Remix Os for non x64 - Remix OS for PC

Is there a plan of releasing a Version for x86 cpu?
I have an older netbook where the cpu is not x64 compatible, is there maybe a way to make it work there .
Because windows is very slow on it and i can`t find the right linux disto for me.

Simple answer is no. You cannot.
As far as linux is concerned, go to sourceforge and get a slimmed down linux iso. There are so many wonderful ones, even I use it. Slimmed linux distros are very light on the system, with all useless apps removed.

There will be a 32bit version released soon.

Call for folio100 developers: windows 8 on folio?

I think that a porting ss possible but the windows 8 preview platform releas today is not for ARM acritecture right?
As soon as possibile hope that some devel will be a windows 8 port for folio 100.
let me know what U thinking.
thanks.
Yes, I heared for it but not arm version . I saw a post that say that windows 8 arm version will be for TEGRA 2(and some others arm processors)!!!
Hmmm, Windows is ugly in my opinion (sorry, I'm a Linux fan)... But, anyway, I don't think it's good for Folio as the RAM requirements won't fit... Heard it need at least 1Gb of RAM
That and Windows 8 won't be open source. That mean you can't do any porting work(with system you can do something but with kernel nothing)

[Q] Win XP/7 on Android

hi,
is there any chance to get windows xp or windows 7 running on my note?
i dont want a dual.
something like virtualbox would be nice.
i already serached, but i only found one nice ubuntu guide and a win 95 one.
i know that smartphone are not build to run a windows os aber guys you are the best.
Teamviewer and remote desktop not the solution
thank you
I don't think you're going to have much joy. Windows 7 and XP are built for x86/x64 architectures, the Note has an ARM CPU and I know of no cross-architecture virtualisation software for Android, or ARM for that matter.
Windows 8 will have an ARM build, so that's a more likely proposition for the future.

[Q] running OS Ubuntu on Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 4.0 a.k.a Samsung YP-G1CW/XSE

Hello guys, before the question, i am sorry if i am little english. i look some website that running Ubuntu on Android Device.
I am sorry i am new user in this site, so i can't using outside links in this posting, but you will find if you search on google about this.
i have some question about this case:
1. i am using Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 4.0 a.k.a Samsung YP-G1CW/XSE what ubuntu can running on my device?
2. How with OS Windows? what windows can running on my Device? Windows XP may be, or Windows 7..
Please Help me, i need to running other OS on my Android Device.. Thank's Before for your answer
There are two ways to run another OS on your device: chroot and qemu. You can run Ubuntu (or any Linux distribution that supports ARM processors) with little effort using the chroot method. Look up "Ubuntu installer free" in the store and it will walk you through. It may not work on the stock kernel, so make sure you have the kernel from these forums that fits your device.
The only way to run an OS like Windows is by virtualization through qemu, because it doesn't natively support the chip in your Galaxy S Wifi. This method requires a version of qemu compiled for ARM and additional libraries, which I have not gotten to work successfully on this device. (Anyone else?)
So I'd suggest just trying to get Ubuntu running. It won't be very fast or easy to use on a device that small, but it will work.

Thanks Very much for your solution, i will try search, qemu method or chroot methode.. hope i will can do it, because i am new for it. i am not a developer, or programmer. i just want to know more about gad-get
so thanks a lot.

Windows vs VM vs Linux

So i been developing actual apps for about 6 months, and want to get into customizing rooms, so i see that alot of you guys use cygwin, a virtual machine or linux and wanted to know if its really worth it running linux natively instead of a vm or cygwin...
if yes, then whats the general opinion on linux vs osx?
I have definitely used all three with good success. If you are RAM limited on your machine, skip the virtual machine option since you need enough RAM to run your base OS and the VM separately. One advantage to running linux natively is that you are forced to think in the linux world, which for an Android behind the curtain point of view is closer to the mentality you need. You might learn some good stuff familiarizing yourself with linux that later applies to your Android exploits!

I'm using win7 with andLinux installed. Unfortunately andLinux is based on Ubuntu 9.04 so I can't use most toolchains built on newer distro because they need newer versions of glibc.
So I'm forced to use CodeSourcery's toolchain which uses it's own glibc.

[Q] Any scope of development on Windows?

can some1 just tell me if developpment has any scope using windows os
can i build cm form source without linux or ubuntu
I have not started on tutorials since most of them advice to use linux or ubuntu
so if there is a way to development on windows can u all tell me, how it is possible
or a tutorial ?
Just so u know my computer has 2gb ram and intel hd graphics
so i cant run emulators
Thnx in advance

As a beginner, I would suggest you start with windows/Linux mint. Linux/Ubuntu are for more advanced users and thus provide less friendly interface. There might be a dispute which OS is best. For Android, I would suggest LINUX.
Development requires large amount of disk space (up to 200-500gb); very fast PC (8 or more recommended) high end PC (icore 5 but icore7 recommended)
You might be able to start on windows for small projects with your PC but algorithms would take 6-12 hours rather than half an hour on a high end PC. I know many developers using minimal PC to work so it means more time for processes to finish.
For example
UBUNTU might be better because android is developed under linux with java base. So using Windows might need some adjustments while development. Also, Eclipse is preferred for all development for Android.(programme name)
As android is based on linux, using same base/framework is a key advantage. Ubuntu/Linux is that's why preferred so no more adjustments are made and thus its quicker to develop on Linux. This is because of same internal architecture used by Linux/ubuntu and Android.All Android applications use Linux as its base and java libraries for programming. Java and Linux both being open source can easily be synchronized. The simulation on Linux platform is also fast as compared to windows. You can even download some system files patches for Linux if there is any compatibility problem but it is not possible for windows.
Android/Java/Linux are all open sourced(libraries n API)and easier to debug.
Linux mint is more friendly than Ubuntu in comparision in my opinion.
Another advantage of Linux/ubuntu is booting time/quick interface as windows easily gets laggy after some time.
In the end it comes to user preference.It takes a variety of tools to make software, including drawing tools, so the OS is not that important but helpful to have both Linux and Win. You will need code editors and drawing tools.

Yea the emulator for testing didnt even bootup till now
ill just have to postpone advanced development until i get a newer pc
My last Question....
does android kitchen support this device?
or partially supported? or anything close?

for developing android apps.. windows works.. and a fair computer will do... unless you plan to develop something huge...
AVD's have problem with low specs on windows.... try emulating with GenyMotion
and unless you have a gpu.. the graphics won't really matter much..
and as far as building android/cm goes.. you need linux or mac os..
you could build on virtual box.. if you had whopping 16 gb of ram..
maybe cygwin works.. but i don;t know...
and it isn't hard to install ubuntu alongside windows.. all you need is a usb drive and a x64 live cd from their website.. and some patience..
ubuntu is just feels out of place for first time windows user... if you used Mac Os.. it' s easy.. the dock and the universal title bar are not hard to get.. after some time you will be more comfortable with ubuntu than windows.. or that was the case for me..
you need processing power of cpu for building... sure you can build on a p4.. but time is a great factor here.. i7 can compile faster than i5.. and it goes like that..
by the way.. i know a guy who built cm on a 4gb ram and intel core duo... took around 7 hours he said..

buddy you don't need to download the whole 12gb of source code..
if you only plan to build for a specific device... you don't need the all platform codes for arm/ mips/ x86 or prebuilt binaries for mac os and x86 and x64..
you can select only required prebuilts and projects for your current device and current os by creating an xml file with some modifications in
.repo/local_manifests directory.. then you can reduce size of the source code...
and at 60kbps.. let's average that to 55 kb/ps... it would take around... 53 hours
but you can do continue syncing where you left off... kinda like pause and resume... so maybe in a week you will have the source code..
and just make source you sync the frameworks_base at last.. that one repository alone is over 1 gb.. O_O

So ur sayin I can pause during the repo sync command... ??
How can I do that... ??
Now I am really getting interested... but I hav exams right now and my laptop hard disk has failed... btw can you give me detailed explanation about building cm from source or atleast post a link to guide. .. I hav seen many guides but all of them are confusing...

well.. it's not pause.. it's like.. let's say you have already downloaded 16%.. and you stopped it that.. and turn off your pc..
next time you open pc and run repo sync.. it will check if sources have changed.. if not it will continue to sync from there..
it's just matter of copy and pasting commands to set up sources....it is not that hard..
hmmm... how about i set up the build environment for you on your laptop via ssh .. when your laptop is fixed.. pm me for your thoughts on this..
