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.
Been using it from USB for weeks now I'll try the Linux USB tool, would be amazing to get this running on the hdd. Does you're touchpad work??
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 have a spare netbook lying around in the house
Can I install Remix OS on it, directly to the hard drive without any kind of dual boot?
Just plain simple remix os?
yeah you can you need to remove the hdd and then install the remix on it using a second computer and then plug that HDD back into the laptop and then u will be able to boot only remix on that laptop ... good luck
It is possible, as I have detailed in my post here. If you need the code for the grub.cfg, check here.
Enjoy Remix OS on your PC!
Its actually easy - All you need to do is boot up gparted - live linux ( i used mint linux off a usb key) - run gparted, format the hd you want as ext3 or ext4, set the boot flag (under manage flags) .. then boot the remix usb key - select resident mode, you have a few seconds to add this at the end of the line INSTALL=1
hit enter.. walk through the installer, done.. once its finished remove the key, boot from HD.

i did pin point exactly what you said to do made sure the hdd was in first boot order, and it keeps saying no operating system found, this is the closest ive gotten to getting this things to work, i have no other os on here and planning to make remix os the main and only one so PLEASE HELP!
I have a few PCs and Laptops with no OS currently installed plus the HD has limited space so I don't want to waste time and HD space by first installing Windows or Linux and then installing Remix in dual-boot configuration.
There should be a way to install Remix OS on PC with Fresh/Clean Install in Single Boot Configuration
Install as Android-x86

I have a ASUS T100 tablet PC and it has a x86 uefi bootloader. im trying to install remixOS as a standalone OS. after I do your instructions do you need to edit the grub file so it boots (not sure how to do this) and which OS should I use 32 bit or 64 bit? last time I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...nt/winapp-android-x86-installer-uefi-t3225748 to install the 64 bit version on my tablet but the new 3.0 OS doesn't work with this tool.

Thanks for the info, I tried this and it installed and booted from the installer menu however when I reboot the PC I find that the Android-x86 installer fails to create a boot partition.
I tried all possible combinations, Grub without EFI, Grub with EFI, both varitions on MBR and GPT, etc. nothing works. Even tried x86 and x64 installations

Try hitting tab
then the spacebar, then put INSTALL=1 press enter it will bring up Android X86 installer for you to format the hard drive and install on to it. This will allow it to boot without the USB drive
When I hit TAB, nothing happens. ;-/

It did solve my wifi problems
Will this retain our data or has to be fresh install?
This is great! The only problem I was having was the WiFi problem with the 3.0.101 (I was using the Ethernet, which worked great) and after upgrading it to the 3.0.102 version, the WiFi is working great. I will mention that I am running it on my HP Mini 110-3135DX from a 16GB USB 2.0 Flash drive and so far everything works pretty good and smooth. Thanks.
Still can't get play store working at all on this version...
Edit: Also still can't handle my gtx 560ti by default but seems to be slightly better. Still freezes after a few screen transitions though.
Edit 2: System time is still getting knocked out by an hour when booting back in to Windows 10. I had this on Lollipop too.
Others are getting the play issue. Any way I can help?
can't wait to try this update

I never use the app.
This method only works if you haven't already used the app to activate the Play Store
Instead go to settings/experimental features and enable debug terminal console. Then I use ALT&F1 to open debug command line and type :
pm disable com.jide.apppolicy
pm enable com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts
pm enable com.google.android.gms
pm enable com.google.android.gsf
pm enable com.google.android.partnersetup
pm enable com.google.android.feedback
pm enable com.google.android.syncadapters.calendar
pm enable com.google.android.gsf.login
pm enable com.google.android.backuptransport
After type pm list packages -d

Hi,
I require URGENT help.
Originally i had a 64GB e-mmc on my windows tablet, which had a single partition of 57GB named C:\ & Windows 8 came pre-installed on it. Rest 5GB disk was kept as Recovery by OEM.
I updated to Windows 10 last year.
Now, a month back in order to run Remix OS beta, on my laptop.
i used Windows in-built disk management tool, to shrink the C:\ drive, & took 15GB from it & set it as a new partition, & named it E:\ drive.
& disabled Secureboot in BIOS, & then installed the beta Remix OS on the E:\.
As the Remix OS beta, would not load from Windows boot menu from BIOS, i booted Windows 10 & formatted the E:\.
Today, I downloaded the "Remix OS 3.0 for PC", & through it's installation file installed the Remix OS.iso on the (E:\) 15GB partition.
After the setup of remix os (running in windows) was complete, it asked for reboot.
After reboot,
It immediately shows me a screen:
showing: GNU GRUB version 2.02~beta2.
& listing RemixOS as the only option to boot.
[Windows 10 was nowhere to be found.
Apparently Windows Boot Manager had be over-written by GNU GRUB.]
Anyways, After selecting the remix os option, it kept loading till, it shows the language setup screen.
Then i'm unable to select the English language (keyboard doesn't work).
I have to force reboot, after clicking power button for 10 seconds.
But again GNU GRUB screen comes, & only shows RemixOS as an option to boot.
I created a bootable usb drive of Partition Magic Free .iso, & tried loading it from the BIOS menu, where it showed me two options:
1. Windows Boot Manager
2. UEFI: USB USB hard drive (# pendrive)
Upon selecting the 2nd option, nothing happened. it showed the same BIOS screen.
I then created the Windows Recovery flash drive, from another Windows tablet, on the same Pen drive (after formatting it).
Now surprisingly, the laptop succesfully booted from the Windows Recovery pendrive.
But the repair tool, did not solve my problem.
So i went into command prompt (which is built-in on the Windows Recovery drive)
went into DISKPART>list disk> selected disk 0> list partition> #selected the E: partition.
gave CLEAN command,
Which apparently cleaned the whole 64GB disk, rather than cleaning the E:\ partition.
So now, i require your HELP, in getting back my important files which were in my C:\
So that after recovering them, to my external drive.
I can load a fresh Windows 10 on this 64GB e-mmc card.
Kindly tell me, which software can i use to recover data from my CLEANED disk ?
Sweeeeeeeet. Wifi is now working. and it has already mounted all my drives :good::laugh:

The problem is bigger than using a standard method unfortunately. Something fundamentally isn't working with a few peoples' installs. We've all tried that method (which is my default go to) but nothing works...
Yup, just tried the 102 version hoping my WiFi will work...still nothing. It seems I don't have the lucky chipset. I have a RTL8192CU.
Oh well...maybe with the next update.
Hi. I'm new here. So pls bear with me. I downloaded remix os yesterday in India.
I want to know how to check the version. Because wifi is still not working for me. Ethernet is.
It's showing that the version 3.0.102 has solved the wifi issue. I have a Broadcom wifi adapter. Please help.

this is so sad ...
i suggest that you install a files recovery app to your usb
if you install anything to your drive your files may be overwritten ...
so be careful .

I had the same problem. Windows wasn't deleted, it just didn't have a grub2 entry.
To reboot into Windows, I pressed "c" to access the grub2 bash command-line, and then I typed exit, which loaded me into the bios menu for my Nextbook Flexx 10.1 Windows tablet. In the bios menu, I was able to select the Windows EFI Boot Manager, and continue into Windows.
Hopefully, this solution works for you.
When you boot back into Windows, if you are like me and are unfamiliar with editing grub.cfg files to add a Windows entry, grub2win is a fairly simple UI for setting up a grub2 bootloader. And from within the grub2win UI, you can change the EFI Firmware Boot Order.
Sorry, I'm new on RemixOS. Is there any app or settings to get the update via OTA? I enabled the unstable system option, but I can't get any message. Or should I update downloading the zip from Jide?
hello I have a tablet lenovo miix 3 and I wanted to install in hard top. I have already removed Windows. But when I moved over Remix OS , boot the first he said: you need to load the kernel first...
How do ?
how can I update from 2.0.402 to 3.0.102.
I couldn't find any OTA updates in settings.....
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64 Bit
Motherboard: MSI Z97-X-Power AC
BIOS: UEFI
Secure Boot: OFF

Remix OS install tool: Remix_OS_for_PC_Installation_Tool-B2016080802
I am having trouble installing Remix OS on my MSI PC.
Every time I attempt to install Remix OS on my PC using the install tool, it ends with "Installation Failed" error. The install tool seems to successfully copy files to the specified partition. But the problem seems to occur when it attempts to install the bootloader.
I mounted the boot partition & checked it. In all my attempts at running the install tool, it never adds anything to the boot drive.
Please note, I am using a fresh installation of Windows 8.1. There are no security programs installed. Windows Defender is disabled. I have attempted installation using the built-in Administrator account, so there should be no permissions issues.
Can anyone tell me how to manually add the GRUB bootloader manually? I want to achieve what I have with my laptop (GRUB displaying "Windows/Remix OS"...and then Windows Boot Manager loads).

I am also finding the installation failing at the point of installing bootloader. Would appreciate any help you can give.
same for me on my windows qp chinese tablet. Any workaround yet?
I had the same problem. I solved it by doing the following.
First, i tried installing some "Remix OS for PC Hacked Edition", and to my surprise, it worked. The OS boot selection, and the OS both worked well.
Then, I tried installing the original Remix OS again, with the normal method, I selected not to delete my data, and there was no error this time. I'm using it right now
