Using a Surface Pro 2, almost there, but seeking advice to go the rest of the way



I have a Surface Pro 2 that runs Remix OS PC 3 well enough, it just doesn't sleep it very well. Based on some complaints from regular Linux distributions I figured out that the lid closed switch freaks out on wakeup. That can be taken care of easily enough with a

Code:


echo LID0 disabled > /proc/acpi/wakeup

Now 90% of the time the tablet wakes up correctly. That last 10% it still has problems. What happens, and this was the same as before adjusting LID0, is the screen comes on full brightness, then either turns off or freezes after a few seconds. Either way, a reboot is required to fix it. I can usually get to the debug terminal, but the graphical display is broken.

Another remaining issue is the wifi. Once it's working, it works well enough, except that the region stuff isn't set, so the driver doesn't enable 5ghz. On Ubuntu

Code:


modprobe mwifiex reg_alpha2=US

will get it working, but the region information doesn't appear to be in Remix, because that doesn't enable 5ghz, or produce the expected cfg80211 initialization messages. Any advice on setting wifi region in Remix?

Is there any init.d type mechanism I can tap into? I tried using kernel adiutor's init.d emulation, but despite toast messages suggesting it's working, I still have to manually disable LID0.

Heart rate monitor is (almost) always On



Anyone has noticed this? Almost every time I look under my watch the heart rate monitor is glowing green. Is this normal?

Why will my OP3 almost never connect to 4G 99% of the time?



My OP3 refuses to pickup 4G in places that my old iPhone 5s and 6P always did. Why is this?



What options are almost as secure as "secure startup" (PIN on boot)? How close?



So I have a bootloader unlock, TWRP'd HTC 10 and I know that the Nexus 6P and many newer devices allow you to enable secure startup. When you set security to PIN, MM asks you if you want to require the PIN to boot the device. If you say yes, during boot the number keypad will be presented and you have 30 tries to enter the right PIN or it erases your device. Unfortunately, with this option enabled when I flash themes (tried different ROMs, different sources), it almost always hangs just before presenting this keypad with a message that says "Preparing Settings". The screen is normal with secure startup, but after a time it proceeds to the keypad. Anyway, I want to be secure so I've left it enabled and then I forget, flash a theme, and bang - phone is screwed up.

I believe that if I don't enable this then the data system is encrypted, and I know when I boot into TWRP it asks for a PIN to decrypt and mount data. If I encrypt my SD and store the TWRP backups there, (or password protect the backups) wouldn't that protect me from someone getting into one of those? At least the data partition? And any malcontent couldn't generate a new one including data to browse because they wouldn't be able to mount data in the first place without the PIN, right? If all this is true then I'm not sure what they could get with just the system partition (and boot and recovery of course)...

Can anyone shed light onto whether secure startup is really buying me anything with these other precautions in place, and if you think secure startup is worth it? Thanks!

New to XDA,Rooting and almost anything related to the phones software



Hey guys. I have been using the Oneplus One wit CM13 and I just got handed an HTC 10 from my friend, and after using it I felt quite restricted software-wise as compared to the OPO. I do know what are the advantages of rooting (Getting full control of the phone for starters). But i dont have the slightest clue as to how to do it, what software tools and equipment I need and what may happen if I succeed or screw up :p :p . Long story short, I'm a true newbie at this and would like to learn a lot before messing around and bricking my phone or something. So i just wanted to ask where I should start off and i'll be on my way and keep reading.
Thanks in advance guys. :)
