I have to say it was a bit tricky first to get it flashed but works like a charme now :-) For testing the virtualbox idea is enough, but I prefer having it installed instead. The new "full" version is really awesome as it has all the tools included now instead of downloading half of the stuff. I means the small one might be useful for some but the full is what the majority will need ;-) Many thanks to the developer which was very helpful during the whole progress!! Was this review helpful?

If you want to create a Swap partition fails. it works if you choose not to create a Swap partition, but after rebooting it stucks in plymouth. There are two metapackages in their custom repo: maid-desktop-light amd maid-desktop-full . These metapackages are a complete nonsense. It makes no sense to include Firefox and Chromium as dependencies. Both metapackages should be in conflict with each other. If you choose the full version you have 3 browsers (Midore, Firefox and Chromium) preinstalled. After installing Pamac, it crashed in the middle of an update. Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 4.0 Rating: 9 Date: 2023-06-02 Votes: 22 A great idea - with room for improvements. I use it to backup my LG phones but also to have an always working adb connection with me wherever I go (I flashed mAid to an USB stick permanently which is supported now with v4). the open list of feature request lemme hope there is more to come, ideally I would really love installing mAid as a (meta)-package on Arch(based) distros. Upgrading maid requires a full re-flash always and that should be avoided. other then that: mAid saved my life a bunch of times and I can just recommend it - the remote support thing which is included is a life saver, too! (hey dad boot mAid, start teamviewer, connect your phone, I'll do the rest ;) ) Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 5 reader reviews of mAid...
