May i know whats special in this Installer..
Remix Beta have their own installer.. ??
i don't know if this does the job but there are 2 limitation of the original remix os installer: can only install on fat32 so data img is blocked at 4gb (this installer seems to be able to install on ntfs) and it doesn't recognized mixed uefi32-64bitcapable system and i hope this does the tricks, i'm trying it as i am one with these small laptops that has mixed stupid UEFI/ARCH

Hi, I just tried, hope it might help me with my stupid mixed arch 32bit uefi/64bit system laptop. the install process went well, on the partition of the internal drive i reserved for remix os, (D or gpt4, win is on C, gpt3) i see the files (data, initrd, kernel, ramdisk, RemixOS.boot, system, TRANS.TBL) but my computer still directly boot into winwin when i restart it... any idea? where are the efi files? especially the bootia32.efi, because i need to validate it from the uefi setup to let it boot . thanks

It seems like a big work from you, if i manage to make my remix install boot, i'll donate for your work. but right now it doesn't :)

to give you more info, i managed to make it boot from hdd on a fat32 partition, i had to ass the bootia32.efi file from efi/boot of remix os install to my trusted list, put that but file on the top bootable file and disabling secure boot. it started, but with fat32 i had only 4gb data.

what's missing to your installer that make my remix install not boot up?

where are the EFI, isolinux and .android_secure folders?

power up you laptop
at the first boot screen hit F12 or whatever your laptop boot menu key
you will see RemixOS boot menu
nop, tried it. it doesn't show up :) i'll try again and i'll tell you

i see during the installer it loads the boot partition as z to add the boot files. i'll tell you if it finds it once i reboot with f12

ok. so on this Acer Switch i need to do one more thing before i can hit f12, i need to go on the efi setup look on the trusted uefi files and add the remix32.efi file in the android folder of the boot partition.

Thanks for that...

Now remix won't boot i get stuck on the loading screen glowing remix os, i'm gonna check if i can have verbose boot si i can check why...

I've never been so close to this. Man if that things boot, i'm gonna thank you!!!

Ok i found my mistake. I had to take the 64bit remix os. Up until now i have tried with the 32 bit version. I realized that editing the grub conf.

All works well as on usb stick. You can add that on acer switch you have to access efi setup and add the remix32.efi file to the trusted list then put it at the top of the boot list then disable secure boot.

Works on a tablet Asus Vivotab 8 (M80TA)

Great work and thank y!

The Vivotab is another 64bit CPU device in a 32efi env.. Created at 1st another volume next to Win10, give it disk letter to d:, let run the installer. Finally added keyboard, to be able to switch between Win and Remix. First run of RemOS needs some min. WIFI, on-screen keyboard and touch works fine, but NOT autorotate screen, GPS or the other sensors.

Best regards to Austria :)

PS: Maybe y can change this installer that it is possible to install any Linux Distro on a 32bit UEFI machine, there is a big lack of 32bit UEFi compatible Linux.

Doesn`t work anymore :(

Unfortunately after several successful boots to RemOS, I am stuck now on grub menu with the messages
Code:
error: no such device: /Remix-OS/RemixOS.boot.
error: file `/Remix-OS/kernel' not found.
...
No chance anymore to boot into RemOS or Windows or BIOS! The connected keyboard via USB isnt recognized, so no chance to use cursor down to select Win-Partition or hit F2 to go into BIOS.

Maybe you add in grub menu loading additional driver that helps at least to support the touchscreen because the Vivotab is a tablet w/o keyb. And as additional fallback switch autom. to 2nd menu item in case 1st item isnt working.

Could be my fault, because I was able to switch into BIOS all the time, before(!) I (assume) enabled Fast-Boot :mad:

Try easeus partition master free or mini tool partition wizard.

Currently not, it seems to be not possible to load BIOS first. I think it is caused by missing driver controlling the keyboard.
I assume it will be a case for the Asus Support.
Actually I don't understand the problem you're facing... Maybe I can help (maybe).
Would you please elaborate?

Update : are you using a wired keyboard or wireless?

managed to get it to work using a usb drive. is there any way to rotate the screen? my screen is locked in portrait mode
I assume no chance, that could be a bug in Beta, I had the same situation with the Asus Vivotab. Also in case Win was started it seems that its normally oriented in portrait mode on such a tablet.
WIFI and attached keyboard were recognized in my RemixOS session but none of the sensors, that one is needed for screen rotation.

Actually I don't understand the problem you're facing... Maybe I can help (maybe).

Thats fine, I was using mostly a wireless keyb from Logitech, that was always working fine in BIOS and boot menu of RemixOS etc.

My ASUS seems to be now in a endless boot loop (see my posting #12 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65793962&postcount=12 ) without any chance to go into BIOS or selecting the WIN entry in grub menu. The keyb isnt recognized anymore, maybe through FAST-Boot enabling afterwards as RemixOS was installed and running.

Also through a passiv or active USB hub with wired or wireless keyboard or a mouse isnt recognized in system anymore.
