I have an old Inspiron 11z EEPC and i want to make it a kids friendly PC
The system is:
Processor: Intel® Celeron(R) CPU 743 @ 1.30GHz
Memory: 2GB
Graphics: Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset x86/MMX/SSE2
HDD: 150GB
OS: Ubuntu 16.10 - 32bit
Following some online tutorials i downloaded the 32Bit installer (release_Remix_OS_for_PC_Android_M_32bit_B2016112201) and extracted some of the files in a root create folder on HDD.
In detail a created a “remix” and a “remix/data” in / folder.
Then extracted some files from the ISO and copied in “remix” folder (the files are initrd.img, kernel, ramdisk.img, system.img).
Then i modified grub using this entry:
Code:
menuentry "Remix OS" --class android-x86 {
insmod part_gpt
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /remix/kernel
linux /remix/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_32 androidboot.selinux=permissive DATA=/remix/data SRC=/remix
initrd /remix/initrd.img
}
Using grub I try to run Remix OS but it stall on pulsating logo
Any ideas?? i think it’s something related with the Grub script (i’m not an expert ubuntu user…. )
Thanks

How I Installed remix OS beta - Using:
Asus K53U - Vision E2 - Radeon Mobile HD Graphics 6320
CPU - 825hrz ~ 1600 mhrz x 2 core
Memory - 8GB DDR2 RAM
SSD - Samsung 120GB (110 Usuable)
1.Have Kubuntu 15.10 Running As my Main OS.
2.Then get Unetbootin (avail. in most Ubuntu distros search software center
3.I formatted the USB 3.0 I had to FAT32 and used Unetbootin to add the files from the Remix OS beta.iso (could extract to desktop or folder)
4.Now you need you file browser with root access. for me was - sudo dolphin -
you might need to replace "dolphin" with "nautilus" or whatever file browser you use.
5. In the file browser navigate to the usb and copy all files.
6. No go to the root file system and create a folder"remix" or something similar.
7. Paste the copied files from usb into here. Add an empty folder named "data" inside the remix folder you just made.
8. Now we need to edit Grub to boot to that folder. - sudo kate /etc/grub.d/40_custom - is the command in Terminal to edit grub. You may need to replace the "kate" with your text editor - more than likley gedit -
9. Copy Everything below here and paste under "# the 'exec tail' line above."
menuentry "Remix - OS" {
set root=(hd0,1)
# If you didn't call your folder REMIX then change the next line accordingly.
linux /Remix/kernel initrd=/Remix/initrd.img boot=LABEL=Remix disk=LABEL= quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SRC= DATA=/Remix/data/
initrd /Remix/initrd.img
}
10. Save this file and close. Now update grub by command - sudo update-grub -
11. You should get no error as below or similar.
[email protected]:~$ sudo update-grub
Generating grub configuration file ...
Warning: Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported.

12. Reboot - and just after bios boots hit esc. You should get the grub boot screen and at the bottom should be option for Remix OS. Highlight and hit enter.
13. Choose Resident Mode at the next screen. And wait for it to boot.
14. I had no problems with this method, and by creating empty data folder I share my SSD space with Kubuntu but it cant see Kubuntu's file. So I have now after all the installs and the Kubuntu stuff 60GB of space. I hope this helps. I look forward to hearing your results.
Hello guys,
I have bought a Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 10" and installed Remix OS 32-bit through provided tool. Unfortunately, I have Bluetooth keyboard which doesn't work before full system loading, therefore I can't choose Remix OS on boot screen.
Installation of Remix OS also created the second "Windows Bootloader" entry in EFI Boot from menu (which is operable by touch). When I choose the first Win Bootloader, it throws me directly to Windows 10 loading screen without displaying the boot choice between Windows 10 and Remix OS (which is present on second Win Bootloader option).
So I've got an idea to edit the boot file of Remix OS to boot directly without asking me, whether I want to load Remix or Windows. Therefore I will be able to boot Remix without keyboard when choosing second bootloader, and Windows when choosing the first one.
When I used the live version of Remix OS, I edited grub.cfg to load system directly without waiting for confirmation from keyboard:
set timeout=0
set gfxmode=1024x768
terminal_output gfxterm
menuentry 'Guest mode - No data will be saved after each session' --class android-x86 {
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /kernel
linuxefi /kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet DATA= DATA_IN_MEM=1
initrdefi /initrd.img
}
Is this also possible on installed version of Remix OS? I have tried to edit grub.cfg located in D:/RemixOS/efi/boot to match the code above, but after restart I was greeted with choice screen (so it didn't work).
Thank you in advance for any replies!

Hi Cleo ....
Did you ever figure out how to do this, ? cause I would like to do the same boot straight into remix without a dual boot option...
I am trying to add remix OS as a 2nd boot option to a machine that is currently single booting Mint 18 with full disk encryption.
I followed the tutorial for the new marshmallow Remix installed alongside Mint and it worked great on a non-encrypted test box, but I'm having issues doing it on my primary laptop that was installed with full disk encryption option at install time for Mint 18.
How do I need to modify the grub entry for Remix to make it work? For reference here is the grub setup for my Mint installation:
Code:
menuentry 'Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon 64-bit, with Linux 4.4.0-21-generic' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-4.4.0-21-generic-advanced-1e6da0b0-6645-4904-a8f7-0c2e7ddbce83' {
recordfail
load_video
gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode
insmod gzio
if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='hd1,msdos1'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd1,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd1,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci1,msdos1 ffd7222b-aa1e-44d6-a010-e33cefd386d1
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root ffd7222b-aa1e-44d6-a010-e33cefd386d1
fi
echo 'Loading Linux 4.4.0-21-generic ...'
linux /vmlinuz-4.4.0-21-generic root=/dev/mapper/mint--vg-root ro quiet splash $vt_handoff
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /initrd.img-4.4.0-21-generic
}
Here is the default Remix OS entry that I need to modify so that the encrypted volume is mounted first the same way it is for Mint. I have no idea what I need to do to achieve this. Looking above I see the set root options many times... evidently that doesn't do what I thought it did because I've tried every version of setting the root below and getting it badly wrong. My remix lives in /remix just like in the tutorial except that my / is on the encrypted volume.
Code:
menuentry 'Remix OS' --class android-x86 {
insmod part_gpt
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /remix/system.img
linux /remix/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive CMDLINE
initrd /remix/initrd.img
}

See whether this helps http://www.pavelkogan.com/2014/05/23/luks-full-disk-encryption/
You'll have to instruct grub to decrypt volume at the boot time.

Thanks for the reply. Unless I am missing something, this isn't relevant since I don't have an encrypted boot. I have a normal run of the mill encrypted SSD using stock encryption options when you choose encrypt my whole disk during a Mint or Ubuntu fresh, whole disk installation.
My disk has a NON encrypted boot, then another encrypted partition that everything else lives in.
I just need to know how to kick off the encryption the same way the Mint install does so that the remix os boot can continue. With my poking at the grub cfg I think it has something to do with where I specify the "root" parameters. But until this point I haven't gotten it right... or I may be barking up the wrong tree.

So does that mean all your RemixOs stuff,including kernel,initrd,ramdisk reside within the encrypted partition?
I would suggest you to use something like EFISTUB booting,if you are using UEFI. You'll have to place kernel and initrd in ESP(EFI system partition).
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.
I am trying to install Android on a Lenovo Yoga 9i with an i7 10th generation processor which dual boots Win 11 and Kubuntu 22.04. I have been able to install PrimeOS, Android-x86 and BlissOS to the kubuntu root using the following isos – PrimeOS-2.1.3-64-bit-20220719-BETA.iso -- android_x86_64-a12.1_r1-03.16.22-01-mesa22-ksu-gapps-libndk-sd.iso and
BlissOS-14.3-x86_64-202106261907_k-android12-5.10.46-ax86_m-21.1.3_r-x86_emugapps_cros-hd.iso manually for linux where I copy the kernel, initrd and system files to the appropriate folder. I create a data folder rather than a data.img file as this is marginally more flexible for my use. I use the following 40_custom grub file to allow me to start the different OS.
menuentry "BlissOS" { set SOURCE_NAME="dev/nvme0n1p8/blissos" search --set=root --file /$SOURCE_NAME/kernel

initrd /$SOURCE_NAME/initrd.img}
I have three issues common to all three Oss which I have cannot solve.
1. I am unable to permanently set a lockscreen password or pin. I can enter a password or pin but the system immediately reverts to none saved.
2. Unlike with earlier versions of Android-x86 (used on a Sony Vaio with touch and a lenovo yoga 3-11) I am unable to set an NTFS data partition as the external SD card. I have tried to find advice as to how I should adapt SDCARD=dev/nvme0n1p6 as it does not seem to work. Strangly PrimeOS mounts the Windows partition unasked.
3. Finally, I would like to run the BlissOS from a separate partition but it fails to find the partition with the kernel. I have tried using the UUID unsuccessfully.
/dev/nvme0n1p8: LABEL="blissos" UUID="69d92f25-8e97-46b8-b0d4-675106fafc60" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTLABEL="blissos" PARTU
UID="72a75f11-668e-bb48-8c14-6dce6e9ed391"
I have a minor problem with the Android-x86 iso in that it loads an initial screen with bright white lines in the lower part of the screen although I can get past this.

As I have removed these three ROM and replaced them with the stable Pie based ROM, 11 which I have installed at root, I have happily got rid of 2 of my three problems as follows:-
