I have this MB under the desk and a lot of dust!!..
and i have an idea....
I want to make a little and complete HTpc with android.
The idea is:
-2 disk in raid 1 for a "NAS"
-1 disk SSD to install system
-Android to use a lot of app like kodi, youtube, netflix
-DVBT2 for see TV
All with 1 device, 1 remote control.
Simple and User friendly
A little problem, with this alpha does not start.
I try phoenix os, and i have a loop crash of the GUI
Anyone has got this MB to share the test?
Thanks!

Well if you know how to set up storage controllers you are way more advanced user than I am. I am half decent at searching stuff though, the problem I have now is information overload.
If you add this to the grub boot menu it is supposed to help run nvidia graphics.
nouveau.modeset=1 i915. modeset=0
Another bit of info is the 330 is underclocked 2.0 is native speed, believe this was done to save battery in netbooks.
Nothing but fail on my end, I even failed to get it to boot on my desktop.
Edit....double post. Why is there an edit/delete button but I can't find a way to delete a post?

I finally got it booting from a SSD in an external enclosure on my regular desktop. If Jide doesn't offer any better support for nvidia I will probably look around on the ark.Intel site and see if there is another atom processor that will fit in motherboard socket. I couldn't imagine one costing much on eBay.
We are in the 2nd alpha.. it's impossibile to work on all platform!

Switching the CPU isn't a possibility from what I have read. There is update that is just released, also I want to try the 32 bit for the heck of it. Linux can be ran on the 330/ion combo, so it makes me wonder if there is still hope.
On the latest beta on zotac work!!
Now i try to use and test... thanks!

Any chance Firefox can be swapped out for chrome on webtop? I finally got ubuntu going and tried chrome. The speed of chrome just leaves me speechless on how slow Firefox is. And firefox is slower on webtop. I know im comparing intel to arm cpus and less ram but the difference is night and day.
i was at work posting this so i need to clear confusion. i got ubuntu going in virtual box on MY LAPTOP and tried chrome. it's silly how fast it is. and that's where/why i was comparing intel to arm cpus. i might change to chrome soon because firefox is letting me down lately. everyone once in awhile it hogs up my ram (i have 8gigs, btw) and i have to restart it. and i also have to clarify firefox is slow on webtop and i think chrome would be much better because of the limited 1gb of ram. i didn't know chrome could run on linux, so that's why i was asking. is there enough developer power to do it? sorry for the confusion. i get rushed at work in the blink of an eye sometimes.

Windows isn't possible, at least until someone dumps WinRT. Linux is possible as a chrooted system, but there likely will be problems. ICS will bring the 3.0.8 kernel, that might help.
if it virtual machine, i think efficiency of this is rather poor. What I suppoused - get custom ROM, like Android, but change Android (linux-based) to Ubuntu (linux-based), and customize bootloader to choose where to boot. Like i do using grub4 at desktop. My thoughts - my telephone efficient enough, like pentium 4, so i, regarding to Mhz and amount of RAM, can run Win XP like normal desktop based on P4. Amerite?

Well go ahead then. I don't think anyone is interested in that, especially considering you won't have telephony, GPU acceleration and likely sound.
Well, if you say so, I understand. And what about Ubunty. I even heard that Ubuntu dev are going to justify multicores CPU at phones with releasing Ubuntu for every 2x or 4x phones. Have you any info about it? Of course, it`s all not about any simulator, just about really booting OS.

should be possible. once if got a Native Ubuntu with Dualboot on a HTC Desire HD - the Ubuntu there uses the same Kernel like the Android (was a 2.6.x kernel) - but it needs a lot of Work from a developer that knowns the Device and Linux well to bring it to work.
But also native, a linux will works poor on a Smartphonce, because a Desktop OS is not optimised for Use with fingers - everithing is to small, so you need a pen ore use just the shell.
a VR can be funny, becaus you can install every OS and simulate a x86 architecture.
the Easyest OS is Dos (just install the App Dosbox) - makes fun to play old Lucas Art Games with SCUM Engine again)
I wanted to put a list together to compare results of build times (PLEASE, no fan boys here!). The more info you can list, the better visibility is into the amount of time it takes. I'll start with my machine, what I built and how long it took.
The important parts are processor, ram, operating system, what android os you built, any tweaks you used, and if you have a ssd hdd. And, of course total time! I will list mine in a format for easy reading:
-Sony vaio vgn-nr110
-2gb of ram at 533mhz (upgraded )
-Intel pentium dual core t2310 processor
-running ubuntu at the time. I want to say it was version 10.04(been a while)
-no ssd. Regular laptop hdd
-built cm7 for Optimus s
-used the -j4 flag on make
=approx 4-6 hours (was cleaning while it ran because I knew it would take some time)
Mine was a full build/compile from scratch. Please state whether yours is or isn't, and if you used any special tweaks, etc. Do not include sync time in the total time as that is dependent on the Internet connection and not the machine itself (most people won't, but wanted to have it in here just in case)
My purpose behind this is to get a good idea of what type of system specs perform best with building android roms. If there are any tweaks or tricks that anyone would like to contribute, that would be great too! Please try to stick to the format that I have listed for my machine to make it easier for everyone to read.
As a treat: I will have more results for everyone in a week or two on a new machine.

Aokp = 65-75 min _ simple mka bacon no -j
I try to not have anything else open not even file browser or chrome (usually it will add twenty to forty extra minutes if it's on) although these are my best estimate numbers, time results vary. I use cache and restart Ubuntu before building to let it take the lead over everything else. Building while the PC has been active for over a day seems to always take longer. Aokp has been the record holder for me. Slightly quicker than cm9.

Yes it is very important to not have any other programs open (I've even crashed my machine trying to do stuff while compiling with -j12), they will take up more RAM and more CPU time.
Thanks for the responses so far. I hope this can become a list that more people can use as a reference to tweaking their machine for building purposes. I haven't seen any sort of list around and when I do read about the amount of time it takes, I usually see an answer like "it takes however long it takes" which leads to no progress. And at the very least I believe it's cool to see what other's results are.

on Ubuntu 10.04 it takes half an hour to compile a kernel with make command without any flag.
I will compile CM7 or ICS when i have free time just for fun to see the amount of time it takes, i guess it will take 22-24 hours
I am planning to change my laptop, this thread will be a good reference for me.

Gigabyte Z68 mobo
8gb 1600 ram
Ubuntu 12 installed on a 100gb partition with 8gb swap on a Seagate Green (5900rpm) 1Tb DRIVE takes about 90 minutes to build CM9 for my Sensation.
I ordered a 120Gb OCZ Agility 3 SSD from tiger for $85 hopefully that will cut the time down significantly.

EDIT: New build times.

full_panda-eng ; make -j12 49m6.429s
reboot
full_stingray-eng ; make -j16 32m47.270s
It came in around 38 minutes on a intial build of ICS time using make -j16.
Lately It's a little longer and I've been unable to get some fresh times because I don't have great cooling and it kept overheating and resetting because of hot whether.
It can be clocked to 5GHz with proper cooling and an SSD would bring the time down, I think, but given some reported times I am more than happy with that as it means I don't have to think twice about (re)building a rom.
In testing however I think this processor did fairly poor especially when up against similar Intel and looking at the couple of Intel times here I'd say they're the ones to go with.
Notes:
I always restart before building, I found it vital to restart after a repo sync as there seems to be a memoy leak in either repo or python, I don't know whether that has been fixed yet.
Incidentally I did Start a build on an Ubuntu VM which had 3 CPU Cores assigned and 4GB Ram, It was still going after 2 Days!

Yeah, like I put the Ubuntu VM ( Virtual Machine ). That's the day I learned to build on proper hardware, I tried the VM because I was on a later Ubuntu at the time and had run into a couple of issues so I wanted to follow google's aosp instructions to the letter and rule any versioning issues out..... schrooting is a much eaiser way of using a previous disto versions binaries, this is a great article on how build android using schroot. Good If you've ever get an urge for a cupcake or a donut one day
I do use ccache, but thanks for asking. Set in the bash profile so I never forget . Not looked into whether it should be cleared down at any point, I am on a 500GB partition though so I've not hit any limits yet.

Setting up a box with the same processor. I expected to see better than 30 min builds for ICS. I will see what I come up with.
I am guessing that you were on windows and that's why you chose to go with virtual machine?
I have also read that different file systems read i/o faster/slower than others. Reference

Maybe on JellyBean, On ICS i'm not so sure about, From my very casual observations JB seems to be use a lot less ram in it build process, ICS always just touched swap from a start of about 15GB .
Like I mentioned earlier, from the reviews I read the processor is out perfomed by similar intels and a bit a flop apparently. ( I reads these reviews long after I had bought the processor ). Although I'm happy enough with it. Also I've only got a generic kernel installed so there's probably some AMD optimization to be had there if I really wanted to get into it.
I wasn't on windows at the time. I was just young, foolish It was when I was just getting started with building the sources and really didn't know any better....I still am foolish, just not as young.
Right, I'll be back in ( just over ) 30 mins :laugh: I've got a full_grouper-eng to compile.
Thanks for the link, Phoronix are a really useful resource, It's one I stumble upon now and again but always forget the name of it when I want to remember.
Using virtual box on my laptop at the time I was solo boot on windows, longest cm9 ever took was about 3 hours with dynamically resizing and was using two cores with less than 2 GB ram. Still, many things differ, I shut the whole thing down so only virtual box was running. I noticed lag when I would go web browsing so figured, why waste ram and disk space.

Build a kernel
There are fx flags and optimizations....
Edit: If on ubuntu/Linux, you may want to check that your os is recognizing more than 3gb of ram also. I've been reading that anything newer than ubuntu 10.10 or Linux kernel 2.3.something are having issues with recognizing more than approx 3gb of ram. Also, there are issues with 10.04 and optimizations of ssd drives.
Also, I think it was 10.04 that is recognized as the better ubuntu version for building android. It is possible to use a newer (3.0+) kernel and back port it to the older ubuntu. This seems to give the best results...
Putting this info here for reference and to have it in a central location.
Lol, I've read many reviews. I am trying my hardest to keep any opinions out of here and keep it geared toward facts. It appears that Linux is better at multi-threading and we should expect to see gains when building a custom kernel (non-generic) and other things to come in the future. Whereas windows will need much more tweaking. Although I don't know why you would use windows to build android anyway....

Current Config is Linux Mint 13 x64 which is based off Ubuntu 12.04 with 3.2.0.26 kernel the Ram is Present and correct, However I have come across the 3GB Ram Limit previously so I am familiar with it. I think I must have been I had an 11.04 32bit on my machine.
PAE Extensions is the feature which needs enabling to get your full quota of ram on 32bit. Here's is an Ubuntu Help Page which gives a good explaination if any one is interested
I think there is some research followed by a rebuild on my horizon Thanks for the suggestions and the thread It's proving educational. I'll let you know how I get on, at the very least post some new build times
EDIT / UPDATE
I did some research and made some tentative first steps with my Kernel Configuration.
I decided to get on the mainline and build a 3.6-rc1. I removed a number of options I know to be redundant In my case, e.g Laptop Support, Intel Support etc
My research did throw up this Gentoo Wiki With Some useful "copy/pasta" compiler optimization, they also have a more in depth guide here.
After building this new kernel and clobbering my aosp tree I did
full_grouper-eng for JRO03L and a
make -j10 which resulted in
real 49m32.493s
user 312m45.481s
sys 17m55.599s
While this is still high, it's a step in the right direction, The times are around the same length I was getting for a full_panda with -j12 previously. I'll do a direct comparison also, Kinda Makes sense
I got quiet a lot of room for Improvement and many options, Only Clock at 2.8Ghz at the Moment.
AMD Provide an FX Bulldozer Specific GCC Toolchain which Is going to be employed when the I Rebuild the Kernel again
I Plan to tweak a bit, test a bit and see If I can get the performance some where close and hopefully learn some tricks along the way If all else fails I'll Surmerge the lot in a fishtank full of cooking oil and clock it to 5GHz
UPDATE 2
Following on from the Build Above -
Full_panda-userdebug make -j16
real 32m16.986s
user 196m34.933s
sys 13m9.521s
full-eng
aosp jellybean
fx-8120, 8gb ram, 8gb swap
make -j16
real: 34m2.641s
EDIT: about to test some tweaks! will update.

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz
Hard Drive: 320GB HDD

Just added ccache. We will see on the next build if I shave some time.
I'm going to looking into building my own pc. I want this pc to be able to quickly build roms. I may also want it for gaming later on. Was just wondering if anyone has any good advice on what to get? What kinda processor, ram, etc, etc? I'll probably have a pretty good amount of spending money, so any advice on building a computer that will help me build ROM's quickly? Currently I just have a laptop that takes ~7 hours to compile roms. Thanks
Check out some CPU Benchmarks on phoronix. More cores = better.
RAM you will never have enough!
Also an SSD should speed up things.
I'd advice a linux based system. So Onboard-graphics should be ok.

I'm going to looking into building my own pc. I want this pc to be able to quickly build roms. I may also want it for gaming later on. Was just wondering if anyone has any good advice on what to get? What kinda processor, ram, etc, etc? I'll probably have a pretty good amount of spending money, so any advice on building a computer that will help me build ROM's quickly? Currently I just have a laptop that takes ~7 hours to compile roms. Thanks

Easy. Get dual boot computer. (One for Linux and another for windows. Compiling and gaming, respectively.) Get the best processor possible. 8 cores max I think. 16 gb ram should be enough. For gaming, I use a GT-500 from NIVIDIA. It can run all call of duty games and most AC games. BF4 can be run I think. (64 bit processor of course.)
Smack that thanks button If I helped!
Always make a nandroid backup before trying anything risky

i'm running on
Nvidia GTX 960 4GB Vram
Intel core i5 6600k
16GB Ram
i got about 20 FPS when run benchmark (Vellamo)
and pic is like everything is shadow except sky
any advice here ?
Currently RemixOS is stuck with the open source NVIDIA drivers (nouveau) so I don't think there's anything you can do to get it to run well on your GPU. The drivers for Intel and ATI/AMD graphics work better, so if you really want to get RemixOS working well you can try using the integrated Intel GPU if your motherboard has the port.

wow Thanks Buddy !!
i think i will wait for it
Nouveau yes, but still
Still I don't get it. The nouveau site says explicitly that they support all nvidia cards. Look at the last news entry from March 2016. They say they have full 2D/3D acceleration. So why don't we have an accelerated desktop in remix os?
It seems u will wait for very long, cause nothing is open for nvidia.

By "support" they mean that the basics are working, however just about everything the developers do is based on reverse-engineering, unlike the drivers for Intel graphics, which Intel develops themselves with help from the community, so performance is far from optimal, and sometimes things fail.

But I'm not talking about optimal performance here. I am talking about the decent 30 fps on an operating system that usually runs very fast on systems *much* slower than mine. Again, the nouveau site says they support 2D/3D hardware acceleration for all nvidia cards (since March 2016) - so where's the problem? 2D/3D hardware acceleration doesn't sound like basic support to me.

And again - everybody keeps talking about how open intel is. You can't seriously expect me to consider throwing away my graphics card. My assumption is Jide simply did not update their nouveau drivers to the latest (according to the nouveau web site). I wonder how could I do that manually...

I think that might be because the card is running on its lowest performance state, nouveau has the ability to change it but it's not enabled by default. See here: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=nouveau_try_linux316&num=1
Note that you'll need to add nouveau.pstate=1 to the boot parameters, and you might need to use the root terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1 to access, Ctrl-Alt-F7 to go back to desktop). Don't mind the fact that it's for Linux 3.16, the method only changed for Linux 4.5 and newer (RemixOS is still at 4.4.6 last I checked). Anyway, I haven't tried any of this (can't actually, my laptop uses Optimus hybrid graphics switching, which has zero support in RemixOS right now), so good luck.
Ok so I successfully added the nouveau.pstate=1 parameter and checked it via cat /proc/cmdline.
But I simply can't find the pstate file in /sys/class/drm/card0/device
I searched on several forums/articles and they all point to that file...

Check all the drm/card* files; its probably card0-eDP or something
No go
I did find the pstate file in /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate though - that's the location for the 4.5 kernel which remix os does not have. But when I tried to cat the file it would give me a read error.
I am sorry to keep insisting on this one and I think it's not the proper way to use Remix OS, but I feel a lot of people have nvidia cards and we are all just sitting here and waiting for something on behalf of Jide - and I realize there's not much they can do.

maybe i think i will sell my nvidia gpu
jk lol
Ok so I am not willing to lose hope yet. It's clear to me nouveau is not the way to go. The power states must be changed manually and they won't switch dynamically according to the GPU usage. Basically nouveau is useless at this point. They talk on their forums about the progress they are making - and it's a good effort, but as long as I have to manage the card's power states manually - it's worthless.
So then my other option would be installing the proprietary nvidia drivers. I guess nobody ever did that in remix os...
In linux it's quite easy: you just run the binary file from nvidia and you are more or less done. I could download it and try to install it in remix os but I am pretty sure there are some configuration steps that I would have to do. Anybody have any thoughts?

idk
i didn't have knowledge about this thing before
but yeah
i'll wait for good news. and hope you can solve it buddy
nvidia geforce
I have nvidia gefoce 8400gs and enything is fine expect the screen resolution , I dont know how I can change it

Hello, so how is this work? On what percentage of progress? Have you got any progress?

Yes, I have great progress. I gave up on RemixOS and looked for official alternatives like an officially supported Chromebook by Google and their partners. I bought an Acer Chromebook 14 which will receive the Google Play Store in about a month or so - and if everything goes well, I will switch my main PC with an officially Google supported Chromebox. I had enough tinkering folks. My life is better spent on actually getting things done than trying to force NVidia to write a driver for Remix OS.
