feel free to contact me
if you have any questions or
if I am doing anything wrong.
Please leave a "Thanks!" if it helped!
To start, some background: The first thing I did when I got my Encore was find a way to install a clean copy of Windows 8.1 without all the bloatware. I removed all the partitions and let Windows Setup repartition the drive. I did this again when Windows 10 went RTM. This gave me a much larger C: drive than stock, and if you haven't repartitioned your drive then a considerable amount of space is probably being taken up by a recovery partition.
I have tried several different installation methods for RemixOS. If I installed it on the primary partition "C:" then I couldn't find a way to boot it. I tried messing with the BCD and UEFI with various tools to try to get it to show as a boot option in the Windows bootloader, but it didn't work (either I couldn't get it to show up, or it did but thought it was Windows and failed to boot). Because it is 32-bit UEFI I couldn't use EasyBCD + Neogrub. The installer that comes with Remix doesn't do anything notable on this machine (it does add boot options, apparently, but they never display). One problem with this device is that even if you add something to the UEFI boot menu, when you go to the boot menu you will still see only 2 options, even if the entries are there: the SSD and the USB drive. Eventually I found a way to install it by shrinking my C: drive partition and creating a FAT32 partition. This is one of the more popular options right now, but it has some drawbacks when your total storage is only 29GB (or less) when formatted. The biggest drawback is that you are limited to a data.img of 4GB because that is the biggest file size FAT32 supports. Finally today I found what is, to me, the best option for this device and it may work well on similar devices with 32-bit UEFI. After completion you will have a tablet that can dual boot with a simple menu that doesn't require you to make a lot of selections on boot to get to your OS, you will still only have one large partition, and you can have a data.img of 8GB or more.
Eventually this process will probably be streamlined a little more as RemixOS progresses. Maybe they will provide a boot menu option that works with their installer. If not, if I can find a way to install the bootloader that the Androidx86 puts on there I will just do that and skip the installation of Androidx86 altogether. If I can figure out a way to add RemixOS to the Windows bootloader that actually works, I will do that (and I mean properly, right under Windows, not hidden away as an optional boot device).
This process borrows heavily from this page, so credit is largely due to Nirmal Sarkar for handing me the keys. I will also be resharing his download links, or some of them.
Prep:
1. Download RemixOS, obviously--I got the normal 64-bit UEFI download, it works fine. You can also grab the one from the deodexed/pre-rooted thread, it also works
2. Download and install 7-Zip
3. Download and install EasyUEFI
4. Download the Androidx86 Installer
5. Download the Androidx86 ISO
6. Disable secureboot
Install:
1. Extract the RemixOS ISO from the zip
2. Open the Androidx86 Installer and select the Androidx86 ISO
3. Install Androidx86 to C:, choose your data.img size; if you already have a Remix data.img then make it small so it takes less time to install and then delete it and replace it with your Remix data.img later
4. Open the folder C:\AndroidOS\ and delete "system.sfs"
5. Run 7-Zip and open the RemixOS ISO, then extract "initrd.img", "kernel", "ramdisk.img" and "system.img" to C:\AndroidOS\ and overwrite the files that are there
6. Go to "C:" and rename the folder "AndroidOS" to "RemixOS"
7. Save the following as a text file named "grub.cfg"
Code:
set timeout=5
menuentry 'Windows' {
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
chainloader (${root})/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
menuentry 'RemixOS' --class android-x86 {
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /RemixOS/system.img
linux /RemixOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet DATA=/RemixOS
initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img
}
then move it to the root of your C: drive so that you have "c:\grub.cfg"--you will need to approve a UAC prompt for admin rights to do this since C: is protected (If you want Remix to be the first option, cut the code for the Windows menuentry and paste it below Remix--and if that instruction doesn't make sense to you you probably don't wanna mess with it)
8. Open a command prompt with admin rights and type the following commands:
Code:
mountvol b: /s
b:
cd efi
cd android
copy c:\grub.cfg grub.cfg
and press "y" to confirm
9. Open EasyUEFI--you should see an entry for Android-OS--move it to the top of the boot order
Now you're done. Reboot. You should see the grub boot menu. Press vol+ key to select Remix and Home/Windows key to boot it.
First of all thanks for the guide. Worked like a charm.
But wanted to ask you if you have sound working on your tablet. I've been having this problem since the beginning of remixOS.

No, no sound or screen rotation. No sound on any version of Android based on Android-x86 (I've been playing around a lot the last week with different builds), and the with the versions where screen rotation works it's buggy. Hopefully now that Remix has infused vigor into the Android-x86 community the issue will be solved soon in a future build.
It is a lot easier then that.
Just use http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/winapp-android-x86-installer-uefi-t3222483
That didn't support Remix when I made the tutorial. I'm not sure it still works 100% with the Encore. I saw someone made a new tool here just for installing Remix, but I haven't tried it yet.
How is the performance when install on the HD? I have the encore2 10'' and I tried USB install, performance is really bad. I wanted to know if the browsing experience / reading experience is better with android, Windows 10 is not really thought for touch screens.
Hi all,
Just to give you news of a almost perfectly ROM working on this table.

What you can try is the following:
- Boot up from the Windows 10 installation DVD
- Select your language and keyboard, click on Next
- Click on "Repair your computer"
- Click on "Continue" (this will only work if the Windows installation DVD recognizes your Windows 10 installation)
Windows 10 will now be booted from the installation DVD
Now do the following:
- Download EasyBCD
- Open up EasyBCD and click on "Add New Entry"
- Click on the Windows tab and select your Windows version in the "Type: " box
- Give your new boot entry a name like "Windows 10"
- Select the proper drive where Windows 10 is installed
- Click on "Add Entry"
Congratulations, you just added the Windows 10 boot entry again!
Thanks for your answer. i repaired with console administration from windows installation.

Already booted it with win 10 pro..and fixed every issue..still thanks for the replay
I have successfully installed Remix OS on my Acer Switch Alpha 12 with dual boot Win 10 and Remix OS and most of the things work great. Can anyone here share a guide on how to change the default boot up to Windows 10 instead of Remix OS as per the attached screen capture and possible to shorten the waiting time from 30 seconds to 3 seconds maybe. I have tried to edit it from Windows 10 as per attached screen capture but there show only Windows 10 and no Remix OS.
Use EasyBCD application in Windows
I tried EasyBCD and in UEFI mode but I didn't proceed further as I got this error
"EFI Bootloader Detected!
EasyBCD has detected that your machine is currently booting in EFI mode. Due to limitations set by Microsoft, many of EasyBCD’s multi-booting features cannot be used in EFI mode and have been disabled."
Not sure if safe to proceed, but all advise is most welcome...
Okay... I don't own a UEFI machine to trial so lets try another way. Open start menu in windows and in search enter 'msconfig' then enter. A small windows will open showing you boot option. Choose Windows 10 and set it default. Then reboot to see the results.

Try something and tell me what is the result:
Hold the mouse pointer over the window on lower left of screen
Right-click and select the option Command Prompt (Admin)
Allow the command prompt
At the next screen type: mountvol x: /s
If you do not receive an error message then type: cd x:\
If you see a prompt with X:\> then we can continue from there; post what you found

Hi,
I can mount X: as per your guide and can access to X:\ by typing "x:" but not "cd x:". However, I have already mapped my network drive on to X:\. Is this ok?
Well since you are already using X then try again using another letter such as Z

I just went through this process this week. I had the same question as you, and did alot of experimentation to get the solution. This is how it works on my system (Lenovo tablet, Windows 10 Pro, Remix OS, dual boot using Grub boot loader).
Okay, ignore what you've done so far.
Assume we have a first-time installation of Remix OS.
My instructions will only help you in this situation.
I can't really correct any experiments you may have done after that.
1) When the Remix OS installation tool tells you to reboot, don't do it. Just exit it, and restart after we finish the steps below.
2) Open command prompt as an Administrator.
3) Mount your boot partition by following these instructions. I think you may have had problems with past advice because it is not so clear. This tutorial has clear steps:
Code:
http://linuxbsdos.com/2015/09/05/how-to-delete-grub-files-from-a-boot-efi-partition-in-windows-10/
4) Navigate to the following folder (change drive letter "Z:" to whatever you used to mount the boot drive):
Code:
Z:\Boot\Grub\
5) Edit the file "grub.cfg"
6) To set a default OS, that the Grub boot loader always highlights:
- Search grub.cfg and ensure the entry menuentry 'Windows' is above menuentry 'Remix OS'.
- This basically indicates that Windows is the first option in the boot menu, and Remix OS is second.
- Search grub.cfg and find the entry set default="${saved_entry}"
- Replace it with set default=0
- This basically tells the Grub boot loader to highlight the top entry (Windows) everytime it starts.
7) To change the countdown timer, that the Grub boot loader uses:
- Search grub.cfg for set timeout=
- Replace it with set timeout=3 (you can change "3" to whatever countdown number you like)
8) OPTIONAL! To set the default OS to repeat whatever was last selected:
- Suppose in the future, you want the the Grub boot loader to automatically highlight whatever OS was selected last.
- In my situation, the Remix OS installation tool has a glitch where it makes "Remix OS" automatically selected every startup.
- To correct this, repeat all the actions to mount the boot drive & edit the grub.cg file (see "6)" instructions).
- Search grub.cfg for menuentry 'Windows'
- In the line under it, add the text: savedefault
- Search grub.cfg for menuentry 'Remix OS'
- Ensure that somewhere in the lines below, the text savedefault exists. If not, add it manually.
- The problem, in my situation, was that the Remix OS installation tool only added "savedefault" to the Remix OS entry...and not the Windows entry. By adding that line to both OS's, the Grub bootloader can properly tell which OS was selected last & choose it for you on startup.
piece of cake. modify this on your Grub line
set default="${savedefault}" <--------change to this
function savedefault {
saved_entry="${chosen}"
save_env saved_entry
menuentry 'Windows 10' --class windows {
savedefault <-----------Add this(Tells it to always highlight Windows)
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /EFI/MICROSOFT/BOOT/BOOTMGFW.EFI
chainloader (${root})/EFI/MICROSOFT/BOOT/BOOTMGFW.EFI
Go to the RemixOS line and remove savedefault from that line and done. Now it will always boot with Windows highlighted
set timeout=30 <---------Modify 30 to whatever youd like for Timeout
I made a batch file for Easy Mounting of the EFI partition. It's set up to use drive Z, so if you have a drive Z already, modify my batch file to use whatever drive you'd like. Extract and run as Admin

1: Create your own installation media
2: The steps necessary to remove the "Secure Boot" and "TPM 2.0" requirements error when attempting to install Windows 11
3: Obtain the newest available Windows 10 ISO from Micro$0ft;
Already have made your Windows 11 USB Installer using Rufus;
Mount Windows 10 ISO;
Find and locate the folder named Sources on the mounted ISO;
Copy all of the files in the Sources folder of the mounted ISO except for install.wim/install.esd;
Navigate to the Windows 11 bootable USB Installer that you have previously created in your File Manager;
Open the Sources folder on the Windows 11 bootable USB Installer;
Paste the previously copied contents/files from the Sources folder on the mounted Win 10 ISO to the Sources folder of the Windows 11 bootable USB Installer, and make sure to replace the files present in the Windows 11 USB Installer Sources folder;
Boot from Windows 11 USB Installer;
Profit from not having the requirements of Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 being enabled in place.
For more deatils hereis detailed tutorial. Link.
Interesting. Has anyone actually tried this method with success?
I'll give it a try
I remember very similar pains when Windows 10 first released. I think everything will be fine for the most part as long as your machine can run Windows 10. Not much is different between the two.
Thank you thank you thank you I thought I was screwed too I've got an old optiplex 790 with a Intel i5 4 series and I just booted all I did was change the registry through the BIOS on the front end during the install which means I made the ISO file for USB UEFI boot I got the error saying that my machine hardware was not suitable for Windows 11 so I hit shift and F10 to command prompt and entered notepad because I already copied the registry into a text document that's accessible from the file menu in the notepad never done that before and that was pretty cool..copied it and then went back to the command prompt and went to the regedit.exe... copy what I had on the the text document into the actual local registry and then started the install process all over and Golden... I had to actually download the ISO file from Android host file of all places checksum good worked out everything's even better when I can beat the status quo

Yes. I did it pretty much the same but unpacked/repacked install.wim, and renamed to install.esd with just the target version.
TPM 1.2 I never enabled secure boot and it's a 6th gen. Windows update is being a sore loser.
You may need to edit the registry after. Lookin' around myself.
