Remix OS on a Cherry Trail Tablet? - Remix OS for PC
Specifically attempting to install it on an HP Envy Note 8 with an Atom x5 processor and 2GB of RAM. It originally had Windows 10 on it but I've pretty much wiped it out (formatted the entire SSD including recovery partitions).
I have an 8GB flashdrive formatted to FAT32. I run the 32 bit Remix OS installer and once it finishes I use a micro USB to USB adapter to insert the flash drive. When running the 64 bit installer the Flash Drive shows up as a bootable device and up on selecting I get an error with a memory location (ex)0x8XXXXXX something.
I tried the 32 bit installer (probably should have used that in the first place) I do the same steps use the Remix OS installer Tool and start up the tablet. However this time the tablet does not recognize the flash drive as a bootable device (literally just does not show up in the list of bootable devices have re-run the installer 3-4 times with no change). I have tried it with and without virtualization enabled and with and without secure boot enabled and get the same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
update: I got it to boot 64 with secure boot disabled. How do actually install the files to the local drive?
Update 2: Was able to install to the local hard drive by hitting e on the selection screen (Guest or Resident) and adding INSTALL=1 DEBUG= to the end of the parameters section but above the existing new line.
It's working and running well however the touchscreen is unresponsive any way to get that working? Right now I'm using a micro USB splitter and a keyboard/mouse plugged into the USB ports.
Im in, I'll recieve my mi Pad 2 soon (same cpu) I'll try to get it working too when I rcieve it is there a working Android solution for ur envy?

Check if reloading the modules helps.
Either #rmmod i2c_hid && modprobe i2c_hid
Or start RemixOS from fully off i.e. don't reboot from Windows

Remix OS is the only OS on my tab I did a complete re-install and disconnected the Keyboard and Mouse before boot (didn't actually do that intentionally as a troubleshooting tip I just needed to attach the charger). It's working now!
One issue after the next~ but im excited so far. Touch screen is working OS is installed.
Now I can't get the screen to rotate though. I double checked auto rotate is on and I also attempted to double tap F11 to get it to manually rotate but neither seems to work
Edit: On top of that I get stuck at a flashing Remix OS screen after reboot now that doesn't go away even after around 20 minutes of waiting.

Yes it's force locked by default (think of it in terms of a PC and that makes sense)
Have a look at one of my threads; either Overlay Apps, etc.. Or systemless root
Personally I'd try the systemless root (if you are running 64bit which I guess you are); it has rotation enabled and has that touchscreen 'fix' as a su.d (init.d) script.
So after restarting the system I'm stuck at a flashing Remix OS (Remix OS is installed to my hard drive after using the installer I removed the USB drive and my initial boot was from the hard drive not a USB) any way to get around this?! Persists even after multiple reboots. I've let it sit for around 20 minutes on this one now.

Thanks I'll look into it once I figure out how to get back into the OS...

Does mount show that /data is mounted? It could be that data.img has corrupted like from a bad unmount. Not sure if you have access to it; but to confirm modify grub to use guest mode (data in ram) by adding/changing DATA_IN_MEM=1
I tried add DATA_IN_MEM=1 to the boot but it didn't seem to make a difference (although it did notably restart on it's own instead of just staying at the flashing screen) where do I need to type "mount"?

So after an attempted reinstall i get the same issue anytime I shut down and restart. The only way i can boot is from the installer screen by choosing "Run Android x86" the grub boot doesn't work
edit: using the data_in_mem and data= parameters it launches in guest mode
edit 2: guest mode keeps restarting itself and doesnt respond to keyboard input
edit 3: i had plugged in a flash drive unplugging it made it go back to the remixos logo and not boot

Can you run through your install procedure, as your installing from a wiped SSD right?

Sure
I run the "Remix OS for PC Installation Tool" from a separate windows PC and use the "USB DRIVE" option to put the 64 bit remix os files on my flash drive
I then use a powered USB HUB and a Micro USB to USB converter to plug in a keyboard and the flash drive. I hold down the volume down key on my tablet to get the boot options and then choose the flash drive as the boot drive
From there I'm given the option of "resident mode" and "guest mode" I hit "e" on the resident mode and add the lines INSTALL=1 and DEBUG= to the second from last line in the grub commands.
I then get a blue screen I choose my hard drive as the install location and choose to format it to ext4, I allow grub and grub 2 to install, and install it as "read/write". It then says "expecting to write" and then runs from 0 to 100% and says syncing to disk. From there I have the option to "Boot to Android X86" or "Restart" and I remove the flash drive.
If I choose "Boot to Android X86" it boots into remix OS and I can use it until I restart. After restart I get the flashing white Remix OS logo and it never finishes booting (just to be certain it wasn't an issue with it taking a while I literally let it sit over night for about 10 hours to see if it ever finished and it did not).
If I choose "Restart" I get the flashing white Remix OS logo after the grub screen and it never loads.
I think that should cover it.

Acer C720P - Remix OS - Wildly impressed.
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.

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 Sent from my Nexus 9 using Tapatalk
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.

Remix OS 32bit on Asus T100 (no Windows)
I have a Asus t100 I'm trying to install remix os on without a windows os. I used pmagic since I'm not that good at coding, I tried coping all the files from release_Remix_OS_for_PC_32-bit_Beta_Version_Package to a new partition then when I try to boot from it my computer just goes straight to bios because theres nothing to boot.

Asus T100 uses Intel Atom Z3740, a 64bit processor. So use the 64-bit version of Remix OS. The 64-bit version of Remix OS also has UEFI, which makes making the drive easier, and booting faster. Make the bootable USB as per instructions, and disable secure boot in your BIOS. You should then be able to boot from the USB.
it won't work. T100 has 64bit processor but a 32bit system ---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ---------- go here for T100

Yes I'm having the same problem, with the new T100 that has both OS and CPU 64 bit. The thing is, whatever you do grub won't detect either an external SD card or the keyboard dock's HDD as a boot option. They don't even show up in BIOS ! The only possibility seems to be booting from internal storage, which is too limited to dual boot Windows + Remix OS. Anyone has tips for this ? Thanks

RemixOS 3.0: My adventures with secure boot
Hi, i was dying to try RemixOS 3.0. Running a Surface Pro 3 the mere thought of booting out of secure boot mode and imposing the bright orange screen to my eyes every time i started the thing was discouraging any attempts to installing RemixOs. Using another machine i installed RemixOS on a flash drive and notied it used the ubuntu grub2, which is signed and doesn't require secure boot disabled in order to start, and to my surprise i could boot remixOS from the flash drive without disableing secure boot on my surface pro 3. Then booting on a flash drive on a tablet with only one USB port... not good enough for me so if i could boot to USB with secure boot maybe i can do it from hard drive, to be honest my first attempt wasn't successful using a NTFS partition to install Remix, so i tried to install it to a FAT32 partition and was surprised when the OS actually booted in secure boot mode despite two errors : secure boot forbid loading /efi/RemixOS/exfat64.mod secure boot forbid loading /efi/RemixOS/ntfs64.mod i don't know what are those modules used for, as of now the OS runs fine except for the fact that double clicking on desktop icons crashes and resets the OS but this behaviour happens on all the machines i tested (surface pro 3 and my desktop computer). [EDIT] This only happens if the icon moves when double clicking probably comes from touchpad sensitivity and the way they handle rearranging the desktop [EDIT] TL;DR: Found out i could boot RemixOS with secure boot ON from a USB flash drive. Tried to do the same from hard drive. Didn't work using NTFS. Worked using FAT32 despite not being able to load exfat64.mod and ntfs64.mod Questions: Did someone actually found a way to install and run RemixOS without errors in a Secure Boot environment ? What are exfat64.mod and ntfs64.mod used for ? PS : touch and multitouch works fine here (i've seen people complaining about it not working, maybe for an older version)
First of all, why do you need secure boot? Sent from [email protected] 4
I don't need secure boot but as mentionned it just disgusts me when my surface pro boots up to an agressive orange screen with a black square in its center for the Surface logo which is what happens if i disable secure boot. So yeah it's just cosmetic, you can also call this personnal research on secure boot. When i was using Manjaro Linux on this same computer i learned how to sign my bootloader just so i could boot in secure boot mode.
Where to put suggestions for remix
Where would you post suggestions for remix os for pc? First suggestion would be a linux installer? On my laptop i can run it off a usb but can't get an hdd install to boot. Followed all the tutorials. Another suggestion would be a device/hardware manager. Something that would allow you to enable and disable modules in the kernel to allow specific devices to work. And modify to boot to start the modules automatically. For this i am mostly thinking about devices with multioul sound card options. Remix always seems to default to sound card one. And for a newbie like myself changing this seems to be an impossible task
Hmm.. I agree.. while the 'INSTALL=1' works (if you have a ext4 partition pre-made) -if you have a Intel onboard and a Nvidia... you also need : i915.modeset= 0 nouveau.modeset=1 INSTALL=1 DEBUG=1 But its still bugy... it took 3 attems before it showed my harddisk ( before this it only showed usb stick as install option) Perhaps a liveboot-cd or USB ? to testdrive RemixOS with option to install to harddisk/partition -would be sweet I use a dragonfly usbdac.. any sound goes tru usbdac.. when connected But I read at reddit.. that alsamixer works (select output device) not tried my self
[Need Help] Blinking Cursor after install.
Hello, I was trying to install Remix OS (i686 version) on my Acer aspire one without dualboot by booting from USB drive and installing with a INSTALL=1 key. After the 'reboot to android-x86' at the end of the installer Remix OS boots up and everything works as far as I checked. But after rebooting the system only thing I get after BIOS is blinking underscore cursor. I have tried to install Remix OS with different file systems (fat, ext4), with and without GRUB but still I get only the blinking cursor. Is it something I am doing wrong or is it a bug with the installer?
Sorry to drag this thread up, but did you ever manage to solve this? I'm having a right nightmare trying to get this installed... Constantly a flashing cursor after install - doesn't seem to matter what way I create the boot disk. It runs fine stand alone off the USB, or running it after the install has finished... but never after a reboot.
Blinking cursor I was tryed run remix OS from flashdrive on Chuwi Hi10 tablet with same result, flashing cursor. I was then try run remixOS with log mode and then look into logfile. There was some information about missing drivers for MMC internal storage. I actualy didn't get over that problem. Maybe it is same problem with your PC.
