Just started this thread for all to share their experience with RemixOS.
My PC specs:
*Processor - i3 (1st Gen)
*8GB DDR3 RAM
*nVidia Quadro K2000 graphics
*Belkin USB WiFi dongle
1. I got an error as stated by some people here....about the CPU being unknown.
2. It froze while "Turning on wifi" (or something) during the installation. I had to force reboot. Sadly, no wifi.
3. Completed the setup after the reboot.
3. Installed CSR2 (a racing game...to test system performance) but froze again at the opening logo. It happens too in the alpha but only after about 5~10 mins into the game.
4. Intermittent popup notifying that a program (which i launched) is not responding...with 2 buttons to 'wait' or 'close'. Didn't have that in the alpha.
Gonna try looking around and see if it can be rectified. PhoenixOS is way more stable....no freezing/hanging issues but the graphics suck.

Hello,
I have since 2 weeks and Arcohs 101 G9 Turbo 1GB RAM 250 Gb. Originally it shipped with 4.0.7 and I did not notice any issues with it. I loaded it with some 100 GB media and apps, including several large games
I made the update to 4.0.25 stock after it;s release, without wipe. Unfortunately I began to have issues:
- HDD seemed to freeze after waking the tablet from sleep / deep sleep. If i launched a large game or browsed gallery the hdd icon will stay on but nothing would happen. If the tablet would go in standby during this waiting it can no longer be waken except by reset (push Power on button for 10 seconds)
- a reboot takes 5 minutes
- disk check from recovery did not find anything
In order to solve this I did a re-flash of 4.0.25 stock with full wipe. Result
- after wipe the tablet boot up quite fast (40 sec)
- after installing again the apps / games (several GB) the boot time increased again to 5 minutes
- still testing to see if the HDD freeze after reboot remains...
I also contacted Archos asking if it is possible to revert to 4.0.7. They answered very promptly... unfortunately by issuing an RMA authorisation.
Any recommendations / experience from forum members? I would like to know I tried everything before sending the tablet to France for replacement (I expect I will be at least one month without it)...
Thank you
Robert
Short update:
I made a fresh format & reflashing of 4.0.25 from recovery and things seem to have improved: boot time is still long (2 minutes) but there were no hdd freezes in the past 24 hours. Will update again in some days.

When we will have support of the Remix for those tablets in the title, for most of us there is only black screen after installation !?
On my Encore wt8-32 ive managed to boot it. Problem is it will only consistently book in nomodeset mode which makes gpu slow and a contant blinking cursor on the screen. I have been playing around with grub.cfg trying "xforcevesa" "vga=988" "vga=971" etc... strangely on the odd occassion it booted in properly and was working fine apart from stuck in portrait mode. Frustratingly I would try and reboot with the same settings that worked and other times just get the black screen again, it's like it would just randomly work now and again, anyone know what's going on ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's exactly what I mean, only the first time it booted on my encore, after that only black screens. The messing with the grub and partly working means it can be set up correctly, my/our request is JIDE TEAM to make it stable for constant normal booting if it's possible. Or someone with the same hardware that has the knowledge ti give us some help
It runs good on my MicroCenter TW-801 - but I have not been able to get it to work on the internal drive yet only on a external usb sd card.
guys use rmx installer and use the 64bit remix os beta uefi and u will be able to get it working, but no sound, no Bluetooth, no rotation ( in my case with a m80ta I'm locked in portrait mode), no sensors basically, everything else seems to be working fine,sd reader, buttons, gpu seems to be recognized well but with no rotation most apps wont work at all
by the way the led next to my front camera is always turned on while the os is running
Apparently there is a bug in recent kernels that affects Bay Trail devices.
Try to set kernel parameters intel_idle.max_cstate=1 and tsc=reliable at the end of kernel line in grub.cfg.
That did the trick on my Asus Transformer Book T200TA.
I hope that will work for you too!
I got it working when I change resolution in grub file. I made it 800x600 and it starts then and when it starts the with native resolution.
How to get screen rotation ? It's very important for some apps !
I get hard locks at various times. Using a HP Stream 7, it has a 32 bit UEFI with a 64 bit processor. Dumbest thing I've heard of.
Running into a super weird problem. I've gotten the beta working on my Acer c720 Chromebook and Macbook Air (Via USB boot) without any issues, and really enjoying the stability and speed increase. However, when trying to boot into Remix on my main Laptop (Which worked with the Alpha, albeit with resolution issues.) things start fine, boots normally, resolution corrects itself, shows me the desktop and I can move the mouse and acts completely normal for about 15 seconds before giving up and rebooting again and going into a death loop. I've tried this with fresh installs, different sticks and the USB that I've been using on the Chromebook/Mac (Thinking the initial setup was causing a problem possibly.) but with the same effect.
I'm not seeing anyone reporting these sorts of issues (Since my laptop can actually boot and load Remix, just not keep it open) and I was wondering if anyone else was running into this issue or could know of any solutions. Thanks!
I installed this great OS in my old core 2 duo x64 laptop (dell m4400, 4gb ram). I am dual booting it with windows 10. I have installed Remix OS in second hard drive (which is connected using Harddisk caddy). Every thing works fine but when the OS boots it hangs for a short period of time. And once running it keeps hanging on regular interval like 30 sec for 1 to 5 second. Sometimes I get Android has stopped working error. Is there any fix for this? Thanks
