How to install Gapps for Android TV x86 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed an Android x86 TV from geektillithertz.com. I want to know what can I do with Gapps?

Same question here.
Thanks.

no Gapps
I also installed Nic's android TV x86 6.0.1 on my Intel machine that I built with only Intel HD graphics. The unit was working well with Remix OS and I had sound with external speakers, bluetooth/WIFI worked flawlessly. I decided to give the full Android TV image a try, but without Gapps this it is incomplete. The other issue is playback error with Android TV, which is now available >80 cities, I'm going to try to change to static IP and see if it fixes that issue and report back.

I know that this post is old, but if you continue need it you must install with ADB on wifi

Hello,
Same issue with my Miix 2 10.
No matter the Android x86 distro I use (Remix OS, Phoenix OS, "stock" Android, etc) I have no sound...
If someone could help us. Maybe an update of the kernel will fix this issue... :good:

The installer used in the guide you linked now supports Remix OS. Do you think installing x86 and then replacing files with Remix ones are still required in this case?

In my case, I tried to install Remix OS with the Android Installer by it did not work. So....
I get no audio with phoenix but audio with remix.
The only thing that changed in my hardware is with remix 2.0 I used a Radeon r2 card with hdmi- this setup had good audio.
Running phoenix, I had taken out the dedicated gpu so I assume phoenix didn't like my onboard i3 2120 hdmi audio?
I REALLY want phoenix to work because it boots much faster and it's overall pepper in my opinion..
Fyi I'm using a Dell optiplex 390 i3 4gb ram.
$70 on eBay with gpu whole system. ! They have plenty...
even mine
I use remix on my surface pro and no sound
I don't know what to do please help
Actually it is really nic running remix on surface due to the touch screen:good::good:
No sound on the Asus UX305. It uses Realtek and this seems to be an issue with this version of the OS. Hopefully they address it soon!
No sound on Asus transformerbook T100ta, but have sound in windows 10 an 8 (with a driver suplied by Asus), and in Ubuntu (with a simple config file). I'm triyng replace some system directory files and see what happens...
I have no sound on hp pavilion x2 detachable 2 with intel cherry trail... someone managed to get it working?
DELETE
I have the same problem my device is hp pavalion x2 also when the device is on the standby mode(sleep mode) I can not run it again using touch screen only using keyboard
Ok. I've got remix O's running on a custom build PC with and r7 250 GPU and get no sound through the HDMI port however when I run aplay through the root terminal it detects the card as a valid sound card. Any ideas? My motherboard supports audio as well through a standard audio jack but I have not tried this option as I don't have a set of speakers to use arm.
no audio through audio jack on my asus notebook.but external speakers works
Found this in another forum, something to try:
It seems that alsa does not select the current sound card as default. That
can be changed during runtime by running the following command in busybox
(fit Alt+F1 to switch console):
alsa_ctl init 1
This command actually initializes the second sound card found in the set.
You can list all your detected sound cards using:
alsa_aplay -l
To change it permanently you have to make a few changes in
/system/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.
For more information about this consult this guide:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture
(mind that to make changes permanently you have to install Android-x86 to
your hardrive as the live-usb version is read-only)

Linux?

Has anyone so far got any form of linux (vnc or framebuffer or any way it might work) on our tablet? A while ago i saw @Stevethegreat write about it in the androplus kernel thread and i'm wondering if anything came out of that. It would be really nice to get debian or ubuntu on here because my note 10.1 is getting quite slow for more demanding programs with its weedy 1.4 ghz exynos while the 810 would probably do amazingly well. By the way in case anyone was about to suggest it-- the linux deploy or complete linux installer apps don't seem to work on this tablet (stock rooted and androplus kernel), linux deploy fails at the beginning of the install and complete linux installer just plain force closes when trying to start the linux.... Any ideas?
What do you want to run on the tablet?
Graphic-wise I do not miss anything.
With a terminal emulator and busybox or adb-shell the commandline takes me far...
I could even cross compile some arm-binaries if I had the itch.
For my server needs I have a Raspberry Pi2 (seafile, carddav, caldav) for < 50 EUR with nice case and power supply. Eats < 10 EUR electricity/year.

I mostly need propper linux to run exagear desktop which enables x86 programs to run on arm so that these tablets can be used as a intel laptop replacement . While it runs fine on my pi2 that is really a bit too weak even at 1 or 1.2 ghz and while it is faster on the old note i bet the 810 would make it approach the speeds of a entry level or mid range intel laptop and increase usability by alot. It also seems to me a bit weird how the apps i wrote about in the first post simply do not work on the z4tab even with selinux on premissive and such.
I don't own the tablet so I can't be 100% sure. However if you compile a kernel with Virtual Terminal support and follow the linux guide I wrote for Note 10.1 2014 tablet , I'm mostly positive that you'd get a rather responsive linux implementation. You have to forget hardware acceleration though (as it is dependant to the particular architecture of each and every device), unless you found a way to implement it...

Yeah, but you have to edit some of the files there. For example the kernel used there is obviously for Note tablet, *don't attempt to flash it to Xperia tablet* it will brick it. Also you'd have to edit the xorg.conf fille that you have to copy to the first step (follow the explanation part).
If you do the above two probably both the quick guide and the full guide would work. If not it would mean that I'd have to update my LinuxCanvas app, in which case someone should donate to me an Xperia tablet Z4

Yeah I know, I just want to be clear so that nobody (of those reading here) would attmpt that and suddenly think that I was the one that bricked his device. I can do without such charges
As for linuxdeploy, I use version 1.5.3 in my guide as it is the one with less issues. I gave a link there to the apk. Try it and see how it goes.

Linux deploy 1.5.6, current from play store, works well for me on a rooted SGP771, of course with an Andro+ kernel. Using armhf gave the least problems to get a Ubuntu or Debian installed with graphics via a local or remote VNC viewer.
Since the Z4T is 64 bits, I however aimed to install an arm64 architecture. Here, the success rate is lower, which is mostly due to packages that cannot be installed and a bug in tightvncserver with arm64 and higher color depth'.
I however finally succeeded with arm64 too, by using Ubuntu wily, LXDE and an x11rdp installed via ssh instead of tightvncserver. Now I'm trying a framebuffer display for speed, power consumption and a higher DPI, but yet without success. Changing DPI for VNC is simple, as Linux Deploy has a setting for it, but using RDP this seems to be tricky.
Did you say which error you get with Linux Deploy? I found it useful to turn on debug and trace output in the settings. The very first issue I had with Linux Deploy, first on the SGP621, later again on the SGP771, was that I tried to use the file method on the external SD card without the necessary permissions. On the Z4T I now use the internal storage instead, it's much faster too.
Unfortunately I'm not a Linux or Android guy, so I need to google solutions for each and every problem I encounter and I don't even think of trying to resolve package installation problems.
My objective is mostly to see how far I can get using Linux on such a lightweight device as the Z4T.
I already had the Eclipse IDE with JDT and CDT running fast enough for productive work. GHC (Haskell) runs too, but not GHCI. Using Linux with a touchscreen only and at such a high DPI is still disappointing. To my surprise, mc works rather well with a tochscreen in a fullscreen terminal via ssh. My holy grail shall however be to see Windows 8.1 running in qemu. I wonder how that will perform. Not so well I suppose. Maybe a combination of Wine and qemu would work ok, where qemu only executes the x86 application code and leaves the OS code behind the Windows APIs up to be executed natively by Wine...
On my raspi2 I use armhf
@vartha
Interesting how far you've come.
On my Raspberry I have no problems (even used LibreOffice on LXDE) with armhf.
armhf (32 bit) gives no problems in package selections so far and should work on the Tablet Z4.
Some background:
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/armhf/index.html.de
https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port
Problems with the tablet could setting up drivers for the qualcomm hardware in your version of Linux.
At least SONY provide the sources for the kernel and heading over to qualcomm there is tons of documentation. Here you look at specific (OEM-) boards. Our tablet is not that exotic.
I doubt you could run a huge operating system of INTEL-architecture due to memory constraints. Windows NT4 or XP might be possible in 3Gbytes host memory.

What features would you most like to see in Remix OS?

Remix OS has now entered Beta and supports OTA updates. Since the dev team are active here let's help them out! What features would you love to see on Remix in future updates?

HDMI audio.
Ability to quick access files on Windows hard drive
Broadcom WiFi support. More quick settings in notification panel. Battery stats time remaining.

Seconded. No use having 2 copies of our every documents on Windows and RemixOS...
An easy way to enable root in settings
I only need this for an audio enhancement app but it would be useful for other things

Tutorial for installing inside virtualbox or Qemu. Qemu would be better.
Allow installation direct from ISO onto Hypervisors - Qemu, Virtualbox, VMWare, Hyper-V, etc instead of needing to dump onto USB stick.
Support vga for second monitor
Screen recorder
Updating all of their devices to Android Marshmallow!!

Why do you need to dump to USB first? ISO runs fine in VBox.
support for tincore keymapper style overlay apps, or better yet build in a keymapper into remix.

I want to install it on VMWare workstation !
I know it probably wont happen but xposed for android desktop would be bloody awesome!
How about liveDVD?
Booting from liveDVD, just like Linux distros do it.
I beg you, add this feature.
My BIOS is not detecting any pendrives plugged into USB 3.0 ports, which are needed to boot this OS up.
(It's detected in USB 2.0, but it's too slow, only 4,5MB/s writing speed. The funny thing is that both ports - 2.0 and 3.0 - can be used by Win7 and Linux Mint that I have installed, no problem with that at all. It's just my BIOS that hates me.)
I just want to put a DVD Disc with RemixOS on it and try it out.
This would be a killer feature, since many ppl end up having problems with their pendrives/partitions/usb2.0/usb3.0/bios settings...
My Wishlist!
Most Importantly, the possibility of opening, and (just emphasis, no yelling here :angel: ) MAKING CHANGES TO files in the windows-formatted partitions (R/W mode) , HDMI Audio, Better driver support for both WiFi adapters as well as Graphics Cards (NVIDIA to be precise (like my 610M )), XPOSED, and a custom-recovery-like interface with apt functionalities.
An own web browser, maybe a Chromium fork (which is optimized for the desktop) that has the default setting to load desktop pages (there is no way to set this as default on Chrome), accepts right-clicks and shows a popup, etc.
But so far I haven't been able to even get RemixOS to boot on my Laptop (Nvidia GT-540M), although I have a Remix Mini (2GB) which I use regularly, so driver support is definitely #1 for me.
Is dual monitors supported yet? If not, than dual monitor support

Gapps TVstock installation on Android TV 7.1, how to do it?

hi, i trying to use the TVstock Gapps package on geek till it hertz's Android TV 7.1 Nougat for PC (build on Android x86)
i am unsure on how to proceed with the installation of the package
my hope is that others who want to make their own Android TV with Gapps will find this post useful and might make videos or more in depth tutorials on the subject
but at this current point, i don't know how to proceed
but this is a summery of what i currently have to work with
1. Android TV 7.1 running on VMWare Workstation 14 player NON ROOTED (couldn't get it working on actual hardware will solve that later, but as far as i know this shouldn't be different on actual hardware then on a virtual machine)
2. a USB (for transferring files and apks, there is no drivers for android to allow file copying, it also has no Ethernet capability so i have to use a USB wireless device to allow for a network connection)
i have tried rooting this device with various root methods, with no success, the opereating system seems to dismiss it, when i tried a terminal method, apps couldn't still see that i had rooted the device even when i remounted the system partition so i could write it to it, apps still couldn't see that the device was rooted
i want to try and get this done without rooting but i am happy to try again with other suggested rooting methods
thanks for reading and i hope you can help me and others with the same problem

Android x86 Laptop Problem with Games

Hello,
I downloaded Android x86 from the official site on my laptop and install unfortunately I have a problem when I download and
install pubg the app doesn't work, it doesn't even start the app. What could be the problem? Have not changed anything so far,
