If you want to know more about Remix OS then head over to http://www.jide.com/en/r...os & http://www.jide.com/en/remixos-...pc
Warning: I’m not responsible if something goes wrong in your system.
1stly I’m going to instruct on how to install on tablets and newer laptops(EFI based systems).
Pre Requisites: A USB flash drive with minimum 8GB of storage and minimum write speed of 10MBps.
USB OTG cable and a USB hub if there are less ports on your device.
A 64 bit processor (which most of them are nowadays)
Step 1: Download the OS from https://otacdn.jide.com/ota/Remix_OS_for_PC_64_...
Step 2: Plug in a USB flash drive in your device.
Step 3: Run the Remix OS USB Tool(in the downlaoded zip) and follow the instructions to burn the .iso file onto your USB flash drive.
Step 4: Hold the shift key and then press the restart button from the Start Menu.
Alternatively, Power Button + Volume Down Button to boot it directly to the Graphic Bootloader.
Step 5: Then go to Troubleshoot >Advanced Options >UEFI Firmware Settings >Restart
Step 6: Go to the Boot option in the BIOS and change the Boot Option #1 to UEFI and then go to Security > Secure Boot menu and make sure that the Secure Boot is Disabled.
Step 7: Press F4 to save and exit.
You could use Volume +/- key to navigate UEFI but a keyboard is recommended.
Step 8: Your device will boot into Remix OS and you’ll get 2 options – Resident Mode and Guest Mode.
Resident Mode- If you want your data and settings to be saved everytime.
Guest Mode- Self explanatory.
Step 9: It’ll just go through the setup and patience is required in this step. Press enter key when required.
Step 10: The OS will just boot up as any normal OS. Connect to WiFi and Agree with the Terms.
Will update this article as and when required. Will later on add on how to install Google Play Store & Services.
Feel free to ask me anything.
@PaytmKaPoojari Any advantage of these OS’s over Windows on a laptop? Better battery life or something?
And I think that Pheonix currently only supports legacy boot option. No EFI hence it can’t run on this tablet.

There’s a thread also how to convert legacy boot to uefi on reddit or remix os group. Brother I highly recommend not to run the os on laptops but keep it restricted to desktop computing. Android x86 as a platform is still novice without any battery saving functionality so u will lose a lot of battery on laptop since even when u switch off the display the processor will keep running in the background at the maximum frequency

Yeah. Just found the same on XDA after posting my reply.
HI,
I have successfully installed ubuntu 14.04.2 (64-bit), I got around the problem of 32-bit UEFI by using Debian 8.2 (multiarch), although the system boots, I am unable to use the touch , audio and bluetooth, I am using Ubuntu build from : https://plus.google.com/+IanMORRISON/posts/UNWd...
this gives me wi-fi support so that I can install other things….right now I am using the tblet as a headless display using OpenSSH but I really would like the tablet experience via touch and audio.
Any help!!

Bhai kya bol rahe ho. Iballtab ki baat kar rahe ho kya. Sorry I can’t help u cause I don’t have the tablet. But phoenix os is built on the same way like remix and it may help. Also remix 2.0 om March 1
haa bhai, I installed Ubuntu on iball i701 but cant get the touch and sound to work….
i have i ball slide i701 tablet is touch sound wifi bluetooth etc all working or not ??????(MAIN TOUCH IS IMPORTANT))))))
Actually what made remix os so big is still a really big mystery. It is as vanilla as the phoenix os is and any other android x86 version is not as big as remix. Anyways the only problems with It currently is lack of Google play like jide os. And rooting. Bdw remix can be rooted. I am little busy these days to try out phoenix and on Linux problem booting remix os through grub
