Surface Pro 4? Hows it run ? - Remix OS for PC

Does anyone know how well this runs on a sp4 i5? windows 10 in tablet mode is driving me nuts. Remix OS and all the touch optimized android apps it brings would make this into the perfect device for me

The new remix os beta might be able to support touchscreen, not sure though. Lets wait till its out

Same as everyone above,
I'm running a SUrface Pro 4 i7 256gb 8gb Ram device.
I couldn't get this to boot from anything other than a USB drive, got stuck because of the single USB slot so plugged in a USB port extender and plugged mouse and keyboard to that and that all started working fine. Surface keypad and touch screen functions don,t work. Also the resolution is silly small but aside from that everything else seemed fine. Hoping the beta which rolls out today might address some of this but likely not.
My current challenge is to get remix os to boot from the internal hard-drive or the micro-sd i have plugged in at the back to keep the USB port free.

I am sure it would work out soon...
It makes sense to install it on the internal card...difficult to handle a a tablet with an ugly usb drive protruding from it...unlike a desktop pc....XD

exactly! I was just happy to get it working first time round.

Runs incredibly awesome and fast on my surface pro 3. Installed on the ssd. I5 128gb 4gb. 230k antutu. If its any consolation. And on my venue 11. I5 4300y, 4gb 128gb, I actually have it installed on the micro SD. A 128gb 80mbs. Don't know why, but the venue can boot it from the micro SD, not the surface, or my onda dualos v919, or my teclast x98 pro. Weird.

That's really interesting. To be fair, microsoft only just managed to fix the bag warmer bug on the SP4 so likely some drivers on it might just be to new age.
In other news Remix OS beta is out with suport for installation on an internal drive. I found a post about how to do this manually but glad they have it baked into their install. No gurantee it will work though. Will update here once im done. http://www.jide.com/en/remixos-for-pc

Hopefully the newest beta will actually work. At work at the moment so can't test it with my SP4 yet. Been running AMIDuOS instead but it doesn't have great performance.

Simple question, how did you install it on your MicroSD card ? I'm having trouble installing it while keeping my second partition, basically I have an Asus T100 with limited SSD storage, so I'm trying to get RemixOS installed on one partition of my MicroSD card for dual boot while keeping my Windows data (files, movies...) on another partition. Any ideas ? I know there's this thing about only the active partition showing up in Windows, so a second partition won't show up in Windows (I have to do it from Linux).

Posting from the SP4 running the beta. Its good keyboard works, managed to boot from the internal partition i setup. No touchscreen support but typecover now works and the touchpad although buggy also works. i would use a usb mouse. Trying to change the resolution now doesnt recognise high res display on surface pro 4. Will post with updates.

I thing RemixOS currently doesn't recognize touchpad buttons, if you don't try to use them (as buttons), it works well, at least for me.

well, when I launched the "now old" alpha usb installer, it allows me to select my sd card, on all the tablets actually, but only the venue actually boots from the sd card... Not sure why, if there's anything I can run, or get more information for you on it, let me know. I actually only got 130k on the alpha on my surface pro 3, sorry about the typo. I installed the beta today, and well, ITS EVEN FRICKIN BETTER, lol. Everything works (except the type cover, lol, and thats the only thing working on the sp4, lol). I mean everything works. Even the windows button works and brings up the remix menu. I'm getting 160k on antutu on the beta. Only problem is, when I'm dual booting and I get the 30 second screen to choose an OS, I can't pick one, unless I have my usb wireless dongle in and my little air mouse/keyboard at the ready, then I can choose with that controller. I guess I could change the default to android, but I use windows 10 x64 too. I had to use windows to root android, with the rmx tools. Anyway, the beta is buttery smooth on the sp3. All apps working except maps, just locks up when I launch it. Audio, bluetooth, wireless 2.4 and 5.0, multitouch, windows haptic button, rotation, battery meter, volume and power buttons, front and back cameras and accelerated graphics all working perfectly. Its totally awesome, this is a super fast android/windows dual OS tablet now!!!

Hey all, just put the beta only maindektop and my venue. The desktop get 193k antutu i7 5820k @ 4ghz 16gb ddr4 256 m.2 m600 ssd. The venue gets 103k on the internal ssd, will bench on SD card later. Now installing on surface 3 (non pro cherry trail z8700), onda v919 air dual os (baytrail-t), and teclast x98 pro (cherry trail z8500). Not sure why my desktop and the venue's scores are so low. I haven't rooted and installed kernel auiditor yet though. Oh, and I'll bench the beta on my dell studio 15 7537 touchscreen lappy later too, i7 4500u, 16gb ddr3 256gb msata ssd 1gb geforce 750mand I'll bench it on my chuwi hi8 (cherry trail z8300). I'm like totally benchmark crazy right now, don't have anything better to do though. I could also put it on my lenovo miix 2 8 and my unbranded 10 inch (best buy brand), but I'm not sure what the point would be. I have 3 nexus 7s, 2 -2013s and 1 2012, I could install the arm version on the 2013s to compare with. I've got that lenovo g460 1st gen i5 560m, geforce 310m, 8gb ddr3 I picked up for $37 (most of what I have, I bought broken, and fixed it). I could go on, but I'm probably boring everybody. I'll let you know the results soon.
as far as why the beta works so well with the surface pro 3 and not with the SP4, I have no idea, it has similar hardware.
The surface pro 3 and the venue are running their full resolutions on the remix beta. Battery life is better than windows 10 x64 on both too.
Ill put it on my surface 3 and I have an old surface pro 1 lying around and let you know the results. I buy a lot of broken stuff and fix it. You should see my stack of phones, mostly s4 and s5, but I've got some others too. Seriously gadget ocd, lol. I'm posting on the venue 7130 vpro right now, not as buttery as the surface, but still snappy. Multi touch works, Bluetooth, WiFi 5.0 and 2.4 work, vibration works, windows button works, sound works, volume and power buttons work, battery meter works, maps works too, unlike the sp3. Rotation is about the only thing not working, but does on the sp3.
I was digging amiduos lollipop for a while, but yea, you just don't get the performance of running it natively. Although my desktop was getting way over 200k on antutu with it, but some things can only be run natively due to virtual machine limitations. I think this beta and the phoenix beta blow any virtual android machine away. I've run some marshmallow ones too, they just don't cut it for me.

Well, I went out and picked up another surface pro keyboard. I got the one that is backlit. The box says surface pro type cover. I didn't think it was any different than the one I already have. But...., this one works with remix, and the other doesn't. Anyway, the keyboard does work, but the trackpad doesn't work at all in remix, both work fine in windows. Also, I have maps working on my sp3. I had to go into settings and click on "let maps use full screen" and now its working. So to recap, everything on the surface pro 3 is working pretty much flawlessly with the remix beta. The front and rear cameras are a little laggy, but that's about it, oh, and the trackpad on the type cover isnt working. but bluetooth, wifi 5.0 and 2.4, rotation, vibration, windows button, surface pro stylus, battery meter, resolution, power and volume buttons, 10 point multi-touch and standby are all working very well. I'm not sure about display brightness as I haven't located where I can adjust it. Anybody know?

Thanks for the answer !
After some trials and research, I have found out that there's no way to boot from external sd card from my tablet (BIOS doesn't load it up before Windows boot). I could install RemixOS on my tablet's hard drive, but I won't be able to detach my keyboard which contains the HDD then. I have also tried the method that involves using grub2win, but for the same reasons at boot my grub2win installation isn't detected. I might try with putting it on my integrated SSD, and telling it to then look for RemixOS on my microSD when I have time, but for now it's a nope apparently.
I'll still try live booting the beta though, looks awesome !

Viewsonic Viewpad 10

Anyone have the new dual boot viewpad 10? I have one and loaded the New Update Andriod 2.2 for it but the Back key doesn't work. The wifi is not working correct.
Is there anyway to load drivers for this or is there other problems?
Thank you.
By the way I have opened mine up.
It now has 2GB Ram 64GB hard drive and soon built in GPS with Active patch Ant. You can also install the 3G modem if you like. All that is missing is the modem and Ant. Sims Card slot is there.
You make me want to sell my gtab and pick up one of these. Or just bite the bullet and give the gtab to the g/f and get a vpad for myself.

Couple of questions, my wife has a ViewPad 10:
- where did you get the Android 2.2 update? Was this from Viewsonic?
- do you know of a source for the mini-vga cable?
Thanks.

hmm... i'm surprised that there's actually a variant of 64GB SSD for this model because i could've sworn it only came w/ a 32GB SSD max built in for the VPad10... where'd you get your VPad10? also if memory serves... doesn't this tablet run on an intel pine trail processor and chipset (hence the win7 dual boot)? and where'd you get the froyo update? if i recall, current non ARM based processors only support up to android 1.6 (unless there's a ROM out there built from the ground up that runs on intel's hardware)

i don't think this was one of those frankenstein DIY upgrades since the VPad10 already comes w/ the specs mentioned
and while everything does sound great on paper, how's the battery life on it?

I was thinking the same on the 64 gig and was wondering how they did if they did that
There is an unofficial 2.2 update from Viewsonic that was released quite some time ago for the Viewpad 10.

[Q] Dell Latitude t02g - (ST) (Slate/Tablet)

Hello Guys,
I have bought a Dell Latitude t02g Table. The specs looks great - Windows 7 Pro - 1.5ghz atom processor, 2 GB Ram, 64GB SSD.
I think the specs are great but its just too damn sluggish when i run facebook or any flash games on it. very unresponsive on normal browsing.
I think this tablet can be great on Google Android x86 platform but After doing a lot of research - I see that people have installed LUBUNTU on it or windows 8 on it and are in a compromised situation. Where Windows 8 has blue screens and etc and moving on Lubuntu, has limited the functionality of he hardware graphics and rotations.
So much money paid for a device that promises a lot and so much disappointment .
I just wish if we could have a forum for this device where the XDA Team can make something super for this device - maybe an android port over that fully works and makes teh tablet smooth like other tablets.
Do you think there is something already out there that has fixed the tablet and makes it shine like a star as advertised? or will there be further enhancements on this and i can wait for it?
Or should i just sell it off for literally peanuts and forget about it
Any help/ hints would be great.
Thanks
AJ
delldell latitude 10 st2
I also wanted to know if for the dell latitude 10 st2 there was solution?
Try the latest windows. That's what I did. To make good use out of it. I installed Kodi n hooked it up to my TV via HDMI worked well. N then sold after a few weeks. Let me know how it goes
There's a fork of android for x86 architecture (http://www.android-x86.org/ ). Some year or two ago I tried few of provided builds but with mixed success. The issues is that bundled drivers are either generic and performance is bad, or different builds have different modules working ( like WiFi but no sound or sound but no WiFi)
It's not that difficult to get two kernel .config files from two most "working" builds and merge them together and build a new kernel, but the process itself is very time consuming (you have to compare files option by option manually, automerge is not an option in this case)
Builds were tegav2, asus_laptop and eeepc
Looks like http://www.android-x86.org/ project moved quite far since that time so maybe you want to give it a try. It's rather brick-safe and you can always go back to Windows/Linux.
Speaking of which, right now my ST has Win10 installed, but performance is bad. I'm thinking of installing clean ubuntu (from Minimal CD) with i3 WM to get maximum out of that hardware. On other laptop with similar specs such setup looks very promising

Windows 10 tablets?

I'm fully aware this site is mainly android & windows phones. I'm just looking for someone that might be able to fix an app that was released for windows 8 pc's. It's called Touchpal, it was put out in Windows 8 but was dropped. It's a swipe feature & is badly needed for us tablet users. I have been able to get the program running by installing & running it in Windows 8 compatibility mode. Everything about the keyboard works except for the swipe function.
I'm wondering if anybody might be willing to take this task on & see if they can get it to work properly, seems like it might not be that hard to accomplish for anybody that knows what they are doing.
Anyways, thanks in advance & please message me if you need any info on the app.
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum, I just couldn't find a place that this might catch someones attention. If you have to move it that's fine, just let me know where you moved it to.
Hi !
I've bought one of those cheap Chinese 10" tablets with quad core Intel Atom processor, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage, micro SD slot, micro HDMI output, micro nano SIM card slot, micro USB plug, front and rear camera, and protective magnetic cover with integrated keyboard and trackpad.
They exist in either Android or Windows 8.1 versions. I obviously bought the Windows 8.1 version (not even used at all, I hate it), immediately upgraded it to Windows 10 and it works a breeze.
You'll just have to allow all upgrades to be made to windows 8.1 until you're prompted to upgrade. Once done, I immediately erased the 8.1 recovery files to make room, good bye and good riddance, job done. ^^
Check Out Lenovo Yoga 900 it's support Windows 10
Microsoft Surface Pro 4 ,Microsoft Surface 3 Dell Venue 8 Pro all these are good option
I like - Lenovo Miix 700

The reason is because Jide has left the consumer market, and had completely stopped supporting their consumer products.
Now they only work with enterprises.
Try Phoenix OS instead.

To say the truth, I had not gotten the chance to check Phoenix OS lately.
However, since you have a BayTrail CPU (those did not get much supportĺ I think that you're better off with the Android-X86 LOS or standard Linux (I highly recommend Solus, and the GNOME 3 UI has great support for touch displays), and even then, you will need to compile some of the drivers yourself (such as the touch driver for the screen, until you do so, you will absolutely have to connect a mouse and keyboard).

Thank you so much. I am checking your recommendations as i type this.
My other problem is the 1GB Ram. Which one of those you think will work best.
I am planning on connecting it via HDMI to my TV and running just 1 android app (hmdi audio/video is all i need). I don't care about touchscreen support.

With only 1 GB of RAM, I highly recommend using Android-x86's LOS 15.1 (you will still need to compile the touch driver for the screen, and probably other drivers as well, including audio and HDMI.
Thanks...will let u know how it goes.
Sent from my mobile device
You were right. I wasn't able to find LOS 15.1 but did boot 14.1 and though it did reboot on its own twice, it did finally load. It was however very slow.
I tried it on the TW801 which has 2GB Ram and it was more fluid. Touchscreen​ did work and so did Wifi. Hdmi audio was the bummer.
I have officially given up installing android on the TW700.....I don't think tje tablet is capable of running it well and even if it did.... HDMI audio will be a lost cause.
Thanks for your help....i appreciate it and at least I did finally got to see android on it.

Wait, how about you try running a standard Linux distribution on it?
You may still need to compile the drivers, however there is a higher chance that things will work properly after running updates and rebooting without any compilations.
I tried ubuntu live...slow on the 700 better on the 801. I ordered an Android box..... should receive it today. Lol

And this was Ubuntu 18.04, correct?
I tried 16.04.4 64 bit

Why such an old version?
18.04 has a much newer kernel (I think 4.14 or 4.15), and as such, has a much higher chance of working properly with your hardware (you may still need to compile drivers, however it's not too hard when people have already prepared the code and instructions for you), plus, it uses GNOME rather than Unity (which is discontinued by Canonical), which is at version 3.28, a release that brought many optimizations to system resources, so it should run more smoothly.
Also, when installed, it'll be be much faster, since the internal NAND is much faster than a USB drive, partly because of the fact that it ustilizes the SATA protocol, rather than the USB protocol, and partly because the chip is just way faster.
I thought that my limitation is the poor processor and the RAM. If I had a celeron it would fly.
These tablets are only good for the operating system they came with from the factory.

While an Atom processor is certainly no fun (I have an old Dell Inspiron mini 1018, so I know how it feels), it can be faster than you think.
That old laptop (it was also my first laptop) has a single core Atom CPU, from the N series (the N455), and I was running it with Windows 7.
While it does not have an OS right now (I accidentally broke the keyboard connector on the motherboard while testing RAM sticks for work (I volunteered to do this), and salvaged the hard drive for my desktop (I have 12 hard drives, and 10 trays, 2 of which are are for 2.5" drives. The hard drives were all, save for one, which was bought second hand together with the computer (the case was bought seperately), salvaged from old PCs that people had thrown away), it runs alright on Ubuntu (and slightly better on Solus), however you have a quad-core Atom, which also generates less heat (so less throttling), so it will run much better.
I am not saying that the OS will fly, after all, it does not have a core i3 CPU, however it will outperform your expectation.
Thanks. Today I can't wait to get home to the Android box being delivered.
When I get some time....i will try to load 18.04 and report back. Thanks again.

new second screen via wifi + windows 10 not working

is it possible, that the new 2nd screen functionality with the new OneUI 3 only works with Samsung Notebooks? whatever I try, it's not working with my razer. I do see the tablet and as soon as I try to connect the s7 as second screen, the tablet gets black for a few seconds and then it's back, nothing happened and windows 10 says, it was unable to connect.
please let me know, if you have similar issues.
thanks

It works on non-Samsung PCs.
I have a Dell Inspiron that supports wireless display. Works fine connecting to my Tab S7.
Make sure Windows is up to date and your display drivers are as well.

thanks for testing. can you please tell me, which windows version you are using? are you on stable or insider? because everything is up to date on my side, that's why I am very disappointed. thanks.

Insider build.
Windows 10 Insider Preview 21301.1000 (rs_prerelease)
not working, like a friend of mine who has the same problem. I now switched to https://superdisplay.app/ - works perfectly without any issues and has more features
it doesn't work for me too
Nope, just noticed 2 days ago that it doesn't work for me either. I'm on Windows 10 Pro, an HP 15t. I first suspected that all the anti-tracking and privacy tweaks I've done are responsible, but now reading this forum I'm not sure.
Here are my system specs...
Not sure what magic sauce it has, but it connects to my Tab S7 perfectly.
Similar system to mine... with Second Screen going on my tablet, windows will show my tablet in the Connect list, but just can't connect to it.
Running Windows 10 Home 19041 and this is working perfect for me. Windows + K brings it up and i am already running extended monitor and it just starts right up. I mind you no use on my desktop but great for drawing on stuff on the screen.
I also have SuperDisplay and while this works fine I have ran into a few problems with it and once or twice it messed up my resolution. Great app but I do like the simplicity of it built into the tablet now.
Going to download Windows 10 ver 20XX and see if this breaks it.
SuperDisplay is by far the best option for using the tab as secondary monitor.
It runs much smoother than Samsung's second screen and looks a lot better. Plus it supports 120hz over wifi with barely any lags. Over USB lags are non existant.
Just need play around with the resolution a little bit the first time you use the app to find the perfect settings that match your main display. Once this is done, simply launch the app and your tablet automatically turns into a second screen - much quicker and reliable than Samsung's second screen feature.
I'm actually impressed with 2nd screen on my dell inspiron, wish it support 2k though. No connection issues and the only thing I wish is that I could bring the keyboard up on the tablet, much better than remote desktop when just using the table as the only screen and touch input.
