Remix OS for PC & Phoenix OS

[ostrolk]

I am writing from Phoenix OS installed in a separate parition in my Linux laptop. (I usually call it Linux Box.) Only a few days ago I found out about Remix OS. Since then, I had installed it in a USB stick, in separate partitions in a Windows Box and in 2 Linux boxes. In the mean time, I found Phoenix OS too. It has only an .exe file for installing to a PC, meaning you have to use a Windows box for that. I used that to install Phonix OS to a USB stick. Today, I was thinking I should try to install it to a separate partition in my Linux box. I installed it the same way as I wrote here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65943247&postcount=6 I haven't tried to install the Play Store yet. Only reporting that it is installed in an ext4 partition.

Have anyone else got Phoenix OS installed this way? I am thanking you guys for all the help I got from your posts here!

I copied the Phoenix folder from the USB stick to the hard disk partition (sda6) and then unsquashed the system.sfs.

sudo unsquashfs system.sfs

and then copied the system.img from the squashfs-root to the Phoenix folder and deleted the squashfs-root folder and the system.sfs file. Then, created a menu entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom.

menuentry 'Phoenix OS' --class android-x86 {
insmod part_msdos
set root='hd0,msdos6'
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /Phoenix/system.img
linux /Phoenix/kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=Android_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive CMDLINE
initrd /Phoenix/initrd.img
}
And, then did

sudo update-grub

,
rebooted and booted into Phoenix OS.

I didn't succeed in installing Google Play. Maybe, one of you would be able to.

Today, I reinstalled Phoenix OS in another partition afresh. And, once it initialized itself, I found Play Store, Play Store Fix, SuperSu, Terminal, Voice recorder already installed. There could be an OTA update is happening some way. The Terminal accepts su. I wish I knew the terminal comands. It would be nice, if you guys would try to install Phoenix OS, so we could discuss/help each other.

What version of Phoenix OS you installed that comes with play store, su etc..?
The latest official release (1.0.4) doesn't have it...

Thanks for the Reddit link. Would have a look there too.

So you downloaded some pre-rooted/Gapped sistem.img somewhere, right? Because the original doesn't have this stuff...

I've been searching everywhere in the Net, so I could've downloaded something like that, I'm not 100% sure.

Phoenix OS as only OS

I use Phoenix OS as my only OS on my Thinkpad T61p. I uninstalled Windows 10 and only have Phoenix now. I also tried Remix OS but I find that Phoenix is the better solution, it´s better organized and has a better compatibility with GApps and a 100% working Play Store.
