Hi, is the remix os for pc 2.0.202 release out? there's a release note on http://support.jide.com/hc/en-us website. but OTA update doesn't say so and download page isn't updated either.
Enable test builds in settings.
Its not out yet, probably getting it ready for release soon i hope, and hopefully we have audio this time around!
enable latest update in setting/about page and tap 5 time "Remix OS version" to show aditional update call "unstable update"(well its stable enough for me"
and the new update has new feauture, it has pre-rooted native apps in it ( no need to install superuser or any other root apps anymore)
just do install remix os beta update to latest 2.0.202 and replace init.img file with one that have R/W in system, cause original init.img file still only has R/O system
note : backup ur original init file for next update, cause OTA update without original init file will fail..
Ok, I was able to download the update this morning! Not sure what was added or fixed but i was sad to see audio is still not working
this remix os never worked on my computer, the installation never finish successfully . I wonder if it's a matter of driver, like my asus essence stx sound card.
Go to Setting then "About" and tap "Remix OS version" 5 times to show (unstable update). Then go back to Settings click on "Update", click on the 3 little dots (options), click "System update version options", then select "Unstable version", and go back to "Update" and it will be there.
I downloaded and placed the initrd.img into the Remix OS folder, but when any app asks for root it fails with message "libc.so is 32 bit"
Anyone know what's going on? I installed 64 bit version.

My init.img file was by default R/W... Tried a few apps that said i do not have root access and or missing superuser... Downloaded a build.prop editor to fix opengl settings and they wont stick...
Any help would be appreciated, im trying to get gameloft games to stop force closing on startup per https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/remix-os-for-pc/-UZXopMPj6o
*note my opengl settings were by default already set to "131072" but this is not working for gameloft games.

What actually opengl es version is supported by ur GPU driver in remix os , u can find it in setting/about page at the bottom, try change the value with proper version reported

You can use that to mount system.img or data.img under windows to a virtual drive

The 202 update shows in the update box as being downloaded. I am then given the option to reboot and install, but when I do, nothing changes. Does my installation have to be rooted first? I have Remix installed on the hard drive (SSD) of my Acer Timeline 1810TZ.

I have a similar problem. I'm running 2.0.102 as the only OS on an Acer touch-screen laptop that is booting from a 64GB SSD. Everything is working fine.
However, the Update window shows that Remix OS 2.0.202 B2016040501 has been downloaded.
When I click the "Reboot and Install button", the machine verifies the OTA package and reboots.
Problem is: the OS hasn't been updated at all and I'm still in 2.0.102, even though "Options / Automatically install updates" is turned on.
A step-by-step guide on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Its an error in the script. I get the same eroor, but it's because I installed as ext4 to it's own partition using the Android x86 installer.
The update package is looking for system.img, and if it doesn't find it, it will throw a status 7 error. My system is installed as writeable to sda3, along with /data.
I'd love to figure this out, not only for me but others as well.

Go to the update section, click the 3 dots and disable experimental updates. That usually messes it up.

Are you by chance rooted? If you are the update will fail. The script gives an error message do you remember what it was? Also what kind of set up do you have USB, hard disk, etc.
well the ota's have sha1 checks and cannot be used if /system is installed R/W
That really doesn't make much sense since the update doesn't work on either my hdd installed version (ext4) OR the version I have on the USB flash drive (FAT32 system.img).
Error is similar to what you would get from an open installer script (Status 7).
Hello I just updated my system to 202 version using the ota update and after the actual update I had a reboot then I'm stuck in the [email protected]_x86_64 line...
Any ideas?

Not a bad idea, I need to hit the hay at the moment because I am leaving for a work trip early am. So go for it bud! Just make sure to be super detailed[emoji14]
Also please note, I tried using the ota to update to a test release a few days ago... Same issue then. I chalked that up to it being a test release... But if I recall build dates and version numbers correctly, this stable release is the same release as my failed "test" build.

I had the same issue. I got it booting by adding nouveau.modeset=0 i915.modeset=1 to the menu.lst file in remixos installation folder. However the laptop seems to run hotter than the older version. Also I notice chrome cannot be resized to be less than half screen horizontally and the amazon appstore your apps>cloud does not work properly so I can't download apps i had previously gotten from them.
I have exactly the same problem. Is there a way to update or to prepare the system from the Terminal ?
Because i have only the remix OS on my Laptop
Update of Remix OS which has been installed using the Android x86 installer
If you have a Remix OS system which was set up with the Android x86 installer in an ext4 file system looking like this:
http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=german,
an OTA update is not possible (creating the message "update failed").
There is a workaround, if you create an USB flash drive containing the current version: The android directory must have the name of the current version, and all system files (i.e. all directories and files other than data) have to be deleted. A new Android x86 installation without formatting the ext4 partition will create updated system files and preserve the data directory (just updating it).
Link: Update for Remix OS installations .
Until now I was testing Remix on a flash drive, most of the stuff is running great, so I think it's time to try it on the HD.
So here's the question, it's possible to install RemixOS on HD without create partition?
I want Remix to be installed in a regular folder in my HD, with an option to select it in the OS selector when PC starts, and I want it to use data.img instead of something else... Basically just like Phoenix OS.
Is this possible?
Thx..
Cheers...

Thanks, I already saw this...
But in this guide it's not clear what the installation tool will do, if it will create partitions, if it will format something etc... Take the USB installation as an example, I never thought it would create 3 partitions on it...
That's why I'm asking this... Besides, I saw many people unable to boot into Windows after some sort of HD installation of Remix.
Have you tried this method of installation?
If yes, how is the structure of the directory, what files are in there, is it using data.img?
Cheers...

The hard drive installation will create a folder called "RemixOS" and add a boot entry for it in the Windows boot loader. In that folder is the kernel, initrd.img, system.img, menu.lst and some other files. An 8 GB data.img will be created on first boot. Those who have problems with booting are typically using a third-party method to install it.

It appears that for the issue mentioned in the link you posted the solution is to simply disable Secure Boot. I don't have much experience with UEFI myself, but on a BIOS system the installer worked perfectly, it didn't break either Windows or Linux Mint.

Fortunately (I hope) I'm on BIOS as well, cause I heard somewhere that disabling secure boot prevents Windows to boot. I don't know if it's a Windows requirement on UEFI machines...
Now it's time to build courage to install it....

I expanded the data.img using this tutorial (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/android-tp2/138623-how-get-bigger-data-img.html). Don't mind the fact that it was originally made for Windows Mobile devices running Android on SD card, the concept is the same (add zeros to the end of data.img, then expand the partition table in the data.img to cover the extra space).

Where I can choose this, in the installation tool?
And does it take too long to boot? I'm asking this because I expanded the data.img of Phoenix OS, and since then it takes a lot more time to boot.

nope, as long as your data.img is much smaller than your actual harddisk, you will have no problems with speed.
yes, the instalation tool asks you what size you want to use, either 8, 16 or 32 GB can be chosen

Why another tutorial?
As I searched the net and XDA for a guide to actually install Remix OS and found nothing that worked for me I decided to share with you guys how I managed to install it in Resident Mode. Writing this from XDA Labs on my PC now... For me I found out that the Remix OS installer is totally useless - with some copying from Remix OS folder to root folder of the created partition and manually adding UEFI entry I managed it to boot in Guest Mode but Resident Mode was still not working (bootloop). This started to make me mad as I tried so many tutorials already...
So I tried Phoenix OS and it seemed at first that this one was much better - no need for adding UEFI boot entry or experiencing Windows boot entry problems and such as it installs GRUB and boots the OS just fine. First entry in GRUB is Windows, second one Phoenix OS. Well, started it and it booted up... finally! Used it, wanted to install an app and ran into a random reboot. After a while I recognized that these random reboots happened quite often and the system was unusable for me. So my idea was just to replace Phoenix OS files with Remix OS files as the booting part was already working... and guess... it worked! You can't choose Guest Mode though, but I think you won't need that at all on your PC.
Best one on this: you won't need to open your BIOS start-menu and can boot up normally, just choose your system in GRUB bootloader which appears automatically without the need to do anything before. I find it quite annoying to hit BIOS button to start Remix OS, don't you too? So if you are able to install but don't like that behaviour this tutorial is also for you!
So here it is...
On which machines does this work?
Should be working on all PCs / Laptops running Windows 10 with GPT and UEFI BIOS. Probably also works on machines with MBR instead of GPT partition table and legacy Bios, quite sure this works also on older Windows versions (7/8/8.1). Just let me know if it works for you or doesn't.
How to install
(1)
- Create an NTFS partition on which you want to install it (right, no FAT32 crap!). It should be at least 32 GB.
If you don't know how just search XDA or Google. There are several Remix OS installing tutorials on YouTube which show how to do that in Windows.
(2)
- Download Phoenix OS 1.0.9 RC
- Download Remix OS or Remix OS Hacked Edition if you like to have root and some tweaks for it.
I used Hacked Edition.
(3)
- Use Phoenix OS installer and install it on your created partition (make sure you got the correct drive letter! I'm not responsible if you don't and lose your data...), don't reboot.
- Open the created partition in Explorer.
Create a folder named RemixOS, move all files from PhoenixOS to RemixOS.
(Obviously Phoenix is based on Remix and expects it's data to be in RemixOS folder. Funny bug. ;D)
- Reboot. Choose Remix OS.
Enjoy the nice, buggy OS. For some this may be just everthing they need. If you're happy and experience no reboots or other bugs you should be just fine and don't have to follow the next steps.
(4)
- Reboot to Windows.
- Unzip Remix OS archive - should be 2 files: Remix OS image and installer. You could safely delete the installer as you won't need it.
Use 7zip or Winrar (or whatever) to extract the Remix OS image file into a folder.
- Move the contents of that extracted folder into the RemixOS folder on your created partition. Overwrite everything. You could also extract the image file directly into RemixOS folder.
(5)
- Reboot. Choose Remix OS.
- Done.
You now should be running a working Remix OS in Resident Mode. Works fine here.
Be nice and hit thanks if I could help you.

Hi.
Does that mean that the installation of Phoenix OS erase all the data in that partition?

I'm not sure about that, only used it on a freshly formatted partition. Mentioned this just to make sure not to be blamed if it should do so.
There's a few things off with these instructions:
1. PhoenixOS does not use a RemixOS folder
2. PhoenixOS's grub.cfg won't boot any RemixOS version especially x64 - as PhoenixOS is 32bit only.
stock phoenixos grub.cfg
Code:
menuentry 'Phoenix OS' --class android-x86 {
search --set=root --file /efi/PhoenixOS/kernel
linux /efi/PhoenixOS/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86 SRC=/PhoenixOS vga=788
initrd /efi/PhoenixOS/initrd.img
}
Something else is going on here. Perhaps the phoenixOS's grub.efi is being used; but it's using the RemixOS grub.cfg. But I think it's just the RemixOS .efi/.cfg and something just switched the default bootloader to grub2 from WBM

Maybe, my deeper technical know-how about that is very limited, but I know that it works for me - reproducible. This is just for those like me who tried literally every guide on the net and still none worked. This one probably will. Myself, I find that kind of strange, too and I'm not able to explain why, but it does work. It's just a try and error thing, but for me it works - as already mentioned: reproducible. Got an i7 2nd gen and a X79 Gigabyte Mainboard.

I'm not saying it doesn't work; but what appears to be happening is that the first 'failed' RemixOS installation added things [to efi/esp partition]. And the PhoenixOS install added or replaced something that made the first install work correctly - it could be either the PhOS grub.efi [although that's 32bit] or as simple as it changing your default bootloader.
Download EasyUEFI if you can and see what's in the first partition - I'm just personally curious as to what is going on here.
I'm also using a non-Jide released grub [like Ubuntu users would be - but with a different setup]

Download EasyUEFI if you can and see what's in the first partition - I'm just personally curious as to what is going on here.
I'm also using a non-Jide released grub [like Ubuntu users would be - but with a different setup]

Sounds very possible... Got EasyUEFI installed but I'm at work atm. Will tell/show you what's in there later this evening when I'm home. The strangest thing I didn't get: original RemixOS booted fine after copying RemixOS folder content to root - but only guest mode worked, not resident. But I mentioned that already in OP. The whole thing would have been a lot easier if I didn't ditch my Arch Linux for RemixOS (for GRUB's sake... ;D), but there were less things to learn...
These instructions didn't work for me, except for the fact that I didn't create a partition. Phoenix would come up as a boot choice but would boot loop.

I'm installed with installer download from oficial site. But after selected Remix OS from booting selection menu, i got two option:
Android
Android( Debug mode)
Them always gave me this message:
--set--root /Android/system.img
Error 15: file not found
When i came back to previous screen, then press E, i have this
--set--root /Android/system.img
/kernel /Android/kernel (many things here)
initrd /android/initrd.img
I replaced Android with RemixOS, it continue and then i stuck at

The official installer doesn't install into an Android folder; so I don't think you installed correctly.
However if you find your grub.cfg [or menu.lst] and change it to --set--root /Android/kernel you should be fine.
If you can't find the grub/menu.lst then add a file called system.img to the Android folder [copying and renaming the initrd.img is probably the simplest way to do it]
@percynguyen92 are you sure u used the official installer? Did you install Remix OS before with unofficial methods?

I downloaded from jide.com. i have checked md5sum. I searched many files with "Android" word including grub.cfg and menu.lst. Coundn't find any. My remix os use system.sfs, not system.img, what can i do?
@Vioner i have installed alpha version before with easybcd

Ah with legacy/bios it's menu.lst - not sure how to get to that. I do think you are loading the grub you used previously with easybcd rather than the one instaaled with the jide tool. So ideally boot to your bios and see is there a different boot entry you can launch. Alternatively as said before add a blank/garbage file called system.img into that folder - grub just wants to find it; it will actually use the system.sfs to run Remix [or you can press e on every boot and change system.img to system.sfs]
@percynguyen92 like HypoTurtle said - your PC instead of trying to start current Remix, starts alpha because of the old bootloader files /boot entries. It's probably just the old menu.lst file.
I don't know much about legacy booting, but you should be able to fix this with EasyBCD or by accessing the bootloader files and wiping the alpha version files.

i will try debug mode tomorrow
I also had this issue, once I tried to install Android x86 on my PC and I think it fu*ked something in boot...
Today I fixed it finally....
With this command:
Code:
bootsect /nt60 SYS /mbr
I'm not sure if it will work when Windows is booted, but I've used Windows install disc, booted it, and somewhere in repair PC is also command option....

I'm also not a IT pro, Google search is my friend
Here is a step by step guide

But in step 4, do not type those 4 commands (bootrec ....). but type command from my previous post, wait until it is done, close command window and reboot....

You should also be able to restore the bcd [like what this does] with EasyBCD itself.
okay, i'm gonna buy a SSD, just money problem now. May be change hard drive and fresh install Windows 10 may fix this issue. Thanks guys!
