RemixOS anyone? - Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
has someone maybe tried to install RemixOS on the windows version of the Yoga Book? I would be interested if everything works well or if there are any drawbacks? I think if it's good enough for daily use we could get the best of two worlds - if you need it you could fire up windows and otherwise you just go with the (imho very exciting) RemixOS Android for x86 systems.

I tried to get Remix OS to boot from a memory stick but it got stuck on the Remix OS logo. I'm not sure if it is because it was connected via USB 2 and not USB 3.0, or if there is another issue. I also have a feeling if you could get Remix OS to boot the keyboard wouldn't work.

It boots but indeed keyboard doesn't work, so you cannot go further in the android initial setup. Also screen is rotated (sensor seems to not work) by default.
There's been an ota dump provided in a thread I started here if you also want to hack your way there.

What about now

[Q] Firefox OS on Omnia 7 (and Windows 7 Phone devices in general)?

The best I've found out there is a recommendation to "try teaching your toaster French." There seems to be a few hints out there that the Omnia 7 can be flashed at least to different versions of Windows Phone 7. Is there a working way to get Android onto the phone? If so, can this method be used to hack Firefox OS on there as well? The phone fits all the hardware recommendations for the OS, and we have a spare one floating around the office I thought I might try to flash it onto.
I've already taken a look at the wiki page for the phone and found the drivers and flashing utilities (tucked away in anonymous downloads in the sketchiest parts of the internet) mentioned there. What is the procedure for putting Android on a Windows Phone? Is there a build of Firefox OS that might work, or should I just set the Omnia aside for now, roll up my sleeves, and start helping with the B2G project on GitHub?

{Q} Custom ROMS (AOSP/CM) for Galaxy A8 (SM-A800F)? Any possibility in Future??

Hello all
I was wondering if there will be AOSP/CM ROM for this device, not a single ROM is available and no dev is interested to work on such a great device.
Such a totally crap device, still stucked on 5.1.1 since launch, no dev is interested in the development either, where android n announced already, we are still waiting for Android M update, i wasted my money on such a **** device, will never buy a sammy mid range in future, m totally fed up with this
I think because there are few developer with that phone and they can't test their work. You can port ROMs such as CM to you phone by your self. There are tons of guides and forums. All u need is a linux OS (such as ubuntu, debian and others) and sources.

yep, I'm on kali and I use windows 10 to play games, so the only thing is: take care when partitioning. After you installed ubuntu there is a bootloader called "GRUB" and there you can choose if you want to boot windows or linux

Android rom dump?

Hello,
Can anyone provide a dump of their Android rom or a link to a full OTA?
Would like to try to get it to dual boot on Windows version of the book.
Thanks!
if i'm not mistaken it would require root to make a full rom dump.
unfortunately we don't have root by now.
Remix OS
If someone could get Remix OS working with dual boot that would also be awesome Very keen for a dual boot solution and I think Remix OS would be a good fit for the Yoga Book. Although I'm not sure is the keyboard would work, would you need a driver for it?

hi...
does anyone have stock rom for YB1-X90L android Or how can i get it...
thanks in advance...:victory:
Anyone has been able to install Android on the Win Yoga Book? I love the functionality of Windows but sometimes it's a little laggy. I'd love to use Android for the daily stuff and use Windows for more complex tasks. I've seen that Lenovo posted he sourcecode of the Android OS for the YB. How can I install that on the Windows machine?

my nextbook
Hello everyone,
I have a hybrid tablet is the nextbook flexx 11. I installed the Phoenix OS successfully, but when booting to the OS, the screen is vertical display of the tablet rather than horizontally when the keyboard dock (both Remix OS It is very difficult to do). I tried the auto-rotate screen but failed, so still. I think it does not pick up the sensor. Please let me ask you how to fix this. Any help or comment received a sincere thanks from me.
(Very sorry for my bad english)
Thank you all.
Look forward to everyone, good day i'm too bad!

Good experience til now better than bliss

Hi guys,
Can someone confirm if this can run on a PC with an external monitor connected via HDMI?
If that this possible can you let me know the steps taken to get it to work?
Thanks!

Hi, anyone with webwiew problems ? it just keep crashing...with xdalabs and some others apps as well. i did update webwiew but nothing changed...
Edit: mybad, I did switch multiprocessor webview in developers tab, turning back solved
Read up on libhoudini. I think Nougat x86 has only partial support for it. This might be the cause of problems.
Phoenix 2 will most likely stay alpha/beta for a long time.
Hey Vioner, any word on if the Nexus 7 image will be updated to 2.0? or will it be left on 1.1? Absolutely love Phoenix as an Android ROM, the desktop interface is exactly what I was looking for in a tablet ROM. It's too bad that Canonical dropped Unity 8 and Ubuntu Touch (I understand UBports is to be picking it up and switching it to wayland) because other than Phoenix, UT was the only other ROM that have the experience I've been looking for, so it will be sad to see Phoenix drop support (though completely understood)
@ShadowEO
I've just asked Phoenix OS officials about this. We'll see what they'll say.
One thing is for sure. They base their ROMs on AOSP and AFAIK most recent branch for Nexus 7 is Marshmallow.
The reason why they released a Phoenix OS 2.0 preview build for Nexus 9 is because it has official Nougat support.
I also asked them if they plan to do any updates for Nexus 7. I'll let you know.
@ShadowEO
I've the response. Phoenix team will release new versions only for Nexus 9. Older devices support is "dead". I'm sorry

Yoga Smart Tab

Hello,
So I got a Lenovo Smart Tab (yt-x703f) and really want to flash TWRP to it, so I can flash LineageOS rom, but it seems like there's no support for it, or even a subthread on XDA.
(I tried various twrp images)
Anyone got some experience with that tablet and have something working?
Cheers
For some reason this device gets the silent treatment on all fora. I can't figure out why, this could be a great multimedia device with some adjustments. batt life is great as is the sound. Screen is ok ish and the speed needs to be tweaked, but no one is willing to tweak
You can root the device and even flash a GSI on it. Tested myself and everything is working
Yoga Smart Tab - Iron Grey​Part Number: ZA3V0005US
Not sure if we are talking about the same device but lenovo does not support their mid tier devices with OS updates and would like to install a bloatless OS also pie is really dated and wondering if i will run in to issues with app compatibility. There is also that issue where it won't run HD in netflix because netflix is a static app and can not be removed and reinstalled. Hence bloatware and would love a clean google experience.

Flashing a GSI might help if the device supports Project Treble. Basically any device launched with Android 8 and above should support Project Treble.
Hi, I have a Lenovo Yoga smart tab (YT-X705L) and I want to install a new rom on it. I’m not an IT wizard so I need help with that. Would you find anyone who can give step-by-step instructions from start to finish with download links.
And if you can find experiences on how anything works (which is GSI). Thanks in advance.
