How to REAL install Remix OS on VirtualBox

This is how to REAL install Remix OS on VirtualBox. rootfs could be writable!!!

Needs:

• any linux liveCD iso file (Xubuntu here)
• Remix OS iso file ("Remix_OS_for_PC_Android_M_32bit_B2016092201.iso" here)
• VirtualBox

step 1:

Create a virtual machine with a hard disk (at least 4GB). I use 32GB here. 

step 2:

Boot linux liveCD to partition and format the disk.

$ sudo gparted

partition table type: msdos

(one partition for example here.)

finished partition: 

step 3:

Boot Remix OS iso with boot flag: INSTALL=1 

select partition that we had format. 

(format function seems buggy here, so, skip it) 

Install bootloader latter.  

Select "Yes" let rootfs could be mount as rw!! 

Wait until finished.

 

step 4:

Reboot to linux liveCD again. This time we are going to install bootloader.

# grub-install --root-directory=/media/xubuntu/RemixOS /dev/sda

(Where /media/xubuntu/RemixOS is the path you mount the partition that just created in step 2.)

(And /dev/sda is the devices you wants to install.)

add grub.cfg to /media/xubuntu/RemixOS/boot/grub/

androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 to androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 if used 64bit iso.

set default=0 
set timeout=10
set gfxmode=800x600
terminal_output gfxterm

menuentry 'Remix OS' --class android-x86 {
        search --file --no-floppy --set=root /RemixOS/kernel
        linux /RemixOS/kernel root=/dev/sda1 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive SERIAL=random DATA=/data
        initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img
}

and reboot to RemixOS. 

First time will take a little long at here. 

Finally, and enjoy :)
