Today i came across PhoenixOS in that they have given an exe file which lets us choose in between PenDrive or HDD(See
Image 1)
can anyone make this kind of exe file for remixos this is way too easy in dual booting from HDD without partitioning and erasing the HDD (See image 2) (I tried booting from HDD It was simple and easy and works perfectly).....

For now it is only for UEFI because it is in ALPHA version
This GUIDE was originally made for those with a 64-bit processor but 32-bit UEFI Windows installation. But it didn't work for any of them. However, those who don't like to make changes to their Windows Bootloader may follow this guide now, since this method enables you to use a CD or DVD too!
This guide is divided into two parts -
1. grub4dos guide using EasyBCD
2. Super GRUB2 Disk Guide
Using Super Grub2 Disk-
*Create a folder named "RemixOS" in the root directory of any of your partitions. If you had used the Official RemixOS Installation Tool before this guide, the directory may already be created. Important: Backup your data.img by moving to some other directory. Use UninstallRemixOS.exe to remove the current installtion.
1. Copy and paste the folder efi and the the following files from your RemixOS ISO to "RemixOS" folder you created earlier-
-initrd.img
-install.img
-kernel
-ramdisk.img
-system.img
*data.img, if you had installed RemixOS previously.
2. Now in the root of any of your partition, create a folder named grub2. Download the appropriate zip file from my this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/dual-boot-remixos-windows-usb-drive-t3324359/
3. Now, extract grub.cfg inside this zip to the grub2 you just created.
4. Download Super Grub2 Disk (CD & USB in one) 2.02s3 (ISO). If that doesn't work for you, you may try Super Grub2 Disk (Floppy, CD & USB in one) 2.02s3 [x86_64-efi] (ISO). Make a bootable USB of the ISO you downloaded or if you have a CD-Drive, you may burn the ISO to a CD and boot from it too!
*See second post for downloads and How to make bootable USB and boot RemixOS.
Recommended download (Floppy, CD & USB in one) (Valid for i386, x86_64, and x86_64-efi):
Super Grub2 Disk (CD & USB in one) 2.02s3 (ISO)
CD & USB version, (valid for x86_64-efi only):
Super Grub2 Disk (Floppy, CD & USB in one) 2.02s3 [x86_64-efi] (ISO)
How to make bootable USB:
1. Download Rufus. Rufus 2.7
2. Run it.
3. Select Device as your USB drive. Partition scheme and target system type as MBR partition scheme for UEFI. File system as FAT32. Under Format Options, create a bootable disk using ISO Image. Click the CD-ROM icon to browse the ISO file. Select ISO image as the one you downloaded. (If it changes to DD Image, don't worry. Proceed anyway). Click on Start.
4. Close application and restart Windows after your USB is ready. Boot from USB. (Key to enter Boot Options Menu is usually Esc or F12)
5. In boot menu, select Detect and show boot methods.
6. After you enter, choose RemixOS - Resident Mode.

When trying to flash the ISO image it won't let me change it to mbr for uefi. Instead it changes the image type from ISO to DD. After flashing it that way the drive won't boot. I went to the super grub website and redownloaded the image from there, but it was indeed the same ISO and it did the same thing.

Try using another pendrive. Or if your bios supports booting efi files, try that.

Post Updated. Check first post-
1. Hybrid ISO link added.
2. EFI file link removed.
I have tried with 2 different USB/Pen Drives either way it will not boot to the the grub/USB/device when selected. Would we not need a x86_32-efi grub or equivalent to make this work? not the x86_64-efi version?

Yes, and in both cases I booted F12 and pointed it (Dell Venue 8 Pro Tablet) to the USB drives (again tried 2 different) and both times it just skipped the USB drive and went into windows 10.... I am open to more ideas if you have any?

Maybe the tablet lacks support for booting the ISO...

I have the same problem as you... Last I tried was trying to format the USB with different partition scheme etc.. ended up with a non-working USB stick that won't format anymore. Guess RemixOS on 32bit UEFI is a lost case.. maybe I'll try cloudready instead.

The same here. Tested with 2 different usb sticks and different combinations, they just don't boot.
For the guy with the corrupted usb stick, try this:
winkey + r
cmd
diskpart
list disk
select disk * ('*' as the number of your pendrive)
list partition
clean
list partition
create partition primary
list partition
format fs=fat32 quick
list partition
exit
In the OP, I've mentioned URL to a new thread by @TP4LG (maybe he has been able to achieve something)
You may try that
Update : Thread title changed. It is confirmed that this guide doesn't work for 32-bit UEFI users.

Ok i used the installer to install Remix OS for PC beta and it installed fine but keeps freezing. But the question is now how to uninstall it and restore my boot menu to stop showing remix os?
Running windows 10 pro
thanks
Look inside the RemixOS folder (on the drive where you installed it)
There is a filed called....guess what...."UninstallRemixOS.exe"
Play around with that....
Thank you Good Sir
Same question here.... unfortunately when I boot into Windows and click on the Remix Folder I get "Remix OS is not accessible. Directory is corrupted and unreadible".
I tried installing the OS again using the tools provided but with no luck. Grateful for any help!
FYI, I managed to boot my pc into safe mode and it allowed me to delete the Remix OS folder. It's still showing as an option at boot but I'm sure I'll be able to get rid of that with a bit of research.

1 - Run Command Prompt as an Admin.
2- Type bcdedit and press Enter.
3- Look for the section that has Remix OS listed (most likely under Real-mode Boot Sector).
4- Copy the Identifier for the Remix OS listing including the brackets.
5- Type bcdedit /delete, paste the Identifier and press Enter.
6- If you want, type bcdedit again to confirm that it's gone.
7- Reboot your PC.
I hope this helps. Enjoy!

I had a similar problem when I installed on my hard drive and it got corrupted somehow. I had to boot into safe mode, navigate to the Remix OS feet and manually delete. So if you can see he folder on your thumb drive, that might work.

Download something called "USB Disk Storage Format Tool", run as administrator, specify name, file system etc. and click Format. It will detect maximum storage of your thumbdrive and format it to (in your case) 16GB.
To clarify, can I only install this from an existing operating system on a separate partition? Can I not install this on a blank laptop using a bootable USB installer? Or a setup DVD?
I can't find anywhere that actually tells me this information. I just want to create a bootable USB stick that I can install Remix OS from on to my blank laptop. This may or may not be a silly question, I'm sure the internet will inform me one way or the other.

Post "How to install Remix OS in VirtualBox (or to harddisk)" tells you how to create an USB stick for installation of Remix OS beta on an empty hdd. The hdd must be formatted in a first step using GParted or by an Ubuntu USB stick which you can use too in order to perform Linux operations.

I have a Asus t100 I'm trying to install remix os on without a windows os. I used pmagic since I'm not that good at coding, I tried coping all the files from release_Remix_OS_for_PC_32-bit_Beta_Version_Package
to a new partition then when I try to boot from it my computer just goes straight to bios because theres nothing to boot. I also tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/how-to-install-remix-os-virtualbox-to-t3301160 with no luck can someone help me I just want remix os installed on this computer with no other OS
Asus T100 uses Intel Atom Z3740, a 64bit processor. So use the 64-bit version of Remix OS. The 64-bit version of Remix OS also has UEFI, which makes making the drive easier, and booting faster. Make the bootable USB as per instructions, and disable secure boot in your BIOS. You should then be able to boot from the USB.
it won't work. T100 has 64bit processor but a 32bit system

Ok I just did it so, here is how I did it. Use gparted, from gparted.org, booted up, partitioned, small 500MB FAT32 formated partition, second partition EXT4 the rest, 58GB+. Then took 32bit beta using JIDE's tool to put on a USB stick. Booted the stick and when it came up, entered e, to enter grub boot config. On the second line removed the part after and put INSTALL=1. Installed android to the larger partition, then installed grub, grub efi, formated, then rebooted. Side loaded google services from this forum and it works. Bugs, biggest issue is no audio. Let me know if you have any luck.

From windows:
1) Dowmload and unpack RMX installer everywere you want (you will have a folder called RMX installer).
2) enter on RMX installer folder and execute the .EXE file.
3) Browse for the Remix OS .ISO file (use the 64 bits one, works like a charm for me )and choose the Data size (will create the data.img file).
4) disable secure boot and fast boot in your BIOS.
5) Boot and you will see the grub menu with Remix OS and Windows options.

OK but Asus t100 only uses 32bit which isn't a problem. And I don't have windows on it I have anot her computer that has windows on it but the Asus t100 has no OS at the moment I'm trying to install remix on it without installing windows so if the RMX Installer only works with a Windows installed then I have no use for it
Yes I'm having the same problem, with the new T100 that has both OS and CPU 64 bit.
The thing is, whatever you do grub won't detect either an external SD card or the keyboard dock's HDD as a boot option. They don't even show up in BIOS ! The only possibility seems to be booting from internal storage, which is too limited to dual boot Windows + Remix OS.
Anyone has tips for this ?
Thanks
