I didn't know Kali was good daily driver
[Linux] tberma:
It is a good daily driver if you know how to adapt it to your needs as Kali is different in terms of some settings such as repositories settings grub settings etc....
[Linux] sammiev:
Tried most Linux OS and Arch is my go to but likely not for beginners.

1. MX Linux -> Debian Beginners

2. EndeavourOS - Manjaro - Garuda - ArchLabs -> Arch Beginners

3. Arch -> Some Arch Base Experience.

They are all very good OS, you use what works for you!

Where's Debian?

For those who talk about Ubuntu and don't talk about Debian it should be a crime xD.

I changed from Window$ to Ubuntu and the PC crashed after the installation! I downloaded the ISO again and the same thing happened.

I searched the internet for ¨safe and stable Linux¨ and only Debian appeared.

My first Debian was Wheezy and it still works like new!

Comparative with Ubuntu, it's more stable, lighter and safer.

Even Kali It's better.

Considering that most people don't know about OS or computers, it is better to recommend OS that are light, because with Ubuntu most PC will not work or won't run with acceptable speed.

Arch, Fedora are other options.
[Linux] Deleted member 10260383:
You can change Kali repositories to Debian, did you know?
[Linux] :
Zorin OS has a beautiful UI and is easy to use, but the premium edition has you pay for a "curated collection" of apps that are already free, kinda a scam. Also, unless you use the "Lite" version with the XFCE desktop environment, it can be quite heavy.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Pitchb3nd:
Hi, I've noticed an anoying problema, after haging a call I get the phone keyboard screen instead of the home screen of the TF3D.

Is there any solution to this, someone said tweaking the "call progress idle timeout" option in Advanced Config, but apparently it only works if you have the phone skin disabled.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] iliescu902:
disable phone skin with advance config. reasons:

1. frees up A LOT of memory

2. goes directyl to tfl3d after ending a call

3. yes, it looks ugly but you'll get used to it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] majsel:
wait 3 sec(set as default) and phone keyboard will dissapear.

[General Questions and Answers] Fandroid Tech:
I have an issue that I think is very strange. I was flashing my phone via edl when my power cable moved accidently unplugging it, I though had thought that it is not big matter and replugged it. My issue arouse when no matter what tool I used Sahara failed to get the serial number, thankfully I had taken a photo of it before hand. The phone now fails to flash no matter what firehose file I use. Thankfully the phone is still operable as the samsung bootloader was not damaged, however my phone is still in KG STATE: PRENORMAL and FRP locked. Do you know how to restore the serial number? I thank you for any assistance, I whoever I feel like the phone is a lost cause.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] ajaxx_:
Hello,

I have an HTC U11 that was with the Sprint carrier. I no longer use it with the carrier, only WiFi.

I've reset the wifi settings, cleaned cache, forgot the network. Rebooted the modem. It'll randomly disconnect from the wifi without warning and struggle to connect again. I haven't installed any new apps.

I have done a hard reset to factory version, wiped it totally clean.. and it was fine for a few days and now back to the same issue. :-(

I have a J700m (J7 2015). I installed a combination with Odin and didn't put a custom recovery. Now when I connect the phone to the PC with Download mode it is not recognized by Odin or any other application, even with Windows emitting USB connection alert sound. I've reinstalled the Samsung drivers and it's still the same. I tested it with 3 different cables and even on another computer, and it still doesn't recognize it on Odin. I hope someone helps me, I want to get this phone back.

Step 1: You need to install the HTC drivers (Google, Samsung etc...) in the normal mode your PC will find your phone, but when you turn into Fastboot you get that error "Unknown USB device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) "

Step 2: Make sure you see that error in your Device Manager under USB - Controller

Step 3: Open "regedit"

Step 4: Navigate to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags

Step 5: Create a new Key called

0BB40FF00100

Step 6: In that Key you create a Binary Value

Name: SkipBOSDescriptorQuery

Value: 01 00 00 00 (ignore the "0000" at the beginning)

Step 7: Reconnect the Phone

[Magisk] Burt Squirtz:
So I'm surprised this isn't Priority One across the board for development with Android.

Now that it looks like John's gone, I'm actually shocked that no one is tried to take over or step forward to try and come up with an alternative. This should be all hands on deck Priority One as not having root is far sh1tt1er than having it. Maybe I just I'm not up to the newest dev news. Does anyone have any information on possible development about that?
[Magisk] Theraze:
The vvb2060 Alpha builds are still getting updated, and as that had been a trusted collaborator with John, that seems to be the current path for continued development.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Why does everyone assume that development of Magisk has stopped? Until we hear anything from John there's zero need for "fear mongering" and speculation...
[Magisk] 73sydney:
FUD is what keeps forums running :)
[Magisk] Burt Squirtz:
Yes I've been running the alpha build since earlyJune. However I worry/sneaking suspicion and inclination that his intention or competency level is to tweak existing technology rather than flat out create compatibility for Android 12 for example. These are my fears.
[Magisk] 73sydney:
You need to step back, take a chill pill, and unclench :) :)
[Magisk] Burt Squirtz:
trying to look cool? Not sure why you bothered to type this - as absolutely nothing in my post would indicate that I'm not calm.

Surprised more people are asking this question about having root in the future.
[Magisk] F308:
Well.

It is better to think ahead but it may happen that demand will create supply.

It is basic market rule.

I hope & pray that current Magisk will continue to work even if site where it checks updates and modules disappears.
[Magisk] 73sydney:
Because the FUD was boring a month ago

The only prospecting you should be doing should involve a gold pan :)

p.s. My default setting is humour, sometimes people get it, some dont, the clue would have been the 2 smilies i put in to try and make certain it was taken that way

p.p.s. Casting doubt on someones abilities (vvb2060) isnt cool, just saying, they guy is working largely on his own to add features/fixes from the original Magisk repo issues, so maybe cut him some slack? or help out?

Game over? I think we read that text and came to two very different conclusions...

It's far from game over.
[Magisk] mstrnemo:
So as far i understand he is allowed to continue working on magisk but is not allowed to do any work on magisk hide or any hide module he claims that is just 5% of the work so if he does magisk and someone else adds magisk hide function it is all good right ?
[Magisk] l7777:
This sounds simple enough, but Magisk without MagiskHide will be relatively useless since most apps that aren't a web browser will refuse to run because they detect root and/or an unlocked bootloader. This is the core problem that Magisk solves. The rest of the Magisk modules are nice to haves.

Until the apps try to detect modifications to themselves rather than simply seeing if there is a possibility of modification they are not doing anything for security but instead further locking users into their ecosystem.
[Magisk] mstrnemo:
I would imagen magisk would not be useless as i would assume magisk and a hide module would be in development in paralell to each other so magisk by the creator and hide by other developer who is kind innof to help out so yeah.

unless people ditch magisk alltogether and fork it and do it difrently who knows

i just read the article about this on the xda homepage and read through the comments people seem to be freaking out and spell doom to custom roms and everything about it pretty funny though but i geuss the signs are on the wall....
[Magisk] l7777:
Ok, useless might have been too strong. If a hide module is developed and maintained then things will largely stay the same. That said, until that materializes, it is the end of Magisk as we know it. Anyone who claims that nothing will change is going to give rise to a lot of disappointment. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of talented developers and one could very likey pick up where TJW leaves off but I certainly wouldn't bet on it.

IMO rather than fight with the our small community, Google/Android should provide us a way to self sign our devices and absolve themselves of any responsibility to keep our devices "secure".
[Magisk] mstrnemo:
Yeah agree on your first part

now about that second part..

never going to happen why ? because what do you think we are to those companys? what do you think they would call us people who dont buy a new phone every year and keep older phones working for a couple years with the latest software huh ? we cost them money it is in their best interest that none of all this works and or is capable because if it wasnt everyone here would have to get a new phone ergo bringing in the bacon for those said companys...

I wish we could send out a message a reqeust to all the developers on this site and be like oke guys lets ditch android it is not worth the ffort anymore lets get together all of us and work on alternitives of wich we have 2

ubuntu touch linux os for phones (there are otheres but noone as far developt as this one) also it is stil not entirely their yet but it is very close.

sailfish wel basicly also linux this is next best thing to android it is based on nokia/intel meego project it is like i said linux based and open source this is what the developers should work on it is just rough araund the edges but works great one downside while it is opensource the ability to run android apps is properity software so developers would have to come with their own thing forexample maybe try and get wine to work on sailfish so u can use android apps as normal phone.

what do you think? developers unite in a avengers style and the ones who cant do code like myself help by donating ?
[Magisk] l7777:
Oh I would never expect #2 to happen either, that is why it's only my opinion.

A phone OS not managed by a large corporation would be great, but it couldn't survive without the app stores of the large corporations. That is what they are making money off of, not the devices. I think most of us already realize that so I'm just stating the obvious.
[Magisk] 73sydney:
/me makes decision to unwatch this thread...cant stand anymore batshizz crazy conspiracy theories
[Magisk] ldeveraux:
Unless you are TJW, you have no clue what will actually happen. I'm sure he doesn't know either!

Hey!

Finally I decided to upgrade 🤩, and I am pretty happy for doing that😊. Even though I didn't expect this now animations are way faster, and Safari is so much faster💨. On big sur it lagged so much that I couldn't even use it.

However there is feature that I was hoping to be able to use but got unfortunately discover it just isn't available. 😞

I would really like to have low power mode on my Mac, but it just doesn't appear any where in the OS. 🧐

What I found on the web is that it only works on early 2016 models and later.

Would it be possible for you to add a patch so they Mac thinks it's form 2016 so low power mode is available?

I think that way it should work but maybe you have a better idea...💡
[macOS] #mcl:
Hey! 👋🏻

So I decided to install macOS Monterey on a 15" MacbookPro with dual graphics(in this case, I have the GT 750M).

I followed the other's guide you made and everything works great👍🏻.

However as soon as I reboot into the USB, during the boot, the apple logo and progress bar glitches out and become tiny🧐. This persists when I get into Monterey recovery everything is sill tiny.

Anyway I tried to continue and it seems to install the OS, however when it ends the installation, the boot screen never ends, it get stuck and I know the installation is complete because I can hear Macos voiceOver function, saying how to use if I need, but on screen I only see the loading bar and the apple logo. I tried restarting and nothing. 😩

I also return to Big sur and then re do everything, got the same result.

Any help is welcome, and thanks in advance! 😇
[macOS] Nameless Foe:
Well, I got to say I havent seen this happen before... its probably something to do with graphic divers compatability. I will do some research and see if I can find a fix for you.
[macOS] #mcl:
Ok thanks in advance for your time ☺️
[macOS] Nameless Foe:
No worries
[macOS] #mcl:
Hey!

So finally the issue is finally fixed.

I tried to install Monterey using OpenCore legacy pacher and got the same result, however, it turns out I didn't see the warning when installing Monterey on this Mac(11,3). As it turns out when the installation is done you need to reboot in safe mode so the Mac don't use the Nvidia card.

Though, now with the latest version of OpenCore ( 0.4.7), it fixes that issue(on 0.4.6 you would have to reboot on safe mode).

Now when the installation is done it reboots it just and just works out of the box, and it automatically patches the system so you are able to use the Nvidia card without having to do extra steps.

So if anyone is interested in Installing Monterey on an unsupported Mac, visit their webpage, as everything is well documented, easy to follow and has an extensive list of supported devices.
[macOS] Nameless Foe:
Thanks for the news. When this guide was uploaded, this was the one of the earliest ways to get Monterey on unsupported devices
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] ennieni:
So I was trying to root my phone (Moto G4) using TWRP and Magisk but then when I tried to reboot it, it didn't work. So I went in and resetted the date (wiped data) and ticked the system data as well.

My phone can still access TWRP recovery mode as well as the bootloader screen. Flash is unlocked.

When I try to reboot it, nothing happens. It says "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"

Where do I find ROM for my Moto G4? Or is it forever gone?

Thank you.

This is the latest official build, got it from an XDA thread

G4 and G4Plus use the same software.

You can install it from TWRP (last official release), make sure you mount system first and wipe all the partitions you can.

Later you can flash Magisk.

How are you doing with the driver ports. Nice work tho!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] hehedi233:
The driver is currently only basic

Such as wifi, GPU, battery, etc. are all unavailable

[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Kenora_I:
Nice. Good work on that, I'm assuming this port will be easier when windows arm devices get more widespread and supported
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Wishmasterflo:
Good work. This is really great. :)

Will try that out the next days.

One thing I am just wondering.

How is it handled to boot Windows and Android?

So when you boot up the phone will it boot to Windows or to Android?

Or will it boot to Android and to boot to Windows you will need to fastboot the boot-fajita.img again?

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] damiensturdy:
Given it a go, it's not going bad is it? Very nice.

It took a while to set up so I wrote some scripts to partition and boot to recovery, along with scripts within recovery to deal with bootloader config. The only thing that wasn't automatic at this point was running DISM++

Good work. This is really great. :)

By default it will boot Android, unless you flash the windows bootloader img to boot.

I cannot recommend flashing the windows bootloader img at the moment- it worked and windows boots by default but from this point on I was unable to start TWRP, even via fastboot boot, so I'll have to MSM tool it to restore, which *does* wipe windows.

Other thoughts: This is almost usable, however, battery drain is through the roof and the touch screen driver is misconfigured for the display, so touch events are in the wrong place.

Keep going guys!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Wishmasterflo:
Great. Thanks for the answers. I will try that out as well.

I saw in the Tools folder there is a file "TouchScreen.reg" . Does that not fix the touchscreen issues or what does that do?
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] damiensturdy:
Actually, the last time I did it I didn't have any touchscreen issues- I must have skipped the reg file!
[OnePlus 6T  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Wishmasterflo:
I just bought a USB-c HUB to connect Mouse, keyboard, USB stick to my phone when setting this up.

So if I see this correct now and the boot file can only be booted via Fastboot and flashing it to boot is not recommended due to issues to boot TWRP afterwards there is no way now to boot that without having the phone connected to a Computer or?

OK I gave that a try now. I could boot to the EFI environment and tried to apply the Windows 11 arm64 image in Dism++.

After done the steps to select the ISO file and target C: it starts to copy files and after like 1 minute I get an error Message but all the text in the message is in Chinese letters so I dont know what the error means.

How can I set the language in Dism++ to english?

Thanks!
