Remix OS is a computer operating system for personal computers with x86 and ARM architectures that ships with a number of 1st- and 3rd-party devices. Remix OS allows PC users to run Android mobile apps on any compatible Intel-based PC.[3][4]
In January 2016 Jide announced a Beta version of their operating system called Remix OS for PC, which is based on Android-x86 — a x86-port of the Android operating system — and available for download for free[5] from their website. The beta version of Remix OS for PC brings hard drive installation, 32-bit support, UEFI support and OTA updates. Except for the free software licensed parts available on GitHub,[6] unlike Android-x86, the source code of Remix OS is not available to the public.[7][8][9]
Google Mobile Services (GMS) were removed from the Remix Mini after Remix OS Update: 2.0.307[10] which Jide claimed was to "ensure a consistent experience across all Android devices for all."[11] Later comments suggest that there was a compatibility issue with some apps which resulted in Google requesting that GMS not be pre-loaded.[12]
On July 17, 2017, Jide announced that development of Remix OS for PC, as well as related consumer products in development, was being discontinued, stating that the company would be "restructuring (their) approach to Remix OS and transitioning away from the consumer space". [13]
