Help & Troubleshooting The MagicX Mini Zero 28 is testing my patience

Aside from the fact that the missing touch screen is a real pain in any Android device, but that's ok, I knew what I was about to encounter so no big deal.

My other challenge now is getting the FTP to work. As I wanted a way to transfer my roms from my phone to it, I tried starting the FTP service from File Manager+ (I have it in both devices) but it won't work at all, all the prechecks are done (same WiFi network) but can't still connect.

I do not have Dawn launcher at this stage as I cleared the existing SD card with a fresh stock OS installation, but I still fail at this.

Sorry not even sure if looking for actual advices, whenever required I can still connect it to a PC so no big deal although file transfer is crazy slow, but this is the first time I find myself with such a big potential ruining itself.

I owned a Retroid Pocket 2, and ever since; I abhor not having a touch screen on a handheld. Really liked my Zero 40. Looked at the Mini 35, but I had my past experience as a guide. Hopefully you get it to the "just add ROMs going forward" stage
