I can understand different manufactures wanting to put there own little spin on android for there devices to distingush them from others. But why can't I, If I choose to, just install whatever is the latest stock version of Android on my device?
Is Android so fragmented that there is no way for Google to release a standerd version of the OS that we can install and have whatever drivers we need downloaded/pushed to the device so that it will just work?
Just wondering
android is a system built to run on many different processors and other hardware specs and because it is a mobile os it would take up tonnes of space to include all the drivers for every hardware.
there for manufactures have to build their own kernel and drivers run the android virtual machine on top of that
and manufactures for some reason like to put their own spin on it to try and differentiate from other manufactures. as Andy Rubin said its a feature that android can look so different and the apps still work
and androids not that fragmented any more most of the devices are running 2.x
so basically you cant just install android because it is built to be device specific.
if you want you can hope a cyanogen mod is made for your device thats the closest you will get to stock
hope that helps
Dear XDA forum,
So I came from a galaxy note 3 where I did run linux but it was rooted. Since rooting gets rid of some functions on my galaxy note 7 I decided to use gnuroot debian which allows linus to run ontop of andriod via a P-root instead of a chroot. I have got blender running and it works (using Spen as a mouse/stylus). I have several hpc computing applications such as calculix, C++/Python IDE and compilers and scilab which all have arm based versions so It would run native on my SD820. So my question to those who have used this is:
Is it a full desktop variant of debian which is up to date?
How can I get a gui using x server and how do I give it access to device cpu/gpu, and sensors fully to be used with said applications?
Is this possible without root?
I just don't want to loose out on several note 7 features and knox features since I would loose them if I root.
Hello Guys,
I was just wondering if it would be theoretically possible to port the Windows 10 on ARM OS from a Laptop like the "Asus NovaGo TP370QL" which is using an snapdragon 835 to a phone like the Mi Mix 2 which is using the same SOC ??
I dont really know much about Operating Systems, but since it is the same SOC and a phone is nothing more than a Computer, there should be probably a chance to get it running right?
Im really interested in your thought!

Don't think it's possible. This version of the Snapdragon 835 is customized to run on Windows 10 on ARM, which is also customized to run on ARM. And if it's possible, it'll take hella lot of work I think.
Hi it's available for mi4 : http://en.miui.com/thread-189556-1-1.html
But I don't know if one day this can be available on mi mix 2 :/

This was an exclusice deal between Xiami and Microsoft back then. I don't think this will ever come to any other Xiaomi device as it was Win10 mobile, which is dead.

Would be nice though using a full windows 10 installation on the go.
Probably that was something microsoft was aiming for when they brought windows 10 mobile to the Mi 4....
Eventhough the installation, drivers, etc probably doesnt work, would a bootloader like TWRP be able to boot the arm iso of windows?

TWRP isn't a bootloader, it's a recovery. But you're right, TWRP would probably be able to INSTALL the image, but it wouldn't work.
Thanks for your opinion on this topic
I think i ll read some more about making your own rom for a device and probably try it out on my phone.
But i have no great hope for even getting to boot the iso ^^
(I should probably wait for Microsoft to publish a mobile OS again before I brick my phone )

You're welcome And better don't even try installing the iso as you might really brick your phone
I have been trying to use my Google Pixel XL (Marlin) too jailbreak iOS devices using the arm64 version of checkra1n exploit using the Terminux app however when I'm using my Pixel which is Magisk rooted and using a custom Kernel (I have tried EX and Kirisaiura) on Android 10, It seems to linger and then throw errors -21, 28 and -78.
I have looked up these errors on the projects GitHub issues page and noted that most of the people who get these errors are people using older RaspberryPi models.
I'm not sure why but I can't seem to get it too work, on the YouTube guides/tutorials on even on the threads on here talking about running the exploit on an iOS device using an Android device they are using varying models of Samsung and Sony phones - are there maybe missing drivers which allow the phone to 'see' the iOS devices in DFU mode? Is it maybe the Kernals I have tried?
Im unsure and stuck but am keen to find an answer to will attempt any information people throw my way.
Thanks for reading!
- Ian.
checkra1n can't run on kernel 3.xx environment, you must use device with kernel 4.xx
Ah, right - thanks for the answer.
Follow-up question: is Kernal 4.xx available/ever going to be possible on this device?
For starters, I am new to android. I have used an android for 5 years, but I have yet to tinker with it extensively. I have a lot of experience with Linux and command-line tools though, so my knowledge level is whatever transfers over from that.
I am getting a new phone, and I want to keep my s9 to do cybersecurity work on, particularly running kali nethunter (https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter). As I am aware, for the version I will be running (lite), I just need TWRP (docs say root not required, but I thought installing custom recovery required root).
I read a bunch of threads on here, and it seems that it is indeed possible to root a snapdragon S9, is this still the case? If root really isn't required, how would I install a custom recovery? Would I run into any extreme issues?
Please excuse the ignorance, the information is kind of overwhelming to a newcomer.
