I might try hopping from distro to distro and I might also try that Linux Mint Cinnamon 19 Beta, since I think it's looking better. I hope they release a Stable version of Cinnamon 19 that would be stable for my laptop, removing all problems I'm currently encountering.

I see, I've always thought it would just work. I never knew some laptop could potentially have no sound nor internet when installing Linux because I thought the drivers are compatible for all and is for universal use. Thanks! I'll keep this in mind and hopefully the drivers for this type of laptop has people already working on it, which I should assume since a moderator from the Linux Mint forum stated there has been a github fix for my laptop's type of chipsets, etc. Hopefully.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
One way around it is to dual boot with the stock OS on it. This is what I do as I still need windows for work, games and a few tools that linux just cant compare with. Then linux will use the stock OS drivers instead of the open source drivers. Not all hardware has open source drivers or has drivers but they are soo old that they no longer function

Also just a thought. The issue might be the nvidia stuff. That is notoriously bad compatibility with linux. Even Linus himself flipped them off during an interview because they are soo anti open source and their hardware is a nightmare to work with.

[General Questions and Answers] Blakestr:
Longtime member who lost root due to moving to a Samsung S7 Edge (at the time I assumed like many the bootloader would be reliably unlocked). The knowledge on how to reliably obtain root is so fragmented, you get the drift.

Need a wireless hotspot solution - does PDA net actually work? If not, please what does. I'm fine with paying for an app that functions similarly to what I'm used to. I used the native hotspot when I had root for years on my note 2 and then note 4. I completely refuse to pay Sprints exorbitant hotspot fees just so I can Tether to a car stereo (native data is safer than having to control your phone).

It's gotten so bad I'm considering buying an old pixel phone and just rooting it. Even though I'm a longtime xda member no one's been able to explain to me how software, like a build version, can't be deleted. It's not hardware. I guess maybe it's like encryption.
[General Questions and Answers] zubair1836:
Don't know about PDA Net. But If you go for Root, You can easily Turn On/Off Mobile Hotspot (If that's what you are talking about).

First of All, Try this app.

If it doesn't work for you, You definitely need to root. Google it "How to root using CF AutoRoot". :good:

Root xperia xa

Hello, i want to ask few question about rooting xperia xa f3111. Of course my bootloader is unlocked, So i was Reading a lot of guide about rooting but im still confused little bit.I have download flashtool, abc, boot. Img and twrp img. So i tried install twrp but my first attemp was failed i writed command in cmd "fasttboot flash recovery recovery img" But i got error that partition doesnt exit,then i was reading that before this command i need to write other fastboot flash boot boot.img. So this way gonna work? - copy recovery and boot image to flashtool folder, next launch cmd and put this commends: "fastboot flash boot boot img" "Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" then launch twrp-install supersu.I prefer to ask before i make mistake and brick my phone. Sorry for my english but its not my mother language.
[General Questions and Answers] Ashwinrg:
First boot your android in fastboot mode then type"fastboot devices" without quotes then press enter. You see your device detected if everything is fine. Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and hit enter.

Rename recovery "twrp" to "recovery" first if not.

No need to flash boot.img unless your device has boot secured.

Hey,thans for answer.I allready use this method but i have this error:

OKAY

writing recovery

FAILED partition doesn't exist
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Four probable reasons at quick glance:

- You flash before this partition with a wrong (for other partition)/not matchable (not for your device) file and it´s missing now.

- You are failling typing correct syntax of fastboot.

- You don´t enable USB debugging and/or OEM unlock in developer options.

- Image is corrupt, compare sizes within the actual and the info that appears before download it.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
When you stay yet in stock rom although you enabled both options before ever you have to check again if they didn´t come back to original state.

Try this:

- Put a copy of your twrp in the sdcard of you device.

- Rename your twrp image simply twrp (don´t touch extension of the file .img) and put it inside same adb folder in your pc.

- Check again these options in developer settings just for sure.

- Reboot to fastboot mode and type fastboot devices you have to see the ID of your device in cmd window, then type fastboot boot twrp.img you have to boot to twrp, just slide when you are prompted to allow modifications from twrp, then choose the option to install image from twrp and browse to the file that before you copied onto your sdcard, flash it.

ES File Explorer does both of those things.
[General Questions and Answers] eddlang:
Thank you but anything besides that? ES is too intrusive, intercepting app installs and messing with the battery.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I use it, I always have. I don't have an issue with it being intrusive or with battery and I don't even have the ad-free paid version.

When I install ES File Explorer, I don't let it set up the additional features when I first start the app, I deny all the initial set up features. After its installed, it just sits there and doesn't bother me, nor does it intrude with ads or cause any extra unwanted activity. When I use it/open it, it doesn't do anything that I don't specifically tell it to do.

It's all in how you install it and what features/settings that you enable/disable.

I've used it for years, even before everyone started complaining about it being "intrusive" and I haven't noticed any difference from the first day I used it to now.

It is, pretty much, the most functional and multi-featured file manager that can be used on android, it has many features that many file managers can't do, some of its features, none of the other file managers have.

When it comes to file managers, ES File Explorer is the only one that has met every need that I have had.

You can take my opinion or you can listen to all the hype from all the users that don't fully understand ES File Explorer.
[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
in support of what [MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION] has stated...

I actually have the ES File Explorer Pro (Paid) and I've owned it for quite a long time now and I can state that there's a huge difference between the Free and Paid version.

The ES File Explorer is my primary file manager and use it 97.5% of the time. It's very seldom that I use the stock file manager (.5% of the time) but, I have needed to use the stock once in huge while as needed. The remaining 2% of the time I use the Total Commander but, only for specific tasks that, I feel, performs better than the others.

Always remember that when it comes to any Free Apps, always keep an eye on the permissions it asks for first before either installing/launching it. Be sure that you only allow those permissions it truly needs to function for tasks that your looking to use it for.

I didn't mean to intrude on the conversation. I was just hoping to be able to help in some way. :)

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Try Solid Explorer. That's what I switched to from ES. I paid for the pro version, but the free one is good too.

FX is also a good file explorer.

And I use Total Commander as well, mostly for editing files such as build.prop. I find it works best for that.

EDIT: There isn't a free version of Solid Explorer any more. Only a free trial period. It's $1.99 after that. But it is really good, and imo worth it.

Oppo R11

I'm hoping someone here knows the Oppo R11. I found a guide by flo071 in XDA for rooting the R11. My question is in the first step he says to run MSM-Downloadtool. Does this flash a new rom and is it necessary for just rooting the R11? I only want to root. I accidentally deleted a bunch of pictures and none of the one-click roots have worked. I know unlocking the bootloader will wipe the phone, but it seems I have no other options at this point, but root and then hope I can recover everything after. :( Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Like you said, unlocking the bootloader will wipe your phone. You won't be able to recover anything.

Although I've never heard of it, the download tool won't flash a new ROM. You'll need to flash a ROM on your own. It does seem to be necessary for rooting your phone though, but I really don't know much about your device.

A suggestion: use Google Photos and select it to upload your photos via wifi only in high quality instead of original quality and you get unlimited storage free for that.
[General Questions and Answers] largetomatoes:
Oppo R11

Does anything similar to this method work? It's a guide in XDA for Internal Memory Data Recovery after wiping from unlocking the bootloader. I was thinking of running Fonepaw or something similar after rooting. I have android nougat with coloros. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] eddlang:
So are there other file managers besides ES with those two abilities or you don't know?

I checked all three a few days ago and none seem to have those two features, or I couldn't find them. Are you sure they have them?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I don't know of any other free file explorers, if you're gonna get a paid version, you might as well go just go ahead and go with ES pro, it's slimmed down and less intrusive, as you call it, than the free version. But, honestly, in my usage of the free version compared to the pro version, I see no difference other than it being made to be more convenient, the free version still has all of the features that pro has, they just aren't as conveniently placed/controlled.

I'm sure others here might have other free suggestions that would serve as well.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Adding to what xunholyx told you;

You can apply some parts of this thread but there´s no reference to root your device here.

There´s no sense to download 7,1GB just for twrp (it looks like the guy putted all the firmwares listed and many more in same zip).

Ask the member if he kindly can upload twrp apart and do this process to flash it by your own (no need any additional tool than adb-installer

- Unlock bootloader (it seems that some fastboot commands are missing/wrong there)

- Flash twrp.

- Root device flashing Magisk through twrp.

But if you unlock bootloader you have to consider that your data will be more deeply buried.
[General Questions and Answers] adifbbk1:
Q1: Yes

Q2: Yes

Q3: No. That's my only problem

I tried to boot twrp without installing, Problem faced. The phone becomes as waste as paper now.

Tried hard reboot with failure. Just while charging it shows red light. It war 70% battery when I tried to boot twrp.

It continuously disconnects and reconnects when connected to PC.

I forgot to mention that I've unlocked bootloader.

At sharing files, ES File Explorer does a great job. Zepya webshare is also an option. In file attributes, Root Explorer is an option, but as the app name suggests, it requires root access.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

You can disable all those kinds of stuff in es file explorer settings.

Samsung has an unlocked note 8 on their website, and was wondering if it would work on Verizon. I've nevered owned a Samsung device so I wasn't sure.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You need to consult Verizon about what devices can or can't be used on their network.

But, typically, any unlocked phone is allowed on a network, some can't be used due to incompatibility or non support, that's is why you need to consult the network in question.

In Oreo's system notification settings is the option to turn on and off the 'display over other apps' notification for each relevant app. This is fine, but once an app is deleted, the notification option for it remains, cluttering up the controls and making it more difficult to find the app I may actually be looking for.

Yes, but you'd have to use Apktool to decompile settings.apk and/or maybe your framework-res.apk then edit to remove what you want then re-compile and re-sign the .apk file then overwrite your old settings.apk and/or framework-res.apk with the new modified versions.
