Nexus 10 ROM

We’ve been conscious of all the interest that Nexus 9 and 10 users have expressed in being able to experience Remix OS 2.0 on your tablets. We definitely heard your comments and are excited to finally have Remix OS 2.0 ready for you to experience.
Thanks!

Hey Jason!
I read about the RemixOS and it looked awesome!
I have a question, will you ever support or port the OS to the galaxy note pro in the future?
Thank you in advance!

Great news!. Installed now on my Nexus 10. Good job and thank you for your effort Remix Team!

Took me forever to get it working...
First boot took 35 mins. I shut down a while ago and attempted to restart, but it's been more than an hour now and my Nexus 9 is not back up. Completely stock RemixOS 2... Wtf?

Thank you so much for this. This has added a new life to my Nexus 10. Please keep releasing updates for Nexus 10.

Great Android distribution for my Nexus 10, fast and good enough to give more life for my tablet.
There are some issues sometimes, such as Firefox will not show the rendered text, it will show a white browser area with text behind a white overlay.
Also, in the Play Store, the device appears as a phone, this is because the ro.product.model and name are changed from the default values for Nexus 10.

Is there a root method for this yet?

I'm impressed with this OS. It makes sense on a bigger tablet like my Nexus 10. There are not very many issues I have come across. It makes me want to get a dedicated mouse and keyboard and use it as more of a laptop. I know Remix OS is still new and developing, but I can only think of a few things that I look forward to seeing.
1. Widgets. I did see a video that 2.0 had widget support. Am I missing it or is it just not in this build yet. https://youtu.be/ledz0FTlzKA
2. Removing apps from the home screen.
3. Persistent notifications. I've always used apps like battery widget reborn and weather apps and Calendar Status Pro that give me notifications that stay in the notification shade. They seem to go away once the app is closed on this OS. Maybe it would cause multitasking issues if it had to keep stuff like that in memory and that's why they don't exist but if it's possible, that would be nice.
4. And on a not so important note, the lock screen could be more useful as far as notifications and all.
Also, questions about updates. I think I read somewhere that Remix OS is updated pretty often. Will the Nexus 9 and 10 get the same updates every other devices get? Will they be OTA and do we need the recovery that came with the download in order to use the OTA (I am using TWRP still)? And will being rooted effect the OTA (I rooted with SuperSU)?
Thanks for this awesome new OS. I love how different it is from normal Android but is still Android.

+1 great first impresión. Great work and the same few things to improve if the remix team is open to suggestions.

Bluetooth issues? nexus 10?
I have no issue connecting either 1 mouse or 1 keyboard, however when i want to sync both a mouse and a keyboard, i cannot locate the second device. For example if i connect my keyboard then my mouse becomes undiscoverable, even though my other devices can see the mouse. If i pair the mouse first then i cant see the keyboard. BTW im using a nexus 10.
Is there a way i can have both be paired at the same time?
I have a bluetooth mouse and when i connect to the tablet the mouse is skippy, laggy and jumpy. whatever you want to call it. Any way to remedy this? is it a bad bluetooth mouse? or can the tablet not handle it?

anyone know how to revert back to stock from remix os? i try to flash image, failed. try to enter recovery also failed. help anyone?

Do I have to revert to stock from Remix OS 1.5 to upgrade to Remix 2.0?

tyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Did you try simply forcing bootloader mode and flashing with fastboot from a PC with the flash-all script that comes in stock images? I mean, hold power + volume down long enough for the tablet to reboot, then let go the power button but hold the volume down. Then select fastboot and finally, connect the tablet to the computer and follow the normal steps for flashing.

What are the chances for eventual Nexus 7 (2013) support?

Hey there, I'm very new to Remix OS, and I just installed version 2.0 on my Nexus 9 and it works flawlessly. My only question is, when I set a Pattern as a lockscreen password, the lockscreen with the clock disappears only leaving the Pattern dots. Is there a way that I can keep the lockscreen clock while still having a Pattern? Thanks!

I just get a boot loop on my Nexus 9 WiFi (volantis).
Reflashed all the images twice.
Does it matter what version we are coming from? I was on the N Dev preview. I'm currently flashing Marshmallow stock images, then I might try to go to remix from there to see if it makes a difference.
Also the flash instructions say to flash userdata, but there is no userdata.img, the instructions also don't say anything about vendor.img, but I flashed it anyways.
EDIT: It didn't make a difference. It just says GOOGLE, then the Remix OS logo flashes for a second or 2 then its back to GOOGLE and does this infinitely.
EDIT2: Looks like flashing the stock 5.1.1 images, and then flashing the RemixOS images worked.

Remove Remix OS from Nexus 10
So, I installed Remix OS on my Nexus 10. So, Now I want to remove it and install CyanogenMod on it. Using Win7, adb can't see the current device even though it worked fine when it had a stock Android on it? Suggestions?

Cant detect SU Binary
I ran SuperSU (Chainfire) and it cant detect the su binary. is there a workaround for this? can I reroot my nexus 10 using typical methods without flashing the stock firmware?

Will there be a version for the Nexus 9 LTE per chance? I'd love to make the switch...

Pixel C?

Hi,
do you know if the team actually works on a ROM for the Pixel C device?
Remix OS was announced for the Pixel C and both Nexus devices (which now received a ROM).
So I just would like to have a small status update aka cancelled/working on it
Thank you

Thanks for this question. I'm wondering the same thing.

No answer in 3 days.
Now does this point to a lack of communication between Jide and its customers, or do they simply not care about the users?
Because there are clearly some Jide employees who read this subforum.

Very interested by this question too
Thanks for this question !
Pixel C with its large screen could be great with Remix OS.

The Pixel C launched with 6.0.1. REMIX OS is on 5.1. How exactly were you guys expecting to have the rom out now? It will be out when remix OS is based on a version of android that the pixel C has source code for.

it will have the ROM after the switch to marshmallow.

Maybe now that 3.0 is out for PC and we know Remix is making the Marshmallow jump there'll be some movement. I won't hold my breath though. C'mon Jide! Please give this to us!

Yeaii
I will try installing it on the weekend and will report back how it worked

So far it's pretty decent. I installed after figuring out how to unlock the bootloader first (something you should update in your instructions). First impressions: I'm not sure why I can't drag from the menu to the desktop and I can't remove icons from the desktop (only uninstall them) this is just weird. Furthermore, I can't ping icons to the taskbar at the bottom (this would be super useful even if limited to 1-2 apps.
Also, way too much wasted room on the desktop, huge padding on the left and right which should be accounted for.
Overall, very cool

A few issues.
When installing the Google keyboard it soft reboots the tablet first try, then installs properly.
It takes a little too long for the tablet to recognize that it's either charging or not charging. I unplugged my pixel c to write this and it still thinks it's charging.

Agreed. You can't drag from the menu to the desktop because the desktop is combined with the launcher. There is no app drawer, it's basically like the iOS desktop. It would be cool if they would let you pin icons on the taskbar instead of just showing what's open.

You actually can pin apps to the taskbar by long pressing an app from the menu/app drawer and dragging it to the taskbar.
I also think that having every app icon on the desktop is overkill. It would be better to keep the apps contained to the menu and let us choose which ones to place on the desktop (like with the Google Now Launcher).

I'm hoping someone can help me. I've followed both links in this thread for how to instructions. The first takes me to the help site where, no matter how I word my search, I get no useful links. The second link is to the 'how to install Remix on a PC'.
Could someone help me out with the link on how to install on an Android tablet, please.
I've tried google search with various versions of 'how to install on an Android tablet' with no luck either.
All the best Richard.

Hello folks.
I'd like to try the Remix OS on my Pixel C, but would like to be able to go back to Android if I don't like it. I have TWRP recovery installed. Can I just install all the image files but skip the recovery.img? Will this allow me to run TWRP and restore an Android backup? Or is there some dependency needed in the remix recovery?
Thanks for the help.

Have to admit, it does need better instructions, namely for setting up ADB Fastboot... something that was sorely missing. I had to install it, then open an command line prompt then change to that directory. Then run all the commands in the bat file that was included. After getting the ADB driver from Samsung working, it was a breeze but until then, it was a nightmare!
Right now I'm running Remix OS 3 for the Google Pixel C, it's android version 6.0.1 and it runs pretty good. I got tired of waiting for Nougat to roll out not to mention, Nougat doesn't support free form windows... something I love on my Samsung devices!!!! Oh one other thing, it does not have root support even though their videos claim that it does!

Remix for Teclast x98 Plus...

It seems the files in the zip from Jide for x98 Plus are in reality for Cube i10, since the folder inside the zip has Cube i10 as name.
Does anybody have already flashed that rom ?

How to Flash the ROM? I tried. Unsuccessfully. Cant find any hints how to Flash it.

There are a couple of videos in youtube about installing but an official installation guide would be really appreciated, since it is a supported device.
Plus info would be useful about what is needed before anyone start flashing, eg. external keyborad, usb hub?
I hope jide team keeps up good work and support X98 Plus with later releases too!

You need the Intel Flash Tools :
https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/intel-platform-flash-tool-lite
Select from the Tool the flash.json file from the Rom, set option to 'update' and flash.
But it will not work out of the box. You first need to flash mirek custom rom and after that, in place of record the device to google server as usually with new devices, flash directly with remix OS and Flash Tools.
I had an issue after that and had to flash again boot.img and recovery.img separatly with the help of a script .bat... Maybe a bug, i don't know. But i have been the only one from techtablet forum to have this issue.
The rom is amazingly smooth, very beautyfull and it solved the lagging issue i had with the custom rom and the hacker keyboard. Unfortunately, dolphin browser doesn't work on it. [Not bad since i'm a firefox user for privacy reason].
Unfortunately, there is no way to root from adb, since the rom is locked.
In the next weeks [when i'm done with school], i will root the system image with superSU before flashing it back in the device.
Hope this work.

Oh well, is there any way to flash Remix OS from Windows 10?
I have the Windows only version, and having Remix OS without upgrading to factory stock or any custom android would be nice.

Worked Fine, Thank You w1nst0n sm1th
Is it possible to Flash it to the whole 64 GB? I tried to replace the Original gpt.bin from Remix OS with the gpt.bin from Mirek ROM (1_GB_system_56.5_GB_data_gpt). Without success. Any Ideas?

Not sure about you guys but mine 98x plus A5C8 do have the wake problem after the display turn off something.

Hi, yes but it's not working so fine for now, in my case, some apps don't work, the camera is not supported and sometimes i've got micro freeze (when i'm installing a app ont google play). I'm new on this OS, I don't know how to install on the micro sd apps.
I think, it needs optimizations.
Despite this issues, it's offering a good user experience ( i'm not sure i'lll stay on remix OS, it will depends on future improvments)

Hi. Does anybody have working 3G on Remix OS2.0? My tablet is A6C9, tried to install couple of times, can't find settings for 3G, only Wi-Fi.

There is no Remix 2.0 for x98 plus 3g version. Only for x98 3g and only Remix 1.0.
But the remix 2.0 for plus version seems to have phone ability, according the packages in /system/app & /system/priv-app folder. I disactivated it with MyAndroidTools Apk.

Does it work on a Teclast X98 Plus II ID C2E3?

Saw a bunch of warning on their site saying I have sign away the first born if I ever use it.
Also does the various memory make any difference? Since there are 32/64 and 128gb versions.

Did you find d out what's different between the 2 version s z00x and z00a?
I saw a comparability listing showing it as a zenfone 2 model and not zoom. Although both seem to run same programs including camera app. Google camera can't access some specialised camera processing on these phones and pics come out looking bad in anything but sun light. I think so will all other camera apps.

You are absolutely correct, the major difference is camera.
I tried CleanStock MM which was based on Z00A base, everything worked except 2 important things (camera and mobile network, it was way too smooth comparatively).
Finally the OP of this thread @GuilhermeXtreme did the dirty work of porting the z00x base with his custom modifications, removing bloatware/rooting/magisk and other enormous stuff.
z00 or z00d varies because of hardware differences like 16, 32, 64, GB variants, different processors too.
Check wikipedia for more detailed information about this.

One thing I got to mention is, this phone uses Intel cisc CPU, installing Android apps not optimized for it draws more than twice the battery consumption. Not only does the CPU itself draw more power but the display does too. If all 3 are not synced the battery drains very fast. Even though Asus says install Google apps, I am not sure they are all optimized for Intel. Emulating is slower and also a power hog.
Just things I noticed while using it. During use the battery drain is huge. It will last 2 or 3 days with only phone use but not for apps. Using unoptimized apps drains battetyuch faster than on arm CPU. I went back to many Asus apps now which are huge in size but uses less power.

how to install xposed?

Nice work! Any chance of taking a peak at Lineage OS for this device?

Is there a Custom ROM for Huawei 7X/Mate SE?

Would like to use a clean version of Android instead of the EMUI version that is loaded on all their phones.
Seeing how these phones are identical, figured what would work for one would work with the other.
Thanks for giving me any insight.
Coming from the Galaxy Note 4 - hoping I'm not making a mistake with this phone that is enroute.

Nothing happening on this phone I guess.

Guess you haven't bothered looking at the ROMs and development section. While alot of ROMs are not what I would deem "daily material", their is working going on to get ROMs on this device.

Here is a list of supported custom ROMs on Mate SE, Choose the A only ROM.
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
The whole custom ROM world has changed, Now you need to apply system.img instead of rom.zip using fastboot command.
I have the PHH-Treble installed on my Huawei Mate SE. here is the link.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659

In addition, I'd check out the Open Kirin site. I've read the Lineage version is outstanding and well tuned for the chip. They list the 7x as supported but I've read the Mate SE most certainly is also.

Coincidentally, just booted that ROM (on my SE) today. It's very very good, noticed a few minor glitches to do with the camera and navigation (will let them know about em).
I'll admit though, emui8 is growing on me It's certainly better than 5.1 was. Love to see the roms becoming available though. No doubt when updates stop (or before), they will be critical to have.

Coincidentally, just booted that ROM (on my SE) today. It's very very good, noticed a few minor glitches to do with the camera and navigation (will let them know about em).

I don't mind emui except that the power-saver regularly kills tasker, ad-blocking vpns, etc. I've tried everything to exempt them from power saving but no go. The battery life is outstanding though (I usually only lose 15% after a full day's usage), so for average users it's a bonus.

Here is a list of supported custom ROMs on Mate SE, Choose the A only ROM.

The whole custom ROM world has changed, Now you need to apply system.img instead of rom.zip using fastboot command.
I have the PHH-Treble installed on my Huawei Mate SE. here is the link.

Hey thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I have not installed a custom ROM in a long time.

Any chance you'd elaborate on the issues you've come across? I'm thinking about loading it up but don't want to lose functionality

Nothing terribly serious. I didn't use it for long, but the camera option for selfie shutter 'palm to camera' didn't work. Also the recently taken shots didn't show in the bottom gallery (I read this is fixed now). And the navigation arrows at the bottom seemed to not be persistent somehow (after a reboot this was okay).
It's easy to go back to stock, except if you haven't backed everything up, have to reconfigure, add / subtract apps etc.
I'd suggest searching for the openKirin website, they seem to be doing the most development. Also follow their directions, they worked for me and pretty easy.

Hi
How does one flash the "Openkirin_los_beta4" Iso to the Mate SE (BND-L34)? TWRP?? Fastboot??? what are the exact steps to not render it a paper weight again lol; Do you need Magisk-v16.0 to root it as well?

No, you don't need a custom bootloader.
You only need unlocked bootloader and unlocked frp.
TWRP is not supported on OpenKirin ROMs (especially on 7x twrp won't work).
You just need to flash the .img file through bootloader and then reboot to recovery and do a factory data reset.

Can anyone give me some advice: I have the Mate SE, currently on EMUI 8.0.0.332 (security update available but not installed), with TWRP and Magisk. I would love to install a custom ROM, but the OpenKirin site says TWRP isn't supported. Can I still install one of those builds and just expect no support if something goes wrong, or should I find some way to return to full stock before flashing? And if I need stock recovery, where can I find a download for it? I haven't had any luck on searching here yet.

Pretty much any GSI works so long as you have updated to EMUI 8 sometime in the past.
