Hi All!
Installed remix OS the other day on my Lenovo Yoga 300 as it is pretty much incapable of running Windows 10!
It's much smoother now however my touchscreen doesn't work which is a pain. I have done some research and see that drivers in android are not made and managed in the same way as through Windows. Instead they are integrated into the code. Is there anyway I could get my touchscreen working?
Kind Regards,
Darren

Hey XDA! This is my first post so bear with me...
Recently Acer announced their new Tegra K1 Chromebook and I have to say it's pretty intriguing. I really want to buy one, my only problem being Chrome OS. Don't get me wrong, I love it, it's just not robust enough for me. I want to really make use of the K1 by playing more high end games like ones for Android that are more optimized for it. Touchscreen not being a huge issue here. I'd use a PS3 controller of course. Plus with all the apps already developed for the Droid platform it makes a lot more sense than web based Chrome OS.
So, question time.....
Do you think it would be possible to install KitKat or maybe even Android L Beta on a system like this? I have researched it a little and the Tegra uses ARMv7 architecture. I don't know a whole lot about what that means, but as far as I understand it's 64-bit not 32. Does that mean I would have to use a special KitKat OS on this? Also how in the world would I go about doing this? I have successfully installed Ubuntu (I think 12.04) on an older Samsung Chromebook which dual boots both Ubuntu and Chrome OS; however, I am not sure that the steps involved would be the same. Seeing as how this is a fairly new device, Google is of no help whatsoever....
EXTRA, EXTRA!
Would it be possible to make Android the default OS so it auto boots without going to the OS verification screen?
Thanks for reading! Really hope I can get some answers, looking forward to doing some "real" gaming on the cheap!
The 32 bit install of Remix OS went perfect, got Google Play and Kodi, and everything elserunning super smooth, on an all-in-one Hp Touchsmart 300-1003, but I cannot figure out how to get the touchscreen to work. Other than that, there is no problem whatsoever with my dualboot WIN 7, on my HP, or my ASUS EEE 1001px laptop, or my Gigabyte G1 A88X Sniper with Amd A8-6600k, and R7 270x. All 3 systems do everything perfectly. If someone could figure out how I can get my touchscreen to work just fine, I might even just single boot my hp with Remix, for ****s and giggles...
Thanks for the fun toy/os to **** with, and thanks for the root also. I ****ing love this site and all of the hard work the devs put into something that is ultimately so dumb. Thanks guys!

Hey, it's not stupid, it's just not even close to fulfill it's potential.

First think I'd do is check if it's simply 'stuck': press ALT&F1 and enter rmmod i2c_hid && modprobe i2c_hid
Failing that, if you want to potentially get touchscreen to work; what I'd suggest is try booting a linux live cd and see if that supports your touchscreen. If it does post the output of lsmod, lspci and lsusb.
Personally I think Jide should create/suggest a small linux build with open-sourced drivers only (perhaps an ARCH build) - for end users to try on there system to see if there issue is due to no linux/open source support.
I know that there may be many other guides out there that talk about this subject, but what I found is that they don't really work that well with the latest versions of RemixOS, and I had to do a lot of research and tinkering to get mine working.
With that, I felt that it was helpful for me to share my findings and how I got it working, so I made a video for it.
Hope you guys find it useful.
Great video. I'd love to try it but I still can't get Remix to run on my old single core mobile cpu laptop but there is no support for these older cpu's and I've not had any helpful feedback from the Remx team, or any of the forums. It's a shame because the old machine wouid probably run Remix way better than windows, or an old version of Linux.. Dell Inspiron 5150 with Intel Pentium 4 3.06 GHz. It's not a great machine by todays standards but it bugs me that it's just sitting on the shelf.
Hey thanks for the video, although I still can't get it to boot up on its own. I have a gateway netbook which shouldn't be too far off from the Acer. Everything goes smoothly, everything works, till I reboot. The os doesn't load, I just get a black screen with a blinking underscore on the top left. I have tried everything I know, which is not too much. Any help would be great.
Thanks

Try DamnSmallLinux, a great tiny distro for pcs with low performance.
Okay, so before I start, I'm just going to say I know next to nothing about chromebooks or hacking them, aside from I just bought one
With that aside, I bought an Acer Chromebook R11, and I wanted to know if there was any way I could install Remix OS on it and run that instead of Chrome OS? I know Chrome OS can run Android apps now, but Remix OS is just so much smoother and seamless in how it does everything imo, and I like it a bit more
If anyone can help, I appreciate it a lot!

It not really a good idea cause remixos stopped his development and it should stay under marshmallow ...Another alternative is phoenix already exist and last build is nougat ...
Note that I tried both under another device but my Chromebook r11 with android apps is great for me ..
The other os are not much smoother as you said ...
Hello.
I'm trying to install Remix OS on tablet "Lenovo ThinkPad 10" (1gen). Processor Z3795 with Intel 7th Gen graphics. I installed x86 and x64 versions, but there is no touch screen support.
Is there any way to do something about it?
I can't help you with that, but good to know someone's trying!!!
I'm also trying to get a reliable Android OS to run on my Thinkpad 10. I've so far discarded all emulators, and also not in favour of virtual because of low power of our tablets. I've so far only tried Android-x86's ROM and though that's a lovely piece of software, running beautifully with touch and keyboard and pen and all, I can't get it to produce sound nor use bluetooth.
