Hi.. thanks for your time..
I Have been reading many topics an thought maybe the issue i have is with android-x86-4.4-RC1 an my desktop hardware and after accepting that thought i gave up on it...a week ago i found out android-x86-4.4-RC2 comes out an now i am a bit confuse...help me out please.
1.when i install android-x86-4.4-RC1 to the hard drive the system was smooth..i could run most of the default apps anything i install mainly give me
[unfortunately app has stopped]..running it on desktop with on board intel 945 chip..i check settings an the drivers are mentioned on the android.
enter my desktop pc bios an switch to pci-e,an nvidia card i then load up android check for driver info an it shows null..
I am not able to run just about everything,default apps included.
After time pass,giving it another go i a running [android-x86-4.4-RC2]..Same problem as above but i am able to run some minor games..
jungle heat an so on...
also if i use the onboard intel chip, i can play zombie tsunami but the road does not show.[missing graphics] but
if i switch to the nvidia card everything shows but runs at a slow speed..
2.Can someone tell me how does the zoom in/out for games work running a keyboard an mouse..
i searched google but i am getting results for browser ,camera an so on i even tried installing a few apps but nothing..
I installed GLTools_Graphics but it stays on the check box section,may i need to install xda framework..i aslo tried installing chain fire but when i run it i get [unfortunately app has stopped]..
Can i install a custon version of android?
Also i tried a few generic androids an i think it detected my nvidia card but the system itself was to slow...
my pc specs...[HP a1620n] dual 3.0ghz cpu/2 gigs ram/nvidia 430.. a very old desktop i am using for now while i visit folks.
I've been running Remix OS from my USB 3.0 stick on a Acer C720P Chromebook. The most recent installer in the download on your website works fine when installing the contents to a USB stick, but my Chromebook wouldn't recognize it what-so-ever in the legacy boot menu. I had to extract the .iso and use it with Linux Live USB creator for my chromebook to finally recognize it as bootable. Once I got it booting, the touchscreen and touchpad both work great, but doesn't recognize the "F" keys, which is a bummer for trying to turn up/down brightness and volume. When closing my chromebook, and then opening it back up again, I sometimes lose my touchscreen function. Not sure what would cause that. Also, I'm able to place all of my widgets where I want them in the widgets app, but the only button I see is a + at the bottom, and then the grid for placement. After I place everything, and go back to the home screen, none of my widgets are there, but the app itself still has all my widgets there and where I've placed/resized them when I pop open the app again.
Apps that require a lot of input and manipulation like chrome, facebook, etc. constantly time out and pop up with a "Wait or force close" box. I suspect this is because I'm running the OS on the USB stick. Chromebook users have been begging for more of an android experience on their chromebooks for ages now due to Chrome OS's.... limits. Your OS so far has been very promising! Games from the app store run very smoothly, and work great with the touch screen. My only hope is that you guys create an install-to-hard drive option in the future as an option on USB keys... Hopefully with a easy-to-understand for-dummies partitioning interface for easy dual booting installation with other OS's.
I've just got a new Android tv box Vontar Kiii. Overall a very good box. However, the box cannot run any apps in background like other normal android device. It always kills app as soon as I press the Home button. This happens to every app I run. I have particular problem when I run Openvpn Connect, it will immediately disconnect as soon as I leave the app. This never happens to my other Android phones or tablets.
I'm not sure why the rom set to kill the apps and not allowed them to run in background at all.
The box has 2gb ram, rooted.
How can I make it behave like a normal Android device?
Thanks in advance.
Update: solved. I have to press back key instead of home key.
Up, i have the same problem...
UP, in the past i knew how to fix it, it was something in the built.prop if i remember right.
My old KIII doesnt got this problem i fixed it somehow but my friends one got the same problem...
Dammit can no one help, it was written here in the forum if i remember right...
Finally found it....
So you have to use a explorer with root access and delete or edit "allowbackgroundapp.list" located at "/system/etc"
I use to edit the list and add the names of apps i wanne run in the background, like "org.xbmc.kodi" , "tv.twitch.android.app" or "org.mozilla.firefox".
Actually pretty easy, hope i could
I don't know what I did, but it seems like Remix OS changed its setting to show some kind of other launcher that is not the default desktop view. I attached screenshots and I have not downloaded any launchers. It shows me Launcher3 as the only option to set as my home launcher when I go to Settings and search the settings entries using the magnifying glass icon. You can see the attached screenshots for a bit more information. I don't really want to install it if there is an easy fix that someone knows of, but if it comes down to that as a last resort option, then I will.
Thanks!
revert to original desktop
Did you ever get this figured out. I have the same issue and cant seem to find a solution.
Thanks,
Brad
Just uninstall updates to the Remix WiFi app, and disable updates through the Play Store.
And please search the subforum before you post a thread that is a duplicate of others' threads (I have already seen about 3 threads about the exact same problem).

I've had the same issue and it appeared directly after the Remix WiFi update.
The update procedure seems to be a little bit broken. In "Apps" I saw two WiFi-Apps afterwards, the recent version and the new update. (???)
But you cannot uninstall the update in a normal way, you can only force quit.
So I installed "Root App Deleter", to uninstall the new update. But wait, "Root App Deleter" only showed the older version of the WiFi App -> I deactivated it first instead of uninstalling, didn't want to broke the whole system. After a reboot it was still the same mess. So I activated the old WiFi App again with "Root App Deleter", suddenly I saw it marked as "updated". Then I removed the patch, after another reboot everything was fine again. Ok, all Desktop Icons where gone.
Very very strange, this relation between WiFi-App and Desktopmode...
I really like Remix OS, it runs on my Beebox very nice and fluent and in comparison to Linux almost "out of the box", but the stable branch seems to be not that stable it should be.
And there is a lot of improvement needed for some more things..

You're right, this is really odd.
This doesn't sound like the other threads, since there they were able to simply remove the update without any hitches.
Just wait for the next Remix OS for PC release. Hoping they fix that issue. I bet it gonna happen on the Remix mini, player and 10. If they don't fix this issue.

Go to settings and select reset box (do not select my remix), select erase everything , this will bring back default desktop launcher and box to factory setting leaving all your apps untouched, it will erase only accounts credentials, just log in with your account to any app if needed after resetting box.
Same here has remix 32 bit booted left for a while and when I came back it was frozen so I rebooted and then it was Android style desktop instead of pc...
How can I get it back?
Also anyone know how to get player working? Can't get to to even open. only 32 bit boots on my pc.. (I have a 64 bit Windows installation)
Sent from my Moto G4 Play using XDA Labs
It's fixed
I fixed it!
There will be 2 wifi apps in Settings > Apps
Go into one of them, there will be 3 dots vertically in either one of them on top right.
Uninstall the Update of the one with 3 dots, reboot your machine !
Thank you! After the update the Remix WIFI disappeared, so I was confused, but this solution worked.

Hi,
newbie here, just got a chromebook few days ago, and I'm impressed with the new world I'm discovering...
Very happy with the Play Store integration, basically every app I tried from the Play Store worked flawlessly.
Now, i know the we don't have the option for real desktop functionality with app links and/or widgets, but I discovered that I can download android launcher(s) form Play Store, and although the launcher will run like a separate app, will still do the trick (at least for me), to have many app links to actual desktop (not only the bar), and eventually widgets... I'm saying "eventually" because in the few launchers that I've tried, the widgets availability seems limited (compared to the installed apps or how would be on android).
The question is: can launcher be developed specifically for chrome OS with full functionality? Assuming that it will run as a separate app (maybe open at start, by default)?
Many thanks in advance!

I'm with you there florox. The default launcher is rubbish. When you press all apps, only getting the last 5 listed is a joke. Widgets would also be a real boost to Chrome OS.
On the other hand, having a touch screen and Android apps working is still years ahead of what Micro$oft and Apple have achieved. It's an exciting time to own a CB.
Agree, Chrome OS is evolving at a rapid pace! Maybe Nova launcher someday...
