I'm curious if the Remix O.S. can be used with a Raspberry Pi 3 which came out recently
( https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-3-on-sale/ )
I understand that the Remix Os is compatible with x86 chipsets (i.e. 32-bit chipsets)
And the Raspberry Pi 3 uses a 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU
however, even though the Pi 3 is 64-bit and the Remix Os is 32-bit, that doesn't mean it can't be installed, does it?
the website I mentioned above has a section that says "At launch, we are using the same 32-bit Raspbian userland that we use on other Raspberry Pi devices; over the next few months we will investigate whether there is value in moving to 64-bit mode."
so apparently a 32bit O.S. can be installed, even though the Raspberry Pi is a 64-bit chipset.
So i suppose my question is, has anybody come up with a way to see if this is possible or has anyone done it yet?
Any 64 bit processor is going to be able to run a 32 bit operating system. The only thing about that is that the OS may not take full advantage of what the processor is capable of. Check the RemixOS website for information regarding 64 bit support.

It appears that RemixOS offers a 64 operating system. Getting it on the Rasberry Pi should be as easy as pie.

No, at least not the RemixOS for PC(x86).
x86 doesn't mean == 32bit; x86 is the chip architecture; developed by intel and is used by intel/amd chips. It contains different standards with x86 being used in a different context to identify the 32bit variant and x86_64 (or more accurately AMD64 as the 64bit standard was created by AMD) for 64bit.
ARM is a completely different architecture, and has it's own variants; arm (or arm-v7 - and below) for 32bit and arm64 (arm-v8) for 64bit.
Just to clear up some of the other inaccuracies RemixOS for PC has both x86 and x86_64 versions; PhoenixOS just for completeness - last I checked was using a 64bit kernel with a 32bit(x86) system.
Not sure if/when RemixOS would be available for the Rpi3 but it would need to be treated like any other arm based system (android phone/tablet) and get a device specific custom build (not sure if the arm-based sources are available...)

so you say it'll be "Easy as Pie"...... lets hope that's true..... I'd love to see somebody do it. However i think HypoTurtle has confirmed that it's impossible

Impossible is a word that should never be uttered here on XDA Developers. With enough support from the community anything is possible in the realms of running a custom OS, especially any Linux based OS such as Android on a device that supports Linux OOTB.
Another option may be to go with the Pine 64 which supports RemixOS natively if you don't want to wait. I suggest the 2GB 16GB version as it will support the camera peripheral if you so chose to add that on at a later time.
Their own product the Remix Mini runs Remix OS on a 1,2 GhHz quad-core cortex A53 (64-bit) Allwinner SOC, wich should be simular to the SOC of the Raspberry Pi 3

I buy it.
The performance is pretty fast, but can be faster.
The Cortex-A53 supports the full ARMv8-A architecture.

so does that mean that the Remix Mini and the Raspberry Pi 3 are the same processor and that remix os should work on RP3

I'm going to download now and see if it is possible.

They are not really the same processor, it's just the same architecture.

Unfortunately, ARM is not universal like x86, so you are not going to get very good results, if any.
It's like trying to boot a rom for the OnePlus One on a LG G3, just because they run on the same chipset.
You could try porting it if you know how to, though, if the Remix mini and the RP3 actually run on the same chipset.
I think Raspbian OS is Best OS for Raspberry Pi 3. This operating system is specially designed for raspberry pi devices. I am using raspbian for my project based on raspberry pi starter kits.
It may be possible
For this to happen, the rpi should running android stable enough.
For now the most stable android project for rpi is been developed in this group:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/android-rpi
but even this isn't stable enough, it should be soon
here are the roms for arm someone with porting knowledge could probably use them http://www.jide.com/remixos/devices/nanopi2 http://www.jide.com/remixos/devices/pinea64 http://www.jide.com/remixos/devices/mini the kernel source is available for the remix mini but i would like to keep this thread going for the devs because remix os on the raspberry pi 3 model b should be interesting as an alternative to lineage which sucks on the pi not saying it don't run im saying it sucks because of the dumb privacy guard i like my android devices to have full root and not have dev options disappear like the trash on tuesday
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?
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
I have a lenovo Z575 which has an AMD APU with dual graphics. I installed remix os and got the error, which I later fixed following a guide on here from SEPTEMBER 2016...
The fix basically disables the GPU and enforces software graphics.... This makes the system almost unusable and ugly...
I'm wondering why is there still no fix for this? Ubuntu supports dual gpus, and someone who knows what theyre doing posted on google support forums that he merged some files and he got remix os running with dual gpu's, I'm really confused why no one has fixed this...
I'm hoping someone can help me get this running on my PC, if not possible please recommend me some other lightweight operating systems that run fairly well on old hardware...
Would it be better for me to run the lollipop ver. of Remix OS? That seemed to have the dual gpu compatibility...
Can i run games on this OS like .exe files
No. Android Apps only.

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.
