How to use X11 or framebuffer graphic subsystem?

The default way to access GUI of installed linux distribution with Linux Deploy is to use VNC, but is there a way to use X11 or framebuffer options for graphic subsystem? If so, how to use them? And what would the benefits be of using X11 or framebuffer?
[Android Software Development] tarsonis666:
Followed the instruction step by step. After hitting start I get "fail" for desktop/dbus, extra/ssh and graphics/vnc. Any advice?

Debug says: "Starting desktop/dbus... chroot:can't execute 'bin/su': no such file or directory"

"Starting extra/shh... ls: /data/local/mnt/etc/ssh: no such file or directory"

For graphics error its the same warning like for the dbus which is right. On the kindle the folder is nested in system/bin/su. Coping bin to root folder didn't resolve the error.

(running on a Kindle Fire HD 7 4th gen with Lineage OS 14.1 rooted with TWRP 2.8.2)

I wonder on some points as I gone through different tutorials. Where is the logic behind downloading the image file manually as Linux deploy creates an image file by itself through the source path link?

You don't mention any kernel minimum requirements which seems to be kernel above 3.2 regarding the info I found. Also on the point Init Mount. There seems to be a requirement to set a mount point in the option below. Something like sdcard. You did skip it?
[Android Software Development] N00b@andr0id:
This app is not usable anymore. When you hit install, it usually fails at getting the release file. If not, it fails to get some basic core packages like apt or passwd. Feels like a bad server. If all the server addresses go through the developer's repo then its sad that the capabilities of the app are just hindered due to this awkward reason.
[Android Software Development] DragonFire1024:
I haven't used this in a while but if I recall correctly you can hunt down a image that isn't involved with the repo and install it through Linux deploy. You don't necessarily have to use the repo provided by the developer in order to get it to work so far as I can remember. It will take some time to hunt for them but there are images that do exist. I'm sorry I could not have been more help in this matter. The developer is quite active and if you shoot them an email they definitely would reply to it. It might very well be a problem they are not yet aware of.
[Android Software Development] N00b@andr0id:
Thank you for your insights. So apparently the servers work good at specific times. I was able to install after trying at different times throughout the day. The next issue is, maybe because the display mode is vnc(tried x11 but could access it, it fails to start after installation. If you can help about this, I'll appreciate it), apps like synaptic and browser dont start. I mainly wanted to use pulseeffects on it but it just fails to start. Giving error like connection refused: cannot open display; and initialization failed. I tried epiphany and direfox browser and they can't connect to the internet.
[Android Software Development] DragonFire1024:
You have to make sure your local Host is configured correctly. In the settings, and I forget exactly which column of settings, there should be somewhere that it tells you The local Host and port.

127.0.0.1:XXXX

.

Configuring it to anything else will fail to initialize your VNC. I'm sorry that I don't have a rooted device handily available to look up the steps. I may be able to help out a bit better when I get home later and install it on my tablet and see what happens. It takes a few tries to get the configuration right but once you have it down packed it really is like riding a bike you never forget. But it did take me awhile and I even abandoned the whole idea for quite a bit before coming back to it.
[Android Software Development] N00b@andr0id:
Would love to get your views on it. So please post the update when you can. I can connect to the linux through ssh on termux and on vnc. And even access the internet through the terminal on linux. its just the applications (browsers in this case) that can't seem to connect to the internet. But all that aside, I actually want to use pulseeffects on linux but I can't get it to work. At least for now. it gives context initialization error which I dont know what It means

I have a Xiaomi 12T Pro rooted with magisk 26 and stock rom miui 13 (downgraded the 14 after saw lots of slowdowns in the os), the fact that my phone is an a/b device should worth nothing since installing a linux distro and booting does not really reboot my phone in the new slot, right?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boughtphone:
I purchased a used Note 4 off ebay and want to make completely sure there are no spy apps or malware on it. I know some spy apps can be installed into the system partition and survive a factory reset. I discovered an app called cerberus that could do this and could be used to spy on me and blackmail me. How do I completely clean my phone of all spy apps or malware and completely wipe everything including the system partition erasing everything.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaDisNX255:
Install TWRP and format /data. Will clean OS and most writable parts of your phone. Afterwards, have stock ready to flash and flash it via Odin and you should be good to go

How do I install twrp? I don't think the phone is rooted. Is this the easiest way?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaDisNX255:
You do not need to be rooted to install twrp. It's the method I trust the most, but you can just use the stock recovery to wipe everything, TWRP will erase everything including media
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boughtphone:
Can you send me a guide? Or tell me how?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaDisNX255:
Just download the TWRP version for your device (check model), download Odin and the Samsung USB drivers.

Turn your phone off and enter download mode, connect via USB to your PC and open Odin. Select the TWRP file from the "AP" option in Odin and just select Start

It's really a simple process.

After that, you should have TWRP installed and should now be able to enter custom recovery
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boughtphone:
Thanks. Once I have TWRP what settings should I use to wipe everything.

[Huawei Y6 Questions & Answers] everplayed:
I just bought a Huawei Y6 2017 (MYA-L41) and am trying to root it.

I managed to do everything, since unlocking bootloader, up to flashing TWRP.

The problem is that when I log into TWRP it has this screen lock with a slider that I can't manage to unlock. The slider slides, but the screen doesn't unlock.

Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] j0a0a7:
Last night I updated the tablet to EMUI 5.0 and after that the system did the update to 351. Bluetooth works fine as far connection goes but once you played any media stuff like music or youtube the audio sounds like an fm radio station from the early 90s. The audio has a very flat sound to like it you were streaming at a very low bitrate. Has anyone noticed this too after doing the update or could it just be a bad update. I'm hoping it's just that but wanted to confirm here with anyone running EMUI 5.0 how's their bluetooth audio. I used poweramp for MP3 but even poweramp can't improved the audio quality from bluetooth. The same bluetooth headphones sound way better on other devices it's just the tablet. Enabling SWS doesn't help if anything sounds worse.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ben5757:
Hello all,

for this I can't find any solution :

My phone numbers are stored in contacts under following format :

+999(9)9.99.99.99.99

Dialer does not recognize correctly the parentheses. In my mind it should bypass them, but dialing numbers as is gives message from operators as incorrect number.

When I remove manually the (9), everything's fine. Problem is that I have hundreds of contacts, synchronised from an enterprise server....

Tried to change regional settings (normally is french), to english US, UK..... but does ot work.

Any idea ?

[Android Head-Units] jakestride:
I'm struggling with the number of threads and age of comments. I have an old defender pre-ODB2 spec (although working on a conversion module) and I think my requirements are simple. Which units would best suit my needs:

- just works (happy to install custom rom for this)

- Android Auto (planning on head unit reloaded unless out of box support)

- hands free mic works

- Bluetooth

- Reversing Camera

Nice to haves

- DVR

- DAB (in Australia don't really listen to radio so not big deal breaker)

- Ability to drive rear screens for kids (not urgent may use tablets)

I've been looking at 2DIN units but will be 3D printing new dash so form factor less of an issue.

Assumptions I've made but would appreciate comments/corrections:

- Android 7.1+ better

- physical buttons useful

- 2GB RAM enough

- sub $300 (ideally $250) otherwise why wouldn't I buy the sony xav-ax100
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mentalfloss:
The Problem: As soon as I make a call or answer one I'm receiving, the screen goes completely black, although the call is connected and I can speak with them okay. I almost always must reboot the phone by holding power and volume button in order to use my phone again. Very rarely the screen has turned back on, I think after the call disconnects, but this is not reproducible.

I can't say when this started happening, but it may have been after I was fixing a "ERROR: LoadImageAndAuth Failed: Load Error" boot up issue I created when messing around, I think when I restored an old backup made with TWRP. I fixed the problem using this method (a modified Deuce script/.bat file that flashed in the 8.1 OTA to both A/B slots) but I'm not positive. I don't talk on my phone that much so it's hard to say what when. :)

I'm contemplating putting my phone as far back to storebought-stock-setup as I can before I modified it with Magisk and TWRP, but I wanted to check in here to see if anyone had suggestions on what to look at. My Hope is this will subside when I undo everything and then I can see where the problem was created as I walk the path again, checking as I go.

I tried wiping my data partition in TWRP and setting Android it up from scratch but it looks like the water is still black.

That's good to know an unmodified version is also affected. Let us know what becomes your fix eventually, even if that means you had it swapped for another phone.

Turns out when the call disconnects I can access my screen again. A temporary fix I figured out is in Android's Accessibility settings you can set the power button to hang up a phone call, so that will let you get back into the system without forcing a reboot.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mentalfloss:
Doesn't apply to me

I have a screen protector but the phone still functioned okay after it was applied. Just to double-check this I just peeled it back right now and the same behavior still happened. :( Good point, though.

"We are making the OnePlus 5T UB case, but we do not have an available date yet. Keep visiting our website, we'll be happy to assist you when the product be available. ?"

I have used their cases on my 3 previous devices and have been very satisfied. I work in an industrial environment where pocket carry is very uncomfortable, yet exposed belt clip leaves the device vulnerable. This Unicorn Beetle Pro allows a belt clip carry and is durable enough to protect the device as I crawl around inside the belly of commercial aircraft.
