Riddle Me This People: Remix OS installation vs other Android distro - Remix OS for PC

Ok, so here's the run down. I can install/run off a USB Phoenix OS and the Android X86 versions off any of my computers at home. But Remix OS will hang forever on the "Remix OS" splash screen. Since Phoenix and Remix are variants of Android x86, what could be the differentiating factor?

Try the 32 bit version... Had this and it worked for me.

Yes, I tried this too. Unfortunately, no dice.

@K387 it's probably the GPU handling. Remix OS handles GPU drivers differently from the rest Android-x86 forks.
Try adding: "androidboot.swrast=1" or "EXTMOD=radeon" or "EXTMOD=nouveau" to grub kernel line. Do NOT mix these together.
You didn't mention the basic info needed in troubleshooting this kind of problems - device model, CPU model, method of installation, install to USB/HDD?

RemixOS main system are "seamlessly" different from other Android-x86, Remix has different drivers which some have incompatibility with some hardwares (and it was the one which preventing me from booting via my Laptop's HDD).
If you can stuck on bootloop at 64bit version, that means that you are ran RemixOS on right hardware but it have incompatibility with drivers and your hardware. After all, if you ran 64bit on 32bit Processor, you will just end up at "Minimal BASH-like command... " or it wont boot up anyway.

Endless Boot Loop - Booting from USB

I'm trying to boot Remix OS Legacy version on a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop, from a San Disk 16GB USB 3.0 drive. I've downloaded and burned the Remix OS to the USB twice but all I get is a Boot Loop.
The PC starts booting and I get the option to boot in Resident Mode or Guest Mode. Doesn't matter which I choose, it gets to the point in the screen shot below and the PC simply reboots over and over.
I've checked the BIOS and can't find anywhere to disable secure boot or anything like that. Any help or ideas Thanks!

When your pc starts, keep pressing F2 key. You will enter the BIOS menu. Go to the boot tab, select "Legacy Boot" mode and disable "Secure Boot". Change the boot structure from HDD to FDD. Press F10 to save and reboot. Done.

Ah, but you didn't say search harder. You just reiterated what I'd already been doing.
I guess that old PC isn't gonna run Remix.

My nine year old ****ty laptop has legacy boot, dude, how is it possible you dont have it. If not, get an update from the motherboard's official website.
For example, some acer laptops did not have legacy boot mode, so, they released an update to it on their official website. Maybe, your manufacture did it too.

Do you really think that all the brands release updates for their bios?
Most of them don't! The one for my motherboard ends at 24/11/2010....

Well, thats potato. No remix for you.
Well, how about dual booting? YOu can always try my grub2 method. I have posted it in the forum.

Well don't look anymore for secure boot because Inspirons don't have/support it.(Under system information mine says unsupported) I don't have any ideas/recommendations for you other than to redownload and reburn to usb because on my Inspiron all I had to do was change the boot priority order in the boot menu and whenever the usb is plugged in I boot to it.
I think Remix is still in alpha stage. From other side, there is to many diferent hardware, and it is hard to support all of them. My experience: I have Toshiba Satellite L775D AMD quad core wit AMD Radeon 6520G hd and 6GB RAM. I am very familiar with instalation of OSs on hdd, I have 4 Linux distros, 1 Android x86 and 1 Windows 10 on same hard drive (multi boot, runing GRUB from Arch Linux), but I can't boot Remix. Also, I can not boot Android x86 Lollipop and Android x86 Marsmellow. I can boot Android x86 KitKat and have one installed on hdd. From other side, on my wife Acer Aspire, I can boot all of these stuffs.
Sory dude, but I think you simple have no luck with your hardware and Remix. Maybe things will be better in future for you (and for me).

Same with me still, with beta
Workaround for dell inspiron is to use PlopKexec boot manager. Don't know if it will work for HDD but I got USB 32bit version working on my Dell inspiron 1545 using it.
32bit works for me!
Got an old Dell GX620. 64bit gave endless loop symptoms. 32bit works like a charm! :good:
My Toshiba Sattelite C50d-a-13w can boot remix and android x86(_64) from 5.1 to 7.1 ...................
I realize that this is way overdue, however Dell laptops back then did not support secure boot, and while they did support both UEFI, you could not enable or disable either, you just had to manually specify each time you boot from USB what you wish to boot (and Dells use F12 for manual boot).
As to whether RemixOS boots or not, that is down to the specific hardware and OS version.
I have an Intel DH55HC motherboard, and Remix OS booted on it without issues, until the last versions, where it would keep failing to boot.

Slow boot to Remix OS [Dual Boot with Windows 10]

Hi,
I installed Remix OS for PC on my Asus N750 laptop. I installed it the "official" way on my SSD with Remix OS installer. It installed ok, but it took arround an hour until i could boot into it. Now, when i restart my computer and pick Remix OS to boot, it doesn't boot in 15min. I don't want to wait 15 min every single time to boot into it. Do you guys have any idea what is going on?
Thanks
@miHah whoa that's a surprise - 15 mins on an ssd? Are you not exaggerating this?
You should report this issue directly to Remix team - the form is on the jide website.

Yea, its true. It stays on "booting GRLDR" for about 10min, than screen goes blank for 5-10mins, after that my comp goes straight to sleep. When I wake it up Remix OS is ready to use. Really strange. How long does it usually take to install Remix OS ? Because that process was about 60min long.
EDIT: I don't think it is Remix OS problem but GRUB or boot or bios or whatever. I don't know much about that tho.
HDD
I run a little more than dual-boot on my diagnostic laptop. I have the primary as Windows 10, then I have some FAT32 to emulate a Flash Drive (To install whatever need be without dragging out my USB drives) then around 150-200 GB into the HDD I have Remix OS. Past that I have Boot and various Linux distributions. I've noticed that when the Remix boot partition is past the ~100 GB mark it acts a little squampy. Maybe 5-10 minute load time. An hour is insane. What you *could* to is make the core Windows 10 OS take say 64 gb then set the boot for Remix OS directly after that. Heck, put the whole thing there. Then, once you have both operating systems running and operable, partition the rest of the hdd like a (D drive and just install anything you need there.
P.S. I have a x64 processor, however when I try to run the x64 version of Remix, I get some serious bugs. I have to run the x86 version for some silly reason.
Hope you find this information useful. Let me know if you have any questions.

Doesnt work because of AMD GPU, probably even an AMD CPU? AMD it not supported by Android-x86 which is the base system os RemixOS.
Try again with Intel. Should work.

Android X86 8.1 install troubles

Hi there people!
Im having sort of an exotic trouble installing android X86 8.1 on an older PC. This one has ASRock H61 Board (UEFI) and im installing on SSD as SingleOS. When installing from UEFI BootStick and putting Grub2 (in UEFI disabled Secureboot) there is in UEFI Bootoptions "Android..." As choosable option. Booting this, nothing happens but telling to put proper boot device. I dont know what to do now? Live version boots proper. HD install boots too, but only one after fresh install directly from setup.
Anyone got any hints??
Thank you!

Is there any way i can get droidboot to boot a windows/linux usb or iso file on the Lenovo K900 phone?

I have an old lenovo K900 phone with an x86 intel atom cpu. Seeing that it's x86, i'd like to try and get windows or linux up and running. Is there any way that i can get droidboot to boot from a standard windows or linux setup USB key? If not, is there any way i can flash a proper BIOS onto this so i can get either windows or linux running on it?
the phone is currently running android 4.2.1.
woah... i tought this phone has dissapear from the univers because lack of developer and source. instead of linux or windows you can install cm12.1 [android lollipop] to this phone go to 4pda lenovo k900 that is the latest and last custom things for this phone...
to do linux or windows u need modify much things including kernel... off cource u need do it alone because no developer for this phone?... but dont know if future decide give it one hahaha
