OTA Update of an USB flash drive installation

Since April 2016 you could download new versions from http://www.jide.com/remixos-for-pc only about one week after an OTA update was possible. So performing an OTA update of your Remix OS USB drive is not necessary if you can wait a few days. Since July, 15th you can download version 2.0.403 directly and go on with installing of new or updating of existing Remix OS installations.

Performing the OTA update

After clicking "Settings > Update" you might get the message "Latest version: Remix OS 2.0.403 ... Please download and install the update"

http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=german

Before starting the "Download" please click the 3 dots and select "Options"

http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=german

OTA-Upgrade after Reboot:

http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=german

You can use the updated USB device for installing of new and updating of existing Remix OS installations.

Enabling or Installing of the Google Play Store

Enable the Google Play Store using root terminal commands

Since version 2.0.403 you have to switch on "Enable debug terminal console" (Settings > Experimental features) in advance.

Enter the root terminal (Alt+F1) and type

pm disable com.jide.apppolicy

pm enable com.android.vending

pm enable com.google.android.gms

pm enable com.google.android.gsf

pm enable com.google.android.gsf.login

Leave the root terminal (Alt+F7)

Restart Remix OS

Clicking the Play Store icon after the restart will allow you to sign on with your Google account and install apps.

New proposal for installing the Google Play Store, coming with version 2.0.202

The new symbol "Install Apps" on the Remix OS 2.0.202 desktop is a link to a google forum "Remix OS for PC": How to download and install Google Play Store on Remix OS for PC based on downloading "GMSActivator.apk"

This approach has 2 disadvantages:

- Installation from unknown sources is required

- It is more time consuming as just typing 5 command lines into a terminal

OTA update to version 2.0.403 (2016-07-12)

You will be informed that there is an OTA update to version 2.0.403 if you are working with version 2.0.402.

You download version 2.0.403 from http://www.jide.com/remixos-for-pc. So you don't have to OTA update your new USB flash drive.

An OTA update of the new version (see OTA Update of an USB flash drive installation) makes only sense a few days until you can download the new version.

The flash drive with version 2.0.403 can be used then for updating an installed version (created with "INSTALL=1" option - see "Install Remix OS") of Remix OS.

Hmm. having issues installing inside a ESXi host.

When booting into RemixOS I get the error message like:

"driver does not support CPU family 6 type 7"

And then it reboots. Any ideas?
[Remix OS for PC] remixtester:
Setting screen size and density

Since version 2.0.402 Remix OS supports mirrored output from DP, HDMI & VGA. So you can mirror your output to a second screen. But you have to adjust your screen size and density according to the second screen.

With <Alt F1> you can open a root terminal (see "Settings > Experimental features > Enable debug terminal console").

<Alt F7> will close the terminal.

Typing wm will show you the commands for changing the screen size and density: wm

wm size [WxH]

wm density [DENSITY]

wm overscan [LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM]

wm size will show e.g.

Physical size: 1440x900

Override size: 1280x1024

wm density is the DPI density and will show e.g.

Physical density: 160

Override density: 180

Example:

wm size 1024x768

wm density 140

will adjust your output to a 1024x768 screen.

Versions 3.0.101 (2016-07-26) / 3.0.103 (2016-08-08)

Using the INSTALL=1 command (see Installation Remix OS on hard disk) an installation on a Lenovo T400 or within Virtualbox was not possible (see Remix OS 3.0.101 64bit does not start correctly).

Using the 32bit version, Remix OS started correctly, repeatedly, and with good performance on an 16GB USB device (see Link). Running then 32bit version installed on a hard disk or within Virtualbox (using "INSTALL=1") was possible, too.

So it seems that version 3.0.101 64bit still has problems prohibiting an installation to hard disk or to Virtualbox. I'll keep working with version 2.0.403 64bit until the problems have been fixed.

Version 3.0.102 (2016-08-03)

Remix OS 3.0.102 64bit can be installed on a Lenovo T400. After clicking "English" the menu moves to the left side and vanishes a few seconds later. The screen remains dark. Hitting some keys I finally saw the message: "Jide setup wizard isn't responding - Do you want to close it? Wait - OK". There is no difference to the behaviour of version 3.0.101.

The 32bit version can be installed on a Lenovo T400 and runs. The main differences to version 3.0.101 are:

- Symbols for an "App store" and Games

- A symbol for checking whether there is a "System update". If "yes" an OTA update will be possible in future.

- see official thread "Remix OS for PC update 3.0.102" for more information

Version 3.0.103 (2016-08-08)

Remix OS 3.0.103 64bit still does not work on a Lenovo T400 (see above).

The 32bit version runs. There are only minor updates - see official thread

I got those in the beginning as well. The fix that I found somewhere was to simply remove your account, add it back, and then clear data/cache of play store and play services before running play store for the first time. It worked.
[Remix OS for PC] remixtester:
I got error DF-DLA-15, too, in my first try. I repeated the installation, enabled the Google Play Store, and restarted Remix OS 3.0.101 32bit. This time I could sign on and install apps without problems.
[Remix OS for PC] remixtester:
Update from Remix OS 3.0.101 to version 3.0.10x

For Remix OS systems which have been set up using the "INSTALL=1" option, an update (preserving all data) from version 3.0.101 to version 3.0.102 is possible - see link "Update for Remix OS installations".

Version 3.0.102 has the function "System update" wich will be used for OTA updates in future.

Versions 3.0.103 and 3.0.104 could be downloaded the same day there was an OTA update available. So link "Update for Remix OS installations" is ok for an update to version 3.0.10x, too.

I would strongly discourage anyone from using the 2013_08_01 version of PartedMagic. Yes, it may be the last free version, but it is also has a high risk of damaging devices. There used to be a message on the PMagic site, long since removed:

Versions 3.0.104 (2016-08-11) and 3.0.201 (2016-08-16)

Version 3.0.104 (2016-08-11)

Remix OS 3.0.103 64bit still does not work on a Lenovo T400: After selecting the language the screen gets and remains dark.

The 32bit version runs. There are minor updates fixing most Google Activation issues (link).

Looking at a video e.g. using VLC does not need anymore activating the "Auto-hide taskbar" (Settings > Remix OS options) in order to have a full screen image.

Wi-Fi-Problem still existing with version 3.0.104: After starting Remix OS in most cases the Wi-Fi is not connected automatically, as long as the "Wi-Fi" pop-up window is not opened yet. After opening the Wi-Fi pop-up window Wi-Fi is connected automatically a few seconds later. It's not a big problem, just not comfortable.

Version 3.0.201 (2016-08-16)

Release Notes

Remix OS 3.0.201 64bit still does not work on a Lenovo T400: After selecting the language the screen gets and remains dark.

The 32bit version runs. NTFS and EXT4 (new feature!) partitions are mounted automatically. During startup Remix OS tries to mount it's own partition (dual boot with Ubuntu) and creates a message "corrupted".
[Remix OS for PC] Whitest:
Latest 64bit version 3.0.201 still the same problem. After language selection the screen goes dark and the error message "Jide setup wizard isn't responding - Do you want to close it? Wait - OK" appears. Tried with Guest Version from USB pendrive - so it seems it's not only the Hard Drive Install that has the problem...

Tried on Macbook 5,2 (Early 2009)

Intel Core 2 Duo (2 Ghz)

Nvidia Geforce 9400M

EDIT: Alright I've found a nice idea for a workaround in the Remix Google Group:

[Remix OS for PC] topoldo:
Just to say that on my Asus eeePC 1000HE with 2GB of RAM and a SATA HD with 160GB, I was successfull to install Android x86 until version 4.4.RC5 included. I was NOT able to install either Android x86 version 6.0RC2 (32 bit) or any RemixOS (32 bit) version. I did not try with Android x86 v.5.1 yet. I can easily perform all the process of installation of different OSes on the HD but the HD can't reboot. It stucks after booting with a flashing cursor. I don't know if this depends on the fs (which is ext3 in Android x86 4.4.5 and lower) while it is ext4 on Android x86 6.x and Remix OS or whatever else.

I just want to do dual boot.. Yosemite as well as remix os

First i make partition using boot camp

I ready make bootable pendrive

Then i plug bootable pendrive in macbook and boot from that

Then when appear first window i press tab n type INSTALL=1 DEBUG=

then press F10 for boot

After that it shows me multiple partition .

I choose bootcamp partition that is sd4.

I select that partition n format in ext4 file system.

Then i select boot loader GRUB- yes

Then select EFI GRUB2 - skip

Then install it

After that i reboot system.

But when i remove installation media ( pendrive)

I cnt see any partition like (EFI BOOT )
[Remix OS for PC] Whitest:
You need to install EFI GRUB2 to be able to boot in EFI Mode, you can skip normal GRUB install. Also after that I had to fix / correct the grub.cfg to make remix boot but please try my suggested change first

Version 3.0.202 (2016-08-23) - 64bit version installable again

The release notes show the main improvements. Most important for me is the fixing of the "black screen" issue. So the 64bit version is installable again (at least at Lenovo T400).

Android-x86 partition "corrupted"

Because I am liking the HDD Mount I did not disable this feature. So the ext4 Android-x86 partition is still shown as "Corrupted" in "Settings > Storage & USB". Remix OS should notice that it tries to mount it's own system partition. Clicking at the "corrupted" Android-x86 storage you get the senseless message "This USB drive is corrupted. To use this USB drive, you have to set it up first - cancel - set up".

Incoming WhatsApp calls without ringtone

Using the last Lollipop version 2.0.403 WhatsApp worked fine with all features. With version 3.0.202 64bit there is no ringtone while getting a WhatsApp call, although the "Ring volume" (Settings > Sound & notificatiion) has been set to maximum and although WhatsApp got all permissions (Settings > Apps > WhatsApp): Camera, Contacts, Location, Microphone, Phone, SMS, and Storage).
[Remix OS for PC] remixtester:
Version 3.0.203 (2016-08-30) - Installed in RemixOS (replacing "android-2016-mm-dd")

The main difference to version 3.0.202 is a stable name RemixOS for the directory containing the installation. Performing an update to an old version you have to take that into account.

3.0.203 release notes

Android-x86 partition "corrupted"

The ext4 Android-x86 partition is still shown as "Corrupted" in "Settings > Storage & USB".

Missing Ringtones

Phone and notification ringtones are missing in "Settings > Sound & notification":

https://postimage.org/

Obviously that's why WhatsApp will not ring while receiving an incoming call. In Remix OS 2.0.403 (Lollipop) a number of different ringtones were present. So WhatsApp worked fine in this version.
[Remix OS for PC] flhthemi:
Does this still work in version 3.0.203? After installation I was presented with an option to enable the Play Store. I refused it as I knew I was going to do as listed above. But it doesn't seem to work any longer as I get the blue sign in screen which times out with the dreaded message that there was a problem connecting to the google servers and to try again later.

So...what now to get the Play Store up and running?
[Remix OS for PC] remixtester:
Enabling Play Store using terminal commands still working

I tried again using current version 3.0.204:

pm enable com.google.android.gms

pm enable com.google.android.gsf

- The Play Store symbol is there an can be started

- Sign on and installing an app (e.g. K-9-Mail) works.
[Remix OS for PC] flhthemi:
OK I'll try again...about the 5th time...and yes I am using ALL the above command lines...I even clear data for

[Remix OS for PC] flhthemi:
Still no joy...here is what I've tred:

I deleted all the partitions on the HDD and made new ones. Then reinstalled Remix OS same version. Elected no Play Store at setup. Once at desktop I went to settings and enabled the command line option. Then went back to desktop issued the commands exited out with alt+F7 and restarted. Play Store will not let me in same old tired message about servers.

Oh yeah play store version in apps shows v6.8.24.F-all[0 3085398]

So I guess I'm going to give up...unless someone knows what else I can try :(

I had to modify my boot grub boot entry to make refind boot on my Macbook.

Do you use refind boot manager or just the ALT button boot option of your Macbook?

Here's what I did:

boot into Mac OS X

fire up terminal & type

diskutil mount disk0s1

You'll then find the otherwise hidden EFI partition in your Finder. Go to that partition. Check what folders you find and report back. You should probably only see a folder called EFI. In this case you

have to create a new folder called 'boot' with the following structure (create folders & file grub.cfg if it's not there):

EFI partition: /boot/grub/grub.cfg

So then you have:

EFI partition:

/boot/grub/grub.cfg

/EFI/ lots of folders

my grub.cfg

set timeout=6

menuentry "Remix OS 2016-08-30 RW=1" {
search --set=root --file /RemixOS/kernel
linux /RemixOS/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive SERIAL=random logo.showlogo=1 SRC=/RemixOS REMOUNT_RW=1
initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img
}
menuentry "Remix OS 2016-08-30 RW=1 (DEBUG mode)" {
search --set=root --file /RemixOS/kernel
linux /RemixOS/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive SERIAL=random logo.showlogo=1 SRC=/RemixOS REMOUNT_RW=1 DEBUG=2
initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img}

please note I added REMOUNT_RW=1 to create a RW system environment upon bootup - if you don't want this just change the value to REMOUNT_RW=0 or delete it. Also note this is for the 64bit version of Remix OS

With this little modification you should be able to boot Remix OS - it seems something in EFI grub standard configuration is not correctly programmed at installation point, that's why we have to add this file to make it work.
[Remix OS for PC] Kereke12:
Very late reply -- I will try this again. Thank you.
[Remix OS for PC] jelabarre59:
It actually gets past the "RemixOS" boot logo, but you STILL can't do anything with it. Once you get to the "Select Your Language" screen, you can't select anything on the screen (like the language selection, duh) regardless of *HOW* you fiddle with the Mouse Integration. So you can get one more step, and then it's STILL worthless.
[Remix OS for PC] jelabarre59:
So I did an experiment with this. I plugged in a second USB mouse to the computer and assigned it to the VirtualBox VM for RemixOS. I used that one instead of the system mouse, that way I didn't have to deal with "Mouse Integration" as it had it's own dedicated device. Was able to navigate all the way into the desktop.

Major problem is RemixOS does not configure the ethernet. Perhaps there's a boot-time switch it would prefer? VBox can provide these network adapters, is there one RemixOS prefers?

AMD PCNet PCI II (Am79C970A);

AMD PCNet FAST III (Am79C973, the default);

Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM);

Intel PRO/1000 T Server (82543GC);

Intel PRO/1000 MT Server (82545EM);

Paravirtualized network adapter (virtio-net).

(once it's installed it boots off the VBox HDD, so perhaps Ethernet may be the last hurdle?)
[Remix OS for PC] jelabarre59:
It works with the "Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)" (you can use NAT or Bridged mode, both work). I have it set for "Promiscuous Mode / Accept All", don't know if that's necessary.

One mistake I was apparently making was to have more than one ethernet interface. I usually will set up a VM that way, with one set to NAT and the other Bridged. RemixOS apparently won't configure ethernet all when it sees two ethernet adapters.

I don't think I will get anything better on the display, but I don't really need that for my testing.

BTW: you only need the secondary USB mouse mapped directly to the VM for the initial install Once the VM is up and running, you can use the Mouse Integration. Again, without an "extension" for this guest environment, that will be limited (even though VBox API should allow you to make a custom Extensions package to add support for video, etc, I don't see anyone making that because it's just too small of a subset of users).

I've been looking long and far for a very long time for a feature like this. I'm using Android 6.0 with the 46A stock firmware on my VS985. I use Google Keyboard and can't switch keyboard apps.

I really want to find something that will let me manually move the keyboard cursor while typing. I know some ROMs have left/right arrow buttons that pop up in the navbar while you have your keyboard open and that would be an absolute godsend to duplicate with an app or module. If this is not possible, I would even settle for the ability to move the cursor by pressing the VOL DOWN/VOL UP buttons while typing, although this wouldn't be my first choice. I set almost all my apps to have a very high DPI so things on my screen are tiny, which is generally how I like it, but it makes it very difficult to manually move the typing cursor.

I really hope somebody here knows of anything that could enable such a feature. Something like this is what I need:
