Hi all,
Time ago I used Windows and Linux to make ROM, but now I switched to OS X and I don't know what programs I need to for example decompress and recompress a kernel (I've troubles with Android Kitchen).
I need also an help for exploring backups: if I mount an image before adapted with imgtool with OS X Fuse, some parts of the ROM are read-only: I've tried to make chmod for all files but it needs su, so I launch it with sudo, but it doesn't recognize the virtual drive.
I'm definitely not an expert in this aspect but I suspect it'd be easier to set up dual boot to accomplish this vs trying to make it work right with OS X.

I'm trying to get adb to detect my Electrify on Windows 8, it would seem rooting and/or installing ROMs is impossible without adb, I have my phone plugged in and all the drivers installed except one "Motorola ADB Interface" of course. The manual driver installer errors out on "Cannot detect Operating System" is there anyway around this, either forcing the driver in, or not using ADB to root?
Use a linux live cd and install the android sdk, or use something like vmware, or try to extract the driver and force it to install in device manager, or dual boot an os that isnt in beta...

The linux live cd should actually work I didnt think about that
I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741824
It says its for use with HTC phones but could it possibly work with mine?
Its a year and a half old
Will the driver for my phone be installed/available?
I would post this there but its kind of a dead thread
If you have a spare thumb drive of 4gb or larger laying around you can do a persistent install of ubuntu (or just about any other distro) using LinuxLive USB Creator, which can be found here: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/
If you're not very familiar with linux, persistence is like having your linux operating system on a thumb drive with the advantage over a live cd being that any changes you make (such as installations or saved files) are not lost upon shutdown. So you could install the android sdk (which is all you should need) and then whenever you needed it you could just boot from your thumb drive. If you need help setting up (such as installing the sdk and setting the path and what not) let me know.

After quite a bit of work, I was able to get Remix OS installed and running on the new Pine A64 board. I made a quick video, wasn't sure who else would appreciate it other than you guys.

Still trying to get wifi working, but otherwise it's running well!
Root access?
I just got my Pine64 and I like the Remix OS on it but I feel so bound with out root access. Is it possible to gain root access on the Pine64?
I mounted the SD card on a Ubuntu box and found that if I use root on Ubuntu that I can read AND write files and folders in all the system folders. All the rooting methods I have found assume that you are running 32 bit and that the system files are inside a squashfs file. Any idea?
So i really am looking for a way to get linux possibly debian or ubuntu to get working on my android. tried linux deploy , complete linux installer, gnuroot...no luck. Please helo if you can
Device: xaomi mi4, android 6.0.1 cyanogenmod
Sorry for the necro, but gnuroot debian on the playstore should work! Remember it only installs the backbone of linux via a P-root (like chroot). You would need to install and set-up all dependencies you need to run applications by yourself though! I had no issues running octave (even in gui) and blender. I still have more to learn about bash. Anything that can run on arm64 (if your soc has an instruction set of armv7+). Also since you are rooted, you should be able to get even kernal installed easily, but it will take some time, patience and work!!
I have tried many times with various versions of Remix OS, but I am still not able to get it to install properly on my Windows 10 Intel (Cherry Trail z8700) tablet.
The install process (to the C:} hard drive seems to fun fine (no noticeable problems/errors) during the install process. It also LOOKS like all of the proper files were installed to the hard drive. The problem is that the install process doesn't create a boot entry for RemisOS (in the Windows BCD).
I do have EasyBCD and a couple of other BCD editors. Does anyone know what the BCD entry SHOULD look like for Remix OS? Perhaps I could manually create it?
@mediawiz always add your tablet model please.
Your device has most likely UEFI booting, so using EasyBCD is not going to work for you.
You need EasyUEFI. Install it and show me what boot entries it outputs.
You can also PM me and we can set up Teamviewer to solve this quick

Hi,
I have successfully installed REmixOS on one of my PC's but I would like to do the same to a second PC and copy all my existing RemisOS configuration, apps and files from my working dual boot system. Is there a way to do this, I know it was possible if you were using remix player, you simply looked for data.img and backed this up but I decided to go down the install Remix for PC route as it runs better on my little HP X2 laptop/tablet but I cannot for the life of me find a data.img file when remix is actually installed to the pc in a dual boot way.
I think there was info on the jide website but the support pages seem to be down now
thanks for any help you can offer
I would backup the whole partition as an image and restore it to the other PC. If your Remix is on an ext3 partition I would use partimage and if using ext4 I would use partclone, blog: https://goo.gl/xCCwwN and vlog: https://youtu.be//6aJ5EiKjRQg This is if your other partition is a Linux distro. If you are on Windows, you will have to search for another software capable of creating partitions images.
