Hi all,
Been toying around with putting a full blown multitasking Android OS on my X8 which runs on an Amlogic S802 SOC.
I found Phoenix OS (http://www.phoenixos.com/) which supports some ARM devices as well as X86 devices.
My question is whether it will work on the X8 as it states on the Phoenix website that the only ARM devices currently supporting are the Nexus 7, 9 and 10.
Any help would be appreciated in terms of attempting to get this running without bricking the device.
TIA.

Hi everyone,
I would like to ask anyone this.. Is there any chance (or development in progress) to install Windows (no matter if Win 7, 8 or 8.1) onto Intel Bay Trail-T based Android Tablets ???
In my case it is Lenovo TAB S8-50F (currently with Android KitKat 4.4.2) with Intel Atom Z3745 (64bit CPU), 2GB RAM, GPU Intel HD (screen resolution 1920x1200). I believe these specs should make enough performance for Windows.
As I am a more advanced user only... Is there any developer who has the same idea and is able to think about details (BIOS, drivers and so on) ??
Thanks in advance
Hey!
There are many Intel z2580 android devices out there without proper Kikat updates. Sure they may be lesser known but some have a larger following.
Few manufacturers have made the effort to provide kitkat updates for this modern chipset. I'd say there is a significant interest to at least try to create some generic port of the few kitkat firmwares that are available. This could be the whats needed to get the ball rolling.
What are your thoughts? (Check out the post below for a few details.)
Thank you for reading.

There is an androidx86 project that has already released a 4.4 KitKat android for x86 devices (netbooks etc.) Could something like that be used in Ramos i8, i9 or similar Intel processor devices somehow? I suppose the install process is the hardest part...
Here is the link to the project:

The Dell Venue 3830 tablet (8 and 7 inch-3730) is to my knowledge the only z2580 based android tablet that has an official kitkat release.
Since there are so many different z2580 devices out there without updates newer than 4.2.2 it would be a great project for many people (including me) to see if that Dell rom can be ported and optimized for other z2580 devices.
My major issue is ram on my 1GB z2580 tablet (only ~200mb free after clean reboot). A kitkat update would in many ways solve that issue and make the tablet a solid useable device. (No my kernel does not support swap.) The cpu is quite fast and a shame to waste.
Edit: Asus Zenfone 5 and 6 are both Intel z2580 devices with official kitkat updates, (and cyanogenmod seems to be supported, surprisingly). Their roms could be useful for the z2580 community. Possibly moreso than the Dell Venue since reports show the kitkat firmware to have some stability issues for some people.

Hi,does anyone know if there s any way to boot remix os on intel x86 android tablets? I have an Asus k016 and lollipop here is very sloooowww even with root and removed bloatware. I wish on a marshmallow update but sadly I m sure it will not happen. So it would be great to run remix os on those tablets
Is it a purely Android tablet? It may not have a traditional bootlader/EFI to be able to boot RemixOS.
Besides, i doubt that you will gain much more in terms of speed as Remix OS is also based on Android 5.1 Lollipop.
Asus K013 is commercially sold as MeMO Pad 7 (ME176C). Specification-wise, it's pretty similar to the Asus Fonepad 7 (ME372CG) that I own. I gotta admit it's somewhat surprising to see that a device with a better SoC running Lollipop poorly...guess I made the right choice by not upgrading from KitKat!
That being said, while I haven't found my KitKat tablet to be slow, it would still be nice to have features like proper multi-window support and such, which are coming to upstream Android in Android N or later, which likely won't me available for my device anymore. Hence why it'd be interesting to try out Remix OS.
On a related note, unlike the OP's MeMO Pad 7, the Fonepad series supports telephony (hence the name Fonepad); does Remix OS support any kind of telephony features at all or is it purely a PC(/tablet)-only OS?
I already tried to install RemixOS on my Dell Venue 8 Pro, but it fails to boot, because it has an 32-bit UEFI.
The 64-bit processor would work like a charme, but the the 32-bit UEFI is blocking to install 64-bit operating systems.
Very sad story...
Kit kat was faster on k016 too but I upgraded to lollipop and removed all the bloatwares from Asus. Now android is almost stock but sometimes is sloowww, almost like a nexus 7 2012 with lollipop. After the upgrade to marshmallow and with greenify ,nexus 7 is great, but sadly I think k016 will never get it.
I would like to try remix OS on this tablet because it could be a little better maybe, and multitasking on a 8" screen would be great
I want to ask that why the remix os doesnt support the tablet or smartphone because i think it can bring the android to the pc and ultratablet so why cant it bring itself to the android smartphone or tablet?
If you mean "why can't remix be made fpr arm devices?"
Then it has as RemixOS started as a arm ROM, and there are version for there own hardware (although some are stuck on 1.0); their partners and some nexus devices.
As arm is different to x86 chips remix would need to be built specifically for each arm device; whereas 1 ROM (kernel&modules) can work on many x86 chips/devices.
Hi,
Is it possible to install or boot Remix OS on an "Android TV Box" like this one? (here is the link: amazon.de/dp/B01BTJ7EZY/ - looks like new users can't post links, sorry)
Specs - Android TV Box:
OS: Android 5,1
Rockchip 3368 Octa-Core 64bit ARM Coretex A53 CPU
2G RAM + 16G eMMC Flash
Support for Gigabit Network & OTA
UHD 2K x 4K support
Bluetooth 4,0, H.265, HDMI 2,0

I'm interested in doing this too

Not yet. Because to do that a custom rom would be required for that exact device. Same way that a Huawei P8 ROM won't work on a Samsung Galaxy S7.

Another reason why not yet.
The RemixOS installer is not for arm devices.
You'd have to port RemixOS to your device (at least there is RemixOS for arm, and yes, I am aware that the arm version preceded the PC (x86, x86-x64) version).
By the way, you had posted this in the RemixOS for PC subforum, so it's the wrong place, try one of the other RemixOS subforums, although you'd need kernel sources, a device tree, and a custom recovery for your device before you can even think about porting RemixOS.
I hope I didn't hurt anyone's feelings, I was just being blunt.
