Hi everyone in the Remix OS section,
I've just installed Remix OS on my HP laptop and was impressed about its overview. Actually I haven't spent that much time on the OS, just rooted it, made a system dump and copied it to my Linux machine. I began porting the OS to my phone (an NEXUS 5X). Editing framework-res works, but I'm still struggling porting the apps. To me they seem fine and even there is no specific platform like it's only for x86 devices, but still there not installing on my device. I've also decompiled and recompiled them but with no success. So did anyone has a solution for me?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I wanna put Firefox OS on my GT-I8160 and get rid of that ... Android. What do I do? I don't have no big experience with moddin my smartphone, other than puttin 4.1.2 ROM on it. Based on some other threads I reviewed before, being:
[Q] Firefox OS on Samsung Galaxy Ace 2x
[Q] [ROM][B2G][LWW] Firefox OS
[Q] Firefox OS
, there're some ROMs but buggy (no WiFi, camera, GPS etc.). Have these been fixed in the newest ROMs for GT-I8160. Please guide me thru.
NOTE: I want to GET RID of Android (that's why I'm doin it), not install no plug-ons like 'Firefox OS experience for your Android device'.
Thank you very much in advance!

Take these sources: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g
Add our device source tree and kernel, modify ramdisk, apply our STE patches (the ones from j-aosp should fit aosp base of firefox os).
Then compile it.
But with your experience in that it will be almost impossible.
Personally I wanted to port it before, but realized that I'm in lack of time, and I don't really need it.
Ahhh,wait.... Firefox os is fully based on android.... Only one difference: it uses HTML applications instead of java.
Yeah, I'd probably need some help with these. Do you have any info on if this particular ROM still has them problems i described previously? Where can I find these things you listed? Is it all in the phone's general? Anyway, can I ask for links just for the sake of makin sure I got THE right one?
Isn't FOS better on security aspect because of sandboxin?
Is there ANY alternative OS you'd recommend to me, especially speakin of security? I DO mind Google knowin all where I'm even though I think my GPS' s off, and knowin all my data etc. . Thank you for reply BTW!
@up
You should compile from sources every alternative OS. You can't take it from other phone and port it. All bugs are device-specific.
There is no tutorial. Only generic-device ho-to-build tutorial. For FOS it's https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Developing_Firefox_OS/Porting
You should also adapt all STE patches. No one will teach you. It's simply impossible.
Alright, I'll read these, and try to find more on my own as well. Is there ANY PARTICULAR OS you'd recommend to me?

Have you actually tried the custom ROMS for our device?
For a budget phone, it does have quite some options, and most are running well.
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.
It is working on X98 Plus 3G ? (A6C9) ...

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?
2gb +32GB model
Thanks
Dear All,
I am trying to build lineage OS 14.1 for falcon, Moto G 1st gen device.
I was wondering to make changes in phone app, however, cant find its source.
I worked with AOSP 4.x for Google Nexus series a couple of years back.
The phone app source was in packages/app/Phone, but now it is not there.
Instead, I can see PhoneCommon.
Can anyone pls guide me, where to look for Phone app and how the Phone.apk is created.
Sincerely,
Navi
Hey guys,
I'm running Rexmix OS on my Pixel which means that i won't get an security update for Meltdown/Spectre...
Can i just put an fixed Kernel on it and go on with my marshmallow based Remix?
I found this one: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/tegra/+/android-tegra-dragon-3.18-oreo-r6
I couldn't find out if it even has the fix...
How do i flash it, I'm used to the one file fasboot flashing stuff :/
And btw does anybody know if Phoenix OS (seems like they are continueing the Remix OS) has planned to support Pixel C (they didn't reply to my email...)?
sry for all my n00b questions
could please somebody just tell me if i CAN update the kernel and keep the os? ...
I think kernels are specific to devices and android versions. So as long as the kernel you use is for the pixel c and the same android version as the rom you use, it should work. That said,you might struggle to find a pixel c kernel with fixes to those vulnerabilities...
Good luck, let is know if it works..
We are only vulnerable to Spectre you'd have to pull the patches from the common tree and merge in
live is a risk (spectre)?
ok thanks a lot for the answeres, guys; good to know that meltdown doesn't affect the pixel
since the only thing i know is copy and paste, i guess that's it for me :silly:
still didnt get an answer from the phoenix OS guys :/ I guess they are busy enough already
So whats your guys opinion: could I just stay on my remix OS marshmallow, be carefull using the web and untrusted app sources and just deal with the spectre thread? Live is a risk? :silly:
btw: are you guys cool with aosp roms? Personally i use the pixel like a laptop so normal android with the status bar and the weired button setup seems very unhandy for me...
I am Stock Oreo with freeform windows enabled via adb and "taskbar" app installed from play store to launch apps in freeform mode and quiet happy. Stock freeform is buggier than the implementation found on RemixOS or PhoenixOS but I get the latest android version, on the upside. RemixOs is dead and PhoenixOS doesn't even have a pixelC version, I think..
If you are worried about security , you can root and install a custom kernel too..

Hi all, I'm looking at a way to install a custom rom on my Nokia 5.1.
It's kinda slow so I wanted to either downgrade it to Android 9 or to install any other custom rom. Does anybody have a working guide to point me to? Unfortunately there are a lot on the web that simply don't work.
Thank you a lot!
Nokia did not share the device tree with us, therefore no ROMs are available
I also got automatically updated to 10 and it started choking itself, so I uninstalled every evenwell app via APT and switched from default launcher to "Rootless Pixel Launcher"
