Remix ROM

I've had my Teclast X16 Power for a couple of months now and very rarely boot into Windows 10 as I already own a Lenovo laptop and Desktop running Windows 10.

I recently purchased the Remix Ultra Tablet after testing the OS through a Remix Mini connected to my LCD TV.

I totally Love the Remix OS compared to existing Android ROMs.

I bought the Teclast very cheap on ebay (a lot less than I paid for the Remit tablet). Seems to me the Teclast X16 Power would make a Fantastic Remix tablet giving its 8GB of Ram and 64GB Emmc.

How would I wipe the Teclast tablet and reformat the HD to a single partition and install Remis OS 2.0?

Any Help would be Greatly Appreciated.

Hi, no problem but why not you moded the last version it's just a question I'm very interesting by your custom rom for my X16 power because the battery drained a lot in sleep mode and I think the 8 gb of ram wasn't used plenty by system.
[Windows 8 General] DenisAllex:
First of all i think that more the fixes at once - more chances this rom can't even boot (don't forget i can't even test it). so i prefer to move step-by-step instead trying to make no-chance attempt to apply all fixes at once.

Also v5 wasn't released at the time my mod was made.

Android-x86 is great option but i can't help because lack of hardware, Remix OS is even better option, but there sources problem adding to above.

I will definitely try your work and give you update.Thanks !!!

I'm reading Mireks original post and I've noticed that to keep windows he made a script to flash only android and windows will be kept untouched – Flash ROM.json.

Is this is similar to choosing option 1 or 2 in flash.bat to avoid deleting windows?

My concern is to remain windows untouched.
[Windows 8 General] DenisAllex:
Flash ROM.json in Mirek archive is just for an alternative method of install his rom (for those who prefere use MFT and chinese archive look at p.s. in my post. The main method of install Mirek mods as for now - is flasher.bat as well as for my mod.

So yes option 1 and 2 keep windows partitions untouched, option 1 isn't recommended through it also keep Android data partition untouched that can leads to instability of rom.

BUT the mod isn't tested, so if you really afraid to lose data (or your own time to reinstall win) on your windows partition you shouldn't experiment. I can't guarantee anything for now.
[Windows 8 General] styropian:
No I'm not afraid of messing around ,actually that will be good time for me to test my backups done with clonzilla.

My question to you will be what makes you to work on this custom rom without having x16pro or power.

Perhaps you want help as out to get the solid android.
[Windows 8 General] DenisAllex:
I had X16 Pro working sometimes ago, but it's bricked now due to some bios settings experiments (trying to disable turboboost and tune other settings to reduce heating - tablet was intended for undemanding tasks but for more then 10h continuous use everyday) and even disassembly and chinese SPI flasher + chip clip didn't help because this chinese clip is just a crap.

So I found myself in rather frustrating situation since I bought this tablet as a present to one of my relatives and tablet is dead now.

I started my mod before tablet failure (I started even before it was delivered), so even after such mess i decided to finish mod and make it public, if you mean this - yes it can be said i wanted "help as out to get the solid android".
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
I'm in contact with OKQI AliExpress Seller and they will provide me a full working BIOS image so that you can flash it without any issue. I have asked for an updated version, so there might be also some fixes too.
[Windows 8 General] styropian:
Thanks for your mod.I will definitely come back with results maybe even this weekend.
[Windows 8 General] styropian:
ok, Good News !!!

Choosing option 2 I did update your mod and Have access to win10.

All looks ok.I need more testing but wifi , blootooth and android responds just fine.

Good work.I hope more people will try and give you feed back and we will make this Chinese hardware usable like Mireks or even better with your help and others.

Cheers lets have a drink. GOOD Work___ DenisAllex !!!!
[Windows 8 General] DenisAllex:
Oh, at least one person tested my mod (great progress...). Thanks styropian. As I promised earlier I uploaded v2 of my mod based on Mirek190 v4 mod for X98 Pro.

Link the same: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BwgYsVGfPgrrdnFvZDdFNGRuMU0

File: x16_pro_v2.zip

For now this version is untested.
[Windows 8 General] kstephens98:
Thank you! [emoji4]
[Windows 8 General] styropian:
Pleasure one my site. V1 is very stable. Battery drains 10% overnight.

Wat's new coming in v2 if I can ask.Also will be nice if you list the new (futures, updates) in new rev.

Thanks !!!

X16 Power Original BIOS (with Tools and other stuff), full working and tested by OKQI AliExpress Seller. (Official Teclast Reseller)

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-2dpW_lpZCPRVZpSDBXaW9weFk

WARNING: you might lose your Windows 10 Home activation

I have asked also for X16 Pro BIOS and I'm waiting for a reply.

UPDATE: Fixed Link, i had to include it in another compressed archive to avoid issues with Google Drive executables scan.
[Windows 8 General] DenisAllex:
There is no descriptions because fixes in both my mods are rather similar to v1-v3 fixes in mireks mods and v4 fixes in mireks mod respectively. They are described in mireks posts. The differences is briefly described in my first post.

So, changes in v2 comparing to v1 is follows:

– new default wallpaper

– added contacts

– added setup wizard after a clean install of the rom

– removed the teclast file browser

– added a total commander ( file browser )

– updated google core apps

– added google apps configs to /system

– lower mim brightness

– higher max brightness

– lower default brightness

– faster all animations

– warning about the loudness change to max audio level – not in half like before

– smaller navigation bar

– GMS/GSF (SystemUpdate) wakelocks fix

As for future releases - i don't critisize mirek mods, but for now i don't plan future releases for now. As for mireks v5 and v6:

- some mods implemented in even first version of my mod:

– better settings for LMK

– increased sedder randomizer ( less IO congest )

– possibly fixed black screens occur ( sometimes happened earlier )

- some other mods is just cosmetic and not so usefull:

– possibility to change navigation bar to 3 buttons 5 buttons and 6 buttons ( default 3 buttons )

– modded stock brwser – up to 16 tabs now

(also i don't see any reason to deodex full rom for now)

- some mods is just "playing around" or no improvement (or even no such fix at all) found by me, or possibly fixes to errors introduced by previous mods:

– modded the RAM chandler – much more efficient the heavy multi tasking (swaps was enabled in v4, very little adjusted in v5, and after what this fix removed compleately in v6, back to stock behavior)

– fixed black screens that occur sometimes ( the second attempt ) - no improvement or even no such fix

– fixed screen in setings – system – status ( not crashing anymore ) - introduced by incorrect deodex maybe i'm not sure enough

– better settings for ODM - not shure what mireks mean by that

some mods aren't usefull for x16 (x16 unaffected by this problems):

– UNLOCKED 4 GB of RAM ! – as many as apps as you want in the RAM now !

some mods are very usefull, but the way it's done isn't right way as for me:

– HOTPLUG ! – switching CPU cores off when are not necessary – save battery

(infinite loop in bash script to check cpu state, small sleep times as for me), the better option: possibly change type of cpu governor for cpu2 and cpu3 to hotplug governor, or even better try to compile and insmod on boot hotplug driver...but i can't do it reliable enought without actual hardware (my most advanced Android device for now is Acrhos 70IT on android 2.2...)

So for now i don't plan releases in near future.
[Windows 8 General] DenisAllex:
All the same, try password protected archive and post password in this thread please.
[Windows 8 General] VEGM92:
Edit: NVM I got it working.
[Windows 8 General] VEGM92:
DenisAllex I tried flashing your V2 of your rom and have found 2 problems. 1 if it's a clean flash it gets into some sort of loop with the Teclast android boot screen, I've let it sit there for over 10minutes and nothing changes. 2. If I do a dirty flash from V1 it gets into another bootloop but this time from within the OS. I'll get setup wizard crashes, then it'll eventually just reboot by itself then it'll have a 'Optimizing Apps' screen when finishes it goes black to the Intel boot screen and repeat the process over and over. I let it do the loop about 7 times before I just turned it off.

V1 boot with no issues and works great.
[Windows 8 General] sdevaux:
the same here go back to v1
[Windows 8 General] xbelier:
I'm really interested in this ROM.

What annoys me more of stock ROM, is keyboard lag and missing taps. Is this solved/mitigated in any way?

Thanks for your time and your work, DenisAllex
[Windows 8 General] VEGM92:
Yea, that's really annoying and no it's not fixed in V1, at least. I luckily have the keyboard attachment and it works without any lag, but if I'm using it as a tablet doing anything that requires typing is a pain.
[Windows 8 General] DenisAllex:
That's really strange, because touch fix (identical to whose for windows) was incorporated in v1, and it should apply as long as kernel works ok and didn't panic.
[Windows 8 General] VEGM92:
If it's incorporated, it's not working, typing on the screen is just as bad now as it was on the stock rom. If there anything you'd like me to post that might show if it's functional or not?
[Windows 8 General] nevermind3:
@ Alberto96

link to the bios update doesen`t work. can you fix it?

have you test that bios update?
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
I have updated the link some days ago and it seems to work. OKQI AliExpress Seller has tested it.

UPDATE: you right, it doesn't work. I'll upload it on another file hosting service or add a password to the archive as suggested.

UPDATE 2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-2dpW_lpZCPbWtIYzhyM3VpR00/view?usp=docslist_api

Password: BIOSTeclastBIOS
[Windows 8 General] DenisAllex:
1. Archive contains virus dropper file: lpk.dll inside, that's why g.drive complains, and what's why you have to pw protect archive as a result.

2. If anyone try to use fpt (not afu) they at least can't flash bios, but with great chances just brick their devices!!
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
I don't know, this is the archive that OKQI AliExpress Seller gave me.

I never thought that they would include a virus :eek:
[Windows 8 General] Flintyk:
:silly: Confirmed by me few months ago))
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Have you tried fpt with this BIOS Image?
[Windows 8 General] Flintyk:
No. But effect will be same. File size is 8mb, it`s a fullflash without win10 serial number.

I do not want brick my tablet 10 times and open tablet case to repair by flasher. And i do not see any reasons to flash same version bios.

Files must be checked by uploader, not by sellers and others third persons. If you not sure, do not upload it.
[Windows 8 General] DenisAllex:
Agreed, as I wrote Alberto96 privately this bios can't help me anyway, but surprisingly I asked him to re-upload archive (wiped by google), but why? I suppose there may be some fixes or improvements (as long as this bios was advertised as possibly have fixes to smth), but bios exactly the same as your tablets have (i checked it, i'm not sure about Intel ME, there are some changes, but ME also contains mutable area like nvram, so i can't say for sure about ME, looks like main code is the same, but...it's hard to impossible to reverse ME).

So, there are absolutely no reason to update bios to the same one. If you can update smth (i.e. able to start afu or fpt) - you didn't have any reason to do it, if you can't start flasher - you just can't update...

Generally this bios can't be flashed with fpt, as well as any other one without some special "transition" bios relaxing bios protections, wich in that case should be flashed first by afu. It isn't a matter of new bios contents, it's a matter of protections in you current bios. With fpt you can start flashing and flash ME part without problems but fpt drops with error exactly where the bios area starts.

With afu you can flash bios but even this process isn't 100% reliable.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Yeah I agree too, the one who have uploaded it and then gave it to me probably had an infected PC.

This hasn't been provided to re-flash the same BIOS (who would do it, it doesn't make any sense at all) but to resurrect tablets with wrong BIOS flashed or, even worse, bricked.
[Windows 8 General] Flintyk:
In this case you do not need any fpt or afu, you need hardware flasher and flasher's utility.

Just put fullflash.bin file into archive.

i bricked my tablet by such archive as your. It was terrible, but i have good electronics skills and for me it is was able to repair. For newborns it will be armagedon ))))
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
But you did it without any reason then, you have tried to re-flash the same bios ;)

It was written that my archive was a BIOS Backup, not an update.

If you do it, then you are doing it at your own risk.
[Windows 8 General] Flintyk:
Was wrote "bios update", it was good reasons for me.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
BIOS Backup + Update Tool, doesn't mean BIOS Update. Maybe i shouldn't have written that Update word, but if you read it carefully it does make sense.
[Windows 8 General] DenisAllex:
Flintyk talking about bios in thread header, thats ok, i'm talking about update because you state (see quote above): I have asked for an updated version, so there might be also some fixes too. - so when i asked you to re-upload i thought that possibly they sent you something new...
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Yes you right, I hoped so but they have just provided me the built-in version. This is what Teclast has provided them.

Anyway, it was written Original BIOS

"X16 Power Original BIOS (with Tools and other stuff), full working and tested by OKQI AliExpress Seller. (Official Teclast Reseller)"

Not Updated BIOS
[Windows 8 General] Flintyk:
Key word - was wrote. And i did't wrote that its was wrote here.

And if we talk about your archive then how about this phrase "I have asked for an updated version, so there might be also some fixes too"? It will be enough for newborns.

Just write - "Not an update, this is a full dump of tablet bios, just for recover procedure by hardware flasher". And do not put into archive any other files, utils...

Brick to the brick. The great Wall of China. ))))))
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
For Linux users, it seems that there is a BIOS bug that creates issues with Power Management. -.-'

It is almost impossible to get a full working Linux Kernel on this device (if i fix a bug, another bug comes). I'm starting to hate Teclast devices.
[Windows 8 General] pubo68:
Hi dudes!!

Yesterday I tested Ubuntu 16.04 on my Teclast X16 Power and... it works almost perfectly!!! It only fails the Wifi/Bluetooth card, but I've seen people that solved it.

I gess I could test it in the next days and I'll reply my review.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
On my X16 Power it doesn't finish to boot. (Hangs on the Ubuntu boot logo)

Which version are you using? Daily Builds or Official?
[Windows 8 General] pubo68:
Hi Alberto,

I used oficial one with Startup Disk Creator.

I had de same problem with older Ubuntu versions, but with 16.04 runs perfectly

P.S: I'm trying to download complet image (windows + android) backup from the First post, but it's impossible. Can anyone upload to Mega or another server?

Many thanks

Hi again!

yesterday I installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my Teclast X16 Power. Everything worked pretty well but Wifi (Realtek RTL8723BS) and bluetooth.

I could follow these simple steps: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66490711&postcount=29

and now Wifi works like a charm.

I also tried Unity8 and Mir, but it is in a very early state yet... oooohhhh....

On the next days I will test to install Android and Ubuntu together...
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
[MENTION=272370]pubo68[/MENTION] : Are you sure that you are running latest Ubuntu 16.04 LTS image? On my Tablet it stops booting on a black screen after the Ubuntu boot logo and it doesn't continue to boot. Just like a Kernel Panic.

Bootable USB created with Startup Disk Creator as you specified.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
UPDATE: Kernel Panic confirmed.

This issue seems to be caused by the Sound Card driver.
[Windows 8 General] pubo68:

Try with another USB Pendrive or with Startup Creator... I tell you I had any problems with run 16.04 installation or live test.

If I can help you in anything, tell me, ok?
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Your Ubuntu image has Kernel 4.5, while mine has 4.4 version. I'm probably using the wrong/older image then.

UPDATE: also with kernel 4.5 it doesn't boot. I have also tested two different USB Sticks, nothing helps.

[MENTION=272370]pubo68[/MENTION] : could you check your BIOS Version? It is strange that it doesn't boot on my Tablet even if it is the same as yours.
[Windows 8 General] pubo68:
I first installed Ubuntu x64 with stock kernel, and after upgraded by following the steps I mentioned before.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
I really don't know what is happening here then. The only difference on my Tablet is the TXE FW version, nothing else.
[Windows 8 General] pubo68:
Have you tried with another pendrive? I remember some years ago I had very similar problem with older Ubuntu version. Burning ISO into a DVD worked perfectly, but not in a pendrive
[Windows 8 General] ngok31:
Hi all,

After a few months with this tablet, i"m still disapointed..

This get a very good hardware platform but an awful BIOS and Software from Teclast.

And this poor software is going to piss me off..

I suffer from the battery drain in Android and Win10 even with a clean win10 install from Microsoft..

This is a major issue for me this tablet can be used for 4 hours max less if you play some games. If you go on standby the battery is empty in 12 hours ???

I have some unexplained slowdows in Win 10 ??

In Andoid same issues as anybody...

Teclast has not released any new bios or fixes or Android rom to fix these issues.. I think this update will never come...

So I have a buggy tablet barely usable and unsoldable due to these severe issues...

This is my first and last Chinese and Teclast tablet..

I will get another tablet from Samsung Sony Asus or other on Christmas..
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
Sure i have, i'll try with an External DVD Drive then.

I agree, avoid Teclast tablets. CHUWI & Cube tablets are much better.
[Windows 8 General] kikev10:
On my teclast x16 pro same problem :/
[Windows 8 General] kikev10:
Ok, finally I can boot live usb correctly. I decided install ubuntu instead of Android, so I delete all partions that named "android_xxx". Ubuntu instalation failed when it tried to write boot partitio. (I think).

The problem now is I can't boot into Windows neither Ubuntu (of course, android neither). I tried fix boot with usb live windows but doesn't works.

What can I do??

Thanks and sorry for my poor english

[Windows 8 General] articsilverfox:
Hi guys.. just replying to my own post for the sake of complete open-ness of the issues..

I ordered a few from different sites including ebay etc and they are all bad.. but I paypal disputed my money back since some claimed 2Amps in their descriptions when it couldn’t provide that power so I showed photo of it failing to get even 1/10th (fraction) of the promised power.. I think these are meant for only charging devices with tiny batteries like bluetooth earphones etc… thats the only way to explain the tiny current they give..

I did find one that really is a good one, the wires are thicker and it really works well.. full amps power..

Its also a good price USD $2, only $1 extra but x10 better!

This website looks weird but trust me this cable is the real deal..

http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=3775

It really chargers properly I tested it with my USB power meter..

As you can see the cable is visually thicker too.. You can just pay with paypal like ebay etc and its only USD $2 so no worries!

I attached photo here of the amps it gave out of my quad USB out powerboard.. I got this ages ago and I don't know what its full USB amps out max is but on this first test its already giving 1.48amps which is almost exactly 10 times more power then the other 2.5mm USB charge cables..

Just trying to catch up on this thread, so is there a bios update out for this tablet now? wow..
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
I recommend you to get this USB-2.5mm DC Cable.

I got it from "FastTech" and it delivers more than 2.2A under full load or charging.

18AWG wires help a lot.
[Windows 8 General] Alberto96:
On Idle, battery almost fully charged.

Pretty good :)

Thanks for the new driver updates. Some installed just fine. Others I'm guessing I have to disable the driver signature verification in Windows?

The new Intel Hd graphics drivers has stopped all the crashes. I've gone through a whole charge cycle without a single crash.

Curious if any of you have been able to charge the tablet via any of the other ports? I can't get it to charge at all via the OTG. My DC charger broke and I'm waiting on s replacement I'm using a 2 amp charger from my nephews tablet to charge but it takes a good 18hrs for a full charge. I ordered a Pogo charging cable for my Xperia Z5 premium hopefully it'll be able to charge via the bottom connector.
