I'm tired of scouring the web regarding phoenix os. It's like the elephant-in-the-room.
Like king root almost.
But here's the thing. It plain outperforms remix without question, it boots much faster and is an absolute breeze to install . simply run the . Exe in Windows and it installs to C: drive or partition or USB! One simple click,and you have dual boot uefi/legacy in any Windows!
So why is there no forum or thread for this beautiful software?
Probably because I cannot find any evidence of audio successfully working for PHX Period....
As much as you want to point me to the x86 android forums, this still is its own entity, and I've already been there. This deserves a thread so here goes. Move or delete if you choose Mods
my amd r5 or h2000 aren't giving me audio with phoenix. Together or separate. I also can't get sound with Haswell.
I must know, has anyone acheived audio by any means with Phoenix OS?
Has anyone got anything to share on Phoenix os?
I like phoneix better as well.. I got everything but trackpad to work.... And uea its true its smoother. But i was unable to install google play services without giving me fc.. Theycare also extremely similar. Mowt of thigs that work on remix work on phoneix including root. Also what is broken on remix is highly possible to ve broken on phoneix when it comes to hardware incompatible

Yeah good idea. Well. I feel dumb. I was able to actually run audio out from 3.5mm jack to samsung 55" after all. My other cord was broken.
Now I've got kodi side by side next to shwbx and playboxhd. Simply amazing.
@egren58 doesn't remix have hdmi out? Is that not android x86 based?
I ran remix on a t420i w/displayport to hdmi and sound worked. A fluke?
Nope. No hdmi, remix us based on android x86 which currently does not support it.

On the same desktop, I installed both PhoenixOS Beta and Remix OS Alpha with 16GB data storage each.
Ran Antutu benchmark.
PhoenixOS scored 673526
RemixOS scored more than 7xxxxx
Additional notes:
PhoenixOS detected my other 3 hard drives and partitions with full read/write access.
Wifi and bluetooth not detected in both.
RemixOS freezes up after every 5~10 mins (but no freezing issues on my old laptop)
Audio works fine in both
CSR 2 (car racing game) runs fine in both
No hardware/hardware+ decoder for video in both according to MX Player(!)
PhoenixOS is in the beta now...whereas RemixOS is still alpha.

cool....do update us of any improvements/changes you notice.
Im running Phoenix on a Lenovo ThinkPad T450s and every single feature works beautifully! I spent hours trying to get Remix to boot on my machine by installing it on a new partition as opposed to using a USB drive and it was an absolute nightmare. I had to remove Windows in EFI mode and wipe my drive completely, convert it to MBR and boot in Legacy mode. That was the only way I could get it to work, but I lost a lot of speed in windows because of the conversion from EFI so I ended up restoring back to EFI and got rid of Remix. Then I came across Phoenix and it literally was 2 clicks and it installed everything beautifully in EFI mode! I can even have Rapid Start enabled in windows and it still works just fine. Rooting was insanely easy as well. Overall I think its an amazing piece of software and I don't know why it hasn't shown up here a lot more than what I've seen from Remix. The only issue I have is if I close the lid on may laptop while booted in to Phoenix and leave it shut for more than an hour, when I reopen it up the power light blinks and the computer won't respond to anything so I have to hold the power button and restart the computer. But it literally takes longer to hold the button and restart then it does to power back into Phoenix from being powered off. Overall Im very impressed and can't wait to see further development!
Can anyone tell me how to install Phoenix OS on a Ubuntu desktop? The thing comes in a Windows executable format. I have extracted it and placed the files on my HDD, but how to add a GRUB entry? There is no documentation on the boot parameters.

Install.img is actually install.cpio.gz so open it (twice) and you'll see the grub files there.
Phoenix Os is much better than Remix Os
Here is a link to where Phoenix OS does most of their english discussion. http://bbs.phoenixstudio.org/en/ and the Chinese forum which has the majority of the topics, http://bbs.phoenixstudio.org/cn/
enjoy!
I don't understand why Phoenix OS only provides a windows installer. I need an ISO for a virtual box install

So the ReMix Beta release will now load into VMware and Virtualbox instances on my older Dell d630 laptop running Ubunto 14.04, but the performance is absolutely horrid. Android X86 4.4.4 runs reasonably well, but as I recall, 5.1 was horribly slow.
While the ReMix beta performs slightly better in VMware than Virtualbox, it's still slow, but not really usable as the mouse does not properly work. The only way to move the mouse "pointer" is to hold down the left button and then move the mouse.
5.1.1 on my 2012 Nexus 7 tablet even ran faster than this, but was still too slow to keep.
All in all, glad to see Jide moving ahead, but will wait for some more updates before I do much more with it.
I have this same issue. I tried to run the beta release on VMWare and the pointer will only move if I hold down the left button while moving the mouse. So far, this is the only post I found that mentions this problem. Hope this gets addressed.

So, I did a disk install on my d630, using a method found in this forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/remix-os-installation-rooting-t3293769
Works, performs very well, but I am not able to disable pre-installed apps, and youtube crashes every time I try to view a video. Seems like a common problem.
I've decided to delete my vmware and virtualbox instances, and when I want to play with ReMix, will just use my grub install to let it run.
Anyone with a leaked image to try ?
Awww, this thread subject was exciting then the actual body of the OP was a disappointment.
Afaik there is absolutely nothing to leak.
Remix OS 3.0 has just been shown running on an arm device; so even if there was a copy of that ROM somewhere, it would be useless unless you also have that device (Remix Pro).
lol
I hope that if it is release for pc they might have fix the touch input on the surface pro lineup.

Or (theoretically), a device with the same chipset.
However, by the time it was ported, RemixOS 3.0 may already get an official release.

This is for arm devices which is why the Android x86 port is not out yet.
I hope that 3.0 will be better then 2.0 in terms of bug fixes and comparability with more devices especially the surface pro 4 with the touch input. dual boot will be interesting on the SP4. AmiDuOS runs good but makes my pc SP4 run hot do to the CPU heavy usage. can't wait for the new release and news on it
while waiting for Remix 3.0 i went have a look at x86 6.0 rc1 witch i did install over an existing x86 4.4 (you're asked to upgrade or make a new install) it booted fine with all my settings, you do have multiwindow now except you can only have 2 or 4 windows at the same time not resizable and less compatible then remix, next i found my cpu and hd usage was too high, but the good is the settings panel is original to 6.0. Alltogether i'm back to remix on ext4 usb with swap part., it is running perfectly for me, no lags at all...

The 32 bit install of Remix OS went perfect, got Google Play and Kodi, and everything elserunning super smooth, on an all-in-one Hp Touchsmart 300-1003, but I cannot figure out how to get the touchscreen to work.

First think I'd do is check if it's simply 'stuck': press ALT&F1 and enter rmmod i2c_hid && modprobe i2c_hid
Failing that, if you want to potentially get touchscreen to work; what I'd suggest is try booting a linux live cd and see if that supports your touchscreen. If it does post the output of lsmod, lspci and lsusb.
Personally I think Jide should create/suggest a small linux build with open-sourced drivers only (perhaps an ARCH build) - for end users to try on there system to see if there issue is due to no linux/open source support.
I know that there may be many other guides out there that talk about this subject, but what I found is that they don't really work that well with the latest versions of RemixOS, and I had to do a lot of research and tinkering to get mine working.
With that, I felt that it was helpful for me to share my findings and how I got it working, so I made a video for it.
Hope you guys find it useful.
Great video. I'd love to try it but I still can't get Remix to run on my old single core mobile cpu laptop but there is no support for these older cpu's and I've not had any helpful feedback from the Remx team, or any of the forums. It's a shame because the old machine wouid probably run Remix way better than windows, or an old version of Linux.. Dell Inspiron 5150 with Intel Pentium 4 3.06 GHz. It's not a great machine by todays standards but it bugs me that it's just sitting on the shelf.
Hey thanks for the video, although I still can't get it to boot up on its own. I have a gateway netbook which shouldn't be too far off from the Acer. Everything goes smoothly, everything works, till I reboot. The os doesn't load, I just get a black screen with a blinking underscore on the top left. I have tried everything I know, which is not too much. Any help would be great.
Thanks

To say the truth, I had not gotten the chance to check Phoenix OS lately.
However, since you have a BayTrail CPU (those did not get much supportĺ I think that you're better off with the Android-X86 LOS or standard Linux (I highly recommend Solus, and the GNOME 3 UI has great support for touch displays), and even then, you will need to compile some of the drivers yourself (such as the touch driver for the screen, until you do so, you will absolutely have to connect a mouse and keyboard).

With only 1 GB of RAM, I highly recommend using Android-x86's LOS 15.1 (you will still need to compile the touch driver for the screen, and probably other drivers as well, including audio and HDMI.
Thanks...will let u know how it goes.

You were right. I wasn't able to find LOS 15.1 but did boot 14.1 and though it did reboot on its own twice, it did finally load. It was however very slow.
I tried it on the TW801 which has 2GB Ram and it was more fluid. Touchscreen did work and so did Wifi. Hdmi audio was the bummer.
I have officially given up installing android on the TW700.....I don't think tje tablet is capable of running it well and even if it did.... HDMI audio will be a lost cause.
Thanks for your help....i appreciate it and at least I did finally got to see android on it.

Wait, how about you try running a standard Linux distribution on it?
You may still need to compile the drivers, however there is a higher chance that things will work properly after running updates and rebooting without any compilations.

Why such an old version?
18.04 has a much newer kernel (I think 4.14 or 4.15), and as such, has a much higher chance of working properly with your hardware (you may still need to compile drivers, however it's not too hard when people have already prepared the code and instructions for you), plus, it uses GNOME rather than Unity (which is discontinued by Canonical), which is at version 3.28, a release that brought many optimizations to system resources, so it should run more smoothly.
Also, when installed, it'll be be much faster, since the internal NAND is much faster than a USB drive, partly because of the fact that it ustilizes the SATA protocol, rather than the USB protocol, and partly because the chip is just way faster.
I thought that my limitation is the poor processor and the RAM. If I had a celeron it would fly.
These tablets are only good for the operating system they came with from the factory.

While an Atom processor is certainly no fun (I have an old Dell Inspiron mini 1018, so I know how it feels), it can be faster than you think.
That old laptop (it was also my first laptop) has a single core Atom CPU, from the N series (the N455), and I was running it with Windows 7.
While it does not have an OS right now (I accidentally broke the keyboard connector on the motherboard while testing RAM sticks for work (I volunteered to do this), and salvaged the hard drive for my desktop (I have 12 hard drives, and 10 trays, 2 of which are are for 2.5" drives. The hard drives were all, save for one, which was bought second hand together with the computer (the case was bought seperately), salvaged from old PCs that people had thrown away), it runs alright on Ubuntu (and slightly better on Solus), however you have a quad-core Atom, which also generates less heat (so less throttling), so it will run much better.
I am not saying that the OS will fly, after all, it does not have a core i3 CPU, however it will outperform your expectation.
Thanks. Today I can't wait to get home to the Android box being delivered.
When I get some time....i will try to load 18.04 and report back. Thanks again.
