But just imagine what Jide can achieve if we, the users, show real interest in this operating system and provide developers with quality feedback! The operating system is just in its infancy, but already has many advantages and hidden ambitions. Let me remind you of my words: Remix OS is exactly what users expect from Google when they hear about combining Chrome OS and Android.

    On January 12, the official release of the Remix OS 2.0 shell took place, which is based on Android x86 and is intended for computers and hybrid tablets. We decided to look into installing this system on computers and prepare an article about this process for Trashbox readers.

    Summer 2016 Remix OS 3.0 released. Read more about it on Trashbox: Before the instructions itself, it’s worth telling what this Remix OS 2.0 is. This Android x86 fork aims to bring an ecosystem Android applications on computers with a convenient desktop interface. In the second version of Remix OS, developers from the startup Jide added a convenient windowed interface where you can use several Android applications at the same time. At the same time, applications are scaled to fit the size of the window, and the entire interface has normal controls for the mouse and keyboard - no bottom bar with three buttons.

    How to install Remix OS 2.0 on your computer

    To install the system, you will need a USB flash drive that supports the USB 3.0 standard, a write/read speed of at least 10 Mbit/s, a memory capacity of at least 8 GB, as well as the computer itself on which you are going to install the system. It is worth noting that the requirements for a USB drive are quite formal - many users installed Remix OS 2.0 using an old USB 2.0 flash drive with 4 GB of memory.

    1. Download the image and install it on the flash drive

    You can download the system image on the official website of the startup Jide via direct link (687 MB, torrent). Available image with EFI support (torrent). You can also download the image for 32-bit systems (torrent). Inside the archive you will find both the image itself and a special utility for installing it on a USB flash drive. Before you proceed to install the image, you need to format your drive for the FAT32 file system and delete all data.

    Updated: On March 1, 2016, the first beta version of Remix OS 2.0 was released. Latest links to download the system:

    • 64 bits (UEFI + Legacy BIOS) - direct link + torrent.
    • 32 bits (Legacy BIOS) - torrent.

    The Remix OS USB Tool utility, which you can find in the archive with the image, is a special variation of Unetbootin. Launch the utility, select the Remix OS 2.0 ISO image, as well as the USB drive on which you will install it. Next, click the “Ok” button, after which the installation of the image on the flash drive will begin. You can also use the original Unetbootin utility by selecting the FreeBSD distribution and the Remix OS 2.0 image. The result will be similar.


    If everything went well, the utility will immediately prompt you to restart your computer to boot into Remix OS 2.0 from the flash drive. If you are installing the system on the same computer where you are recording the image, then you can safely press the reboot button, but before that it is better to read the next paragraph of the instructions.

    2. Boot from USB

    After restarting the computer, you need to call up the alternative boot menu. This is done on different computers in their own ways. On ASUS laptops- Esc button, for example. On regular PCs, mainly using F8 or the buttons next to it. It’s better to find out about this on the Internet in advance. Also, before such a download, you should check the Legacy Boot Mode Enabled function in the BIOS. It must be turned on.


    After turning on the computer, call up the alternative boot menu and select your USB drive in it. Next, a menu with two items should appear on the screen - “Guest Mode” and “Resident Mode”. The first is the normal Live CD mode, where the user boots the system from disk and tries it out without saving all the data. The second mode allows you to use Remix OS 2.0 as a full-fledged system on a USB flash drive. When this mode is selected, the OS boots in a mode where all the user's progress and manipulations are saved on the drive and can be accessed the next time.

    It is for the “Resident Mode” that a USB 3.0 flash drive and fast write/read speed are required. The developers suggest that it is in the mode of saving all data to USB that you need to use Remix OS 2.0.

    If your system does not boot after such an installation, you can try the same process, but enter a different command to call the installation programs: /kernel initrd=/initrd.img root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet INSTALL=1

    3. Inside the “remix” folder, make another “data” folder.
    4. Open the console and enter the command gksudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom
    5. The console will ask you for an administrator password - enter it.
    6. Next, a text editor window will appear with a specific document; at the end of the text you need to insert the following text (in order not to lose formatting, it is better to copy the code from there):

      insmod part_gpt
      search --file --no-floppy --set=root /remix/system.img
      linux /remix/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64
