Install with bugs on RCA Cabio Bay trail tablet - Remix OS for PC

RCA Cambio Model w101 V2
I managed to get it Installed to a hard drive partition, I had all kinds of issues with that but I've had issues with the 32bit efi on most linux distros. The boot up is still a bit buggy.
I copied the USB to the hard drive after installing to the USB the live ISO. I booted the partition through the bios (might have changed some grub option to get it to boot). I then changed the Grub option to load the install. I installed to the same drive and left it NTFS made a 3gb data.img. After messing around with the file system and grub, I got that booting. Install/updates apps but not the system update, that hangs at 20%.
I've had nothing but problems with this 32bit EFI/64bit systems. I'm trying to get some Linux running fairly nice so I can remove Win 10 , I don't see that happening
I've had luck with Ubuntu Zesty Linuxium build but only to the point of it being a Laptop.
On Remix the screen stays in Portrait and it don't fill the screen, its centered. No Bluetooth, No sound but I did see a link here for possible fix for that. No touch Screen. No battery ready, stays at 100%.
On the plus side the Docking keyboard works and wifi.
It looks like a nice GUI, its the first time I've looked at it.
I assume I'm missing a lot Kernel modules and firmware? Most of what I read looks like old info on these X86 Tablets. Is there anything new to help set them up, what works on them and what don't? I'd like to start with display and sound. Move to touch. Mostly all I care about and a working battery meter.
Thanks PS still boots Windows 10

I managed to boot 32 bit legacy install on a baytrail 2-in-1 tablet with intel atom z37355 ( Notion Ink Cain 10) alongside windows 10. Though the processor supports x64 as it says, the installation always failed, but 32 bit installation succeeded ( to my surprise). I booted up with fully functional touchscreen, wifi, detachable keyboard,wireless usb mouse etc.
Bugs:
No autorotate ( a third party seems to allow me to manually rotate though).
Power and volume hardware buttons dont work ( no volume either).
System seems to freeze if left alone after a while ( however, playstore downloads that were stuck are resumable after force shutdown are start).
Battery indicator stuck at 100% ( am trying to calibrate using some random battery app, but i really doubt it would work)
I'm gonna install kernel aduitor and check if the system freeze after a while can be fixed ( some guy said changing kernel governer to interactive would fix it) later.
All above bugs are known i guess. Just putting it in here so someone with baytrail tablet googles it can see it in one place

Acer C720P - Remix OS - Wildly impressed.

First the issues. I was not able to figure out how to set it up to where I can install Remix OS on my chromebook's SSD instead of having to use a USB stick. I also wasn't able to figure out why running the ISO installer tool that comes with the most recent download (yesterday) didn't work. I used it on a 32GB PNY USB flash drive, but after going into the legacy boot menu on my Chromebook, and selecting my USB stick to boot from, it was not able to find an operating system. Instead, I used Linux Live USB Creator (LiLi). I manually selected the Remix OS ISO that came with the download, and installed it to my USB stick. My chromebook recognized it immediately as a bootable OS. It even gave me the options for guest mode, and write mode. I chose write mode. The only downside to this is not being able to choose how large the partitions should be. Either way, it installed successfully.
The awesome parts. It recognized and works uniformly with my chromebook's touch screen and touch pad. Zero issues. It even recognizes some touch-pad short cuts like two-finger scrolling, etc. It doesn't recognize some of my keys on the keyboard itself, like volume up/down, and brightness up/down, but this is easily managed at the task bar. I also tested Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes to see if games would be sluggish running on a USB stick. I don't know about all games, but that one in particular ran as though it was on my Nexus 7. Super smoothly, with no issues. Aside from it being a bit sluggish running apps for the first time, (it frequently asked if I wanted to wait, or to force close Facebook and others - hitting wait works), I am very impressed with the experience. It's everything I could hope for in a beta android desktop OS! :good: :good:
PS, I'm actually running it right now as I type this.
I got it to install on my Acer R14 with a triple boot, windows 10, ubuntu, remix os. If you use universal usb installer and install directly to a NTFS partition on your hard drive you can use RMXtools to make the data .img whatever size you want. I did it for 50GB and have installed alot of apps and i still have 48GB left. I really like this OS.
Well I tried ubuntu on my chromebook for a while, but wasn't feeling it. I would have to put it on in order to install Remix OS to a hard drive no?
No just use universal usb installer and select non-linux installation and install directly to your ntfs drive. The expand the data file with RMXTools to whatever size you want.

Make your usb bootable with Rufus.
Been using it from USB for weeks now I'll try the Linux USB tool, would be amazing to get this running on the hdd. Does you're touchpad work??
Edit: just read it does work but hasn't for me, been needing my wireless mouse

Is it possible to boot a linux live usb and install remix os on the ssd with Gnome disks?
There has got to be some variation in components with revisions of the C720P, because no OS I have tried to boot on mine has supported the mouse other than Gallium. If I install the GalliumOS kernel on Debian it works fine, but no idea how I would do that with Android. Your touchpad really just worked huh? Not for me, not in the version of RemixOS I downloaded from the Jide site last night, nor in the hacked edition or whatever it's called here on XDA.

(for me) Unknown problem with booting R-OS

Hey guys, Meep here, I'm new!
So yesterday I tried installing Remix OS on my HP Pavilion 17, (Core i5-4200M) and a HD 8000M card from AMD.
I intalled the 64 bit version using the HDD installer provided with the ISO, and when done, I select the partition, after some text the RemixOS logo flashes for let's say 3 minutes, then it goes to a black screen witha mouse that I can use with my trackpad, and that goes away when I click a key on the keyboard. If I leave it there for let's say 5 minutes, the fan will start to go crazy. normal AndroidX86 works fine booting from USB. and my laptop is UEFI, so the 32 bit doesn't work either. making the USB installer with both the RemiXos tool and Rufus didn't help. after the remix os logo I am thrown into a black screen with a mouse. any help? thanks in advance.!
It's probably due to the amd card, remix does not play well with non intel graphics cards atm(they're trying to get it to work). The march 1st build was a lot more stable for me but it autoupdates so couldn't stay there. You could try to add nouveau.modeset=0 i915.modeset=1 to the menu.lst file(inside remixos folder) under kernel to force it to use the intel integrated.

Hey. I tried using all kinds of parameters, nomodeset, nomodeset vga 7**, what you said, but everything stops working. now I just get to a black screen, with a stuck white dash at the top left. strange thing is, only thing that works is the brightness support on the keyboard!

Remix OS on a Cherry Trail Tablet?

Specifically attempting to install it on an HP Envy Note 8 with an Atom x5 processor and 2GB of RAM. It originally had Windows 10 on it but I've pretty much wiped it out (formatted the entire SSD including recovery partitions).
I have an 8GB flashdrive formatted to FAT32. I run the 32 bit Remix OS installer and once it finishes I use a micro USB to USB adapter to insert the flash drive. When running the 64 bit installer the Flash Drive shows up as a bootable device and up on selecting I get an error with a memory location (ex)0x8XXXXXX something.
I tried the 32 bit installer (probably should have used that in the first place) I do the same steps use the Remix OS installer Tool and start up the tablet. However this time the tablet does not recognize the flash drive as a bootable device (literally just does not show up in the list of bootable devices have re-run the installer 3-4 times with no change). I have tried it with and without virtualization enabled and with and without secure boot enabled and get the same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
update: I got it to boot 64 with secure boot disabled. How do actually install the files to the local drive?
Update 2: Was able to install to the local hard drive by hitting e on the selection screen (Guest or Resident) and adding INSTALL=1 DEBUG= to the end of the parameters section but above the existing new line.
It's working and running well however the touchscreen is unresponsive any way to get that working? Right now I'm using a micro USB splitter and a keyboard/mouse plugged into the USB ports.
Im in, I'll recieve my mi Pad 2 soon (same cpu) I'll try to get it working too when I rcieve it is there a working Android solution for ur envy?

Check if reloading the modules helps.
Either #rmmod i2c_hid && modprobe i2c_hid
Or start RemixOS from fully off i.e. don't reboot from Windows

Remix OS is the only OS on my tab I did a complete re-install and disconnected the Keyboard and Mouse before boot (didn't actually do that intentionally as a troubleshooting tip I just needed to attach the charger). It's working now!
One issue after the next~ but im excited so far. Touch screen is working OS is installed.
Now I can't get the screen to rotate though. I double checked auto rotate is on and I also attempted to double tap F11 to get it to manually rotate but neither seems to work
Edit: On top of that I get stuck at a flashing Remix OS screen after reboot now that doesn't go away even after around 20 minutes of waiting.

Yes it's force locked by default (think of it in terms of a PC and that makes sense)
Have a look at one of my threads; either Overlay Apps, etc.. Or systemless root
Personally I'd try the systemless root (if you are running 64bit which I guess you are); it has rotation enabled and has that touchscreen 'fix' as a su.d (init.d) script.
So after restarting the system I'm stuck at a flashing Remix OS (Remix OS is installed to my hard drive after using the installer I removed the USB drive and my initial boot was from the hard drive not a USB) any way to get around this?! Persists even after multiple reboots. I've let it sit for around 20 minutes on this one now.

Does mount show that /data is mounted? It could be that data.img has corrupted like from a bad unmount. Not sure if you have access to it; but to confirm modify grub to use guest mode (data in ram) by adding/changing DATA_IN_MEM=1
I tried add DATA_IN_MEM=1 to the boot but it didn't seem to make a difference (although it did notably restart on it's own instead of just staying at the flashing screen) where do I need to type "mount"?

So after an attempted reinstall i get the same issue anytime I shut down and restart. The only way i can boot is from the installer screen by choosing "Run Android x86" the grub boot doesn't work
edit: using the data_in_mem and data= parameters it launches in guest mode
edit 2: guest mode keeps restarting itself and doesnt respond to keyboard input
edit 3: i had plugged in a flash drive unplugging it made it go back to the remixos logo and not boot

Sure
I run the "Remix OS for PC Installation Tool" from a separate windows PC and use the "USB DRIVE" option to put the 64 bit remix os files on my flash drive
I then use a powered USB HUB and a Micro USB to USB converter to plug in a keyboard and the flash drive. I hold down the volume down key on my tablet to get the boot options and then choose the flash drive as the boot drive
From there I'm given the option of "resident mode" and "guest mode" I hit "e" on the resident mode and add the lines INSTALL=1 and DEBUG= to the second from last line in the grub commands.
I then get a blue screen I choose my hard drive as the install location and choose to format it to ext4, I allow grub and grub 2 to install, and install it as "read/write". It then says "expecting to write" and then runs from 0 to 100% and says syncing to disk. From there I have the option to "Boot to Android X86" or "Restart" and I remove the flash drive.
If I choose "Boot to Android X86" it boots into remix OS and I can use it until I restart. After restart I get the flashing white Remix OS logo and it never finishes booting (just to be certain it wasn't an issue with it taking a while I literally let it sit over night for about 10 hours to see if it ever finished and it did not).
If I choose "Restart" I get the flashing white Remix OS logo after the grub screen and it never loads.
I think that should cover it.

Installing on a PIII-1000

I have here a P3-1Ghz with 512 megabytes of RAM on an Asus CUSI-M (SiS630M) motherboard in a compact case. I thought I'd try running RemixOS on it, under the rationale that Android should be friendlier to old PC hardware than any other modern system because plenty of ultramobile devices it runs on have about the same power as old PC hardware.
The CD-ROM drive is a slim unit that's unfortunately quite dead, and I don't have any of my old IDE optical drives handy; plus the computer only has USB1.1 (from which it can't boot without Plop Bootmanager and even that's sketchy) and I don't have any USB2 PCI cards, so it requires some creative ways to get a live system running. My idea is to either put the OS on the drive from my main computer and then transfer it across, or get the system on another drive, plug it in the secondary IDE channel, boot it and install to the primary drive from there.
I plugged the drive into my win10 box with a IDE-to-USB2 converter and ran the Windows installer program; it did its thing, but when I transfer the drive to the PIII it doesn't boot - it just stays there at the BIOS screen forever, as if there was no bootloader on the hard disk (I understand the installer, which seems derived from UNetBootin, should have put one there). This happens both with FAT32 and NTFS.
So I tried dd'ing the image to the hard drive directly in Linux. That at least got me to the bootloader, but when I try to boot (in guest mode) it complains about Intel Powerclamp not working and some other process being incompatible with the CPU. Then it reboots.
I then tried using Rufus to write the image to the hard disk, and that caused a cleaner attempt - no complaints and it goes straight to "looking for Android-x86 on /dev/sda1, found"... and then reboots.
Notably my idea seems to work otherwise - I can boot any Linux live by Rufus-ing it to one of the two drives, and if I put the live on the second drive I can then boot it, run the installer and install it on the first; by way of an experiment I installed Mint like this and it booted to a desktop just fine (if slowly).
I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong with the image files, or if I'm just trying to install it on an excessively ancient and unsupported computer - which would be too bad, really, as it seems an ideal solution to revive slow hardware.
Edit: another attempt. I used my main box to create a RemixOS USB drive, then rebooted the main box to verify that it works, and sure enough RemixOS booted fine from the thumbdrive. I then used Linux to dd the thumbdrive directly on the IDE hard drive and plugged that in the P3. This works - it boots to the bootloader, acts as if it wants to boot (even formats the data partition if I select resident mode), then - again - resets.
Why is the damn thing resetting on boot and how do I stop it? Argh!

Try flashing it to another hard drive, insert both drives into the computer, and and at the grub menu press alt, and add "install=1 debug=" (without the quotes of course, and debug should have no character whatsoever afer the equals.
After installing from the second hard drive to the first, turn off the computer, remove the second hard drive, and boot up the conputer.
I hope this works for you.

No need for windows, however it makes things easier for flashing it on the flash drive.
My recommendation, though, is to use the flash drive as an installer: according to what I had written above, install Remix OS to a hard drive from the flash drive.
I did what you suggested. The system is now installed on the second hard drive, but the computer still resets when attempting to boot. However, by selecting debug boot in grub it tells me a bit more info about the crash - which it didn't when I just did "debug=" in the live, for whatever reason.
Does this tell you anything?

Not much, unfortunately.
However, perhaps a BIOS update will help.
It's already updated to the newest revision.
In case others come across this problem: apparently it's not caused by the CPU, but by an unsupported video adapter. This computer has a disgusting old integrated SiS something-or-other video chipset, so that doesn't surprise me. I might try again if I ever find a PCI video adapter that'll fit the case.

Issues installing RemixOS 3...

I have been trying to install RemixOS 3 on my Intel Cherry Trail tablet, but it is not going well. (Note: Tablet is a Teclast X16 Power, which has an X8700 CPU, and uses the standard Cherry Trail chipset for almost all features.)
First issue is that the RemixOS installer seems to only want to create a boot menu entry in the BCD for Remix OS if there is only 1 other entry in it. (I have tried installing it on a few Windows systems, and if there is already more than 1 BCD entry, the installer doesn't seem to create one.) In the case of Windows 10 (which is currently on my Cherry Trail tablet), Windows creates multiple boot menu entries (regular boot, debug/safe mode, recovery, ...) during it's install process, so there will always be more than 1.
I finally tried using a BCD editor to remove all entries except the standard boot, and I did get the Remix OS installer to create an entry. Even then, it seemed to corrupt the BCD so that the Metro style touchscreen menu did not work (only text mode), and I had to do a Windows recovery operation to get it to boot again.
When I did get the Tablet to boot, the Wifi didn't wok. (This seemed strange because the tablet uses a RealTec RTL8723BS chip for wireless LAN, and the RealTec LAN chips are pretty standard in PCs these days. ) Because I couldn't get the tablet to connect to my network, I wasnt able to try many of the other features.
NOTE: I was able to get RemixOS 3 to install on my Dell XPS12 Ultrabook PC/Tablet. That system is running Windows 8.1 (instead of Windows 10), and most of the RemixOS features seemed to work OK (including Wifi). I did miss the fact that RemixOS doesn't seem to support screen rotation (like other Android ROMs), and the RemixOS also doesn't support home screen widgets. (That seems like a big over-sight to me.)
I am a big fan of Android, and I do like the general direction that the RemixOS development is going in. I would suggest that the development team work on adding support for screen rotation, and widgets. I also think it would be great if they worked on a start menu that is somewhat more like the Windows 10 style start menu that PheonixOS came up with. All-in-all... good stuff. I just think they have a little bit further to go on the development.
Screen rotation was there previously (in 2.x); I haven't figured how to enable on 3.x yet.
Widgets are there - turn of the file manager launcher in settings - or disable both built-in launchers and install a custom one
