Hello,
i would like to watch some maxdome, netflix etc. films and series in a place, we haven't got internet. Because you can't download videos for offline using on pc, I thought i can install Remix OS on a external Harddrive, install apps like maxdome to download films at home and watch it offline. It works, but you only have nearly 4 gb internal storage on this operating system. I found a tutorial on how to increase the internal storage, but this only works on harddrives formatted to NTFS. And you can't install Remix OS on a NTFS formatted external harddrive, can you?. Is there any way to increase the internal storage on FAT32? Will the developers of Remix OS increase the internal storage in the future?(Because it's only Alpha so far) Another problem is, that when i when I connect the laptop to the TV with HDMI, it only transfers the video, but no audio. Will this be fixed in the future?
Sorry, my english is not the best
I am trying to find a way to increase the "data.img" file that is generated on the USB stick... If I can't figure it how, the only option is installing on the HD and make the tuto's.
And I think its possible to install on an external drive and use the whole space. Gonna figure it out how 4 us, okay? \รต/
I think that the HDMI problem will be solved on the next updates. Anyway, its still on Alpha...
While its not solved, we can always use an P2-P2 audio cable ... haha.
The FAT32 file system has a limitation of 4GB files. There's no way to have a bigger data.img without making your flash drive NTFS

Hey
After a while searching and studying about this, I realised that I couldn't make it on the pendrive.
BUT
i successfully installed the OS on my SSD ( OMG, such fast booting ). I split my SSD, formatted to EXT4 and installed, and BOOM! 12 gigs of internal storage.
What does it mean? It means that you can install on a flash drive, such as USB stick or External HD, formatting as EXT4 partition, and run from there.
I'll make some tutos ASAP, teaching how to make those tricky stuff.
BRB!

Which program do you use to get the iso on a ext4 partition?

I think you can't.
But, you can install on another USB Stick.
This weekend is "Carnaval" in Brazil (National Holiday). I'll try to make one video explaining 4 u, okay?
[EDIT] Sorry, I'm gonna be a little busy this weekend. What you can do at all is to install the iso normally in a USB Stick, run it with the "INSTALL=1" parameter, format another USB with EXT4 and install it on the stick. You should get it with the internal storage as the size as the USB stick.
I didn't tried it yet, but its a possibility.
Let me know if you're gonna do this.

Just install normally the ISO on a USB sitck and boot it normally. When it appears for you select on the both modes ( resident and some other ), you press "E" on your keyboard, to edit the command line. There, you put INSTALL=1 parameter. Then , you'll install it normally, just selecting the right stick.

Thank you very much, it works!
You just have to install GRUB bootloader when it asks you, the other questions you can skip. Then it works!

Will it install grub to the USB. I dont want to overwrite grub on my HDD. Currently I have managed to have a USB formated with ext4 and swap, and was able to use unetbootin to put install files on. I dont use the install option as I havent used the two usb as you have here. I do have a full install on my internal ssd and have 56 gb to play with but would like to have a usb that can boot on any computer with the ability to access more than 4gb. I have tried a few ways and if it doesnt mess with the bootloader on my ssd then id be happy to know that.

I discovered somethings with my notebook. Its an Asus X550LN, and the BIOS is as secure as hell. So, I had to search on the partitions created the GRUB that the installer says it was installed. And my BIOS just read one type of File System ( I don't remember it right now, but its the one that Windows uses, not Ubuntu ). When I found the GRUB bootloader on another partition, i just copied the files from one partition to another, added a boot option for it to reach the bootloader and BOOM, "chooseable dual-booted". Yeah, its hard because I have to enter in the BIOS everytime I want the other OS, but its a step. LoL.
Anyway, I think you should try to make a 400MB Partition to install the bootloader on the stick, and the space left just format as ext4 and install the RemixOS there.
Yeah... I don't know if you understand what I'm saying.... It can be confusing, but its perfectly clear on my mind. :silly:
I really need to make a video explaining everything... ASAP.
Still Trying

I can dual boot etc. I can do this through Ubuntu by editing the grub command, I have not tried using the REMIX bootloader because it will overwrite the one I am currently using. I have managed to have dual partitions on my stick, but alas cannot boot to the partition needed. Do you have any idea how to edit the lines for booting to the ext 4 on the stick? Its a little different than my Ubuntu grub edit and it just wonte see the secondary partition. Install went fine i look at the files and it's all there just cant figure out hot to edit the current boot config to boot proper -partition.
Thanks and totally get ya. :silly::laugh:

wow... I had to mount the partitions manually on Ubuntu on the terminal ( like "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tempsda1" ). you should try somethings like that... just listing the partitions on all drives.
Good luck ! o/ :silly:

HI ALL!
Hi fleflis thanks for sharing your discoveries, so to make a bootable remix os usb stick that has more than 4gb internal android space is it difficult? im a total noob and i would like to know a step by step turtorial on how to do this. If you would be kind enough to tell me? i dont have ubuntu/linux only windows and android and i would like to use my 128gb usb 3.0 stick to boot android. Thank you very much in advance fleflis or anyone who can help.
A few days ago i installed remix os to my 40gb hdd (not primary hdd) via a hard drive case that puts ide through usb. After i installed remix, i booted back into windows and used rmx tools to expand my data partition to 34gb and then i went back to remix and everything worked fine. i installed google services and rebooted a few times and everything was still working. then, to get better performance out of it, i plugged the 40gb hdd back into my motherboard via the ide cable. Now whenever i try to boot into remix again it gets stuck on "detecting android-x86" and won't do anything else. The hard drive status light also stops. I've tried plugging my install usb into the computer when it gets stuck but that does nothing. Any help? my specs are
Intel core 2 duo @2.8
ati radeon 4760 gpu
asus p5ql mobo
250gb hdd (primary)
40gb hdd formatted in ntfs (so i could have 34gb of data)
Seems like it can't read the data partition or something, I don't know how you installed this but maybe you should get a linux distro running first, that makes it so much easier to manage Remix OS see http://forum.xda-developers.com/rem...buntu-mint-t3311865/post65243289#post65243289 for example
You can also try to add the boot option DATA_IN_MEM=1 to see if it boots up

I installed it from a 16gb flash drive to the hard drive. Where do I add that boot option?
I have installed stable lineage OS 14.1 on my PC. but before the last logo of the is shown it says (Detecting Android-x68.................................................... found at /dev/sdb3)
console:/#(...........................................)
I don't know what to write after (console:/#)
Can anyone help me with this.
I appreciate that...
Is it possible to boot remix on a separate HD? I have a PC with Windows on a HD and I'm wanting to add a second HD drive to boot remix. I tried dual boot on 1 drive but for some reason after a while remix would lock up on boot. Also if I leave remix booted up for a while the pc goes into hibernate?
Yes, it can be done.
I have Windows 10 on one SSD and Remix on a second SSD.
Use the Remix installer for the second drive and it will take care of the boot order also.
Good to hear, can u explain further?

Not much to explain. Install it the same way you did when you installed it on a partition with Windows.
When you use the Remix installer, point it to the drive you want to use. Make sure it is formatted to NTFS.
If you want to make the internal storage size larger than 8GB, use this guide to expand it.
I used it to expand mine to 70GB. Its easy to use.

I followed those instructions but it installed on the windows drive instead of the drive I pointed too
As the title said, my laptop was very old and running Windows very slow. So I want to use RemixOS to replace my Windows.
Is thaa possible?

hi it is posible and i bet there is a easy way im to stupid to find so here is what i did take a old empty hdd and the biggest usb stick u have (not bigger than the hdd) download the remix os install it on the usb stick like normaly then kill the partition on the hard disk using minitool partition wizard (freeware) [aply changes] then tell it to clone the partitions of the usb stick to the hdd u want to use and select no rezising of partitions aply again , shutdown , plug hdd into laptop and done schould install like normal on usb youst from internal [later u can partition the remaining space on the hdd into nice 32gb pices so the os can read them and have unlimited space i bet there is a easyer way but that worked for me whit the 64 bit version and a crappy intel atom office system whitout uefi boot if someone has a more simple way please let me know ^^ also is there a way to turn of guest mode querry so it automaticly boots into residental mode ?

I mean:
1. Install on USB
2. Format the partition on HDD
3. Clone the USB to HDD
right?
I success to replace my Windows with RemixOS.
But how can I use the full partition of my HDD?
Installation of Remix OS on hard disk using all storage
Have a look at "How to install Remix OS to hard disk".
easy,it is like install it on VMware.
just create a boot able USB
boot from it.
then on boot press tab and enter quiet INSTALL=1 DEBUG=
if I remember correctly.
this will start the stand alone hdd formating tool and installation wizard.
this is very easy and you find tons of videos about it on YouTube.

Hi folks
I have a 64bit hp chromebox that has 4gb of ram that I was using as a standalone for openeleq. I switched that to win 10 which ran pretty much perfect with a Bluetooth speaker attached. I have since come across remix os which I ran alongside win 10 on a separate partition that worked fine also. What I want to know is can I install remix os directly to my chromebox ssd as s standalone os that just boots directly into remix os with no windows or anything. I have purchased a little external enclosure for the m2 ssd and had it hooked to my pc last night. I formatted it to fat 32 then ran the remix os install tool and installed it to hard drive (my chromebox ssd). Anyway after install I slipped it back into my chromebox but it won't boot. I get an error at the seabios screen telling me it is unable to read hard disk. Will this be possible to do if so can someone help please. Thankyou
*****update solved*****
Been hacking away at it today and I have found a solution. Plug in your ssd via external enclosure to your pc and format to ntfs. Then downloaded pendrive Linux (universal USB installer) and choose the bottom option (try unlisted Linux iso). Load up the Remix os for pc iso and write it to the ssd. Put the ssd back in the chromebox and it will boot straight into Remix os.
Note: If you are doing it from a fresh chromebox still running chrome os on it then it needs to be flashed first to a custom bios. I have option 6 on mine standalone custom core firmware.
The Kodi E-Z setup script will do this.
Just Google it and follow the instructions.
Remix os will allocate 8gb of internal space regardless of the ssd size when using ntfs. Just load up Remix os on your chromebox and follow the install till you get to the desktop screen then shut it down. Then just remove the ssd from your chromebox and put it back into the enclosure and connect it back to your pc. Just Google increase Remix os internal storage and there is a simple tutorial on how to do this. Mine is 48gb ?. Sorry for not posting links I did try but as I am a newbie I wasn't allowed.
Hope this helps anyone.

Been hacking away at it today and I have found a solution. I downloaded rufus but at first it wouldnt pick up my m.2 ssd in the enclosure so I pressed alt + f together and it appeared. I installed the remix os iso on it and bang it works.
Anyone who has a chromebox and wants remix on it as a standalone operating system then pick up an enclosure and follow the steps above. Thanks
Hope this helps anyone else

Yes just google Kodi E-Z setup script and follow the instructions to prep your box and flash the custom firmware. I have mine on option 6 standalone custom core boot firmware. It works flawlessly.

I actually made a mistake and ruined my bios been messing around all day trying to figure it out Installed Gallian Linus without fail then I ran Remix OS from USB and was able to access my internal hdd which to me is what I wanted anyway then I made another copy of my Remix OS on USB and I copied my USB drive with Remix duplicate into my hdd when it was done I rebooted my chrome box and Remix OS is running from hdd only issue I have is it doesn't load first option just takes to long been over 1hr the second option loads fine
need to find another version that works for chrome box I'm using the one from YouTube video need one that skips the guest mode and goes right into OS so I get full access to Remix and not this crap can't write stuff
