Right. But you can interact with those resources. This has always been the only mass way to install Linux. There used to be a way, but I couldn't replicate it. Keep an eye on Ubuntu though.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Franzferdinan51:
I'm interested but will it run native or chroot?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] DragonFire1024:
Supposed to be both, but have only been able to get chroot going.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Franzferdinan51:
I think native might require BL unlock but I'm not even close to an expert I will say that it whould be cool to port a ChromeOS varient chromium or cloudready even
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] DragonFire1024:
I think, though I'll have to look, I had a Gentoo Android installation. I never tried it and not sure if I still have it. Supposedly it just needs installing into /data. I'll look for it and a link and post my findings a little later.

Double down on IDK

[/COLOR]

Not close to expert on Android on ARM myself, although I used to dumpster dive for 386 PCs when I discovered linux and 486s we're just coming out, and I was "stuck" with a 68k Mac. Bought the first bootable Linux CD back in the 90s (Debian), got Linux running on a DEC Alpha soon after, so I've been around the block. I don't see any reason at all to get linux on a Fire except as an academic challenge. ChromiumOS (and ChromeOS) are crippled Linux. Period. CloudReady is just Chrome tweaked for old x86 PCs. Linux itself would just give you some extra developer tools, maybe. Perhaps a pro might secretly do penetration testing with a Kindle that way, but it would be like trying to fish with firecrackers. Might as well get a RPi. Is there a particular app you want to run? I can see trying to break from Amazon's walled garden with an alt Android, but anything else and you might as well write your own OS. That's about the level of challenge you're talking about. Dragonfire1024- am I right? I don't mean to be harsh, just realistic. Personally, I'd rather spend time on development boards like the Pi, than reverse engineer a Fire to that extent.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] DragonFire1024:
To each their own I guess. My goal is to at some point get nethunter to work in a better capacity than this guide. There's a lot more you can do with parts of Linux. For example, attempt to root other devices, build parts of or whole ROMs, etc.

Suddenly, I am not able to activate WiFi using Settings. It just hangs for a while and then tells me that Settings isn't working.. If I power off and then on, everything works OK.

Can I fix this?

Thanks.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] pitrus-:
Is this on original OxygenOS ROM? Sounds like your wifi driver crashed and burned, probably caused by something wrong in the driver or the userspace.

All you can do is make sure your system is updated, and if that doesn't help, do a factory restore and hope for the best.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] mikle85:
I have unbricked a op3T 128gb today and i'm having the same issue. i bought the phone bricked and i have no info about the history of it. after the unbrick process i have oxygenos 3.5.1 android 6.0.1 on it. Kernel is 3.18.20-pref+

if i think about it someone might updated it and now it needs the modem updating or something? how can i update everything to latest oxygenOS trough Abd or without any wifi?

Wifi mac address is 02:00:00:00:00:00 hmmm....
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] pitrus-:
You can always download the latest full OOS zip to the root of the internal storage, rename it to update.zip and the just enter normal recovery using volume up and power to let it install.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] pileot:
I have had the OP3 (not T) for a while, no problems rooting with custom recovery.

I just got a 3T and this has me stumped. My process has been as follows.

Wipe device, start with a clean slate. USB Debugging and OEM Unlock enabled.

Reboot to Fastboot. Fastboot OEM Unlock. select yes.

Let it fully boot.

Reboot to Fastboot.

Fastboot flash recovery "twrp-3.2.1-x_blu_spark_v8.61-op3_op3t.img"

fastboot flash recovery B:\!Desktop\twrp-3.2.1-x_blu_spark_v8.61-op3_op3t.img

OKAY [ 0.500s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.172s]
finished. total time: 0.672s

Success!

Reboot device, let boot fully. Everything works.

Reboot recovery. Still stock recovery?!?

Why am I unable to flash custom recovery and have it stick?

Also, If I try going into custom recovery straight from flashing it seems to be fine but then never boots.

Can someone more experienced than me please point out where Im going wrong?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] pileot:
I also tried an older recovery I had for my OnePlus3 (not T), twrp-3.1.1-x_blu_spark_v8.54-op3_op3t.img, still no luck.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] pitrus-:
You can't boot an original ROM after flashing TWRP, as just like on Samsung phones, booting up the original ROM it restores the original recovery.

However there's guides for disabling this process around in the forum, never done it myself, but I guess you simply delete the recovery image from the system partition wherever it's stored.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Didgeridoohan:
You already have your answer. Booting straight to the OS without further modifications replaces the custom recovery with the stock one.

To keep the stock recovery you need to boot to TWRP and flash a custom kernel, dm-verity remover, root (Magisk or SuperSU), or something like that.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] mikex8593:
You have to boot straight into recovery from fastboot with "fastboot reboot recovery" before booting into the ROM
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
This way doesn't work any more. TWRP doesn't patch the kernel.

You have to use a custom kernel, a patched stock kernel (https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3t/ho...force-encryption-op3t-t3688748/post74155053), or install Magisk or SuperSU.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Nexus5-32GB:
all I have to do after flashing OxygenOS (which overwrite recovery) is flash twrp immediately after flashing the rom (no reboot) and then REBOOT to recovery! This always worked for me. I have done this yesterday after flashing latest OOS beta 20. No magisk or supersu needed.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] pileot:
My problem with booting straight to recovery is it would fail to boot after, I waited on that oneplus screen for like 2 hours lol.

For whatever reason I flashed recovery twrp-3.2.1-x_blu_spark_v8.61-op3_op3t.img

Booted to recovery

ADB push blu_spark_r209-oos-oreo_op3-op3t_a9745b4.zip

Install THAT in recovery

Success! it booted.

No idea what the difference is, I dont know why its such a bother now it used to be so easy just flash custom recovery and continue on my way but now it seems theres a lot of dicking around.

Thanks to all those who offered help.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
The reason it's more complicated is that the boot process now ensures that the stock recovery is used (it will restore it automatically), that the system partition hasn't been touched, and that encryption is on.

Custom kernels don't enforce these security checks.
[Magisk] cyberain:
Hi! I am realy miss about module for Magisk that can show network speed on status bar :) Maybe some Magicians can write something for us?:) That will be realy cool!:)

S7 Edge - TAPATALK
[Magisk] JJohnson1988:
Wouldn't this have to be done via Xposed? Not sure if Magisk can do this by itself.
[Magisk] cyberain:
Xposed have that module, but it broke safety net and i stop using Xposed :)

S7 Edge - TAPATALK
[Magisk] JJohnson1988:
Yeah, but my whole point is the purpose of Xposed is to do what you're looking for. Magisk is only used to systemless-ly install things that would otherwise have to be installed on /system.
[Magisk] darkbeast13:
Ummm...

Why don't you use app like internet speed meter:confused:
[Magisk] Gourii:
I agree with you, this module is necessary!
[Magisk] madbat99:
Magisk is not capable of doing that. Just use magisk version of Xposed. Turn it off when you need to pass safetynet.
[Magisk] Gourii:
I use magisk for root access and contactless payment. To pay using nfc, I have to turn off the module in xposed?
[Magisk] madbat99:
If you use systemless Xposed for magisk, whenever you want to pass safetynet just go in magisk manager and turn off Xposed. Reboot. All good. When done with nfc payment just turn it back on. Who accepts nfc payment now? McDonald's and subway?
[Magisk] Gourii:
Subwey and grocery stores. Well, thank you. If you don't find another solution, then use your recommendation.

:good:
[Magisk] UzairAdeel:

[Google Daydream VR] lfmattar:
I have a Moto Z2 Play running Android 7.1

MZ2P is not a daydream ready device, yet you can manage this and install daydream straight from playstore by editing some files.

I edited "handheld_core_hardware.xml" to add the following lines:

<feature name="android.software.vr.mode" />

<feature name="android.hardware.vr.high_performance" />

And I also edited the build.prop to replace the device listed on "ro.product.device" to sailfish

This method, which I found here: https://www.xda-developers.com/force-daydream-vr-compatibility/ solved the problem for installing daydream on my device.

But when I try to install Rez Infinite it still says my device is not compatible.

I have tried downloading Rez Infinite from an external source and installing it, still no luck. I get an error message saying it is not compatible.

I have tried device faker apps to spoof my device as a compatible one, but those apps are all outdated. And I have tried some other things as well, and none of them worked.

Any ideas on how to run Rez Infinite on uncompatible devices, if there is a way at all?

Thanks
[Google Daydream VR] guideahon:
Ok, first of all, i guess you already know this but you need the proper hardware, i managed to make my lgg5 work with daydream although it's not officialy compatible, REQUIREMENTS: snapdragon 820 or better, 4gb of ram, gyroscope, accelerometer and best with an oled screen for low persistence. The changes you mentioned área right but you need to make those prior to connecting to Google with your phone, a good way is to install a new ROM without connecting to the internet, make those changes and reboot, then use your phone as usual and everything should be working flawlessly.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] paul_o:
Hi all,

Has anyone else got the above kit for their Kaiser/Tilt?

I had a Hermes with the THB specific cradle and when the Kaiser cradle was released I bought/installed it but have found a fundamental design flaw........

When the phone is in the cradle, it seems to catch the Voice recorder/commander button (i.e. button 6), and then (depending on your flavour of ROM) will kick off the voice recorder application. I can obviously disable this feature (albeit a bit of a pain to lose it) but as the button is still being depressed, you cannot use any other buttons or the d-pad.

The only way around this appears to be if you adjust the phone within the cradle - but this is both hit and miss and less than satisfactory.

Has anyone else had the same issue - or am I missing something fundamental??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] corny749:
Hi Paul,

I don't recognize this problem for my TyTN-II. However, when I put it in the cradle, I always have to lift it a millimeter or so from the backside of the cradle. I think the placement of the USB connector is a bit wrong.

What is different between face unlock and trusted face?

Someone please explain me.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] pitrus-:
Trusted face is associated with the smart lock-feature which keep the phone unlocked when at home, on the move or when it recognize your face. This all requires that the phone has been unlocked already through usual means, password, pattern or fingerprint.

Face unlock however is when you can unlock your phone directly using just your face.

[Device Reviews and Information] mjm716:
care to expand on TWRP rooting?!

(there is a trick in doing so as the install wasn't quite so straightforward)
[Device Reviews and Information] Sculletto:
For those wondering how to root this phone, its actually pretty simple. THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING.

Assuming you know some basic adb commands..

You wanna start off with making sure your bootloader is unlocked, which can be done fairly easily with ADB tools.

Don't be alarmed when your phone resets a couple times, its erasing data and reformating.

Once your bootloader is unlocked and your phone restarts, remember to reenable USB debugging. and then go to fastboot mode again to flash our recovery.

(I used the recovery link listed in the SUflash method that comes up when googling 'x30 doogee root')

Once our recovery is installed, we'll wanna put the latest version of SuperSU (Make sure its the zip, not the apk) onto your phone/SD card. Boot into recovery, and install SuperSU through TWRP.

Congratz, you've succesfully rooted your X30 :)

Tested and verified on mine. Sorry I could not include links, do not have enough posts. Just wanted to be of assistance!
