Hi got this installed to my laptop all working great my only question is using es file explorer I can see that only aprox 4--5gb of hdd is used for the install; is there any way of accessing the rest of the hdd..... ps Remix is the only installed os on the laptop
With a "real" (linux like) installation you can use your whole disk for Remix OS - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/how-to-install-remix-os-virtualbox-to-t3301160
Thank you I will have a go at this when I can set aside some time

Hello,
i am currently trying to install Remix OS on a DELL Wyse Z90DE7 thin client because my girlfriend is enjoying mobile gaming a lot and I wanted to set this up for her as an Android gaming platform.
Originally Windows 7 embedded was installed but i want Remix to be a standalone system and not as dual boot.
My problem is that i don't want to install it on a USB flash drive, but either on the internal 4GB S-ATA Flash Disk or an external 250GB S-ATA HDD that is connected via the second S-ATA port on the mainboard of the thin client. But it simply won't boot from disk after i started the ISO from the flash drive, hit TAB and edited the line to "/kernel initrd=/initrd.img root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64 INSTALL=1 DEBUG=" to install it on the 250GB HDD. I have only few knowledge about LINUX and even less about GRUB, but I think the boot loader is the primary problem. Else I already chose NTFS and ext4 as file systems.
I know, that the hardware can run it, because after installation i was asked to reboot or run the system (i chose run) and it started to boot and i got even on the desktop. but after reboot without the attached USB drive it got stuck at "detecting android".
I hope you can help me and thanks in advance,
Dennis
hi everybody
been looking for an answer to this and haven't found one yet but what i am wanting to do is install Remix OS on my netbook that runs horriblly with windows 10 and have Remix OS be the only operating system with full access to the 320 gb hdd. i have installed Remix OS alongside windows so i can dual boot. Remix OS runs way better than windows 10 does.
is this even doable at this point or will that be something i will have to wait on for now?
use the same method to install RemixOs on virtual machine
see here
Another post which describes installing Remix OS on a hdd (using all space of the hdd) is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/how-to-install-remix-os-virtualbox-to-t3301160 . On the Remix OS USB drive you'll find a directory isolinux containing a file isolinux.cfg. Copy the section "label guestmode" and change it to
label installmode
menu label ^Install Remix OS beta to hard drive
kernel /kernel
append initrd=/initrd.img root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet INSTALL=1 DEBUG=
If you cannot perform this operation with Windows create a second USB device which you can use for booting with Linux (e.g. Ubuntu or Mint).
After having modified the isolinux.cfg you'll have to format your hdd with an ext4 and a swap partition. You can use gparted or start an Ubuntu installation which you stop after Ubuntu has formatted your disk drive (see step 2 "VirtualBox" of my documentation). After having formatted your hdd you can follow the steps 3, 4, 5 (Remix OS beta), and 7.
Hi sir
I have compiled a thread here.
Remove the bootloader entry for Windows to set it as the only OS.
Hope it solves your problem. Cheers!
Installing to an ext2 partition is the ONLY way I have found to access the entire hard drive with Remix OS as the only OS. It isn't without a glitch though: play store will run but ALL download attempts return ERROR 963. Haven't found a fix anywhere for that. Still looking though as this is definately the best OS for netbooks. Phoenix looks better but lacks a lot of the functionality of Remix.
I installed to an ext4 partition and it runs fine. Rooted and all. Do check out my thread. It's definitely one of the best OS, even for desktops. Haven't tried Phoenix OS though.
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.

Make your usb bootable with Rufus.

Edit: just read it does work but hasn't for me, been needing my wireless mouse

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
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 .

I5 7500 CPU
Samsung 850 ego 250GB (win 10 installed)
Seagate 750GB HHD
So what I done
Created a 64GB NTFS partition named it remix os
Downloaded remix os from jide, extracted then installed,
Choose hard drive and selected the remix os partition,,
Installed fines and when I reboot 2 options windows 10 and remix os...
Here's were the problems start, I select remix os it begins to load fine and gives me the language screen, when I select language it moves slightly freezes then reboots?????
I've tried reinstalling a view times,, disabled windows 10 security features in BIOS..Win sees BIOS as legacy..Not UEFI,,,
Sorry for the long winded walkthrough,, just didn't want to miss anything....
