Remix OS for PC Update, Version#3.0.203

[RemixOS_Cameron]

This week's update has a major upgrade to the Key mapping tool and is due in large part to all the feedback we’ve gotten for the Key mapping tool.

First of all, a big “Thank you” to all the gamers on Remix OS for PC that have given us all your valuable feedback on Remix OS’ Key mapping tool!

Here are the full release notes:

Remix OS for PC version: 3.0.203
Release date: August 31, 2016

Optimizations for the Gaming Toolkit app:
Key mapping on the taskbar area when the taskbar is hidden is now enabled
Fixed a bug where black screen appears for a few seconds when the Gaming Toolkit is opened
Fixed a bug where the floating button disappears when it's being dragged
Fixed a bug where the floating button sometimes becomes non-responsive it's clicked on
Fixed a bug where the animation of closing the floating button repeats a couple of times when being closed
Fixed a bug where games with high frequency click events become non-responsive (i.e. Zenonia 4)
Fixed a bug where the Gaming Toolkit will still be in effect after it's been closed
Feature added that allows key mapping for F1-F12 keys
Feature added so that the Gaming Toolkit will automatically restart if it crashes
Feature added where the Gaming Toolkit will hide taskbar automatically in edit mode

Other major changes:
1. Added support for 32-bit UEFI installation
*This added support was provided by XDA user Vioner, Remix OS user and Ambassador. Big thanks to Vioner for your help! Please join us on GitHub as we'll continue to post new projects on our Jide Technology repository!

black screen issue not fixed, stay on 104 and stable channel if you had issues previously.

Hi, just updated to 203 and i have the same issue here, gaming toolkit showing but not working at all, keyboard not responding...?? i'm playing pinball arcade, used to work fine before updated

Upgraded to ver 202 on HDD from 104 by copying over, as I was not allowed OTA (had used USB-stick installer with INSTALL=1 and ext4). Changed root folder name from 2016-08-11 to 2016-08-23 and same edits of Grub2. Worked fine: https://youtu.be/e-4lgdjT-4Q
Then yesterday came ver 203 - same procedure - worked fine too, once changed the root folder name to RemixOS.

I did a clean install coming from 3.0.201 and ran into this...error? I had this issue on 202 as well so I was hoping 203 would've fixed it. 201 is the last bootable build for me.

My Motherboard (Asus P6T) doesn't have WiFi, and I can't seem to get past "WiFi Setup", can it be skipped? I tried every key on the keyboard...

@Gus Ghanem
....aint there suppose to be a "skip" button top right corner of the screen?..use that!

 

[Vioner]

@agentg1001
Type

logcat

in the command line you see on the picture -> hit Enter -> check if it will output a loop of same lines. Shoot some pics of these or make a short video.
Also have in mind that Remix will most likely NOT boot if you have external display attached to the laptop before Remix OS logo appears.

Thank You, but it appears that's not the problem, and I didn't see anything else on the screen... The OS just isn't booting properly on my system, I select Language, then Agree, then WiFi Setup appears, it just remains at the pink and black screen, with nothing else around, and the mouse pointer appears and disappears, sometimes I can get a white context sharing menu. I tried rebooting, still all I can get is the pink and black screen, nothing else is showing up. (My video card is an Nvidia 660Ti)

...enter this into the command menu at the bottom: nouveau.modeset=1 i915.modeset=0
then press "b" or "f10" to boot!

Thanks again, but the OS seems to be booting fine, and the problem may have been an incompatible mouse (SteelSeries), the next problem now is overscan (I'm connected to a TV via HDMI), parts of the UI are beyond the screen edges, and so I can't complete the setup process. But that's OK, I'm only trying RemixOS. Thanks for your help.

Edit: OK, after 3 or 4 reboots, it's now working almost fine, launching Play Store caused a freeze. I'll keep trying.

The laptop was only connected to a power cord and ethernet like it always is. I reinstalled 201 and it boots perfectly fine under the same exact conditions. I will try your suggestion when I get the chance, thanks!

Dual boot gone

I had remix os installed with windows 10 home it was working but after today windows 10 put out an update and after it finished there isn't any more remix os option at boot it just goes straight into windows the remix file folder and files are still there. Any ideas??
I have a Asus X540L.

@[email protected] @wizmart - I've asked our Remix OS for PC product manager on this. He checked out the issue with the engineers and here is a possible solution:
1) Go to 'Settings > Remix OS options > Windowed mode app list > Gaming toolkit'
2) Make sure Windowed mode is enabled
Please let me know if this fixes the issue with the Key mapping tool. Thanks!

Have you tried to reinstall Remix OS again? According to my engineering colleague, it's actually pretty common for bigger Windows updates to do this to other OS you try to dual boot from.

After OTA from 3.0.201 to 3.0.203, system no longer boots up. Just shows the blinking "_" on black screen. Can't figure out what went wrong..

Your boot entry / boot files for remix were wiped during the Windows update. You need to examine if only boot entry was lost or also the files - if only entry, then you can manually add it via EasyBCD on legacy boot or via EasyUEFI on UEFI boot.
If you are not experienced in the above, it's easier to just reinstall. You can back up the data.img first, then install and then restore data.img.

@RemixOS_Jason
....good day, i have tried all your suggestions and i have the Game tool Kit enabled in the windowed mode apps list,but the its not responding either, it opens a window and then closes without showing the floating button,same behaviour as incompatible applications i have tried installing on the system.

i get this error:
09-03 12:51:05.167 E/WindowManager(2037): android.view.WindowLeaked: Activity com.jide.keymap.ShadowActivity has leaked window com.android.internal.policy.JideFloatView{a8df5d3 V.E...... R.....ID 0,0-396,710 #102035f android:id/float_view}

edit:
.....i have uploaded a report using google doc links u provided, and also included a video displaying what happens when launching the app either in windowed mode enabled or disabled!
thanks again!

Hi Jason, i have just had a look to my settings after your advice, gaming toolkit was enabled windows mode, i did a try again with pinball arcade just to discover there is actually a keymapping made from the game with left/right arrows active even without keymapping enable but anyway i tried again mapping other keys like before, that didn't work..i tried then with beach buggy racers, same there no success, i tried deactivate my trackpad: it was still active after reboot...i tried gaming toolkit not in windows mode, no difference, not working...
well thats my experience until now
thank you anyway for your effort Jason, keep going!
