I updated my Remix OS hdd installation today and recognized that all external (read: non Remix OS) partitions got automounted. I now lots of people asked for easy access to their windows partitions from within Remix OS, but I would prefer to keep things seperated.
Is it possible to disable the "access to other files and folders" in general or at least to stop automounting those partitions?
Thanks in advance
Martin

auto-mount is even tried for non-ntfs partitions
I am running Remix OS 3.0.102 in a dual boot system together with Ubuntu. While signing on the auto-mount function says already that there are two "corrupted" ext4 partitions beside one NTFS drive. After signing on the NTFS drive has been mounted automatically, while the Remix-OS partition "Android-x86" and the Ubuntu partition are called "corrupted" - probably because they are formatted with ext4.
I think, showing partitions which can't be opened in Remix OS doesn't make sense, especially if they are shown together with a dangerous offer "Touch to fix". There should be a way telling Remix OS which partitions are interesting and which should be mounted automatically.

Did you mean using latest remix version, the windows and another partition get error or corrupt omg

FYI so everyone in this thread is updated, we have developed the option to turn off the mount partition feature. It is being tested right now and it will be rolled into a future update, likely with a week or two.
Thanks!

You are writing of "option to turn off the mount partition feature". What I would prefer is an option to select the partitions which you want to mount (and which not). Another option should be: manual mount / automatic mount of the partitions which you want to mount.

That's what we have at the moment; Yes they are auto-mounted but they can be ejected via that Storage & USB screen. Maybe add a lock button on that screen so it isn't remounted on reboot.
If the corrupted message is due to the system trying to treat all partitions as fat/ntfs/exfat then that should be fixed [I'd run e2fsck on those partitions just to make sure they aren't actually corrupt].
And to answer the OP [this question has been asked and answered before]; you disable the service MediaScannerService from the Media Storage system app.

good day....i have just updated to v3.0.201, and i have few requests concerning changelogs posted on your site: http://support.jide.com/hc/en-us/categories/202520967-Remix-OS-for-PC
1)...is it possible that if there are any changes/modificatios are made to the Gaming Tool Kit can be included in the changelos together with the system changes that are well detailed as you do?
2)...i assume this is a stable release as i see it on your site, and thank you for using the latest Android-x86 RC2, the system has significantly improved, more stable, fluid , but the ads on the start menu still cripples system RAM(this is for funding purposes, the advertisements, so no need/wont complain any further)
3)....for futur releases, can u please or is there a way that Proxy SET-UP can be done for Ethernet connections?...include this somehow if within your future plans!
4)I tried the GameKITtool, IMO its still same as in the previous v3.0.104, nothing "seems' to have being changed, also nothing bas broken, still works marvellously, but lacks the previously made requests for 100% game controll compatibility!
5)overall system perfomance and stability is greatest,and thank you for including previously requested features into the sytem/update!
6..........for linux users that installed RemixOS, and thus obviously never installed using the Jide Installer, either wont be able to get OTA?
based on this? "OTA support disabled if software was NOT installed by official Jide installer"

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

There're few bugs that stop Android-x86 6.0 from daily use. For example,Google play services always crash on Intel Gen8+ GPUs,which is not fixed yet.
But the devs at Jide are actively contributing to Android-x86 6.0 and you'll be able to see the results in near future. For instance,the issue of Time being reset in Windows is fixed
in the latest commit, Check the marshmallow-x86 branch at https://github.com/android-x86-mirror
Hmm...seems like a solid release. I will wait for the official announcement and update though. If it fixes my nvidia/wifi/sound issues I might actually start using this

I think there is no remix os 3.0 for PC(x86) :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
I downloaded and installed it. My impression :
1 Locked DOWN, no more root command line
2 No Play Store option
3 Does include keymapping
4 Stock file manager can no longer read the partition on which Remix OS is installed
5 Maybe a little more quick because of changes to disk partition access
This may be because it is currently for Chinese users, hopefully there will be more flexibility with the release
EDIT 2016/07/01: After solving problems of getting into root command line, was able to deactivate jide app policy and then went on to install nova launcher, etc. Then using help from @HypoTurtle I was able to do systemless root. Everything now operating well. I will continue testing this 2.0.401 over the next few days for stability.
Summary:
1 No longer locked down
2 Play Store is activated
3 keymapping confirmed
4 Solid Explorer can read all disk partitions by using Stickmount
5 So far seems quicker than 2.0.205

unfortunately not... maybe because kernel isn't updated to the new version mentioned in the changelog

1) audio still not working (Realtek high definition audio) - We are still working on more support for audio cards. Please be patient as this is still a continual work in progress.
2) no USB mount, it gives an error about a corrupted usb card - Our testers have shown that most external USB drives are supported. Can you send us your info through our user feedback form so we're aware of your specific device's issues? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1cZNesOmnmO2esilFpvMzFZ874rvwsiKgWIX2fo9QsDk/viewform
3) YouTube doesn't work - I've been testing YouTube all day on my Remix OS for PC device. The app works fine. Watching on YouTube through Chrome has some issues, but on the whole, still works. Just not as well as the app. So, are you referring to the app or in browser experience?
4) kernel is not updated to 4.4.1.7 - I just checked with our PM and he stated that they're still testing this. Though we integrated rc2, this is one thing that was held back for testing to make sure it didn't affect overall system stability. However, stating it on the release notes was a mistake made on my part. There was miscommunication between myself and the PM and I listed this when it was still in our internal testing phase. I do apologize for this mistake and the confusion it may have caused!

Can you send us your info through our user feedback form so we're aware of your specific device's issues? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1cZNesOmnmO2esilFpvMzFZ874rvwsiKgWIX2fo9QsDk/viewform
3) YouTube doesn't work - I've been testing YouTube all day on my Remix OS for PC device. The app works fine. Watching on YouTube through Chrome has some issues, but on the whole, still works. Just not as well as the app. So, are you referring to the app or in browser experience?
4) kernel is not updated to 4.4.1.7 - I just checked with our PM and he stated that they're still testing this. Though we integrated rc2, this is one thing that was held back for testing to make sure it didn't affect overall system stability. However, stating it on the release notes was a mistake made on my part. There was miscommunication between myself and the PM and I listed this when it was still in our internal testing phase. I do apologize for this mistake and the confusion it may have caused!

Thank you for the detailed reply:
1) no audio - This is a popular sound card, and there are other threads on XDA and Google groups talking about this, so I hope it's high in your priority list. If you need me for any beta testing for this audio card, I'm in!
The fact that Android x86 RC2 has audio working gives hope it's not that difficult to implement it, right?
2) I was actually talking about a microSDXC card with exFAT format, a Kensington 64GB card, which doesn't mount. Is it a known bug?
3) Youtube doesn't work both using the standalone app and through browser. I don't know why.
4) This explains why it still shows the older kernel. Maybe this is the reason for missing audio???
Keep up the good work!!

You are welcome!
The following does not work, installing only the ROM.
Camera
Bluetooth
Youtube plays very well
Very smooth
Microphone works.
Wifi works perfectly.
The only problem is that the internal storage is not accessible.
It can not even save screenshots, no access. ( it is fix on the 3-28-2019 version )
I dirty flashed the 13.x over 12.5x and did not do the open gapps, so I will have to sideload them I guess at some point since I cannot get to internal storage like you said.
It boots up, but lots of stuff does not work (like bluetooth). At least the March 2019 security updates are in place!
Thanks
I can't believe we now have Pie on the old work horse. Thank you so much. I wiped everything but internal storage and did a clean install with open pico gapps. I had previously installed the DU swap in the boot directory and booting with it goes to a boot loop. I went back to 8.1 and deleted the DU swap in the boot directory and did another clean install of 9. It came right up and the few apps I have installed work. I tried installing YouTube but the play store says this version is not compatible. It won't even show it as an option. There is no access to storage from either the files app or ES File Explorer. I even tried USB with Windows and android shades out the file transfer option. All my other Pie devices give you an option in setting to set up the SD as either removeable or internal memory. I am wondering if we need to reformat internal memory to get access. I hate to kill it since I have all my install files there as well as TP Toolbox. Any suggestions welcome.
This is the first version of Pie and it boots and works, but the permissions are set for root as the user and it does not allow access to the internal storage. ( is all fixed on version 3-28-2019 )
Flintman is working on it and fixing that issue. Keep in mind it takes time and dedication to do this.
I installed the full version of Google Open gapps that comes with youtube and it works perfectly fine. Pie will be optimize as soon as the access permission is fix.
The Tablet soon will be working better than ever and all updated to the latest software available!

First
First, A big thank you to Flintman! I went ahead and flashed with mini gapps as the smallest package containing YouTube and it works fine. I will wait for the storage until it is fixed. The only other question I have is on partition sizes. I left them at the recommended sizes for the DU swap. I may be wasting memory but all appears to be working. I have TP Toolbox resident just in case. Thanks again. Also I assume we should not use the SKZ kernel since this looks later.

The partition sizes applied using the following:
HP TOUCHPAD Optimize for Android with Swap Partition and SKZ Kernel_ Flash Files_
Will work with Pie, Q and any future release of Android.
The /system partition is set to 1.8G, which can accommodate a Super variant of the google open gapps.
I left them at the recommended sizes for the DU swap. I may be wasting memory but all appears to be working.
Is storage space not Memory or RAM. It will be about 500MB to 600MB extra of storage space not Memory, it does not affect performance.
I have TP Toolbox resident just in case. Thanks again. Also I assume we should not use the SKZ kernel since this looks later.

There is no SKZ kernel for Pie at the moment and it will not work with Pie 9 as it only works with 8.1.
The stock Kernel of Pie 9 is not optimize yet to use the swap partition, as soon as Pie is fix it will be available and the system will improve performance and stability as more RAM (Memory) will be available in Android. (Update Pie is completely optimize more than any other ROM

Thanks for the update ! The direct link now is updated to 03-28-2019 built.
Very impressive. Every app I have installed works including storage. I have 6 touchpads including a brand new 4G model. Is the plan to add swap to the ROM or will it be a separate install? If I can be of any assistance testing just ask. Thank you to all involved.

Android Pie is optimize and is swap enable from the core, all settings are set to be use with the swap partition.
Flintman did a marvelous job incorporating all the changes and making Pie available for the HP Touchpad with more improvement on its way that it could be the best ROM ever. I will update this guide soon.
It is worth it if i'm on 8.1 with swap ? I saw that yesterday we have got a update..

If you are using 8.1 now and enjoying your setup, then my recommendation is to keep using it that way until Pie which is 100% stable now with more features than 8.1, gets Bluetooth working and any other minor issues resolved. As of now Pie is working as Oreo. Pie is using the swap partition and fully optimized as 8.1 and 7.1.2. The only thing to do is to flash it just like any other ROM.
Hi all,
I keep popping back from time to time, and each time just keeps getting better and better... We're now up to Android 9 Pie ?? WOW !!! Fantastic work guys to all involved...
Couple of questions if you don't mind...
1) I'm currently on Android 8.1 Oreo, not sure which build or when.. without picking it up yet. Is it likely this will already be using SWAP partition, or do I still have to go ahead with it?
2) If I don't have a SWAP partition, and go ahead and create one... If I want to use an older DM rom at a later date. Do I have to remove SWAP, or will it just ignore the partition on older builds?
3) So we can use WebOS and Android 9 side by side, sharing the SWAP ??
4) Is there anyway to make the Boot partition larger than 32mb, or is that set in stone?? - and where can I find the uImage file for ToolBox, so I can have that as one of my selectable boot options.
Thanks, Lister

Yes Flintman still providing support and now has created the best ROM.

1) I'm currently on Android 8.1 Oreo, not sure which build or when.. without picking it up yet. Is it likely this will already be using SWAP partition, or do I still have to go ahead with it?
The swap partition must be created as in this guide:
HP TOUCHPAD Optimize for Android with Swap Partition and SKZ Kernel_ Flash Files_
2) If I don't have a SWAP partition, and go ahead and create one... If I want to use an older DM rom at a later date. Do I have to remove SWAP, or will it just ignore the partition on older builds?
WebOS came with a swap partition and all the ROMS were install side by side with WebOS but never implemented the use of SWAP, Android 9 is the first ROM to completely take advantage of swap thanks to Flintman for applying all the changes. And all future version of Android for the HP Touchpad will have support for the swap partition.
3) So we can use WebOS and Android 9 side by side, sharing the SWAP ??
Yes the partition that is created is the original from WebOS dev/store/swap.
In WebOS is a 400 MB
The new partition is 500 MB, it can be change to any size if the user wants to.
If you want to use any new ROM, 7.1.2 ,8.1 and 9 the /system partition must be 1400 MB, it can be resize using the ToolBox.
4) Is there anyway to make the Boot partition larger than 32mb, or is that set in stone?? - and where can I find the uImage file for ToolBox, so I can have that as one of my selectable boot options.
The /boot partition is a fix 32MB can not be change and there is no need for it to be larger.
Download the ToolBox from Here
Unzip the file rename TPToolbox-2015-01-08-v42.bin to uImage.ToolBox
Using TWRP Recovery mount /boot and using the TWRP File Manager copy uImage.ToolBox to /boot.
Using TWRP any boot uImage can be move from /boot to the SDCARD and then can be copy back.
There is no need for /boot to be larger as the boot files can easily be copy to it when need it to be use.
Think of it as a CD or USB disk that you insert into the PC to boot from, is the same concept. If you need to use the ToolBox make some space by removing a boot uImage and then copy the ToolBox in /boot.

Hi @HP_TOUCHPAD,
First of all, thank you for the very prompt and DETAILED reply, this is perfect and contains EXACTLY what I need to know. And apologies for the delay getting back to you, my brothers son has been in hospital last couple of days... So been a bit back and forth.
Thank you for your post, very clearly laid out and full of useful information. I shall follow that guide and re-create a swap partition. Had a quick look last night, and looks like Flintman has re-compiled all his old roms to support SWAP partition too. So should make them smoother still..
Thanks once again...

Hi @HP_TOUCHPAD,
I've just picked up my Touchpad, and I appear to be running a build of Oreo 8.1.0, the Dirty Unicorns 12.5.xx.
However, in TWRP.... I only appear to have around 296k free, and not enough to store the Toolbox uImage (around 10mb) in there?? Any idea's what I can free up??
The largest files I can see are:
uImage.Android 5.4mb (boots my Android install)
uImage.moboot 63.KiB (boot manager)
uImage.TWRP 8.7mb (boots TWRP)
uImage.webOS 3.2mb (boots WebOS)
uImage-2.6.35-palm-tenderlion 3.2mb (no idea??)
System.map-2.6.35-palm-tenderlion 1.4mb (no idea??)
There are many other files and folders in the \boot partition. But not sure what, or if... I can free up any of those files/folders??
Thanks, Lister

The ROMS Kernels available from my guide for Evervolv 7.1.2 and DU 8.1 are my changes to make use of swap with optimization.
Flintman integrated all the changes posted on my guide to the Kernel, Ramdisk and also to the ROM of Pie (9).
Android Pie (9) is the first ROM to completely take advantage of the swap partition thanks to Flintman for improving and making the extra changes.
Thanks once again...

The /boot partition is 32MB, It shows that WebOS is also installed. Before moving any files from /boot make sure to do a backup just in case if the wrong file gets removed. The ToolBox does not need to be in the /boot directory to be use . It can be loaded into the memory by placing the Tablet into Recovery Mode and from the PC with the novacom drivers install load it.
novacom boot mem:// <uImage.ToolBox
The ToolBox will be loaded into memory and use for anything need it, there is no need to keep it in the /boot.
The most important file to be in /boot uImage.moboot 63.KiB (boot manager)

crDroid 6.2 ROM 15-01-2020
There's no guarantee nothing, don't use it if you don't know what you're doing!
SAVE your DATA before!
Make sure you have a custom recovery installed (TWRP is the preferred recovery. [I'm not using Fox recovery, I'm not going to give you advice.])
Boot into recovery
Wipe data, cache partitions to clean install. Wipe dalvik, cache to update previous crDroid.
(If your /data partition secured, maybe need format /data if you want to use this ROM.)
Flash Rom in TWRP (sideload or copy any storage)
Flash OpenGapps (Optional) [I'm not using GAPPS, I'm not going to give you advice.]
Flash Magisk Root (Optional) [I'm not using Magisk, I'm not going to give you advice.]
Reboot (If TWRP warn that there is no system, it doesn't matter, go reboot.)
First boot may take up to 1 minute.

ROM OS Version: 10.x Q
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.18.140 (not my work)
ROM info: Q10 Lineage-17.1, system_root partition, Android quota removed (easier to go back to earlier 7.x-9.x ROMs).
If you have previously used Android 9.x or 10.x ROM which has a quota set on the data partition, you can remove the quota in TWRP, and not need format the data partition (this method tested, working was for me, but no guarantee for by all means)
commands:
Code:
tune2fs -O ^quota /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata
tune2fs -Q ^usrquota,^grpquota /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata
If you then use a ROM that configures quota (fstab.qcom), you can start over, if do not want quota. Or cleaning from fstab: "quota".
Created 24-12-2019 6.0 version
Last Updated 15-01-2020 6.2 (build3)
I am not aware that it contains malicious code in the ROM, I have never put it in. This is a ported ROM, all its elements come from the Internet.
You're welcome.
New build 15.01.2020, & many changes to the system. I'd like to get feedback on whether VOLTE is working? Thanks.
SYS update V1 out: 14-01-2020
Something wrong with the system updates, I moved it to the test directory.
Nice
Wow, a new rom... Thanks szanalmas, will give feedback after testing it
@szanalmas
Edit: Already tested your rom, so stable and smooth...
But found some small bug (doesn't really matter anyway but you may need know):
-At first boot/crdroid setup wizard, email exchange request permission but when i grant it permission manager crash (but back normal after that)
-When i change the hardware button function to screenshot... The Setting app will crash and back to main menu
Just that, still looking for other
Big thanks again for this nice rom

Thanks for the feedback!
I didn't know about the first bug, probably because I have always denied email permissions in the wizard. I have bad habits!
I knew about the second bug, some of the function settings on the buttons don't work.
Unfortunately, these bugs are in the official ROM, but I think they will be fixed over time.
And of course, the SD card camera and gallery permission bugs have remained, but the solution is to use internal storage for the time being.

Sorry I can't give you guidance. I'm not building ROM, I'm just porting. If you really want to build ROM, I recommend the ViperOS developers, this was the only Official build for this phone (7.1.2). Building a ROM requires 3 things, the kernel, vendor, and AOSP. Since phone manufacturers largely do not make their source code public, their construction is tremendously laborious and time consuming.
If you want to port, it is highly recommended that you know Linux, which is quite a bit of time and energy. Actually, you need to learn the basics of linux for Android, but at least to the point where you can already interpret log error messages.
I don't know if you use linux, if you don't and you want to start with it, install linux, configure it well, and compile a linux kernel for ugglite, which starts with ROM 10. If you want to go hard, thoroughly, and deeper, do it all without installing a linux graphical interface. I don't really know how much time it takes to easily manage Linux. How to port Android 10 on windows I don't know, but I think it's not easy.
And on top of that, Android has some specific changes that are different from the Linux system, so you also have to get to know Android so.
And now we're just about to boot on Linux based Android, on the DalvikVM running applications is another world with lots of Java code.
For all this, there is no guide to doing this or that, you need to apply knowledge in a complex way.
I only do this on a hobby level.

I once used the magisk in TWRP but not this ROM. It worked for some.
But I didn't write in my post on my TWRP either now.

This is what LINK is all about, and I still hold that the double-tap feature cannot be used for two things at once. What's interesting is that I can't find the ambient display double-tap menu option, and there's a separate one in Havoc ambient settings.
This is also an Official bug unfortunately.
