Remix OS on Acer One 10

[Rafy Tokugawa]

Hi, all

I used Acer One 10. This PC could be laptop, also.

Could be possible for me to use Remix OS on my PC?

Thank you before

I'm interested too. I hoped Windows 10 would be usable, but it's not really. I'd much prefer Android.

So... update. I tried the 32 bit image, and put it in Virtualbox. It didn't get to much; I assumed because there wasn't enough power to boot it. 

So I tried the USB, and behold, it worked. After disabling the UEFI secure boot in the BIOS at least.

But, it didn't exactly "work" all the way. After a lo-o-ong time I got to the language selection -the it crashed and started over. Then I got to the license, and it crashed again. Then again. Then I got to the wifi selection. Then it crashed. 

I conjectured that the connection to the usb, having to reach through the pins on the hinge, was being inefficient. So I tried booting via OTG, using a double-ended pen drive sporting a microUSB too. 

Good news: it works. You have to select USB boot before Windows in the BIOS, and then wait 20 seconds since the grub is not touch enabled, but it boots. So you could easily use RemixOS in tablet mode. If you don't mind the USB sticking out. 

The bad? It works exactly like the first option. That is, not enough to be useful. 

Also, at the end the USB was scalding hot, which can't be good. 

So, is my USB faulty, or my image, or both? Or is RemixOS just incompatible with my hardware in general?

The only path I see now is to make enough room, and then summon enough courage, to install on the hard drive. 

I'll probably get to it, but only after my main workstation is back from the dead. 

Any other advice?

I am having the same ACRER ONE 10 too..very much addicted on ANDROID and would like to hear more from you.

Sorta successfully got it working on my Acer One 10, going to need:

Either a; USB drive and usb to micro usb cable

Or; a micro usb drive(they do exist)

1. Follow standard instructions to install Remix via USB
   
2. Turn off Acer
   
3. plug in USB
   
4. turn on Acer
   
5. spam F1 or F2(i can remember which) to enter BIOS when booting
   
6. Disable Secure Boot and Enable Usb to be the first boot option(If unsure just make all things with "USB" in the title before the HDD)
   
7. F10 for "Save and Reset"
   
8. During boot spam F12 and select the USB as boot
9. Select Resident mode/Guest mode(or just the top option, mine was unreadable)
10. wait forever
11. get through the setup, hopefully not crashing
12. get to home screen!
13. cry in agony as it slows down and crashes(optional)
14. wait as it gets back to the home screen and see your progress wasn't in vain!
15. make a step-by-step tutorial on the painful multi-month process.

It does work, but be cautious, lots of crashes but hopefully future fixes.

I have the same tablet  versions 202 and 205 work in 32 bit versions very nicely fast, have wifi but no sound because the drivers aren't there to support it, Also its F2  for bios options, and if you don't want to change your boot order can just use the F12 at boot and select your usb it works, as for the heat yeah I notice this too are you using the sandisk ultra dual micro usb ?

 Do any of you have sound just curious? I was thinking of maybe doing a sound mod for mine, but just wondering if anyone with this tablet does indeed have sound and if so was there something you did to enable it. Thks for any info

[Clay Weber]

There is minimal to zero sound support for this right now, under Linux in general. Some similar devices do have sound but many do not due to slight differences in the hardware setups. 

I used the RMX Installer found on XDA as I didn't have to futz around with the 32 bit efi stuff, which is a very quick and simple process and Just Works for me. The included installer tool always crashes for me, no matter which version or usb stick I use.

I've installed Linux on the device as well a few times, using the standard methods plus dropping in the 32 bit efi file into the flash drive. I use the standard usb port for this, never had to use the micro usb otg cable to do this, but then again I have not yet installed Remix via USB

I am thinking of building the bluetooth driver in Linux and seeing if i can use that for audio.

[DBCAB]

Wow if you do can you post that on xda that would be great, ive tried a few things with no luck so far, but if you do get it to work please post here or there would be really appreciated.

[danilor...@gmail.com]

so you guys confirm wifi is working? also on  64 bit version?

ty.

[Clay Weber]

yes it does for me

[ruh....@gmail.com]

Followed these instructions but after the boot menu where you can choose resident mode or guest mode, it got stuck at a black screen.

Does any one have an advice or detailed instruction for the installation?
