Access All partition(including Windows) from Remix OS - Remix OS for PC

I don't know that there is any post about how to access windows partition from Remix OS, but I think there is a way.
1. Install [root]Stick Mount from Play Store
2. Open the app.
3. Some notification about SU. Click OK or something.
4. First time user will encounter a download window. There will be 2 small libraries you have to download.
5. After that support window will open. Click on anything as you wish.
6. Finally click on Mount and allow SU permission.
Done!!
All partiton will get unlock. You can see those using ES File Explorer.
I hope it helps somebody. This was new to me that's why I thought to share it.
Thanks. :good:
UPDATE: I think we have to mount the disks again as we boot the OS.

It really works. Thanks!

Does the installation have to be rooted first? When I click on Mount, I get a message, "The mount service is busy - try again in a few seconds." Trying again changes nothing. Note that I have Remix OS installed on my internal drive.

Yes. This works on rooted version only, no matter on which drive the installation is.

Worked once I installed the hacked version of Remix on my SSD. Followed the instructions, and now I can see files in all my partitions!

does remix os already rooted ?

Root for Android Wear Emulator

Hello guys! I know it's useless, but anyway, we(@MrBIMC and @r3pwn) crafted root-script for Android Wear!
Download and unzip archive, go to the folder with unpacked data and execute the script:
Code:
sh wear-root.sh
*Note that you'll have to re-run this script everytime you reboot emulator*
Enjoy!

Can u give me proper steps to root ?
Update : ROOTED
Q
@MrBIMC
why should i root it?
is there any app for it to need root access?
or any feature we can access after root?
:good:
I can only imagine what kind of apps Developers will make for rooted smartwatches. We will have to wait and see what wear offers without them first...

I'm with you. Although there may not be much of a need at the time I can see this come in handy when I go and pick up a Wear device and start tinkering. I can already think of a few uses for it. And you know what? Even if I fail, it's future proofing. Who knows what the future may bring with Wear devices and their restrictions/Wear skins?

[recovery][port][(un-)official][kinzie] twrp 3.2.1-0

After a long time of trying to get things right, i finally got things right.
So here it is:
TWRP RECOVERY 3.2.1-0 FOR THE MOTO X FORCE (KINZIE)
This is an actual port and not a recompile of a different version for another device.
It is not yet official but i intend to submit my device tree, so it gets official.
It is probably never going to be official, but i'll try and provide frequent updates.
Everything *should* work, as far as i was able to test.
I am not sure about encryption though, as i have not encrypted my device, nor do i intend to do so atm.
Encryption should be ok now. (TWRP team has put a lot of effort in this).
Encrypted partitions cannot be read atm.
This would probably also work for the Droid 2 Turbo, if someone finds a way to unlock the BL.
I will try to maintain TWRP for this device, fixes may take a while though as i am not having a lot of time to work on this.
Installation:
1. Unlock your device
2. Download the image
3. Power off the phone
4. Boot to fastboot (VOL DN + POWER)
5. plug your usb cable install via fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.2.1-0_Kinzie.img
If you want to keep OTA Update ability you can also temporary boot to TWRP. You would have to repeat this step everytime you want to go to TWRP then:
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP_3.2.1-0_Kinzie.img
Download here:
Version 3.2.1-0

Version 3.1.1-0

Version 3.1.0-0
https://www.mediafire.com/?7h4u37ddiohwy45
Credits go out to the people of Teamwin Recovery project for creating this nice piece of software!
And credits go to @Arasthel, who is a great dev!
Official Changelog 3.2.1-0
Fixes for kinzie:
- USB OTG now working
- TWRP internal folder should be now accessible via /sdcard symlink
- cm updater is reporting device correctly now as kinzie
Amazing, the most beautiful and wanted TWRP version! Tested and working perfectly! Using it as my recovery, not boot only.

Awesome! It's cool to have an actual port and to know that you will try to maintain it so we can have future updates .
I'm curious, though. What is the difference between this and clark recovery? Did you build it with the latest motorola kernel, which includes msm8994 support or make some BoardConfig changes? I mean, they share the same config and base kernel, at least, the basics that make TWRP work - wifi and other modules are a whole different story, but they are not needed for recovery.

To be honest, differences are marginal at this point, as of now we've got the fstabs by-name assignments there is almost no way of messing things up with partition assignments (which is kinda the no. 1 thing to do right in recovery). At the moment i am still using a prebuilt kernel and ramdisk i extracted from the device, because when i started building the device tree the kernel sources haven't been available. And when they finally were i decided to first fix the issues i already had, before introducing new ones. The whole graphics sub routines of TWRP (minuitwrp) recently had undergone a pretty big overhaul and so we've lost ability to flip screen on the way. I recently made a patch to fix this for overlay devices (which the kinzie is), and since then, TWRP is running fine on the native kinzie build. The overhaul also made the use of a custom graphics.c obsolete. (I suspect you had to use that?) I made the device tree mostly from scratch, only looking at similiarities at trees from hima and clark. (Hima has msm8994 too, clark has a different chipset as you know, but is a moto device).
You can have a look at it here. Please note that this is not absolute latest configuration (haven't uploaded it yet) and it still needs a little cleanup before submission. After that, i am going to throw in kernel sources from motorola and fetch the prebuilts necessary.
If you are interested in learning more you can contact me via PM.
Just flashed and working 100%. Moto X force BR version.
Thx a lot dude :good: just flashed and working.
no more upside/down issue :silly:
and nice theme btw
Thanks a lot mate! working as expected.

Xadro, just to let you know that the OTG is not working yet. Tried several things but no good yet. If you need some one to test some workarounds just let me know.

I'll look into it as soon as I can. Might also be a general issue in twrp.
Thanks for this @Xadro . I just received my Moto X Force yesterday, it's great to see this available.
One thing I noticed is that the /sdcard/TWRP folder doesn't seem to be accessible (tried ES File Ex and Android terminal). Android Terminal displayed 'do not have permission' ls -al showed normal perms for the directory

Are you talking of the external sd card (sdcard1)? Or the internal emulated one?
Moderator Edit: @MuyKurioso - it is not necessary or desirable to quote the entire OP. Some users have limited bandwidth or are Mobile - this can affect page load times. Please consider this in the future. Thanks.
Are you currently trying to port CM to Kinzie? Or just waiting to help out someone? Just curious, and thanks for all your hard work in this recovery!

You need root to look inside that folder, you need to access through data/media/0/TWRP you probably did not give superuser permissions to your file manager.
Does this work for the turbo 2?

It is accessible through TWRP file manager.
I did try with root permissions in ES File Explorer. Although i haven't tried that directory - is it a symlink?

/sdcard is a symlink to /data/media/0/. The explanation why it isnt accessible in /sdcard is simple. The folder is not owned by media_rw.
To fix this, navigate to /data/media/0 in ES File Explorer. Then highlight TWRP folder by long touching it. Go to properties and change owner and group of the folder to media_rw. This should fix access rights when trying to access the folder via /sdcard symlink.

Hello @Xadro!
I tested new Clark TWRP 3.0.0-1 version (twrp-3.0.0-1-clark.img) in my MOTO X FORCE and everything worked perfect (except MTP in my case). I believe this new version could be a good base for a Kinzie recovery. What do you think?

Remix 2.0.202 version out?

Hi, is the remix os for pc 2.0.202 release out? there's a release note on http://support.jide.com/hc/en-us website. but OTA update doesn't say so and download page isn't updated either.
Enable test builds in settings.
Its not out yet, probably getting it ready for release soon i hope, and hopefully we have audio this time around!
enable latest update in setting/about page and tap 5 time "Remix OS version" to show aditional update call "unstable update"(well its stable enough for me"
and the new update has new feauture, it has pre-rooted native apps in it ( no need to install superuser or any other root apps anymore)
just do install remix os beta update to latest 2.0.202 and replace init.img file with one that have R/W in system, cause original init.img file still only has R/O system
note : backup ur original init file for next update, cause OTA update without original init file will fail..
Ok, I was able to download the update this morning! Not sure what was added or fixed but i was sad to see audio is still not working
this remix os never worked on my computer, the installation never finish successfully . I wonder if it's a matter of driver, like my asus essence stx sound card.
Go to Setting then "About" and tap "Remix OS version" 5 times to show (unstable update). Then go back to Settings click on "Update", click on the 3 little dots (options), click "System update version options", then select "Unstable version", and go back to "Update" and it will be there.
I downloaded and placed the initrd.img into the Remix OS folder, but when any app asks for root it fails with message "libc.so is 32 bit"
Anyone know what's going on? I installed 64 bit version.

The 202 update shows in the update box as being downloaded. I am then given the option to reboot and install, but when I do, nothing changes. Does my installation have to be rooted first? I have Remix installed on the hard drive (SSD) of my Acer Timeline 1810TZ.

I have a similar problem. I'm running 2.0.102 as the only OS on an Acer touch-screen laptop that is booting from a 64GB SSD. Everything is working fine.
However, the Update window shows that Remix OS 2.0.202 B2016040501 has been downloaded.
When I click the "Reboot and Install button", the machine verifies the OTA package and reboots.
Problem is: the OS hasn't been updated at all and I'm still in 2.0.102, even though "Options / Automatically install updates" is turned on.
A step-by-step guide on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Install on Hard Disk without create partition?

Until now I was testing Remix on a flash drive, most of the stuff is running great, so I think it's time to try it on the HD.
So here's the question, it's possible to install RemixOS on HD without create partition?
I want Remix to be installed in a regular folder in my HD, with an option to select it in the OS selector when PC starts, and I want it to use data.img instead of something else... Basically just like Phoenix OS.
Is this possible?
Thx..
Cheers...

Thanks, I already saw this...
But in this guide it's not clear what the installation tool will do, if it will create partitions, if it will format something etc... Take the USB installation as an example, I never thought it would create 3 partitions on it...
That's why I'm asking this... Besides, I saw many people unable to boot into Windows after some sort of HD installation of Remix.
Have you tried this method of installation?
If yes, how is the structure of the directory, what files are in there, is it using data.img?

The hard drive installation will create a folder called "RemixOS" and add a boot entry for it in the Windows boot loader. In that folder is the kernel, initrd.img, system.img, menu.lst and some other files. An 8 GB data.img will be created on first boot. Those who have problems with booting are typically using a third-party method to install it.

It appears that for the issue mentioned in the link you posted the solution is to simply disable Secure Boot. I don't have much experience with UEFI myself, but on a BIOS system the installer worked perfectly, it didn't break either Windows or Linux Mint.

Fortunately (I hope) I'm on BIOS as well, cause I heard somewhere that disabling secure boot prevents Windows to boot. I don't know if it's a Windows requirement on UEFI machines...

So trying to root it cause your PC to not be able to boot into Remix and Windows? Whoa, that's scary man...
In your screenshot everything seems fine, and I can see that you have a bigger data than standard 8GB, did you expanded it using third part tools?

Don't mind the fact that it was originally made for Windows Mobile devices running Android on SD card, the concept is the same (add zeros to the end of data.img, then expand the partition table in the data.img to cover the extra space).

Thanks for sharing..

Thanks for the reply.
So trying to root it cause your PC to not be able to boot into Remix and Windows? Whoa, that's scary man...
In your screenshot everything seems fine, and I can see that you have a bigger data than standard 8GB, did you expanded it using third part tools?
Cheers.

no need to expand at all, you can choose between 8, 16 and 32GB

Thank you Sir.
Hmm, interesting...
Where I can choose this, in the installation tool?
And does it take too long to boot? I'm asking this because I expanded the data.img of Phoenix OS, and since then it takes a lot more time to boot.
Cheers..

nope, as long as your data.img is much smaller than your actual harddisk, you will have no problems with speed.
yes, the instalation tool asks you what size you want to use, either 8, 16 or 32 GB can be chosen

[Help] Remix OS 3.0 - How to enable HDD access for Desktop users?

Hi,
I have been using Remix OS for weeks now. It is an amazing operating system. I have tried Linux and Mac as an alternative for Windows, and only Remix OS made me use use it as my main OS. I would keep it as my main OS but I have this major annoyance with the latest version. For some reason, I could not access my secondary hard drive. This sucks because that's were I keep all my files and downloads. If someone could please post a working guide on how to enable it, I would be very thankful.
Thank you.
I'm currently using StickMount & works perfect, except for one thing... SD Maid: I don't know to do to the System Cleaner section not recognize the other partitions... tried adding them to the exclusions but does'nt work, I can only unmount then remount.

What are you excluding? /sdcard/usbStorage/ or /data/media/0/usbStorage/

Thank you. I will give it a try and I will post the results. I am currently running 403 64-bit. I'll play around with StickMount first before I reinstall 3.0

Some apps can be a bit odd when using root (and not follow symlinks); /sdcard should be a symlink to /data/media/0 so that might work here...

Please advise.

Ignore my posted screenshot above. I got it resolved by moving the RMXTools folder to the desktop instead of my secondary hard drive.
@lollyjay, xSilverlight thanks for your help guys. It worked. I am using Solid Explorer as my File Manager and although it is no longer showing by default, I can always add it to bookmark for easy access.

thanks again. however, i ended up rolling back to 403 64bit. 3.0 seems slow and laggy in my system. 8ball pool crashes too :/ will wait for a better update.
edit fstab.remix_x86,fstab.remix_x86_64,https://source.android.com/devices/storage/config.html
cd /sys/dev/block ,ls -al,cd /sys/block
example fstab
none /cache tmpfs nosuid,nodev,noatime defaults
/devices/*/usb*/* auto auto defaults voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto,encryptable=userdata
/devices/platform/*/mmc* auto auto defaults voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto,encryptable=userdata
/devices/*/* auto auto defaults voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto,encryptable=userdata
I don't HDD should /device/platform/……,you can cd /sys/block,ls -al
