Important - Read First!
First of all you must know that everything you do is on your own risk. Your device was not designed to run GNU/Linux or Android and that's why you shouldn't expect everything to be perfectly safe. If you don't want any troubles then simply don't tamper with your phone. On the other hand, installing Rhobuntu is probably less dangerous than installing alternative ROM's, because it doesn't touch your ROM and runs completely from the SD card. If something goes wrong and the system would hang up, you always can remove the battery and boot into Windows Mobile. Still, we can't guarantee you anything and we won't be liable for any damage that might happen to your device. If you don't accept this, don't install Rhobuntu.
At the moment two problems are known to occur when using Rhobuntu. They are, however, not Rhobuntu specific and may also occur when using Android.
1- After booting back into WinMo, you can't install or run unsigned apps. This problem probably has something to do with the way haret kicks WinMo out of the RAM. It also seems to occur only in combination with the use of Exchange Server. The only known solution at the moment is Hard Reset. Some users also reported that it can be fixed by using Visual Studio 2008. Check out this threads:
o Not digitally signed with a Trusted certificate/ Activesync keeps UNINSTALLING!
o Program... is not digitally signed with trusted certificate. HELP!
2- Since we still have no proper battery charge indicator working, you might not notice that your battery is completely drained. Deep discharge is, however, not good for batteries and may in some cases even damage them. Here is a thread dealing with this problem when running Android
o Android killed my USB connection, please help
The majority of Rhobuntu users doesn't face these problems, but just in case, you've been warned.

Pretty cool idea, keep us posted!
Definitely an awesome idea, and one I had been thinking about myself since my original Touch Pro days. An embedded version of Linux should run great on these devices. Hopefully momentum will grow surrounding this.
thats very interesting. any pictures of this running? maybe things can be pulled from android.
THANKS!!!! downloading now!
tried it on my Touch Pro 2 (AT&T Tilt2), No luck. Started to boot, Complained about /etc/init then poof reboot after 7 seconds. Am I missing something.

Did you change the mtype in the sartup script to the tilt2, the one i used is set for the rhod100, i hope that helps. Is anyone else's not working btw?
Help!
I extracted all the files on to a newly formatted 2GB card.
Ran haret and everything ran fine. Bit 'interesting' navigating round the screen but got there in the end.
However, since rebooting my phone back into WM I cannot run any unsigned programs such as haret that worked fine before.
The error says "The file blah cannot be opened either it is not signed with a trusted certificate..."
Any idea what's changed and how I can get my phone back to how it was?

Wierd, my winmo works find, minus the calibration issue, it's brilliant, we need some linux Devs to look into this. as a windows user, i have no idea on what to do
Thanks (All we need now is win XP )

I think something got corrupted/overwritten on my phone...
I cannot run any unsigned apps whether they are installed on the storage card or internal memory.
I cannot even install new apps! When I run the cab file, I get the usual "This program is from an unknown publisher..." and when I select yes for continue it immediately comes up with "Installation of blah was unsuccessful."
Time for a hard reset? I'd really prefer not to if anyone can suggest a better way of getting back to how it was.

try installing SdkCerts.cab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
the cab is included with the rhodium keymapper zip file. (keymapper app is worth installing as well )
sdkcerts won't install. It has the same problem as other cabs where it prompts to say the program is from an unknown publisher and when I tap Yes to continue it still fails with "Installation of SdkCerts.CAB was unsuccessful."
Tried booting it up on my Verizon TP2 and all it does is run haret and then freeze.
Thanks for putting this together, sebbo90. It boots nicely, and actually performs quite well on my Tilt2. I hope some of the developers take notice of this project and consider fixing the major usability issues like the front keys and the display calibration.
After the first boot I cant get the GUI to run anymore. Removing the directory from the SD and uploading a fresh copy fixes it for one boot only. After that it just hangs at command line.

How did you even get it to boot?
EDIT: Do you think it will not boot for me since you all are using GSM and i am using a CDMA phone? Some settings may need to be changed i guess. I have been messing around but no luck.

I had this problem what i did to fix it was to was to do a full reformat on my sd card (not a quick one) this then helped and now it boots everytime. Hope this helps

If the mtype needs to be changed, what should it be instead of the default 2292, forgive my ignorance.
EDIT: must be a fluke, it booted now, did not change a thing. Re-extracted the ubuntu rar and shoved it back on the SD and booted. Great Job. All we need now is calibration to get started.

I got it working now. It was the directory structure I was using. I spent about 2 hours last night working on the calibration issue. If I could get that working it would be sweet. Tried a newer version of haret and tweaked the startup.txt a bit but the calibration still goes out of range.
On a brighter note, the calibration works fine when booting xdandroid with haret though it is a manual calibration there is hope anyway.

Everything in it is prepared to boot Android straight from SD Card & internal memory - no need to make linux (ext2/3) partition at all. Quick guide:
1. unpack files and put haret.exe, zImage, initrd.cpio.gz, default.txt into root directory of your Omnia's SD Card (Storage Card)
2. put rootfs.img into root directory of your internal memory (My Storage)
3. run haret.exe and click "run"
4. you should see damn small haret's fonts, crc checking should pass with success, haret will jump into kernel
5. now kernel is booting, many messages and logo are visible. I've set a 10sec delay before mounting root filesystem, so you can see message that mmcblk has been found and partitions printed out
6. any failure within kernel booting ends up with kernel panic and phone restart after 30 seconds
7. successful booting results in some long-last message and "android" animation
8. in minute or two you will see desktop

It's working on mine, just follow the instructions provided and you're all set
so are all the buttons mapped correctly? and does WIFI, GPS, Market, standard-phone functions working?
on the omnia i920 I have android running..only problem is none of the buttons are mapped correctly. There is no Wifi. I'm not able to make calls either. Basically it's a visual goodie for now. I read on Modaco that they have the GPS working I think. It doesn't work on mine however. There is no sound either. I really hope someone can get this working fully because from what I seen it's a sweet os.
theres still a lot to be done ... the project is beeing directed by a guy named almar ...theres a lot of development to do on the drivers ..
two o/s
can work 2 os win&android
we need to get some devs on here to help out almar is one guy and he has done great but he seems busy with life and i think is in exam period. So if you guys know any devs that know android i think we should be able to help him out with drivers.
Hi,
I have Samsung B7610. I tried running the package, Everything appeared as mentioned. I think the buttons are not mapped. It does not detect the network.
I feel at the present stage, it cannot be used for normal telephony.
But, would like to thank for providing this oppurtunity, I am happy to see Android on my phone.

Hey all,
I own an unlocked ATT Tilt 1 (Kaiser 8925). It is currently running windows mobile which is extremely slow. I have read all over the internet that you can put the Android 2.2 OS on this phone and have seen youtube videos on this topic also.
Ideally I need to be able to buy apps from the android marketplace.
Since I'm not a phone hacker I'd like to find a professional cel phone service company that can do this for me.
I searched extensively on Google and can't seem to find one. So who can do this and what is the normal charge for something like this.
Just trying make my old phone useful in wifi mode.
Any advice would be great.
Regards Henry
I don't think there is a company that provides such a service especially if we take in to account that kaiser/tilt is a 3 year old device and the android port is not official. There are plenty of topics in the forum describing how to replace winmo with Android. You don't have to be a hacker to run Android on your phone. Just read the stickies and you wil be able to flash ityourself in no time
There are phone dealers out there (in the USA anyway), that will do this for a fee on the Kaiser, but trust me, with what has gone into the development of this, almost anyone can do it. Save yourself the money and try it yourself. The worst I've heard about is a mis-flashed phone needing some master reset.
The question is who?
I live here in the Orlando area and have called a number of cel phone companies.
I was treated like King Gidorah Three Headed Space Monster. They didn't have a clue this could be done.

Listen HenrykJR there are about dozens of android builds on this forum + many different versions of two kernels, not all of those will work correctly for you. You might experience different issues with one setup but the other will work correctly for you. So even if there was a company that could flash it for you, you might end up with an unstable device. Also how could a company gain knowledge on flashing android builds to a phone that was originally shipped with windows mobile??? You seem to be looking for Nessy....in woods.
Your best bet now is to find someone in the forums to help you flash your device....maybe even use skype to show you how to do it. It really isn't that hard.
Hehe, i don´t think you´ll find a Company that will do it for you. Maybe you find some guys that do it for Money (me to ). But if you spend a little time with reading through this forum you could do it yourself and save the money.
Preparing:
1.) You need a SD card (mandatory for android on Kaiser). And you need a Google Mail Account for syncing your contacts etc. and access the android market.
2.) You have to "unlock" your Phone (with HSPL/HardSPL). Only after that you are able to flash things (Cusom WinMo ROMs, Radio, Android) to your Kaiser. So read through this guide and follow step 1-4.
3.) Now you have an unlocked phone an you should be able to flash everything. And the first thing you flash should be the latest "radio". The "radio" for Kaiser is similar to the BIOS for your PC. Like the subsystem and responsible for GSM chipset etc... So look & read in this Radio-Thread, download the latest Radio (it is 1.71.09.01) an follow the guide "Flashing Radio from microSD"
4.) Now your Phone is up-to-date and ready for flashing Android (or WinMo custom roms). YOU NEVER HAVE TO DO THE STEPS 1-3 AGAIN! Your Phone is now completely prepared!
Flashing Android:
For Android on Kaiser you always need 2 Parts. The Kernel (this part initialize the hardware so its similar to "driver" on PC) and the Built (the Android OS itself). But Both should work together so you´ll may find in some kernel suggestions in Built-threads because not ever kernel work with every built. For your beginning i whould suggest you some things:
First the kernel:
DZO is the most popular (the father of android on Kaiser) Kernel-Developer for Kaiser. So go to his repository and download "voguimg-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-10-10_23.nbh". Because Vouge and kaiser have almost the same hardware we all could use this kernel. But everyone have to modify this kernel to make phone related optimizations. You can do thy by hand (not recommended for you) or with a tool called "Atools". This tool is writthen in "Python" so mac and linux user could use it too. But you need to install Python. But that is all described in the Atools thread. Read through it and follow the guide.
Modifing Kernel:
We will only modify the madatory things. Not more at the moment...
So run Atools, klick on the "folder" Button and load the "voguimg-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-10-10_23.nbh".
Device: "Kaiser" should be checked
Resolution: 240x320 should be checked (native resolution of Kaiser display). Everything else will give blurry optic.
Version: "Froyo" should be checked, because we will flash a Froyo built (thats android 2.2). If you want to flash an older built like a Donut one (1.6) you have to modify & flash your kernel again.
Panel Type: Try "auto" or "1" first. But if you have a fuzzy screen or artifacts you have to try out which paneltype fits best for your device. HTC has built in 3 different displays in the Kaiser and the only way to find out which one is builtin is trial & error.
Keymap: Depends on which hardware keyboard layout you have. Here in Germeny i have to use "qwertz".
We leave the other options as they are an klick on the "Disk" button to save our modificated kernel now. it save it as "KAISIMG.nbh".
Now we need the Built:
I suggest "Fat Free Froyo" at the moment. Fast, stable, an looks good. So go to this thread and download "ODEX DOWNLOAD RLS5 ALL LANG-ODEX" on the bottom of the post.
then unzip/unrar this file...
Flashing your first Android:
1.) You should have a fat32 formatted SD card
2.) put the Kernel (the modified KAISIMG.nbh) to the root of SD card
3.) Create a folder named "andboot" on SD card
4.) Put the unzipped file (androidinstall.tar or .tgz) in the folder "andboot"
5.) Remove SIMcard and any cables from phone and put the SD card in your phone. Battery should be 50% carged or more...
6.) go to bootloader-mode (press and hold camera button and powerbutton). the KAISIMG should be loaded and it will show you "press powerbutton to update" or something similar. Do that... Now a progressbar will appear. When it is at 100% wait a few seconds an then pull the battery. Wait 10 seconds an insert it again. Voila! You flashed your first android kernel!
7.) Now we have to install android itself. So Power on the phone. In the moment when you see small white text on black background you have to press and hold the d-pad button. This one in the middle. Now you get in the install menu.
8.) Leave the options "System on nand" and "DATA on nand" as it is. Navigate to "install system" an press dpad. It ask "format system" and "format data". Both "YES". after this procedure you enter the menu again. navigate to "quit".
9.) Yeah! The first Bootup of Android! The first bootup takes longer as the following ones because now the system prepares for bootup and do a lot of optimisations. Even if you enter the lockscreen you should give it 10 minutes time to finish this optimization process in backround.
10.) Finish! You have flashed your first android completely! Now you can play around and make your settings. Remember: You have to sign in to your google account befor you can access the market or syncronize your contacts etc.!
Sounds more complicated as it is. Try it!
And if you´ll dig in deeper in this stuff you have to read here! Especially the Stickies/Refs/Tutorials! We´ve all done that!
have fun!

Brother, You can do it yourself, I can assure you. Regarding any ambiguity, you can contact me through PM. (I can guide you complete on voice over skype / msn). Its a TIDEOUS job but EASY to do since there is no MEANS OF BRICKING your kaiser (unless you flash something else than what u have do to install android).
I am here to help you in this community. And you can do this thing yourself.
Your device is At&t Tilt. The bad thing about installing android is getting a RIGHT kernel that suits your LCD type and enables wifi in the android build u install. (maybe in 1st try, maybe takes almost 10 tries like it happened for me)
UPDATE 274/2012
Okay. So, Nokser's FFUPartTool extracts the IMGFS partition from the FFU.
Barin's OSBuilder (here) can be used to dump the contents of the IMGFS.
The registry files can then be edited in HVEdit (link), and the IMGFS can be recreated using OSBuilder.
FFUPartTool can then be used to replace the IMGFS partition in the FFU.
This FFU now needs a Mazaa to be flashed on.
If anyone out here is brave enough to flash their phone, please report the results!
UPDATE 17/4/2012
So, as we all know we have a stock mango FFU for the Mazaa (see here if you don't).
And due to recent developments, we also have this: FFUPart Tool v1.3.1
What this means is, we can create a custom FFU for the Mazaa. Now, personally, I have never created WP7 CFW before, but Nokser, the creator of the tool above assures me the creating CFW with this tool is quite possible.
So, what are you guys waiting for? Race to the finish line?
My list of things to be done starts and ends with this: get htc connection setup to run.
That's literally all we need to kickstart the Mazaa scene. Once we have that, we can do the whole shebang.
We need a ROM image for the Mazaa before anything at all can happen.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the ROMs being used by people:
7.1.7649 - Test Rom. Has lots of interesting Microsoft applications (the zApps). But lacks quite a few features and stability.
7.1.7661.wp7_5_trial(mojobld).20110607-1657 - Similar Test Rom.
7.1.7720.68 - Locked bootloader. Phone is recognized as an HTC Device, but Connection Setup doesn't run.
7.1.7720.500 - Is basically the same as .68 but with an unlocked bootloader. Phone is not recognized as an HTC Device.
7.1.7740.16 - Updated via the official CAB [WP7 Cab sender tool]
7.1.8107.79 - via the official CAB [WP7 Cab Sender Tool]
7.10.8773.98 - via the official CAB [WP7 Cab Sender Tool] - 28/06/2012
Firmware revision number: 1600.1502.7720.68
Hardware revision number: 112.1410.2.0
Radio software version: 1.6.00.15.02
Radio hardware version: 8655/DDR2
Bootloader version: 7.27.00
Chip SOC version: 0.75.2.1
If anyone has different details, please post them.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The major problem with all ROMs is the lack of drivers.
1) LED lights don't function
2) SD Card slot
3) Connection Setup drivers
4) Internet Sharing doesn't work
Secondarily, because of the lack of connection setup drivers, there's no interop unlock. Which means no homebrew. Which means this device is pretty much what a technophobe buying a smartphone for the first time needs.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone know how to edit FFU (full flash update) files? They seem to be .cab files with a signed xml .blob in them.
Is there any way to edit these files?
Alternately, has anyone been successful at obtaining a stock ROM for the Mazaa? Because otherwise the device is extremely crippled.
Once we obtain a stock ROM, it's merely the point of identifying what drivers are missing, appealing to the DFT team to test the Mazaa to check whether HSPL/RSPL works, testing whether HTC Trophy drivers (and maybe other phones' drivers) work, cooking a rom, and flashing it. Once we get the ball rolling, it should all materialise.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, what other problems are people having with their Mazaas?
Here's a list of problems I've noticed across the net:
Low battery life (4 - 6 hours at most).
Inability to connect to CDMA networks
Can't use HTC Connection Setup - hence no 3g/mms on certain networks
Inability to connect to certain GSM networks - lack of a valid IMEI
Frequent restarts/hangs [2 - 3 per day in some cases]
Each of these are frustrating faults.
Here' to hoping that the hundreds of DEVELOPERS with Mazaas can put in a concerted, collective effort and get this going. EVERY other phone has been unlocked/tweaked/improved upon, so why not a limited edition developer-exclusive device?
Thanks for summarizing the various versions. As developers, with a concerted effort, we should be able to resolve the issues and make it work for us.
I think most people sold the device, even if this wasn't allowed, at least for the first batch (not those won, but those requested for mango/gyro dev)
I had hopes battery problems where in a faulty battery...
even if they're sold, someone's still using them!
And the battery problems were too widespread (more than half a dozen cases) for me to discount.
the IMEI problem on the other hand was in a single case - mine.

That's right, but they're probably not in dev hands anymore, so chances are not very helpful hands at this, especially since there's no more access to official updates.
All summed up, since not even the gyro works correctly on mine, it's a paper weight for which I'm still waiting for import taxes refunding
As far as issues, in addition to the above:
- I cannot send/receive MMS (SMS works, though)
- No 3G (DO or 2x only)
- 2-3 crashes per day
My build is 7.1.7720.68
Sent from my Mazaa using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I have HTC Mazaa
I have the HTC Mazaa device that exactly matches all the details given in the original post in this thread.
For me, its working perfectly, no battery problems (works for 2-3 days), no crashes at all, I can't say about 3G support problems because we don't have that in our country. The phone works perfectly fine.
I have dev unlocked the device from App Hub but would love to remove the interop lock as well...in fact thats what I came here for.
Please guide me.
Thanks.
When I first got my cdma provisioned Mazaa, it had a 7.1.7600_Main build on it. This was like the test ROM - it had the zApps. Looked to be the internal Microsoft beta for employees. I think everything worked on that, just Mango was crippled.
Does anyone have this? I flashed the ffu and the backups can't restore. It would be an interesting starting point if the oem bits are all there.

Please guide me on I can interop-UNlock the device.
How can I update my Mazaa to 7.1.7740.16 build?

Hello there,
Currently I'm using a Mazaa sent from MS with the 7720.500 fw, It has all the zApps and the internal MS apps like FindSomeone, it has battery issues (but it's not worse than an Omnia 7 with Mango), and there are four annoying things experienced:
- volume is always a bit too loud and MP3 playback is sometimes faltering
- when you press the ON/OFF button, sometimes the screen comes back immediately after turning it off
- when you place a call, sometimes the screen turns off immediately, which can be brought back using the proximity sensor (hold close to head, then move it away)
- cannot receive MMS messages
Exact details:
OS: 7720.WM7_Main(mojobld).20110723-1640
FW: 1600.1502.7720.500
HW rev: 112.1410.2.0
Radio SW: 1.6.00.15.02
Radio HW: 8655/DDR2
Bootloader: 7.27.0.0
Chip SOC: 0.75.2.1
I'm no expert in messing with phones (only using homebrews once they become 99.999999999% safe) but if I can help in any ways I'm not breaking this phone, I can surely do my part provided I'm given step by step instructions.
To update to 7740/8701:
Use the WP7 update cab sender tool here
Okay. So, let's get this sorted: We need a ROM. MSFT has said ROM. We need MSFT to give us the ROM. So, I'm requesting everyone: Send a message to whoever your contact is in Microsoft and let them know of the many problems that everyone is facing. At the very least, ask them to provide new radios to get rid of the hardware glitches. Granted it's a test rom, all the more reason that they should actually be working on it. A phone that doesn't work as intended is more a burden than not.

I'm sorry but I'm not going to be of any help in getting an updated ROM, since we are low on the supply chain. Also, the way we get each new build is by getting a new phone. (Send back old one, get one with newer software.)
I have an HTC Mazaa, running 7720. Everything is ok for a dev phone, I have no serious problems with it, except EDGE/GPRS not working and speaker emitting a loud tone when I'm calling a number outside my network. I'm thinking of installing the new updated build. How should I proceed exactly? Should I use the cab sender tool? I also want to mention that the phone is not dev unlocked, I'm still waiting for a student unlock. Thanks.
download the cab sender.
download the cab.
place the cab in the same folder as the cab sender.
run the cab sender.
send the cabs to the phone.
you're done.
I tried to update my HTC Mazaa and I got an error at the first restart. But, after that I typed *#06# on the Phone hub and I get this IMEI: 00A100000794C***.
I did it again, but this time, with my SIM card inside the phone. Unfortunately, I got the old IMEI message: Failed.

Is there anyone on xda-devs to help us update our HTC Mazaa and also do the interop-unlock?
Mazaa ROM
Hmm...
Here.
http://hotfile.com/dl/135477621/ed2186c/FlashClean.zip.html
That's an FFU.
Which cab should I use? Or which is the recommended one? Thanks.
Thankyou for that FFU
@abhilaksh Thankyou for that FFU file it saved me from alot of messing around. So happy to get my Mazaa back in working order. It broke on me a few months ago and ive been though hell trying to get the bugger fixed. It just got stuck on the mobile operator screen.

Even had it sent off to UK repair center for them to send it back in the same condition (Idiots). I was just about to send it off to a US repair center when i did some more searching. It worked a treat, really straightforward as well.
If anyone else is a noob in the same situation as i way id recommend these simple instructions:
1. Install Zune Beta Client (beta includes the UpdateWP tool)
2. Install the SetupUpdateWp.exe to get the tool
3. Follow these instructions to flash your phone

Thanks again, Rob
ok! where to even start...
I like many got this 2in1 at wal-mart and I live it. unfortunately I like many am not yet familiar with the new UEFI bootloader bios SOC stuff
heres what I do know and please correct me if im wrong. also please tell me if this 2 in 1 is and can be flashed the same as the asus t100
ok the Flexx11 has a bayntrail-t CR quad core processor 1.33-1.83ghz model Z3735F the t100 is3740
11.6" screen ips touchscreen at 1366x768 res
Efun is the corp and yifang vers.NX1106.1.02.008\139
THE BIOS IS YFG0315009112
it is a 32bit EFI bootloader
the reason I mention all of this is I have tried several times to dualboot androoid and each time ruined the computer and had to return it and I simply no longer wish to return it and love it to much to get something else
the first try the time began to lag and was unfixable for some reason the second time i somehow lost the keys booting and formatted wrong or something and the tablet bricked it would remain black with keyboard lit and no button combo could get it back no boot at all.
I am currently using AMIDUOS to run android kitkat and I love it but from what I understand it isnt compatible with win10 and really still isnt the same as the full android being on the tablet although really really close and awesome
but honestly I have been doing this stuff for years and now with this new windows secure boot and system on a chip stuff im lost
ever get anywhere with this?
I'm curious as well.
It has to be possible. I say that because I recently owned a ChuWi dual-boot device with the same Baytrail processor and SOC.
I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to take a system dump from one of the chuwi dualboot devices and flash it to the nextbook.
Sent from my Ascend Mate 2 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm also interested in doing this. It appears that the Nextbook Ares has the same hardware (minus 1GB RAM) but has Android. I contacted Nextbook to see if I could get a copy of the Ares Android firmware but was denied. If someone with the Ares could upload a backup that would be helpful.
I was finally able to get this working using this method...
https://hitricks.com/guide-how-to-dual-boot-remix-os-with-windows-uefi-legacy
So far I was able to get it to boot from a partition on the main drive as a test. In the process of installing to a secondary partition on my sd card. We'll see how it goes.
I wasnt able to get the boot menu that he shows but after going through the steps I then had an Android OS boot option in the bios boot menu. Pretty awesome! Runs great. Tried running Dead Trigger 2 as a test with full graphics. Ran perfectly.
I just bought one of these yesterday, and it shipped with Windows 10 Home 32-bit. I'm trying to install the 64-bit version but it won't boot from USB. Turns out it doesn't support 64-bit OSes. Where can I find recovery images for this? I messed up and now I don't have audio or touchscreen drivers.
64 bit processor?

Alright, I'm slightly confused now. Looking at system specs for mine it says it has an x64 based processor. Doesn't that mean it should be able to handle 64-bit OS? Even though it comes with 32-bit? If possible I would like to put 64-bit on it as well, but I'd like to be sure that that's not going to break it.

It just won't boot the USB. At all. Unless it's 32-bit.

I'm loving Remix OS on here with dual boot. Having some issues though and I really want this to work.
Main and I mean main issue is no sound at all, no rotation is next in line and Bluetooth isn't working. Everything else works great.
This is so awesome its like Android lollipop with windows desktop functionality. Now if I can get the bugs fixed I will be in android hog heaven.
GREAT FIND BRO!!!!! EXACTLY what I was looking for maybe even better than.
for those interested here is the XDA section for all things REMIX OS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix
By the way for those who may want to know I installed dual boot onto the hard drive it went with no issues.Here's some tips for flexx 11
1. I used a partition manager such as easy partition manager to partition the C: drive regardless of what the tutorial said. Couldn't use windows disk management. I deleted the recovery for an extra 5 gigs (make a backup if you do) I used about 19 gigs from the C: drive and made an E: NTFS.
2.Also do not use the remix files from that tutorial use the ones here from the main site http://www.jide.com/remixos-for-pc they are newer and the ones from the other post where incomplete. Also the newer ones on the site now include OTA updating which is totally awesome.
3. I'm hoping this will help someone..... After I was all finished I expected it to dual boot as any other dual boot restart and then i would see options for the OS's not the case here I got stuck on this I was using easy BCD and trying all sorts of stuff, once I looked at the tut a little closer I realized you don't need any of that. Once your all done do a restart and it will go back to windows as usual. Now go to settings, then recovery, then advanced startup and choose from devices I think its the second option on the left list. There you will find Android OS click that and it will take you to your dual boot options. Sounds a lot more complicated than it really is. But believe me once you know this your better off.
And that's all I've got please and I mean please post here with any fixes especially for sound and if you have questions I will try to help.
Thanks
PS: I AM GETTING OCASIONAL LOCK UPS, MEANING THE OS FREEZES AND I HAVE TO RESTART BY HOLDING POWER.
Im not sure if this is good news or not...
Using the methos outlined I was not able to get audio bluetooth autorotate and other things to work but after a bit of digging I found out that remix os has an image specifically for nextbook baaytrail (Our PC) here: http://www.jide.com/remixos/devices
click other upper left.....
I cannot find instructions to install this though and using the other install instructions from here fail because the only part of the file to replace is the system image.
I also attempted the other install methods and easy BCD does not work for this PC
So if anyone can help to install this file specifically for our computer as well as verify that it works and what works and how you installed would be great
OK this is really cool I have made headway sort of.
I have installed kit kat android-x86-4.4-r3.img using the Androidx86-Installv24-5800.exe installer and i have rotation, root and it works pretty good for the most part wifi works great so far no bluetooth, it freezes during shut down and the major issue as in most cases is the sound. Im not sure about the camera now that I think about but i will check and report back here.
I really want the sound working on this and I woud be bigtime happy this forum could be solved as far as im concerned
From what I understand there is a bug with baytrail and linux where the spp port is pointed automatically to the usb or something. but for the life of me after weeks of scouring the internet cannot find a laymens guide to a simple fix for this. I'm really not even sure there is one because I'm yet find a rock solid confirmation of a solution
Update: camera doesn't work either
So far the 4.4.3 port is the best. I just can't seem to find any help whatsoever so its looking like so close yet so far away. Its a pure shame that audio and a few other major bugs are the only things in the way of this being a fully working and easy dual boot method.
I have bought a nextbook flexx10 but am unable to install remix OS. I have followed all the steps highlighted before.
1. partitioned the drive with gparted to make a 10G NTFS drive
2. downloaded android x86 5.1.1 iso and remix iso from jide website.
3. used android installer and android 5.1.1 iso to install the image
4. used 7zip to uncompress the remix iso
5. then copied over the 4 necessary files from remix to the drive to the android drive
6. copied over grub.cfg
Now, I do see the entry for androidOS but when I select that, I just get a message at the center of my screen that says "AndroidOS boot failed" and a blue OK button in DOS like font. thats it.. I am interested in knowing if any additional BIOS settings needs to be tweaked.
furthermore, I have tried installing android x86 6.0 by formating the same partition as ext4. All proceeded well and i got to the last screen that said "Run android-x86 now" or reboot. I removed the USB and was able to get into android. (some missing functionality). But when i reboot into windows and try to boot into androis, I get the same message of Andoid boot failed..
Thus I need to know if there's some BIOS settings related to permissions or sorts that i'm missing.
thanks

Sorry for the late reply, use the installer and create a separate drive using C: like a D: or E: and get android 4.4 the .IMG that should work for you and the installer should do everything for you.
So use the uefi android installer after you partition a drive to load android 4.4 the uefi IMG
Its just going to piss you off though because there's no audio and seemingly no way to fix it, which is a crying shame ��
P.S. typically secure boot is off in the bios on this machine, but if by any chance you turned it on or the newer ones come that way make sure it is off or this will not work.
UEFI Settings
So I can get to a menu with 6 icons (2 rows and 3 columns) by running the "shutdown.exe /r /o" command and then going to Troubleshoot>Advanced Options>UEFI Firmware Settings and clicking restart. The problem is that when I get to this menu the touchscreen and keyboard do not work, and I can only move the highlighter up and down, not left and right. Hopefully one you guys have figured this out. I contacted the Nextbook support desk and they were no help at all.

Okay. So I was able to test this one of my co workers Nextbook and it seems like its a problem with mine.
This might be beneficial for us Flexx 11 users. It's a full port of Remix 2.0 to the Ares 8 with everything working except the camera rotation issue. Very promising. I've heard the hardware is similar. Working on attempting to install on mine. Anyone else tried it?

Hey guys,
NextBook Flexx 11, 64Gb, NXW116QC264, Windows 10
I'm really interested in trying to install Remix OS in Dual boot. However, in my trials, I goofed up my tablet. I found an image, but it turned out to be a Windows 8.1 image, and it wiped everything from my tablet. I had originally had Windows 10 on it.
Could someone perhaps be able to send me the recovery partition of their Nextbook; as long as they had Win10 installed. Maybe if I dump a Win10 recovery partition, I can do a repair on it and restore Win10 to the system.
I can't find the stock/factory rom for the Win10 version of the Flexx.
Thanks in advance,
Kori

Just to be clear...(and this goes for everyone wondering in the future) it was windows 10, from the factory??? Last i checked
they only shipped with windows 8.1 or android, depending on the model...If not and you put windows 10 on there, back when it was free, you just use the media creation tool from Microsoft to update windows 8.1 to Windows 10 (after restoring windows 8.1)... it can do this because most tablets have unchangeable hardware, so no cd key is required...it's like how your md5 hash verifies your downloaded files, Windows provides Microsoft with your hardwares md5 hash signature and if it is in the list, then it activates the pc/tablet... but, it only works if you got it free, not if you bought it... if you bought win10 then you will need your cd-key when you re-install, while the other steps are same as above... just note, that for the free upgrade there was NO cd-key, therefore in that instance, if it asked you for a key, you would leave it blank, which you can do in any case, and add your key in from Windows if needed...
And... as for the others having sound issues in Android, I read something about a reason for that having to do with something called an... 'audio stack', I think it was??? Not 100% sure what it meant, but basically, it is designed so the audio hardware only works in windows, I think... (so they can make more money, by making you buy the android tablet separately...)
hope this helps someone who stumbles upon this thread...

I realize this is a dead thread, but I had to chime in... I bought my NextBook Flexx 11 from Walmart 3 or 4 years ago and it shipped with Windows 10 Home, not Windows 8.1... However, IMHO, Windows 10 is a resource hog on this little device. I'm currently looking in to installing Linux...
