HI all,  
on Raspberry I have always used the vcgencmd command to see the data that interests me from the mobile phone. I’m trying a OrangePi2+ and vcgenmod does not exist (but on raspberry vcgencmd is present by default). Can anyone help me and tell me how to add it, being a different architecture? Also, could the staff add it by default? Thank you!

No chance. vcgencmd is a special tool for RPi’s firmware as a part of VideoCore Tools.

With a android app, no. But you can use a Browser on mobile phone and [Linux Dash](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/dietpi-survey-information/32/1) or [PhpSysInfo](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/resolved-cannot-log-in-to-the-mysql-server/41/1) or [RPi Monitor](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/support-the-dietpi-project-donations-contribution/53/1) or [NetData](http://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5&start=60#p1611)

I personal prefer RPi Monitor for all my devices (NanoPi, OrangePi, Odroid, CubiTruck,…)
