Linux on DeX - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

I've read some reports of Linux on DeX running on the S10+. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? I already have the app installed and I'm a member of the beta group...
Thanks in advance.

Download the image from webview.linuxondex.com to your device, or just copy from your pc to your s10. Then you can browse the image in linux on dex app.

I received an e-mail about a week ago from the "Linux on DEX" team stating the Galaxy S10 series of smartphones are now officially supported.

Too bad it's just Ubuntu 16.04, all ARM64 based Distros should work theoretically.

Is there any way to get Ubuntu on our note?

I was thinking.. would it be possible to either dual boot, or install latest (or any other) version of Ubuntu on our Note? I've search the web, but haven't found anything useful.

Xposed for Lollipop on Genymotion

I tried to install xposed-arm-20150213b.zip (by drag and drop) in Genymotion Android 5.0 VM, but when I run the new installer, it says the framework is not installed at all.
Anyone is able to do that?

It's expected, as xposed on Lollipop is now only works on ARMv7 (and I believe Genymotion should be x86)
And flashing xposed in Genymotion Android 5.0 VM actually seems to corrupt some very important parts of ART (I've tried it myself). After flashing you won't be able to install any app anymore (luckily it's a VM so I can start from scratch again). I don't think anyone should be flashing xposed on Genymotion for the time being.
I'm using Genymotion myself, and it's working if compiled for x86. However, I can't even catch up with issues on ARM at the moment, so I would like to postpone posting the binaries for x86 and arm64 until the dust has settled a bit.

Xposed for Genymotion would speed up module adaption, so it would be great if it could happen. Not too happy with KitKat on my SGS2 right now... Some more stability+some Xposed fixes and I will be fine, but would like to update one module for others.
But everything has its time...

Does it work with houdini without native binary for x86?
I want to try it on my ASUS ZenFone 6 running 5.0 lollipop.

Google phone/dialer app for Moto G5+

Hi,
i am perfectly fine with stock ROM and only one thing i would like to have beside. And it is Google phone app with capability to do search nearby places right from the phone app and the capability to see who actually calling behind unknown number.
I see some apks on apkmirror, but latest nonnexus apk is from 2016. So i rather ask here first. Do you guys tried this app and can confirm it has all the features i would like to have? Is it possible to have this app on our phone?
Do you have link to app for our device?
Thank you

I pulled this from OpenGapps. Flash the following Google dialer framework in TWRP and install it from the playstore... All the features work for me.

Possible operator error. Also, this isn't designed for Oreo to begin with.

How is it possible user error if it wasn't designed for Oreo? you never mentioned what os it was meant for. In any case, it did not, in fact, work for Oreo. However I did successfully use it for 7. Thanks for your work.

At first, I was saying it's an operator error because it does work. Of course it doesn't work for Oreo it clearly states the date when I pulled the framework in May. The OP was asking to use an updated dialer in stock. I provided him the framework with the ability to do so.... I wouldn't specify why because I was answering the OP.

same procedure as non rooted devices, Install as normal apk
I can confirm that it works on Moto G5 Plus (Sanders), stock rom, rooted with Magisk. Installed the dialer framework from the post by @atrac17 above, then phone apk (v.11) from here. (Play Market installation was still showing as unavailable for my device.) Then all I needed to do was to change the default phone app to google phone rather than Moto. Thanks for your help, guys. Couldn't figure it out by myself.
So freaking annoying we have to do this!.. Why on earth do we need Moto's dialer?!

Magisk to fix overly restrictive SELinux filesystem permissions in Android N and O?

Is posible use magisk to fix overly restrictive SELinux filesystem permissions in Android Nougat and Oreo
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37091475
Well this is crap!!!
This is exactly like if Windows would deny end users permission to Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Process Explorer! It is laughable! It is unacceptable! I'm absolutely shocked that this is where Android has gone now. It's getting worse. Since API level 26 (Android O, to be released) you cannot even access any more /prop/stat of your own process. In addition https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ActivityManager.html#getRunningServices(int) is being deprecated. Hereafter there is no way to know anything about any process running on a device.

If you find wich system file(s) are to be eddited, we could setup an Magisk module, assuming that the file(s) is/are located in the system part.
The file(s) path(s) aren't present by your link.

Answer to that is No dude unfortunately
One of the Samsung Employee at the Dreamhack 2018 in Leipzig sayed it's makeable to install it. try it with installing the APK downloaded from apkmirror or with an install zip. You can find it searching for it with google's help
Nice to know, he installed ultimate nougat s8 rom on his wifes s6 ^^ at this point I started to love him ^^ and they have an eye on the samsung xda community.
