Remix 2.0 on Chuwi Hi12

According to this thread https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=223426&start=200
Remix 2.0 is available for the Chuwi 2.0
I have a dual-boot (Android/MS win10) Chuwi Hi12.
What would I gain, other than a MS win10-like UI, by adding Remix?
What complications may Remix introduce for long-term maintenance, and perhaps future app-selection, please?
Thanks - David

You should better ask here.

Hi David,
I bought a Chuwi Hi12 some months ago after crashing the W10 on a Teclast X98 Plus. Worked nicely for some months although I saw some BSD's right from the beginning. But then it started to reboot (with BSDs) several times a day. So I decided what the heck throw off W10 and go for Remix 2.0. So I flashed Remix 2.0 on an enlarged partition (gpt.bin from X98 Plus) and now I am running Remix as the only OS on my Chuwi Hi12. Looks good, feels good and does not reboot every few hours, so it was W10 which could not handle the Chuwi hardware.
Regards,

[BUMP]
I would like to buy an inexpensive, large tablet, but I don't want Windows 10.
The Chuwi H12 meets my hardware requirements (Good resolution, Stereo speakers, real USB ports even without keyboard dock, USB charging).
and Deal eXtreme still has them in stock.
I see the official remix OS 2.0 firmware on the Chuwi forums, but it does not look like there are/will be any up dates.
Are there any updates?
What works, and what does not?
Is there any hope of the rumored Chuwi Remix 12 pro? (or another Remix 3.0 device?)
Can I fall back to Ubuntu? What works and what does not (with current kernel/Ubuntu)
Yes, I've been Googling, but I don't see much in the way of current (last 6 months) articles. Has time already left this device behind? Has it left Remix OS behind?
Thanks for purchasing recommendations.

Here's Remix OS for various Chuwi devices. Hi12 is supported with compatibility patch.

That looks awesome ! I haven't bought my large tablet yet, but that looks like an awesome ROM. I see that you have a cyanogen too, as a fall-back.
I really like the Chuwi Hi12 with the 2 full size USB ports, "normal" (Micro USB) charging, and a great screen.
I am also considering some other 12" tablets that should support Remix, as well as Ubuntu 16.xx "out of the box". The availability of your ROM is a big plus for the Chuwi.
All it needs is a big Chewbacca sticker for the back :silly:
Has anybody noticed that Google translates "Chuwi" into "Out of"? Most of the Vendors seem to be "out of" the Hi12.

Techtablets on YouTube has info on the new 13inch Chuwi tablet that is just about to hit the market. Just like the Hi12, it's only being released with a single Windows10 platform to start with. It's a brilliant review outlet on YouTube, I suggest those that have not seen it should give it a view.

Try Cyanogenmod 12.1, works best with it.

BIOS Updates are always risky bro.
Don't do it if you don't know the risks.
Myself I updated the bios without problem on my hi12 dualboot

Lineage 14 for Galaxy Nexus

Any chance of getting Lineage 14 for the Galaxy Nexus or is the phone too slow and RAM memory too limited for this version of Android?

Any developer is allowed to build Lineage using the work done on Unlegacy. But this is hard work and everyone here is a volunteer. Unless you know someone who can help, the best you can do right now is running Unlegacy. I don't know if there is any developer who will take a donation from you as a bounty to get if working, but you could message them to ask.
This thread is technically off topic for the development forum

There is also Unlegacy 7.1.1 for our GNex (that ROM was, in fact, my introduction to N on ANY hardware). So why am I not running it now? Simple enough - PureNexus 7.1.1 includes both the Pixel Launcher AND Google Assistant (which can be run together or separately; I run them as a tag-team). At some point, I hope to ambush some unsuspecting Pixel or PixelXL owner with my GNEX.

Does the Pixel Launcher work on the Marshmallow based PureNexus ROMs as well?

No idea - it is included WITH the 7.1.x ROMs (both 7.1.0 and 7.1.1). There are ways to add it to 6.x (or even 5.x) - still, I like 7.1.x because it actually feels more *whole* with both PL and Google Assistant in place - which is why I am still hoping to find a Pixel/XL owner to ambush here in VZW turf.

I think that it is better to have threads if people with various problems can help solve the problem.
He will be welcome if it is a thread for that.
If problem solving is possible, he will post for that.lol

Just remain patient.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus (i9250, "maguro") is pretty similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300), which already got LineageOS nightly. They're very similar phones when it comes to features and exterior. Both have 720p AMOLED screens, front-facing and rear-facing cameras, approximation sensors, light meter, earpiece, microphones, headphone jack in exactly the same places. Both feature 1 GB RAM and 16 GB eMMC. Both have HSPA+, but no LTE. They're also just half a year apart concerning their age (December 2011 vs. May 2012). They both feature an ARM Cortex A9 processor, though they utilize different SoCs (GNex = TI OMAP 4460, S3 = Samsung Exynos 4412).
The G-Nex seems to have a larger user base than the G-S3.

OnePlus or Xiaomi Mi 6

Hi All!,
I am a current OnePlus 3t user, and it's a great phone. I was looking to get a new phone for 2 main reasons:
The space on the OnePlus I have is limitted to 64 Gb, I am running out.
With the new Snapdragon 835 out, I thought I'd look for a phone with that if I were to upgrade.
So I thought I'd check out the OnePlus 5, however the price of it put me off. Having done some research, I really like the look of the Xiaomi Mi 6. However there are a few things that are still making me reconsider:
The reviews I have seen have commented the software is buggy. It crashes and stops working at times. The software on the OnePlus 3T just works. I've not had any problems. If I get the Mi6, will it be a case of buying a buggy phone?
Also with the software, I've never used MiUi, and personally I like the simplicity and near stock Android on the OnePlus. How big of a change is the MiUi and is it customisable?
Does the Mi6 have the ability to capture RAW images?
Thanks in advance! :good:

I migrated quickly to Xiaomi.EU ROM when I purchased Mi6, although I didn't have any problem with (fake) supplied ROM.
I've used my mom's 3T for quite a bit, and the stock Android feel of OxygenOS and frequent and fast update from OnePlus is the big... plus.
MIUI, on the other hand, has very bad notification handling. It feels like you're using Android 4.2/4.4 something. You can't swipe left/right on the lockscreen notifications to make them go away, nor you can't expand it nicely like in pure android (You can do it on notification shade however, using 2 fingers, but the experience just sucks). I tried floatify to emulate the notification in stock android, but it's not enough.
MIUI for Mi6 hasn't provided RAW capture capability AFAIK.
OnePlus 5 has released their kernel source, so dev can easily start working custom ROM on that. But Xiaomi has been notorious keeping the kernel source for a long time (about 6 months+ on previous flagship), that makes the non-MIUI based ROM harder to develop.
I'm currently trying to get LineageOS installed on my Mi6, I'll post more on that LineageOS thread maybe tomorrow evening or the day after.

There is always some plus and minus. I’ve been using Xiaomi 5 Pro and I’m very happy {:m034:}
I used to have One+1 and One+3. Both were great phones.
With perfect Quality/Price factor. Even with EU prices:-/
Now I had been waiting for One+5 and all-around I’m very disappointed wit it.
Reason?
USB 2, No OIS, Software AND Price for EU!!!
It’s not the Flagship killer anymore, it starts to be exclusive peace of equipment.
My main decision point (quality/price factor) dropped down rapidly.
I really prefer MIUI in comparison to Cyanogen (1+1) or OxygenOS (1+3).
With weekly Globe-Roms upgrade (http://mi-globe.com) I’m really satisfied. Mi 5 works very smooth.
OK., it’s with open boot loader and rooted, but all my phoned have been same way in the past
(and will be in future )
I do not remember what I used in the first case, but in 1+3, I changed it to Resurrection Remix ROM.
I agree that all Oneplus society forum support is great. Same with software developers.
I hope that here in MIUI world it will be the same soon.
Especially that after all comparisons of my own, I decided to order Mi 6, 6/128 one.
))

Without any doubt the mi6, and specially if you can buy it at 369USD in some aliexpress offers.

I just Got the Mi 6 pro. Fresh in my hand. It looks great, and feels excellent. It's running very smooth at the moment but hey, is brand new.
I have my 3t on hand.
I think most of the comments are correct. One plus updates quick esp of your on the beta stream, it's smooth and you don't have to deal with MIUI overlay - the OnePlus launcher is excellent.
The Mi 6 is very emotional - what the 3T has and the 5 does not.
Practically, get the 5....you know what to expect. The Mi6 feels great though.....!
I have to edit this: having had the phone for a week - the Mi6 is the smoothest, fastest phone in town right now, period, including the S8 Plus. It's very slick indeed, very, very quick, had an excellent camera and great Sound.
It's very difficult to put the Mi6 down and pick up any of the other phones.

It's gone. That was the 28 June sale on a couple of sellers. I bought mine then, still waiting for it to be posted...

On the same boat. I have been reading about the touchscreen delay problems,bluetooth connectivity and some other bugs and i am hesitant to do the leap of faith on mi6.
One plus 5 on the other hand has such community and gets so many updates that you are sure that software problems will be fixed as soon as possible.

If you find bugs on MI 6,you can tell the developers of Xiaomi to fix them.

I got both the op5 and Mi6, the op5 has an real deal-breaker with the "jelly screen" design flaw. As for now there is no fix and oneplus says its "natural". So the Mi6 is an better choice for me.

i recon that bluetooth bugs have existed with the launch and they are yet to get a 'fix'.
Updates for global seem non existant but on the other hand thats what you get for the mi series. Xiaomi is pretty great for international devices, mainly speaking about the redmi series. Rest seem to be left untouched(Mi mix,note 2, mi5 s etc).
I am gonna hold myself from buying this yet.

Whyred is not officially supported by lineage os anymore!!!!?

I've been using pixel experience for a couple of months but i think lineage os is a little snappier so i decided to switch back but I can't find the official build for it anymore, the device is nowhere to be found in the supported device list. Is this the end?!!

Yes. Maybe they will move to redmi note 7/7 pro.

They sure dropped this phone fast, its not even a year old. And besides the RN4 is still supported but not the 5? WTF
And theres still no global RN7 version either so why the rush.

One reason could be that many developers of this phone got an upgrade to flagship level phones like Pocophone F1. I'm assuming the official Lineage OS developer was one of them, which may have affected the update intervals and features with time. Maybe that's why the Lineage OS team chose not to keep this phone on their list. (Unless if a developer invests their skills and time on this).
Also, Lineage OS also didn't stand out that much in this device's forum because of Custom ROMs like Pixel Experience, HAVOC, AOSIP, and OEM ROMs like Oxygen OS and Samsung Experience. These developers have contributed so much that Lineage OS was not really needed that much. (Please Thank these developers on the forums and donate, if you can. They really have worked hard on this)
I could be wrong but it must be related to either of these things.

???

Does anyone has the last official build? is not on the official page anymore

Advice requested: which tablet is a good follow-up and will be supported by lineageos

Hi everyone,
I'd like to replace my chagallte (galaxy tab S) tablet: it did its job very well, and still does, but the android 7 is becoming somewhat outdated, so it becomes hard to keep up-to-date with the newest features. Unfortunately, LineageOS gave up on chagallte @ 14.1
So, I'm looking for another tablet 10" with more or less the same features, and a bit more up-to-date specs. Especially with LTE support, and LineageOS supported. I know it can't be predicted, but does anyone know a brand / model from which you can say "this one is likely to be supported for a few more LineageOS versions"?
I do not care about the price, but I don't want to spend €3k for an iPad (duh)
To-be-released tablets are an option as well: you can consider it a HW feature update, not a HW bug, so it doesn't need to be replaced immediately
Any thoughts?
