RE: Stuck at Remix OS boot screen
After much playing around and trial and error, I've managed to fix the flashing logo problem;
A lot of the scripts for the grub entry are needlessly complex, so I'll try and outline it as simply as I can. Make sure you use the grub customizer gui app (http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/04/install-grub-customizer-ubuntu-16-04-lts/) because it handles the different variations on the grub system from ubuntu-based distributions.
Since you will probably be at the stage of actually getting to the Remix OS flashing logo, I'll outline the details for the entry script in grub customizer that works and is fairly easy to follow;
The insmod entries may not all be needed, but including them all doesn't do any harm;
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
The set root command tells grub where to find your RemixOs partition or folder, you can find your partition numbers by typing sudo fdisk -l in a terminal, it will list lots of /dev/sda[x] entries. eg (/dev/sda0, /dev/sda1 and so on) /dev/sda0 is your first partition on your first hard disk, which will be hd0 for grub. If you have more than one physical hard disk you will also have /dev/sdb entries here too, those will be hd1 for grub.
If you have RemixOS installed in your first hard disk hd0, and in the 3rd partition /dev/sda3 the line in the grub entry will be;
set root=(hd0,3)
The next few lines are telling grub which files to load up for RemixOS and are fairly simple by comparison;
linux /kernel /root=/dev/ram0
You will recall that 'kernel' is one of the files you extracted from the RemixOS ISO, this command basically tells the OS to load the kernel for Remix into ram. The next line is a bit more complicated, but it's the meat of the whole RemixOS system, after this command you can tell RemixOS which options you want to enable for your system. There are too many options to list here, so we'll keep it simple.
androidboot.hardware=RemixOS_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive SRC=/system.img
This is also a fairly simple line, if you have an older x86 only machine, make sure you delete the '_64' at the end of the androidboot.hardware line. The next section androidboot.selinux=permissive is required. Lastly the SRC= line is the part I missed out when I was loading it for the first time. You have to make sure you point this SRC= to the system.img that you originally extracted from the ISO. The rest of the commands after this are the specific options you can configure, I'll leave that to your research
Finally, the last line initrd /initrd.img is required and also not terribly complicated.
The entry in grub customizer therefore should look a lot like this:
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext
set root='(hd0,3)'
linux /kernel root=/dev/ram0
androidboot.hardware=RemisOS_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive SRC=/system.img
initrd /initrd.img
Bearing in mind to adjust where necessary for your own system, hope this helps!!!!
PSon't forget to SAVE entry in grub customizer!!!

if your still having issues this worked for me www youtube com/ watch?v=3Vl25bJeGn8 just take out the spaces and insert periods
Last year I wrote a guide on how to triple boot Ubuntu Windows and Android-x86, which since then remains my daily set-up. Now that Android-x86 is partnering with Remix OS I thought I'd give it a try (even if it was closed-sourced).
There are other tutorials on installing Remix OS, but the reason I'm writing this one, is because the others are not detailed and depend on scripts. Lots of things can go wrong with scripts if they're not updated, so this is purely manual and detailed, which offers a very simple successful rooting method.
I have a 12" touch notebook Asus X200 with 4GB of RAM and 500GB of disk space.
Currently triple booting Arch Linux, Windows 10, and Remix OS 2.0.102.
Quick summary:
Create an ext3/ext4 partition for Remix OS.
Download the iso and extract its content to that partition.
Root Remix OS easily
Configure grub to detect Remix OS.
Pre-Requirements:
A Linux distribution already installed.
Grub already installed.
First of all, boot your PC into your Linux distro.
A. Creating a partition for you Android
We need to prepare a 10GB ext3/ext4 partition for Android. You can do so by resizing an existing partition, using gparted.
Now depending on which partition you want to resize (Ubuntu or Windows), you can use gparted from a Live Ubuntu CD, or directly from Ubuntu. I highly recommend resizing an NTFS partition (Windows).
Here is a tutorial on how to use it.
Install gparted (in case you don't have it)
Code:
sudo apt-get install gparted
Once installed run gparted (requires root permission).
Select the partition you want to resize
Right-click and select Resize/Move.
Shrink it so you can get a new partition of 10GB
An unallocated partition will be created.
Right-click on it and select New.
Select ext3, label it Android and press Add.
Notice that I labeled the partition "Android", for easier identification.
Make sure that you took the right steps before you apply the changes.
Here is how my Android Partition looks like (sda8)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Write down the path for your android partition, in my case /dev/sda8 (You will need it later)
To test it. Go to nautilus (file explorer), and mount the partition and see if you can access it.
B. Downloading and extracting the ISO
If you don't need full root (read/write) you can skip this section, all you need to do is to copy the 4 files extracted from the andorid-x86 iso (initrd.img ramdisk.img kernel system.sfs) to your android partition. Create an empty folder called data in your android partition too. And then jump to section C.
The difference here in this section is that we extract the contents of system.sfs and then copy them to the android partition with the other 3 files (initrd.img ramdisk.img kernel), and create an empty data folder. This way, we will have full root access.
(system.sfs is a squashfs which is a compressed read-only file system, which explains why we can't have full root)
Head down to the folks at Jide and download the latest version.
In my case it's Remix OS Beta 2.0.102 64 bit.
Hit the terminal.
You can use the following bash commands to easily extract and copy the files.
Extract the contents of the iso
Code:
7z x Remix_OS_for_PC_64_B2016030106.zip -oremix && \
cd remix
Extract the contents of the system.img
Code:
mkdir temp && \
mount -o loop system.img temp
Now let's copy initrd.img ramdisk.img kernel files to the Android partition. Create 2 folders on the Android partition called data and system, extract system.sfs (and eventually system.img) and copy its contents to the system folder we just created.
Code:
cp initrd.img ramdisk.img kernel [COLOR="Lime"]/path/to/the/android/partition[/COLOR] &&\
mkdir [COLOR="Lime"]/path/to/the/android/partition[/COLOR]/system && \
mkdir [COLOR="Lime"]/path/to/the/android/partition[/COLOR]/data && \
cp -avr temp/* [COLOR="Lime"]/path/to/the/android/partition[/COLOR]/system &&\
umount temp &&\
cd .. && \
rm -rf remix &&\
exit
You should have something like that
C. Rooting
Now it's extremely easy to root it using the latest stable SuperSU, as you only need to place the su binary in your android system.
Download the latest SuperSU
Extract it
Open a terminal and depending on your architecture (I'll assume you got the 64 bit version) copy the file su to /system/bin inside your android partition and change the file permission to 6755
Code:
sudo cp x64/su [COLOR="Lime"] /path/to/the/android/partition[/COLOR]/system/bin
sudo chmod 6755 [COLOR="Lime"] /path/to/the/android/partition[/COLOR]/system/bin/su
Copy the application Superuser.apk to your system apps under SuperSU folder, and change its permission to 644.
Code:
sudo mkdir [COLOR="Lime"]/path/to/the/android/partition[/COLOR]/system/app/SuperSU
sudo cp common/Superuser.apk [COLOR="Lime"] /path/to/the/android/partition[/COLOR]/system/SuperSu/SuperSU.apk
sudo chmod 644 [COLOR="Lime"]/path/to/the/android/partition[/COLOR]/system/SuperSU/SuperSU.apk
And that's it. You're done. You have root.
D. Configuring Grub
Now after copying all the necessary files to the Andorid partition, all we need to do is modify grub to boot from that partition.
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom
menuentry "Remix OS" {
set root='(hd0,8)'
linux /kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode SRC=/
initrd /initrd.img}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can actually experiment with the boot parameters to see what fits your machine more, all you have to do is when you restart and have the Grub boot menu select Remix OS and press 'e' so that you can modify the kernel boot parameter. Usually for debugging you can add DEBUG=1 for example.
You should change (hd0,8) entry based on your android partition location, the one that we wrote before.
(hdX,Y) for /dev/sdXY with a corresponding to 0, b to 1, c to 2 etc ..
In my case, my android partition is /dev/sda8 correspond to (hd0,8)
a -> X=0
8 -> Y=8
So '(hd0,8)'
Update Grub configuration by:
Code:
sudo update-grub
E. Finally
Reboot your laptop, and select Remix OS from Grub menu (it should be the last entry).
... And enjoy Android!
(Don't forget to update the SuperSU root binaries)
Remix os stuck at logo
I have an acer aspire laptop in which i used to dual boot ubuntu and windows 10. When I tried to triple boot it with remix os, it just didn't work. I configured the grub and all tried almost every grub entry i could find suitable for remixos.Whatever I do , It gets always stuck at the android logo ( boot animation ). But when i dual boot remix os and windows ( grub installed from remix os image (grub ver 1.1) it works flawlessly. Can you help me out with configuring grub2. ?, or can i add ubuntu to grub1.1. ???

If you still have the problem, try to post your HDD partition log, your kernel parameters and I'll take a look.
One thing also to note, if you're using the x86 version, you should specify that in your kernel parameters:
Code:
androidboot.hardware=remix_x86
hi, sorry for my question and my english, im not advanced user, i created etx3 100go primary partition named Android, but when i try to creat new folder or follow the instruction i have message say i dont have permission to do that, how i can continue the installation of remix os please?
i have SonyVaio SVS13A17GBB and Windows 10 and ubuntu 16 updated LTS installed.
Thank you a lot for this guide and i hope you can help me to install the 3rd os and able to use it.
I've followed all the instructions as described here but my Remix OS will not boot. At startup I get a message saying /dev/ram0 not found. Any ideas?

This is a 1 Year old thread.
if you are using ubuntu (16.10 works) search for linux install thread which has a deb.
I'm having an issue with this as I already installed remix using the exe tool on my main OS(windows). I used to get the windows grub which offered windows and remixOS(both on same partition somehow). Since installing Ubuntu 16.04, I now get the grub for Ubuntu which only offers Windows boot manager(straight to windows 10) or Ubuntu. How can I add remix OS to the Ubuntu grub if it is actually located on the main Windows partition in UEFI-GPT format? I'm hoping for something along the lines of "set root='(hd0,1)\C:\RemixOS\*'"

Try first seeing if grub would detect remixOS installation.
Boot into Ubuntu, install os-prober and then update grub.
Code:
sudo apt-get install os-prober
sudo update-grub
If this doesn't work, basically you screwed up the hierarchy in your /boot/efi partition. It would be complicated (but harder to fix it). Let me know first how it would go.
1. Create a second ext4 partition for Remix OS using Gparted
You should delete the linux-swap and the extended partition first. After reducing the size of your Ubuntu partition sda1 you can create your Remix OS partition sda2.
Finally you'll create a new extended partition containing the linux-swap.
http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=german
2. Install Remix OS into the new partition
Use the steps described in "Installing Remix OS to Hard Drive or Virtual Machine without additional tools", but there are a few differences:
- Skip step 3, because you have a formatted ext4 partition already (in my example: sda2)
- Step 4: Select sda2 for your installation (formatting of sda2 not needed)
- Step 5: Do not install a boot loader GRUB; do not install EFI GRUB2 (you'll customize the Ubuntu boot loader)
3. After a reboot Ubuntu will start. Please install grub-customizer
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
4. Start grub-customizer and add a new entry (Ctrl + N) named e.g. "Remix OS", Type "other"
Boot sequence:
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,2)'
linux /android-2016-07-12/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive SRC=/android-2016-07-12
initrd /android-2016-07-12/initrd.img
(hd0,2) has to be changed if you use a partition other than sda2 on hd0 for Remix OS.
Example: If you are using sdb2 on hd1 the "set root" command is
set root='(hd1,12)'.
You can obtain the Android path (e.g. /android-2016-08-11/) by mounting the Remix OS partition with the Linus file manager.
Example of boot menu entry for Remix OS
http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=german
If you are working with the Remix OX 32bit version you have to use ". . . androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 . . ." in the last line (beginning with linux).
Example: With version 3.0.103 (2016080805) 32bit the line has to be:
linux /android-2016-08-08/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive SRC=/android-2016-08-08
initrd /android-2016-08-08/initrd.img
5. Make the Remix OS entry the second boot menu entry
http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=german
6. Modify the General Settings
- Default: first entry
- Show menu
- Start default after 5 seconds
http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=german
7. Save the new grub configuration
8. Check the new swap UUID and correct it in /etc/fstab
sudo blkid | grep swap
9. Reboot and select the second entry "Remix OS"
Thanks for the guide it's really useful for me since I'm already using ubuntu and had a separate partition ready for another OS.

I have changed only "insmod part_msdos" to "insmod part_gpt" since I'm using GPT/UEFI (I'm running it on an old mac mini, only boots UEFI)
Any idea what might be wrong? I already triple-checked the grub entry and stilll can't figure out what's going on. Tried also editing hd0,# on boot to no avail either.
EDIT: Would it be easier to have it as single OS? I already backed up and cleaned the HDD.

Are you sure it's (hd0,3)?? You may have to recheck that. Enter the command mode by pressing 'c' at Grub menu and execute 'ls' command to list partitions. I guess it must be (hd0,gpt3) or something like that. You can double check which is RemixOs partition by using 'cd' into each partition executing 'ls' to list files.
Thanks Thisu, but no dice, I even tried installing RemixOS as the main OS without any luck. I have used crappy linux installers (like way back knoppix) but damn Remix takes 1st prize. Right now I'm trying to reinstall GRUB2efi from an ubuntu live USB. No matter what kind of installation I do for Remix I get the typical "blank" GRUB screen (the one that states "....minimal bash command...." and a GRUB> prompt)
I don't know what's the matter with this installer, it's never consistent. sometimes it asks for a data file creation, sometimes doesn't, sometimes just reboots after the install, sometimes prompts what to do... Resident mode tends to work but from this particular drive and computer, is barely useable due to poor speeds. And trying to repurpose an old mac with this is far worse, the PoS won't even try booting a normal MBR scheme. it HAS to be EFI

I am no GRUB specialist, and I do not use EFI. I found a working GRUB configuration for Remix OS by copying and modifying the primary GRUB configuration for Linux Mint 17.3. The tool I used is the "grub-customizer". I installed Remix OS in partition sda2, and "set root='(hd0,2)' " worked for me.
I created and formatted sda2 using GParted; so during the Remix OS installation sda2 did not have to be formatted. Because I wanted to use the Ubuntu GRUB installation, the Remix OS installer has been told not to install GRUB und EFI GRUB2.
In case if someone still looking for help, use the example below. I was successfully able to boot with configuration below.
All you have to do is to mention right gpt partition where you have installed remix os mine was gpt6.
Then by running the "blkid" command in ubuntu terminal find the UUID of the partition
Replace my UUID which is in this example with yours.
Instead of root=/dev/ram0 use root=UUID of the partition.
Hope it will help some

Installing Ubuntu first is at least easier, because Ubuntu will not detect Remix OS as "installed system" and will not offer installing Ubuntu as second system, providing dual boot.
ok, i have finally install everything,followed what have been put here.
but i get an error once i choose remix os on GRUB
error '/android-2016-07-12/kernel' not found
error 'you need to loadthe kernel first'
@remixtester
Firstly, thanks for the guide. I've got it mostly figured out but I have a couple of questions for you.
The partition I have installed Remix to is sdb12, so how would I edit the grub? Is it:
Code:
set root='(hd0,12)'
or
Code:
set root='(hd1,12)'
or something completely different?
Answer:
sdb = hd1 so the code is:
Code:
set root='(hd1,12)'
Also, the "/android-2016-07-12 has to be changed if you will use a Remix OS version other than 2.0.403 (2016-07-12)" section might need a little more clarification. I understand that I need to change this because I'm using Version 3.0.104, but there's no indication in this guide on how to find the correct information for builds that differ from the one you mention using. So how do I find out what to change that line to (as per the build I downloaded)?
Answer:
Mount the partition you installed Remix to in the Linux file manager and view the folder there.
Even though I've answered my questions I'm leaving this here for anyone else having the same questions in future. It might be a good idea to add this info to your guide.

Which version of Remix OS did you use? 32bit or 64bit?
What's the name of the partition where you installed Remix OS?
Did Remix OS start after you clicked OK here:

Which boot sequence did you enter into the boot menu entry for Remix OS (Ubuntu "Grub Customizer")?

Actually i did a mistake. Infact its a mistake in your code for boot sequence in your guide
In eg of 32 bit , you have written initrd=/andoid..... And correct is initrd /android......
Anyways hardly matters, your guide was awesome. Thank you !!!

I followed every step on the guide, but when I try to boot Remix Os, it just says "disk /dev/ram0 doesn't exist", I don't know what to do, I've tried changing /dev/ram0 for other disks and dir,, but just says the same "disk -the disk I decide to put- doesn't exist
also, sorry for my bad english, I mostly speak spanish
Ok everything went ok boots up and runs fine. my question be if you were going to root this you would want it to be after you make the bootable usb which will then change it to system.img and make the change on the grub customizer then install it to the partition with "Tab" INSTALL=1.
error when trying to start Remix OS
After the procedure, when I tried to start the operational system an error appeared "error archive '/android-2016-07-12/kernel' not found. alloc magic is broken at 0xb798ee00: b76cfc20." . How can I find the correct name of the kernel I had installed to make some changes in the grub costumization.
Thanks.
Label RemixOS partition as RemixOS using gparted and use the script in below link either through custom grub entry or grub-customizer.

For anyone having problems running RemixOS alongside GRUB
For anyone having problems running RemixOS alongside GRUB, you can try the guide updated for the latest version I just posted.
Use EasyBCD or If ur using for simple puposes install The OS on virtualbox or VmWare
An Easy way to dual boot with ubuntu
You can try this method. It doesn't require any hassle of partition or bootable usb. https://youtu.be/g3XTDpTw6A8
Basically I've tried installing every build of RemixOs 3.0.X (2.0 worked). but with 3.0 I get no errors, it also does not actually install grub, so it is unbootable.
Now I can see the values in the EFI partition and everything on disk is correct, secure boot is disabled, but I do not get the grub boot loader to execute so I have no way to access RemixOS. Now I've tried installs in without AV and FW running, and every build, but simply put I can not get it to actually install Grub is impossible. I do not see why it is not running grub, as I stated everything looks correct, but for some reason the last step of triggering it to run on boot is not being executed, and I've yet to discover any way to manually force the process (or even a log of what went wrong).
How do I force RemixOS install to not only configure grub, but install it, if I had Linux installed I'd use setup-grub, but with only windows I'm at a loss. Also any idea why 2.0 worked and installed the bootloader, but 3.0 does not as far as I can see the boot loader is the same.
Finally I've gone as far as forcing the boot order to run grub, however then I'm stuck as the grub config from remixOS does not work from GRUB, when I copy it to the custom config, so obviously something else is required to boot RemixOS using grub2win, other than the EFI partition grub.cfg configuration, as that begins loading the OS, but does not succeed.
If I remove Quite and set " logo.showlogo=0", then I've been able to get remixos to start booting, however once the remixos's load screen appears it hangs, never completes. It also warns about ntfs module already being loaded, but that is just annoying nothing else. Still some progress, now if only I could see what was happening when it shows remixos instead of staring at a logo, which I might mention I disabled.
Thanks,
ERIC
Finally got it booting, but while it run, I can not get a keyboard so it is useless. Best I can do is Swiftkey Neural which shows 3 words, but no keyboard. It is as if it think I have a physical one connected even when I do not.

First I installed Remix OS with Windows 10 (Dualboot), I restarted my laptop, booted Windows 10 and at the OS Selection screen I chose Remix OS, it restarted, booted into Remix OS! Then I added Remix OS to my dualbooted Ubuntu Grub configuration with Grub-Customiser! Voila, I can boot from Grub from Ubuntu!
It should be similar for Grub2Win, but I wouldn't recommend it!

If RemixOS is installed, desintall it.
Create a new NTFS partition with sufficient space (H in my case)
Install Remix OS in the new partition (H), don't reboot!
Open Grub2win , manage a new entry. Choose Remix, and modify the "Linux Boot Parms" like this:
verbose androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SERIAL=random REMOUNT_RW=1 DATA= SRC=RemixOS CREATE_DATA_IMG=1 androidboot.swrast=1
(quiet SERIAL=random is for open Google Play, REMOUNT_RW=1 is for having a RW system, if you don't want, don't put this option, androidboot.swrast=1 is for going further than the Remix logo)
Next, in the directory where Grub2win is (ie C:\), install AS ADMINISTRATOR a symlink (right click on Start, command prompt as administrator, cd C:\ and type mklink RemixOS H:\RemixOS), it's H in my case, change for your choice.
Reboot, and launch Remix in the Grub2win screen, and be happy

I have tried to boot with Grub2win and Android 6.0 r1, but, If in the Linux Boot Parms, I let "video=-16", the screen is yellow, only the letters "and" are visible and white on the right side, while I put vga=791 in place, the screen is black, but stuck at the flashing logo. I don't know, at this time, what to do!
Hello XDA,
I'm desperately trying to get Remix OS to run on my test laptop : it is an Acer ASPIRE 5315 with a Celeron M 530 @ 1.73Ghz and an Intel GMA X3100. I've 'installed' RemixOS by copying system.sfs, kernel, initrd.img and ramdisk.img in a folder called /RemixOS at the root of my Xubuntu installation and also created a data folder inside this RemixOS folder as suggested by tutorials. Note that Xubuntu runs just fine on this PC despite its age (although you have to forcepae when installing). I then created a grub boot entry using grub-customizer as follows :
NAME: RemixOS
TYPE: Other
BOOT SEQUENCE:
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,1)'
linux /RemixOS/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive SRC=/RemixOS
initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img
When selecting this GRUB entry, the kernel loads fine (but it tells me intel powerclamp is not supported on my CPU) and I then rapidly get to the RemixOS blinking boot image. However, I am stuck here forever. Can anyone tell me if it's just my PC which is incompatible or whether I did something wrong?
Thanks!
Hmm.. have you chmod it? (Dir/files)
Best to make a livebootusb stick...then check if it runs.. and if runs good enough to install
Cheers

Thanks for the help. I'll try chmodding it. I know about first trying with a liveCD/USB
To be honest, I had burned the ISO but with the DVD, I could not even get to the Remix OS blinking image (although the kernel loaded). I guess I'll give it a try with a USB flash drive.
