So, here is my tablet condition:
1. UEFI
2. Windows 10 32 bit
3. 64-bit Processor
4. Secure boot already off
RemixOS version I use : 64bit Beta version (with UEFI compability)
Installed it using "official procedure tool'.
What have I try to do and what happens after it:
1. Installing remix OS via installer provided on Hard Disk (C: drive only available with 7GBs of free space)
a. Rebooting using provided reboot message from installer
Result : rebooting automatically to win 10 without boot option.
b. Rebooting using "shift + restart" (Advanced Startup)
Result : When choosing "boot from a different place", there is "Remix OS" listed alongside with "EFI USB", "USB CD", etc. But, when I choose Remix OS, it runs straight to windows 10 instead (no error or anything else, just boot through it).
2. Installing Remix OS via installer provided on USB drive (32GB)
Same result with point 1a and 1b.
Other options I have "tried":
- I have tried installed using EasyBCD, but turns out it doesn't provide much compability with UEFI boot mode.
- I tried using easyUEFI, but since I don't have any FAT32 drives (my SD Card is exFAT formatted, and C: can't be partitioned using partition manager tool), it doesn't help me.
- I tried using the grub2win option, but since my windows version is a 32bit one, grub2win can't run.
- There is no option to turn the UEFI BIOS mode to legacy.
Question:
- Why the booting runs straight to windows, without even showing any boot options?
- Why the booting still runs straight to windows even after selecting Remix OS from advanced startup boot?
- Any options left for me to try?
You can not run any 64 bit OS on this Tablet. Because UEFI only support 32 bit OS. Many Bay-Trail tablets has this limitation.
I agree here,baytrail is generally 32 bits

I don't really know what's going on here. I think it's maybe UEFI related. I own an Asus Zenbook Pro (model UX501VW in case if that matters). I can't get Remix OS 2.0 Beta urnning on my SSD. I've already disabled Secure Boot and Fast Boot but I always get stuck on "Detecting Android x86.............." infinite bootloop.
Installed it with the official tool in the original partition (C
Installed it in a secondary partition (D:, FAT32)
Used EasyBCD
Used Unetbootin
Used Grub2Win (interestingly, It leads to a blackscreen instead of the other error)
In fact. I'm not able to run it. I know that the ISO isn't corrupted because I can run it in VMWare Workstation.
Any thoughts?
Same here
In which field its stuck on booting or on build the rom
It doesn't even build the partition to install the ROM on it. Even if I create the partition by myself, it will show the same problem.
In the screen where you have to select boot RemixOS or Windows, just press c and go to grub> prompt. Type ls and see what is your HDD partition structure. You can also press e and go to check actual install command. You may have to make changes to /efi/boot/grub.cfg. I can help.
I have a few PCs and Laptops with no OS currently installed plus the HD has limited space so I don't want to waste time and HD space by first installing Windows or Linux and then installing Remix in dual-boot configuration.
There should be a way to install Remix OS on PC with Fresh/Clean Install in Single Boot Configuration
Install as Android-x86

Burn ISO with any tool, the boot to resident mode, before selecting Resident Mode press TAB and delete (SRC= DATA=) to end, then type INSTALL=1

I have a ASUS T100 tablet PC and it has a x86 uefi bootloader. im trying to install remixOS as a standalone OS. after I do your instructions do you need to edit the grub file so it boots (not sure how to do this) and which OS should I use 32 bit or 64 bit? last time I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...nt/winapp-android-x86-installer-uefi-t3225748 to install the 64 bit version on my tablet but the new 3.0 OS doesn't work with this tool.

Thanks for the info, I tried this and it installed and booted from the installer menu however when I reboot the PC I find that the Android-x86 installer fails to create a boot partition.
I tried all possible combinations, Grub without EFI, Grub with EFI, both varitions on MBR and GPT, etc. nothing works. Even tried x86 and x64 installations

You Must continue setup as android x86 - i mean creating partition + make it bootable
look at this guide

Try hitting tab
then the spacebar, then put INSTALL=1 press enter it will bring up Android X86 installer for you to format the hard drive and install on to it. This will allow it to boot without the USB drive
When I hit TAB, nothing happens. ;-/
I couldn't tell from the cryptic instructions whether I would end up with a conventional dual boot arrangement if I install remix on my windows 7 hp pro x2 612 touchscreen laptop. I don't want to lose the windows 7. I downloaded what I think is the most recent version Remix_OS_for_PC_Android_M_64bit_B2016101201. Also can I burn the iso to a disc (not usb drive) and use the included windows installer. Will remix boot from the disc so I can check it out on my pc before installing it?
Does remix allow installing conventional linux applications such as full libreoffice or is it limited to google play offerings. Is there a guide anywhere to side loading whatever is needed to get the google play store working. Appreciate any help with all these questions. Thanks so much
@spb37
Installing using the official installer will not do any harm to the Windows 7 installation. If you chose to install on the same partition as Windows, it will be placed in a separate folder and a boot menuentry will be added.
So, yes, you end up with a conventional dual boot arrangement
Remix OS .iso was not designed to work on disc mediums so I do not recommend to try and boot from a disc.
Instead, better use a USB storage Device to test Remix out.
Remix OS is a fork of Android-x86 project (coming from AOSP) so it doesn't have a Linux GUI packages installer. You won't be able to install LibreOffice on it.
Play Store comes pre-installed as long as you select the respective option during first boot.
It depend
i've create one partition and install with INSTALL=1
taking grub not grub 2 saying add one instruction for choose os remix or Windows 7 at the starting up (it had work perfectly with the pc of my friend but not with mine .
Remix OS is supposed to use the blue Windows Boot Manager, correct?
But on my Windows tablet (Lenovo Miix 700), I always get a gray boot screen which asks me to choose "Windows" or "Remix OS".
If I select "Windows", then it will load the blue Windows Boot Manager screen (without the Remix OS option).
Can anyone explain what's going wrong?
How can I force Remix OS to use the actual Windows Boot Manager?
The reason I want the actual Windows Boot Manager is because it's easy to customize the countdown timer & boot preference. With the current gray boot screen, I can only edit the timer by mounting my boot partition & editing complicated files.
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
Bios: UEFI with Secure Boot & Fast Boot disabled.
Remix OS version: Latest (3.0.207)
Installation method: Remix OS For PC "Installation Tool" (16 gb chosen, targetted to 20 gb NTFS partition, drive letter "R:" assigned)
Okay, I discovered the solution. You can read the quoted posts below. It is not possible to add Remix OS as an option in the Windows Boot Manager...if the Windows OS was installed in UEFI.
I don't know why this isn't made more public.
I wasted so many days trying all sorts of experiments, and thinking something was wrong with my system.

UEFI WBM can't load anything other than windows bootloader; so it can't chainload grub2. It does however see any /efi folder as a seperate UEFI [usb] device.

If Windows was installed in BIOS mode, you get the Windows boot menu which is touch compatible, but if Windows was installed in UEFI mode, then the Windows boot menu can't be used to load non-Windows operating systems (thanks Microsoft) and so you get the non-touch grub boot menu. Annoying, I know, and it's the reason I ended up rebuilding my Lenovo Thinkpad Helix in BIOS mode, despite the slower boot process.

Recently, I just installed Remix OS on my USB and it worked fine. Because of my USB port are bit unstable, I just trying to install Remix OS on my HDD (hd0,7). But, when trying to boot from Windows Boot Loader. It shows "minimal BASH-like command - - -" , i found a solution for this and bring me to the Remix Mode Options (Resident/Guest). I tried to boot Remix from any options but it only shows and stop at blinking kernel messages and error message
"intel_powerclamp: Intel powerclamp does not run on family 28 model 43
intel_rapl : driver does not support cpu family 28 model 43"
When booting from USB, it doesn't matter and it can continue booting to Remix, but it won't continue boot when ran from HDD from my HP 14 Notebook PC.
I have alternative by using my Ubuntu's Grub legacy and succesfully boot. but, it won't save any settings.
Please help me to resolve my problem.
Here's my Laptop Specifications:
CPU: AMD-A8 6410 2.0GHz
GPU: Onboard
RAM: 2GB, 1.71GB usable
Boot Mode: Legacy, Secure boot: OFF
Installed OSes: Windows 7, Windows 10, Ubuntu, Remix OS(unbootable).
N. B: sorry, bad english. I'm javanese

It seems you're booting into guest mode since nothing is being saved. How do you boot into Remix OS? I have an HP laptop too and press F9 as the laptop boots which then allows me to boot using the EFI file. That's the only way I can boot into it as the dual-boot screen doesn't appear automatically. You have quite a bit of software installed for a machine with only 2GB of RAM in total but I don't think that's your problem. Have you installed it onto a separate partition or installed it into the Windows drive in a folder? I made a new partition of 32GB, gave it a random letter for the drive, and it boots fine to that as long as I press F9 immediately on boot (repeatedly) until the boot loader menu comes up and I choose the EFI file to boot from, and eventually after that using grub.
All HP machines have the same F9 function key which will pull up the boot menu. Try that and see if you have the option to boot from EFI or EFIx64 depending on your system. I don't know why it's not saving anything from your sessions unless it is a lack of RAM/virtual memory space. I wasn't even aware there was a guest mode if you installed to hdd (so maybe there isn't). You could try to produce a logcat of what is happening as you boot and especially as you shut down to find out why it's not holding anything from your sessions in memory. I have 8GB of RAM in my laptop but as far as I know Remix OS only gets to use a fraction of that (about 2GB) so if you're only using a 2GB RAM in total laptop with several OS already installed on it you were bound to hit problems sooner or later as you add more, but whether that's related to your current problem I wouldn't know.
Well, I guess it was my fault because of using Linux-created Partition more than using Windows one. Maybe I'll try using windows-created partition, Thanks for your reply.
EDIT: It doesn't work, I tried to install it on 9 Laptops with 7 Models for 5 Manufactures (My friends are Remix Anthusiast you know) and only 2 Models have same problem with me. My Conclusion is that my Laptop model aren't supported yet to boot RemixOS from HDD.
