ive bene loving the note since the day i got it, still have no complaints, but the way i always wanted to use it was the way RemixOS is working. so would their be any chance of getting remix os working on our notes?
They seem to position Remix OS as android for normal PC, and state x86 everywhere which actually might mean Intel x86 architecture. Its basically incompatible to ARM architecture so I guess chance is 0%. Better ask them directly I think.
They advertise is as being compatible with the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, so it's possible I would imagine.
However, seeing as how they don't seem to provide any access to their source code I get the feeling they're not going to be a good OSS citizen which makes me dislike them a lot already.

I was thinking about buying a remix ultra tablet, but before I buy, I wonder if I could flash remix OS on my nexus 7 2013 so that I would know what I'm getting into before spending $300? Has anyone tried doing this successfully? If so, how?
It is a decent hardware but I wonder if you can flash something else on it later.
I am not sure if you can flash on it or not, but if the remix OS is not buggy, then it doesn't matter to me. I actually do want to buy it for productivity purposes, as it comes. If the software works, then it would be even better than a pixel C for productivity to me, not only for price, I like the design, and the software looks good too. But like I am saying, I was wanting to try the Remix OS software first on a device that I already have, before I spend $300 on a device designed specifically for that software which could be buggy.
Hey all,
I've lurked around the forums for an answer but can't seem to find any posts about this or anything. I'm wondering what folks consider as the best tablet that is currently available (January 2017) for Remix OS?
In terms of "best tablet" I mean something for gaming, general use, productivity, pretty high specs, etc. And of course, the tablet should be able to run Remix OS without any (major/minor) hiccups.
I see the Google Pixel C is capable of running Remix OS but can't really find any posts or comments from folks about other solid tablets that run Remix. And, please do not suggest any Microsoft Surface product.
What are any recommendations from the community?
Thanks!
No one has suggestions for what might be a bada$$ tablet for Remix OS?
Well, as you mentioned it runs flawless on my pixel c. Anyway, I switched back to Stock because of the lack of updates under Remix OS. Despite of this it's the best productivity OS for Android around.

I am using remix os on huawei matebook, it is a windows 12 inch core m tablet, but I managed to install remix os on it, the only flaw is power button does not work, so I have to set the remix os to keep screen awake all the time, other than that, perfect.
it gives me the smoothest android experience, it runs much faster than pixel c, and of course it can switch back to Windows 10
lol the best tablet should be surface pro 3, everything works.

Surface pro at 800 grams is too heavy for prolonged tablet use.
I much prefer Huawei's matebook (better specs too) and I would had held onto it if the power button was not broken (on Remix OS) and since I can't stand Windows on tablets I had to return it.
I think remix OS is best used on lightweight 2in1s , more heavyweight ones are better used in laptop mode in which case windows is probably better
My OS hierarchy goes like this :
Desktop/laptop: Windows if you're gaming / need proprietary software. Linux if not (distro doesn't matter)
Tablet: Remix OS
Phones: Android, the closest to vanilla the better.
IMO windows is bad for anything without a keyboard
Chrome OS is bad for everyone
Apple operating systems while polished are too restrictive. They're a throwback to early computing which is obsolete. Eventually they will be phased out.
Edit: oops sorry , for resurrecting an ancient thread. Just saw the date.
I'm using RemixOS on my MiPad 2. It is not a perfect option since Mipad is not officially supported. But it's the best one for its price and quality.
I'm not into gaming and I strongly doubt Mipad has good gaming experience. But for everyday use and study it's quite OK.
Hello everyone, it is possible to receive custom ROM "Android O" for our Zenfone 2 ???
O was just announced, we're going to have to wait a little longer before we can know if it's possible, and a lot longer before it's actually built.

It's a good thing you answered first. I would not have been as diplomatic. Lol

Here comes ETA posts
Yes, it is posible but first need the sources and the sources are released after the official version is pushed to Nexus devices, maybe in October September will have and alpha version of Android O
Completely possible, thru custom ROMs

I wouldn't say completely. Google is laying out minimum hardware requirements for stuff like audio, vr and ar which our old phone may not mean.
But do I have confidence that our devs will make everything else work? Yes, completely. Although it's gonna take a long time. I will be elated if N hits stable.
Since the question of this topic can't really be answered, someone knows how long statistically can a device be supported by custom roms? I mean maybe Android Z is too far fetched, but android P for example?

Same answer as before, it all depends on hardware requirements

well my current daily driver is an AOKP 7.1.1 Nougat on my Zenfone Max ZC550KL with no bugs so we can hope the same for O when Lineage OS releases its own version.

Hardware is the least of our problems, considering the one in Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML for example) is more than adequate.
Google making up it's own hardware requirements is nothing more than pandering to the idea of planned obsolescence to be honest so that they can sell newest phones.
I think that if the devs can get their hands on viable drivers that support the hardware in our devices and are compatible with Android 8, then technically, it shouldn't be an issue.
For Oreo, google would be pushing certain updates (fixes, etc.) not as a standalone feature, but something that would work in the same way as Windows and MacOS system updates do within the same OS version.
We know Windows updates usually work on a variety of hardware if the Windows as an OS is the same... the only thing that you also need are drivers to properly support the hardware in question (which can be difficult if the hardware is ancient, but I doubt this would apply to Zenfone 2) - this especially applies to upgrading from say Windows 7 to Windows 10 for example as some features like a microphone might stop working if the hardware in question was say from 10 years ago. Works on say Windows 7 for example because Vista drivers were made for the hardware in question which were compatible with Windows 7 to a point, but for Windows 10, compatibility between drivers for older Windows was not maintained and new drivers need to be written.
So, large OS replacement would likely depend on hardware drivers support and updating the OS sequentially shouldn't be an issue if the drivers exist - if they don't... then it's a problem.
Manufacturers tend to stop supporting hardware after a certain time... OEM's are even worse.
If we can find drivers independently from a company that produced it, then it might be possible to find more recent drivers that work.
In case of GPU's (or any other hardware inside your PC), you wouldn't rely on the OEM for drivers. You'd go to AMD's or Nvidia's websites to download latest drivers.

Hello,
I was looking for recommendations on a cheap phone to get started with trying out custom OS's and maybe serving as a backup phone. I found a Blu Advance L5 on Amazon for ~$40, but it looks like it isn't compatible with LineageOS and some of the other builds. Not looking for a daily driver, just something to test things out with. Thanks!

I'd recommend looking for a used Google Pixel phone. The 4 and 5 series still has a lot of custom ROM support, including LineageOS. (Google has ended support for the pre-4 models, so I'd stay away from those. Some developers may still be able to eke out some support for them still, but it's not guaranteed.)

Other than what @MJPollard said, you can check also this:

And make sure it is common enough, so support doesn't stop suddenly:

Thank you both. Any thoughts on something like a Nokia 6.1 or Motorola phones (i.e. something sub $100)?

IMHO, anything that's sub-$100 probably isn't going to be supported for very long. You could get one of those phones, only to find out that it'll never go beyond Android 12 (LineageOS 19.1), or might even be stuck on earlier versions due to the lack of any further software support for the hardware (i.e. kernel and driver updates, which are essential). That's why phones like the Pixel are often good choices, as they'll usually be supported with new Android versions (both officially and unofficially) for a lot longer than the el-cheapos. You may have to pay a few dollars more, but you'll be better off in the long run. (Personally, I've had OnePlus phones for the last few years. First the 3T, then the 7 Pro, and now the 9 Pro. Probably not a choice for you as you're looking for something cost-effective, but OnePlus generally has an excellent shelf life even after official support ends... at least, it did until the OnePlus 10 series, but that's a subject for a different thread. )
(This is my first discussion so sorry if it is not formatted correctly.)
Hi,
I have a galaxy tab S7 from Samsung, and I would really like LineageOS 20 for it. However, I can see that no-one (so far) is working on it, so I have decided to try out building it for myself. However, my PC is not suitable one for building LineageOS. (HP Laptop with 4GB RAM, 256GB SSD, i3 CPU, etc.) So, I was wondering which PCs would be the best to build LineageOS with, nothing more than that. Also, from my research, the one I am looking at right now is the Dell Latitude 5420, but I would prefer one a little cheaper.
