Well, after digging a little inside the new feature of running android applications on Windows 10 mobile, i've found something very, very interesting:
WP10 is running what it seems to be a reduced android 4.4 version inside.
C:\wmconnect\platform-tools>adb shell grep ro.build.version.sdk= /system/build.prop
ro.build.version.sdk=19
Sdk 19 is Android 4.4
Also it's not using dalvik, it's using ART:
[email protected]:/system/lib $ ls libar*
ls libar*
-rw-r--r-- root root 1013644 1969-12-31 21:00 libart-compiler.so
-rw-r--r-- root root 2166912 1969-12-31 21:00 libart.so
[email protected]:/system/lib $
The kernel seems to be a modified MS version, i can't find too much related but one thing is for sure, MS should release sources as it is Linux:
cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.4.0-Microsoft ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.7 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 31 14:42:53 PST 2014
[email protected]:/ $
So far i've found a couple of apk's which seems to be the ones which interfaces android with WP10:
[email protected]:/system/app $ ls mic*
ls mic*
-rw-r--r-- root root 116078 1969-12-31 21:00 microsoftappservices.apk
-rw-r--r-- root root 300688 1969-12-31 21:00 microsoftappservices.odex
-rw-r--r-- root root 53633 1969-12-31 21:00 microsoftsystemserverapp.apk
-rw-r--r-- root root 76648 1969-12-31 21:00 microsoftsystemserverapp.odex
[email protected]:/system/app $
Attached are the deodexed files for the MS applications, still working on decompiling them, way rusted with smali
Let's the game begin..
EDIT:
Another weird thing, it appears that androids runs on an hyper-v machine ?
[email protected]:/ $ ls init.hyper*
ls init.hyper*
-rwxr-x--- root shell 1725 1969-12-31 21:00 init.hyperv.rc
[email protected]:/ $
If that is true, then we are talking about another potential feature, mobile virtualization.
EDIT2:
Another interesting thing SELinux is enabled, so is not going to be easy to modify files, we need to edit the security policies...
EDIT3:
Just got an update: build: 10512
aow.wim file located at: c:\windows\system32\aow\aow.wim
file uploaded to Mega
there is any way to hack this feature to accept google services? and how to explore these folders that you found?
we need to create a swap partition, cos with ES file explorer i can only access virtual storage, yes, it is 100% virtual machined, but we need a swap partition
We should be able to Install some system apps like gapps to make Google apps work with Windows 10...
I was just wondering if we can easily access /system/ and add files there... With interop unlock we should be able to access it but who knows?

maybe yes .
did you see leaked W10 Roms for L640xl and etc. ?
they are about 2.5 GB it's a real huge ffu image and it's about 1 GB larger than 8.1 ROMs so it maybe contains much much more for example as you said maybe include an IOS subsystem
but it's really interesting to see Hyper-V mobile version working on w10 mobile !

So theoretically we could create a swap partition via SD card (via linux) to support the android based eco system?

Nope, because it isn't a full system and a bootable hard drive (Currently Android Astoria is in a separate local disk and you need to configure 85456 things... and also need full unlock... for now).

Nope . it doesn't make any problem to windows store in mobile and also in PC .
why ? you can't use download managers , Players and etc. why ? because they don't have access to your files
OK you can for example move your song files into the android subsystem directory to use android players . that's right . but android apps aren't able to run in background .
they are very very very limited .
project Astoria will port android apps to windows phone format apps not running them in apk format .
running apk apps only good for using some games and apps . as you can see it's a developer mode option so it's not user option .
it will help developers to check witch functions of their apps are working correctly .
hope you got what I mean .

I've tested some apps and they run in background (ex. Alarm clock plus) seems like the MS apk's that came with the Android system interfaces with WP10.
On a side note, seems like the system does not behave the same on all devices, i have a Lumia 920.
Cheers.

THIS MAY ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR TABLET!!!!
Do this at your own risk!! I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your tablet.
Start by installing your favorite ROM and kernel.
Make sure you have adb working and CWM installed
turn off the device then boot into recovery. (vol+ and power).
once in recovery you must format the EXTERNAL sdcard into ext3.
Code:
adb shell
parted /dev/block/mmcblk2
mkfs 1 ext2
confirm
exit
tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk2p1 to format the external SDcard to ext3
mkdir /tmp/ext-sd
mount /dev/block/mmcblk2p1 /tmp/ext-sd/
exit adb and run
* this will take a long time *
Code:
on a linux box unxz bt5.tar.xz
adb push c:\path\to\bt5.tar /tmp/ext-sd/bt5.tar
adb shell
# cd /tmp/ext-sd/
tar xvf bt5.tar
rm bt5.tar
cd /
umount /tmp/ext-sd/
reboot the device into android and connect the INTERNAL sdcard to the computer to place files on to the sdcard.
make a directory called kernels on the sdcard and put the 3 zips from above in that folder.
bt5kern-01-20110525.zip
droid-kern_backup.zip
restore_droid-kern.zip
reboot into recovery and flash the
droid-kern_backup.zip this will create a backup of the android kernel. This will ONLY need to be done any time that you UPGRADE or CHANGE your android kernel.
once this is done you switch back and forth between android and backtrack with:
bt5kern-{date}.zip to boot into backtrack
restore_droid-kern.zip to boot into android
******* You do NOT have to wipe cache or anything when switching back and forth. Just flash whichever you want to boot into and you are done************

How to install backtrack 5 to run on the gtablet with out gtab filesystem modification.
You must recreate the img file to be less then 4Gb. The img file is currently 4.6Gb. The new image created will be 2.9Gb. this is a vfat limitation
this has been tested on vegan 5.1 with the gtab/zpad 1.4 OC kernel. Its still a little buggy with random reboots depending on what your are doing but it is a WIP
The kernel must have loop devices support. Also looks like the kernel needs swap functionality to be enabled.
I could release the img file that has already been created but backtrack would prefer that people not release other images so this will allow you to create your own after downloading it from them so it remains trusted.
you either need:
linux with ADB working on the gtab
OR
windows with ADB and access to a linux box with about 10gb of free space.
Backup your sdcard because it needs to be repartitioned with CWM.
In CWM under advanced > Partition SD Card > 2048 > 128
download the arm version of backtrack from www.backtrack-linux.org/downloads/
and extract the files. you need to copy the bt5.img.gz to the linux box and do all the following steps.
make a working directory for all the files, copy and gunzip the img file
Code:
mkdir bt5
cp /root/bt5.img.gz bt5
cd bt5
gunzip bt5.img.gz
rename the old bt5.img to something else and create a new image that fits onto the gtabs vfat filesystem.
then create 2 directory to mount each image and copy the files over to the new img file.
Code:
mv bt5.img bt5.old.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=bt5.img bs=4k count=900000
mke2fs -F -i 8192 bt5.img
mkdir bt5old bt5new
mount -o loop bt5.old.img bt5old
mount -o loop bt5.img bt5new
cd bt5old
cp -rp * ../bt5new
*****************************************
since the system does not go through the full startup scripts once you run "sh bootbt" you must run /etc/rc.local from the chroot to start the vnc server if you add these lines otherwise you must type them each time.
Code:
cd ../bt5new/
vi etc/rc.local and add the following 2 lines before the exit 0 line
export USER=root
/usr/bin/startvnc
save the file and then continue on.
also you can edit /usr/bin/startvnc and modify the screensize to fit the tablet
the gtablet is 1024x600
Code:
vncserver -geometry 1024x600
*****************************************
after all files have been copied over you just unmount the 2 directories and gzip the new image.
Code:
cd ..
(you should now be in the directory with the 2 img files and 2 directories)
umount bt5old
umount bt5new
gzip bt5.img
edit the bootbt file and change the line
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
with
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
*** this needs to be changed to whatever your /system is on your tablet or phone if it is something other then the gtablet.
now copy this new bt5.img.gz file over to the directory where you got the original image from and then follow the instructions that are included with the download in the README file.
a good VNC viewer is located
http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc-viewer/downloads/list
and also install a terminal emulator so you can start Backtrack 5 from the device.
---BUGS---
running from a terminal emulator everything runs fine but running VNC gnome takes up way to much RAM currently. Looking at fluxbox and/or swap as a fix. causes the tablet to lock up and must be powered off by holding the power button.
---Thanks---
The Backtrack Team -- for coming up with an amazing security distro
The G-TabDevs Team -- for the vegan 5.1 Rom
Pershoot -- for maintaining the 1.4 kernel for the gtab and hopefully adding support for needed features =)

_almost_ any version of linux installed on a computer (laptop or desktop).
you need about 8-10gb of free space after linux is installed.
like fedora, centOS, ubuntu, suse, slackware, etc.
90+% of the versions on this site would work www.distrowatch.com
I'll talk to Muts and see if he will allow the gzip. Maybe if it is maintained by you but released by them they might consider it.
These instructions are for running BT5 in a shell, not actually installing it as the working OS on the gtablet - right?

most of the tools for wireless were removed when they created the arm version.
I am going to try and compile them and see if they work when i get a chance (hopefully soon)
Ugh! That sucks! I did not know they did that. Since the gtablet has a USB port the USB wireless adapters (like the Alfa adapter) should work just as they do in the regular Backtrack builds.

The internal card is a broadcom 4329 so it should support everything also. have to wait and see.
Major progress made on booting native backtrack linux. Kernel boots but it missing a driver so it drops into a ramfs but getting close.
off to bed
I was so excited I forgot we run an arm processor! Good work to the devs on this. And although it was probably an ethical thing to remove all the wireless functions for ARM builds, It would be much handier than lugging around my old laptop with it's ancient battery that barely last 45 minutes under load.
Many thanks, I am subscribing. Just wish I could help
This is pretty awesome. Might want to check the debian or ubuntu ARM community to find out how the wireless drivers work there. I'm assuming our ARM runs in it's normal little indian, not ARMEB mode, right?

For those who want a tutorial, here's my experience in installing the system:
(PS: FOR those who want a really simple command-by-command tutorial, please see #26 post. That's part 1 of the tutorial on how to boot ubuntu up without wireless. If you need wireless working and want a command-by-command tutorial on that, just reply and I'll make it. )
I mainly referred to sp3dev's thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158260
I've make ubuntu run on my iconia, but I cannot let bluetooth run so you'd better have a usb keyboard and (if you could find the trick to use the touch screen, no need of) a usb mouse.
Tools to prepare:
1. Ubuntu OS on PC with adb tool.
2. A >=4GB microSD card and make sure iconia can identify it.
3. USB keyboard and USB mouse
4. rooted iconia with acer recovery installer, busybox, terminal emulator.
5. Perhaps more that I didn't listed
Files to download:
1. rootfs: http://www.dmmhosting.co.uk/tegra-rootfs.tar from Digitaldaz;
2. precompiled header: http://www.mediafire.com/?ucvk6x66129igzc from sp3dev;
3. itsmagic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121543&highlight=itsmagic from sc2k;
4. source code: https://github.com/astarasikov/iconia-gnu-kernel from sp3dev;
5. Perhaps more that I didn't listed
Procedure to install ubuntu:
1. Use your computer to format your microSD card into two partitions: one is in FAT32, to be used as normal external storage. Suggested minimum size is 1GB, to store backup file in step 2. The other is ext4, to store root filesystem of ubuntu. Suggested minimum size is 3GB. Tools: fdisk, mkfs.vfat, mkfs.ext4. Using sudo when making filesystem. Refer to rkaszala's post for further information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158260&highlight=itsmagic&page=12
(Comment: I use computer to format while he/she uses iconia to format.)
Make sure the formatted sdcard can be recognized by iconia as /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 and /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 .
2. Backup all data using itsmagic link above. Be familiar with usage of itsmagic, esp. use it to recalculate the checksum.
3. use tools here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126364 to flash the newrec.img file onto the /dev/block/mmcblk0p1, and use itsmagic to recalculate checksum.
3.1. on android system, use terminal emulator to copy /system/etc/nvram.txt out as bcm4329-fullmac-4.txt .
4. USING SUDO to unzip the rootfs tarball referred in Files:1 into the ext4 fs mentioned in step 1. If you do not use sudo, some device nodes will not be able to be created.
5. SUDO EDIT the etc/fstab IN YOUR UNZIPPED ROOT FILESYSTEM NOT IN YOUR OWN UBUNTU SYSTEM to one line:
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
6. compile source code using instructions by sp3dev here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158260&highlight=itsmagic&page=9 in the middle part of the page.
7. copy the compiled bcm4329-fullmac-4.bin firmware (should be at lib/firmware/brcm/) to sdcard's root filesystem's location: /lib/firmware/brcm/ folder and copy the previous bcm4329-fullmac-4.txt here.
8. copy the compiled modules into sdcard's root filesystem's /lib/modules/ (I forget the name of the folder so be sure to name it correctly. )
9. insert the sdcard into iconia and reboot with wolume down key pressed (the way to boot into recovery img.)
and now, you should have reached what I have reached.
If you failed on some step please tell me. All I summarized is what I have done, so please refer to their original post for more information.

Sorry if I've missed something here but I didn't realize your comprehension ability was the benchmark for tutorials being "good enough"
Troll or not, I hate attitudes like this. If everybody followed this line of thought we'd still be in the stone ages.
The whole purpose of a tutorial is to show people how to do something that is outside of there general knowledge. If adding more details to a tutorial will allow it to be useful a wider audience then surely that can only be a good thing for knowledge sharing and the author.
A video tutorial, if somebody can spare the time of course, would be great.
Hi guys:
Sorry I'm really busy these days so I didn't have time to give more detail on that. This weekend I will reinstall the ubuntu on my Iconia and will post a more detailed command by command tutorial here. I don't have a camera nor a phone with good camera so I'm afraid I cannot make a video, but if u have any question pls just reply here and I will get an email notification and I'll reach back asap.
The installation is tough yet exciting so I understand your feeling of getting ubuntu running on your iconia, but my word now is don't expect too much, it's just running yet still slow and I didn't patch some drivers on (At least now I cannot get bluetooth and nvidia drivers work but wifi works!).
Anyway, even if you're new here, I recommend you to read the links I posted above as they're good place to learn stuff.

I'm planning a video tutorial once I work the bugs out, right now still having wifi (it loads firmware but I'm not offered any networks, it statys "disabled") issues, and I'm working it out on Ubuntu 10.10 which doesn't have unity, unity is a POS, requires far too much of the gpu, and for our tab we can live without.
wish me luck!
Nice thread i am still working thru the wireless card issues
You cleaned up most of thenative linux thread nicely. I am still struggling with wifi. I made a 250mb rootfs trying for minimalize size

Noob question!
Can I use all 2gb SD Card to ext partition,and will linux fit in >2gb ?
Currently I'm using the one from Digitaldaz since I have not get a usable rootfs, but I strongly suggest u to use something built by yourself if you could.

I originally couldnt get the rootfs posted by Digitaldaz to untar tons of symlink errors. So i installed Ubuntu 11 on a desktop , built rootfs using rootstock.
Cool......

Still havent been able to get the wireless to work, found out that the brcm-bcm4399 had to remove the brcm- from the front. No more firmware errors. just not getting any wlan0 , when i dmesg | gregp brcm no errors there. Any ideas what to try now?
Get your wifi working? I did the bcm4329-fullmac-4.bin and nvram > bcm4329-fullmac-4.txt and then copied the 2 .fw files from the github. I am still not having any luck with wifi.
Wifi Update,
rfkill listall showed the wifi blocked , odd. So i did a rkfill unblock wifi and now i can get the wlan0 to ifup. But using wicd both wext and nl80211 i cant get it to do anything. thoughts?

That's how I get my wifi work. I don't know more about the detail. I think Digitaldaz add something in his rootfs as his rootfs tarball is ~400MB while the rootstock stuff is less than 300MB.
same root fs? cause last time i tried his was 1.5 gig

I mean his tarball. After untar it should be about 1.5gig. I installed some updates and it grows up to 2.0gig on my one. Should be same?

i'm working on an automated deploying (kind of the one for restoring the bios) and i will start with the 1050f one. automated because otherwise things can get messy
maybe you can prepare some tutorial for the X part based on your experience (tho i, as a proud windows user, didnt believed people use that stuff and i'm sure goes the other way around )

Most likely, if the linux graphics driver works with the embedded SoC graphics driver. And it seems Android also uses the same i915 driver.

Anyone??? Everybody was so excited and no one wants to try? I'll do it if nobody else will. For me it means backing up my current Linux and Android partitions (been working hard at getting them lean and mean) partitions and going through the whole flash from kitkat ordeal again... for probably the 10th time at least...

yeah, funny thing...
upped a first version of the tutorial
and the first batch of files (for 830 and 1050)
I could not wait a few days ago. I excited.
But I can't English well. So it is difficult to test.
I wanted the first Windows. But if Linux works reliably, I would choose Linux. (I'm ubuntu user)
I think Intel graphics drivers are going to be good as the performance by Android. (for steam game!)
However, one problem occurred.
I used data parted More than 20GB. (sry my english)
This space is insufficient to install Linux and applications and steam game.
The workaround is to install a Linux partition on the sd card.
Can I install a Linux partition on the sd card? (and run)
ps. After entering the text has been changed the post. I'll go to see the Thread.

this IS ONLY FOR UNCHANGED STOCK PARTITIONS LAYOUT (it will refuse to install if it detects that your data partition is not having the original configuration), it CHANGES your partitions by adding two more partitions a big one (min. 1024MB but you can make it bigger durin installation) and a small one for the original Android initramfs (read the tutorial to understand more) and that space is taken (ripped off) from the data partition. and whenever you will uninstall it will remove the two new partitions and restore the data partition to the original size
i did not did (i had a manual setup at some point) a setup to sdcard s it is too slow ( @workdowg can give you more details, as he stayed on that configuration more i went for the on the internal partition variant quickly when i've seen how much it takes to work with files when you 're having linux on sdcard)
also on the X related issues you should talk with him (i didn't used X on AoL, i only use shell tools/servers)
you should flash back your Android and check that you have the original partitions (number, size and names) before trying to install.
I have made a mistake when installing. (no insert rootfs file, uninstall, etc ...)
now. my /data partition 11.11GB (OMG,,,)
I've tried a factory reset. but no change. (GB)
how to? ...
ps. I want to work with the command.

use the corresponding tool from this post (if youre on lollipop use the lollipop one) it will open a root shell on a very early boot (without Android loading), you have to start in DnX mode then start the tool
after the shell opens, open another command window and push the extracted (attached) gdisk (it's a static IA32 version i compiled for working with GPT partitions) to your tab
adb push gdisk /tmp/gdisk, return to the root shell and input
chmod 755 /tmp/gdisk
/tmp/gdisk -p /dev/block/mmcblk0
and post the result
the partition.txt attached shows how ot should be default configurations of the partitions on a 1050 (830) device

but the root shell opens??? you must wait until it opens the root shell yeah, it opens otherwise you would not be able to push (i was reading too fast)
the window gets killed because the temp_root has a differnet version of adb and on your pc there is another and when you try to do the adb push you kill the adb from the tmp_root, but that is not a problem, just do a adb shell after you did the push and it will open anothe root shell and you can enter and input the other commands
also, have you seen the text file with the partitions? you seemed surprised and i don't know why, on the default configuration the data has around 11GB, do not confuse that with the whole mmc that has 16

what is your partition layout? it compares what he reads against the stock values and if they don't match he gives error.... can you run a command so that we see the EXACT layout of your partitions? (number, start_sector, end_sector, name)
you could use the commands i asked you previously to run
temp_root -> adb push gdisk... etc and you will get a print of the partitions on your device
what is your mmc capacity (16GB?) if your mmc is a 32GB one then download and use this
Just tried Windows Phone Internal Tools and got something. Since I have a Huawei W1's internal UEFI image, I dumped it and got the EFI Shell File. With USB MSC mode I replaced the original Bootmgr. Here's what I got.
The EFIESP Partition. See comments in pictures for more details.

You could edit the boot configuration data (BCD) and add a new boot entry for the shell. This way you dont have to over write bootarm.efi, but you can choose between the OS and the shell in a bootmenu.

I modify the BCD to boot my own entry when holding volume down (instead of the phone reset .efi).
Hello
I have modded bootarm.efi in EFIESP. This hacked file has ability to read BCE (not BCD) and load configuration during system startup. After starting, BCE file is not used and we can edit it without any errors or denial of access to the file. BCD file is not touched. OS permanently uses this file and protects it against any modification.
So... why i develop this mod ?
User can not modify, move, delete or even copy a file and any intrusion in the file ends in a denial of access.
BCE is only used when phone started and we can edit
BCD is used non-stop by the system and we cant edit
This is one of many elements of my big project for WP8 devices. I need develop and modify many things. Next step is modification UEFI partition and disable secure boot. I have some interesting ideas and i know how to send this file to phone
Acctually i have fully unlocked WP8.1 and W10M Custom ROM (FFU file) for Lumia 1520

Hey guys, recently a member from Discord channel (ikkun) showed me steps on how to root Phoenix OS by just placing the su binary in the system folder. This method is so much easier and convenient than replacing the system.img, that it should be the main way to root your Phoenix OS installation.
Advantages:
No need to wait to download and extract a 500MB system.img. Instead, download a 5MB .zip file
No need to do a fresh install. You can root an existing installation without removing all your data.
Play store and Google Calendar sync work
Tested and works with:
v2.2.0 64-bit
v2.2.1 64-bit
v2.5.0 64-bit
v2.5.3.64 64-bit
v2.5.7.348 64-bit (Tested myself)
(Probably works on your system too. Why not test it and post your results below?)
Instructions:
Download and extract the .zip file. For the purposes of the tutorial, I'm going to assume that you extract it in the Download folder and rename the SuperSU folder to su. Inside su, you should see META-INF, x64, x86, etc folders.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Open the terminal by pressing Alt+F1
If you have Phoenix OS 32-bit, type in these commands:
Code:
cd /system/xbin
mv su su.orig
cp /sdcard/Download/su/x86/[B]su.pie[/B] su
chmod 4751 su
su --install
su --daemon
If you have Phoenix OS 64-bit, type in these commands:
Code:
cd /system/xbin
mv su su.orig
cp /sdcard/Download/su/x64/[B]su[/B] [B].[/B]
chmod 4751 su
su --install
su --daemon
This screenshot is for 64-bit:
Note 1:
If after typing in the mv su su.orig command, you get an error saying:
mv: rename su to su.orig: No such file or directory
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That means your Phoenix OS installation does not come with the su binary. Skip the mv command and proceed to the next step since there is nothing to make a backup of.
I usually install my Phoenix OS using the .exe installer and always see the su file in that folder during the rooting process so I never see this error. It was never clear to me why people are missing the su binary, but my observations tell me it could be because people are installing it using the ISO file or using 32-bit. I never had the opportunity to test this out, but if you have this error, please post your Phoenix OS version, architecture, and installation method.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note 2:
Make sure you type in the commands exactly as provided. I saw other people were having trouble because they typed in the command incorrectly; they were missing a period after a space. It should be with a period and a space after the command (if you're rooting x64):
Code:
cp /sdcard/Download/su/x64/su [B].[/B]
and not:
Code:
cp /sdcard/Download/su/x64/su
The dot simply tells the cp command to place the file in the working directory (which was set earlier by the cd /system/xbin command). Alternatively, you can replace the dot with the current directory, the new command being:
Code:
cp /sdcard/Download/su/x64/su /system/xbin
It's just easier to type a dot then type out the whole directory, especially considering the fact that you can't copy-paste in the terminal (as far as I know, could be wrong)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Close the console by pressing Alt+F7. (If you have trouble exiting the console, post below with your Phoenix OS version and architecture. Then, try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7)
Phoenix OS might crash and restart. Using the File Manager, go to the Download folder. Navigate to su>common> and install Superuser.apk
Launch SuperSU app from the app drawer. Press Continue, then select Normal to update the binary normally. Exit out of the app after the update is successful.
Launch Security app from the app drawer. Click AutoRun.
Toggle SuperSU to enable it so that it can automatically run when other apps request Superuser access. Exit out of the app.
History:
Added notes for common errors people were having
Added another keystroke to exit console (Ctrl+Alt+F7)
Added screenshots. Removed unnecessary steps. Fixed grammar mistakes.
These instructions were posted in the Phoenix OS Discord Server by ikkun. Thanks to Chainfire for SuperSU.
Instructions ported from tutorial Installing SuperSU on Remix OS 2.0

I'm sorry, it's kind of hard to understand what you're trying to say, but I'm assuming this is a guide on how to set up a triple-boot system.

This method only roots the system, it's not supposed to fix the sync problems with Gmail. The problem exists even before you root, so we need to search around for a solution. I would recommend asking in the Discord channel and someone might shed you some light on this issue.
It is exactly it, forgiveness if my English is not very clear. It is a method to install a dual boot or a triple boot in this particular case on a tablet Teclast x98 or on a mini PC Pipo X7 that have the same characteristics it does not solve at all the problems of synchronization of Google moreover I have no problem of synchronization on Phoenix os 2.2

Oh okay, thank you for the guide, I hope others find it useful. The other reply was to another user, not to you. Phoenix OS has a Gmail sync issue. So if you try to install and sign into the Gmail app, you will not be able to synchronize your mail. You actually do have a synchronization issue, it's just that you haven't experienced it yet because you haven't tried using the Gmail app.

It sounds like you're not in the right folder. What Phoenix OS version do you have and what processor architecture? (32/64-bit) are you sure you're running the first command correctly (cd /system/xbin)? In the terminal, type in pwd and press enter. Post the output here. It should say /system/xbin. If not, use the command cd /system/xbin. If that doesn't work, type in ls -a and post the output here. Can you find su in that list of files? If so, all we're trying to do is make a backup of it before replacing it with the one we downloaded from Chainfire

Great, thanks for the pictures. So it looks like you already made a backup of the su, which is now named su.orig. Proceed with the rest of the steps

Thanks for all of your help, all the commands went in ok this time, however a little problem, ALT+F7 isnt working to close down terminal, so I have to force restart, then once its back up and running, continuing with the instructions to install super SU says not root found.

I don't remember off the top of my head, but try Ctrl+Alt+F7. Also, try other numbers for the F (Function) keys. If superuser doesn't work for you, go into the Security app and enable SuperUser for AutoRun.

Thank youu very much, strangest thing happened, just reinstalled the whole OS and all the commands went in this time perfectly fine, the keys to get out of Terminal are indeed Ctrl+Alt+F7.
Managed to have a bit of a play and sort of get the latest version of showbox running, also installed it through Kodi where it appears to be working perfectly fine, going to stick with this OS for a while now, does everything that I need it for, without the crap sluggishness of Windows, looking out for any future updates.

I'm glad you got it to work! I will update the OP with the new information. What made it work? Was it the fact that you could now escape the terminal or letting Superuser in AutoRun?
