Chrome os flex does not support arm processors currently, though you can run it emulated.
It is not open source so you can't compile it for arm

is there steps on how to do this?
Also
My Windows 10 cant detect the galaxy tab n8000
Even though the device start charging power from the usb when connecting it…
Installed Samsung usb drive
But still no detention…

you can emulate x86 architecture in the limbo frontend for qemu. it's on f-droid. make sure you are not using a power only cable (cheapo chinese ones usually are)

Maybe some info in the Chromebook forum:
Google announces Chrome OS Flex: Easily turn your PC or Mac into a Chromebook

Didn’t thought that the cable could be for power only

Read the description of the video.

Attaching any USB peripheral requires the device to have USB On-The-Go (OTG) support. A lot of the newer (and high-end) devices have this, but yours does not. So it's not possible. It's not just a simple software mod. USB OTG requires the device to have a USB port that's capable of delivering power output to power low power USB peripherals like keyboards, mice, flash drives. For that same reason, in the video it is mentioned that only low power webcams work. It's at the hardware level, so no it won't be possible with your phone at all.

Yes you're right, your device does indeed have full OTG support. Sony never mentioned it in the official specifications, but I did a search in your device's forum and found info about it. In that case, I guess the procedure to getting the webcam to work is more hardware specific, so can't say whether it can or cannot work with your device. Your best bet is to ask a dev for your device about it, and see if they're interested to look into it. Also, the guy in the video said only low power webcams work. This is because the USB port can't deliver that much power output.
Having USB Host mode and even a powered USB hub is not enough to use a USB webcam.
You need kernel support and a custom app that accesses video4linux interface (/dev/videoX) OR a patched android framework that routes video4linux interface to android's standard camera API.
In other words, you must be able to modify and compile your own kernel and custom ROM for your particular device.

You can't just edit the boot.img, you have to edit the source and then compile it. Either learn how to program etc. Or ask a developer for your device to have a look.

I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V running Lupus kernel and FXP152 (CM10) ROM. My phone's specification says it supports USB OTG. How can I get this feature?
Also, I am unable to use USB Mass storage mode. Its disabled for some reason. Can anyone explain?

hi dear
for your broblem
first of all you must buy a cable that mach your phone port
second your phone must be unlock and root
third you must use modules that is with kernel (flash with CMW) and then install ModuleLoader.apk and select the modules you installed
then you must install a app (like stickmount.apk) to mount the usb you attached
you can found apps in apknew site
may this help you

hello dear
I sow that page but I've no idea why you cant see the drive in your computer
first of all you must ENABLE your USB debuging from your device
and make sure you have installed your phones driver in your computer
maybe your phone is in MTA mode so you can see your drive under your phones name in camputer
and make sure your cable is working fine.
may this helpfull

Yes, I had enable mass_storage in buil.prop file before flashing that zip. Actually it used to work in FXP 148. But now am on FXp 152 ROm, and now that patch is not working.
I have USB device drivers for my phone from some other path. But thats not getting identified by driver update.
Currently, my phone gets identified in MTP mode in Device Manger, but no drivers installed (shows as yellow question mark).

What features would you most like to see in Remix OS?

Remix OS has now entered Beta and supports OTA updates. Since the dev team are active here let's help them out! What features would you love to see on Remix in future updates?

HDMI audio.
Ability to quick access files on Windows hard drive
Broadcom WiFi support. More quick settings in notification panel. Battery stats time remaining.

Tutorial for installing inside virtualbox or Qemu. Qemu would be better.
Allow installation direct from ISO onto Hypervisors - Qemu, Virtualbox, VMWare, Hyper-V, etc instead of needing to dump onto USB stick.
Support vga for second monitor
Screen recorder
Updating all of their devices to Android Marshmallow!!

Why do you need to dump to USB first? ISO runs fine in VBox.
support for tincore keymapper style overlay apps, or better yet build in a keymapper into remix.

You can't persist data running from the ISO directly.
I want to install it on VMWare workstation !
I know it probably wont happen but xposed for android desktop would be bloody awesome!
How about liveDVD?
Booting from liveDVD, just like Linux distros do it.
I beg you, add this feature.
My BIOS is not detecting any pendrives plugged into USB 3.0 ports, which are needed to boot this OS up.
(It's detected in USB 2.0, but it's too slow, only 4,5MB/s writing speed. The funny thing is that both ports - 2.0 and 3.0 - can be used by Win7 and Linux Mint that I have installed, no problem with that at all. It's just my BIOS that hates me.)
I just want to put a DVD Disc with RemixOS on it and try it out.
This would be a killer feature, since many ppl end up having problems with their pendrives/partitions/usb2.0/usb3.0/bios settings...
My Wishlist!
Most Importantly, the possibility of opening, and (just emphasis, no yelling here :angel: ) MAKING CHANGES TO files in the windows-formatted partitions (R/W mode) , HDMI Audio, Better driver support for both WiFi adapters as well as Graphics Cards (NVIDIA to be precise (like my 610M )), XPOSED, and a custom-recovery-like interface with apt functionalities.
An own web browser, maybe a Chromium fork (which is optimized for the desktop) that has the default setting to load desktop pages (there is no way to set this as default on Chrome), accepts right-clicks and shows a popup, etc.
But so far I haven't been able to even get RemixOS to boot on my Laptop (Nvidia GT-540M), although I have a Remix Mini (2GB) which I use regularly, so driver support is definitely #1 for me.
Is dual monitors supported yet? If not, than dual monitor support

Yoga book dual boot for windows and android versions

AS WE ALL KNOW THAT YOGA BOOK CAME WITH WINDOWS OR ANDROID BUT NONE OF THEM CAME WITH DUALBOOTING OPTION SO HOW COULD WE BOOT BOTH OF THEM (ANDROID AND WINDWS) ON OUR DEVICE; WELL THERE IS A LOT OF DEVICES SUPPORT DUAL BOOTING LIKE CHUWI.
SO HERE IS THE TUTORIAL
http://forum.chuwi.com/thread-2254-1-1.html
SO I THINK THIS TUTORIAL FR CHUWI 10 PLUS WILL HELP US AS YOGA BOOK USERS (WIN AND ANDROID) FOR DUAL BOOTING
I DIDNT TRY IT YET, BUT IAM SURE ITS WORKING
WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER GUYS TO MAKE THIS DREAM CAME TRUE
Good Luck. Hope you enjoy your exclusive cutting board afterwards. :fingers-crossed:
Honestly, it doesn't really help because they use a custom bios, which we don' t have and won't jave without any experienced developer around here. And if I'm not mistaken, it has been designed for dual boot even before.
Chuwi uses an AMI Bios...
Lenovo two DIFFERENT Insyde bios'es. Furthermore, it looks like the Android Version Bios is not even from Insyde...

Cool, but nor the Windows nor Android Bios'es are made for InsydeQ2S. Lenovo uses a custom made BIOS...
Folks, Lenovo used on purpose different bios'es. The Android Version will never understand ACPI, UEFI, Bitlock etc... it's cropped EEPROM is just not meant for it. I know it's a frustration, but it won't happen. The Windows Version will "maybe" be able to load some kind of x86 Android, but what about display, halo, wifi, anypen, wacom, dolby etc drivers?

i don't have device in my hands now
but i have a little hope
at least we can boot windows or android from USB/microSD
hmm
for windows version it must be easy
we can keep windows on primary disk
and install android on external drive
* :|||| then how this s**t can boot it?
hmm, we need to disable secure boot
then add grub to bcd with easybcd
* :\ android need system/boot/data/cache... !!
yep, we need to partition usb drive like official android disk
same sizes for system, cache, ...
not userdata
then we need to edit ramdisk
we need to edit fstab(and init.r2_cht_ffd.rc) to mount system and other partitions from /dev/sdb(c) [instead of /dev/block/by-name/]
* what about other partitions like keymaster?
i'm not sure it's needed but we can symlink it on init scripts
but for android version i'm not sure what i have to do
first i downloaded android firmware zip and there was file called "bootloader"
Code:
/Volumes/ExFAT 1/YB1-X90L_USR_S000155_1609272258_WW06_BP_ROW-flashfiles/bootloader: DOS/MBR boot sector, code offset 0x3c+2, OEM-ID "mkfs.fat", sectors/cluster 4, root entries 512, Media descriptor 0xf8, sectors/FAT 200, sectors/track 32, heads 64, sectors 204800 (volumes > 32 MB) , serial number 0x786ce839, label: "ANDROIDIA ", FAT (16 bit)
so it's fat image
and i was able to mount it
BINGO
volume label is ANDROIDIA just like what i saw in chawe boot option photos in OP guide
well on bootloader i can see \EFI\BOOT\bootx64.efi
:good: :good: :good:
now i'm sure android version yoga can also boot (any)efi file
* but who dare to touch it?
noone, we have tool called efidroid : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/efidroid-t3447466
this guy can boot efi files for us
someone have to port efidroid for yoga (thats why i asked for device tree on TWRP thread)
now we need windows boot manager efi files (uefi boot partition) and windows system files to boot windows
ok, i'm not sure how to install windows on usb at this stage
but for example we can boot windows setup usb
(we need to find a way)
like install windows by virtualbox with PC on USB, then try to boot it on yoga (not sure)
or took backup of windows version and restore on USB :\

Hi guys!
So I just got an Android YogaBook and the "bios" (actually UEFI) is a standard Intel made UEFI loaded with tons of options.
Android is loaded as any standard UEFI OS using a bootloader called KernelFlinger.
This means that we can boot Android, Linux, Windows and in theory also macOS (LOL).
I'll try to install Windows in the next few days, should not be hard (except for finding and usb adapter LOL) and will report back
P.s. I believe the Windows version uses the same UEFI but is locked in a user friendly "basic mode". This makes sense as they are supposed to be able to get into the UEFI while we're not

Where do I get `Mocor5 File Transfer`? The OS on the Qin 1s+ is called `Mocor5` right? I can't find any information on a file transfer program for Mac.
Any information would be appreciated! Thank you.

What exactly do you mean by "toned down"? I still haven't figured this out. If I could find an image of the OS that would be a great start, but I still would like to know what Mocor5 File Transfer was? It's a file transfer program, but I've never heard of it.
Thank you!
I don't own a mac so I can't answer thought question.
But mocor 5 is a os built on Android 4 and it's designed specially for spreadtrum devices that have buttons.

Okay, do you know where I can DL *any* type of image for it? I'd like to find that and mess around with it. I searched `Mocor 5` and didn't find a single page.
Here you go! This is the fdl for xiaomi (duoqin) qin 1 s plus but it's very similar so try it.

Amlogic S905x x96 bricked: red light, no windows box, no reset button

Hi, I've bricked my x96 (2G ram, 16G rom) box, the reset button isn't working and I don't have a windows machine to use aml burning tool, I've been playing with the linux versions of the tools but with no luck, I can't put my box in "burn mode", someone has any similar experience with this box?
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
I have a macbook and a raspberry, tried to run virtualbox with linux on the mac but it couldn't see the attached usb device (don't know if it's related to having everything connected through an usb c hub and my lack of knowledge).
The raspie detected the tv box but not in burn mode and I cannot put it in that mode.
Should I try again with a virtualbox windows image? should I throw the box?

You are 100% right. I'll make a windows vm and see if can make some magic
These boxes are generally quite resistant, what about bootcamp on your mac?, used to have a small partition on my imac that had windows dual boot, it has official apple drivers for windows and is available to download via apple

Would have best chance of working as things will be native like USB rather than emulated

Didn't have any luck with virtualbox vm, didn't detect anything, but my mac also can see the device... but when I try to run the linux amlogic utilities, they say that there is no amlogic device connected (I guess is something related to different device paths between mac and linux).
Resuming: The board is detected, but I can't put it in burn mode... maybe I should give up this time for a while... after covid, maybe I can get someones windows pc...
Hopefully get it sorted
