Anyone with a leaked image to try ?
Awww, this thread subject was exciting then the actual body of the OP was a disappointment.
Afaik there is absolutely nothing to leak.
Remix OS 3.0 has just been shown running on an arm device; so even if there was a copy of that ROM somewhere, it would be useless unless you also have that device (Remix Pro).
lol
I hope that if it is release for pc they might have fix the touch input on the surface pro lineup.

Or (theoretically), a device with the same chipset.
However, by the time it was ported, RemixOS 3.0 may already get an official release.

This is for arm devices which is why the Android x86 port is not out yet.
I hope that 3.0 will be better then 2.0 in terms of bug fixes and comparability with more devices especially the surface pro 4 with the touch input. dual boot will be interesting on the SP4. AmiDuOS runs good but makes my pc SP4 run hot do to the CPU heavy usage. can't wait for the new release and news on it
while waiting for Remix 3.0 i went have a look at x86 6.0 rc1 witch i did install over an existing x86 4.4 (you're asked to upgrade or make a new install) it booted fine with all my settings, you do have multiwindow now except you can only have 2 or 4 windows at the same time not resizable and less compatible then remix, next i found my cpu and hd usage was too high, but the good is the settings panel is original to 6.0. Alltogether i'm back to remix on ext4 usb with swap part., it is running perfectly for me, no lags at all...

Well, I expect development will be moving along much easier going forward. In case you missed it -- Jide Announced New Range of Android Devices & Hire Founder of Android-x86 Project
They've been very quiet since then. I think we're going to see something very big in this next update in terms of how well remix and x86 are married.
I just downloaded the latest test Chinese version . 401
Boy is it LOCKED DOWN
no root command line
no play store
Hopefully we will see something better when it is released

It's for the x86-64 architecture.
And here is a faster mirror, if anyone wishes to download.

If you get the "Decryption Error" message like I did, in G-Chrome refresh the page, before you click download through browser, hit f12, select console and type in 'skipcheck=1', then hit enter. Should work then.

Since early 2012 when Canonical announced Ubuntu for Android I've been drooling and waiting for the perfect tablet to install it on. Now I have Tablet Z, but find out there's very little written or said about Ubuntu for Android since last year.
Does anybody know if the source codes were released? Whether it's even possible to port it to Tablet Z? If something similar will be coming?
I don't really want to go with Ubuntu Touch (not that anyone is dev-ing for it on this device), I'd ideally want android base and proper Ubuntu desktop when docked to a monitor.
It's difficult to believe this dream combo of mobile device and computer being one was so close over a year ago, but is still so far.

I've tried to run this on my tablet and it didn't work, i believe that the problem was related to kernel not supporting loop devices (I was rooted) and there is only one custom kernel but is not for all the devices so it's harder to do this but of course easier than porting ubuntu touch lol.

This is what I've been using actually. I even donated so I can use the widgets.
The problem I have with it is that the GUI is laggy through the VNC, I was hoping for something as smooth looking as in the videos from last year. Perhaps you can make a recommendation on how to improve performance? A lighter package perhaps?
Also, I was hoping to install a local web server and IDE for working when travelling (I develop Ruby on Rails apps), not tried it yet, is it going to be waste of time trying or should i just suck it and see?

This does work on stock kernel. As I say above, I use it on a completely stock ROM/Kernel. I did experience what looked like loop incompatibility but it disappeared when I re-downloaded the img. Can't remember if I tried a different image but anyway, I got it to work on stock.

Oh so you already has a haswell, that's nice. I've a Macbook Pro Retina 15.4 with 8GB RAM and Core i7 third generation + 512GB SSD mid 2012, but well i want a haswell because the power saving features!
And yes, you should be able to run RoR on it, and get a working environment, it's good to have a backup work system lol.
Also it sucks that even using a local connection is giving you slow refresh rates.
Check this: Oracle Java for ARM i don't use java at all but some of my preferred IDEs are based on java, like PyCharm, WebStore, etc. it would be amazing if we can run those things on our mobile device.
I'm wondering if anyone is interested in a guide to getting Linux running on the Nexus 9.
I've got a base system running with fbdev as a rendering output. With a bit of work I'm sure someone could get Nouveau running as a hardware accelerated video driver.
I posted a tweet with an image of it running Ubuntu core + i3 window manager.

I am on the fence about getting a n9 (one for me and one for the gf), been hearing quite mixed reviews and its a pretty steep price point. That said I would love to read your guide on this and maybe even look to it as a project. Plus I love me some installation tutorials-- seriously.
I was just thinking about doing this. I'm keen to see this guide too. :good::good:
I, for one, would love to have a native linux distro running on the N9.
I would love to get a guide on this. I've tried and failed to get Ubuntu running using the Linux on Android installer app. The Linux Deploy app works, but the resulting Ubuntu has no software centre or even a web browser.
Count me in. Will gonna follow your guide as soon as i buy a Nexus 9
Very interested in this, @sonicadvance1.
Thanks for all the hard work you do.

Any chance for a standard window manager such as xdm or heck maybe even cinnamon (mdm) running on the nexus 9. Nvidias chip in there has 2 cortex A57 I mean they are just plain speed demons. Also besides Ubuntu do you think I could port your guide to opensuse as they have Armel v7 images too...
and I am still more than willing to give linux a shot... Also do you think there will ever be a possibility of a Dual Boot option?
I'm tired of scouring the web regarding phoenix os. It's like the elephant-in-the-room.
Like king root almost.
But here's the thing. It plain outperforms remix without question, it boots much faster and is an absolute breeze to install . simply run the . Exe in Windows and it installs to C: drive or partition or USB! One simple click,and you have dual boot uefi/legacy in any Windows!
So why is there no forum or thread for this beautiful software?
Probably because I cannot find any evidence of audio successfully working for PHX Period....
As much as you want to point me to the x86 android forums, this still is its own entity, and I've already been there. This deserves a thread so here goes. Move or delete if you choose Mods
my amd r5 or h2000 aren't giving me audio with phoenix. Together or separate. I also can't get sound with Haswell.
I must know, has anyone acheived audio by any means with Phoenix OS?
Has anyone got anything to share on Phoenix os?
I like phoneix better as well.. I got everything but trackpad to work.... And uea its true its smoother. But i was unable to install google play services without giving me fc.. Theycare also extremely similar. Mowt of thigs that work on remix work on phoneix including root.

@egren58 doesn't remix have hdmi out? Is that not android x86 based?
I ran remix on a t420i w/displayport to hdmi and sound worked. A fluke?
Nope. No hdmi, remix us based on android x86 which currently does not support it.

RemixOS scored more than 7xxxxx
Additional notes:
PhoenixOS detected my other 3 hard drives and partitions with full read/write access.
Wifi and bluetooth not detected in both.
RemixOS freezes up after every 5~10 mins (but no freezing issues on my old laptop)
Audio works fine in both
CSR 2 (car racing game) runs fine in both

cool....do update us of any improvements/changes you notice.
Im running Phoenix on a Lenovo ThinkPad T450s and every single feature works beautifully! I spent hours trying to get Remix to boot on my machine by installing it on a new partition as opposed to using a USB drive and it was an absolute nightmare. I had to remove Windows in EFI mode and wipe my drive completely, convert it to MBR and boot in Legacy mode. That was the only way I could get it to work, but I lost a lot of speed in windows because of the conversion from EFI so I ended up restoring back to EFI and got rid of Remix. Then I came across Phoenix and it literally was 2 clicks and it installed everything beautifully in EFI mode! I can even have Rapid Start enabled in windows and it still works just fine. Rooting was insanely easy as well. Overall I think its an amazing piece of software and I don't know why it hasn't shown up here a lot more than what I've seen from Remix. The only issue I have is if I close the lid on may laptop while booted in to Phoenix and leave it shut for more than an hour, when I reopen it up the power light blinks and the computer won't respond to anything so I have to hold the power button and restart the computer. But it literally takes longer to hold the button and restart then it does to power back into Phoenix from being powered off. Overall Im very impressed and can't wait to see further development!
Can anyone tell me how to install Phoenix OS on a Ubuntu desktop? The thing comes in a Windows executable format. I have extracted it and placed the files on my HDD, but how to add a GRUB entry? There is no documentation on the boot parameters.

Install.img is actually install.cpio.gz so open it (twice) and you'll see the grub files there.
Phoenix Os is much better than Remix Os
Here is a link to where Phoenix OS does most of their english discussion. http://bbs.phoenixstudio.org/en/ and the Chinese forum which has the majority of the topics, http://bbs.phoenixstudio.org/cn/
enjoy!
I don't understand why Phoenix OS only provides a windows installer. I need an ISO for a virtual box install

I am one of the original members of that forum and on their tester program. Problem is that they don't keep up too well with us English users. Dante on their thread tries, but we haven't seen near as many betas and such as the cn thread. They play favorites
actually as of 2.0 remix os has hdmi support
I upgraded my PC to Asus i7-6700HQ Skylake laptop with 12 gb ram and nvidia 960m VGA. Ubuntu and most GNU linux OSs don't work easily and will usually fail due to the nvidia card not supported by nouveau. OSX has its own headache and never booted to installer. The only non windows OS that runs very good out of the box on my laptop is Remix OS By just adding EXTMOD=i915 it totally ignored the nvidia card and work pretty fast. I have a very powerful android box and it's good for studying, office work, youtubing and even GAMING
Remix OS is relatively new yet it did well to work on most of the new chips which didn't perform well on normal linux. What happened for now? Did the development really stop? Do they need donations (WE ARE HERE READY )? Did they give up on their port to normal PCs? They gave hope to many clinically dead old PCs and a better experience to new touch laptops like mine.
Phoenix OS is good but it has many Chinese stuff and their UI isn't as clean as that of Remix OS
What can we do to get Remix OS development back? The latest version 3.0.207 works pretty well on my PC but I'm still looking for more I want Nougat for example, I want better support for my fn keyboard shortcuts, I want support for keyboard backlight. I want better file explorer. Your latest version is awesome but we still expect more from you guys at Jide. Please don't give up!

I had hope with Neverware cloudready. I don't know if Chromium OS is coming with Android apps support any soon. They can't distribute the android part easily as it's not open source. And they can't give us something like gapps to flash as there is no clear way to make such a big modification to the OS from the user's side. I have faith in Remix OS, they may be dead now but they are coming soon I hope.

Actually it doesn't have special multiwindow support, it uses *standart app on google play to use multiwindow so you can get on any android 7.x versions
I don't like it, if you try it you can understand what i mean, espacially try multi window, i don't want to tell bad thing about that...
I will try and give feesback. Wil also suggest any other alternatives I get to know. Thanks!

Trying now
I've spoken to Remix OS Project Manager and they still don't have plans for an update yet. No resources. Too many projects on their head
Ye, I also wanna try out Anbox. Seems very promising.
Worst news I could hear today :'(
This will give better chance for competitors to rise. They have diluted their effort into a larger work. They would have better focused on Remix OS and selling it in normal x86 convertibles.

Has anyone tried this yet?
I'd like to know if it has the same or better performance than Remix OS. Specially on streaming apps. I'd like a solution that can stream smooth like Shield Android TV does but using a computer or Laptop.
So far Remix OS has great performance on the laptop I'm trying it. I also did some build.prop tweaks and I'm using a TV launcher and it sure does compare to my Shield Android TV, however it still does not play some streaming videos as smooth as the Shield Android TV does, it can't handle some 1080P videos in YouTube for example, the SATV can handle 4K. Some streaming apps like DirecTV stutter on the video where the SATV plays them more smooth. Then again, I guess it could be the hardware I'm using. However compatibility using Remix OS is a lot better than using Android TV OS.

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.
Download torrent.

How does Phoenix compare with Remix? Will it work on a TW700 tablet? I have been trying for over a week to load Remix 3.0 with zero success

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

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.
