Hello,
I'm just wondering if there is a way to install linux drivers on Remix OS. I really doubt that *.deb or *.rpm files are installable, but is it possible to build and install the needed driver ?
In my case, I would like to have my TV PCI Card (TBS 6281 dual TNT Tuner) working on Remix OS. The drivers are available here (http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/common/tbs-linux-drivers_v160405.zip)
On Ubuntu, I'm used to build thous drivers and then install them. But is it possible on Remix OS (it needs some buidings libraries and compilers...)
Thank you for your help.
@mathojojo I'd suggest asking this question on Android-x86 group Devs look in there much more often and Remix OS bases off Android-x86 project. These guys may help you port the drivers to Android.
@Ventricle Ok, I will take a look there. Thx

Nouveau is not compatible 'enough' with most cards. It always has an issue or two with each particular card. Not to mention people with dual video cards, it is pain in the a** for them!
So here is what I want to say, what if some developers used the Nvidia proprietary driver .run file, extracted it and managed to make it work on Remix OS? Remix is based on Android which is in return based on Linux kernel and drivers that work on one of those should work on the other by some way.
In case this is impossible due to many incompatibilities like Remix OS not using Xorg and other differences between it and normal Linux, what about signing a petition and sending it to Nvidia asking them to provide a driver for Remix OS with help of Remix OS developers?
Hi,
I was looking for some Android x86 OS to install on my laptop, so I came across Remix OS. I very much like it, after going through all of features. However, I found Phoenix OS too. I am just super confused now. Which OS should I install; what makes Remix OS better than Phoenix?
Thank you!
Anyone?
u can install them both, and ur problem solved
Thanks! This initiative is not going to resolve my curiosity.
What I mean is u can try install them both and see which one is most working for ur device or PC cause they have pros and cons between one and another
Remix OS and Phoenix OS are just two Android distributions - both based on Android x86. So in terms of hardware support, they might be similar. Phoenix OS seems more refined and ready for market, Remix OS is still just beta and has a lot of bugs. On the other hand Remix OS has a much bigger community, help pages, forums and users - with Phoenix OS you are on your own.
All that said, there is a third option. You could simply plug your Android tablet to a keyboard/mouse/screen and forget about all the Android x86 fever. Your hardware will be fully supported, have access to an official Google Android build with all the support included and in the long term there will be less hassle. And now with Android N on the way which supports Remix OS like windows, you will never notice any difference. I myself am going this route. I will wait for Android N tablets, buy a sufficiently performing one and plug it to some peripherals - instant Android desktop, fully supported by Google. No tricks, no hacks, no unsupported hardware.
Lol... You're having a bad dream...
You can also install a non windowed version of android x-86, after numerous attempts and a lot of failed boots I ended up using AndEx - Exton Android - http://andex.exton.net/?p=451
Does that mean you paid for it as it isnt free?
I have rooted Remix OS 2.0.205 running on Integrated Intel Graphics card which runs very well right now....
I have a discrete NVidia graphics card 840M also on my laptop.
I have used NVidia graphics card with open-source nouveau on my ubuntu.
So, I think I can also run remix OS using same drivers but the problem is that I cannot find any forum or guide to switch GPU for remix OS.......
Anyone can help me in this regards???
I have used ubuntu for quite a long time so I am comfortable with Linux (package installation & configuration) !!
Please free to provide any suggestion !!!!
Hi, I just got everything working nicely on my Dell Inspiron 580. I am running rooted Remix OS 3.0 MM 64-bit and I am trying to use a TP-Link usb Wireless Adapter RTL8188EUS which I am assuming is a Realtek Chipset. So I am wondering, is there a kernel or patch that will get it working? How do we flash or compile kernels in Remix OS? The wireless is my only stumbling block to make this into a Media PC. Any suggestions seriously appreciated
You can look at this:

After you have a ready custom kernel file, you can just replace the old one in ISO or in already installed location.

Excellent. I appreciate the response i have helped with development in other projects i would like to help with Remix OS if possible. I will likely do what i can with my linux box this weekend. Do i need to change permissions on the new kernel? i am going to backup the kernel i have now before i start changing too much ? Thank you @Vioner ill let you know if i can get it working

Ok thanks mate?
Btw this is remix is not resurrection remix. And it hasn't been updated since months.
I am talking about Resurrection OS for PC
You're confusing two different Android OS's.
Remix OS (this forum) is a fork of the Android x86 Project designed to run on AMD and Intel x86 devices.
Resurrection Remix OS (completely different forum) is a ROM based on CyanogenMod and only runs on ARM devices.
Either way, it's still pretty much a no. Android is designed to only run .APK files. That being said, you can try using an emulator such as DOSBOX. But, there will be varying degrees of success.

No i know about both OS's , i was telling to that guy who was saying that Remix has not being updated see up
Ah. Well, he's right about one thing. Sadly, the current form of Remix OS has all but been abandoned. There hasn't been a single update since November and the devs have stated that they don't know when or even if they'll ever update this project.
