So I've been testing ReMix and can get it to run on my Windows 10 Toshiba laptop,
in Virtual machines, but it will not run on my older Dell d630 running Ubuntu 14.04.
Android X86 4.4.4 and 5.1 versions will run in both Virtualbox and Vmware on the d630, although 5.1 seems very slow - not unlike it's performance on many other platforms.
Remix essentially bootloops back to it's main install screen, if the iso isn't unmounted, or to the grub menu, each and every time.
I've tried a number of boot mods with different vga settings, but nothing has worked.
Just wondering what is missing from remix that x86 has?

im running the asus t100ta transformer.
i have tried 5-6 iso most of them doesnt even goes to grub screen. and the only 1 that does launches android but seems frozen at the welcome screen plus mouse not smooth the whole time and sluggish performance.
here are the ones i tried so far
this one loads grub but stuck at welcome screen
android-x86 -4.4-r2 (388MB)
these iso grub dont load im back at the UEFI screen as soon as i try to boot from the usb option
android-x86 -4.4-RC2 (332MB)
android_x86- 5.0.2gaaps (368mb)
android-x86 4.0-r1.1-asus_laptop(178mb)
android-x86-4.2-20121225(198mb)
android-x86-4.4-r1 (343mb)
i was using Rufus usb program and i noticed only the android-x86 -4.4-r2 (388MB) was able to start with the option "MBR partition scheme for UEFI computer"
all the others are not UEFI bootable or i had to pick for BIOS computer setting.
anyone has any idea what is going on? i have seen people running android on identical computers without any problems....thanks for help
I have try android x86 4.0 RC2 on my EEEPC 702 8G and it is awesome!
I am now wanna try remix os 32 bit version.
However, it stop at the word "ANDROID" in console mode and not show the remix os logo.
Is EEEPC 702 too old to support? Is there any boot commend that I can try for?
Try VGA=791 and debug.
Having the same problem here. Tried editing menu with VGA=791 and 785 to no avail. I even tried VGA=312, which also did nothing.
I don't think the kernel supports the hardware, although it'd be great if it did.
Have you installed remix on hdd or pendrive try to install on hdd
I've tried installing on all media to no avail (SD, pendrive, HDD). It's definitely a driver problem because everything from 4.0 down to 1.6 runs, but anything above that api level won't run.
I'll look at the android x86 commits from that period and see what's stopping us.

I have an old netbook that is pretty slow, it would be nice if I can install remix os as the only OS on that laptop. no boot from USB, no dual boot with windows, just push on button and remix os boots up.
For example, when I boot up ubuntu from usb there is the option to wipe hdd and install ubuntu on it. Would be nice if remix os had similar feature.

If your netbook is old (perhaps with 32bit cpu only), you'll have to take into account, that Remix OS will not start because there are problems with the graphics system.
Post "Installing Remix OS to Hard Drive or Virtual Machine without additional tools" describes how to use the built in formatting tool "cfdisk" for deleting old partitions and creating new partitions and setting up Remix OS in the next steps.
If you don't mind using additional tools like "PartedMagic" you'll find a description how to prepare a hdd and how to install Remix OS in Post "Remix OS on Hard Drive or Virtual Machine - Installation and (OTA) Update"
I tried to install RemixOS to a USB stick, but got the same blank screen as I previously had gotten when trying to install Linux Mint on my system with an NVIDIA GTX 970 video card. Turns out some newer NVIDIA graphics cards do not have video support until the drivers are actually installed, unlike my previous AMD card.
What I had to do to install Mint was to use recovery mode on the Live CD, then use the "NOMODESET" command for basic video graphics to be able to see the install screens.
Even using "NOMODESET" for the USB install wouldn't help very much for RemixOS since there's no way to install the official NVIDIA graphics drivers after the OS boots like you can in Linux (that I know of).
Is there any workaround? For now, I have to use RemixOS through VirtualBox on my main PC to test and play around with the OS because of this.
I couldn't tell from the cryptic instructions whether I would end up with a conventional dual boot arrangement if I install remix on my windows 7 hp pro x2 612 touchscreen laptop. I don't want to lose the windows 7. I downloaded what I think is the most recent version Remix_OS_for_PC_Android_M_64bit_B2016101201. Also can I burn the iso to a disc (not usb drive) and use the included windows installer. Will remix boot from the disc so I can check it out on my pc before installing it?
Does remix allow installing conventional linux applications such as full libreoffice or is it limited to google play offerings. Is there a guide anywhere to side loading whatever is needed to get the google play store working. Appreciate any help with all these questions. Thanks so much

Installing using the official installer will not do any harm to the Windows 7 installation. If you chose to install on the same partition as Windows, it will be placed in a separate folder and a boot menuentry will be added.
So, yes, you end up with a conventional dual boot arrangement
Remix OS .iso was not designed to work on disc mediums so I do not recommend to try and boot from a disc.
Instead, better use a USB storage Device to test Remix out.
Remix OS is a fork of Android-x86 project (coming from AOSP) so it doesn't have a Linux GUI packages installer. You won't be able to install LibreOffice on it.
Play Store comes pre-installed as long as you select the respective option during first boot.
It depend
i've create one partition and install with INSTALL=1
taking grub not grub 2 saying add one instruction for choose os remix or Windows 7 at the starting up (it had work perfectly with the pc of my friend but not with mine .
