There're few bugs that stop Android-x86 6.0 from daily use. For example,Google play services always crash on Intel Gen8+ GPUs,which is not fixed yet.
But the devs at Jide are actively contributing to Android-x86 6.0 and you'll be able to see the results in near future. For instance,the issue of Time being reset in Windows is fixed
in the latest commit, Check the marshmallow-x86 branch at https://github.com/android-x86-mirror

Hmm...seems like a solid release. I will wait for the official announcement and update though. If it fixes my nvidia/wifi/sound issues I might actually start using this

I think there is no remix os 3.0 for PC(x86) :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

I downloaded and installed it. My impression :
1 Locked DOWN, no more root command line
2 No Play Store option
3 Does include keymapping
4 Stock file manager can no longer read the partition on which Remix OS is installed
5 Maybe a little more quick because of changes to disk partition access
This may be because it is currently for Chinese users, hopefully there will be more flexibility with the release
EDIT 2016/07/01: After solving problems of getting into root command line, was able to deactivate jide app policy and then went on to install nova launcher, etc. Then using help from @HypoTurtle I was able to do systemless root. Everything now operating well. I will continue testing this 2.0.401 over the next few days for stability.
Summary:
1 No longer locked down
2 Play Store is activated
3 keymapping confirmed
4 Solid Explorer can read all disk partitions by using Stickmount
5 So far seems quicker than 2.0.205

Thanks. I installed Remix on a Windows computer so I cannot use Ubuntu method. Also I used the Remix installation tool so everything is stock install. Guess I will have to wait for a systemless root. @HypoTurtle are you onto this yet? (lol)

If someone can post the ramdisk I'll compare to the previous version but regardless the current systemless root su/ramdisk.img should work fine; unless it's drastically different.

Remix 2.0.202 version out?

Hi, is the remix os for pc 2.0.202 release out? there's a release note on http://support.jide.com/hc/en-us website. but OTA update doesn't say so and download page isn't updated either.
Enable test builds in settings.
Its not out yet, probably getting it ready for release soon i hope, and hopefully we have audio this time around!
enable latest update in setting/about page and tap 5 time "Remix OS version" to show aditional update call "unstable update"(well its stable enough for me"
and the new update has new feauture, it has pre-rooted native apps in it ( no need to install superuser or any other root apps anymore)
just do install remix os beta update to latest 2.0.202 and replace init.img file with one that have R/W in system, cause original init.img file still only has R/O system
note : backup ur original init file for next update, cause OTA update without original init file will fail..
Ok, I was able to download the update this morning! Not sure what was added or fixed but i was sad to see audio is still not working
this remix os never worked on my computer, the installation never finish successfully . I wonder if it's a matter of driver, like my asus essence stx sound card.
Go to Setting then "About" and tap "Remix OS version" 5 times to show (unstable update). Then go back to Settings click on "Update", click on the 3 little dots (options), click "System update version options", then select "Unstable version", and go back to "Update" and it will be there.
I downloaded and placed the initrd.img into the Remix OS folder, but when any app asks for root it fails with message "libc.so is 32 bit"
Anyone know what's going on? I installed 64 bit version.

The 202 update shows in the update box as being downloaded. I am then given the option to reboot and install, but when I do, nothing changes. Does my installation have to be rooted first? I have Remix installed on the hard drive (SSD) of my Acer Timeline 1810TZ.

I have a similar problem. I'm running 2.0.102 as the only OS on an Acer touch-screen laptop that is booting from a 64GB SSD. Everything is working fine.
However, the Update window shows that Remix OS 2.0.202 B2016040501 has been downloaded.
When I click the "Reboot and Install button", the machine verifies the OTA package and reboots.
Problem is: the OS hasn't been updated at all and I'm still in 2.0.102, even though "Options / Automatically install updates" is turned on.
A step-by-step guide on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi I am unable to get game apps to work, they download and I can install them fine but when I open a game app it freezes the whole system and I have to hold the power button in and restart my PC as there's no alt+ctrl+del in Android remix 2.0 OS. I run remix OS 2.0 on a HP Compaq 6000 Pro Small Form Factor PC with 2gig RAM running the 32 bit version with a 64bit based processor. 250gig HDD
Please help what am I doing run and why can't games work on remix OS 2.0

If your on the latest version ( 2.0205 ) , it is because of these :" com.android.providers.media " & " com.jide.filemanager " ( optional )
disable them using root. i.e open terminal type su and hit enter
and then type " pm disable com.android.providers.media " and hit enter
not type " pm disable com.jide.filemanager " ( this is optional ) :good:
IF YOUR NOT ROOTED TYPE ( alr + f1 ) and do the same thing except typing su
BTW most popular games work fine a part from crashes and OFC no keymapper ( atlest for me tincore keymapper is not working ) if any app/game is crashing open it in full screen mode .
No game works at all
Why would disable those inbuilt settings and there is no terminal that I can locate and not a single game works none of them.
Why would I disable there file manager one of the most important features and one of the only reasons I downloaded remix so

Why would u disable those settings, no terminal appears with your controls, no games at all run on remix NONE. Why would I disable the most important feature file manager. No idea on root there was no option for it in installation which was a 1 click system.

that's why i said it is optional = do it or not it's your wish
BTW you dont need to be rooted to do this as i said above
hold alt+f1 and root terminal pops up then type the above said command NOTE : lag and stutter is only because of the latest update so if your not on the version 205 then this is not for you maybe you need to contact jide for the support

Yes I'm the latest update, what will the removal of the media line do? Still can't get term to show with alt+f1 is there an app that gives terminal access. Games won't run in full screen mode at all just a black screen then crash, in windowed mode it starts to load games then crashes. Hide doesn't offer much support I've tried for ages on there own website and no reply I've tried Facebook and no reply they don't have a listed phone number and no real customer support department it just lists XDA and Google + for support options on there website.

as you said above( 1st post ) you are using 32bit version on a 64bit processor ? why don't you once try using 64bit version on your 64bit processor and see if it works lag/crash free. BTW I don't understand why the heck your not getting the terminal ( first hold alt and keep holding the alt and press f1 ) anyways once remove everything ( fresh install remix os ) BTW are dual booting or just installing only remix os on your hdd ?

1. No point in doing the whole terminal thing, it's one way to reduce CPU load if this is a problem, but it isn't for everyone and it doesn't sound like that's the cause of the issues here.
2. Remix OS is still in beta right now. There are many bugs, features that are missing or only partly implemented, and hardware that doesn't have the correct drivers yet. Jide are working hard to fix everything up, but really the fact that things are working as well as they are for so many people on such a wide range of hardware is actually pretty remarkable. They haven't made a final release yet, so they are under no obligation to fix your particular issues or even respond to you in any kind of timeframe, in fact I think I saw somewhere that they're reading everything but they won't be responding to most people at all because they can't afford the time if they're actually going to fix things. Bottom line: right now use at your own risk.
3. I still don't see the most important question being asked or answered here. Which graphics card do you have? There are currently known issues with many graphics cards, and some ways of working around them are floating around here. Maybe try the following: In Windows, open the RemixOS folder. Now open the menu.lst file in Wordpad. One of the lines should end in CREATE_DATA_IMG=1. Put a space after this and add 'nomodeset' (minus quotes), then save and close. Next time you boot, the CPU will be doing just about all the graphical work, so the missing drivers for your graphics card won't matter. Note that this will make your CPU do a lot more work, and don't expect great performance on 3D games, but everything should run at least.

I tried the 64bit first but it wouldn't boot up.windows is the same. Could only get it to boot with the 32bit version. Yes dual booting windows 10 home and remix OS 2.0 latest update.
It is clearly a GPU driver failure...the same when force using Nvidia GPU..
who else using Intel Q43 Express chipset base motherboard ? If they have the same problem then its unfortunate...
BTW what CPU model & GPU model installed on your HP Compaq 6000 Pro Small Form Factor PC ?...

OTA update didn't work, I didn't wait and installed it once again on my Lenovo miix 700, but a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT:
1) audio still not working (Realtek high definition audio),
2) no USB mount, it gives an error about a corrupted usb card.
3) YouTube doesn't work
4) kernel is not updated to 4.4.1.7
audio worked on Android x86 RC2
Any idea @RemixOS_Jason ?

I thought your audio would be working with remix os since it's working on latest Android x86; that's very strange

unfortunately not... maybe because kernel isn't updated to the new version mentioned in the changelog
A clean install using Titanium Backup to restore apps. Very fast, smooth.
A few glitches:
1 phantom usb drive
2 no way to change the notifications
3 bluetooth doesn't work
still have the "sleep mode wake up hang" bug

1) audio still not working (Realtek high definition audio) - We are still working on more support for audio cards. Please be patient as this is still a continual work in progress.
2) no USB mount, it gives an error about a corrupted usb card - Our testers have shown that most external USB drives are supported. Can you send us your info through our user feedback form so we're aware of your specific device's issues? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1cZNesOmnmO2esilFpvMzFZ874rvwsiKgWIX2fo9QsDk/viewform
3) YouTube doesn't work - I've been testing YouTube all day on my Remix OS for PC device. The app works fine. Watching on YouTube through Chrome has some issues, but on the whole, still works. Just not as well as the app. So, are you referring to the app or in browser experience?
4) kernel is not updated to 4.4.1.7 - I just checked with our PM and he stated that they're still testing this. Though we integrated rc2, this is one thing that was held back for testing to make sure it didn't affect overall system stability. However, stating it on the release notes was a mistake made on my part. There was miscommunication between myself and the PM and I listed this when it was still in our internal testing phase. I do apologize for this mistake and the confusion it may have caused!

@HypoTurtle It may be due to the servers in your location. Where are you writing to us from?

Thank you for the detailed reply:
1) no audio - This is a popular sound card, and there are other threads on XDA and Google groups talking about this, so I hope it's high in your priority list. If you need me for any beta testing for this audio card, I'm in!
The fact that Android x86 RC2 has audio working gives hope it's not that difficult to implement it, right?
2) I was actually talking about a microSDXC card with exFAT format, a Kensington 64GB card, which doesn't mount. Is it a known bug?
3) Youtube doesn't work both using the standalone app and through browser. I don't know why.
4) This explains why it still shows the older kernel. Maybe this is the reason for missing audio???
Keep up the good work!!

Netflix Download not working

Hi,
I recently installed Remix OS on an Acer Switch Alpha 12, which runs perfectly including gapps. Netflix is also running fine, but without the possibility to download videos for offline usage (for example while on the go). It's there a way to modify the build.prop that Netflix download will work? I know how to modify build.prop, I just need working settings. Thanks in advance!

It's probably not working because the build.prop specifies a device that isn't well supported or even supported at all. But, I'm pretty sure Remix OS is based of the Nexus 7 (2013) firmwares... I will need to confim that with Google's firmware listing
.
EDIT: I have confirmed that Remix OS 3.0.207 is either based on the Nexus 6/ 9 LTE/ or 5 GSM/LTE MOB31E Firmware.
These devices should be supported by the Netflix App...
Even this listing by Netflix shows that the Nexus 6 / 7 (2013) and 9 should work with the new download feature: https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23939#netflix-in-hd3
EDIT 2: Try changing the following lines:
ro.product.model=Remix OS For PC
ro.product.brand=Jide
ro.product.name=remix_x86
ro.product.device=remix_x86
ro.product.board=
(lower down) ro.product.manufacturer=unknown
to
ro.product.model=Nexus 6

Just tried exactly that. Doesn't work, settings still show the device it really is.
I changed build.prop by unpacking system.sfs, mounting system.img, editing build.prop, umounting system.img and repacking it with mksquashfs. After that I replaced system.sfs in the RemixOS folder on the Remix OS partition. Did I miss something?

No you didn't miss anything :good:
I would also recommend that you add the "REMOUNT_RW=1" parameter to your menu.lst/grub configuration file. This will allow Remix OS to boot in R/W mode by converting the sfs into img at boot time (this will only happen once, unless you delete the img file).
It is strange that it didn't work. I suggest that you try editing the prop after adding the REMOUNT_RW=1" parameter. If it doesn't stick then it is being replaced at boot time with the original file from either the ramdisk or initrd, not sure...
Do you found a soloution for the problem?
I did the same, unpacking the sfs, editing the build.pro, then packing the sfs.
But no way, it dont work. I also added RW at the boot sequence.
Any idea?

This wasn't about installing Netflix itself, but to use the Netflix Download function in Remix OS (for downloading episodes for offline watching, like possible on smartphones, tablets and in Windows).

Question PSA: Drivedroid works with Zenfone 9 :)

To my surprise, this wonderful utility that lets you carry bootable ISO files with you actually works with the ZF9. I had almost given up on it, since the phones I owned from Samsung, Xiaomi and sony the past 2-3 years, wouldn't work with it.
I can't seem to make it to work. Whatever mode I tried it only shows the original USB mode (it shows internal storage instead of the ISO). Can you share your working environment?
Mine:
Magisk Delta 25.2 (MagiskHide mode)
WW 2050 ROM
8G+256G model

Exactly the same. Which version of drive droid are you using? Mine is 0.10.50 which is a beta. If you can't enroll for the beta on the play store anymore (I think development is abandoned, there hasn't been an update for years) I can upload the apk here

I enrolled in the beta program and it didn't update. In-app version says 0.10.50-105000-609169. Can you share the APK so I can get it to test?
BTW, the USB system is set to the only one available called Standard Android. I am on the vanilla kernel because I heard that TWRP didn't go well with custom kernel. Wondering if these matter.

I have the exact same version inside the app. There is only one USB system here also and I also use the vanilla kernel with magisk because TWRP is more important for me. If you create a new img inside drive droid and choose format with fat, you don't see it in windows when u mount it?
Here is some video proof:
and I attached the apk from titanium backup. We can't have different version of the app, I also installed it from the store.
