Launched in 2016, it allowed users to run Android applications on compatible Intel-based PCs, offering a unique blend of mobile and desktop functionalities. The system featured a Windows-style interface, complete with a taskbar, start menu, and notification area, providing a familiar environment for users transitioning from traditional desktop operating systems. Remix OS supported advanced multitasking with resizable windows, full mouse and keyboard integration, and a built-in file manager, enhancing productivity and usability. Additionally, it offered portable boot capabilities, enabling users to run the OS from a USB drive without installation, making it convenient for on-the-go use. By bridging the gap between mobile and desktop platforms, Remix OS provided a versatile solution for users seeking to leverage Android's vast app ecosystem on their PCs. * * * Seller [Jide Technology Co](https://www.g2.com/sellers/jide-technology-co) Discussions [Remix OS Community](https://www.g2.com/products/remix-os/discuss) Solution Type Best-of-Breed Show More ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Ubuntu](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Ubuntu") Ubuntu 4.5/5(2,399) ](https://www.g2.com/products/ubuntu/reviews) [ ![Chrome OS](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Chrome OS") Chrome OS 4.5/5(739) ](https://www.g2.com/products/chrome-os/reviews) [ ![Android](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Android") Android 4.6/5(1,283) ](https://www.g2.com/products/android/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/remix-os/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 31 real user reviews.

Emprendedor Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/18/2020 "Remix my virtual Android desktop" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Remix OS? It is an excellent Android environment for testing different applications before installing them on the Android mobile. In my personal case, it is very useful for implementing Android developments from a virtual machine to which I have assigned 2 MB of RAM and a processor with 2 logical cores, with which my Remix OS runs perfectly well. I have not had problems running native applications such as games, office packages, or web browsers, which is great because other Android systems I have tried often leave the virtual machine hanging or close unexpectedly, especially when testing games. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Remix OS? I have had problems running it on some I386 hardware architectures, but nothing that a couple of hours of reading on the Internet couldn't overcome. Most of the time, the issues have been related to assigning too few resources in the virtual machine on which Remix OS runs, causing it to freeze, but after restarting the virtual machine and adding resources like RAM or processors, everything runs very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Remix OS: It is an excellent option for testing Android applications before taking them to a production environment. Also, if you like to try low-reputation applications or from an unknown source, you can do so with Remix OS in a virtual machine and thus avoid surprises with those applications. Although it seems that the development of Remix OS has been abandoned and is now part of another paid project, it is always a very good option for development testing for applications in Android environments. Definitely recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Remix OS solving and how is that benefiting you? I conduct my Android development tests before moving them to a Production environment, it is also very useful for me to test apps that are not well-known or have a low reputation before installing them on my mobile.
