Installed RemixOS. Just a couple of questions...

Installed ROS on HDD to dual boot with Win7 on a Dell 1121. A couple of quick questions:

1-Mouse pointer is shaky or jumpy, is this normal behavior in R.OS? If not how to fix?

2-Both pre-installed file manager and cheetah FMgr were not able to explore the other 2 partitions (Win7-NTFS and one for data-Fat32). Is there a way to do that?

3-Is it possible for ROS to gain access via a USB cord to an external SDCard, external HDD or a Rooted Note 3 to view Ex/Internal storage?

4-How do you add an account, specifically I wanted to add my Gmail account to backup/restore whatsapp.

5-Got whatsapp working but it can only be on one device. Is there a way to run it on ROS and on my phone?

2- No, Windows can read one partition of Remix, but Remix can't read any other partition on your PC.
4- To add a Google account, you can go to Jide's website and see their recommended method.
5- No, and it's not a Jide concern. It's a WhatsApp limitation.

THANX! I adjusted mouse pointer speed, it's normal now. My system has become more and more stable. This OS is really phenominal.
Another question - How do you call for a menu of an app. For instance the file manager I use has a menu with a boat load of options. Menu soft key on the phone calls it. Top right it has a 3 bar menu but that is to create a new folder or file. I can't figure out how to call for the app's menu so that I can access it's settings, etc.
Image 1 is from RemixOS Laptop and image 2 shows menu as it appears on the phone (sorry it's dark, menu dissappears when I try to take a screenshot so I had to use this LT's web cam)

You have to use an application designed for Lollipop, which doesn't require a menu button. Hamburger and 3-dot in-app menus work normally as they should.

Thanx! I will test the Lollipop update I might like it better in R-OS than on the phone.
While in Windows 7 how/where can I find the download folder in R-OS partition? I can see some folders there but clicking on each all the way to it's last sub-folder I can't seem to find it or any of the folders normally visible in a file manger in R-OS.
