I just bought a Lenovo Thinkpad with a 64 bit processor and I'm thinking about switching the HDD out with an SSD. I want to dual boot Windows 7 and Remix (without a USB drive), so I came here to find a tutorial.
There's a ton of tutorials both here and on YouTube about how to install it without the USB drive, but they all seem to specify the use of an HDD. Is there any reason why? Or could I follow the same steps? This would be my first time with an SSD, so I don't completely understand the more complex differences.
Generally, an HDD and an SSD look the same to the OS - both use the SATA interface and command set so they're functionally identical. So to answer your questions, no there's no difference as far as installing an OS is concerned, and you can follow the same guides and tutorials.

I have a Windows 7 64-bit Desktop with a 3.1 GHz AMD Athlon processor, and around 4GB of RAM. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I want to learn to build android from source, but the better step-by-step guides are for ubuntu. If I were to get ubuntu, I would want to boot from a USB flash drive. Would an 8GB USB flash drive be sufficient for setting up ubuntu, the android sdk, and building a rom? Can I use my PC's harddrive for storage while ubuntu is running from the USB? I have found that Ubuntu 10.04 is recommended for android development from source. The only problem is that there are so many different downloads and files with different file sizes no matter how much I search. If someone could answer my questions and post a link with the ubuntu image, and perhaps a guide on how to install it on my usb, I would be very joyous.

you could run ubuntu live off of a usb, but it would be painfully slow. Especially when you are doing cpu/ram intensive tasks like compiling.
Id recomend doing one of the folllowing things:
First/Better option: install ubuntu onto your computer in a dualboot with windows 7
-it will be faster because it will be installed on your computer rather than having to read from the usb
-also faster because all of your cpu and ram are being dedicated to ubuntu
-some people see the word dualbooting and immediately think that its too hard but it isnt. Watch this tutorial: Click here for tutorial
Second option: install ubuntu in a virtual machine within windows 7
-this will be slower because you need to share your computers hardware with windows 7 and ubuntu at the same time
-heres a tutorial on how to do this: Click here for tutorial
Also heres the download link for ubuntu 12.10 (the newest version 64 bit): http://releases.ubuntu.com/quantal/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso
Some people say that 10.04 is better, but i know lots of devs that use 12.10.
If you still want 10.04 here it is: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso
Yup...true..you can run ubuntu live cd/pendrive but it will be really slow as said earlier.
So wat u do is to download that ubuntu image files.
Then you can use 'unetbootin' for making bootable pendrive.
And 8gb is enough(though 4 will also not be problem in anyway).
For easy installation partition your harddrive to make some 'unused' space(not free..delete the partition as ubuntu needs diffrent partition table,we don't need ntfs partition) for ubuntu.
Now install ubuntu with option 'install ubuntu alongside windows' and you are done with ubuntu part.
Now install android development kit and start working..all the best.

Hi All!
I have a Lenovo laptop lying around my college days and i thought to use it for trying Remix OS. I have checked online and the processor, Intel Celeron M 540, supports 64-bit instruction set as per Intel website. So i saw a method to dual boot remix os on windows. Formatted one of my partitions and proceeded with the dual boot method via EasyBCD. While trying it, it detects Android x86, detects data partition, but after the "Checking Data Partition" when it should show RemixOS bootanimation, it simply reboots the PC and the same happens with booting from USB as well. So could anybody please suggest if it has something to do with the processor side or is it the old drivers or something?
Model number is Lenovo 3000 G410. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Have you had any success with this yet? I have the exact same problem, and can't find answers anywhere. I've tried everything!!
I have a similar problem with lenovo s205. It doesn't even boot from flash disk or external hard drive (any of 64 bit version) the only 32 bit version boot from drivedroid on my phone but only live.

Well i downloaded and tried the 32 bit version and it worked fine. But the OS is working awfully slow. I'm afraid it's the hardware that can't run it smoothly. Will see if i can find some space on my PC to try this OS. A great project with potential nonetheless. :good:
Hey, I got a 2nd hand IBM T30 from a friend, I've never used any OS apart from Windows. ( )
I'd like to install Remix OS on this computer, But have no Idea how to do it, I never used Bios and I'm not familiar with those things.
I was hoping someone could guide me through the process via either chat or videochat.
I already have the Remix OS's .zip on both my USB and the T30.
many thanks.
Recommended system requirements
2 GHz dual core processor or better
2 GB RAM
Minimum 8 GB of free hard drive space
Internet access is helpful
Try the instructions in below link if it satisfies

I don't think it will run.. if i remember correctly
The pentium's with M in them...dont have SSE3 support
*something Android x86 needs
** the is a custom made Android KitKat without the need for sse3 (Google it)
I also doubt.. that you laptop supports, booting from usb stick
*You could use.. plop bootmanager.. to boot the usb stick (but its probably usb v1 slow)
**if you wish to try it... use the 32bit version
Anyway...just try it... and tell us the result
I run a desktop with fairly simple config and a 450W Power supply
I dualboot windows (installed on HardDisk)& Remix OS(installed on Flash Drive)
If i boot the machine with remix OS from a flash drive , will the power consumption be low?

Perhaps, but not necessarily.
It also depends on how well Remix OS supports your hardware.
450W should be more than enough, especially if your config isn't demanding. However I think that if the box shows 450W it's more likely that you actually have ~360W, due to general inefficiencies of power supplies.
I personally have a 400W supply (in reality, 320W), and my setup, while in total would not be the simplest as I have 4 hard drives installed (and I would have put more had there been space), when running I only connect 1-2 hard drives, so it is rather simple (no dedicated GPU yet, as I do not play any video games, nor am I going to).
And that is not true dualbooting, if you are changing the boot device via the BIOS.
I run a number of Linux distros (and sometimes also Remix OS), and my setup is not a true multiboot setup either, as OS has it's own copy of the bootloader installed on the same hard drive as itself.
Thanks
so , if i run windows and Remix on same drive ,its dualbooting?

Yes, and with the same bootloader (either GRUB or Windows's bootloader).
You'll have to edit the bootloader's configuration for that.
There are threads on this subforum which can help you with that.

My best advice is to try running Ubuntu in virtual box. I've done it before without much trouble on windows 7. I recommend checking out this thread for that. It's been a huge help to me in the past. And you can find video tutorials on how to build over here.
If you just wanted to compile twrp or a kernel it probably wouldn't be a problem with those specs. You're probably going to have a lot of issues trying to build an OS with a system like that though. That's simply not enough RAM. Compiling loves ram. I've ran out of memory trying to build with 8gb of RAM in virtual box before. Your CPU specs are also very important here. You'll want at least 4 cores to run the box by itself. It is very system intensive, and can easily make your host OS inoperable while running. I have the following specs, and virtual box will cripple my PC if I try to build an OS on it.
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 @3.8GHz (6 cores, 12 threads)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 (3gb)
Ram: 8gb DDR4 @2800MHz
6TB HDD (7200rpm)
For simple projects it's very useful, but for OS building in vitual box you really need a very beefy machine.
Languages: Linux, and lots of it. There's no way around that. You'll also need to be very familiar terminal commands. It is not for the faint of heart. I wish you luck.
