I installed Remix 2.0 (32-bit) onto my Dell Mini 10 (1012) netbook. So far, everything seems to be detecting perfectly, except for one thing. The touchpad is supposed to be multi-touch but it doesn't function as such. It is worth mentioning that, on Windows, I required special driver software to be able to utilize the multi-touch capability. Considering I've seen some Chromebooks automatically have their multi-touch touchpads detected, I figured Remix would do the same for my Dell. That doesn't seem to be the case.
Anyway, if any of the Jide developers are reading this, I have the driver software available for you. Follow this link. The software was developed for Windows 7 by Elantech (ELAN Microelectronics Corp.) but is being supplied by Dell. The one the Dell Mini 10 has is a Capacitive Touchpad (Smart Pad).
Hi
I can't get passed the splash screen on my Dell mini. Was your install straight forward?

Are you trying to run off USB, or install onto the internal hard drive? Make sure you're using the 32-bit version, as the 64-bit wouldn't boot for me.
FYI, as you may know, the Mini doesn't like any HD video, so unfortunately very few Android games will run properly.
Thanks for getting back to me. I tried installing on hard drive via Linux using the most recent beta. I've upgraded the ram to 2gig and installed an ssd but not sure if that would cause issue.

I used 2GB RAM and an SSD as well. So that shouldn't be an issue. But the procedure I used was different than simply installing it onto the hard drive with another computer.
Don't install using a separate operating system. It doesn't seem to work that way. You need to load it onto a USB and install onto the hard drive using the Mini. The procedure for this is, when you come to the Guest/Resident mode screen, you press TAB, then add "INSTALL=1" to the end of the grub command. This will bring up the android-x86 install menu, which will allow you to install the OS onto the hard drive the same way as using another computer. Make sure the SSD is formatted to NFTS and is completely empty prior to doing this. You can alternatively try formatting it to EX4 instead.
When prompted, install GRUB, do not install GRUB2, install debug (wont work w/o idk why). Unfortunately, you will be left with the maximum internal storage after the install, so you need to go back and use the IMGTools procedure to enlarge data.img to whatever size you want your internal storage to be.
Thats what worked for me, anyway.
That worked brilliantly, thanks very much. Have you had any success with dual boot after intalling Remix first?

Haven't tried it. But if you use a NTFS format, you should easily be able to shrink the partition after install. You would also need to edit the GRUB menu to choose which OS you want to boot with, which I have no experience doing. However, I know the new beta version of Remix does have an install tool that does this for you. So if you were intending to dual boot Remix/Windows, then it is possible to install Windows first.
Hello everyone,
I am having trouble with the new version of Remix OS 2 Beta.
I am running a 64 bit machine, and downloaded the correct version. I used the installation tool (not the original usb tool, but the one that allows you to install to the C drive) and it appeared that everything was installed correctly "BUT". When i boot i get the two options (Windows 10, Remix OS). I choose the Remix OS option, and it gives me an error (remixos/kernel error). So, i did some research and it says that the os might not recognize that i have a 64 bit machine. I then proceeded with the same installation but 32 bit this time since it should allow me to use that version if i have a 64 bit machine right? It allows me to boot, but then stays in limbo on the ASUS boot screen until i restart. any suggestions.
Have the same exact issue. Are you booting with legacy or efi

Take the intrid.img from the Android x86 project of 5.1.1 and replace that on the usb before install. Worked for me. Rinning Beta 64bit now wheni could only run 32bit before.

Run it off the USB. When option comes for resident or guest hit tab and add to the line (or e for edit) INSTALL=1
I have a 64 bit machine and it installed fine. I don't think I had to change any setting from the installer. Wouldn't work with the alpha but the beta installed and booted right up. When it was installing there was like an 8 minute timeframe where it seemed it wasn't doing anything and my monitor (an hd tv) was getting no signal but I just let it keep running and finally it came back on and it booted right up. I installed to the harddrive also btw.
Thank you all for your feed back. I will try some of your suggestions in the morning. I didn't think I would get a response this fast haha. Thanks again for now.

I tried both ways and and with efi just got the kernel issue. It seems that everything installed correctly but when I choose remix OS it tries to boot and I get the remixos/kernel error
This sounds exactly the same issue than I have with Dell Venue 11 pro (7140). It has Windows 10 installed and secure boot is disabled in BIOS. I can select Remix OS in boot menu but then the following errors are displayed Remix OS doesn't start:
error: 'ntfs' is already loaded.
error: 'exfat' is already loaded.
error: no such device: /RemixOS/kernel.
error: file '/RemixOS/kernel' not found.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

Yes this is my issue exactly. I hope this is only a minor bug, because I realise we are still in beta and all devices won't work the same. Please is there anyone who can help us with this???

If you would share some info with us, we might be able to provide a fix :
In Windows, open Run dialog. (Windows key pressed + r)
Type msinfo32 and enter.
You'll see a lot of information, please list the following :
1. System type
2. Processor
3. Bios mode
4. Platform Role
5. Secure boot state
6. Installed Physical Memory (Ram)
7. Total Physical Memory.
Also tell which version of beta you used. 32-bit or 64-bit?

You have as 64-bit capable CPU, as detailed on http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Atom-Z3736F-Tablet-SoC.122214.0.html
So 64-bit beta should work for you. Don't know why 32-bit UEFI systems have this issue.
However I'll inform you as soon as I update my Grub2Win guide.

Hi hoping for some help.
I have an old Compaq v2000, low specs 1.5g ram, running windows 7 32bit and vista dual boot.
Trying to dual boot remix beta, have followed all the instructions a couple of times now, can get it to work fine on my desktop.
So I use the installation exe and install onto the hard drive and reboot, dual boot options come up and I click on remix os and it loads for the first time, read write speed as around 32mb/second ,slow but it should be enough. It goes through the first time install stage and then goes to boot into remix but is just a blank screen with a cursor at the top left corner, and just stays like that. Keys don't do anything. Any ideas?
reboot and press ESC key to go to main menu....press E
highlight the line that says kernel, press E.
go to the end of the line by pressing END key...press spacebar and type DEBUG=1
Press Enter......Press B to boot. Look at the verbose output on your screen and report at what point you get stuck.
btw....why on earth are you using windows vista??? XD
Ok thanks for replying.
I have done what you said comes up with this:
"[ 1.321221] failed to find cpu0 device node
+ exec
+ exec
...could not find a valid V7 on sda
could not find a valid V7 on sda1

couldnt mount as ext3 due to feature incompatibilities found at /dev/sda2"
then typed exit to continue boot and said "couldnt probe module"
Using vista as its faster that 7 on this old thing.

Which one did u install...32bit or 64bit? Since your system is old, It might not support 64 bit.
And which graphics are you using....onboard or PCIe card?

Have searched google and it seems to be a graphics problem, looks like its not supported at the moment, could be that Remix cannot locate the driver?
On a android x86 rom i installed on here the wifi had the same issue and that was managed to be fixed using a few commands that i found on google.
The VGA graphics adapter is RADEON Xpress 200G Series.
Hopefully it gets fixed in a later update.

If it boots up, it means your gpu is not supported.

Good Luck. Hope you enjoy your exclusive cutting board afterwards. :fingers-crossed:
Honestly, it doesn't really help because they use a custom bios, which we don' t have and won't jave without any experienced developer around here. And if I'm not mistaken, it has been designed for dual boot even before.
Chuwi uses an AMI Bios...
Lenovo two DIFFERENT Insyde bios'es. Furthermore, it looks like the Android Version Bios is not even from Insyde...

at least we can boot windows or android from USB/microSD
hmm
for windows version it must be easy
we can keep windows on primary disk
and install android on external drive
* :|||| then how this s**t can boot it?
hmm, we need to disable secure boot
then add grub to bcd with easybcd
* :\ android need system/boot/data/cache... !!
yep, we need to partition usb drive like official android disk
same sizes for system, cache, ...
not userdata
then we need to edit ramdisk
we need to edit fstab(and init.r2_cht_ffd.rc) to mount system and other partitions from /dev/sdb(c) [instead of /dev/block/by-name/]
* what about other partitions like keymaster?
i'm not sure it's needed but we can symlink it on init scripts
but for android version i'm not sure what i have to do
first i downloaded android firmware zip and there was file called "bootloader"
Code:
/Volumes/ExFAT 1/YB1-X90L_USR_S000155_1609272258_WW06_BP_ROW-flashfiles/bootloader: DOS/MBR boot sector, code offset 0x3c+2, OEM-ID "mkfs.fat", sectors/cluster 4, root entries 512, Media descriptor 0xf8, sectors/FAT 200, sectors/track 32, heads 64, sectors 204800 (volumes > 32 MB) , serial number 0x786ce839, label: "ANDROIDIA ", FAT (16 bit)
so it's fat image
and i was able to mount it
BINGO
volume label is ANDROIDIA just like what i saw in chawe boot option photos in OP guide
well on bootloader i can see \EFI\BOOT\bootx64.efi
:good: :good: :good:
now i'm sure android version yoga can also boot (any)efi file
* but who dare to touch it?
noone, we have tool called efidroid : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/efidroid-t3447466
this guy can boot efi files for us
someone have to port efidroid for yoga (thats why i asked for device tree on TWRP thread)
now we need windows boot manager efi files (uefi boot partition) and windows system files to boot windows
ok, i'm not sure how to install windows on usb at this stage
but for example we can boot windows setup usb
(we need to find a way)
like install windows by virtualbox with PC on USB, then try to boot it on yoga (not sure)
or took backup of windows version and restore on USB :\
my friend wants to buy windows version (right now we have shipping problem from amazon) and i will try to install android on it
then if anyone wants to work, i hope can help

Hi guys!
So I just got an Android YogaBook and the "bios" (actually UEFI) is a standard Intel made UEFI loaded with tons of options.
Android is loaded as any standard UEFI OS using a bootloader called KernelFlinger.
This means that we can boot Android, Linux, Windows and in theory also macOS (LOL).
I'll try to install Windows in the next few days, should not be hard (except for finding and usb adapter LOL) and will report back
P.s. I believe the Windows version uses the same UEFI but is locked in a user friendly "basic mode". This makes sense as they are supposed to be able to get into the UEFI while we're not

/Volumes/ExFAT 1/YB1-X90L_USR_S000155_1609272258_WW06_BP_ROW-flashfiles/bootloader: DOS/MBR boot sector, code offset 0x3c+2, OEM-ID "mkfs.fat", sectors/cluster 4, root entries 512, Media descriptor 0xf8, sectors/FAT 200, sectors/track 32, heads 64, sectors 204800 (volumes > 32 MB) , serial number 0x786ce839, label: "ANDROIDIA ", FAT (16 bit)
so it's fat image
and i was able to mount it
BINGO
volume label is ANDROIDIA just like what i saw in chawe boot option photos in OP guide
well on bootloader i can see \EFI\BOOT\bootx64.efi
:good: :good: :good:
now i'm sure android version yoga can also boot (any)efi file
* but who dare to touch it?
noone, we have tool called efidroid : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/efidroid-t3447466
this guy can boot efi files for us
someone have to port efidroid for yoga (thats why i asked for device tree on TWRP thread)
now we need windows boot manager efi files (uefi boot partition) and windows system files to boot windows
ok, i'm not sure how to install windows on usb at this stage
but for example we can boot windows setup usb
(we need to find a way)
like install windows by virtualbox with PC on USB, then try to boot it on yoga (not sure)
or took backup of windows version and restore on USB :\
my friend wants to buy windows version (right now we have shipping problem from amazon) and i will try to install android on it
then if anyone wants to work, i hope can help

Hello there
I just tried installing PrimeOS for the first time and I get an error message saying Disk service raised an external error Code: 2147024809
I'd like a solution to this problem please if one of the PrimeOS team can help
Another problem I got is after that error a part of my C/ partition where the prime was going to be installed is taken (the installation requires to shrink a part of the partition and it does so without even installing the system but the space is taken anyway) so far around 30 gigabytes are lost and i would like to know how to undo that.
Help would be appreciated

i got that too install it from ISO better and have dual boot with you another OS ,use rufus to make ur USB
Missing os
Hope I'm on the correct thread.
Acer V5 122P came with Windows 8, updated to 8.1, 10, then CloudReady, PrimeOS ran but CloudReady took over.
Removing partitions with GParted I went too far and now have Missing OS.
PrimeOS is still on drive but won't run.
Windows 8.1 installer says partition is GPT.
I've made a real mess and have no idea how to get PrimeOS working and use my Acer.
Please can somebody help me.
@newbiecaem
To make your Acer laptop useable again do a clean Windows 10 installation.
How to install PrimeOS Android x86 on Windows PC / laptop is explained here.
Success
@jwoegerbauer
Many thanks. I had always wondered what a "clean install" was. Windows 10 now smoothly installed.
Hopefully now to dual boot with PrimeOS.

@jwoegerbauer No success with installing primeos.
If I change boot to Legacy, I get missing OS.
If I leave it as UEFI nothing happens from the USB, it's not even listed in the boot order.
I tried the Windows installer, it didn't work either.
Are you able to help again?
@newbiecaem
To make PrimeOS installation an easy then if you're on Windows UEFI 64-bit use the PrimeOS Installer EXE, and not its image file ISO.
Also make sure Secure Boot is disabled in Windows UEFI.
PrimeOS PrimeSwitcher Not Switching

I tried both standard and Classic. In each case PrimeSwitcher just brought me back to Windows 10.
I guess I'll just have to live with slo..o..o..w Windows 10.
Hi All,
The installation of PrimeOS 0.4.5 was easy. It takes about 15min. on my Lenovo T410 laptop
My issues coming after that:
1.) See almost all WiFi around me except my Samsung S20 Plus 5G Portable WiFi. why?
I see all WiFi routers around me, but none of my WiFi hotspots (Samsung S20+ / Huawei P10 and P9).
I tried with my wife Xiaomi Note M10 phone and working...
Any idea why only MI 10 working?
I tried all frequency combination (2.4 or 5)
2.) Almost all my favorites games are not running. Application closed/crashed during loading. (e.g: Guild Of Heroes, State Of Survival , Asphalt 9, CSR2)
Any idea why?
