Remix OS 2.0 Beta for PC now available for download


Jide's Remix OS 2.0 for PCs is a custom version of Android designed to make Google’s mobile OS behave like a desktop OS. Last month Jide released the Alpha version of Remix OS 2.0 and now the Android based OS has entered beta stage.  

The Remix OS 2.0 Beta for PC can be download from Jide website. The beta version has 64-bit as well as 32-bit system support for older PCs and can now be installed on Hard Disk. Previously you had to boot the Remix OS from a USB flash drive.

The beta version supports dual boot, UEFI, and over the air (OTA) update. It also brings bug fixes and increase in device compatibility.

Just like the Aplha version, the beta version does not include Google Play services, instead you'll have to download the GMSActivator APK and side load it to install Google services. (GMSActivator Download Link)
