Another tutorial. It’s different from the last one, so read carefully. You should also know some computer knowledge before this and not try this if you don’t know what you’re doing since this changes your bootloader and modifies your EFI partition.

What’s working: The brightness, USB, and graphics drivers.

What’s broken: Wifi, bluetooth, sleep, touchscreen, volume buttons, rotation, everything else you’d expect. It also seems to hang after a while on certain kernels.

Notes: THIS REMOVES THE ABILITY TO REBOOT INTO ANDROID FROM WITHIN WINDOWS. I HAVEN’T FOUND OUT HOW TO FIX IT. Volume buttons can be made to work since they’re detected in the kernel, but that’s beyond my knowledge.

Step 0: disable secure boot from the BIOS if you haven’t already.

Step 1: Download the ROM from this post. MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY. I downloaded the latest bleeding edge iso, but they all work mostly the same, only difference I could find was that some kernels are missing support for the power button. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/x86-bliss-x86-pc-s-t3534657

Step 2: following the install instructions in the post, use the “easy install” method by using the installer tool, picking your iso, and pressing install.

Step 2b: if the installer gave an error for some reason, here’s a workaround I tried. Install 7zip (if you haven’t already) and right click the self extracting rar exe and extract to new folder. In that folder there should be an Android_UEFIInstall.exe, right click, run as admin, do the same thing as step 2.

Step 3: Download EasyUEFI (google it) and set Android-OS as the top boot option.

Step 4: Insert keyboard and mouse and reboot. You should reach the grub bootloader. Luckily this time there’s nothing special you need to do, so select android-x86 and press enter to boot.

It should take 5-10 minutes on first boot. After that you’ll see the setup screen.

Afterword: Even though GRUB supports the volume buttons for selecting boot options, you need a keyboard to start it, making this very inconvenient to use.

You can uninstall the whole thing using the easy installer, but reboot to android service will still be broken.

About your Wifi, It does not look like the correct WiFi driver is being used. See this post where it says “driver: rtl8192cu” but yours says “driver: rtl8xxxu”, I think this is wrong. Your wifi adapter is RTL8188CUS which uses the driver rtl8192cu.

I achieved to get into BIOS and Apricity (live-usb) works well, everything except WiFi. Well, I didn’t checked miniHDMI because I don’t have an adapter.

I used Rufus program to do a LIVE-USB with APRICITY OS (.iso). Later, I turn on my laptop and I was repeatedly press ‘ESC’. I selected my USB as first  and I pressed ‘F4’ to save and exit.

I don’t want to install it because I’m afraid to my laptop don’t work later. Also I don’t sure if it’s a good idea install alongside with Windows because we don’t have enough space.

News about WiFi?

Hi!

Hope it helps 🙂

 

If I disconnect the wifi usb dongle, it doesn’t recognizes any wifi card. It is the same that ezbook2: I can see the wifi interface but I can’t detect any network.

[Antonio Álvarez Caballero]

Hello! I got this laptop three days ago and the first thing I did was installing ArchLinux. It works really great!

Working: Touchpad, sound, webcam, function keys, card reader, sleep closing the laptop.

Not working: WiFi, Bluetooth.

Not tested: microHDMI.

I couldn’t boot Clonezilla nor Gparted. I don’t know if it’s a problem of all Debian-based distros.

I will update this when WiFi or Bluetooth works! Having a little USB WiFi dongle is my workaround.

Regards!

I spoke too soon, even with the last driver the problem still persists.

For the moment I am using an external wifi dongle, this takes one of my two available USB connectors….

[Paul Gadsdon]

Well, it has a lovely screen that is even better once you notice that there is a second screen protector on it.  This one doesnt have a removal tab so can be a little difficult to remove

The wifi is really bad so I need to check the bios number and flash to the latest if its not up to date

It only seems to charge when on in Android.  But when I switch to windows it charges for 2 minutes and then stops – this is very puzzling and might be the lead supplied so I would like to know of a good usb c lead to buy.

Also the lead only charges one way round so I suspect that the connector in the device isn’t the best quality.

Oh and I new it didnt have GPS but it would be nice if Chuwi would consider it

And the key board is good quality but a little heavy

 

Cheers

So, answering this to myself:

1. I’ve not managed to get the RemixOS Player working. It keeps crashing at start with an qemu error
2. Dual-booting with RemixOS DOES WORK. I just tested it with an USB-Stick and after a succesfull boot from this I created an extra partition with 14 GB on the main drive. The RemixOS installer automatically installs a loader / bootmenu on this partition, so you then can choose after turning the tablet on, if you want to boot into RemixOS / Android or into windows.

Android 6.0 works, but with some glitches; the performance is not quite up to par with windows and it seems that the power-management of the chipset/CPU is not fully supported, so the tablet gets quite hot here. Also, Wifi is not working after a wake up from sleep, you have to reboot to turn it on again. Maybe those issues get fixed in later RemixOS-releases.

Google Playstore and most other things seem to be working (i’m no Android-expert, been using iOS since the beginning). I’m writing this text with Chrome under Android 6.0 with an attached USB keyboard.

I’ve got both an iPad Mini and an Android tablet, so I decided I wanted a fresh installation of Windows, and also in my own language.

Downloaded the Windows iso and made a boot USB stick using Rufus. Then I just booted while pressing F7 multiple times until the prompt for choosing start up medium came up, chose the stick and went ahead with the installation rutine. I deleted all partitions on the disk and merged them to one, and then let the installation procedure work its magic. All went well, also the activation is all right in Windows – no issues there.

Fresh windows installations always seem snappy, but the main effect this had on my Chuwi is that the shut off while in sleep mode stopped doing its thing. now its been sitting in sleep mode for three days and I’ve been using it from time to time, a little gaming, browsing and some installations of programs I use. Really happy now with my Hi12, it’s a great device for the money I’d say.

The drivers was installed on first boot from the file here on the forum under Downloads, and everything works fine. Touch screen, pen, wifi and Bluetooth. Did all this just using the metal version of the Chuwi keyboard, no problems doing that.

Just wanted to share my experience so far. not disappointed at all with the Chuwi hi12. But of course, it’s maybe not so good for the average person who is not used to flashing firmware and reinstalling OS. I’m using mine without any screen protector, I use it in the living room on a table with the keyboard as a regular PC, it’s a bit on the heavy side for lounging on the sofa but on occation I’ve also done a little Netflix on it.

Linuxium’s 17.04 Beta 1 version
Did you run the script(s) that Linuxium said is required to make audio work?
By the way, I don’t know if he is talking about normal audio here or HDMI-audio.

“Kernel update scripts are provided for updating the kernel and require my ISOs to be installed as a pre-requisite otherwise you will be missing the ‘userland’ files required for audio, wifi and bluetooth. To upgrade the existing installed kernel to the later version provided by the script first download the script and after making it executable…<stuff deleted>…”

Hi,

no.
I also thought it could be just for HDMI, but I haven’t run them because I just tried in Live USB Mode.
I will first boot a plain (x)Ubuntu version, and only after I will give a try to install linuxium’s version and apply patch. 😉

Thank you Joachim! I had a few problems too with atoms processors wi-fi BT.

The core-m and Wacom Pen on Cube Mix Plus is a nice feature, although 16:9 aspect ratio is not one of my favourites. I wanted the tablet for sublime text programming on the go and also for note(pen) taking clients/projects.

I’m also curious also about the cube i35 and xiaomi Mi Pad 3.

About your mac mini USB3 issues, in my case I have a desktop hackintosh, sometimes the magic BTooth trackpad cursor slows down when downloading large files via wifi.

[Joachim]

I’m using the Cube Mix plus with BT keyboard and mouse (Logitech K810 / Swiftpoint GT) and there are absolutely zero problems with Wifi. Wifi also is blazingly fast on this device and has good range compared to the cheap Atom Z8x00 devices, even slightly better than on my iPad Pro.

Also no problems on the Cube with Wifi, Bluetooth and USB3 at the same time (there are some Intel devices, e.g. Mac mini that tend to have problems with bluetooth when USB3 is used).

 

The display is good overall, but maximum brightness could be a bit higher for my taste (here, the iPad Pro definitely is much better); also it’s very glossy, so working in direct sunlight is not very good.

Hi,

I have an Hi8 (not pro), i was experience windows update problems, and i tried almost everything to solve it. Last week i used the automatic fix and it worked. It performs a delete in the updates folder and reset it. Ok it performs some normal updates.

 

Since then on the next reboot, multiple devices appear greyed out in the device manager and stats to connect the device, the driver was mantained.

The devices greyed are touch, sound, sensores, battery, camera, some usb.         Wifi and bluetooth works.

Any ideia how to solve this? Or i have to perform a clean install? Uninstall the updates? I searched a lot and i didn’t find any related to this.

I don’t have the android partition, but it always worked alright.

 

Regards

Hello to all, I am trying to flash C2E3 TECLAST x98 Plus 2 (Android only : 2GB RAM +32 GB user) using Teclast package . Goal is mainly to try to improve a very poor wi-fi sensitivity and install OTA application which has never worked. In Teclast X98 Plus Android firmware update tutorial, it is mentionned to Copy CUSTOM_CONFIG.INI (in Firmware folder) but I can’t find it after unzipping the package as I have only a config.img with size= 4281 ko. Does anyone has encountered this problem and was able to solve it ? Thanks in advance for your kind support & best regards, Jean

I’m not sure if your BIOS comes with the support for the dual OS mode. It would be a good thing to make a backup of your BIOS image since it might contain some hardware specific modifications (image sensor, wifi, bluetooth, etc.). Also, I’m not sure if you need to first flash a dual-os supported BIOS into your device. Can you tell us what version of BIOS do you have? You can enter BIOS by holding Power and Volume+ keys when starting your device or by connecting a USB keyboard and pressing Del key during boot.

I would be interested in your single-os BIOS image, since I have a C2D6 version of the X98 Plus II device and I have problems with micro SD card. I’m starting to wonder if problems come for the dual-os BIOS that is found in our devices, so I was thinking about flashing single OS BIOS version.

As for the WiFi and OTA updates, you’ll quite certainly see no improvements there. WiFi has hardware/driver related issues and OTA updates would mean that Teclast is actually providing support for their devices and that is a joke.

To get newest Android image, you can simply download it from their web page.

EDIT: After rereading your post, I see that I’ve made a wrong assumption about you trying to install dual OS system. Sorry :/
