Ok guys, let's start to make this possible.
I have tried installing RemixOS on VirtualBox.
When i put it as Linux 2.6 64bits it kind of boots and gets stuck on boot Animation.
It is a good start.
Let's make this possible!

Choose 64bit and Linux(Other)
Is there anyway of not getting stuck on boot animation when using resident mode? Thanks in advance

Perhaps my post can help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/how-to-install-remix-os-virtualbox-to-t3301160 :
You need to format the empty virtual disk with an ext4 and a swap partition in advance. This can be done by installing Ubuntu and stopping the installation after the 2 partitions have been created.
The second thing you need is a modified iso file which lets you start a "real" Remix OX installation.
working. kind of
I started by taking two hard disks. both 16 gb. THen, a fresh windows 10 home single language install from the microsoft website went on the first. they have an easy media creator.. and no, you won't need a key. (you only need windows for a second.)
. I added the second drive as drive D: within windows.
then i downloaded and followed the remix os instructions and ran the installer for the hard drive d:.
it took a long time first boot. i gave it 2 cores and 2.5Gb ram. if you can afford more.. do it. it took about 1.5 hours. mostly due to remix os initializing he disk.. and even though it had 16gb of space, looks like i provisioned 6Gb... wierd. but the os is light. snappy. it has a terminal with bash...
seems pretty beta like.. don't click on widgets.. the init will reset and all of your apps will close.
i still have not gotten play services on yet. i just downloaded the latest apk from the blog on the main JIVE website under FAQ.
installed... working.. connected, semi stable and useable. now to get play services started.
Very slow here

I have installed the 32 bits version,I get it in they site, but it's slow, is like it is rendering frame per frame, I think is because GPU or something, I tried differents resolutions with vga=ask boot command, but nothing change. Otherwise I have downloaded a VDMK disk with Remix OS installed, and that running perfectly, but I can't use superuser on it.
I'm from Brazil, Sorry for any error on english

When you boot up press "e" to edit the boot info, place DEBUG=2 into the script after 'androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64' so it looks like 'androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 DEBUG=2' hit F10 (softly)
Debug boot should begin.
Type exit when prompted, ignore any warnings that might come up concerning hardware not being picked up, type "exit" when prompted to do so to move on. After a few times typing "exit", does an error like this continue to roll up your screen: "init: Couldn't probe module 'net-pf-16-proto-5' "? :fingers-crossed:

A quick question. Are there any other drives connected?
You could try actually install it onto your SSD from the boot up.. Your SSD would need 2 partitions though.. One is FAT32 (around 3GB large) and the other can be FAT32 or NTFS, it wont make a difference. If you want to know how to do the install from boot then just send a reply asking.
I have just tried with a different machine and I'm getting a full SELinux error. I doubt that there is anything that we would do.. (I'm not pro enough to go reading through the actual OS files... ) Not all PC's are supported unfortunately. Mine is not, I have had better luck running Remix OS in Virtual Box, well... before the latest release at least. Now I'm getting errors that seem to have been around since Android_x86 project began.
Another option would be to try the Legacy version if your motherboard is able to boot legacy. (Sorry, have not tried looking at your MoBo)
My advice (which I am also following) would be to be patient and just hold out for a while. Until the next update comes along for us to try.
More support is intended on being added with every release.
all my files is in a fat32 partitions and work on my laptop is just my pc ... wont works
Are there any other drives connected?
yes i have 4 drive with my pc
If it is working on your laptop then settle with that for now.
No, not other drives would be recommended, just saw them in the debug at the beginning.
The error that seems to be coming up for you and I (this is as far as I understand) has to do with kernel security settings as to what to allow on boot. The issue can arise when certain files have not been given the policy labels that they require to run. So they effectively get denied constantly. This is likely where a lot of the added hardware support will sort things out... I'm also running an NVidia Card.. could be the drivers needed..(although that would not explain why VM's don't work)
Sorry that I cannot help you mate.. This is going too deep into the realm that I know little about when it comes to the actual stuff. I follow instructions when having to make a change to my Linux distro.
I do envy you having the latest version working on a device. My laptop wont boot for me either.
You could try the Andriod_x86 forums and see what the common threads are. Seeing as Jide is using android_x86 as a base.
If anyone else knows more and is able to shed light on the matter, please do so? I am also up to correction on my statements.
I asked the same question on other forums and on google group

I know its not an answer to your question, but have you tried the new 2 February version? I have got it working in VirtualBox atm.
Hi all,
I have been given the task of turning 10x 'Fizzbook Spin' laptops into device a preschool could use.
I have windows 10 working but it is slow and have decided to look into the android route, this runs faster but also has many more apps for young children available. I installed Remix OS onto the laptop without issue (1.6Atom + 1Gb RAM) but have a couple of questions.
1. Can I install Remix OS without windows or any other operating system? I would like for them to turn the laptop on and it boots straight in to Remix.
2. As it is for pre-schoolers I would like to use this as a tablet type device, whereas tapping or swiping on the screen would act like an android tablet and not move the mouse cursor.
Is the above possible? If not does anyone have any recommendations for an android type operating system I could put on this device which would work in this manner?
Thank you very much for any advice
Darren

About #1: Yes, you could.
Instead of installing with the official installer, flash Remix OS with it to a flash drive, and from Grub, press tab and replace what is written with "install=1 debug=" (important: "debug=" has nothing following it), and follow the instructions (I recommend creating and installing to an ext4 partition).
About #2: I have no idea, perhaps there is something in build.prop, I remember people talking about a line set to false, with "box" in it.
By the way, don't you want to try Phoenix OS?
It's supposed to be more stable.
And you could always try the original Android-x86.

Thanks for the reply,
I'm kinda new to this so don't know much linux
Phonenix OS I've seen about but didn't know which was more stable, I will try it tonight.
I've been assigned as the 'dad who knows about computers' at my sons nursery so they offload all the technical stuff off to me and ask if I can "make it work"
Just need to make it simple and easy for a 3yr old to play colouring games and ABC learning games on

Don't worry, I know exactly what it feels like, except in my case, it is "the older brother who is an expert in computers" at my sister's school, althoigh I'm no expert, but a computer passionist.
However, I do use Linux on my desktop, since it's much better than Windows in almost every way.
Unfortunately, there are many day-to-day apps on Windows that don't have an up to par Linux equivalent, unless you only use Latin-based languages, and possibly(?) slavic ones as well, no idea about far-east ones, though.
1. Can I install Remix OS without windows or any other operating system? I would like for them to turn the laptop on and it boots straight in to Remix.
Suggestion:
Use Windows to install Remix
Use EasyBCD to modify the boot default to Remix and set timeout to 2 seconds. It appears to boot directly to Remix
2. As it is for pre-schoolers I would like to use this as a tablet type device, whereas tapping or swiping on the screen would act like an android tablet and not move the mouse cursor.
Suggestion:
Use this method to disable the touchpad

Worked for me in same situation
Sent from my on Z00A using XDA Labs
Just as the title says, I'm curious if there exists a touch (or hardkey, i.e. volume up/down and windoes key) enabled bootloader.
Currently i have to press arrow keys and enter to select either windows or android.
Is there such a thing? It would be amazing. Id rather not have to stop at the keyboard to boot to an os from grub.
Thanks in advance!
Well .. I had suffered from this problem for longtime and finally I solved by an app called android-x86 installer it's the only way to boot from your Windows tablet without keyboard at last what I ended up with .. so yo have to download an old version I recommend the ALPHA version and install it with android-x86 installer 2.4 UEFI version after finished installing you have to download the latest version of remix OS and extract with 7zip or winrar then replace all file with the same name in folder androidOS that the direction of ALFA you already installed now You can boot with two ways either from settings/update / recovery and then press restart now at advanced startup then after reboot choose "use a device " and last thing chose android OS wait 9 seconds in grub2 an finally the remixOS will boot or by simply choose android OS from boot menu by volume Up/down
Boot solution for XPS 12 9250
Will thank you for this post when my 'Thanks!' get replenished on XDA. I'm still only using windows 10 on this tablet PC.
It is not clear to me is this is dual boot Android/Windows, my understanding is that this particular usage of the Linux grub bootloader only boots to Remix OS which is android. Grub, as you know does have dual boot capabilities, but maybe not yet on the XPS 12 9250.
Sorry, but the instructions are not step-by-step details for me, and I seem to be not smart enough to follow them. Could you point me to a 1..., 2..., 3.... please?
Please update or PM me whenever you feel you have found a better boot solution for our 9250's. I will be most grateful.

Grub can chainload the entry just fine. And when using the official tool it auto-adds an entry if it detects Windows is installed, which it will be as it's a windows tool [unless running via wine] it'll add an entry for it.
Without the tool you can do it manually. Personally I have a second easy to access efi partition that I use, if you want to do the same download a partition manager like minitool and confirm that you have 16MB of unallocated space between your efi and C: drive and I'll dig up a post/walk you through the rest tomorrow

Very excited to pursue this, but this week is filled with close family coming here to stay for our only holiday celebration. Will post back here when I get that unallocated space, after creating a backup of the current system. May use Gparted, but will check out minitool as well.
Walk through, dual boot Remix OS + Win10 on XPS 12 9250
@HypoTurtle
Waiting on a second USB-C to USB cable so I can boot a Macrium Reflect flash drive and backup a restorable PC image to an external Hard drive. After I'm sure I can restore this image I'll try to install Remix OS.
This youtube link is straightforward and simple to follow for the dual boot installation process. I've seen many reporting hardware/software issues on the many XDA forum threads branching off of "Remix OS for PC". So obviously one size does not fit all. Compiling and replacing different Linux kernels, editing grub.cfg, initrd.img, system.img, data.img.... The very worse thing on xda forums are ignorant end-user whiners like me who want instant gratification with their perfectly working phone or tablet. This vast forum has so many xda-developers, steeped in code, gaining and sharing trial and error knowledge. So many thousands of threads where xda-developers are taken for granted to lay solutions into end-user's laps. So many of us end-users are oblivious to this baby sitting. I will try the time consuming and painstaking learning curve. The least knowledgeable member on xda-forums should try to learn and not be spoon fed. It is essential, whatever our capacity, to all become developers interested in expanding the usefulness of our devices over and above the limited and constrained manufacturer's parameters.
Hi XDA community, since I don't have enough power to land this on other forums I choose here.
First, this is my disclaimer:
Please try this at home at your own risk, the steps performed on this guide worked for me and may work for you.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But come on, this is XDA, you will figure it out without problems.:fingers-crossed:
Second, the good thing about this is you only need 3 ingredients:
Old tablet, The HP Stream 7 tablet SPECS
Precious Disk Space :victory:
Sweet Internet
W00t? no USB or Keyboard required? Yes, that's why it took me a while to glue the pieces together. Now, here we go:
I suggest to download PhoenixOS (November Release v1.1.2-226), because it worked for me immediately, I have an issue with RemixOS that I didn't try to fix it yet, I got stuck on the "Select Language" screen, but the steps may work for you.
Now, free disk space on your tablet, I did the upgrade to Windows 10 a while back and I had almost 1GB left on C, that's ridiculous because the drive has 20GB-ish, so, I google (yes, you need to do your homework too because I did the steps on the fly) how to recover space from the greedy Windows 10 OS, I removed a lot of useless info/cache/downloads/apps/etc and even compressed the Windows binaries (yes, you can do that). Concerned about Windows performance? be not, it works faster than ever. After the next steps this may seem useless but free space is free space, you'll need it later on life.
After all that dark magic, I was able to reclaim 10GB-ish, yeah!, but then realized I had 8GB more on the tablet "lost", this is the recovery partition for Windows 10, now, this is something that you may think of because you can get rid of all that info and reclaim what is yours, that partition is for you, but maybe you wont so this is one of these life choices. I did, I don't care about recovery stuff, most of my gadgets have custom ROMs or OSes. Used Minitool Partition Wizard Free and managed to reclaim the precious Disk Space.
Important thing here, some users Shrink the drive C to create a new partition, I didn't, used the 8GB partition instead.
We have Disk Space available, now, we prepare the operations table:
Disable Bitlocker on the drive you want to install the new OS.
Disable Secure Boot, power off the device and press Power+VolDown for a few seconds until you're on the BIOS.
Boot on Windows and install the Android OS flavor you want, I'll split the installation in two because for RemixOS is harder.
NOTE: Remember that grub doesn't support touch and both Android OSes grub have Windows as first OS to boot and kids, there is the key.
PhoenixOS
Download the OS
Extract it and run the installer
Select install to Hard Drive and install it on the Drive desired (I did that on E: which is the 8GB partition).
Restart and let the system do the job, you'll land on Windows again.
In Windows, as you read on the NOTE, we need to change grub.
Open Windows Powershell ISE in Admin mode (yeah yeah, yo can use whatever you want)
Then execute the command
Code:
mountvol B: /s
With this you'll be able to see the contents from the UEFI partition
Now, remember to select view all files, with WPISE open the grub.cfg file located on
Code:
B:\EFI\PhoenixOS\
Put the Windows entry below the PhoenixOS entry, change the grub timeout to 3 or whatever timeout you want, this change is for faster boot, save the file and you're ready to go.
Restart the system, press Power+VolDown -> F9, Select the PhoenixOS, let grub do the magic and you win
Notes about PhoenixOS
Phoenix OS installation, straight-forward on the 8GB partition
Needed to change Grub but friendlier than RemixOS
Keyboard behaves weird, you need to be accurate when using your fingers
When using browser and playing videos the tablet heats up hard
Rotation is wrong, I selected not to use rotation so I can use the UI without problems
Is fast, Wireless work
Something I saw one time is it got stuck when showing my user recently booted, restarted the device and then it worked again.
Video after the break.
Veredict: It works for me and can play with Android in a tablet without the need to buy another.
RemixOS
It supposed to have more support for things but looks like PhoenixOS has more . Not going to start a war here, I always try to find what suits best for me .
RemixOS is a pain on this tablet with the newest November 2016 version, I need to play more and harder.
You do almost the same as PhoenixOS, the installer is easy as well but it shows you an installation issue the first time, you need to restart the device and try the installation again. After that it was a game of try and fail but I sorted out the pieces.
Restart and you'll be on Windows again, well, let the system land on Windows and modify grub, kind of same as PhoenixOS:
Open Windows Powershell ISE in Admin mode
Then execute the command
Code:
mountvol B: /s
With this you'll be able to see the contents from the UEFI partition
Now, with WPISE open the grub.cfg file located on
Code:
B:\boot\grub\
Remember to select view all files
Put the Windows entry below the RemixOS entries, save the file, change the timeout and you're ready to go.
For RemixOS you also need to change the timeout for the theme.cfg file on
Code:
B:\EFI\RemixOS\
Restart the system, press Power+VolDown -> F9, Select the OS Bootloader, let grub do the magic (after some errors, just let it be) and you win (see, no hands mom!), well, sort of because it freezes :silly:.
I'll try to do more tests with RemixOS and see what happens.
Is this guide enough for you, not? blame the Internet or leave your comments.
Enjoy.
Thanks for the info.
I'm not getting any sound with PhoenixOS. WiFi is OK but sound & Bluetooth is not functional. Any suggestions ?
I've experimented with RemixOS as well...... sound works but it's very laggy and touch-screen / rotation is unresponsive. PhoenixOS is very stable and far far better but no sound :crying:

Could you please explain the installation instructions?
Any news? I tried newest phoenix, but it´s way too heavy for it. Runs very slow. The older lollipop works better. The touchscreen is more a problem, it´s like a tablet from hell, very bad sensitivity.
The "Trekstor Surftab Xintron i 7.0" should be the same hardware and has android, so there could be a way to install this or at least use the touchscreen drive in phoenix. But I´m afraid of bricking it.
