Good to see a new release
But this forum on XDA, don't you think is messed up a lot? So many repeated questions and answers, polls etc, while the useful guides, tricks, and tools are just lost somewhere. It's very hard to find things in here.
In my opinion there should be a separate question and answer sub-forum, just like many development forums have. And all the announcement, releases, guides, tools, etc should be in a clean sub-forum. This one it'll be easy to know where to look for problem and where to look for solutions.
Thanks

I uploaded the 2.0.402 version of last week. The version cited here is different ?
Stupid question... I'm new to RemixOS (just installed it a week or so ago) - am I supposed to be able to upgrade to this via OTA upgrade? When I try, it just tells me that I'm onthe latest release (2.0.205).
Or are OTA updates not yet implemented?
Thank you!
EDIT: Also, any way to mount Samba filesystems on Remix? THat is one thing that I really need (have a FreeNAS server that I need direct access to, preferably via cifs)..

Hmm, I also found that with the new version, I can no longer see my "Windows disk" from within RemixOS (could see and access it fine with previous version). I'll have to look into that... If anyone has any tips, I'm all ears!

I also not see the update when I click on Updates. It makes no difference if I choose the stable or the development branch.
Or is it possible to do the upgrade manually? (e.g. extract image files from ISO and replace the existing files?) Which files do I have to replace then?
Thanks

can't get google play to work. Tried everything:
1. Downloaded GMSInstaller.apk
2. Installed APK file and run it.
3. Clicked on "One-click to install Google Services" (this will automatically download google play services)
4. cleared cache of all 3: play, framework and service
5. rebooted, google play didn't work
6. cleared cache again and repeated 5-6 for 2 times
7. tried clearing google play cache only, rebooted and tried to launch google play - still couldn't sign.
8. reinstalled remix os
9. went for the local copy by executing as root:
pm disable com.jide.apppolicy
pm enable com.android.vending
pm enable com.google.android.gms
pm enable com.google.android.gsf
pm enable com.google.android.gsf.login
repeated 4-6 steps afterward, still cannot sign in (and all caches are cleared numerous times).
How should I continue investigation further on?
p.s. successfully installed remix os on asus eeepc 1000h, x86
stuck on fullscreen mode for all apps and system, switch locked, no way to get back to windows mode, any help welcome...

I ended up updating by booting into Windows and just running the installation application over again - and told it to keep my data. That worked, but so far, I found .205 to work better overall - at least on my system (and old dual-core Pentium PC). Without access to my Windows "C" drive, it really limits the usefulness of RemixOS since I have tons of stuff on that drive.
I have not yet tried to add it manually though... I might try a fresh install of the latest release too...

Hm. I didn't installed it with the Windows installer but manually with the tutorial step 1 "Install Remix OS on HDD [Using Ubuntu]:".
Can I replace the existing files initrd.img, kernel, ramdisk.img and system.img? Will I then loose my apps and settings?

To install the Play Store, you have to use the Installer in Remix Central.

You can replace those files - your apps and settings would be kept as they are in data.img (or data folder/partition)

6. remix central (10:36)
7. reloaded remix central twice (wasn't connected yet 10:36)

9. opening downloads 10:39
10. clicking on downloaded GSM_activ...apk. Google services installer launched , clicking install 10:39
11. Open after installation and clicking "install google services" 10:40

i would suggest to use your old remix 205 if you had one with playstore working and just replace the files except your data folder/img, the files i mean initdr, kernel, ramdisk and system

Which method did you use for enabling the Play Store?
You should repeat your Remix OS installation and use this method. Don't forget restarting Remix OS after enabling the Play Store - then you should not get the error message you described.
The key issue here is that Jide did not provide the required reboot when it was needed. You need to reboot as soon as the Play Store enabler is done. To fix this, enable the root console in either jide settings or experimental settings, then hit Alt-F1, and in the colsole, type
Code:
wipe data && reboot
This will reboot RemixOS back to a fresh install, so from here, setup as normal, and remember to reboot as soon as the Play Store enabler is finished
This hasn't helped I'm afraid.
I've just a completely clean install and touched nothing other than using the activator followed by a reboot.
Before wiping, I also tried a factory reset and enabling via the console. The only thing I did following the clean boot was to enable the console.
Any other suggestions? I'm all out!

I never use the app. Instead go to settings/experimental features and enable debug terminal console. Then I use ALT&F1 to open debug command line and type :
pm disable com.jide.apppolicy
pm enable com.android.vending
pm enable com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts
pm enable com.google.android.gms
pm enable com.google.android.gsf
pm enable com.google.android.partnersetup
pm enable com.google.android.feedback
pm enable com.google.android.syncadapters.calendar
pm enable com.google.android.gsf.login
pm enable com.google.android.backuptransport
After type pm list packages -d
You should see only the one you disabled
Press ALT&F7 zto exit terminal
IMMEDIATELY REBOOT!

Thanks for the reply but I've also tried this approach with a clean marshmallow install too. Internet works fine so it's not that. All packages enabled (there were more than just those listed there). Not sure what else to try!
Hello,
same problem here solved by the instruction SERIAL=random in the grub line which start the kernel.

by deleting the line? i don't understand, why others don't face the problem?
Not deleting, just adding in the existing line. The pb. occurs because manual re-install and the serial file has disappeared in the Remix data partition.

Fwiw the new 3.0.104 supposedly solves the Play Store problem
Same problem at my installation
Same problem
I did a clean install on one laptop with Ubuntu with SERIAL=random and used the activator and it worked fine same thing on another laptop and for some reason the other one is not working ???
Has someone tried to run Pokemon GO on latest version of Remix OS?
I tried but im having “Failed to detect location error”. Probably because of Fake GPS is not in expert mode. But i cant install Fake GPS as system app — Lucky Patcher having an error.
Haven't tried on remix but manually install it to system/app using root file manager and set correct permission for the folder and apk

Just an FYI, Niantic is extremely aware of GPS spoofing and has begun to actively permaban everyone doing so.
you can play the pokemon go app it works fine just don't try and play in full screen just don't touch the size at all it messes it up. also go into location and change it from device only to the one with wifi and the location should work fine

I'm on global Dev ROM (marshmallow) with root access and twrp installer.. I'd like to install viper4android..also how to uninstall it Incase I don't happen to like it (revert back to miui sound)..if any of you are already using it .. how did you liked it..is the difference really significant?thanks in advance
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Hey there.
I didn't stay on MIUI long enough to need to install V4A, but it has always been a staple for my daily drivers.
The difference in sound quality is huge, owing mostly to the tweaks, EQ and other sound effects in the app.
It's a simple process to install it.
First, make sure you have busybox installed.
Then download the latest version of the app from the official website, unzip it to get the apk and install it.
Open the app and you should get a prompt to install drivers. Just wait for it to install. If it appears to hang, exit the app and try again.
After successfully installing the drivers, reboot the phone.
When using the app, try playing around with the options in expert mode, which can be toggled on from the UI section in the menu.
