Hi there. today i stumbled upon an update! so cool!

im running 3.0.104 at the moment. works great and well. i update using the .iso cause i cant find it in the official OTA in it.

But i read the changelogs and i pondered upon this.

*****************

Remix OS for PC version: 3.0.201
Release date: August 16, 2016

Release notes:

A major focus of this build was to integrate the latest Android-x86 RC2 release which results in a more stable overall experience.
http://www.android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-6-0-rc2

  • Added latest Google Android M Security patch
  • Latest Android-x86 RC2 has been integrated and the highlighted features are as follows:
  1. Fixed more Wi-Fi issues 
  2. Fixed more audio card loading issues
  3. Fixed software rendering crashing issues on VM's like QEMU and VirtualBox
  • OTA support disabled if software was NOT installed by official Jide installer
  • Newly installed apps will have a small blue icon on it so they can be easily identified

***********************
well i did the OTA before flawlessy. I installed this on my HDD using the old method like copying the files> create data.img without the help of the included installer on the zip.

the question.
in this new update without using the official installer INCLUDES the OTA or not.
i know that im using the non official but working way of making RemixOS work on my computer by not using the included installer.

but if this does not support. it'll mean that ill update using the ISO's frequently which is big and bulky with 900+ size everytime.
i dont hate this OS but sure i love RemixOS! and FYI screen mirroring works great! :D

It includes the OTA,there were only a warning saying Jide is against installing ota on my pc since it can cause damages etc. But i managed to get rid of that warning with little bit of hacking ;)
Also you don't have to download the iso every time, Use the official updater (or you can even download the ota package from browser and update manually,if you are really crazy like me)

all right. I fixed it by reintalling it again with the official installer then overlay my previous data.img and works fine as usual :)
