Firstly, thank you for this awesome OS. I'm late to the android PC party but glad I stumbled into this gem. Been using screen casting and all kinds of stuff just to imitate having android on PC and viola you all engineered exactly what I wanted.

Moving along, my first experience was a breeze, installed the OS on a 8gb flash drive and used it on an old refurbished Dell latitude D830. Gapps was installed, google account setup and kodi of course installed and working flawlessly. It even installed an update from the jide servers but I can't really tell if it added any features.

Attempts on my desktop were met with mixtures of failure, success, frustration, failure, accidental deletion of a tb drive, pain and suffering, failure and lastly success. From trying fat32 partitions, to ext4 partitions the dual boot process just didn't work for weeks. The ubutin or whatever just failed to load what I needed due to the ext partitions and I just wasn't happy with the fact the fat32 limited all my space to less than 4gb's. Most of my errors were in the grub coding as I'm limited in knowledge on the matter and it just took ages to get the grub cfg's to read properly.

Anyway, long story shortened:

Got it installed on an NTFS partition reading 30gb's (changing the line CREATE_DATA_IMG=1 to CREATE_DATA_PARTITION=1 does wonders as I figured out halfway through my struggle). It took a while to get gapps to work, first tried just disabling the jide policy and enabling GServices manually but it failed to download apps from the store. Downloaded the gapps activator same thing until I googled and found that I needed to deactivate then reactivate my account (cleared data and all that a thousand times and rest but apparently that worked, lol). Just recently got that settled and went on a download spree with success. Antutu can't render properly with my GPU, it's slow on the 3D side of things I guess you all haven't had time to work with this one yet (380x). Kodi plays greatly, even recognizes most of my Wireless Xbox 360 controller buttons like the PC version (the triggers are off though and screw with the volume but I found a way to make that stop) the OS itself only recognizes the dpad and a couple of buttons. For some reason I didn't get the same update like on the Dell and from my last check it seems the updater has an issue and can't connect to the severs (says it every so often but then tells me I'm on the most current when it "seems" to actually check. All of this on a wired connection.

All in all I'm happy and I do hope you all enable dual screen and sound card features (its running from the mobo instead of my Xfi extreme gamer card which has a surround setup. Oh and added controller support for complete use of my Xbox 360/controller. Anyway, I'm able to either boot directly into the OS with a cfg that took me ages to configure or I can use the added entry from easybcd that uses the ISO as a base and change a few lines to get it to read my ssd partition. So yes, it can finally dualboot, I just need to customize the ISO some more so I don't have to change anything and just start the OS.

Thanks again and sorry I wrote a book but I had to explain the entire experience as best I could. If anyone was/is like me and had issues with the HDD/ssd install and need help, pm me I think I found a fool proof way and can even share entire setups or cfg's if necessary.

Note: Remix is installed on it's own ssd drive and Windows 10 on another ssd. I believe the data IMG in my NTFS part is being read and I set it at 32 but I know I can read the whole partition if I remove that which would total 103gb's because I've done it over and over, lol. Just pointing that out for those who are like me and want all the space they can get. I should also mention I used the x86 installer a few times which actually extracts the data and system.img's for installation on a HDD/ssd and works on all kinds of partitions I.e. ext4, NTFS, fat32; this can also solve the data size issue for some of you.
