Meanwhile, Android is unquestionably the world leader when it comes to the number of devices on which it is installed. Participation in the mobile device market is estimated at over 85%, and it should not surprise anyone that the choice of applications dedicated touch screens is very large. So why not take advantage of Android on any PC with a touch screen (or even without)?
Of course, you can start with a little good will of Android on any computer – but at this stage of development, this system does not have multitasking real. The possibility of dividing the screen into two windows you are only and exclusively implementations third party, such as LG and Samsung. System support split screen can only come with Android 7.0 or later.
Therefore, a project Remix OS. This is Android 5.0 (Lollipop) converted in such a way that it looks deceptively similar to Windows 10, and at the same time run all applications designed for Android. Similarities to Windows 10 is much …
Even the desktop more like Windows 10 than Android. It is no different from the selection menu WiFi network, calendar, or the center of notifications.
In some however considerations – such as the settings panel system, however, retains the topology of Android. However, anyone who uses it every day with your phone with a green robot should have no problems finding the settings menu.
- How to get the system Remix OS 2.0
Before we start it is worth noting that this is not at this time ideal and stable operating system. It occurs at the moment only version LIVE – and can not be installed on the hard disk. It can be installed only on the stick. And not just any, for project developers recommend a model that supports USB 3.0 with a minimum write speed of 20 MB / s. There is nothing surprising in this, because it is no secret that Android works seamlessly only on devices with correspondingly fast memory. Cheap smartphones have the time of trouble.
The fact that the Remix OS 2.0 is on the stick, however, has also advantages. We can take it everywhere with you, and the system with their applications can run on almost any PC with a 64 bit processor, regardless of what operating system is installed on it.
Images system Remix OS 2.0 are available on the project website. Then you need to create a memory stick with a copy of our system using the Remix OS USB Tool attached to the image.
To start computer pendrive usually need when you start your computer, press the select key device from which to boot (usually F12 or Option for Apple computers), then choose our USB flash drive.
the first boot takes a long time, sometimes even a few minutes so please be patient. When you first start you still need to install Google Play in accordance with the instructions.
I used the Remix OS 2.0 on a variety of configurations, and it is not an option, unfortunately for computers on which Windows 10 is running slow. Hardware requirements are rather comparable or even slightly higher. Most important is, however, appropriate class stick. It can also be a model of USB 2.0 – but then it has to be a model who was once a model of the masthead. If you choose the average model of the store rather we will not be satisfied with the speed.
Using multiple applications at once, in windows is one of the biggest advantages Remix OS. No problem, we can conduct a conversation with someone on Facebook, Skype or another messenger, and next to watch a movie or play a game. In the case of an ordinary Android would not be possible.
the size of the windows can freely change the mouse and the touch panel (if you have one). Just as in Windows 7, 8 and 10 by dragging the windows to the edges of the screen, we can stretch the window to half the screen. All jobs are on the bottom bar (task bar), the same as in Microsoft’s systems. The whole works quite well – although sometimes when writing to a memory stick that the system loses responsiveness on a moment. In particular, if some applications in the background are updating.
There are of course all of the applications available from Google Play, such as web browsers, media players, games and scientific applications. Google Chrome runs as smoothly as under Windows.
And as with application compatibility? With these to work everyday is very good – the entire Microsoft Office suite, all familiar browsers and applications work fine. Problems arise however when it comes to entertainment applications – that is the game. These older, unsuitable for Android for x86 have problems starting. Different case also with the much more recent productions such as Angry Birds 2. I assume, however, that for most users this will not be an urgent problem.
- is it even competition for Windows 10?
No, at the moment it is rather just an interesting concept. Remix OS is not yet polished enough to be able to fully replace the Windows 10 computer in everyday use – and it is not known whether the once so ever will be.
in particular, in the case of tablets with attached keyboards should try something new, especially since it is a system completely free of charge. At the moment it does not require installation, and we can take it everywhere with you without having to carry your computer. The creators offer that will run on almost any computer – and I can confirm that work on any configuration with which it tested.
the creators of the future promise Remix OS based on the latest Android – version 6.0 Marshallmallow. It is therefore a good chance that it will be even more interesting.
