I installed Remix 2.0 (32-bit) onto my Dell Mini 10 (1012) netbook. So far, everything seems to be detecting perfectly, except for one thing. The touchpad is supposed to be multi-touch but it doesn't function as such. It is worth mentioning that, on Windows, I required special driver software to be able to utilize the multi-touch capability. Considering I've seen some Chromebooks automatically have their multi-touch touchpads detected, I figured Remix would do the same for my Dell. That doesn't seem to be the case.
Anyway, if any of the Jide developers are reading this, I have the driver software available for you. Follow this link. The software was developed for Windows 7 by Elantech (ELAN Microelectronics Corp.) but is being supplied by Dell. The one the Dell Mini 10 has is a Capacitive Touchpad (Smart Pad).
Hi
I can't get passed the splash screen on my Dell mini. Was your install straight forward?

Are you trying to run off USB, or install onto the internal hard drive? Make sure you're using the 32-bit version, as the 64-bit wouldn't boot for me.
FYI, as you may know, the Mini doesn't like any HD video, so unfortunately very few Android games will run properly.
Thanks for getting back to me. I tried installing on hard drive via Linux using the most recent beta. I've upgraded the ram to 2gig and installed an ssd but not sure if that would cause issue.

I used 2GB RAM and an SSD as well. So that shouldn't be an issue. But the procedure I used was different than simply installing it onto the hard drive with another computer.
Don't install using a separate operating system. It doesn't seem to work that way. You need to load it onto a USB and install onto the hard drive using the Mini. The procedure for this is, when you come to the Guest/Resident mode screen, you press TAB, then add "INSTALL=1" to the end of the grub command. This will bring up the android-x86 install menu, which will allow you to install the OS onto the hard drive the same way as using another computer. Make sure the SSD is formatted to NFTS and is completely empty prior to doing this. You can alternatively try formatting it to EX4 instead.
When prompted, install GRUB, do not install GRUB2, install debug (wont work w/o idk why). Unfortunately, you will be left with the maximum internal storage after the install, so you need to go back and use the IMGTools procedure to enlarge data.img to whatever size you want your internal storage to be.
Thats what worked for me, anyway.
That worked brilliantly, thanks very much. Have you had any success with dual boot after intalling Remix first?

Haven't tried it. But if you use a NTFS format, you should easily be able to shrink the partition after install. You would also need to edit the GRUB menu to choose which OS you want to boot with, which I have no experience doing. However, I know the new beta version of Remix does have an install tool that does this for you. So if you were intending to dual boot Remix/Windows, then it is possible to install Windows first.
After i installing the remix os and enable auto time sync, i can't auto sync time on my windows 10. It says syncing error.
i install the beta version of remix os for pc on my computer hard drive. Boot on legacy.
Although i have uninstalled the remix os, windows still can't perform auto time sync.
Does anyone have idea how to fix this problem?
Thanks.
For me time sync works, but windows now sync wrong time zone. After every boot i have to go into clock settings, set wrong time zone and then my time zone again to get the right time.

How to change / edit android GMT to UTC ?
Does anyone know how to change android time GMT to UTC ?.. Windows 10 already using UTC and to put that "realtimeisuniversal" registry fix doesn't work. Already google how to change windows 10 UTC to GMT..seems impossible. On various Linux based OS its possible but on Android (especially Remix OS for PC) seems hard to find. Tried the command "hwclock -w" also doesn't work. Is the kernel clock or whatever buggy or something?..

OK! But, my time zone setting seems to be right at first place. The auto sync didn't work for me. And, if i change the time zone to other time zones, the time is still wrong for that time zone.
Thanks for your reply!
If you dual boot your Windows PC with OS X or Linux, you may have experienced a problem in which your clocks reset themselves incorrectly every time you boot into Windows. Here's a simple registry edit to fix that.
Essentially, the incorrect clock setting happens because OS X and Linux use GMT time while Windows tries to synchronize with your local time zone, getting confused when you reboot between the two.
To fix it, just hit Start and type
Code:
regedit.exe
in the search box. Hit Enter and navigate to
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation
. Right click anywhere in the right pane and hit
Code:
New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it RealTimeIsUniversal
then double click on it and give it a value of
Code:
1
Let me know how you go.
Kind of fix...at least for me..
I just tested Phoenix OS (triple booting) Windows 10 x64 & Remix OS.. somehow switching between windows 10 & phoenix os seems no problem with clock setting while when switching from remix os to windows 10 the annoying problem of clock setting is back.
Fully uninstall remix os seems a fix to me . So until remix os became stable..I won't use remix os for the time being..or maybe forever.
Btw Phoenix OS is much the same as Remix OS.. but why Phoenix OS for PC doesn't have official XDA forum ?...

Thanks, I have some question about uninstallation of remix os.
Do you uninstall it just using the uninstaller.exe in the remix os folder? I have done the uninstallation and the auto time sync of my windows still doesn't work.
BTW, after i uninstall it, only data.img file and uninstaller.exe are still in the remix os folder. It is normal right?maybe?
Thanks, anyway!
Yes just use the uninstaller, the Uninstaller filer and the data.img stays in RemixOS folder, you can copy the data.img to somewhere if u want to install RemixOS again and reuse it. Or you just can delete the RemixOS Folder.

OK!! Got it!! Thanks!! My windows auto time sync still messed up though.
This worked for me.

Worked for me.
Anyway, Jide's engineers already said it will be fixed next build.

This happened to me too
What i did to fix time was to go into time/date settings. Windows 10. The PC settings metro style app and changed the sync switch from on to off then back to on for it sync time. Windows 10
Thnkas, i have tried it before, but it still says syncing error. I start yo think it's windows's problem.
Thanks anyway!

Check & start Windows Time service if its turned off (set startup type to automatic) try any time server provided by windows in time & date settings, reset windows firewall or any firewall. Also you can try restart router if using one or try any internet connection you can connect. If all failed, then there only one option..reset for Windows 10, or Format for any previous Windows.
other simple tricks to fix this is to set manual time on windows and on remix os or phoenix os or other android x86 project ( yes you read me, set it manual both on windows and android)

Already setting both of them in manual since this is the only way to at least make the time right. Thanks.
hey, i have a surface pro 3 triple booting windows 10, phoenix os, and kali linux. I have the same issue with the time being off every time I boot into Phoenix OS where it goes berzerk and I have to manually go back and change it. A quick fix that works for me is to click on the clock in the bottom right corner, click on date and time settings, under set time automatically, toggle the slider (off then back on). This sets the time back to normal on windows 10. I followed the registry fix tutorial and added a new value, but I didn't test if it works yet. I exported it to a file and attached it below so you guys can quickly import the change without having to navigate the registry yourself.
EDIT: I tried rebooting my computer into Phoenix OS and back into Windows 10 and the time seems to be consistent. The registry tweak seems to have helped. We need more people to confirm if this works for them or not.

OK! Thanks for the handy reg file!!
I have this time problem on both my tablet and laptop. After doing the registry tweak. No more time inconsistency in my tablet which is Android/windows 10 duel boot. Unfortunately, the tweak did not work on my laptop on which the Remix OS for PC is installed in USB flash drive and booting from windows boot menu. Time changes every time when switch (reboot) form Remix to windows. Any idea? thanks very much!

First the issues. I was not able to figure out how to set it up to where I can install Remix OS on my chromebook's SSD instead of having to use a USB stick. I also wasn't able to figure out why running the ISO installer tool that comes with the most recent download (yesterday) didn't work. I used it on a 32GB PNY USB flash drive, but after going into the legacy boot menu on my Chromebook, and selecting my USB stick to boot from, it was not able to find an operating system. Instead, I used Linux Live USB Creator (LiLi). I manually selected the Remix OS ISO that came with the download, and installed it to my USB stick. My chromebook recognized it immediately as a bootable OS. It even gave me the options for guest mode, and write mode. I chose write mode. The only downside to this is not being able to choose how large the partitions should be. Either way, it installed successfully.
The awesome parts. It recognized and works uniformly with my chromebook's touch screen and touch pad. Zero issues. It even recognizes some touch-pad short cuts like two-finger scrolling, etc. It doesn't recognize some of my keys on the keyboard itself, like volume up/down, and brightness up/down, but this is easily managed at the task bar. I also tested Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes to see if games would be sluggish running on a USB stick. I don't know about all games, but that one in particular ran as though it was on my Nexus 7. Super smoothly, with no issues. Aside from it being a bit sluggish running apps for the first time, (it frequently asked if I wanted to wait, or to force close Facebook and others - hitting wait works), I am very impressed with the experience. It's everything I could hope for in a beta android desktop OS! :good: :good:
PS, I'm actually running it right now as I type this.
I got it to install on my Acer R14 with a triple boot, windows 10, ubuntu, remix os. If you use universal usb installer and install directly to a NTFS partition on your hard drive you can use RMXtools to make the data .img whatever size you want. I did it for 50GB and have installed alot of apps and i still have 48GB left. I really like this OS.
Well I tried ubuntu on my chromebook for a while, but wasn't feeling it. I would have to put it on in order to install Remix OS to a hard drive no?
No just use universal usb installer and select non-linux installation and install directly to your ntfs drive. The expand the data file with RMXTools to whatever size you want.

Make your usb bootable with Rufus.
Been using it from USB for weeks now I'll try the Linux USB tool, would be amazing to get this running on the hdd. Does you're touchpad work??
Edit: just read it does work but hasn't for me, been needing my wireless mouse

Is it possible to boot a linux live usb and install remix os on the ssd with Gnome disks?
There has got to be some variation in components with revisions of the C720P, because no OS I have tried to boot on mine has supported the mouse other than Gallium. If I install the GalliumOS kernel on Debian it works fine, but no idea how I would do that with Android. Your touchpad really just worked huh? Not for me, not in the version of RemixOS I downloaded from the Jide site last night, nor in the hacked edition or whatever it's called here on XDA.
My laptop Asus X8AIJ very old since 2005.....

Hi there,
I have recently purchased the Windows Surface 3 and is attempting to load remix os alongside the existing windows os.
I have referred to numerous tutorials and suggestions to dual boot/load from usb. However, regardless of the method used, I am unable to select remix os during boot. The device boots straight to Windows 10 without allowing me the option to select the OS i would like to use. I already have secure boot disabled in UEFI and have attempted to install remix onto both ntfs and fat32 partitions, which did not yield any results thus far.
EDIT: I've solved the problem by disabling fast startup in windows. Hope this would help anyone who are facing the same problem.
How did you install that in your hard drive. Is there any partition that you have to make? What version oof the remix os have you installed on your Surface 3?

Hey there,
You could create a partition. Howver, I actually skipped that and installed it directly into my C drive (your Win10 OS is not affected). These are the things I've done in sequence to get it up and running.
1. Turn off encryption via Settings>System>About
2. Turn off fast startup (google this, its first in the list)
3. Turn off secure boot in UEFI
4. Download and install 64bit Remix OS
I'm using the latest marshmallow version. However, the touch screen does not seem to be working for me, while the type cover and its touchpad works. Do let me know if u manage to get it working somehow!
Hope this helped you.

I tried to install remix OS, following some instructions fr blogs and forums. Make Use Of suggests to replace some code with "INSTALL=2" and some other forum suggested to replace with "INSTALL=1 DEBUG=", I tried both and my laptop stook both times for hours with a screen like this. And when I removed the USB and. battery and restarted my laptop, remix OS was installed but all the partitions were deleted, I lost all my files, but the question is why did such a screen appears and why doesn't the OS installs as supposed?
