[GUIDE] [ALTERNATIVE] Dual boot RemixOS (beta) alongside Windows - Remix OS for PC

Beta launched!
http://www.jide.com/en/remixos-for-pc
PRE-NOTE -​
- This method doesn't work on 32-bit UEFI systems due to system limitations. However you may try the following guides which are reported to be working -
By @TP4LG
PREREQUISITE - ​
- Remix OS ISO (both 32-bit and 64-bit work)
- Grub2Win from [URL="http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub2win/"]http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub2win/
THE EASY METHOD -​
1. Extract grub2win.zip anywhere and install using setup.bat in install folder. Tick "Create a shortcut on your desktop" for easy excess to application via desktop.
2. Create a folder named "RemixOS" in the root directory of any of your partitions. If you had used the Official RemixOS Installation Tool before this guide, the directory may already be created. Important: Backup your data.img by moving to some other directory. Use UninstallRemixOS.exe to remove the current installtion.
3. Copy and paste the folder efi and the the following files from your RemixOS ISO to "RemixOS" folder you created earlier-
-initrd.img
-install.img
-kernel
-ramdisk.img
-system.img
*data.img, if you had installed RemixOS previously.
4. Copy and paste the grub.cfg (inside the appropriate zip attached in this post. 32-bit ISO adopters use grub32-bit.zip and 64-bit ISO adopters use grub64-bit.zip) to "X:\grub2" (where X is the drive letter of the partition where you installed Grub2Win).
*RUN grub2win program once and click OK button so that Grub2Win BCD entry is created.
5. Reboot and select "Grub 2 For Windows". After it loads, select RemixOS - Resident Mode. That's it!
*You may skip the following method and jump directly to POST-NOTES.
A LITTLE ADVANCED METHOD -​
*The first 3 steps are the same as the easy method.
4. Run Grub2Win program from desktop.
5. Click "Manage Boot Menu" Button.
6. Click "Add A New Entry" in Grub2Win Menu Configuration Window.
7. Select OS Type as android. Change title to "Remix OS - Resident Mode". Under "Automatically Generate Configuration Code For Android", change Search By Boot Directory to /RemixOS.
*pay attention that slash is used (/) and not backslash (\)
8. Under Linux Boot Parms, replace the existing code with this -
If you're using 64-bit ISO -
Code:
androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet DATA= SRC=RemixOS CREATE_DATA_IMG=1
IF you're using 32-bit ISO -
Code:
androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet DATA= SRC=RemixOS CREATE_DATA_IMG=1
9. Click on Apply, and then OK.
10. Click on Apply, and then OK. Then click close. Reboot and select "Grub 2 For Windows". After it loads, select RemixOS - Resident Mode.
POST-NOTES -​
1. I've tried this method and it works fine on my Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with BIOS mode legacy. It should work on EFI systems (64-bit only) and 64-bit or 32-bit "legacy" systems as well. If you get any error, please report it, I'll try to provide a fix.
2. I already had the data.img and it booted fine. Initialize Data Partition may take time if you don't have it already, and as the Remix OS says - please be patient.
3. You can change Grub graphics mode and OS graphics to the best suited resolution. You may change Boot Pause Seconds too. It won't break anything.
Comment below if this method works for you. Especially the ones with UEFI systems.

I also did something similar...but using EasyBCD.
Nice sharing.

I tried too!
But couldn't get it booting from a subfolder inside a drive (it was stuck on detecting android x86).
So had to go with Grub2win
Update : Actually grub4dos (used by neogrub) doesn't support mapping a subdirectory as hard drive or partition (tried hard to find a method but couldn't find it)

Still native mount support for internal hard disk partitions was missing (we need to use stick mount and ES File Explorer for that)
Hope native support will be there in the beta

Grub2Win will not work on Asus T100
I just wanted to give this a try before I created a partition, but Grub2Win will not run on Asus T100 as this is 32 bit windows. I get error when I start Grub2Win "EFI mode requires 64 bit windows."
Right in "https://sourceforge.net/projects/grub2win/files/" it clearly states......
On EFI systems, you must be running 64 bit Windows. BIOS systems can run either 64 or 32 bit Windows.
I guess EasyBCD is the way for me now.

Yes definitely go for it
Or wait till the beta comes out on 1st March...
Update : There is a way but that's much more complicated than just creating a partition.

i have a external HDD here ( Freeagent Desk 1TB ) which is connected via usb cable...
I have tested the r/w speed, and the write speed is somewhere around 20-22mb/s
i am planning to install remix os in it but will partition 32gb space out of the 1Tb... is that okay?
i am using this 1TB as a storage device backup for my android files/mp3/windowsOS/software and docs...

If you're talking about partitioning your external hard drive, you really don't need to (as stated in the post)
All you need to do is create a folder "RemixOS" in the root of your portable drive (or any folder if you go for the advanced method) and copy the the stated files in that folder.
If you want to have a data partition larger than 4 GB (that's the default size when you install RemixOS), you can use RMXtools by @imadlatch. Once you create it just copy it to the folder you created. And boot using Grub2win... It boots (just tested it on my USB drive)

Pretty sure that if it is grayed out it means your computer is UEFI based, which means you would need to reinstall windows in the legacy mode of your PC to use this method.

@kabeerkhan2016,
I figure, this or any other methods @kabeerkhan2016 mention only works for Legacy Bios and NOT for UEFI/EFI,
Which another whole process if you want dual boot with Remix or any other 3er. Party OS
Bravo. Worked for me!
Please add some procedures in text to the thread.. It'll be helpful.

you are running your laptop in IDE which mean you shouldn't have a problem at all,
by the way the REMIX OS you need is Remix OS for PC Package (Legacy) not the EFI and you'll be good to go

Do you mean we need to re-install windows to MBR format ? To make dual boot alive ?
I have same problem, my windows is boot via UEFI, so it can't boot from another OS
Here's my problem when run easyBCD
goes as far as remix text
Hello.
I followed the instructions and all seems to work but my computer boots, gets past Android logo, up comes REMIX text and then it just stays there with a small cursor flashing. I waited an hour but it goes no further. I am trying to bot 32 bit version and it works on same computer but from USB stick. Hoe long should it normally take from hard disk? From USB it took 10 mins.
Thanks

Install RemixOS+Win10 32bit on Asus T100TA. Use full partition. No RmxTools

This thread is about how to install RemixOS on HDD without data.img or any size restriction. No need to for any tools to increase RemixOS size.
Update: The more I spend time on this the more I learn new things. We dont need ubuntu to edit grub.cfg. It can be done using Diskpart within Windows.
So the only thing we need Ubuntu right now is to copy the RemixOS files to ext4 partition before we begin installation.
Update 2:If you can boot using gparted (http://gparted.org) then you can directly copy the files to new partition. So no need for Ubuntu. Just copy the Remix ISO files to a subfolder in gparted USB. Once gparted is loaded, open terminal, reformat new partition to ext4, mount it and copy Remix ISO files from USB to partition. Now you can boot from Remix USB and install to this new ext4 partition.
Code:
sudo mkdir /home/user/RemixDir
suod mount -t ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p5 /home/user/RemixDir
sudo cp -r /lib/live/mount/medium/Remix32/* /home/user/RemixDir
/dev/mmcblk0p5 is the partition as seen from gparted.
/lib/live/mount/medium/ is the mount point of gparted USB drive as seen in gparted.
Original:
This is a long thread make sure you read it once before you actually do it. This is long because I documented every step.
Have 2 speedy SD USB3 cards. I am using Sandisk Ultra 64GB & 32GB. You can get away with one but you have to keep reloading Ubuntu and Remix.
Download and install EasyUEFI on Asus T100 from http://easyuefi.com/index-us.html
Download Universal-USB-Installer from http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
Download Rufus 2.7 Portable from http://rufus.akeo.ie/
Download latest Ubuntu ISO and create bootable USB using Universal-USB-Installer. I am using Ubuntu 15.10. Also, Rufus cannot create persistent Ubuntu.
a. Make the USB persistent. We will need Ubuntu often.​
Get the bootia32.efi for your device from anywhere as Ubuntu does not provide it in their Amd64 ISO. The bootia32.efi from RemixOS did not work for me. For my ASUS T100, I got it from http://www.jfwhome.com/2016/01/04/latest-steps-to-install-ubuntu-on-the-asus-t100ta/ and place under /EFI/Boot folder in Ubuntu USB.
Download RemixOS 32-bit zip and extract it somewhere. Use Rufus to load Remix32 ISO to SD card. Universal-USB-Installer created USB will not boot.
Open the Remix OS SD card. Go to efi/boot and edit grub.cfg. We don’t need to put Windows entry here as we will do it later after everything is done.
Code:
menuentry 'RemixOS' --class android-x86 {
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /kernel
set root='hd1,gpt5'
linuxefi /kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive INSTALL=1
initrdefi /initrd.img
}
Extract Remix ISO as well. Create a folder in Ubuntu USB called Remix32 and copy contents of Remix ISO to Remix32 folder in Ubuntu USB.
Start Windows on ASUS T100 and create new partition using Disk Management. Label it RemixOS. I would rather do it here than from Ubuntu so I don’t mess up Windows. Does not matter what filesystem you use here as you will format again from Ubuntu.
Connect Ubuntu USB to ASUS
Now boot Asus T100 and hit delete key like crazy to get into boot setup. If you see ASUS logo you are too late.
Disable secure boot and make Ubuntu USB first boot option. Save changes and restart.
When you see Try Ubuntu screen press CTRL+ALT+DEL, screen should resize to native resolution. Then select Try Ubuntu and let Ubuntu load.
Open Files, you should see RemixOS partition. Right click and select format.

Select Custom type​Name: RemixOS​Filesystem: ext3 (I tried ext4 before but had lot of problems running RemixOS so changed to ext3. You can use ext4 if you have problem with ext3.)​
After format complete, select Computer -> cdrom. This is the Ubuntu USB folder. You should have RemixOS folder here. Copy the content from this folder to RemixOS partition you created above.
Shutdown Ubuntu, plug Remix32 USB and get to boot from it.
You will see only RemixOS option here. You can press C and go to grub> prompt. Type ls to see all your partitions and make sure RemixOS partition has files are at ls (hd1,gpt5)/
If you see this message, something was not copied over from Remix32 ISO to new partition.
Android-x86 installer is not available
Press RETURN to run live version
After you answer/choose following options, Choose to Run Android-x86 not Reboot. You will be at RemixOS logo and install will continue and complete.
If you are reinstalling RemixOS after say changing partition from ext3 to ext4 or updating/upgrading RemixOS, skip Grub and Grub2 install.
But do over-write system.
Once reboot, you will not see RemixOS/Windows yet. It is still Windows only.
[*]Now we will boot Ubuntu again.
[*]This is where Linux purists are gonna kill me. I don’t know any other way to show Windows + RemixOS boot option, so if you know please let me know and I will update my post.
[*]Open Disks application in Ubuntu.
[*]Select EFI partition and mount it.
Lets boot Windows, open Admin Command Prompt and type Diskpart. Once in, type List Volume to see all partitions on disk. Select volume and then assign a drive letter to it. You can now edit grub.cfg.
Open grub.cfg from efi/boot and add Windows 10 entry as follows. This is a one time process, you dont have to redo this if you upgrade RemixOS, but if you over-write grub, this is needed.
Code:
set timeout=30
set gfxmode=1024x768
terminal_output gfxterm
menuentry "Remix OS" {
search --set=root --file /android-2016-03-01/kernel
linuxefi /android-2016-03-01/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive
initrdefi /android-2016-03-01/initrd.img
}
menuentry "Windows 10" {
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
chainloader (${root})/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
We are not done yet . Now lets go back into Windows and open EasyUEFI
Create a new Linux or Other OS entry and select bootia32.efi from EFI partition. Make this first boot option as we will load Windows too from this. You should already have Windows entry pointing to right efi,
Second partition should just have Microsoft related files. If you see something that does not belong here, use Diskpart in Windows or Disks in Ubuntu to delete them.
Finally after 30 steps, restart and you have your RemixOS. Go ahead and install Google Play and if you get any error installing apps from play store, just remove your account from the device and add it again.
Enjoy....
Dude thanks I have a t100 that I could install the alpha on and this one nothing. I also have a Minix that run windows and I could never get the alpha working. The beta couldn't work on anything. What I did after a lot of tries was just copy all the files to a USB stick and use your grub file but I removed the 0,5 part for the HD. What happen was that when it loaded resident mode, it just formated the stick by itself and now it works !
Thanks you so much
Thanks bro, finally my VivoTab M81C its working with your method. Do you have all yours sensors working? (WiFi, bluetooth, gyroscope and GPS) I can just makeit work WiFi.
Still doesn't help those of us on Dell Venue 8 Pro.......
Glad it worked for you.

Lets list the things that DON'T work: Camera (The light is always on but no video in Skype), Bluetooth (Can see a MISC device in my phone but cannot pair), Screen rotation, audio works but crashes often (I just restart the device). Hey, I can atleast run MS Word on it and play android games on it, so no complaints.
Take it step-by-step

I know how frustrating it is when everyone in the world can install it except us, all I can say is take it in steps. If your device does not even boot when you select Recovery or Guest mode, just press c and go to grub> prompt. From there try playing with grub commands as listed at http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Commands. It might or might not work but you will learn something about grub
<Edit> Wanted to to add, when at grub> prompt type ls. It will list out your partitions, then if you try ls (hd0, gptN) where N is your partition, you will know what file system it is. You can they enter that info in grub.cfg or reboot and command edit (e) and add it there.
Depending on how much time you are ready to spend on getting RemixOS installed, you can search askubuntu. Usually you will get an idea about what is involved in getting ISO to boot in 32 bit EFI. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/392719/32-bit-uefi-boot-support.
Good luck.
Thanks for sharing your grub.cfg. I was already on the right track, but since I didn't know the syntax or the path to the Windows bootloader I couldn't do much more than make a Windows entry in the boot menu that didn't actually do anything. I was going nuts trying to find the proper grub entry for Windows. Now my Toshiba Encore 2 is dual booting perfectly. If only there was a way to install Remix on a NTFS partition, instead, so I could have more than 4gb of data... Just FYI, the 64-bit Remix works just fine; just point grub to the 64-bit file instead of the 32-bit file in your cfg.
Nice share
I tried almost everything, but nothing worked for 32-bit UEFI Windows users, because my system is legacy only and I couldn't test any of the methods myself but you can help them. Can I post a link to your post on my post?

Sure you can. More people helped the better.
I feel lot of people have these great budget ultrabooks/netbooks which for any corporate reason never got software that the hardware deserved.
I modified this to run on my 64-bit T100HA, but just changing the 32-bit references to 64. It boots, but I am stuck with the same black screen I had when I used the bundled in Installer. I guess it just doesn't work for me. I'm giving it to my wife, and buying a Nook or Kindle Fire for comics. Kinda bummed.
Does it sleep properly?

I don't think any version of android sleeps properly on this thing. Super frustrating.
Hurray! This worked for me - at least Remix OS is creating data right now. i just had to do one more thing:
- add the bootia32.efi from remix os volume into the efi trusted file and put remix os at the top of boot list directly from efi setup
- everything works. Clearly for Play store to work decently you need to remove unknown source AND set good time zone.
- now i was wondering if there is a way to change the size of the data.img to use most of my 16gb partition for remix os

Thanks. that worked but as an internal drive can only be ntfs or fat32 i assume it is not possible to boot the remix pc from ntfs... so is there a way to tell android x 86 base boot files to look for data.img on my sdcard reader or use the whole sdcard as data disc ?
it would be the best way to have enought space to enjoy

What format is your SD card?
I've not tried it, but maybe, you can keep your boot files (efi or isolinux) to the fat32 drive and move your all other files such as kernel, data.img, system.img, etc to an NTFS drive, overcoming the size limitation.

If you could try one thing that would great. This might help many to achieve a data size partition greater than 4 gb
1. Moving all the files to an NTFS drive (keeping the EFI and isolinux folders in your current FAT32).
2. If that doesn't work, moving the kernel file back to your FAT32 drive.
3. If that fails too, moving initrd.img back to your FAT32 drive too.
4. If that fails, moving system.img back to your FAT32 partition too. (means in the end just leaving data.img on an NTFS partition)

I already tried something similar. I tried to install RemixOS on ext4 partition. It uses the entire partition size for OS, no data.img needed at all. But the downside is it does not turn WIFI ON. I can see lot of "intent" errors in logcat when I switch to prompt window by pressing ALT+F1 in RemixOS and typing logcat at the prompt.
I will try your suggestion later today and post results to this thread.

I agree to test, but which file holds the args to look for the "ntfs drive" files instead of the fat32 drive where boot.efi file is?

set root='(hd0,gpt5)'
This tells the boot manager to look for the kernel file to boot and initrd.img.
Regarding to look for boot.efi, that you already specify in your bios settings.
Now the question is, do we need to specify an argument to detect system.img and data.img or is that automatically done?

[GUIDE][AIO]UEFI DUAL-BOOT + INCREASE STORAGE + MOUNT INTERNAL HDD Remix OS2.0 Beta

Want to have Android on your PC?
Looking to dual-boot alongside 64-bit Windows?
Want to increase internal storage beyond the maximum 8GB allocated by the Remix OS Beta PC installer?
Want to turn Android into an everyday replacement for Windows? Want to mount your internal hard disk drives and network shares?
Look no further for the ultimate guide!
After poring through countless threads, I managed to put together a working and rooted system of Remix OS, dual-booting alongside my UEFI Windows 10 setup for my own use, with storage space more than the maximum of 8GB (if installed via the Windows installer).
Below are the steps for how to install, dual-boot, root and mount 64-bit Remix OS 2.0 Beta on an ext4 partition.
SHRINKING/CREATING A PARTITION FOR REMIX OS
1. Open "Disk Management" in Windows.
2. Right-click on your system drive's primary partition (usually C, the largest-volume partition) and select "Shrink Volume". Set the desired new size for your system partition by subtracting your desired partition size for Remix OS. Mine is 20GB.
3. Wait and when you're done, right-click on the Unallocated Space. Select "New Volume" and format it to FAT32.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1. INSTALL REMIX OS ON EXT4 PARTITION
1. Download Remix OS (I am using the 64-bit version) here.
2. Install it onto a USB drive using the installer executable.
3. Boot the USB drive using your motherboard's UEFI boot menu.
4. Press "Tab", then "e" with "Resident Mode" highlighted. Press the down arrow button to go down two lines. Hit space at the end of the line before "initrd" and press "space". Type "INSTALL=0" (in caps, without quotes at the end of the line).
5. Press "Ctrl+X" to run the installer.
6. Select the partition which you just created (a "vfat" partition, usually the last number in the hard disk) and would like to install Remix OS on.
7. Format it to "ext4" partition when prompted to do so (ext4 partition will use up all the available space for the data while fat32 will require you to create a "data.img" file of specified size). Select "Yes" when prompted to create GRUB and GRUB2 EFI bootloader, and when asked for a system-write image.
8. Boot into Remix OS Beta after installation is complete and go through the first start settings until you reach the home screen. Don't mess around too much here first. There are more things to configure.
2. ROOTING REMIX OS
1. Download Linux Mint Cinnamon 64-bit version here.
2. Install it onto a USB drive using Rufus.
3. Boot the USB drive using your motherboard's UEFI boot menu.
4. Download "remixroot.zip" from this post. Save the file in your Downloads folder.
5. Open File Manager and mount your ext4 partition (should be named "Android-x86") by clicking on it. Its contents should appear.
6. Open a Terminal Window. Type the following commands:
Code:
cd Downloads
sudo unzip remixroot.zip -d "/media/mint/Android-x86/android-2016-03-01"
cd /media/mint/Android-x86/android-2016-03-01
sudo sh remixroot.sh
7. If there are no error messages, shutdown Linux Mint.
3. DUAL-BOOT REMIX OS with WINDOWS
1. Boot into Windows.
2. Download Grub2Win
3. Install it by executing Setup.bat.
4. Open Grub2Win.exe for the first time and click on "Manage EFI Partition Modules. Ensure that the Grub2Win EFI Modules are installed. Set Grub2Win as the default EFI boot loader. Close Grub2Win.
5. Download and paste this grub.cfg in the directory where you installed Grub2Win.
6. Append (hd0,5) to the partition (hard disk, partition number) where you installed Remix OS.
7. Save grub.cfg. Open Grub2Win again and click on "Manage Boot Menu" to check if the settings are correct.
4. UPDATING SUPERSU BINARY
1. Boot into Remix OS Beta by restarting your computer. The Grub2Win EFI boot loader should appear with 2 options. Select "Remix OS".
2. Download the Google Play Services installer from here.
3. Install the Google Play Services downloader, download the package and reboot Remix OS when prompted.
4. Setup your Google Account for the Google Play Store.
5. Update "SuperSU" (if available) and download "Root Checker" to check for Root Access. A SuperSU prompt should be displayed.
6. Update SuperSU binary after launching SuperSU and reboot.
5. MOUNTING INTERNAL HDD
1. Download Paragon Mounter here.
2. Grant the application root access when prompted. It should automatically mount your NTFS system drives.
3. You may access them by opening File Explorer and navigating to "Storage>My Remix>Paragon_NTFS_X" for each partition.
That's all. Hope this guide has been of use. Give a thanks and like my site's Facebook page if you have found this guide helpful. I quite like Remix OS and think feel that Android can be quite a viable replacement for Windows, especially those who tend to browse the net and watch YouTube videos more. After all, we do use Android on our phones on a daily basis already.
If I will install grub2win on Windows, I don't need to install grub and grub2 bootloader on Remix OS installation, right?

There is no way getting this to work on a 32 bit uefi? I have hardware that supports 64 bit, but my stupid bios only supports 32 bit. Quite annoying!

Hmm, technically, you're right. However, I just hit "Yes" when prompted twice during the installation process to avoid any troubles. Just don't format your primary boot partition (the one with Windows) when prompted to do so. Installing grub and grub2 bootloader won't make any difference as they will be residing on the secondary partition and the computer will boot to the first partition always (the one with Windows on it).
It is also not really possible to add an entry for Remix OS in the Windows Boot Loader at this time, from what I've read as EasyBCD is limited for a UEFI boot loader, only good for legacy Bios. Therefore, I decided to use Grub2win as the defauly bootloader. Do tell me if it works!

Wait, what do you mean by your bios supports only 32 bit with 64 bit hardware? If I'm not wrong, UEFI BIOS does not have 32-bit/64-bit classification. It's the operating system. Do you mean a 32-bit Windows installation?
If you want to be on the safe side, you could try downloading the 32-bit Remix OS ISO image and install it using the same method by booting from your USB drive. However, since you have 64-bit hardware, you should be able to install the 64-bit RemixOS fine, regardless of whether you have a 32/64-bit Windows. Have you tried it?
@XDantheManX, To get 20GB for Remix OS, do I have to follow all the 5 steps? Please be more simple. I seem to get lost at your 1st step, I am so sure if I installed the Remix OS, it will go to the New Volume just previously made.
I want to dual boot Remix OS with Ubuntu. I've already installed Remix on a ext4 partition but now I'm unable to add Remix's boot entry in GRUB2's boot selection menu. Could you pleeeease help me with that? Please?

Yes, you may install Remix OS on the New Volume from the partition you have shrunk. You may set it to 20GB or more, depending on how much you'd like to shrink the volume by.
As for increased storage space, you'll just have to follow step 1 and 3 to dual boot with windows. Install Remix using the USB installer and add its boot entry into Grub2win. The other steps are for rooting Remix OS (optional) and mounting your Windows partitions (eg. C: drive) to access them in Remix OS.

I am assuming you installed Remix OS on a separate partition using the USB installer. To dual boot Remix OS, you'll have to add a custom menu entry into Ubuntu's GRUB2. Download the grub.cfg file attached in the first post, copy the highlighted line of code in the screenshot (adjust hd (0,5) accordingly) and create a file in the /etc/grub.d folder

UEFI indeed has 32-bit and 64-bit implementations, and cheaper systems use 32-bit UEFI while running 64-bit processors. Poorly coded operating systems (actually just Linux) do not handle booting a 64-bit OS from 32-bit UEFI because again, bad programmers. And that assessment is from Intel, not me.

I hit "yes" but then when i restarted the laptop i messed up with windows entry completely eventhogh I installed it on seperated HDD partion... So question is: is it gonna be the same case here? I do not wanna destroy my laptop again, but I wanna try it! Can anyone help me? Note: My laptop does not have real HDD. It has some kind of EMMC and I know that grup call it as mmcblk(number of partion)

[GUIDE] Remix OS 3.0 alongside GRUB2

Hello everyone!
After a long day yesterday trying to install Remix OS alongside my already existing Windows 10 and Fedora 24 installations, managed by GRUB2, I finally completed the task.
I decided that I'm going to save other people wanting to do this some trouble, and post the updated guide, since personally I couldn't find it anywhere. It's mainly based on this guide and other similar ones (including the one by @remixtester here on XDA), and since RemixOS changed the install process a little bit, now it's actually done in 10 easy steps.
Recommended system requirements:
2 GHz dual core processor or better
2 GB system memory
Minimum 8 GB of free hard drive space
Internet access is helpful
1. Download the official latest Remix OS 3.0
2. Install Remix OS to a flash drive, using the provided Windows tool. If you don't have Windows, use Rufus or similar piece of software for your OS.
3. Create an at least 8 GB ext4 partition, and disable secure boot. Remember the partition number you are assigned
4. Boot from the flash drive, from the menu that follows click "e" on Resident Mode.
5. Delete > DATA= USB_DATA_PARTIOTION=1 and replace it with > INSTALL=1
6. Select your partition number, format it to ext4
7. Skip GRUB2, skip EFI GRUB and skip Write/Read Access
8. Reboot back to your Linux distro and open the Terminal
9. Log in as superuser and input: > gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom
Add (do not remove the existing text in the file) the following text to the file. Replace the "X" in set root='(hd0,gptX)' with your partition number. Also paste the text exactly as is, the formatting is crucial for it to work:
HTML:
menuentry 'Remix OS' --class android-x86 {
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,gptX)'
linuxefi /RemixOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive SRC=/RemixOS UVESA_MODE=1920x1080 verbose logo.showlogo=1
initrdefi /RemixOS/initrd.img
}
10. Rebuild your GRUB:
For Fedora distribution:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/Fedora/grub.cfg
For other Linux distributions:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Alternatively:
update-grub
Upon reboot you'll see Remix OS added to your OS entries and you should be able to boot up and use it just fine.
@engmia Great guide! Although I prefer Grub-Customiser!
The GUI makes everything so easy!
Just to be sure...

any ideas?

on bootup.
Now previously i had it installed via windows 10 on my ssd where i deleted the entry from windows boot manager and put the entry in grub. Everything booted fine. But i didnt want it on my ssd. So i followed this to put it on its own partition on a hdd with ubuntu on it. Also when i try to do the grub2-mkconfig it says "command not recognized did you mean grub-mkconfig"

In Ubuntu you can just do

Ok still cannot get this thing going. So heres the run down
UEFI Boot only in bios
sda1,2,3,4 Only windows 10 it makes 4 partitions
sdb1 storage
sdc1 efi
sdc2 ubuntu
sdc3 RemixOS
sdc4 Swap
so i do everything that the instructions say and i get an error for unable to find /RemixOS/kernel and i need to load the kernel first. i think its detecting the partition now due to no having the disk hd2,gpt3 error
Is it possible to install grub/theme using Windows?

This sounds like an error due to a wrong path set in the GRUB configuration. Are you certain you have set the correct number for your device? Do you have 3 separate hard drives on your device?

Sorry for the late reply. Frankly I don't know how to help you, I can only repeat that to me it looks an error in the partition path. Try double checking what number has your distribution been assigned to terminal.
Guys, FYI we are reworking the INSTALL=1 installer. It should be done within 2-3 weeks. Initial release might be unofficial.
i clicked remix os on the grub and this messages shows up

Can I set the data partition to a specific partiorion on my hdd ??
I have booted RemixOS with no problems however i think it would be better if i could mount one of my hard disk partition as the data partition !!
How can I do that ??
I'm on Kali linux and refind bootmanager !!
Is there a way to disable the Flashing Remix OS logo and see exactly what's going on in the terminal?
It seems to stick for an awful long time on this screen. I've put the files in a seperate partition in Ubuntu /dev/sda3 (hd0,3)
The boot sequence seems to go fine right until this screen, and I'm using the UVESA=1920x1080
I have a Lenovo laptop, booting in legacy mode with an intel chipset.
Thanks for your help

This can only be done when install Remix to flash drive? What about hard drive?

I'm quite sure there was a full text boot option somewhere, try Googling it. As far as I could remember, the flashing logo was there when the install procedure wasn't completed successfully. Can you boot from a USB drive?
Make sure to see the last few posts. @Vioner informed the install=1 will be reworked.

Thanks, but I managed to work out what my problem was, you need to ensure the SRC= command points to the remix 'system.img' I wrote everything up here for those still having problems:

The download link doesn't work, gives 404
@crazygamer64
Hopefully links are fixed. That's really odd, the links were working yesterday. But anyways, should be good again.

worked now thanks!
@crazygamer64
How did the install go? I'm trying to get some feedback vs ROC version which is the same concept just put together a little different. Trying to narrow down some booting issues on various pc setups vs stock working. Thanks

Well, everything worked out great except for that termux command which gave me : can't open flash-script.sh

UEFI or Legacy install? If UEFI, maybe try the steps from legacy. cd /system.xposed
then run sh flash-script.sh

Well if I try that then it gives me: no such file or directory edit: now it worked, u typed an . Instead of an /
Termux now gave me: can't create '/system/Xposed.prop': file already exists
Also I am using UEFI
Giving this a shot now. Will update.
Are you planning on maintaining this with OTA updates?
Edit: Awesome. I have Remix OS x64 with R/W and Xposed. Worked great, PizzaG. Many thanks!
Time to AdBlock the crap out of everything.

Awesome. One thing to note, I could not get SuperSu to open at all while in DEBUG mode. I ended up booting normal Remix OS and enabling the debug console and doing it this way. Just a heads up!
Sweet sweet proof:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, like I previously stated... If you also have another operating system installed (I have Windows 10 Pro x64) you can modify a few things about the new bootup process. Wherever you installed Remix OS (I've installed it to a seperate partition, so for me it is E:/), go there.
- Open the Remix OS folder
- Find "menu.lst" and open it with Notepad++
- Delete the entry for Remix OS DEBUG. Delete the whole entry
- Change "timeout" from '10' to '0'
- Save the file
It will look very similar to this:
Code:
default 0
timeout 0
title Resident mode - RW enabled
find --set-root /RemixOS/kernel
kernel /RemixOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_x64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SERIAL=random logo.showlogo=1 SRC=RemixOS/ REMOUNT_RW=1 DATA= CREATE_DATA_IMG=1
initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img
boot
What this will do is remove the entry for Remix OS DEBUG -- INSTALL XPOSED, force standard rooted/xposed Remix OS to boot automatically, and remove the 10 second timeout before the Remix OS selection allowing Remix to boot automatically after selecting it in the Windows bootloader. For advanced users, this can be accomplised in the Remix OS/Remix OS DEBUG selection screen also, by pressing Escape to enter the selection screen, "e" to edit lists, and following the on-screen instructions for deleting selections and saving.
Hope this helps!
Worked perfectly, thanks my friend.
After downloading, the RAR won't extract, says that the file is incomplete, any idea?

Already tried 3 times, same result on my mac, just to confirm this is the MD5 of the file:
MD5 (RemixOS_x64- Xposed-SuperSU-Gapps[v2].rar) = 44ba6fcc6330ad98f1ac375d29b54c5f
