Hi there. Is there any chanse to boot Remix Os on this kind of tablets? Everything goes only to "detecting android" then stuck with black screen. Why ?
Hi, this is because on those tablets there's mostly Android on it, which means Remix OS' boot loader is not able to correctly detect those preinstalled partitions. If this is a dual boot tablet (Android + Windows), try starting up Windows first, then shutdown, then try starting RemixOS again.
baytrail
I know on my baytrail tablet, which came with windows on, to boot ubuntu I have to edit the grub.cfg to get it to boot. And even then it just shows a black screen for a very long time before getting to the UI.
While android is not ubuntu they do have a lot in common. I could dig out the grub.cfg if that helps.
I am running Remix OS on my Winbook TW-801 now and it works great.
Got this running on my NEC Lavie tw-708...works smooth and stable..but driver problems are present..
No Bluetooth
No rotation
No GPS
No audio
No brightness controls
No battery gauge
WiFi works
Video playback is smooth
The chipset of the device Intel atom 3735F..its a bay trail chipset with a 32bit uefi..
So strange that mine Acer W4-820 stucks on black screen after Detecting. WTF?
Means I am lucky that my tablet manufacturer officially released Remix OS.

The above does not work on my TW-801 either but I do have audio (it kind of sounds crackely though - when I route the video and audio via hdmi out -only the video works). Other than those things it works good. I was surprised that the touch screen works for me when running Remix OS. Now I want to try and make a NTFS sd and expand the data.img file so I can have more space. Anybody able to get it running on a NTFS sd and expand the data.img file? For a $150 tablet this TW-801 was a great bargain. Now I can run Windows 10, Ubuntu via VMware virtual machine, and Android. The TW-801 has a SD slot that works with 128GB sdcard - so I might try to make a partition on it. For now I am running Remix OS using a 3.0 usb card reader with a 32GB sdcard. The TW-801 has a full size 3.0 usb slot. I can also run a 3.0 usb hub for multiple usb slots (usb keyboard/mouse). I think I can use Linux Deploy to install Linux to a separate sdcard using the usb hub because there are x86 distros.

Make sure you have a fast sdcard - I used a slower one first and couldn't get it to boot.

Winbook TW802
Hi
I see one person got it to work on a Winbook. No matter what I do I can't seem to get it to boot off the USB. I got into the BIOS and put all the USB options to the top, made sure secure boot was disabled. It just goes right to Windows. no matter what I try. I also tried Legacy and EFI versions. Same result on both.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

make sure that you have the file bootia32.efi in /EFI/BOOT/ on you usb dongle.
I successfully boot on the key but it doesn't arrive on the desktop and stays stuck on a Black Screen. I have an Chuwi vi8 plus xz8300 bay trail processor.

Take a look on linux boot params on grub. try to test another params. bootia32.efi should work on any bay trail as John Wells do it for Ubuntu.

Not true. Microsoft Surface (2, 3, 4) uses those chipsets, and doesn't come with Android on it. My Teclast tablet doesn't have Android on it. Neither do 2 other tablets I looked at.
RemixOS doesn't seem to boot properly on any of these.

I would be VERY happy if you could dig up that GUB file and put it someplace where it could be downloaded.

For those who gets back screen after reboot, the solution from a linuxium's post might help. Sorry i was not able to paste an external link here. You can find the while post on google+ searching for linuxium or ian morrison.

Sometimes after installing your device only boots to a black screen. *Typically this happens when the NVRAM and ESP are out of sync. This can be easily fixed by performing the following:
1. Start with the device switched off.
2. Connect your LiveUSB.
3. Power on the device and press the relevant function key or key sequence to boot from the LiveUSB.
4. Open a terminal windows and enter:
type efibootmgr*
5. If the 'efibootmgr' is not installed enter:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y efibootmgr
6. Next remove any boot entries that may have been created through the earlier installs by entering:
* * * for BOOTENTRY in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
* * * do
* * * * * sudo efibootmgr -b ${BOOTENTRY} -B
* * * done
7. Now create an Ubuntu boot entry by entering:
sudo efibootmgr -c -d /dev/mmcblk0 -p 1 -l \\EFI\\ubuntu\\grubx64.efi -L Ubuntu
8. Remove the LiveUSB and reboot from the newly created Ubuntu entry.
Note: If you have a dual boot installation then the ESP partition may be the second partition so modify the '-p 1' in the command above to '-p 2' or to whatever the ESP partition is. Likewise for some devices the eMMC is '/dev/mmcblk1' and not '/dev/mmcblk0' so again modify the command as appropriate. If your device uses a 32-bootloader then use 'bootia32.efi' rather than 'grubx64.efi' in the command. It also sometimes doesn't work first time and requires all the steps to be repeated which should then fix the issue
First the issues. I was not able to figure out how to set it up to where I can install Remix OS on my chromebook's SSD instead of having to use a USB stick. I also wasn't able to figure out why running the ISO installer tool that comes with the most recent download (yesterday) didn't work. I used it on a 32GB PNY USB flash drive, but after going into the legacy boot menu on my Chromebook, and selecting my USB stick to boot from, it was not able to find an operating system. Instead, I used Linux Live USB Creator (LiLi). I manually selected the Remix OS ISO that came with the download, and installed it to my USB stick. My chromebook recognized it immediately as a bootable OS. It even gave me the options for guest mode, and write mode. I chose write mode. The only downside to this is not being able to choose how large the partitions should be. Either way, it installed successfully.
The awesome parts. It recognized and works uniformly with my chromebook's touch screen and touch pad. Zero issues. It even recognizes some touch-pad short cuts like two-finger scrolling, etc. It doesn't recognize some of my keys on the keyboard itself, like volume up/down, and brightness up/down, but this is easily managed at the task bar. I also tested Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes to see if games would be sluggish running on a USB stick. I don't know about all games, but that one in particular ran as though it was on my Nexus 7. Super smoothly, with no issues. Aside from it being a bit sluggish running apps for the first time, (it frequently asked if I wanted to wait, or to force close Facebook and others - hitting wait works), I am very impressed with the experience. It's everything I could hope for in a beta android desktop OS! :good: :good:
PS, I'm actually running it right now as I type this.
I got it to install on my Acer R14 with a triple boot, windows 10, ubuntu, remix os. If you use universal usb installer and install directly to a NTFS partition on your hard drive you can use RMXtools to make the data .img whatever size you want. I did it for 50GB and have installed alot of apps and i still have 48GB left. I really like this OS.
Well I tried ubuntu on my chromebook for a while, but wasn't feeling it. I would have to put it on in order to install Remix OS to a hard drive no?
No just use universal usb installer and select non-linux installation and install directly to your ntfs drive. The expand the data file with RMXTools to whatever size you want.

Is it possible to boot a linux live usb and install remix os on the ssd with Gnome disks?
There has got to be some variation in components with revisions of the C720P, because no OS I have tried to boot on mine has supported the mouse other than Gallium. If I install the GalliumOS kernel on Debian it works fine, but no idea how I would do that with Android. Your touchpad really just worked huh? Not for me, not in the version of RemixOS I downloaded from the Jide site last night, nor in the hacked edition or whatever it's called here on XDA.
My laptop Asus X8AIJ very old since 2005.....
settup on HDD,,,non USB
Win10 64bit + Remix os 2.0.0.205 with rooted ,,,,very good...but i can not settup display for as well
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

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.

I've done it successful install Sony Bravia graphics engine the photos look awesome and the movies have a nice completion to the eye. I read the install script in the zip file I downloaded from XDA did it all in terminal same thing for Numbers. That builds a pretty kickin system.img wait till you listen to music of your choice. If you want to install as a single boot operating system you can the only thing is it's not rooted but performance makes up for it. I think the only reason why it's rooted for Windows is because Android system needs to write log files to an ext4 partition and the system image is the only place for them. It needs to be mounted rw to do this and that is why they don't last. Now to install as single boot first make a bootable USB drive with Rufus or Unetbootin. Then disconnect all USB drives but if you would like to install it on a external hard drive too leave it plugged in you can create a USB external hard drive install post install and it will not effect the computer installation and if you have multiple drives disconnect all but target drive. Now boot the USB drive we just made and when the boot menu is on the screen press e. Where it says DATA= USB_.BLAH_BLAH_BLAH delete the everything thing on that line past DATA= then add INSTALL=2 . It should look like this DATA= INSTALL=2 this will install RemixOS press F10 to boot. The install goes quick and the modified menu entries for grub will also be installed. There is support for 4k monitors and external monitors for laptops and Surface pro 3. In all there is 6 different menu entries you should find what you're looking for. I also noticed Google has removed gapps from Remix Hacked this ISO has gapps installed. Its still the same Remix Hacked so it has just got better. Download is on MEGA link is in the attachment.. Thanks again.

Hello All,
Years ago, I installed CyanogenMod 10.1. The TP works OK. Here's the info:
- Android version: 4.2.2
- Kernel version: 2.6.35-cyanogenmod [email protected] #1 Tue Dec 10 17:10:10 CST 2013
- CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l)
- CyanogenMod version: 10.1-20131210-SNAPSHOT-VPN-tenderloin
- Build date: Tue Dec 10 17:05:54 CST 2013
- Build number: cm_tenderloin-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39E 8d5ffaac34 test-keys
From what I know, external USB can be connected to HP TP via OTG cable and external power. So in an effort to use this HP TP (which has been collecting dust) as a digital frame, I follow this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc7tlPwFQpg&t=198s
The guy has links to buy OTG cable and Y adapter:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005QX7KYU/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041CFFBM/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
So I bought (2) OTG cables and (2) Y adapters from the above links.
The power adapter I use is a working 2A one (brand name: Amazon). I formatted the USB thumb drive. Then loaded a few jpeg files to the thumb drive.
When I followed the above Youtube video to plug the USB drive, the app 'ES Explorer' does recognize the USB drive but it shows 'Empty folder'. I changed out OTG and Y cables but still the same: the HP Touchpad won't recognize the jpeg files on the thumb drive.
Please tell me what I did wrong and show me how to fix it.
I'm open to two solutions:
1) Open the HP TP up and solder a SD/micro SD module (I'm a circuit technician and have no problems doing that).
2) Wipe out the HP TP and install another Android version newer and/or capable of reading external thumb drives (I hate wasting a nostalgic HP TP).
Thank you very much for your help.

This is the OTG cable that I use and another one that could not find on line:
Click HERE for 4 Port Micro USB
I had use it with a 16GB USB drive on Evervolv 7.1.2 for curiosity to see how it works and I was very impress with the speed. I was able to play movies from the USB drive and at the same time also connected an USB Ethernet ( I had to incorporate the driver into the kernel ).
It is possible to have more than one USB device connected at same time, like USB drive, Keyboard, mouse and wire Ethernet. The tablet is like a laptop with connections by wire.
If ES Explore recognize the USB drive then the OTG cables is good, but you need another software to be able to read the files. I tried it Total Commander and there was another software to mount the partition, I think it was Paragon:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.tcplugins_ntfs_ro&hl=en_US
Install that to mount the USB drive and then the files should be available in ES Explore if not then try Total Commander and use the plug in for it.
Thanks but unfortunately none of those work because those methods only work for at least Android 4.4. Please let me know how to 1) wipe the TP and 2) find a stable and newer Android OS / CyanogenMod to install on the TP which will only be used as a digital frame and not anything else (no internet browsing, games, etc.).
All I see is this:

but both don't have step by step installation guides.

Thanks. I downloaded 'TWRP Recovery Version 3.2' to my computer, unzip and copy the files to the HP TP root directory. Unplug the TP from computer. Turn off the TP completely then boot it up again. No recovery menu to choose other than WebOS Recovery and some other menu options unrelated to automatic wipe out. So I'm stuck there.
Can I use this one instead?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP-FH6fS2GI
He basically shows step by step how to uninstall everything by plugging the TP to a computer which already has Nova installed.
Part 2: Let's say everything is wiped out, which android version would you recommend given my simple use of the TP? This is Android Pie 9.0 on Youtube (same instructor): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAuNSoe6euI

TWRP 3.2.1 needs to be flash using another recovery, if the uImage.Recovery is copy into boot then the file moboot.default needs to be edited and add uImage.Recovery to show in the moboot menu. It is best to flash it as it will create the entry for moboot menu. But now there is a copy there and the /boot maybe full and it needs to be clean.

As mentioned the entry uImage.Recovery must be add to a file in the /boot partition.

So I created a bootable USB drive having 'HP_Touchpad_Novacom_Repair_Android'. Change my laptop boot priority to USB and used 'unetbootin-windows-677' to 'Wipe All' the Android version. After that, every time the HP TP is booted, only a moboot 0.3.8 menu appears with these options:
- boot Recovery
- boot webOS recovery
- reboot
- shutdown
Now, I have downloaded these zip files:
- ev_tenderloin-7.1.2-nightly-2017.11.03
- HpTp_MaXtreme_1674_CPU_Universal_Optimize_Swap_Evervolv_7_1_2_Nougat

I need to copy these zip files to the tablet but I don't know how: Turn the tablet on and select 'boot webOS recovery' and the white USB logo appears. Then connect the tablet to a laptop with Windows 10 running Then a message pops up 'We're setting up Palm device'. I open Windows Explorer to copy the zip files to the tablet but there's no 'Palm' folder (before Android was wiped out, I do see 'Palm' folder in Windows Explorer). Can you tell me how to copy the zip files to the table then? Should I copy those zip files to the bootable usb thumb drive then run unetbootin-windows-677 on the laptopn and copy the zip files over to the tablet?

So I created a bootable USB drive having 'HP_Touchpad_Novacom_Repair_Android'. Change my laptop boot priority to USB and used 'unetbootin-windows-677' to 'Wipe All' the Android version. After that, every time the HP TP is booted, only a moboot 0.3.8 menu appears with these options:
Great Job! now you have a Linux OS with built in Novacom drivers that will always work no matter what.
- boot Recovery
- boot webOS recovery
- reboot
- shutdown
The tablet has been completely wipe and only the Android partitions were created.
boot Recovery is TWRP 3.2..1 by @flitman that allows to flash any Android ROM and works 100 % all the time.
Now, I have downloaded these zip files:
- ev_tenderloin-7.1.2-nightly-2017.11.03
- HpTp_MaXtreme_1674_CPU_Universal_Optimize_Swap_Evervolv_7_1_2_Nougat
- open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20200520

WebOS Recovery is only use to repair the Tablet ( troubleshooting )
Recovery TWRP is the App that is use to flash any ROM.
Boot into TWRP connect the Tablet to any PC, Micro SD will show ( is like a portable USB storage ) It works on any PC there is no need to have the novacom drivers install.
Copy all the zip files to the Micro SD card or USB ( it has different names )
Go to TWRP on the Tablet and select the zip files to flash, when done reboot.
It is very simple the only thing to do is select and flash that is it.
Here are some youtube videos about HP Touchpad Novacom Repair for Android, that shows how is use:

Thanks a lot. I was able to installed Nougat on TP. Try to install Paragon exfat/ntfs software but the software shows it's not compatible with HP TP Nougat 7. Installed Total Commander then install the plug-in (USB Stick, free trial btw) then the tablet restarted by itself. As it turns out, the battery drained from 50% to 0% right after installing the plug-in.
So now I'm monitoring the tablet to see if there are problems.
Also, System Storage and (Android Stock) Gallery both don't see the pictures of the usb thumb drive. The only one app can see the usb drive is Total Commander. I clicked on the pictures but there's no photo browsing app associated with Total Commander so I can't see the photo slides. If you happen to know such a photo viewing app compatible with Total Commander, please let me know.

Always keep the tablet charging, it will prolong the battery life.

That is a limitation of Android but some apps would be able to read the USB, to look here:

I know that using a USB stick is the most cost effective and easy way to set up, but also keep in mind a wireless hard drive, of you can set up a share folder from a PC and connect the Tablet and show all the photos from a network location. There are many ways the tablet can produce a slide show.

When I click on a photo on USB stick in Total Commander, a menu pops up 'with 2 options:
- Download+Open with
- Download+Edit
But whatever option you choose, nothing happens. It can't even view a photo. So I guess Total Commander is trying to associate a photo with an photo viewing app but it can't find such an app.
For ES Explorer, it can open a photo but no slideshow ( I heard that previous version of ES Explorer had that feature) so you have to manually click on the next photo.
Don't bother with Google Photos because it can't detect photos on the USB stick. So for now, I copy some of my pictures on the HP TP internal storage and play the slideshow by running Google Photos.
Hoping one day either ES Explorer or Total Commander can do slideshows.
Thanks for all your tremendous help.
