I've installed Remix OS along with Windows using the Remix OS Installer.
So when I boot the PC it shows GRUB first. But I want to modify GRUB timer from 30 seconds to 10 seconds.
Where can I find GRUB's configuration file?

Assuming you have a uefi install go here to see how to modify grub.cfg in OP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/guide-using-jides-remountrw1-method-to-t3431595/
You can also change the default OS. I changed mine to Remix and 5 seconds
how about change grub in remix os(before it i installed remix os alongside with ubuntu), but suddenly i put remix os in the top of grub(using grub customizer), it's there anyway to change grub in remix os, without installation cd/usb?

I usually use my Dell Venue 11 Pro without a keyboard attached but now I can't choose remix os at boot. Is it possible to choose the second option of a dual boot without a keyboard?
I have a similar issue with a dell latitude 7350; I just bought it without a keyboard and it has no usb ports so I can't plug one in.
I've installed remix os but the touch screen doesn't work at the boot loader so I can't get into remix os; anyone have any ideas how I can boot into remix os?
Edit: Is there a file I modify with notepad to have it boot into remix os?
i have the same issue. did anyone found a solution?
did you test this?

and how can i change the boot order in remixOS? or do i have to stay there forever? is there a easyBCD for android?
Oh Remix OS is your default boot option? Normally is the other way around.
You just said I should make it default with easy bcd. Then remixOS is default. How to change it back from remix os?
You need to edit c:\boot\bcd.bcd
But I'm not sure if there is a BCD editor for Android, and You can't boot to any USB?
Otherwise You need to boot from USB to a Windows Live environment and run EasyBCD there.
I ran into this as well with my NuVision Tablet. Upon boot it will not use the power button to select the os even though I can use the volume buttons to go up and down on the list.
What I don't get, is I was able to install RemixOS on my Acer W500 and it edits the Windows Boot Manager that functions the same way, but works correctly with the Windows 8-10 style touchscreen menu, the same style of menu if you go into Windows 8-10 and go through Settings to get to Startup Options.
The only thing I can think of that is different is it is not a UEFI windows install, however it is a UEFI capable bios?
On my Dell Venue 11 Pro I added an UEFI boot entry for Remix OS (took a little fiddling). Now I can enter the UEFI boot menu on startup and select the boot entry using the volume keys.

Hi,
Anyone can help me to make the Remix OS as default boot option? I successfully installed Remix OS on my Acer V5-573G via dual boot. I shrank my current hard drive and created a separate partition for my Remix OS. I'm booting to Remix OS via Settings > Change PC Settings > Update and Recovery > Recovery > Advanced Startup.
Upon selecting this option to boot to Remix OS, there is a DOS like screen asking me to select from Windows and Remix OS.
Please help me if there is an option to make the Remix OS as default and get rid of this selection which also has 30 second timeout.
Tried to edit the menu.lst but cannot find the correct setting to make it defaulted to Remix OS.
Thanks in advance!
If you use official method for dual boot, every time you start your PC, you'll get prompted with two options Windows or Remix OS. You don't need to enter Windows to boot Remix. By default, Windows is the primary OS, and if you don't choose one option, it will start Windows in 30 seconds. But in this menu, there is a button to change the primary OS.

Thanks for your reply. I understand that if I install the remix OS on my drive C, it will always ask me the boot options (windows , remix os). Since I want to always default the booting to Windows (most of the time), I didn't install it to my drive C because it annoys me to see this and select it manually or wait for the timeout to finish just to boot to windows.
since i only use the remix OS not that frequent, I installed it on separate partition and it is okay with me to boot to windows first and go to advanced recovery setting to reboot and go to remix OS.
I just wonder if in this way, I can default it to remix OS with seeing this boot options

Where is the button?
I realize this is a sort of old thread, but I am having this same issue. Remix OS is the default boot option. I would like it to boot Windows by default, as it is really annoying when the pc restarts and if I'm not paying close attention it boots Remix OS. This is especially annoying when installing updates!
I too do not see any "button" that would facilitate this option.
Help? Thoughts?
Same problem here.
Just installed and I want to default to Windows. I guess ill just uninstall and hope it works. Caint boot in Remix by default on a PC for sure.

I found out how to change the default "Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Advanced Startup."
Worked for me...
Have same issue here but would be great if we can edit the default boot up to Windows instead of Remix OS and shorten the time from 30 seconds to user defined (2 seconds) would be great. Anyone have way around this?
Sorry for the DAMN LATE reply.....
This solution is applicable if you have a legacy BIOS.
Remix OS comes already pre-rooted, so you can edit root stuff, if you have access to the Windows partition (usually "disk0"), you can edit menu.lst using a text editor, then add:
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
Change the number (hd0,1) according to your partition number
Example: I installed Windows in the 2nd partition, then (hd0,2)
Save the changes then reboot and press Esc before the countdown ends, and select Windows.
If your main OS is Windows NT4.0 or 2000 or XP, then add this instead:
title NTLDR
fallback 1
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr
map () (hd0)
map (hd0) ()
map --rehook
find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr
chainloader /ntldr
Change both (hd0) numbers if you installed the old Windows OS to another disk, for example: I attached two disks, one has a corrupt Windows 10 which is (hd0), and the other has Windows XP for recovery purposes (hd1), then I change to (hd1)
Save the changes then reboot, and press Esc before the countdown ends, and select NTLDR.
And Voila! You can now set your Windows OS to default booting option again!
Hi! As I wrote in my profile signature, I'm using an ASUS X552C laptop running in dual boot OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and Windows 10 Anniversary Update. Both 64bit, obviously.
I'm also running a UEFI copy of Clover, which I really love, but now I have a doubt.
I'm planning to create a third 35Gb partition for Remix OS in NTFS, so I will have 250Gb for Mac, 215Gb for Windows and 35Gb for Remix OS.
Now, as far as I remember when I only had Windows (7), installing Remix OS via Windows, managed to create a new boot entry in the Windows Bootloader, but as far as I have Clover bootloader, if I install Remix OS (in triple boot), in Clover will I get:
a. OS X, Windows 10 and Remix OS or
b. just OS X and Windows?
And if B, when I will start Windows I will get the Windows Bootloader showing me also the Remix OS entry? Sorry, but it's hard to explain, I hope you understood.
Thanks in advance.

Previosly with Win7 - was that on a different laptop [or you were using legacy boot]? RemixOS shouldn't be able to add a boot entry to UEFI WBM [Windows bootmanager]
Currently what you have is Clover ==> OSX and Clover ==> chainloading WBM ==> Windows 10.
Installing RemixOS with thd tool will install Grub2 bootloader/manager and should add an entry to chainload WBM. So you'd get:
Grub2 ==> RemixOS and Grub2 ==> chainloading WBM ==> Windows 10 and it would/should make grub2 the default bootmanager over Clover/WBM
I guess you preferred option is loading all 3 from Clover?
In that case you can either chainload grub2 from Clover [clover might even auto-add a grub2 chainload (in which case you'd get A after setting the default BM to Clover again); not 100% sure though]; or you can remove grub and use the RemixOS kernel as a efiSTUB kernel - guide is posted here somewhere.
On B. As above you shouldn't get an added boot entry on UEFI but WBM ==> other options ==> use a device ; should identify and load the installed RemixOS as if it's an external USB device

Exactly, I bought my pc with Windows 8 UEFI, but it was horrible, so I reverted to Windows 7, that doesn't support UEFI, so I installed it in Legacy mode.

Exactly. Just what I wanted.

I have referred my problem to this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/solution-problems-booting-remix-os-dual-t3466027
However, as the stream 11 has only 32gb internal storage, I tend not to install alng with windows, so I wiped and install the Remix OS alone. When the installation finished, it cannot be reboot and the "_" on the lower left corner. Then I reinstall the Remix OS and choose run Android, it boots into it successfully. The problem is with the Grub config I guess, according to the above post. However, I cannot edit the grub menu and I would like to know how can I edit it while I do not have windows installed, I cannot find a way to do it within Remix OS........cannot even find the grub config by root explorer....... I tried to use the puppy linux in my USB to edit but same, cannot find the grub menu file. Anyone has any thoughts?

Puppy Linux has a program called grub4dos . This is a different version of grub. I have used it before with remix OS /X86. After you install it and reboot. If you do not see remix OS on the main grub screen, check in the advanced category it should be there.
So i tried to dual boot with remix OS on my PC,i am running windows 7.
the dual boot didn't work,whenever i choose Remix Os it started to boot and then crash.
So i decided to remove Remix Os,in my frustration however i just right-clicked the os file in the partition i created and deleted the whole file not using the unistall feature.
Now when i open my pc it asks me whether or not to run Windows 7 or Remix os.
Does someone know a way to remove that,like make my pc realise that Remix os doesn't exist or choose windows 7 by default?
