Need Drivers for Linux Mint Cinnamon 18 on HI12

[Destry]

I have installed Linux Mint Cinnamon 18 on My HI12 tablet and did so with a full format of the drive. Works fine except no wifi, sound, bluetooth, and no touch screen.

Network adapter is Realtek RTL8723BS Wireless Lan 802.11n SDIO Network Adapter.

No idea of the identification of the other devices.

Here is my info on it~

Got wifi working!

sudo apt-get -y install git

cd
git clone https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs.git
cd rtl8723bs
make
sudo make install
sudo reboot

then went into Bios: Bios/ South Bridge/ LPSS & SCC CONFIGURATION/ SCC SDIO Support = changed acpi to PCI then saved and exit. After reboot, wifi working! Connected and online!
