***UPDATE*** I was able to install Google Play Store. However, still need to know how to change the screen resolution to make icons / text bigger. Also, how do I enable touchscreen? Trying to play Pinball Arcade -- speed is awesome but can only use keyboard. Doesn't the Surface Book touchscreen work???
Hello,
Running Remix OS successfully on my Surface Book via USB. Several questions: How the heck do I change the screen resolution? Everything is soooooo small that I can barely see / read it. I changed the font to HUGE which made no difference. The screen resolution of the Surface Book must not be compatible to Remix OS. Also, I couldn't find the Google Play store, where is it hiding? Or, is there a way to install it?
Thanks for any help you can provide. I really want to use this, but it is useless on my Surface Book if the icons / text are so small it is unreadable. Also, need the Play Store, or what's the point.
Cheers

Where is the grub.cfg file? Can't find it on the USB drive (where I installed Remix OS) or on my hard drive. Also, is there some way to enable the touchscreen on the Surface Book? If the touchscreen doesn't work for an Android OS, then this is a complete fail. Thanks again.

Hi , In Settings/Experimental features you can find zoom like on windows 10 put it on 175% , it can help you
Touch Screen on SP4 not working too, maybe we should wait for fix from remix os developers
Good Luck
Jide knows about the touchscreen and looking into a solution.

This is good news. Remix OS is quite useless if there is no touchscreen integration for the Surface Book. Also, there needs to be a setting to change screen resolution. All of the icons / mouse / text etc is soooooooooo small I can barely read anything. Thanks.

It's quite odd that you have different options in the Experimental Features than I do.
just go to Settings then Experimental Features, you see from the buttom "Set the Zoom Level" from there you can adjust what size of text and icons what you desire.

My initial suggestion is to add a scroll bar. When the mouse is used a scroll bar should be shown on the active window. Clicking and dragging is not intuitive when using a mouse.
How about 3g dongle modem support??
Having resolution under display settings would be Hella helpful. =) I realise this is alpha so i'm not complaining.

Download "Set Orientation" from the play store. It allows to set any orientation of the screen needed.
---------- Post added at 04:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 AM ----------
Also, I take back everything I said about Remix OS. Its awesome man, I just tried all the games and it plays it like anything. Superb work devs. Keep up the good work.
1. Map long press to right click.
2. Badge for notification icon, animated network indicator(to show whether wifi is active etc).

Well, dont worry. The devs will release something nice from their kitchen soon.
Just thought of one.
Similar to Windows and pressing F8 to enter safe mode, repair mode, etc, I would like to see a press F8 to enter into an android recovery where we could wipe partitions, flash zips, preform and restore backups, etc. The recovery could even be built from the TWRP base to support touch.

sory, im have install remix OS for PC but why my network not running , my network from cabel modem. Thanks
Remix OS 2.0.100 - 2016012301
1. Gamepad not fully supported / have bugs, some keys worked in system but doesnt work in games.
2. Need a screen brightness slider desperately, screen brightness is 100% by default, currently using some 3rd party app in Play Store as a workaround.
3. Storage size seems to be limited to 4gb due to FAT32 format and UEFI doesn't boot NTFS drive.
4. Memory cleanup gauge indicator not sync with real time usage (EDIT:Added screenshot)
5. Some fn keys do not work (screen brightness, keyboard backlit, touchpad switch)
6. Mouse right click should act as long press
7. Microsoft Excel / Word doesn't run due to processor compatibility
Nonetheless, this is really an amazing piece of OS despite of its alpha state. Im really looking forward to this OS
My rig:
Asus G551 - Windows 10 64bit UEFI - Remix OS installed in HD

1) Use "Sixaxis Enabler" for ps3 controller support.
2 & 5 ) My "FN" functions work just fine.
3) Fat32 has 4098MB limit and hence there is no workaround for fat32. Use ext4 instead.
4) The RAM indicator seems to be dynamic. More RAM heavy games I play, the more the RAM increases.
6) Are you kidding me? "Remix OS is a android os made for pc". How do you think it will compensate for the right click feature?
7) I ran all microsoft apps with no problem. It must be your rig's gtx840. Nvidia cards mess up remix.

Windows creates and boots from the system reserved partition for recovery modes. RemixOS could do the same. It isn't that complicated.

Recovery wont work. Its not possible. The way remix boots using x86 android kernel is different android bootloader works on phones. Thats why it wont ever work. Go read it on x86 android forums. It has been discussed heavily there. Since, remix os is based on that project, chances of recovery are slim.
However, you can activate a command line recovery using ALT+F1.

3) Is your system UEFI? Does UEFI boot EXT4 format drive?
4) Are you talking about the small indicator icon on the taskbar or the popped up window when you pressed the icon?
6) IMO the long press pop out menu replace by right click is right click done right. I'd love to see this replacing long press action in browser in the future.
7) I think I've found the problem, now the Excel and Word run fine. Might not be Nvidia GPU related.

OK, that makes more sense. A traditional recovery wouldn't work then but that still leaves the possibility for someone to build one from scratch. Maybe someday...
OK guys ive found some features that remix os must have but doesnt:
1-Share it : So ive tried using share it and what i saw made me wonder the screen went black and didnt fix until i restarted it after that i tried again and saw that it doesnt work at a ll and i cant transfer files between an android phone and remix Os.
2-bluetooth : well this one didnt work too as i said above it wont find my huawei g8 phone and no phones around.
3-Multiple Keyboard Language And Shifting between them : so guys you know that you can change your keyboards language just with pressing
ALT and SHIFT together but in remix os we can only type english and no way to change it.
4-Google services : so what you feel its empty space is google play services. you want to
know how it can help? so you wont be able to use google applications like google play games,gmail,google play, and so on.
As a compassionate User i ask the developer team to add these simple but very necessary features to Remix Os.
WISH YOU LUCK Ariel.
I just started using RemixOS for PC (love it so far!) and I don't have any issues with Google Services? You have to install them separately (instructions on Jide site), but they work fine...

there a lot more important things:
ability to select video output
ability to select sound inputs and outputs
ability to select resolution and size on screen.
need more wifi support
need more video support...
I only need screen recording to work, and a brightness slider in notification center
Bluetooth works fine for me, though my desktop appears as a phone in the bluetooth devices list on my phone (Doogee X5 Pro, running vanilla AOSP 6.0).
It does take some time for the prompt to appear though, and you're limited in what file types you can recieve.
And I can type in other languages with my physical keyboard, however I have to change it from the settings window since it doesn't appear in the applet.

Screen recording I can't see them bothering with (a base update to MM would add it by default).
Brightness slider is already there; you just need to disable box mode (or create/pin a shortcut to the SystemUI/brightness activity).
Edit based on 402: Seems to be a reveral of the above - Screen recording is reported to have been added [haven't tested] and the brightness slider is missing/removed [ro.remixos.box=false]

That's kind of a problem, since I dont think stable MM update for android x86 is coming soon and for Remix to update their base to MM would take even more time
And how can I disable box mode? my laptop cant change brightness with fn key even in ubuntu, but it can easily be fix with a slight modification in grub
I cant see how to do it in Remix

Which GPU are you using? It still has few issues. google play services continuously crash on intel Gen8+ GPUs,which is not fixed yet. And porting to mesa 12.0 is currently going on. Once Android-86 is done with mesa porting and fixing issues,Jide can migrate to Marshmallow.

You can use Xposed / AppSettings . Then set dpi to a huge number, or the screen size to a huge number. One of these should work. I had tabs, and wanted to switch, so that's what I did:

Hey everyone,
I am new to this XDA forums so I might not know how to fully customise my thread.
I am having a problem with the Google Chrome browser lately on my device. Whenever I enter full screen mode to watch a video on a website like Youtube, my status bar is still showing. If I uninstall updates and use older version of chrome, then the full screen works fine. I don't know to fix this issue. I am currently using a Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon) running on Nitrogen OS 8.1 build date: 20180215 with unofficial open gapps 8.1 aroma 20180119. The screenshots below show what I mean.
Please Help!!

Axon doesn't have those display options? Does it have the unlockable Developer Options? (Tap Build 7 times or whatever)
If yes, look for the 'Smallest Width' option. Play around with some numbers. On my 1080p device it was the 'Small' setting in Display Size that broke Chrome, but it was the one i always used. Closest Smallest Width setting to that where Chrome Fullscreen still works is 403.

Ever since my last comment I got an update and now I have that setting. The notification goes away on "default" indeed, but I have to agree with it being way too big - which is why I have it on smallest on 2560x1440. I might try the smallest width option but I shouldn't have to do that... to me it seems like something is off with either android, chrome or both.

It's Chrome. I tested Firefox and Samsung Browser and they were fine. You've just got to find a number that works.
Can confirm that changing the Smallest width under Developer settings to 403 worked for me (Redmi Note 3 Pro, Android 9.0, Havoc OS). I'm glad I've finally found a solution here, I've been having this issue for so long now I can't even remember when this started happening (probably around the time OP posted here).
Thought I'd update you guys... the biggest number that worked for me was 420 (from the 423 before which is the standard setting). So not too much of a loss.
Minimum width
Once I have changed that setting to 403 width, full screen returned to normal full mode. Thanks for the help (note 9)
I tried to enroll my device in the beta project for EMUI 11. Has not got a feedback through the app, but a month later has received OTA EMUI 11.
No huge changes, bit for a reason the interface looke better (pretty much IOS 14ish. More fluid, better performance as well as few pits and pieces here and there.
So far:
Text optimised cropping. I think it was there already, but now works better.
Better multitasking with apps drawn in a window while ongoing background apps/ interface working simultaneously.
Better visuals, closer to IOS ones (don't know who follows who, got lost a while ago and I don't really care). Actually I like the EMUI idea being a middle ground between iOS and Android
On the other hand, I believe that WiFi is not right with some connectivity issues.
However it's still early days, let's see how it goes

sound quality is veeery subjective, so cant comment on that. especially since i wasnt on 9.x for long, updated to 10 almost instantly.
as for the multi window option, it basically lets u add any app to a sort of quick select, from which u can then create a bunch of floating windows (resizeable)

Thanks for the reply.
Would you say the sound quality of the speaker is the same as with EMUI 10?
And for the floating windows: it let's you add any app that's installed on your phone? Even let's say the "Settings" app?

it seems to be a tad louder than before, but again, very subjective.
as for the floating windows: as far as i can see, it only covers user installed apps, no system apps.

Thanks mate. Sorry for all the questions but I want to be sure that I'm upgrading to something I'm going to be liking.
One last question, about the floating apps. Can you only launch a floating app from the apps you've put in the dock? Or can you also launch them from the whole list of apps you get when you press the "+" icon (or do you have to put them in the dock first)?

no worries, happy to help. the dock has a total of 15 slots and can be configured freely with any user installed apps. once added, u can then open the apps from the dock as floating windows.

And is there any other way to launch a floating window or go to split screen? Or can you only do it with apps that are in that dock?

the dock is not always showing, if that is your worry. there is a shortcut gesture, dragging from the side of the screen towards the center and then hold a bit, that brings up the dock.
if i remember correctly, there is a different gesture that can activate split-screen mode with currently running apps. dont remember what that was though (i only ever use one floating window at a time, usually for watching a video while surfing the net or texting)

welcome to the EVR-AL00 EMUI 11 family where are u located?
Italy
Did EMUI 11 introduce a tap-to-wake feature for the front screen? I read they might include a back panel tap feature, but that is of less interest to me.

lemme see what i can do mate
edit:
Uploaded on MEGA: https://mega.nz/folder/lPA3XSYB#K3sWqh0o0PGeUflujIq3vQ
Included MMS.apk as well as two services related to MMS (not sure if needed to install properly)
Also added the Call Recorder app since I saw so many people asking for it
Let me know if this works! Extracted it from the system partition in the "app" and "priv-app" folders.

Oh one last question: can you resize the floating window? EMUI 10.1 didn't let you resize it but maybe they've changed it in EMUI 11.
