WARNING: This script can be dangerous if you do not know what you're doing!!! I am not responsible for any of your files or hard drives that are deleted if the script is used the wrong way.
The following Bash script (built for Ubuntu) is a simple script that I wrote that does the following:
1. Lets you chose any non-SD ROM.
2. Lets you chose the drive to partition. (WARNING: This ONLY ignores /dev/sda as it assumes that it's your main hard drive. If you have more than one hard drive, do NOT use this unless you know what you're doing!!!)
3. Automatically partitions a Boot partition, a system partition (large enough to hold some BIG ROMs...), a data partition and the rest of your SD card (whatever size it may be) is partitioned as a standard FAT32 space.
4. It modifies both the ramdisk and the vold to boot from the SD and to see that 4th partition as the SD card.
5. If the ROM doesn't have gapps built in and uses the install script to copy them from your last ROM (like CM and MIUI do), it will download and install the gapps.
6. It creates all the required symlinks.
I've only tested it with my 8GB microSD and with MIUI. The permissions are not set up correctly for now due to a bug of sorts... but the ROM that I tested boots and works fine. (Set it all to 777 for now.)
This is only the first version. I just wrote it today. If you find bugs or have a better idea on how to do certain things (like ONLY display USB drives and SD cards) PLEASE let me know here.
If nothing in this thread makes sense, it's because I'm tired...
Update: Adding a bit more info.
Its a really good idea, but not many people can try it unless it's ported to Windows or Mac.

I know most people use Windows but Windows isn't very well equipped to do the stuff that this script does. I could always try to make an actual program (make it in c or something) but that would require a complete rewrite. I mostly wrote this for myself (to make my life easier while I'm porting a ROM to the Nook) but figured someone else might be able to use it. (Mostly the people who make the SD img's for everyone else, not the general public.)

Well yeah, it is pretty hard. Anyways, your script works for me. Its really nice.
You can run bash in Windows using Cygwin
What's the benefit from using this script on the pc and not using verygreens installer on the nook?

What installer? I didn't realize he had an installer that would let you install any "non-SD compatible" ROM into an SD card and make it SD-compatible. >.<
Just look at the thread directly below this one ... ;-)

Reading that it looks like the differences are:
Mine:
Can do all that in the PC without having to touch the nook.
It's all automated. (Like downloading the gapps.)
You run the script then just pop the SD card into the Nook and go.
Meant more for devs who are testing new builds left and right or who are building an image for others to use.
His:
Doesn't require Linux nor any Linux experience (to choose the correct drive from the drive list that the script gives you.)
Meant for the average usage who wants to be able to easily update their ROMs and install new kernels without "wiping" the SD card's data partition.

I am using verygreen's installer on my Nook right now, but I am going to start playing with this script
P.S. Linux rocks, everyone should have it...for those who don't want to let go of Windows, you should at least have Linux installed as a virtual machine on your box using VirtualBox.
So I was playing with this for a few moments on my Mac at work today. Am I copying the ROM archive, say MIUI_us_encore_1.8.5_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_andmer.zip or cm_encore_full-163.zip, into the same location as the Install2SD script?
Or am I to uncompress these roms into their respective folders and copy that folder into the same location as the Install2SD script?
I have yet to get another uSD to play with, so I have obviously not gotten to far with this just yet. I will be back to my Ubuntu machine after I get home from work with a new uSD to play with.

I haven't tested to see if this works on a mac. That said, just run the script and it will tell you where to put the files (in linux (in nautilus to be exact...)) If not, when you run it the first time, it will create the necessary folder and you can put the files there.
Ok guys, let's start to make this possible.
I have tried installing RemixOS on VirtualBox.
When i put it as Linux 2.6 64bits it kind of boots and gets stuck on boot Animation.
It is a good start.

Perhaps my post can help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/how-to-install-remix-os-virtualbox-to-t3301160 :
You need to format the empty virtual disk with an ext4 and a swap partition in advance. This can be done by installing Ubuntu and stopping the installation after the 2 partitions have been created.
The second thing you need is a modified iso file which lets you start a "real" Remix OX installation.
working. kind of
I started by taking two hard disks. both 16 gb. THen, a fresh windows 10 home single language install from the microsoft website went on the first. they have an easy media creator.. and no, you won't need a key. (you only need windows for a second.)
. I added the second drive as drive D: within windows.
then i downloaded and followed the remix os instructions and ran the installer for the hard drive d:.
it took a long time first boot. i gave it 2 cores and 2.5Gb ram. if you can afford more.. do it. it took about 1.5 hours. mostly due to remix os initializing he disk.. and even though it had 16gb of space, looks like i provisioned 6Gb... wierd. but the os is light. snappy. it has a terminal with bash...
seems pretty beta like.. don't click on widgets.. the init will reset and all of your apps will close.
i still have not gotten play services on yet. i just downloaded the latest apk from the blog on the main JIVE website under FAQ.
installed... working.. connected, semi stable and useable. now to get play services started.
Very slow here
Machine settings
imgur.com/tCn7f4R
I have installed the 32 bits version,I get it in they site, but it's slow, is like it is rendering frame per frame, I think is because GPU or something, I tried differents resolutions with vga=ask boot command, but nothing change. Otherwise I have downloaded a VDMK disk with Remix OS installed, and that running perfectly, but I can't use superuser on it.
I'm from Brazil, Sorry for any error on english
Until now I was testing Remix on a flash drive, most of the stuff is running great, so I think it's time to try it on the HD.
So here's the question, it's possible to install RemixOS on HD without create partition?
I want Remix to be installed in a regular folder in my HD, with an option to select it in the OS selector when PC starts, and I want it to use data.img instead of something else... Basically just like Phoenix OS.
Is this possible?
Thx..
Cheers...

Thanks, I already saw this...
But in this guide it's not clear what the installation tool will do, if it will create partitions, if it will format something etc... Take the USB installation as an example, I never thought it would create 3 partitions on it...
That's why I'm asking this... Besides, I saw many people unable to boot into Windows after some sort of HD installation of Remix.
Have you tried this method of installation?
If yes, how is the structure of the directory, what files are in there, is it using data.img?
Cheers...

The hard drive installation will create a folder called "RemixOS" and add a boot entry for it in the Windows boot loader. In that folder is the kernel, initrd.img, system.img, menu.lst and some other files. An 8 GB data.img will be created on first boot. Those who have problems with booting are typically using a third-party method to install it.

It appears that for the issue mentioned in the link you posted the solution is to simply disable Secure Boot. I don't have much experience with UEFI myself, but on a BIOS system the installer worked perfectly, it didn't break either Windows or Linux Mint.

Fortunately (I hope) I'm on BIOS as well, cause I heard somewhere that disabling secure boot prevents Windows to boot. I don't know if it's a Windows requirement on UEFI machines...

I expanded the data.img using this tutorial (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/android-tp2/138623-how-get-bigger-data-img.html). Don't mind the fact that it was originally made for Windows Mobile devices running Android on SD card, the concept is the same (add zeros to the end of data.img, then expand the partition table in the data.img to cover the extra space).

Where I can choose this, in the installation tool?
And does it take too long to boot? I'm asking this because I expanded the data.img of Phoenix OS, and since then it takes a lot more time to boot.

nope, as long as your data.img is much smaller than your actual harddisk, you will have no problems with speed.
yes, the instalation tool asks you what size you want to use, either 8, 16 or 32 GB can be chosen

Just as the title says, I'm curious if there exists a touch (or hardkey, i.e. volume up/down and windoes key) enabled bootloader.
Currently i have to press arrow keys and enter to select either windows or android.
Is there such a thing? It would be amazing. Id rather not have to stop at the keyboard to boot to an os from grub.
Thanks in advance!
Well .. I had suffered from this problem for longtime and finally I solved by an app called android-x86 installer it's the only way to boot from your Windows tablet without keyboard at last what I ended up with .. so yo have to download an old version I recommend the ALPHA version and install it with android-x86 installer 2.4 UEFI version after finished installing you have to download the latest version of remix OS and extract with 7zip or winrar then replace all file with the same name in folder androidOS that the direction of ALFA you already installed now You can boot with two ways either from settings/update / recovery and then press restart now at advanced startup then after reboot choose "use a device " and last thing chose android OS wait 9 seconds in grub2 an finally the remixOS will boot or by simply choose android OS from boot menu by volume Up/down
Boot solution for XPS 12 9250
Will thank you for this post when my 'Thanks!' get replenished on XDA. I'm still only using windows 10 on this tablet PC.
It is not clear to me is this is dual boot Android/Windows, my understanding is that this particular usage of the Linux grub bootloader only boots to Remix OS which is android. Grub, as you know does have dual boot capabilities, but maybe not yet on the XPS 12 9250.
Sorry, but the instructions are not step-by-step details for me, and I seem to be not smart enough to follow them. Could you point me to a 1..., 2..., 3.... please?
Please update or PM me whenever you feel you have found a better boot solution for our 9250's. I will be most grateful.

Grub can chainload the entry just fine. And when using the official tool it auto-adds an entry if it detects Windows is installed, which it will be as it's a windows tool [unless running via wine] it'll add an entry for it.
Without the tool you can do it manually. Personally I have a second easy to access efi partition that I use, if you want to do the same download a partition manager like minitool and confirm that you have 16MB of unallocated space between your efi and C: drive and I'll dig up a post/walk you through the rest tomorrow

Very excited to pursue this, but this week is filled with close family coming here to stay for our only holiday celebration. Will post back here when I get that unallocated space, after creating a backup of the current system. May use Gparted, but will check out minitool as well.
Walk through, dual boot Remix OS + Win10 on XPS 12 9250
@HypoTurtle
Waiting on a second USB-C to USB cable so I can boot a Macrium Reflect flash drive and backup a restorable PC image to an external Hard drive. After I'm sure I can restore this image I'll try to install Remix OS.
This youtube link is straightforward and simple to follow for the dual boot installation process. I've seen many reporting hardware/software issues on the many XDA forum threads branching off of "Remix OS for PC". So obviously one size does not fit all. Compiling and replacing different Linux kernels, editing grub.cfg, initrd.img, system.img, data.img.... The very worse thing on xda forums are ignorant end-user whiners like me who want instant gratification with their perfectly working phone or tablet. This vast forum has so many xda-developers, steeped in code, gaining and sharing trial and error knowledge. So many thousands of threads where xda-developers are taken for granted to lay solutions into end-user's laps. So many of us end-users are oblivious to this baby sitting. I will try the time consuming and painstaking learning curve. The least knowledgeable member on xda-forums should try to learn and not be spoon fed. It is essential, whatever our capacity, to all become developers interested in expanding the usefulness of our devices over and above the limited and constrained manufacturer's parameters.
Hi XDA community, since I don't have enough power to land this on other forums I choose here.
First, this is my disclaimer:
Please try this at home at your own risk, the steps performed on this guide worked for me and may work for you.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But come on, this is XDA, you will figure it out without problems.:fingers-crossed:
Second, the good thing about this is you only need 3 ingredients:
Old tablet, The HP Stream 7 tablet SPECS
Precious Disk Space :victory:
Sweet Internet
W00t? no USB or Keyboard required? Yes, that's why it took me a while to glue the pieces together. Now, here we go:
I suggest to download PhoenixOS (November Release v1.1.2-226), because it worked for me immediately, I have an issue with RemixOS that I didn't try to fix it yet, I got stuck on the "Select Language" screen, but the steps may work for you.
Now, free disk space on your tablet, I did the upgrade to Windows 10 a while back and I had almost 1GB left on C, that's ridiculous because the drive has 20GB-ish, so, I google (yes, you need to do your homework too because I did the steps on the fly) how to recover space from the greedy Windows 10 OS, I removed a lot of useless info/cache/downloads/apps/etc and even compressed the Windows binaries (yes, you can do that). Concerned about Windows performance? be not, it works faster than ever. After the next steps this may seem useless but free space is free space, you'll need it later on life.
After all that dark magic, I was able to reclaim 10GB-ish, yeah!, but then realized I had 8GB more on the tablet "lost", this is the recovery partition for Windows 10, now, this is something that you may think of because you can get rid of all that info and reclaim what is yours, that partition is for you, but maybe you wont so this is one of these life choices. I did, I don't care about recovery stuff, most of my gadgets have custom ROMs or OSes. Used Minitool Partition Wizard Free and managed to reclaim the precious Disk Space.
Important thing here, some users Shrink the drive C to create a new partition, I didn't, used the 8GB partition instead.
We have Disk Space available, now, we prepare the operations table:
Disable Bitlocker on the drive you want to install the new OS.
Disable Secure Boot, power off the device and press Power+VolDown for a few seconds until you're on the BIOS.
Boot on Windows and install the Android OS flavor you want, I'll split the installation in two because for RemixOS is harder.
NOTE: Remember that grub doesn't support touch and both Android OSes grub have Windows as first OS to boot and kids, there is the key.
PhoenixOS
Download the OS
Extract it and run the installer
Select install to Hard Drive and install it on the Drive desired (I did that on E: which is the 8GB partition).
Restart and let the system do the job, you'll land on Windows again.
In Windows, as you read on the NOTE, we need to change grub.
Open Windows Powershell ISE in Admin mode (yeah yeah, yo can use whatever you want)
Then execute the command
Code:
mountvol B: /s
With this you'll be able to see the contents from the UEFI partition
Now, remember to select view all files, with WPISE open the grub.cfg file located on
Code:
B:\EFI\PhoenixOS\
Put the Windows entry below the PhoenixOS entry, change the grub timeout to 3 or whatever timeout you want, this change is for faster boot, save the file and you're ready to go.
Restart the system, press Power+VolDown -> F9, Select the PhoenixOS, let grub do the magic and you win
Notes about PhoenixOS
Phoenix OS installation, straight-forward on the 8GB partition
Needed to change Grub but friendlier than RemixOS
Keyboard behaves weird, you need to be accurate when using your fingers
When using browser and playing videos the tablet heats up hard
Rotation is wrong, I selected not to use rotation so I can use the UI without problems
Is fast, Wireless work
Something I saw one time is it got stuck when showing my user recently booted, restarted the device and then it worked again.
Video after the break.
Veredict: It works for me and can play with Android in a tablet without the need to buy another.
RemixOS
It supposed to have more support for things but looks like PhoenixOS has more . Not going to start a war here, I always try to find what suits best for me .
RemixOS is a pain on this tablet with the newest November 2016 version, I need to play more and harder.
You do almost the same as PhoenixOS, the installer is easy as well but it shows you an installation issue the first time, you need to restart the device and try the installation again. After that it was a game of try and fail but I sorted out the pieces.
Restart and you'll be on Windows again, well, let the system land on Windows and modify grub, kind of same as PhoenixOS:
Open Windows Powershell ISE in Admin mode
Then execute the command
Code:
mountvol B: /s
With this you'll be able to see the contents from the UEFI partition
Now, with WPISE open the grub.cfg file located on
Code:
B:\boot\grub\
Remember to select view all files
Put the Windows entry below the RemixOS entries, save the file, change the timeout and you're ready to go.
For RemixOS you also need to change the timeout for the theme.cfg file on
Code:
B:\EFI\RemixOS\
Restart the system, press Power+VolDown -> F9, Select the OS Bootloader, let grub do the magic (after some errors, just let it be) and you win (see, no hands mom!), well, sort of because it freezes :silly:.
I'll try to do more tests with RemixOS and see what happens.
Is this guide enough for you, not? blame the Internet or leave your comments.
Enjoy.
Thanks for the info.
I'm not getting any sound with PhoenixOS. WiFi is OK but sound & Bluetooth is not functional. Any suggestions ?
I've experimented with RemixOS as well...... sound works but it's very laggy and touch-screen / rotation is unresponsive. PhoenixOS is very stable and far far better but no sound :crying:

Could you please explain the installation instructions?
Any news? I tried newest phoenix, but it´s way too heavy for it. Runs very slow. The older lollipop works better. The touchscreen is more a problem, it´s like a tablet from hell, very bad sensitivity.
The "Trekstor Surftab Xintron i 7.0" should be the same hardware and has android, so there could be a way to install this or at least use the touchscreen drive in phoenix. But I´m afraid of bricking it.
