v2.4

Update Detection of RemixOS image

Fix UEFI Init Fail with Surface Pro devices

Please use RemixOS ver: B2016012301 or higher otherwise you will not get successful boot.
[Android Software Development] ExtremeGTX:
@ joeryru

@Gab1288

Please try installer v2.4 as it has very important fix to handle new RemixOS versions.

@ ac00995

I can't debug the problem right now as i don't have the same case, please report more info to help fixing this issue.

@ silentycj

I think there is something special about Chinese Windows i'm not aware of, I will try to fix this in the next version.

Still Black Screen by. Me.
[Android Software Development] Crimson88:
Installation was successful, I did boot into android. However after restarting, the option to boot to Android-OS is missing from Windows 10.

Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit

System Model: Acer Aspire R3-471T

Processor: Intel Core i5-5200U

I used android-x86_64-5.1-rc1.img to test the app, but I'm positive the error is related to Acer UEFI because I also have problems using grub2win.
[Android Software Development] Classpro:
Crimson88: I have an acer aspire switch with UEFI (secure boot disabled). I used easyuefi to set a boot entry, which works until I reboot. Something is erasing the entry as soon as I reboot. It may be the same problem you're having.
[Android Software Development] tasadar:
I am having black screen after installation with android x86 and Remix os also. Toshiba encore wt8 atom z3740
[Android Software Development] tasadar:
What I exactly mean is when I install Remix os the 1st time the OS boots and starts, but when I shut down and then try to run it 2nd time and etc the system shows the black screen. Like something is erasing after the installation and the 1st shutdown. Do you know what's causing this and how to fix it ?
[Android Software Development] shanx_verma:
Please help ... I am having Windows 7 x64, and have tried all options available on the internet for installing the Remix OS on the PC as a native dual-boot, using-

1. NeoGrub

2. Grub2Win

3. Grub4DOS.

Niothing seems to work. I'm on Normal Boot mode (Legacy). My laptop BIOS, however, does have the option to boot via UEFI. (But it's cumbersome to change it back to legacy, which I so often want for various reasons.)

I would be really greatfull if someone could redirect me to a working method to natively dual boot Remix with Windows 7 x64 using legacy boot mode (preferably),, or else provide with an option to switch the mode in runtime on Windows 7 . :'( :'( :( :angel:

Thank You so much in advance! :)
[Android Software Development] eugenioxx:
Working perfectly. I've made a partition of 20 gb NTFS, dowload the installer and the RemixOs.img version 2.0.101 of Feb 2nd 2016. I've selected the .img then the partition and the installer has done everything. After the installation successful I've clicked on restart holding the shift button. I've select Android-OS and It boots up in less than 1 minute. Everything ok also the storage of data.img is as I've set in the installer (15GB of 20 available).

To reboot to windows I've select reboot or shutdown and Windows is booting fine.

I've Windows 10 pro (with latest upgrade)

Bios is set in UEFI (I've use of course the .img of remix os in EFI)

Secur boot disable.

My laptop is HP with apu a8 + graphic R5 integrated.
[Android Software Development] ExtremeGTX:
After i google this problem, it's general issue with Acer EFI firmware.

Can you please try reinstall ? i can't reproduce the issue.

The old version of this installer may help you, but till now this version doesn't support Legacy-BIOS mode. [LINK].

Please use latest RemixOS version.

you will have to edit boot parameters in c:\menu.lst

AFAIK, Boot screen given by Windows 10 will always give you one time boot, if you want to change boot priority you have to use tools like easy uefi or goto BIOS setup and change boot priority.

I have the same behavior with my MSI motherboard. (which is normal)

A shortcut for "Reboot to Android" may be implemented in a future release.

Thanks for the info :)
[Android Software Development] joeryru:
:)in asrock uefi bios, when I booted up to Android-OS, windows boot manager will dissapear, but when I boot windows from grub Android-OS, windows boot manager will be back into uefi bios selection, and Android-OS dissapear (need to reenabled with easyuefi or grubforwin), in top of that, v2.4 :good::good: please add support to phoenix os too, since it use same base as androidx86:D
[Android Software Development] Gab1288:
I tested ver. 2.4 and i still have the same problem, install goes fine, but black screen after androidx86 detected.

-RemixOS 2Feb2016

-Android x86 5.1 rc1

I think it might be RemixOS/Android that just does not work on that chipset.

Hi There,

I have an issue installing AndroidOS-x86 on my Surface 3 (Non Pro). The android-x86-5.1-rc1.iso file installs fine (Installed on a new parition but does not boot) and because if does not boot, I was advised to try android-x86-6.0_20160129.iso.

The android-x86-6.0_20160129.iso fails to install on the same partition (deleted previous installation). I am using UEFIInstallerv24-5800 for installation.

Below is the log
[Android Software Development] devilsden:
Try "xforcevesa" or "nomodeset" (or both) parameter option for boot (edit grub.cfg)... it almost worked for me on my Surface 3 (not pro)...
[Android Software Development] Gab1288:
I tried, all i get is a blinking cursor after android x86 detected instead of a black screen
[Android Software Development] kanttii:
You have 32bit windows, what if you tried the 32bit eli remixos/android-x86 image? You're now trying 64bit image? I've had tons of problems with 32bit efi OS'es. UEFI kinda expects 64bit and they've done something hackish to make it work on 32bit, so that might be the reason!
[Android Software Development] tasadar:
Is there 32 bit efi version Remix os, i know about 32bit legacy one ? As far as I know there is not. If there is, please send a link ?
[Android Software Development] defacto:
I have an Unbranded 10.1 tablet (32bit UEFI) and I get the blinking cursor as well. I would also benefit from a link to a 32bit UEFI IMG if anyone can link it.

thanks
[Android Software Development] kanttii:
https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/remix-os-for-pc/TeiHH2J5_3Y

But I'm not sure if that's EFI compatible. I thought it was, but not sure anymore :(
[Android Software Development] tasadar:
That's legacy
[Android Software Development] Gab1288:
I tried the 32bit version you suggested even though it's legacy, it does pretty much the same, exept that 10 seconds into the black screen/blinking cursor, the tablet automatically reboots, which it didnt before on 64bit.

I should add that there is no difference on my tablet if i install a UEFI or Legacy image, they both install fine and are selectable from the Windows recovery menu or the Bios boot device selection screen.

Unfortunately, i have no way of testing if RemixOS or AndroidX86 even boots on that tablet since it pretty much ignores any usb drive that is not Windows 8.1/10 and skips to First "HDD".

I will keep testing new versions, maybe Android 6.0 will work on that chipset.

For some reason every time i restart my pc android entry will disappear from boot menu and i must add it again using easyUEFI.... does anybody know a fix for this? or a CLI app to add entry again without using easyUEFI?
[Android Software Development] electrikjesus:
For the 32 bit version, you are going to edit the grub.cfg to point to remix_x86 instead of remix_x86_64. That's why it rebooted the way it did.

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

There might be a check box selected that sets your entry to just run once. Look for it next time you add the efi entry

I am testing on ASUS flipbook(R554L I7 Processor) so far .ISO versions of 5.1- rc1 and 6.0 failed but the IMG verion of 5.1-rc1 installed just fine. It did a long time but I am installing it to a 456Gb partition. Here's the log readout of the .iso file failures.

http://pastebin.com/TRXaS5Sm

After much experimenting I have found that it depends on the build as to if it will boot, it has nothing to do with the file format. I have found that android-x86-6.0-20151202.iso loads(ironically dispite the fact it installs this rom does not boot even from a live usb image) android-x86-6.0_20160129.iso fails everytime. so as of right now it's just not good for the marshmallow test ROMs.
[Android Software Development] TheXorg:
The Intel Atom Z2760 is a 32bit / x86 cpu. Android x86 UEFI is for 64bit / x86_64 CPUs only. If you have UEFI, i'm afraid there is no way to boot android x86 at all.
[Android Software Development] bot42:
Try the old version of the installer, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2142563
[Android Software Development] bot42:
On my laptop here's what it worked with android-x86-4.4-r5 and Remix OS, here's what it did not work android-x86-6.0_20160129 and tiny64-cyanogenmod-liveusb-hynridBiosUefi. For these two that worked it made a huge difference having more then 4g of storage. but this allows you to have a huge storage partition making android as functional as any os. Thumbs up!
[Android Software Development] lalala111a:
okay so after clicking "clean up android" I realized that it didn't give 16.5 GB of data size back to the partition's free space

what's the problem? I just can't believe it!!!
[Android Software Development] bot42:
It does not erase or format.
[Android Software Development] ExtremeGTX:
Maybe the GUI need refresh after 'cleanup'

just change target partition to refresh free space

the cleanup action is:

- Delete AndroidOS folder

- Delete grub from EFI partition

- Delete the Boot Entry
[Android Software Development] ElfinJNoty:
I do agree the GUI would benefit from a little update. Last version I used still says it is in a trial period :)

hmm, I think the beta got a boot problem..
[Android Software Development] yairku:
Thank you very much for the tool!!

The installation succeeded on Asus s400ca laptop.

I try to manage the android partition from Ubuntu, but when I mount the partition on Ubuntu it is empty (no files in the folder I mounted to). I wonder if it is my misunderstanding of the way things work, or just that there is some problem with mounting. I know that the data is kept somewhere.
[Android Software Development] Gab1288:
IT WORKS!!!

Finally, i was able to boot RemixOS on my Asus M81C tablet. I used the new beta and i guess they fixed the problem with my chipset.

What does not work:

-Bluetooth

-Screen rotation, even if i force it.

-Sleep, the screen goes off and then back on again but no touch input. If i press power button, touch input comes back.

-Magnet flip case to turn off the screen. (edit: If i press power to turn it "off", i close the case and then open it, i hear the unlock sound, so it "works")

What works:

-Pretty much everything else.

I used installer v2.4 5800 as i always did, but now with the new RemisOS 64bit March release, it does the famous black screen but only for a second and then the Android X86 logo appears and the rest works fine.

Thank you so much for the installer, i always wanted android on my tablet.

Now i think the problems that i have are from RemixOS itself and will be fixed in the future releases, i can't wait!

1. With "android-x86-5.1-rc1" didn't work. Unable to boot

2. With Remix OS (latest March 1st UEFI 64 bit) didn't work. Unable to boot

3. With Remix OS (latest March 1st BIOS Legacy 32 bit) didn't work. Unable to boot (Expected so...)

So, for PiPO X8 there's no solution. I think because of its UEFI 32 bit version.

Any ideas?

How many options do you have in your Boot Menu?

Hi! Thanks so much! Worked perfectly on my Asus T100! Bad piggies, Netflix, Scratch Jr, Freddie Fish all working perfect! MUCH MUCH faster than Bluestacks!

I could only get it to install on c:\ drive though, which didn't leave much room for windows. The androidOS can access my d:\ drive SD card however for storage. I'm not sure if this version of android will allow me to move apps there?

I tried at first to install it on d:\ drive but that didn't work. Couldn't locate androidOS. I tried editing the grub file to point to d:\ but it didn't work :(

If anyone knows how to install on d:\ drive that would be WONDERFUL!
[Android Software Development] ElfinJNoty:
You have to select the drive to install to on the main screen of the windows application, right next to where you select the .IMG file to install.

Trying to move things around post install can get tricky because the installer creates entries in your EFI and MBR.
