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?
Cheers...

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...
Now it's time to build courage to install it....

I expanded the data.img using this tutorial (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/android-tp2/138623-how-get-bigger-data-img.html). Don't mind the fact that it was originally made for Windows Mobile devices running Android on SD card, the concept is the same (add zeros to the end of data.img, then expand the partition table in the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).

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

Perhaps my post can help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/how-to-install-remix-os-virtualbox-to-t3301160 :
You need to format the empty virtual disk with an ext4 and a swap partition in advance. This can be done by installing Ubuntu and stopping the installation after the 2 partitions have been created.
The second thing you need is a modified iso file which lets you start a "real" Remix OX installation.
working. kind of
I started by taking two hard disks. both 16 gb. THen, a fresh windows 10 home single language install from the microsoft website went on the first. they have an easy media creator.. and no, you won't need a key. (you only need windows for a second.)
. I added the second drive as drive D: within windows.
then i downloaded and followed the remix os instructions and ran the installer for the hard drive d:.
it took a long time first boot. i gave it 2 cores and 2.5Gb ram. if you can afford more.. do it. it took about 1.5 hours. mostly due to remix os initializing he disk.. and even though it had 16gb of space, looks like i provisioned 6Gb... wierd. but the os is light. snappy. it has a terminal with bash...
seems pretty beta like.. don't click on widgets.. the init will reset and all of your apps will close.
i still have not gotten play services on yet. i just downloaded the latest apk from the blog on the main JIVE website under FAQ.
installed... working.. connected, semi stable and useable. now to get play services started.
Very slow here
Machine settings
imgur.com/tCn7f4R
I have installed the 32 bits version,I get it in they site, but it's slow, is like it is rendering frame per frame, I think is because GPU or something, I tried differents resolutions with vga=ask boot command, but nothing change. Otherwise I have downloaded a VDMK disk with Remix OS installed, and that running perfectly, but I can't use superuser on it.
I'm from Brazil, Sorry for any error on english
READ EVERY SINGLE LINE CAREFULLY AND DO EXACTLY AS I HAVE WRITTEN IT DOWN. FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER AND YOU WILL HAVE REMIX OS ON YOUR SYSTEM IN NO TIME.
THINGS REQUIRED:
1) Grub2 for Windows (Open Source/Free)
Link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub2win/files/
2) Remix OS for PC (Courtesy of Jide)
Link: http://www.jide.com/en/remixos-for-pc
3) BIOS with legacy boot option. NO LEGACY = NO FUN. Simple as that. Can't help you there.
Note: If you have an Acer laptop, there is a very high chance that you have it. My laptop is a 2014 version, it still has legacy boot option, so chill.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4) 8Gb or more USB Pendrive or Memory Card in a Card Reader.
STEPS FOR INSTALLATION:
STEP 1 : CREATING HARD DISK PARTITION
a) Create a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) partition. For this, right click "My PC"/"My Computer" > Manage
b) Go to the "Disk Management" section.
c) Let the window initialize. Once it does that, right click one of your drives which has a large amount of free space.
d) Select "Shrink Partition".
e) Select the amount you want for android. Example, 1000 value means 1 GB, so 30000 means 30 GB. Enter this value or any value you want. Select Next.
f) In this window, select "Fat32" option. Click Next.
g) Keep clicking next, next until the window closes.
h) Congrats! You are now the proud owner of a new partition.
STEP 2 : MAKING BOOTABLE REMIX OS USB DRIVE
a) Make the bootable "Remix OS" flash drive using the tool provided in the official zip file.
b) Once done, reboot.
STEP 3 : PREPARING THE BIOS
a) Just as the computer begins to start, keep pressing F12.
b) In the BIOS menu, go to "Boot" tab and select "Legacy" option. Disable "Secure Boot".
c) Change the "Boot Order" by making the flash drive being above HDD.
d) Press F10 to save and reboot.
STEP 4 : FIRST TIME INSTALL
a) In the menu that follows, go to "Resident Mode" and press "Tab".
b) At the end of the line that apprears, write "INSTALL=1" without the double quotes.
d) Choose "FAT32" when it asks you to which format method is to be used.
e) Follow the instructions and when it asks you to install "Grub Bootloader" and "EFI Grub Bootloader" select "Skip"
f) Let it install.
g) Follow the instructions on the screen.
STEP 5 : GETTING THE INSTALLATION FOLDER NAME
1) Reboot.
2) Go to the drive in which you installed your remix os.
3) Since we formatted it to a Fat32 format, windows will be able to open it. Good. Go ahead and open it.
4) There will be a folder created, named something like "android...." with a date or reversed date. Cool. Copy the folder name. We will need it.
5) Go to your Grub2 installation and write these lines in the "conf" file:
Code:
Android
menuentry 'Remix OS' {
set root='(hd0,6)'
linux /android-2015-12-31/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SRC=/android-2015-12-31
initrd /android-2015-12-31/initrd.img
}
Note:
a)My sda number was 6. Meaning, primary hardisk, partition number 6.
b)The folder that my remix installation created was named "android-2015-12-31". So, I copied it and pasted it in the code above. Just replace your folder name here. Make sure to type the correct sda number.
c) If your harddisk does not have sda number, but something like "msdos", then replace sda with "set root=(msdos,partition number)". That shoud do it.
4) Save and reboot.
STEP 7 : INSTALLING REMIX OS WITH MAX STORAGE
Now, since we need maximum space for remix, we will install remix again, but this time with "ext4" format.
Wondering why we installed it first using Fat32 format? Well, good question. The reason is that we needed to find the folder name. Without it, we cannot boot remix os. So, we formatted it to fat32 which windows can read, so that we can open the drive and get the folder name. Simple as that.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1) Repeat Step 3 , except that when it asks you to which format to use, select "Ext4" for maximum storage.
2) Continue with the setup.
3) Reboot.
STEP 7 : BOOTING REMIX OS
1) When it asks to choose OS, select "Grub2 for Windows".
2) Select Remix OS.
3) Enjoy Remix OS.
FAQ:
Q1) I have no legacy option. How to get it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A) If you dont have a legacy option, then you are screwed. Can't help you there.
Q2) Are you an idiot? Why did you give a nonworking method when you know we have no legacy boot option?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A) Legacy boot option provides the most easiest way to install any android os, be it Phoenix OS, Remix or even x86 Android Project ROMs. So, if you don't have it, you can always use the EFI based ROMs.
Q3) I messed up my device because of you. Now what should I do?
Click to expand...

A) First of all, this is the easiest method with no chances of errors. If you messed even this up, why are you even here?

A) Aww! No, than.....wait! Is it a strawberry cupcake?
Q5) I would like to donate. Where is your paypal?

Click to collapse
A) I have done nothing. All the work was done by the superb guys and gals at http://www.android-x86.org/ . So, donate to them to keep them alive. Also, JIDE team forked their project and made their OS. So, support them too.
How do I know the sda?
Hi I don't have an option to press Tab on the Resident/Guest mode page, it doesn't do anything. I don't know if it's a difference between the Legacy and EFI versions of Remix OS (I'm using the EFI version, by the way). I was able to press 'e' to "edit selected item", but adding INSTALL=1 just caused an install error. Secure boot is off.

During the installation, it will show you a list of hard drives. There, it will also show you the hard drive number, like sda1,sda2 etc. Choose any one greater than 6. Anything less will harm your windows installation or your EFI partition.

If I format that partition I lost my Grub, so when Android ask for install grub I should say yes?

Adding "DEBUG=1" means that you want a log of what is happening behind the scene. Only useful if the remix installation is not booting up.

I am quadruple booting it, if that even makes any sense. I have a partition of ubuntu, one for windows, one for android lollipop android x86 rom and one for remix. So, yes, you can safely triple boot it. Use the method I told above, or if you dont have legacy boot, I cant help you there.

Here are the things to keep in mind:
1) If you are using linux as your primary os, this method wont work for you, or atleast I dont know about it.
2) If you have a partition for linux, leave it as is and make a seperate partition.
3) ext4 is supported, but dont format it before hand. Let the USB installer format it. Use a fat32 format in the beginning so that you can differenciate between the different partition of your system. Then, in the install screen, choose that fat32 partition and choose ext4 format for it. It will automatically format it to ext4. No further headache required.

No boot without a log.
Btw.
For those, who are using Linux as primary OS and also have already installed Grub...
I haven't tested it - but it should work.
You can try to install Remix with this method here, but don't let Remix install it's Grub.
After this is done, boot into Linux and run a "sudo update-grub" in terminal.
This should find Remix and put it in boot-options as new OS next to the others.

I thought you want to keep Linux too.
Sure it will find Windows.
In this case, you can use the installer from Remx and let it install it's Grub.
It will be the best to format Linux-partition before you start to install Remix, because then Grub only have Remix and Windows as boot-options and you will not need to edit or re-run Grub again.
Also, you could use the Linux-partition and install Remix in it.
But, if you will use ext4 format as Remix-partition, you can't do changes in Grub within Windows, like boot order. You then will need terminal app in Remix to do this.
If something will go wrong (i.e. no boot), re-run Remix-installer and re-install Grub.

Did you made you virtual harddisk bootable?
Set parameter "boot" in the installer's partition tool for your vhd.
Hi,
This is one of the ways you can try to Dual Boot Remix OS if the others failed for you. Using this method, you can choose to boot either to Windows or to Android each time you restart your computer. This method is safe and won't harm your windows files in any ways. No media inside your computer will get deleted.
Note: No EasyBCD or EasyEFI Softwares used.
Requirements:
The Remix OS Updated Version 2.0 (Released on 25th January)
The Android x86.
Android Installer:
Click this XDA thread for EFI Devices.
Click here for Legacy Devices.
You also need a 7zip software for extracting files etc.
Now, get the full tutorial from here: Dual Boot Remix OS with Windows.
This tutorial also has screenshots to help you in every step.
Note: In the tutorial I have given download link to Remix OS which is the older version, please ignore that and download the newer version of the Remix OS I gave here above.

Here's the Grub.cfg File: http://pastie.org/pastes/10680721/text
Copy it and save in notepad and choose file name as grub and file extension as cfg.
Hi, So I've got a notebook that I don't use anymore and I would like to put Remix OS / Phoenix OS on it, but wherever I look I can't find any tutorial about how to get this OS on the internal HDD !
The point is that I don't want to us it on a USB drive, and I don't want a Dual Boot either, I just want to have Remix OS / Phoenix OS as the main and only operating system on that computer.
Anyone has a solution ? Already tried to take the HDD out and use USBMaker to burn the OS directly to the HDD, but USBMaker (and other software such as Unetbootin) won't even show my hdd in the USB list ...
Make usb
Yhan maje a partition on hhd than copy all files fro musb to yout partion. And than boot from partion. And i guess you di t oook either cuz there is plwnty of thread to install in on HDD

Just copying the files from the USB Drive to the HDD doesn't work, I get a boot error when I try to boot from the HDD by doing so...
So I've tried everything I could, but I still can't get those OS to boot from the internal HDD ...
What error do you get... im guessing you dont have ufi system?. Try searching on youtube.. There is plenty of atep by step videos.

"Boot Error" That's what appears on my screen.
Every videos are showing how to dual boot... My goal is to install this OS on my laptop which has no OS installed yet, the only thing I managed to do is to boot on Phoenix OS with the USB Key, but that's too laggy as my USB ports suck.
Yes I'm on Legacy.
The strange part is that they don't provide a bootable image which actually INSTALL the OS, they only provide an IMAGE of the OS already usable...

You could try this installer.
For the distribution scroll all the way to bottom and select unknown.
Check the box for show all drives.
Edit...helps if I post the link.

Why another tutorial?
As I searched the net and XDA for a guide to actually install Remix OS and found nothing that worked for me I decided to share with you guys how I managed to install it in Resident Mode. Writing this from XDA Labs on my PC now... For me I found out that the Remix OS installer is totally useless - with some copying from Remix OS folder to root folder of the created partition and manually adding UEFI entry I managed it to boot in Guest Mode but Resident Mode was still not working (bootloop). This started to make me mad as I tried so many tutorials already...
So I tried Phoenix OS and it seemed at first that this one was much better - no need for adding UEFI boot entry or experiencing Windows boot entry problems and such as it installs GRUB and boots the OS just fine. First entry in GRUB is Windows, second one Phoenix OS. Well, started it and it booted up... finally! Used it, wanted to install an app and ran into a random reboot. After a while I recognized that these random reboots happened quite often and the system was unusable for me. So my idea was just to replace Phoenix OS files with Remix OS files as the booting part was already working... and guess... it worked! You can't choose Guest Mode though, but I think you won't need that at all on your PC.
Best one on this: you won't need to open your BIOS start-menu and can boot up normally, just choose your system in GRUB bootloader which appears automatically without the need to do anything before. I find it quite annoying to hit BIOS button to start Remix OS, don't you too? So if you are able to install but don't like that behaviour this tutorial is also for you!
So here it is...
On which machines does this work?
Should be working on all PCs / Laptops running Windows 10 with GPT and UEFI BIOS. Probably also works on machines with MBR instead of GPT partition table and legacy Bios, quite sure this works also on older Windows versions (7/8/8.1). Just let me know if it works for you or doesn't.
How to install
(1)
- Create an NTFS partition on which you want to install it (right, no FAT32 crap!). It should be at least 32 GB.
If you don't know how just search XDA or Google. There are several Remix OS installing tutorials on YouTube which show how to do that in Windows.
(2)
- Download Phoenix OS 1.0.9 RC
- Download Remix OS or Remix OS Hacked Edition if you like to have root and some tweaks for it.
I used Hacked Edition.
(3)
- Use Phoenix OS installer and install it on your created partition (make sure you got the correct drive letter! I'm not responsible if you don't and lose your data...), don't reboot.
- Open the created partition in Explorer.
Create a folder named RemixOS, move all files from PhoenixOS to RemixOS.
(Obviously Phoenix is based on Remix and expects it's data to be in RemixOS folder. Funny bug. ;D)
- Reboot. Choose Remix OS.
Enjoy the nice, buggy OS. For some this may be just everthing they need. If you're happy and experience no reboots or other bugs you should be just fine and don't have to follow the next steps.
(4)
- Reboot to Windows.
- Unzip Remix OS archive - should be 2 files: Remix OS image and installer. You could safely delete the installer as you won't need it.
Use 7zip or Winrar (or whatever) to extract the Remix OS image file into a folder.
- Move the contents of that extracted folder into the RemixOS folder on your created partition. Overwrite everything. You could also extract the image file directly into RemixOS folder.
(5)
- Reboot. Choose Remix OS.
- Done.
You now should be running a working Remix OS in Resident Mode. Works fine here.
Be nice and hit thanks if I could help you.

Hi.
Does that mean that the installation of Phoenix OS erase all the data in that partition?
Regards.

I'm not sure about that, only used it on a freshly formatted partition. Mentioned this just to make sure not to be blamed if it should do so.
There's a few things off with these instructions:
1. PhoenixOS does not use a RemixOS folder
2. PhoenixOS's grub.cfg won't boot any RemixOS version especially x64 - as PhoenixOS is 32bit only.
stock phoenixos grub.cfg
Code:
menuentry 'Phoenix OS' --class android-x86 {
search --set=root --file /efi/PhoenixOS/kernel
linux /efi/PhoenixOS/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=android_x86 SRC=/PhoenixOS vga=788
initrd /efi/PhoenixOS/initrd.img
}
Something else is going on here. Perhaps the phoenixOS's grub.efi is being used; but it's using the RemixOS grub.cfg. But I think it's just the RemixOS .efi/.cfg and something just switched the default bootloader to grub2 from WBM

Maybe, my deeper technical know-how about that is very limited, but I know that it works for me - reproducible. This is just for those like me who tried literally every guide on the net and still none worked. This one probably will. Myself, I find that kind of strange, too and I'm not able to explain why, but it does work. It's just a try and error thing, but for me it works - as already mentioned: reproducible. Got an i7 2nd gen and a X79 Gigabyte Mainboard.

I'm not saying it doesn't work; but what appears to be happening is that the first 'failed' RemixOS installation added things [to efi/esp partition]. And the PhoenixOS install added or replaced something that made the first install work correctly - it could be either the PhOS grub.efi [although that's 32bit] or as simple as it changing your default bootloader.
Download EasyUEFI if you can and see what's in the first partition - I'm just personally curious as to what is going on here.
I'm also using a non-Jide released grub [like Ubuntu users would be - but with a different setup]

Sounds very possible... Got EasyUEFI installed but I'm at work atm. Will tell/show you what's in there later this evening when I'm home. The strangest thing I didn't get: original RemixOS booted fine after copying RemixOS folder content to root - but only guest mode worked, not resident. But I mentioned that already in OP. The whole thing would have been a lot easier if I didn't ditch my Arch Linux for RemixOS (for GRUB's sake... ;D), but there were less things to learn...
These instructions didn't work for me, except for the fact that I didn't create a partition. Phoenix would come up as a boot choice but would boot loop.
