IT HAS POTENTIAL BUT NEEDS SOME WORK In I looked at Remix OS, an operating system that aimed to bring android to the desktop. Overall I liked Remix, it had a few minor quirks such as small system stability issues and incompatibility with the Google Play store, but the potential was definitely there for it to be a great daily use operating system. Today I am going to try out something similar, Phoenix OS. Phoenix OS is another attempt to bring android to the desktop. It flaunts advanced multitasking capabilities, easy desktop usability, and a full set of daily applications right out of the box.

The development team is based in China and, just like Remix, they are utilizing work from the Android X86 Project. They have both ARM and X86 images on their website, the X86 version is advertised to work with 32 and 64-bit processors but as we will find out later that is not the case. Phoenix OS download page If you want to install Phoenix OS the first thing you need to do is get your hands on the installer.

For this demo I will be using their X86 installer. The installer is for Windows but you could probably get it to work with Linux or Mac using WINE.

It took me a couple times to successfully download the file, I kept getting network errors and the download speed was very slow so I have provided an. Before you run the installer insert a flash drive (I recommend one that is at least 8GB) into your PC and just to be safe format it as fat32. From this point you can run the installer and either choose to install the OS to a USB flash drive (what I did) or, the nice thing about the Phoenix installer is that it also gives you the option to install it to your primary HDD. The install took twenty minutes for me and the status bar hung towards the end of the install which worried me at first but everything ended up working out.

Installer Once the installer has finished you can go ahead and remove your flash drive and plug it into the system you wish to boot from. Select to boot from your USB flash drive and from there Phoenix OS should do the rest. I had to try three different computers before I found one that Phoenix OS would run on.

My ASUS G75 with a quad core i7, 12gb of DDR3, and a GTX 660m was the chosen one. If it hangs at the boot screen for over 30 minutes then let me tell you from experience that chances are it is not going to boot. While I was attempting to install Phoenix OS to one of my PC’s for the demos I also pulled out a couple 32-bit systems to see if the OS really would run on a 32-bit processor. I tried a Pentium 4, Celeron m, and a Pentium m, the OS failed to boot on all three. At this time I can only conclude that Phoenix OS will not run on a 32-bit system. Failed to boot with the 32-bit processors I tested it on If you have managed to get it to boot successfully then you should now be sitting at the language selection screen.

Change the language to English (the only two options are English and Chinese). Next it will prompt you to select a WIFI network, my network adapter worked right from the start but if yours does not you need to skip this step and see if you can get the drivers working afterwards. After configuring network settings you should now be greeted by the very sleek Phoenix OS desktop. Unfortunately the wallpaper manager was not working on my system so I was met with a black background. WIFI selection screen Upon first impressions I really liked how everything was laid out, it looks a lot like Remix OS.

Towards the top right of the screen there are computer and recycling bin icons. The bottom houses the application bar which includes the menu icon and status indicators. Move your mouse all the way to the right and you will be met with a convenient notification bar. I started to play around with some of the built in applications and everything was very snappy and for the most part easy to navigate.

Black desktop background. Wallpaper manager kept crashing. While I was messing around off camera I encountered a few issues. I tried to fix the background problem through the wallpaper manager and the system locked up. The built in “Stardust” Internet browser, a less capable fork of chrome, crashed several times while I was trying to do some research on the issue.

Back on camera I tried to demo the web-browser’s capabilities by visiting a couple websites including YouTube, for the most part performance was okay (when it did not crash) but it was not able to play back YouTube videos. The office applications that it ships with are adequate but slightly difficult to use with a keyboard and track-pad, I had a hard time highlighting and manipulating text. System menus were easy to get to and practically laid out, I had no problem making a few small tweaks to the OS. Settings panel Their store, which flaunts having over 1 million apps and that I assumed was based off Google Play (it’s not), is not very useful.

I could not find a way to change the language to English and therefore it was completely useless. I tried to download a random application just to see what would happen and due to ridiculously slow download speeds I just gave up. At this point you are probably thinking I should just install Google Play services right? Well you can try but I had no success in doing so, if you want any applications installed you will have to download the APK and install it manually. Hardware support for critical components was there. As I said earlier my wireless network card worked right off the bat, support for USB devices was present, and I did not experience any issues with my video card. However, the built in camera application would not launch and therefore I do not know if it was properly detecting my web cam.

I really wanted to like Phoenix OS but to be honest it is just not there yet. When I looked at Remix OS I talked about how something like this would be great for my mother or sister, those that could really benefit from the easy to use and familiar environment of android on their laptops / desktops. In its current state I would NOT install Phoenix OS on one of their systems, I would not even want it on my system. Some of the built in applications are just way to unstable, the system crashes every fifteen minutes, and I could not get Google services to work with it (not as big of a deal but still a factor). My experience could just be isolated to the laptop I was using so if you guys had better luck with Phoenix OS please let me know in the comments section. The OS is not horrible, it has potential but just needs some more work. It is still in its beta stage so I am really looking forward to trying it again in a few months to see how it has improved.

At this time though I feel that Remix OS does a much better job at integrating Android into the desktop. WATCH THE FULL VIDEO. Ok so I have a dell latitude d410 (Intel Pentium M, 1.73 GhZ, 2GB RAM, 80G HDD) and I am having trouble with everything, and like you said to try it on our PCS, I did, and it gave me the same message like in your photo that you put above, I have also tried running android x86 aosp, and I cannot get that to work, while trying the VGA=794 switch in the kernelargs, and I can not find a way to get in touch with developers, so could you possible help? I would even be grateful for the aosp android x86, because the last version (from experience) that actually works on here is android 3.2-asus-RC2 which is way too old for any app support today.

I was thinking somewhere in the ballpark of android 4.4, or maybe building it, but I cant build it, because in order to build aosp 2.2. I personally would stick with Lubuntu 16.04 if I were you. I used Lubuntu for 6 months on my primary desktop and it was a highly capable operating system, more capable in my opinion than Phoenix OS.

If you are really set on switching then your best bet would be to see if maybe there is a way to force Physical Address Extension in Phoenix OS. The Celeron M system in the video is very similar to your PC and I was never able to get Phoenix working on it. You will have to forgive me as it has been awhile since I wrote this article / made the video and my memory of using it is somewhat limited.

I also have one more thing to say to you. I found that the problem with my processor is that it does indeed NOT support SSE3 (but it can run minecraft 1.10, lol) and i have a thread on the official android-x86 website, and i would like you to try this on one of your celeron PCS. At this writing, I’M downloading rn, and i am really hyped for it, and I did take your advice and load up lubuntu 16, and it has been really good on the performance side of things, thank you, as it has been really hard to give up on this android thing. I see that it is for a certain laptop, but it has the same specs, might as well give it a spin.
