I want to apologize for my review about this app not working. Just used it to save hours of frustration and probably money. Worked perfectly. Thanks, sorry and i will be using this so much now!

This is a bogus app. It says it can't work without installing another super bogus app, the SuperSU. I wonder why there is no zero-star option here. I want a refund.

This wonder is simply one of the most useful application I know for my Android phones. Say goodbye to burning CDs/DVDs/USB keys. Saves you time and frustration if you're the curious / experimental type of user. It works perfectly with LineageOS 14, 15 and 16 on a Samsung Galaxy S4 ( SGH-i337m ) It works perfectly with Gingerbread 2.3.5 stock rom on a Motorola XT760. Also works on Linux Mint 19

Sadly, this doesn't work on Android 10. I really hope there's an update to support it since this project helped in volumes I can't convey.

Had this app on my old Note 3 and it worked without any problems. Upgraded to an S9 Plus, rooted with Magisk and unable to host any images. The app works, can grant root access, find iso files but cant host them. Checked around for a kernel that supports cd/usb emulation and cannot find any.

Never finds a root path. Keeps looking at finite level..

About this app

This application requires root

DriveDroid allows you to boot your PC from ISO/IMG files stored on your phone. This is ideal for trying Linux distributions or always having a rescue-system on the go... without the need to burn different CDs or USB pendrives.

DriveDroid also includes a convenient download menu where you can download USB-images of a number of operating systems from your phone (like Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE and Arch Linux). Around 35 different systems are available at this moment.

You can also create blank USB-images which allows you to have a blank USB-drive. From your PC you can store files onto the USB-drive, but also use tools on your PC to write images to the drive.

Notes
• This application uses features of the kernel that may or may not be available/stable on your phone. Tests have shown most phones work without problems, but please keep in mind yours might not (yet) work out-of-the-box.
• Most kernels support emulating USB drives, some support emulating CD-rom drives and kernels with the right patches support both.
• Most Linux-related ISOs can be booted from USB drives, but some ISOs can only be booted from CD-rom drives or require some kind of conversion.

Paid version
• No ads.
• Resizing of images.
• Add your own download repositories. Nice for companies or groups that want to share custom or licensed images.
