Nope, you can’t cpu scaling not working with remixOS, system uses 100% of your cpu all the time.

Unless you are linux/android guru and know how to fix it 🙂

Is there any change this will get fixed in the future? Kinda bought the tablet to use it with RemixOS as well as it was shown to be working in the review video by Chris.

I don’t know you can ask from there

https://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os

Their head developer left remix os project, so there might not be any future updates. It’s not certain tough.

Good to know, I was thinking to install it because, for my work, I need to register my devices so I can use their app and Memu is the only one I can register like a normal Android device.

Android x86 is the most complete Android experience I’ve been able to get with this baby. It’s not perfect, but it works, mostly. I’ve tried Emulators like Bluestacks and Andy, and Android x86 still works the best in my opionion.

The things that aren’t working, are the Microphone, and Rotation (the rotation can be manually changed with apps from the Play Store though).

Hey guys can anyone help me with remix OS/ Android x86 installation on the cube i7 book? I really would love that, I’m feeling win 10 isn’t all that great as a solo tablet OS, I would like to have Android..

I tried MEmu, but I feel it is a bit slow, I tried playing the game ‘ Alto’s Adventure ‘ on MEmu vs the native windows app, it ‘feels’ smoother ( no input lag ) on the native app, so I guess it would work better on the x86 ported android..

Probably best to sell this tablet and get an android one.

I agree. If you don’t like tablets with Windows the best thing is to sell it and buy an Android tablet.

No.. don’t get me wrong… for working on the go and other demanding stuff, this tab is amazing, I do love it a lot! it’s a surface pro for 1/4th of the price :P. It’s just that my little brother loves android games, so I would like to know if a good android solution is possible on this… And surely i’m never gonna sell this amazing device..

Remix OS is incredibly easy to install using the application distributed with the ISO. You even don’t need a seperate partition, just run the app from Windows. You’ll need a keyboard to switch to Android to switch to Android and back in th Grub menu though.

Most emulators are also easy to install. I thought I need a dual boot tablet before I got this one, now I very rarely turn on the emu for a few apps not available for Windows 10.

For just games you can easily use emulators. Memu says it’s good for games.

How to get dual boot option on cube i7 book? I got it after installing remix os, but the next ime I turn on the computer it just comes to built-in EFI Shell and I can’t start windows nor remix os. The only way was pressing the reset button and then I can use then boot manager and use both OS, but just for a second time because the next time I turn on the computer I finally get permanently the EFI Shell and can’t start, and the reset button stops working. I get back everything to work with the original hard disc (I have two, the original with 64 gb and a KingSpec of 250 gb, in the second one I’m trying to use the dual boot win10 / remix os). I’m looking in the BIOS setup to find something that prevents the tablet of starting normally with both operative systems, but I haven’t find it, yet. Anyone was luckier than me who can help us to use dual boot on the cube i7 book (or the stylus, or the mix plus, which are almost the same tablet).
