It Doesn't run correct on my device

Hi.

I installed remix os 3.0.202 64bit and 3.0.203 32bit and 64bit from both hard drive and flash memory many times

and after installation display is black but pressing arrow key and Enter key of keyboard have tap sound;

now what should I do for displaying any thing on my display?

note: there is a minus sign on the top left corner on my display after installation!

my device is dell inspiron n5110.

Can everyone help me to run remix os correctly?

tanx.

I did a clean install coming from 3.0.201 and ran into this...error? I had this issue on 202 as well so I was hoping 203 would've fixed it. 201 is the last bootable build for me.

Type

logcat

in the command line you see on the picture -> hit Enter -> check if it will output a loop of same lines. Shoot some pics of these or make a short video.

Also have in mind that Remix will most likely NOT boot if you have external display attached to the laptop before Remix OS logo appears.
[Remix OS for PC] Gus Ghanem:
Thank You, but it appears that's not the problem, and I didn't see anything else on the screen... The OS just isn't booting properly on my system, I select Language, then Agree, then WiFi Setup appears, it just remains at the pink and black screen, with nothing else around, and the mouse pointer appears and disappears, sometimes I can get a white context sharing menu. I tried rebooting, still all I can get is the pink and black screen, nothing else is showing up. (My video card is an Nvidia 660Ti)
[Remix OS for PC] danerrickcuba@gmail.com:
[MENTION=7103482]Gus Ghanem[/MENTION]

...enter this into the command menu at the bottom: nouveau.modeset=1 i915.modeset=0

then press "b" or "f10" to boot!

<<<New World Order (NWO)>>>
[Remix OS for PC] Gus Ghanem:
Thanks again, but the OS seems to be booting fine, and the problem may have been an incompatible mouse (SteelSeries), the next problem now is overscan (I'm connected to a TV via HDMI), parts of the UI are beyond the screen edges, and so I can't complete the setup process. But that's OK, I'm only trying RemixOS. Thanks for your help.

Edit: OK, after 3 or 4 reboots, it's now working almost fine, launching Play Store caused a freeze. I'll keep trying.
[Remix OS for PC] agentg1001:
The laptop was only connected to a power cord and ethernet like it always is. I reinstalled 201 and it boots perfectly fine under the same exact conditions. I will try your suggestion when I get the chance, thanks!

Dual boot gone

I had remix os installed with windows 10 home it was working but after today windows 10 put out an update and after it finished there isn't any more remix os option at boot it just goes straight into windows the remix file folder and files are still there. Any ideas??

I have a Asus X540L.

[MENTION=6080477]danerrickcuba@gmail.com[/MENTION] [MENTION=1675526]wizmart[/MENTION] - I've asked our Remix OS for PC product manager on this. He checked out the issue with the engineers and here is a possible solution:

1) Go to 'Settings > Remix OS options > Windowed mode app list > Gaming toolkit'

2) Make sure Windowed mode is enabled

Please let me know if this fixes the issue with the Key mapping tool. Thanks!

Have you tried to reinstall Remix OS again? According to my engineering colleague, it's actually pretty common for bigger Windows updates to do this to other OS you try to dual boot from.
[Remix OS for PC] the_poolee:
After OTA from 3.0.201 to 3.0.203, system no longer boots up. Just shows the blinking "_" on black screen. Can't figure out what went wrong..
[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
Your boot entry / boot files for remix were wiped during the Windows update. You need to examine if only boot entry was lost or also the files - if only entry, then you can manually add it via EasyBCD on legacy boot or via EasyUEFI on UEFI boot.

If you are not experienced in the above, it's easier to just reinstall. You can back up the data.img first, then install and then restore data.img.

....good day, i have tried all your suggestions and i have the Game tool Kit enabled in the windowed mode apps list,but the its not responding either, it opens a window and then closes without showing the floating button,same behaviour as incompatible applications i have tried installing on the system.

i get this error:

thanks again!
[Remix OS for PC] wizmart:
Hi Jason, i have just had a look to my settings after your advice, gaming toolkit was enabled windows mode, i did a try again with pinball arcade just to discover there is actually a keymapping made from the game with left/right arrows active even without keymapping enable but anyway i tried again mapping other keys like before, that didn't work..i tried then with beach buggy racers, same there no success, i tried deactivate my trackpad: it was still active after reboot...i tried gaming toolkit not in windows mode, no difference, not working...

well thats my experience until now

thank you anyway for your effort Jason, keep going!

[Remix OS for PC] WASasquatch:
I have this same issue. Does nothing at all.

I was told by Remix Staff via email that this issue will not be entirely resolved anytime soon and is due to how different monitors handle sound for their devices which are not recognized by Remix OS. It's likely they don't even have access to all the current, and old, monitors that have been on the market to remedy this. I hope it does because I have to plug in a headphone sound system from like 1998 to get sound on my desktop computer.

Today I finally installed Remix (B2016083002) to my HDD, almost everything is OK.

I can access to my other disk partitions, what is great, but on every partition it creates /Android/data and /Android/obb folders with another subfolders for every app. Folders are empty, but why they are created, can I delete them?

[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
[MENTION=1687121]agentg1001[/MENTION] you can make this change persistent by applying the parameter to grub.cfg/menu.lst file.

For UEFI installations:

EFI system partition:/boot/grub/grub.cfg

For legacy boot installations I don't remember where the file is. You can find that info in REMOUNT guide available on this forum.

issue with screen brightness and volume control...

After updating to the latest version 3.0.203 via OTA, my screen brightness is at its full all the time, sliding the brightness control slider has no effect at all, it's really annoying as I can't use it at night 'cause it's too bright obviously :eek:

also, if I put it on standby, the screen would go black but the backlight is still on and at full setting!

volume rocker is no longer functioning too, it has no effect whatsoever..

I'm runing remix on my Asus T100T tablet, everything worked pretty well on 3.0.201...

I really appreciate the update done to the key mapping game toolkit, it works like a charm now, and my wirless connection is as good as it should be...

any help with the screen brightness issue will be really appreciated, and thanks in advance :)

[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
[MENTION=4924503]masaykh[/MENTION] I don't know if that's just a misspelled part in your post or if you misspelled when you were modifying the boot entry, but it's "nomodeset=1", not "nomodest=1".

Seeing your errors it seems like the drivers don't work very well for you. On my device just the "androidboot.swrast=1" was enough.

Try nomodeset=1 and androidboot.swrast=1 boty at once.

If the above doesn't work, you should fill the feedback form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1cZNesOmnmO2esilFpvMzFZ874rvwsiKgWIX2fo9QsDk/viewform

For Screen brightness issue, you can use Twilight app. It automatically adjusts your device's brightness (color temperature) over the course of the day, reducing the harsh whites and blues as the day progresses.

[MENTION=4666322]Vioner[/MENTION] i found Android-X86 nightly from here http://dev-io.ro/nightly-builds/ that works
[Remix OS for PC] Vioner:
[MENTION=4924503]masaykh[/MENTION] I've just tested Android-x86-6.0-RC2 and Remix 3.0.203 on Lenovo 700-15ISK (dual gpu) and I fully booted only after applying androidboot.swrast=1. That resulted in virtual graphics adapter being used - lags and crashes... So I entered BIOS, found GPU settings and selected UAM - (integrated intel gpu) instaed of Discrete (dual gpu boot). This allowed me to boot Remix with the Intel HD Graphics 530 - no more lags, much better stability.

Problem for me was that I couldn't even get past the "remix_x86_x64 #/_" command-line which appears before the Remix logo. This also happens when you plug external display before Remix logo appears. You [MENTION=4924503]masaykh[/MENTION] could get past that cmdline, so your problem seems a bit different - probably driver issue and not the GPU detection and selection problem.

Since you've found a nightly with a fix, we can anticipate that the fixes will be emedded in future Remix/Android-x86 releases.

I tried to use nomodeset but no way to boot.

However early versions of RemixOS were able to boot only with nomodeset.

Now it is not needed anymore at least on my machine.

Do you know the scope/role of androidboot.swrast=1?
[Remix OS for PC] masaykh:
androidboot.swrast=1 forcing use of software renderer (graphic will be proccessed only using CPU).

Tested right now 3.201 version, and i can confirm that it work only with androidboot.swrast=1

as nightly builds of android-x86 work without such parameter , i can think only about screwed renderer as only software renderer working.

I imagine if audio gets fixed it will wirk thriugh hdmi as well. This bug with Intel realtek audio is major and needs to be addressed there are more without sound using this than not.

I love it. Stable and running great. I can wait on all else But sound. No audio is a deal breaker.

I don't mean to be rude, but I can't see any reason for making that happen.

Trying to mix systems together is simply a waste of time. You either make one independent creation or a failure.

Wipe cache in recovery and reboot. It could be the install script in cache is looking for something that's not there.
