Does anyone know how well this runs on a sp4 i5? windows 10 in tablet mode is driving me nuts. Remix OS and all the touch optimized android apps it brings would make this into the perfect device for me

The new remix os beta might be able to support touchscreen, not sure though. Lets wait till its out
Same as everyone above,
I'm running a SUrface Pro 4 i7 256gb 8gb Ram device.
I couldn't get this to boot from anything other than a USB drive, got stuck because of the single USB slot so plugged in a USB port extender and plugged mouse and keyboard to that and that all started working fine. Surface keypad and touch screen functions don,t work. Also the resolution is silly small but aside from that everything else seemed fine. Hoping the beta which rolls out today might address some of this but likely not.
My current challenge is to get remix os to boot from the internal hard-drive or the micro-sd i have plugged in at the back to keep the USB port free.

I am sure it would work out soon...
It makes sense to install it on the internal card...difficult to handle a a tablet with an ugly usb drive protruding from it...unlike a desktop pc....XD

exactly! I was just happy to get it working first time round.
Runs incredibly awesome and fast on my surface pro 3. Installed on the ssd. I5 128gb 4gb. 230k antutu. If its any consolation. And on my venue 11. I5 4300y, 4gb 128gb, I actually have it installed on the micro SD. A 128gb 80mbs. Don't know why, but the venue can boot it from the micro SD, not the surface, or my onda dualos v919, or my teclast x98 pro. Weird.

That's really interesting. To be fair, microsoft only just managed to fix the bag warmer bug on the SP4 so likely some drivers on it might just be to new age.
In other news Remix OS beta is out with suport for installation on an internal drive. I found a post about how to do this manually but glad they have it baked into their install. No gurantee it will work though. Will update here once im done. http://www.jide.com/en/remixos-for-pc
Hopefully the newest beta will actually work. At work at the moment so can't test it with my SP4 yet. Been running AMIDuOS instead but it doesn't have great performance.

Simple question, how did you install it on your MicroSD card ? I'm having trouble installing it while keeping my second partition, basically I have an Asus T100 with limited SSD storage, so I'm trying to get RemixOS installed on one partition of my MicroSD card for dual boot while keeping my Windows data (files, movies...) on another partition. Any ideas ? I know there's this thing about only the active partition showing up in Windows, so a second partition won't show up in Windows (I have to do it from Linux).
Posting from the SP4 running the beta. Its good keyboard works, managed to boot from the internal partition i setup. No touchscreen support but typecover now works and the touchpad although buggy also works. i would use a usb mouse. Trying to change the resolution now doesnt recognise high res display on surface pro 4. Will post with updates.
I thing RemixOS currently doesn't recognize touchpad buttons, if you don't try to use them (as buttons), it works well, at least for me.

well, when I launched the "now old" alpha usb installer, it allows me to select my sd card, on all the tablets actually, but only the venue actually boots from the sd card... Not sure why, if there's anything I can run, or get more information for you on it, let me know. I actually only got 130k on the alpha on my surface pro 3, sorry about the typo. I installed the beta today, and well, ITS EVEN FRICKIN BETTER, lol. Everything works (except the type cover, lol, and thats the only thing working on the sp4, lol). I mean everything works. Even the windows button works and brings up the remix menu. I'm getting 160k on antutu on the beta. Only problem is, when I'm dual booting and I get the 30 second screen to choose an OS, I can't pick one, unless I have my usb wireless dongle in and my little air mouse/keyboard at the ready, then I can choose with that controller. I guess I could change the default to android, but I use windows 10 x64 too. I had to use windows to root android, with the rmx tools. Anyway, the beta is buttery smooth on the sp3. All apps working except maps, just locks up when I launch it. Audio, bluetooth, wireless 2.4 and 5.0, multitouch, windows haptic button, rotation, battery meter, volume and power buttons, front and back cameras and accelerated graphics all working perfectly. Its totally awesome, this is a super fast android/windows dual OS tablet now!!!

Hey all, just put the beta only maindektop and my venue. The desktop get 193k antutu i7 5820k @ 4ghz 16gb ddr4 256 m.2 m600 ssd. The venue gets 103k on the internal ssd, will bench on SD card later. Now installing on surface 3 (non pro cherry trail z8700), onda v919 air dual os (baytrail-t), and teclast x98 pro (cherry trail z8500). Not sure why my desktop and the venue's scores are so low. I haven't rooted and installed kernel auiditor yet though. Oh, and I'll bench the beta on my dell studio 15 7537 touchscreen lappy later too, i7 4500u, 16gb ddr3 256gb msata ssd 1gb geforce 750mand I'll bench it on my chuwi hi8 (cherry trail z8300). I'm like totally benchmark crazy right now, don't have anything better to do though. I could also put it on my lenovo miix 2 8 and my unbranded 10 inch (best buy brand), but I'm not sure what the point would be. I have 3 nexus 7s, 2 -2013s and 1 2012, I could install the arm version on the 2013s to compare with. I've got that lenovo g460 1st gen i5 560m, geforce 310m, 8gb ddr3 I picked up for $37 (most of what I have, I bought broken, and fixed it). I could go on, but I'm probably boring everybody. I'll let you know the results soon.
as far as why the beta works so well with the surface pro 3 and not with the SP4, I have no idea, it has similar hardware.
The surface pro 3 and the venue are running their full resolutions on the remix beta. Battery life is better than windows 10 x64 on both too.
Ill put it on my surface 3 and I have an old surface pro 1 lying around and let you know the results. I buy a lot of broken stuff and fix it. You should see my stack of phones, mostly s4 and s5, but I've got some others too. Seriously gadget ocd, lol. I'm posting on the venue 7130 vpro right now, not as buttery as the surface, but still snappy. Multi touch works, Bluetooth, WiFi 5.0 and 2.4 work, vibration works, windows button works, sound works, volume and power buttons work, battery meter works, maps works too, unlike the sp3. Rotation is about the only thing not working, but does on the sp3.
I was digging amiduos lollipop for a while, but yea, you just don't get the performance of running it natively. Although my desktop was getting way over 200k on antutu with it, but some things can only be run natively due to virtual machine limitations. I think this beta and the phoenix beta blow any virtual android machine away. I've run some marshmallow ones too, they just don't cut it for me.
Well, I went out and picked up another surface pro keyboard. I got the one that is backlit. The box says surface pro type cover. I didn't think it was any different than the one I already have. But...., this one works with remix, and the other doesn't. Anyway, the keyboard does work, but the trackpad doesn't work at all in remix, both work fine in windows. Also, I have maps working on my sp3. I had to go into settings and click on "let maps use full screen" and now its working. So to recap, everything on the surface pro 3 is working pretty much flawlessly with the remix beta. The front and rear cameras are a little laggy, but that's about it, oh, and the trackpad on the type cover isnt working. but bluetooth, wifi 5.0 and 2.4, rotation, vibration, windows button, surface pro stylus, battery meter, resolution, power and volume buttons, 10 point multi-touch and standby are all working very well. I'm not sure about display brightness as I haven't located where I can adjust it. Anybody know?

Thanks for the answer !
After some trials and research, I have found out that there's no way to boot from external sd card from my tablet (BIOS doesn't load it up before Windows boot). I could install RemixOS on my tablet's hard drive, but I won't be able to detach my keyboard which contains the HDD then. I have also tried the method that involves using grub2win, but for the same reasons at boot my grub2win installation isn't detected. I might try with putting it on my integrated SSD, and telling it to then look for RemixOS on my microSD when I have time, but for now it's a nope apparently.
I'll still try live booting the beta though, looks awesome !
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
Hey this is a RemixOS forum please use the Phoenix forum to discuss it.

I am one of the original members of that forum and on their tester program. Problem is that they don't keep up too well with us English users. Dante on their thread tries, but we haven't seen near as many betas and such as the cn thread. They play favorites
actually as of 2.0 remix os has hdmi support
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. Other than that, there is no problem whatsoever with my dualboot WIN 7, on my HP, or my ASUS EEE 1001px laptop, or my Gigabyte G1 A88X Sniper with Amd A8-6600k, and R7 270x. All 3 systems do everything perfectly. If someone could figure out how I can get my touchscreen to work just fine, I might even just single boot my hp with Remix, for ****s and giggles...
Thanks for the fun toy/os to **** with, and thanks for the root also. I ****ing love this site and all of the hard work the devs put into something that is ultimately so dumb. Thanks guys!

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.
Okay, so before I start, I'm just going to say I know next to nothing about chromebooks or hacking them, aside from I just bought one
With that aside, I bought an Acer Chromebook R11, and I wanted to know if there was any way I could install Remix OS on it and run that instead of Chrome OS? I know Chrome OS can run Android apps now, but Remix OS is just so much smoother and seamless in how it does everything imo, and I like it a bit more
If anyone can help, I appreciate it a lot!

It not really a good idea cause remixos stopped his development and it should stay under marshmallow ...Another alternative is phoenix already exist and last build is nougat ...
Note that I tried both under another device but my Chromebook r11 with android apps is great for me ..
The other os are not much smoother as you said ...

The reason is because Jide has left the consumer market, and had completely stopped supporting their consumer products.
Now they only work with enterprises.
Try Phoenix OS instead.

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).

Thank you so much. I am checking your recommendations as i type this.
My other problem is the 1GB Ram. Which one of those you think will work best.
I am planning on connecting it via HDMI to my TV and running just 1 android app (hmdi audio/video is all i need). I don't care about touchscreen support.

I am planning on connecting it via HDMI to my TV and running just 1 android app (hmdi audio/video is all i need). I don't care about touchscreen support.

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.
I tried ubuntu live...slow on the 700 better on the 801. I ordered an Android box..... should receive it today. Lol

And this was Ubuntu 18.04, correct?
I tried 16.04.4 64 bit

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.
