that the base of the ROM was changed to that of the phones? I don't know how to check that, but I think in this case it would be possible to release the xiaomi.eu ROM for the tablet.
So don't update yet right? My Pro wifi version still stuck on 13.0.10.
I would ditch MIUI altogether if you're on the Elish (WiFi only) model.
I'm using Arrow OS (A12) and this is just 100x more smooth than the stock MIUI ROMs.
It BAFFLES me that this is the case.... team that makes the device should be able to optimise it as much as possible, yet some random built ROM from source is far superior. Sheer incompetence....
There's a Telegram group if anyone is interested.

I would say it's a matter of getting used to it. After a few weeks I no longer noticed the disadvantages. On the contrary, I'm happy about (the reintroduced) real glass blur and Material You support (especially Gboard).
The fact that the app icons in the launcher always switch between 6x4 and 4x6 (screenshot attached) is also the case with the new 12.5 tablet. If you want a pen/keyboard and up-to-date security patches, there is no way around it.
Unfortunately, I discovered something else (Does not have to be related to the update): if you leave Firefox, just to answer a message, for example, everything is reloaded. Means when I read an article I end up at the beginning, when I pause at a film I'm back at the beginning, if I want to add a photo to this post I need 5+ tries because the page will refresh in the time of choosing... Unfortunately, adding a lock to the app in the app overview does not change anything.

Hi friend,
I'm just wondering if you're able to use desktop mode or anything similar with Arrow OS. A big feature I'm looking to use with the wifi tablet is desktop mode (connect keyboard and mouse)

There's a bug in that the on screen keyboard doesn't come up by default... So I plugged in a usb c hub with keyboard and mouse. All worked great.

Regular tablet mode, but I would expect that means your hardware should work as you expect. End of the day, you could easily flash back to stock.
