Problem Installing as single boot on hard drive - Remix OS for PC

I used this guide to try to install on a mini PC:
Prepare a USB flash drive with Remix OS installed & Boot from USB flash drive
> Choose ‘Resident mode’, press ‘e’
> Delete ‘USB_PARTITION=1’ in the command line
> add ‘INSTALL=2’
> Press ‘F10’ to boot
> The installation will take place automatically.
http://support.jide.com/hc/en-us/ar...all-Remix-OS-for-PC-single-boot-on-hard-disk-
But once I follow the steps and click F10 it takes me to a screen thats says
Android-x86 in the middle and
do_preinstall 2
inst_hd: sda
select_hd:mmcblk0
and it just sits there.
(screenshots attached)
Please help!
Thank you,

[Q] [SL4A] Noob problem: SL4A + Pyton doesn't work.

Hello
I have started to read "Pro Android Python with SL4A" by Paul Ferril & immediately failed while trying to execute Python script. I'd be very thankful to anybody who can provide a little explanation about SL4A + Python installation process.
So, my steps:
1) I opened this page, read QR code, downloaded and installed sl4a_r6.apk.
2) I opened previously installed SL4A app on my phone, press Menu > View > Interpreters, the list of the interpreters appeared with only one item - "Shell".
3) I pressed Menu > Add > Python 2.6.2, this started downloading of the "PythonForAndroid_r5.apk". I downloaded that file & installed it.
4) I opened newly installed "Python for Android" and press "Install" button in the app. Some components and scripts were installed successfully.
5) I opened the "SL4A" app again, press Menu > View > Interpreters, the "Python 2.6.2" item appeared in the list together with the "Shell".
6) I pressed "Back" button, the "Scripts" screen appeared with a list of scripts with the "py" extension.
7) I pressed on the "hello_world.py", the little pop-up appeared with the buttons "Execute", "Settings" (at least, with the settings icon), "Edit" and so on.
8) If I press the "Execute" button, I get only the black screen with the label "hello_world.py exited".
9) If in "SL4A" app I press Menu > View > Interpreters and the select "Shell" I will get terminal with the Linux Prompt ".... $". But If I go to the SL4A > View > Interpreters and the select "Python 2.6.2" I will receive black screen with the label at the top: "Python 2.6.2 exited."
So, as from the novice's point of view, the Python process is terminated each time I try to start it. What can be done in this situation?

I tried rooted ISO and no luck to get it on virtual machine, but it worked normally from USB, may be this new one will work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/remix-os-pc-hacked-edition-ota-v2-0-201-t3345968
Installed as resident, but doesn't finish loading.
I followed the instructions to install resident. Seems to have installed correctly. I couldn't removed the virtual CD from VirtualBox settings so I renamed the iso file. Stuck loading with the Remix OS black load screen. Any ideas?
VirtualBox on Windows 7 x64, followed directions with 16GB hard drive, 2GB RAM on virtual machine.
*Update: It did eventually start up. Works, but slow. I didn't think it would need more than 2GB of RAM. Maybe all try it again with more. It freezes up on my too - becomes unresponsive.
Hi , just did this ... so i thought id share my results to help anyone out there ....
Macbook pro early 2011 i7 Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
I tried many solutions out there to create a bootable USB ,
tried converting ISO to img and unetbootin (no go stuck on android x86 logo on bootup)
tried dd ing the ISO to usb drive ( same thing )
added refind to hidden EFI partition (using linux) and rebooted ( got past android logo - then stuck on flashing remix logo)
hmmmm
So anyways - I have parallels and a windows 10 install - booted windows 10 in parallels and
used the remix USB install tool to install the remixISO to the USB.
then i created a VM in parallels using the method from above posts (Bombo1) steps below ....
1- Install Remix OS normal way (I used windows maybe other way available)
2- Open Parallels > File > New > Install Windows or another OS from a DVD or image file > Continue without a source > > for operation system you will choose Ubuntu Linux or Other linux or FreeBSD (maybe other will work too) > OK > Type the name you want > Customize settings before installation > Hardware >
A- CPU & Memory > Processors: 1 or more (Choose half for first time)
Memory 1024 or more (Choose half for first time)
B- Boot Order > External device > and select the USB with Remix OS pre installed (important)
Then it booted and to my delight worked fine ....
Im yet to have a proper play - but yea
Parallels Tools?

No.
Parallels Tools is a set of drivers, kernel modules and software that has to be designed for the guest OS.
There isn't a set of tools for Android.
Installed successfully on my Mac with Parallels, but it refuses to install MS Word: "Microsoft office apps can't install on this device. This device uses a processor that doesn't meet the system requirements for installing Office." I put 2 cores and 1024 MB RAM.

What you can try is the following:
- Boot up from the Windows 10 installation DVD
- Select your language and keyboard, click on Next
- Click on "Repair your computer"
- Click on "Continue" (this will only work if the Windows installation DVD recognizes your Windows 10 installation)
Windows 10 will now be booted from the installation DVD
Now do the following:
- Download EasyBCD
- Open up EasyBCD and click on "Add New Entry"
- Click on the Windows tab and select your Windows version in the "Type: " box
- Give your new boot entry a name like "Windows 10"
- Select the proper drive where Windows 10 is installed
- Click on "Add Entry"
Congratulations, you just added the Windows 10 boot entry again!
Thanks for your answer. i repaired with console administration from windows installation.

Change the default boot up to Windows 10 instead of Remix OS.

I have successfully installed Remix OS on my Acer Switch Alpha 12 with dual boot Win 10 and Remix OS and most of the things work great. Can anyone here share a guide on how to change the default boot up to Windows 10 instead of Remix OS as per the attached screen capture and possible to shorten the waiting time from 30 seconds to 3 seconds maybe. I have tried to edit it from Windows 10 as per attached screen capture but there show only Windows 10 and no Remix OS.
Use EasyBCD application in Windows
I tried EasyBCD and in UEFI mode but I didn't proceed further as I got this error
"EFI Bootloader Detected!
EasyBCD has detected that your machine is currently booting in EFI mode. Due to limitations set by Microsoft, many of EasyBCD’s multi-booting features cannot be used in EFI mode and have been disabled."
Not sure if safe to proceed, but all advise is most welcome...
Okay... I don't own a UEFI machine to trial so lets try another way. Open start menu in windows and in search enter 'msconfig' then enter. A small windows will open showing you boot option. Choose Windows 10 and set it default. Then reboot to see the results.

Try something and tell me what is the result:
Hold the mouse pointer over the window on lower left of screen
Right-click and select the option Command Prompt (Admin)
Allow the command prompt
At the next screen type: mountvol x: /s
If you do not receive an error message then type: cd x:\
If you see a prompt with X:\> then we can continue from there; post what you found

Hi,
I can mount X: as per your guide and can access to X:\ by typing "x:" but not "cd x:". However, I have already mapped my network drive on to X:\. Is this ok?
Well since you are already using X then try again using another letter such as Z

I just went through this process this week. I had the same question as you, and did alot of experimentation to get the solution. This is how it works on my system (Lenovo tablet, Windows 10 Pro, Remix OS, dual boot using Grub boot loader).
Okay, ignore what you've done so far.
Assume we have a first-time installation of Remix OS.
My instructions will only help you in this situation.
I can't really correct any experiments you may have done after that.
1) When the Remix OS installation tool tells you to reboot, don't do it. Just exit it, and restart after we finish the steps below.
2) Open command prompt as an Administrator.
3) Mount your boot partition by following these instructions. I think you may have had problems with past advice because it is not so clear. This tutorial has clear steps:
Code:
http://linuxbsdos.com/2015/09/05/how-to-delete-grub-files-from-a-boot-efi-partition-in-windows-10/
4) Navigate to the following folder (change drive letter "Z:" to whatever you used to mount the boot drive):
Code:
Z:\Boot\Grub\
5) Edit the file "grub.cfg"
6) To set a default OS, that the Grub boot loader always highlights:
- Search grub.cfg and ensure the entry menuentry 'Windows' is above menuentry 'Remix OS'.
- This basically indicates that Windows is the first option in the boot menu, and Remix OS is second.
- Search grub.cfg and find the entry set default="${saved_entry}"
- Replace it with set default=0
- This basically tells the Grub boot loader to highlight the top entry (Windows) everytime it starts.
7) To change the countdown timer, that the Grub boot loader uses:
- Search grub.cfg for set timeout=
- Replace it with set timeout=3 (you can change "3" to whatever countdown number you like)
8) OPTIONAL! To set the default OS to repeat whatever was last selected:
- Suppose in the future, you want the the Grub boot loader to automatically highlight whatever OS was selected last.
- In my situation, the Remix OS installation tool has a glitch where it makes "Remix OS" automatically selected every startup.
- To correct this, repeat all the actions to mount the boot drive & edit the grub.cg file (see "6)" instructions).
- Search grub.cfg for menuentry 'Windows'
- In the line under it, add the text: savedefault
- Search grub.cfg for menuentry 'Remix OS'
- Ensure that somewhere in the lines below, the text savedefault exists. If not, add it manually.
- The problem, in my situation, was that the Remix OS installation tool only added "savedefault" to the Remix OS entry...and not the Windows entry. By adding that line to both OS's, the Grub bootloader can properly tell which OS was selected last & choose it for you on startup.
piece of cake. modify this on your Grub line
set default="${savedefault}" <--------change to this
function savedefault {
saved_entry="${chosen}"
save_env saved_entry
menuentry 'Windows 10' --class windows {
savedefault <-----------Add this(Tells it to always highlight Windows)
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /EFI/MICROSOFT/BOOT/BOOTMGFW.EFI
chainloader (${root})/EFI/MICROSOFT/BOOT/BOOTMGFW.EFI
Go to the RemixOS line and remove savedefault from that line and done. Now it will always boot with Windows highlighted
set timeout=30 <---------Modify 30 to whatever youd like for Timeout
I made a batch file for Easy Mounting of the EFI partition. It's set up to use drive Z, so if you have a drive Z already, modify my batch file to use whatever drive you'd like. Extract and run as Admin
