For the wifi, the card is probably rtl8723bs from realtek. There is a driver for Linux :

It has to be build before install. Maybe it can work with remix/phoenix…

Hello.

After trying every suggestion I found here and in other places, I need to inform that I’m still unable to fix the WiFi. I ordered a USB WiFi to keep testing.

However, thanks to you guys, I read a lot of good stuff. All the installations I did were done with “desktop” versions of Ubuntu, Remix and Phoenix and while I was able to run them smoothly form my USB 2.0, because they’re desktop versions, the touch screens didn’t work. However, the keyboard and mouse track worked perfectly.

The sound issues has to do with Intel not supporting Android and Linux, some patch were done, but nothing definitive yet. I realized that we need “tablet” versions of Ubuntu, Remix and Phoenix with the sound, touch and WiFi modules already build. I think Chromium and Googles Chrome OS with Android apps will change that in a few months.

I found a very interesting site from a guy named Ian Morrison (http://www.linuxium.com.au/how-tos) who has  versions of Ubuntu, Chromium and Android x86 that I’m going to try soon!

After installing a WiFi USB adapter and disabling the Chuwi one in Windows 10, now I can use WiFi in Remix OS. Screen gestures and sound are still broken, but now I can surf the web.

I’m using the XDA Hacked version installed in an USB 2.0 drive.

According to   http://techtablets.com/forum/topic/linux-on-atom-based-devices/page/10/#post-40557  there is a custom-made distro (xjubuntable) that supports (some?) touchscreen for chuwi hi10.  Have you tried that and see if touchscreen works on the hi12?  What about the stylus — just for notes taking?

Thanks!

Hello ausername. I’ll try that during the weekend and I’ll let you know. Things at work are crazy!

Thanks, and I look forward to your update!  In the meantime, a couple of follow-up question:

1. Did you get the dual-boot version of hi12, or the original single OS?
2.  Did you update the bios (to fix wifi, for example?), and if so, what’s your current bios version?
3.  Did you run ubuntu etc via live usb or did you actually install them on the emmc?  And did you use UEFI boot or legacy boot?
4.  What kind of battery life did you get in ubuntu?

   THANKS!

[Rogus Mortem]

1. single OS
2. No bios update
3. <span style=”line-height: 1.5;”>I run ubuntu via usb</span>
4. battery life seems normal to me

I stopped playing with other OS as sound and touch from desktop versions doesn’t work!
