Dear Devs, I was wondering if it is possible to remotely run Remix OS via your Android Phone (Most likely rooted) using a Micro USB Stick.
I own one that contains one end for regular USB 2.0, and the other end is a Micro USB that can plug into Androids.
I just want to know if it is possible from an engineering standpoint, and if so, are there any projects or people that have been able to do so?
Plus not only Remix OS, but maybe other custom operating systems could do this.
Thoughts?

I have a Toshiba Satellite L505, running Windows 7 Home Premium (dual core 1st gen i3).
Recent events have made me need to run android-only programs on a semi-daily basis. Combined with the cool factor, I am seriously considering buying a Honeycomb tablet. However, money is limited and I can't really afford it, so I would most likely wind up with a rooted nook color, or just upgrading my phone (LG Vortex). Not terrible options, but my sister has suggested something that would work just as well, if not better, for free.
I know there's at least some version of android that is compatible with x86 processors, and i could get my laptop to dual-boot W7HP and Android, that would be wonderful. Obviously I would want 3.0 Honeycomb, but I would be willing to install 2.4, 2.3, or 2.2. if something newer is not available.
The problem is, I have scoured google and found nothing about this, at all. I have heard of people installing android on their laptops, and some netbooks/laptops are even sold dual-booting, so I know its possible. Now, how on earth would I go about installing android as a secondary OS on my computer? So far I have only been able to find instructions to create an Android Live CD/SD/flash drive, but i need something permanently on my computer, where i can actually save my work and apps to the hard drive. WiFi, keyboard, trackpad, and USB drivers are required, CD and SD would be greatly appreciated as well.
How would i accomplish this? Any and all help would be massively appreciated.
um, hello? anyone?
Yeah thats because only google has a bootable version of their os on a pc. They implement their virtual tool with sdk tool so thats how they want you do it its crazy..There is probably a way though you just have to modify the boot.ini file on your hard drive thus pointing it to the android os. First youll probably need a new hard drive if it can be done on a usb it can be done on a hard drive plain and simple. Dual booting is done through the bios. The bios is what loads the HD which loads the boot.ini file telling it what to boot. Not sure if that would work but its a start there might even be a windows app that will help you do this. Like I said if people are making bootable usb drives its the same process on a hard drive the bios is whats booting that usb so if you direct the bios to an extended hard drive thus booting the android os. Its the same process as it would be on a usb that would make it permanent and there is a program called EasyBCD which easily allows you to change the boot.ini which will basically allow you to have the selection of both operating systems on boot you can choose between the two once you get it working!
Actually it is so much easier. The Android x86 project uses grub. You can boot it and run from livecd, usb or install android to your home pc. I started doin this today to see what the performance benefits would be from a developer point of view.
Installation is pretty straight forward, with loads of tutorials on the website. Have a look at it here http://www.android-x86.org/
I have installed Prime OS classic 0.4.5 works fine on my L505-LS5014
I had Android 6 (Marshmallow) pre installed. With this version I was able to use external USB sticks and other devices (like a US Mause or a USB Keyboard). But after I flashed Eragon ROM the USB-C port no longer poweres external USB devices. Is there a hidden configuration I didndt notice? Or is this just my fault cause the cause is obvisios? Also Eragon Rom v3 is based on Android 6 so I through it would be passible.
Seems nobody knows why... Can somebody ask Skeleton1911 (I have ot enough posts to do so). Also What about additional driver installing for other USb devices (WLAN stick, Headset, )
Hey, I got a 2nd hand IBM T30 from a friend, I've never used any OS apart from Windows. ( )
I'd like to install Remix OS on this computer, But have no Idea how to do it, I never used Bios and I'm not familiar with those things.
I was hoping someone could guide me through the process via either chat or videochat.
I already have the Remix OS's .zip on both my USB and the T30.
many thanks.

I don't think it will run.. if i remember correctly
The pentium's with M in them...dont have SSE3 support
*something Android x86 needs
** the is a custom made Android KitKat without the need for sse3 (Google it)
I also doubt.. that you laptop supports, booting from usb stick
*You could use.. plop bootmanager.. to boot the usb stick (but its probably usb v1 slow)
**if you wish to try it... use the 32bit version
Anyway...just try it... and tell us the result
Hey guys,
I installed the latest Remix onto a separate partition so I can dual-boot on my Windows 7 machine.
It seems to work fine, I guess. Detects my cheap little USB wifi adapter, at least. But it will not detect my Android phone when connected to PC via USB. Now I'm sure this is due to lack of Android-to-Android wired interface, and someone will probably recommend an OTG cable, but honestly, is there any way of forcing Remix OS to detect USB connection from an Android phone?
Well friends the problem is this
My android version is 6.0 and the system version is 24.81.3_titan and I'm trying to do a bootloader to get root access on the device.
> I can't connect it by the USB cable on my windows 7 to transfer files using mtp, I already tried on the linux system deepin and also it is not possible.
>I tested on all computer ports, three different types of usb cable and on two different computers and they didn't recognize the cell phone. it only charges the battery.
>I tested another cell phone, moto max, with the same usb cables and it worked correctly.
I think it may be the version of the system or android that are causing these problems, but I can't do a downgrade because I can't connect it to a computer.
