Remix OS is a discontinued computer operating system for personal computers with x86 and ARM architectures that, prior to discontinuation of development, shipped with a number of 1st- and 3rd-party devices. Remix OS allowed PC users to run apps made for Android mobile apps on any compatible Intel-based PC.[4][5]

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[6] 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,[7] unlike Android-x86, the source code of Remix OS is not available to the public.[8][9][10]

Google Mobile Services (GMS) were removed from the Remix Mini after Remix OS Update: 3.0.207[11] which Jide claimed was to "ensure a consistent experience across all Android devices for all."[12] Later comments suggest that there was a compatibility issue with some apps which resulted in Google requesting that GMS not be pre-loaded.[13]

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".[14][15]

PhoenixOS[16] and PrimeOS[17] are similar Android-x86 based operating systems developed by other companies independently.

A Remix OS 3.0 device, the Remix Pro 2-in-1 tablet, had been announced in 2016; however, these will no longer be made.[20]

## Legacy

Due to the popularity and affordability of the OS in Asia, similar projects have been made by various firms. Most notably PhoenixOS[16] by the Chinese-based Chaozhuo Technology,[21] and PrimeOS[17] by the Indian-based Floydwiz Technologies Private Limited.

Just like RemixOS, both are predominantly closed source, with a lot of improved features intended to improve and optimise both OSes for newer applications and PCs.[22][17]

Projects like OPENTHOS[23] and BlissOS[24] intend to release the project with open source in mind, but OPENTHOS is restricted to only Chinese markets at the moment, and BlissOS is based on Android-x86.[25]
