Hi everyone.
In order to make the system fast and stable, the Remix OS wants a USB 3.0 stick. But few people really own one. Though USB 2.0 works too, the writing speed is too low and lags & crashes occurs. And in this guide we will be installing Remix OS on a hard disk, which is even faster than USB 3.0.
In my test (according to Remix OS), a...
USB 2.0 stick has a speed of 4.6M/s
USB 3.0 removable drive has a speed of 21.0M/s
SATA2 SSD Hard Disk has a EXCELLENT speed of 53.0M/s
Your device may even have a better score.
Code:
#include <disclaimer.h>
/* I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device
* You are doing this at your own risk.
* If you point at my nose for breaking your device
* I'll laugh at you
*/
As you can see, Remix USB tool is based on unetbootin and they didn't actually modify anything. They only removed some functions. And one of those functions is the ability to install on Hard disks, which is vital for us. So we will be using Unetbootin instead of Remix USB tools

Now let's start
1. Download Remix OS
HTML:
http://www.jide.com/en/remixos-for-pc#downloadNow
and unetbootin
HTML:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/?source=directory
2. Decompress and navigate to the iso you downloaded. Select Hard Disk from the drop menu, and choose the drive (NOT PARTITON) you wish to install Remix on.
WARNING: Installing on a drive that contains a OS may overwrite its bootloader and makes the OS no longer bootable. To dualboot, choose a standalone drive.
3. Click OK and wait until it finishes.
4. To start Remix OS, press F12 on your (BIOS or UEFI's) booting screen and select the drive you installed on.
That's it. Now you have a Remix OS on a Hard Disk. Like a real computer OS.
Enjoy and don't forget to press Thanks
P.S. If your drive is not detected by unetbootin, as I see in some replies , you can try Universal-USB-Installer (http://pendrivelinux.com) and select "Android" from the distribution drop-menu, browse to Remix ISO and check Show All Drives. Then you should have your Drive listed. This method also works fine and is tested by me.
My 7200rpm hdd works fine via USB2 with a USB3 adabter cable. I only notice slightly slower boot than when using USB3
I dont understand this: "step2: choose the drive (NOT PARTITON)"

You need to use a standalone disk instead of a partition inside a disk. See Disk Management for details. If you don't understand what partition is, Google.

In that case you can try Universal-USB-Installer (http://pendrivelinux.com) and select "Android" from the distribution drop-menu, browse to Remix ISO and check Show All Drives. Then you should have your Drive listed.

Hey guys, a little help here...
This is my desktop configuration (if it is needed for you guys):
64bit processor (AMD Phenom II X4 955)
Gigabyte Motherboard - legacy bios (I checked),
AMD Radeon HD 7750
4 Gigs of RAM
I tried to install/flash RemixOS (for Legacy BIOS) on USB 3.0 flash drive, whatever I do it won't boot: in resident mode it does its checks and reboots and give me again options for Resident and/or Guest mode. If I choose guest mode it gives me errors 8000 and 8001.
Then i tried to flash RemixOS on external USB 3.0 drive (no multiple partitions, just clean formated drive). I was able to flash it with Universal USB Installer (with name ''Android'' for the Iso image, and formatting FAT32). Even now it does not boot. I can't even get the screen for Resident and/or Guest mode, it just boots to my windows 10.
I followed instructions to the letter but everything fails... Am I still doing something wrong or my computer configuration is not compatible with this Alpha version???
Thx in advance
By doing this will it fully utilize the GPU withing the PC and/or Laptop? I have a Laptop with a Radeon GPU.

Pretty sure that if it is grayed out it means your computer is UEFI based, which means you would need to reinstall windows in the legacy mode of your PC to use this method.

I have same problem, my windows is boot via UEFI, so it can't boot from another OS
Here's my problem when run easyBCD
goes as far as remix text
Hello.
I followed the instructions and all seems to work but my computer boots, gets past Android logo, up comes REMIX text and then it just stays there with a small cursor flashing. I waited an hour but it goes no further. I am trying to bot 32 bit version and it works on same computer but from USB stick. Hoe long should it normally take from hard disk? From USB it took 10 mins.
Thanks

PRE-NOTE -
- This method doesn't work on 32-bit UEFI systems due to system limitations. However you may try the following guides which are reported to be working -
By @TP4LG
PREREQUISITE -
- Remix OS ISO (both 32-bit and 64-bit work)
- Grub2Win from [URL="http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub2win/"]http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub2win/
THE EASY METHOD -
1. Extract grub2win.zip anywhere and install using setup.bat in install folder. Tick "Create a shortcut on your desktop" for easy excess to application via desktop.
2. Create a folder named "RemixOS" in the root directory of any of your partitions. If you had used the Official RemixOS Installation Tool before this guide, the directory may already be created. Important: Backup your data.img by moving to some other directory. Use UninstallRemixOS.exe to remove the current installtion.
3. Copy and paste the folder efi and the the following files from your RemixOS ISO to "RemixOS" folder you created earlier-
-initrd.img
-install.img
-kernel
-ramdisk.img
-system.img
*data.img, if you had installed RemixOS previously.
4. Copy and paste the grub.cfg (inside the appropriate zip attached in this post. 32-bit ISO adopters use grub32-bit.zip and 64-bit ISO adopters use grub64-bit.zip) to "X:\grub2" (where X is the drive letter of the partition where you installed Grub2Win).
*RUN grub2win program once and click OK button so that Grub2Win BCD entry is created.
5. Reboot and select "Grub 2 For Windows". After it loads, select RemixOS - Resident Mode. That's it!
*You may skip the following method and jump directly to POST-NOTES.
A LITTLE ADVANCED METHOD -
*The first 3 steps are the same as the easy method.
4. Run Grub2Win program from desktop.
5. Click "Manage Boot Menu" Button.
6. Click "Add A New Entry" in Grub2Win Menu Configuration Window.
7. Select OS Type as android. Change title to "Remix OS - Resident Mode". Under "Automatically Generate Configuration Code For Android", change Search By Boot Directory to /RemixOS.
*pay attention that slash is used (/) and not backslash (\)
8. Under Linux Boot Parms, replace the existing code with this -
If you're using 64-bit ISO -
Code:
androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet DATA= SRC=RemixOS CREATE_DATA_IMG=1
IF you're using 32-bit ISO -
Code:
androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet DATA= SRC=RemixOS CREATE_DATA_IMG=1
9. Click on Apply, and then OK.
10. Click on Apply, and then OK. Then click close. Reboot and select "Grub 2 For Windows". After it loads, select RemixOS - Resident Mode.
POST-NOTES -
1. I've tried this method and it works fine on my Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with BIOS mode legacy. It should work on EFI systems (64-bit only) and 64-bit or 32-bit "legacy" systems as well. If you get any error, please report it, I'll try to provide a fix.
2. I already had the data.img and it booted fine. Initialize Data Partition may take time if you don't have it already, and as the Remix OS says - please be patient.
3. You can change Grub graphics mode and OS graphics to the best suited resolution. You may change Boot Pause Seconds too. It won't break anything.
Comment below if this method works for you. Especially the ones with UEFI systems.
I also did something similar...but using EasyBCD.
Nice sharing.

I tried too!
But couldn't get it booting from a subfolder inside a drive (it was stuck on detecting android x86).
So had to go with Grub2win
Update : Actually grub4dos (used by neogrub) doesn't support mapping a subdirectory as hard drive or partition (tried hard to find a method but couldn't find it)

Still native mount support for internal hard disk partitions was missing (we need to use stick mount and ES File Explorer for that)
Hope native support will be there in the beta

Grub2Win will not work on Asus T100
I just wanted to give this a try before I created a partition, but Grub2Win will not run on Asus T100 as this is 32 bit windows. I get error when I start Grub2Win "EFI mode requires 64 bit windows."
Right in "https://sourceforge.net/projects/grub2win/files/" it clearly states......
On EFI systems, you must be running 64 bit Windows. BIOS systems can run either 64 or 32 bit Windows.
I guess EasyBCD is the way for me now.

Yes definitely go for it
Or wait till the beta comes out on 1st March...
Update : There is a way but that's much more complicated than just creating a partition.

i have a external HDD here ( Freeagent Desk 1TB ) which is connected via usb cable...
I have tested the r/w speed, and the write speed is somewhere around 20-22mb/s
i am planning to install remix os in it but will partition 32gb space out of the 1Tb... is that okay?
i am using this 1TB as a storage device backup for my android files/mp3/windowsOS/software and docs...

If you're talking about partitioning your external hard drive, you really don't need to (as stated in the post)
All you need to do is create a folder "RemixOS" in the root of your portable drive (or any folder if you go for the advanced method) and copy the the stated files in that folder.
If you want to have a data partition larger than 4 GB (that's the default size when you install RemixOS), you can use RMXtools by @imadlatch. Once you create it just copy it to the folder you created. And boot using Grub2win... It boots (just tested it on my USB drive)

This thread is about how to install RemixOS on HDD without data.img or any size restriction. No need to for any tools to increase RemixOS size.
Update: The more I spend time on this the more I learn new things. We dont need ubuntu to edit grub.cfg. It can be done using Diskpart within Windows.
So the only thing we need Ubuntu right now is to copy the RemixOS files to ext4 partition before we begin installation.
Update 2:If you can boot using gparted (http://gparted.org) then you can directly copy the files to new partition. So no need for Ubuntu. Just copy the Remix ISO files to a subfolder in gparted USB. Once gparted is loaded, open terminal, reformat new partition to ext4, mount it and copy Remix ISO files from USB to partition. Now you can boot from Remix USB and install to this new ext4 partition.
Code:
sudo mkdir /home/user/RemixDir
suod mount -t ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p5 /home/user/RemixDir
sudo cp -r /lib/live/mount/medium/Remix32/* /home/user/RemixDir
/dev/mmcblk0p5 is the partition as seen from gparted.
/lib/live/mount/medium/ is the mount point of gparted USB drive as seen in gparted.

This is a long thread make sure you read it once before you actually do it. This is long because I documented every step.
Have 2 speedy SD USB3 cards. I am using Sandisk Ultra 64GB & 32GB. You can get away with one but you have to keep reloading Ubuntu and Remix.
Download and install EasyUEFI on Asus T100 from http://easyuefi.com/index-us.html
Download Universal-USB-Installer from http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
Download Rufus 2.7 Portable from http://rufus.akeo.ie/
Download latest Ubuntu ISO and create bootable USB using Universal-USB-Installer. I am using Ubuntu 15.10. Also, Rufus cannot create persistent Ubuntu.
a. Make the USB persistent. We will need Ubuntu often.
Get the bootia32.efi for your device from anywhere as Ubuntu does not provide it in their Amd64 ISO. The bootia32.efi from RemixOS did not work for me. For my ASUS T100, I got it from http://www.jfwhome.com/2016/01/04/latest-steps-to-install-ubuntu-on-the-asus-t100ta/ and place under /EFI/Boot folder in Ubuntu USB.
Download RemixOS 32-bit zip and extract it somewhere. Use Rufus to load Remix32 ISO to SD card. Universal-USB-Installer created USB will not boot.
Open the Remix OS SD card. Go to efi/boot and edit grub.cfg. We don’t need to put Windows entry here as we will do it later after everything is done.
Code:
menuentry 'RemixOS' --class android-x86 {
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /kernel
set root='hd1,gpt5'
linuxefi /kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive INSTALL=1
initrdefi /initrd.img
}
Extract Remix ISO as well. Create a folder in Ubuntu USB called Remix32 and copy contents of Remix ISO to Remix32 folder in Ubuntu USB.
Start Windows on ASUS T100 and create new partition using Disk Management. Label it RemixOS. I would rather do it here than from Ubuntu so I don’t mess up Windows. Does not matter what filesystem you use here as you will format again from Ubuntu.
Connect Ubuntu USB to ASUS
Now boot Asus T100 and hit delete key like crazy to get into boot setup. If you see ASUS logo you are too late.
Disable secure boot and make Ubuntu USB first boot option. Save changes and restart.
When you see Try Ubuntu screen press CTRL+ALT+DEL, screen should resize to native resolution. Then select Try Ubuntu and let Ubuntu load.
Open Files, you should see RemixOS partition. Right click and select format.

Select Custom typeName: RemixOSFilesystem: ext3 (I tried ext4 before but had lot of problems running RemixOS so changed to ext3. You can use ext4 if you have problem with ext3.)
After format complete, select Computer -> cdrom. This is the Ubuntu USB folder. You should have RemixOS folder here. Copy the content from this folder to RemixOS partition you created above.
Shutdown Ubuntu, plug Remix32 USB and get to boot from it.
You will see only RemixOS option here. You can press C and go to grub> prompt. Type ls to see all your partitions and make sure RemixOS partition has files are at ls (hd1,gpt5)/
If you see this message, something was not copied over from Remix32 ISO to new partition.
Android-x86 installer is not available
Press RETURN to run live version
After you answer/choose following options, Choose to Run Android-x86 not Reboot. You will be at RemixOS logo and install will continue and complete.
If you are reinstalling RemixOS after say changing partition from ext3 to ext4 or updating/upgrading RemixOS, skip Grub and Grub2 install.
But do over-write system.
Once reboot, you will not see RemixOS/Windows yet. It is still Windows only.
[*]Now we will boot Ubuntu again.
[*]This is where Linux purists are gonna kill me. I don’t know any other way to show Windows + RemixOS boot option, so if you know please let me know and I will update my post.
[*]Open Disks application in Ubuntu.
[*]Select EFI partition and mount it.
Lets boot Windows, open Admin Command Prompt and type Diskpart. Once in, type List Volume to see all partitions on disk. Select volume and then assign a drive letter to it. You can now edit grub.cfg.
Open grub.cfg from efi/boot and add Windows 10 entry as follows. This is a one time process, you dont have to redo this if you upgrade RemixOS, but if you over-write grub, this is needed.
Code:
set timeout=30
set gfxmode=1024x768
terminal_output gfxterm
menuentry "Remix OS" {
search --set=root --file /android-2016-03-01/kernel
linuxefi /android-2016-03-01/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive
initrdefi /android-2016-03-01/initrd.img
}
menuentry "Windows 10" {
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
chainloader (${root})/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
We are not done yet . Now lets go back into Windows and open EasyUEFI
Create a new Linux or Other OS entry and select bootia32.efi from EFI partition. Make this first boot option as we will load Windows too from this. You should already have Windows entry pointing to right efi,
Second partition should just have Microsoft related files. If you see something that does not belong here, use Diskpart in Windows or Disks in Ubuntu to delete them.
Finally after 30 steps, restart and you have your RemixOS. Go ahead and install Google Play and if you get any error installing apps from play store, just remove your account from the device and add it again.
Enjoy....
Dude thanks I have a t100 that I could install the alpha on and this one nothing. I also have a Minix that run windows and I could never get the alpha working. The beta couldn't work on anything. What I did after a lot of tries was just copy all the files to a USB stick and use your grub file but I removed the 0,5 part for the HD. What happen was that when it loaded resident mode, it just formated the stick by itself and now it works !
Thanks you so much
Thanks bro, finally my VivoTab M81C its working with your method. Do you have all yours sensors working? (WiFi, bluetooth, gyroscope and GPS) I can just makeit work WiFi.

I know how frustrating it is when everyone in the world can install it except us, all I can say is take it in steps. If your device does not even boot when you select Recovery or Guest mode, just press c and go to grub> prompt. From there try playing with grub commands as listed at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Commands. It might or might not work but you will learn something about grub
<Edit> Wanted to to add, when at grub> prompt type ls. It will list out your partitions, then if you try ls (hd0, gptN) where N is your partition, you will know what file system it is. You can they enter that info in grub.cfg or reboot and command edit (e) and add it there.
Depending on how much time you are ready to spend on getting RemixOS installed, you can search askubuntu. Usually you will get an idea about what is involved in getting ISO to boot in 32 bit EFI. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/392719/32-bit-uefi-boot-support.
Good luck.
Thanks for sharing your grub.cfg. I was already on the right track, but since I didn't know the syntax or the path to the Windows bootloader I couldn't do much more than make a Windows entry in the boot menu that didn't actually do anything. I was going nuts trying to find the proper grub entry for Windows. Now my Toshiba Encore 2 is dual booting perfectly. If only there was a way to install Remix on a NTFS partition, instead, so I could have more than 4gb of data... Just FYI, the 64-bit Remix works just fine; just point grub to the 64-bit file instead of the 32-bit file in your cfg.
Nice share
I tried almost everything, but nothing worked for 32-bit UEFI Windows users, because my system is legacy only and I couldn't test any of the methods myself but you can help them. Can I post a link to your post on my post?

Sure you can. More people helped the better.
I feel lot of people have these great budget ultrabooks/netbooks which for any corporate reason never got software that the hardware deserved.
I modified this to run on my 64-bit T100HA, but just changing the 32-bit references to 64. It boots, but I am stuck with the same black screen I had when I used the bundled in Installer. I guess it just doesn't work for me. I'm giving it to my wife, and buying a Nook or Kindle Fire for comics. Kinda bummed.

Hurray! This worked for me - at least Remix OS is creating data right now. i just had to do one more thing:
- add the bootia32.efi from remix os volume into the efi trusted file and put remix os at the top of boot list directly from efi setup
- everything works. Clearly for Play store to work decently you need to remove unknown source AND set good time zone.
- now i was wondering if there is a way to change the size of the data.img to use most of my 16gb partition for remix os

What format is your SD card?
I've not tried it, but maybe, you can keep your boot files (efi or isolinux) to the fat32 drive and move your all other files such as kernel, data.img, system.img, etc to an NTFS drive, overcoming the size limitation.

If you could try one thing that would great. This might help many to achieve a data size partition greater than 4 gb
1. Moving all the files to an NTFS drive (keeping the EFI and isolinux folders in your current FAT32).
2. If that doesn't work, moving the kernel file back to your FAT32 drive.
3. If that fails too, moving initrd.img back to your FAT32 drive too.
4. If that fails, moving system.img back to your FAT32 partition too. (means in the end just leaving data.img on an NTFS partition)

I already tried something similar. I tried to install RemixOS on ext4 partition. It uses the entire partition size for OS, no data.img needed at all. But the downside is it does not turn WIFI ON. I can see lot of "intent" errors in logcat when I switch to prompt window by pressing ALT+F1 in RemixOS and typing logcat at the prompt.
I will try your suggestion later today and post results to this thread.

This tells the boot manager to look for the kernel file to boot and initrd.img.
Regarding to look for boot.efi, that you already specify in your bios settings.
Now the question is, do we need to specify an argument to detect system.img and data.img or is that automatically done?

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_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?

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!

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!

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.

Single boot remix os
Hi all. is there any way to boot remix os from hdd. i have installed remix os from usb use "install=1" its worked for me. i have 32 bit uefi .
Hi! I have a question? I have tablet Acer Asire switch 10E and i guess iam able to do do all the steps in the tutorial however, I have already tried once but I was trynig to install normal Android instead, but instalation was kind of same and I remember it that the instalater asked me: Do you want to install grub-2 bootloader? I hit "yes" but then when i restarted the laptop i messed up with windows entry completely eventhogh I installed it on seperated HDD partion... So question is: is it gonna be the same case here? I do not wanna destroy my laptop again, but I wanna try it! Can anyone help me? Note: My laptop does not have real HDD. It has some kind of EMMC and I know that grup call it as mmcblk(number of partion)
The last output is:
intel powerclamp does not run on family 15 model 4
intel_rapl: driver does not support CPU family 15 model 4
I have a screenshot, but links are not allowed for n00bs.
And then, black screen, with the machine still running (fans spinning and screen does display black screen but does not go to "no input" mode).
I also have a similar problem. How are you getting that last output? Mine asks guest/ resident then what language... then I get black screen.

I did not do anything to get the last output, it appears underneath the "guest/resident" selection before it goes to black.
I can share a picture of it whenever i have made 10 comments because of security reasons of this forum.
Lol. What about posting it on Photobucket and giving a link on here?

I have the same problem ( black screen ) after booting new Remix 3.0.101 ... ( Samsung laptop AMD / ufi )... Before last update I have not this problem ...This build needed much work yet..Many errors
Many desktops will have this issue due to video drivers not being included with Remix. Even with other Linux OS's, this will happen with proprietary video drivers. On Linux you have to use "nomodeset" to make the OS bootable so that you can install graphic drivers. "Nomodestet" can be used with Remix, but you won't be able to install drivers, and people have reported it's painfully slow.
At this time, the only way to dependably run Remix on a desktop is by either USB, or in a virtual machine. Remix runs just fine in a virtual machine.
Hi all, using a Samsung ativ pc pro xe700t1c-a04uk
dual boot: Windows 10 pro / android remix os 3.0
screen 11.6 full hd 1080p
cpu intel core i5-3317u quad core
ram 4gb
gpu intel hd 4000 (128mb dedicated)
hdd 256gb msata ssd
I run remix os 3.0 from a 64GB 544/MBs msata drive in a usb 3.0 enclosure.
Very fast system. Everything working including apps and games and all hardware (touchpen/touchscreen/gyro/accele/light/nfc/otg/gamepad/cam/mic/sound/gfx/etc).
Problem: Its not a major problem but the screen dimming or brightness control dosent work and thats the only problem.
The samsung ative pc pro xe700t1c is by far the most superior convertible laptop/tablet in the world!
Request to developers:
Can you please implement the sim function for internet and calling. Also can you please implement a gamepad configuration menu just like the keyboard config menu?
Thank you very much for all the good stuff remix team.

hi all i thought this turorial might help you guys....
This is a working usb install media creator method for os remix installation and legacy bios circumventing all known errors made for noobs including USING full drive internal storage space etc.
You will be able to use this usb stick for future creation of other usb install media
you will have the choice to also install to hard drive
you will need 2 x usb drives and require drive write speed to be higher than 10 mb/s
the first drive will be the installer drive and the second will be the actual usb drive used to run remix os.
For first drive basic fat 32 install you will need rufus 2.9 usb boot media creator
after creation of the installer drive keep it safe i reccommend you use a 4gb drive $4/£2 off ebay but get something thats got a write speed higher than 10 mb/s or else install will fail!
Format the second drive to your liking ext 4 for example on your pc with minitool partition or acronis disk manager (make sure the drive is formatted as primary and set to active flag)
1. Create fat 32 usb boot disk with first usb drive and rufus 2.9 and the remix os iso
2.make sure after creation you boot up the usb drive and enter remix os then shutdown and boot up again to write the config files
3.make sure you dont boot up the ufi version of the boot up, only use the legacy version (it will have ufi next to boot drive in bios usb boot up list)
4.after you enter remix os go to settings and download the update (ota) (this is the main fix)(if this update fails you cannot proceed further with instructions)(DOSENT APPLY TO REMIX OS 3.0+ INSTALLATION)
5. After ota update reboot and enter remix os again and let android upgrade
6.after this stage is complete your fat32 remix os usb bootable drive is ready to create a usb drive that runs remix os from the drive itself.
7.insert the second drive in a usb hub and boot up the computer with both drives in the computer and boot from the first drive (the usb remix os installer drive)
8.boot up and at the grub boot menu (it should look blue with yellow writing not the black ufi version) press tab and type: INSTALL=1
9. then press enter then you will enter usb media creation menu select scan usb drives and select the second drive (the remix os running drive)
10. It will ask you what you want to format the drive as so select do not format option (becus you already formatted it)
11.then it will ask you to install first grub boot menu say yes
12. Then it will ask you to install second boot grub efi menu say yes
13. Next it will ask you if you want to format the boot partition or something like that say *** no ***
14. Then it will ask you if you want read/write privelage say yes
15. It will proceed to write the remix os onto the drive
16. When finished it will ask to restart (at this point i just switch the pc off by holding power button then restart and boot off the new second drive to run the os from it already upgraded too)
note: If wanting ntfs version of remix os then its a little complicated than this and you will need to use imgtools to increase the data.img file on the ntfs drive after creation with the first usb media creator drive.
The remix os ota update addresses the boot media creation errors. After the ota update all drives created with the grub menu installer boot up as they should but only ufi boot up option hangs!
Hope this helps hit the thanks dont forget so i know how many people were helped by this! enjoy.
I have the ativ pc pro xe700t1c the uk version with intel core i5 quad core and its also a convertible tablet with msata ssd as hdd drive and as you all probbaly know android was created for fast flash memory and linux format os so the best combination is an ssd and ext4 linux file format. I have a 64gb 544 mb/s msata drive in a usb 3.0 enclosure which i use to boot remix os and run it off it. Its perfectly smooth and fast enough 5 secs to boot and the ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet is fully compatible hadware software wise, no problems at all. The 5 year old Ativ pc pro gets 119,000+ score in antutu benchmark same as the latest LG G5 with the latest adreno 530 gpu/snapdragon 820 cpu which costs approx £600 now in retail!!! I bought the Ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet for only £200 two weeks ago with accessories (ethernet dock etc) worth alone £100 on its own off ebay!!! On top of all that its also a windows 10 pro convertible laptop/tablet system which on its own without android was initially worth £1200 five years ago and still costing approx £500 even now in retail. So what im trying to say here is that for only £200 i get a £600 android 6.0 laptop/tablet and i also get a £500 windows 10 pro laptop tablet ALL IN ONE. Muahahahahahaha haaaaa hahahaha kekekeke.
Same problem here, but I'm not installing on a USB.

Then your only choice is to install Remix in a virtual machine, or wait for more drivers to be added.
