I would love some help with this one. I'm want to make a flashdrive that I can plug into any computer and then boot my own system from theirs. But, not all systems support Remix OS, which is what I currently have installed to the flashdrive. So what I want to do is install Phoenix OS on the same drive to boot when I'm using a computer that doesn't have the right processor family for Remix OS. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

If you are on Windows:
Install RemixOS on your drive, make a copy of it using WIN32DiskImager or similar, Then Install Phoenix OS and lower its Partition size, then readd your RemixOS
Linux Mint: Same as Windows, but I recommend "gnome-disks" for the partitioning stuff

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with installation of android x 86 on Acer Aspire V3-731. I have ready installed Windows 8.1 and Linux Mint. I have one disk (sda) with 14gb of free space in partition sda11. So I've downloaded .iso of android x86 i doing the bootable usb with unetbootin. I reboot laptop and I chose a Legacy Bios because in Uefi pendrive doesn't boot. I selected install android x86 to harddisk and i saw an error: GPT[...]Use GNU Parted. So i trying to installed android in other pendrive, I selected pendrive, formate to fat32 and installed android, .iso image and I skipped question of installed grub but system doesn't work after reboot. What do i do? When i select to install grub and android in pendrive, i substitute linux/windows grub? It doesn't work because Linux and Windows working under Uefi?

Have you tried formatting your destination drive with ext3 format? Also, choose yes for grub during install, and choose 'do not format'. Use third party formatting tool, like MiniTool from your Windows to prepare the destination disk.
Good Luck
If I install android in pendrive and also install grub. Do I replace windows/linux grub or bootloader?

As long as Android x-86 is concerned, I have been formatting and installing it for the last 2 weeks in a row. With a quest to sort just one mission out and it seems impossible to achieve....
You have created a tricky question to answer. You have a Windows computer, and have a Linux Mint (that's dual boot). And atm you are in quest of Android
Well with my recent experience, installing Android on 149GB external disk, using USB key drive as installer, I have had no issues with the system boot. It does not interfere.
However, a little while ago I did the same thing trying to install Ubuntu on internal disk, and it seems that it has created an entry in the Boot Options in BIOS. I don't know how to get rid of that, and it does not bother me anyways.
Secure or fast boot should take you straight to Windows when you don't want USB boot. To be on a safe side, prepare a Windows USB recovery disk, create Restore points, do back ups and cross your fingers.... just remember it is a risk you choose to take, and disasters do happen Just don't curse me please ...
I wan't to install android in pebdrive.

Hello everyone,
I have a lenovo Z570 laptop running win 10 right now. It does not have a usb 3.0 port, however after reading posts here on this forum, I believe that it is not an issue for installing Remix OS.( It lags and all, but....)
The issue I am facing is,
I have downloaded the legacy version of the Remix OS image from the official website. I installed it in a USB stick ( 8 GB, formatted to FAT32) and a memory card ( 16GB, Formatted to FAT32). I used the Remix tool and I also tried the unetbootin tool as well.
Both the remix usb tool and the unetbootin installs the OS in the drive, but when I go to my BIOS, it doesnt show that drive at all. I wonder what I am doing wrong, because I am very familiar with OS and BIOS and have used USB booting to install windows in the same PC before.
Any help? I really wanna try and see the Remix OS before I partition my HDD for a dual boot setup.
Thanks in advance.

Making a partition and dual booting is much more simpler than playing around with the pendrives. Use the install to hard disk option. Its much better.

Nope. It clearly says 8gb minimum. Reading is a skill, not an art. Maybe you should try it sometimes.

Well done, u sure do live up to ur name
BTW, i was just wondering if that is a possibility. If u have ever played a game, u must have heard of min sys requirements. Sometimes we can go wayyyyy below them and still run it. + xda is all about workarounds and doing things that would look not possible .
I was assuming you would know a workaround or maybe a tip for me... but my bad
I am already excited about Remix going beta.

You can run remix os on 4gb buy you will barely have any space i believe the OS takes 3.6 gb and if I'm not mistaken your 4gb open fine should only have around 3.8 gb free

A few days ago i installed remix os to my 40gb hdd (not primary hdd) via a hard drive case that puts ide through usb. After i installed remix, i booted back into windows and used rmx tools to expand my data partition to 34gb and then i went back to remix and everything worked fine. i installed google services and rebooted a few times and everything was still working. then, to get better performance out of it, i plugged the 40gb hdd back into my motherboard via the ide cable. Now whenever i try to boot into remix again it gets stuck on "detecting android-x86" and won't do anything else. The hard drive status light also stops. I've tried plugging my install usb into the computer when it gets stuck but that does nothing. Any help? my specs are
Intel core 2 duo @2.8
ati radeon 4760 gpu
asus p5ql mobo
250gb hdd (primary)
40gb hdd formatted in ntfs (so i could have 34gb of data)
Seems like it can't read the data partition or something, I don't know how you installed this but maybe you should get a linux distro running first, that makes it so much easier to manage Remix OS see http://forum.xda-developers.com/rem...buntu-mint-t3311865/post65243289#post65243289 for example
You can also try to add the boot option DATA_IN_MEM=1 to see if it boots up

I installed it from a 16gb flash drive to the hard drive. Where do I add that boot option?
I have installed stable lineage OS 14.1 on my PC. but before the last logo of the is shown it says (Detecting Android-x68.................................................... found at /dev/sdb3)
console:/#(...........................................)
I don't know what to write after (console:/#)
Can anyone help me with this.
I appreciate that...
Is it possible to boot remix on a separate HD? I have a PC with Windows on a HD and I'm wanting to add a second HD drive to boot remix. I tried dual boot on 1 drive but for some reason after a while remix would lock up on boot. Also if I leave remix booted up for a while the pc goes into hibernate?
Yes, it can be done.
I have Windows 10 on one SSD and Remix on a second SSD.
Use the Remix installer for the second drive and it will take care of the boot order also.
Good to hear, can u explain further?

Not much to explain. Install it the same way you did when you installed it on a partition with Windows.
When you use the Remix installer, point it to the drive you want to use. Make sure it is formatted to NTFS.
If you want to make the internal storage size larger than 8GB, use this guide to expand it.
I used it to expand mine to 70GB. Its easy to use.

I followed those instructions but it installed on the windows drive instead of the drive I pointed too
Hi folks
I have a 64bit hp chromebox that has 4gb of ram that I was using as a standalone for openeleq. I switched that to win 10 which ran pretty much perfect with a Bluetooth speaker attached. I have since come across remix os which I ran alongside win 10 on a separate partition that worked fine also. What I want to know is can I install remix os directly to my chromebox ssd as s standalone os that just boots directly into remix os with no windows or anything. I have purchased a little external enclosure for the m2 ssd and had it hooked to my pc last night. I formatted it to fat 32 then ran the remix os install tool and installed it to hard drive (my chromebox ssd). Anyway after install I slipped it back into my chromebox but it won't boot. I get an error at the seabios screen telling me it is unable to read hard disk. Will this be possible to do if so can someone help please. Thankyou
*****update solved*****
Been hacking away at it today and I have found a solution. Plug in your ssd via external enclosure to your pc and format to ntfs. Then downloaded pendrive Linux (universal USB installer) and choose the bottom option (try unlisted Linux iso). Load up the Remix os for pc iso and write it to the ssd. Put the ssd back in the chromebox and it will boot straight into Remix os.
Note: If you are doing it from a fresh chromebox still running chrome os on it then it needs to be flashed first to a custom bios. I have option 6 on mine standalone custom core firmware.
The Kodi E-Z setup script will do this.
Just Google it and follow the instructions.
Remix os will allocate 8gb of internal space regardless of the ssd size when using ntfs. Just load up Remix os on your chromebox and follow the install till you get to the desktop screen then shut it down. Then just remove the ssd from your chromebox and put it back into the enclosure and connect it back to your pc. Just Google increase Remix os internal storage and there is a simple tutorial on how to do this. Mine is 48gb ?. Sorry for not posting links I did try but as I am a newbie I wasn't allowed.
Hope this helps anyone.

Been hacking away at it today and I have found a solution. I downloaded rufus but at first it wouldnt pick up my m.2 ssd in the enclosure so I pressed alt + f together and it appeared. I installed the remix os iso on it and bang it works.
Anyone who has a chromebox and wants remix on it as a standalone operating system then pick up an enclosure and follow the steps above. Thanks
Hope this helps anyone else

do you have to custom bios to use this method?

Yes just google Kodi E-Z setup script and follow the instructions to prep your box and flash the custom firmware. I have mine on option 6 standalone custom core boot firmware. It works flawlessly.
