I've been running Remix OS from my USB 3.0 stick on a Acer C720P Chromebook. The most recent installer in the download on your website works fine when installing the contents to a USB stick, but my Chromebook wouldn't recognize it what-so-ever in the legacy boot menu. I had to extract the .iso and use it with Linux Live USB creator for my chromebook to finally recognize it as bootable. Once I got it booting, the touchscreen and touchpad both work great, but doesn't recognize the "F" keys, which is a bummer for trying to turn up/down brightness and volume. When closing my chromebook, and then opening it back up again, I sometimes lose my touchscreen function. Not sure what would cause that. Also, I'm able to place all of my widgets where I want them in the widgets app, but the only button I see is a + at the bottom, and then the grid for placement. After I place everything, and go back to the home screen, none of my widgets are there, but the app itself still has all my widgets there and where I've placed/resized them when I pop open the app again.
Apps that require a lot of input and manipulation like chrome, facebook, etc. constantly time out and pop up with a "Wait or force close" box. I suspect this is because I'm running the OS on the USB stick. Chromebook users have been begging for more of an android experience on their chromebooks for ages now due to Chrome OS's.... limits. Your OS so far has been very promising! Games from the app store run very smoothly, and work great with the touch screen. My only hope is that you guys create an install-to-hard drive option in the future as an option on USB keys... Hopefully with a easy-to-understand for-dummies partitioning interface for easy dual booting installation with other OS's.

My Archos 80 G9 250GB freezes too many times...
It happens very often that I start an application (Dolphin, Skype, file manager, video player or any other app), the screen goes blank, and nothing else.
And very often all what happens is that a window pops up in the middle, saying that the app is not responding, and ask me whether to close the app or wait more, but there is no use in waiting. After this in most cases none of the apps are responding, even the home and return buttons go dead. They get highlighted after pressing them, but nothing else.
I have the feeling that this happens mostly when some data are needed to be transferred from the HDD. Can I test the HDD somehow? Any app for this?
I reset the android every 2 -3 weeks time (Settings -> Repair and Formatting -> Reset Android), but I'm fed up with installing all the applications back in place.
After resetting, everything works better (not perfect, anyway) for a couple of days, then it goes ballistic again.
I install applications only from Play Market, and a total of not more than 30 apps (no games, apps only).
Any suggestion? I desperately want to find out whether is it a software or hardware issue.
Thank You.
Any suggestion?
Im assuming you have the 1.0 or 1.2 GHz version? That seems to be the fate with these slow processors combined with the spin up needed for HDDs.
There is a possibility that one of these apps is causing your tablet to slow. I recommend you do a format in recovery, reinstall the latest ICS, and test one app at a time and see if you can find something that slows it down.
Thanks for your answer.
It is the 1.0 version.
Hi.. thanks for your time..
I Have been reading many topics an thought maybe the issue i have is with android-x86-4.4-RC1 an my desktop hardware and after accepting that thought i gave up on it...a week ago i found out android-x86-4.4-RC2 comes out an now i am a bit confuse...help me out please.

So, I've been in the last row of Desktop space in Windows for years now, but it never really filled.
Programs were added, and programs were removed.
So, No idea how Windows deals with shortage of Desktop space. (I should find that out too)
But, my Desktop space in Remix OS filled within days. ANd I don't know how to increase it.
Should I uninstall or disable My Desktop and add a launcher ? (it being a system core app and all, probably not a good idea)
And anyway, I love Remix OS shortcuts, quick to access , easy to find. One of the many wonderful things I love about Remix OS.
So, how do I go about it ?
The Start Menu/App Drawer exists, but I don't want to be clicking that everytime I've to access something.

In your screenshot I see apps like "Docs" and "Sheets". In other screenshots I saw app "Skype", too.
I can install these 3 apps, but on my computer (Lenovo T400) they do not run. One or two seconds after I have started them, they stop working and disappear from the screen. Other apps like Dropbox, Evernote, K-9, Firefox, etc. run without any problem.
Did you (or someone else) run Skype, Docs, or Sheets successfully on Remix OS?
Haven't tried Skype yet, but Doc/Sheets work fine.
Have you tried running them in fullscreen mode - ON ?
And did you download those apps from PLayy store ?

You can use Nova Launcher and its ability to group similar apps. See my post:

I tried it on 2 laptops, on 1 (i5, intel graphics) everything runs fine.
On the other one (old intel processor, old nvidia graphics) it boots up but some apps (skype, antutu for example) just close right after starting. Also i can create folders on desktop buf i cant open them directly, filemanager just closes like other apps. However if i start the filemanager and navigate to the folder in there it works.
I also tried it on an intel atom (server board tho) runs really smooth on there but both onboard network ports are not working. When i go to ethernet settings it shows som (random?) mac address, witch doesn't belong to any of the network ports. I hope my network chip will be supported in some future release.

It looks like the latest version has addressed an issue that I had (no external partition access), which resulted in me rolling back to last 2.x version. I have a dual boot setup, with a shared partition between Windows and Remix, which I am guessing I can access again now.
Are you planning on re-implementing the app settings feature for window/full screen on start? I noticed that this was missing (unless moved somewhere else). I am not sure if this is connected, but the program "Music Studio" opens briefly in a window and crashes. The app needs to be in full screen mode to work, but I dont have a way of doing this, now that this feaure has gone. Perhaps the crash is unrelated. Can you add "Never" as a sleep option again please?
Thanks!
Try PhoenixOS instead, it has no problems with windows. If an app can't run in windowed mode, it will run it in fullscreen and won't let you resize it. I've only found few apps not supporting full screen.
In remix, go to settings > remix settings > windowed mode app list
And for future:
First look for it, then search forums, then ask on forums, not the opposite.

I've just got a new Android tv box Vontar Kiii. Overall a very good box. However, the box cannot run any apps in background like other normal android device. It always kills app as soon as I press the Home button. This happens to every app I run. I have particular problem when I run Openvpn Connect, it will immediately disconnect as soon as I leave the app. This never happens to my other Android phones or tablets.
I'm not sure why the rom set to kill the apps and not allowed them to run in background at all.
The box has 2gb ram, rooted.
How can I make it behave like a normal Android device?
Thanks in advance.
Update: solved. I have to press back key instead of home key.
Up, i have the same problem...
UP, in the past i knew how to fix it, it was something in the built.prop if i remember right.
My old KIII doesnt got this problem i fixed it somehow but my friends one got the same problem...
Dammit can no one help, it was written here in the forum if i remember right...
Finally found it....
So you have to use a explorer with root access and delete or edit "allowbackgroundapp.list" located at "/system/etc"
I use to edit the list and add the names of apps i wanne run in the background, like "org.xbmc.kodi" , "tv.twitch.android.app" or "org.mozilla.firefox".
Actually pretty easy, hope i could
