Download Remix OS for PC from

Create an ext4 partition for minimum of 8 GB with label as RemixOS using Gparted from Ubuntu.

(Note : Resizing, ie. shrinking an existing partition, takes more time.

If you have fewer files in an existing partition it will be better to copy those files to another partition

and delete first partition

and create 2 new partitions. One for Remix OS and another for old Data. This will save time.

You should be careful while using Gparted so that partition in which Ubuntu and Windows have been installed is not messed up.

If there is an existing partition which you can allot entirely for Remix OS then open Gparted reformat it to ext4 and label it as RemixOS)

Right click downloaded Remix OS file and select Extract.

Again extract the resultant *.iso file.

Copy the iso extract resulting files and folders to the new ext4 partition labelled RemixOS.

Boot option

Boot option can be created in two ways - either by

Making an entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom file

or by

Making an entry through Grub-customizer

Making an entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom file

Open Terminal and type below command

sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom

--> Make the file opened look like below by copying. Change the "set root=(hd0,3)" as per the RemixOS partition drive number in Gparted mine is sda3. If yours is sda4 change it as "set root=(hd0,4)"

#!/bin/sh

exec tail -n +3 $0

menuentry "Remix OS" {

set root=(hd0,3)

linux /kernel initrd=/initrd.img boot=LABEL=RemixOS disk=LABEL=RemixOS quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SRC= DATA= CREATE_DATA_IMG=1

initrd /initrd.img

}

--> Save --> close.

Type below Terminal commands

sudo chmod +x /etc/grub.d/40_custom

sudo update-grub

(Remix OS does not appear in grub detection while updating grub but appears in Grub Boot Menu)

or

Making an entry through Grub-customizer

Install Grub-customizer in Ubuntu

Type below commands in terminal for installation

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install grub-customizer

Start Grub customizer - select edit - new -

put menuentry as "REMIXOS Resident mode - All your data and apps are saved" or as "Remix OS"

Type as "other"

copy below to the boot sequence. Change the "set root=(hd0,3)" as per the RemixOS partition drive number in Gparted mine is sda3. If yours is sda4 change it as "set root=(hd0,4)"

set root=(hd0,3)

linux /kernel initrd=/initrd.img boot=LABEL=RemixOS disk=LABEL=RemixOS quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SRC= DATA= CREATE_DATA_IMG=1

initrd /initrd.img

Select Save.

Note : Not writing to MBR has resulted in Ubuntu not booting and Remix OS booting when options for Ubuntu was selected in Boot menu. And Remix OS did not show up in Grub menu entry.

So select File - > click write to MBR.

After MBR write, restart ubuntu and select Remix OS.

Patience is needed here it will take some time to install. Sometime without any animation or display movement. So do not restart when it is like that. Wait few minutes it will boot up.

Activate Play Store using Play Activator app (comes pre-installed)

After much trial and error found working way of installation of RemixOS alongside Ubuntu. So sharing it here.

You can increase Internal Storage / Memory from Ubuntu by following

Open Files -> select RemixOS partition -> after it has been mounted move mouse pointer over RemixOS again but don't click -> it will show the mount path normally it will be /media/xxxxxxx/RemixOS (user name will be displayed in place of xxxxxxx -> note the path

You can copy data.img file to Ubuntu partition for restore purpose in case anything goes wrong, before attempting resizing.

open terminal and type below commands

-> cd /media/xxxxxxx/RemixOS

(the path noted)

-> sudo e2fsck -f data.img

type sudo password

-> resize2fs data.img 8G

(Note : Replace 8G as per the partition size allocated to RemixOS.

If you have allocated 40GB to RemixOS partition then you can leave 10GB for OS and

allocate balance 30GB to Internal memory. In such case command will be resize2fs data.img 30G

Important :- allow sufficient space for System use)

-> exit.

I encountered some errors while resizing it asked whether it should be fixed and I pressed two times yes for fix errors.

Remix OS boot was fine it showed increased Internal Storage.

Even OTA update works. Patience is needed when no animation or display or Blank Screen. Wait few minutes. It will restart.

(updated from 3.0.202 to 30.0.203 to 3.0.204 to 3.0.205 to 3.0.206 so far without any errors).

While updating to 3.0.206 the newly introduced update percentage screen disappeared after 65% and display showed blanked screen but update happened and rebooted after 5 minutes (may increase or decrease depending on your RAM). So don't shutdown on blank screen.

Note: Edge scroll not working, two finger scroll works, in laptop (Remix OS).
