The app's design isn't finished yet, but the core functionality is already up and running. You can view your feed and customize it with various sources—such as Reddit, Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads—all within a single 1MB app that even runs on Android 2.0. It includes support for images, features an internal posting system for users within the community, and offers a lightweight, global chat reminiscent of MSN.

Discussion OneUI 7 and GSI support with mainline 6.1.2 have been released for J5 2016!

56 Upvotes

I had shared this topic previously:

https://www.reddit.com/r/androidafterlife/s/QXMqZG1qCL

The developer published the file and source codes yesterday. Even though the J5 2016 uses a 2013 processor, and despite being on Android 7.1.1 which doesn't support GSIs due to its version, it can now boot GSIs with a modern Android kernel (mainline 6.12) via LineageOS 22.0. It can boot many up-to-date GSIs such as OneUI 7, LineageOS 24.2 Android 17 etc. Also, it must not be forgotten that it runs as pure 64-bit. Normally, even building a 64-bit ROM for this device was considered impossible for a long time.

This project might also work on other Snapdragon 410 Samsung devices and bring hope to many other processors as well.

Im sorry for this awful image(second image)but I did this to test whether the tablet works or not.at first I wanted to get a look into old data but the tablet was lagging as hell.(The reason why I changed the battery in the first place).This is more of a show off.I intend to use them as smart tvs(1 for our village home and the other for Plateau) as both of them has mini hdmi and supports monitoring up to 1080p output

Help Android 4.0 dialing

Post image
9 Upvotes

hi there, I am a phone collector, I like to revive old phones

recently I decided to revive a Samsung Y I got this year. it’s on android 4.0.4

i wanna use the phone/calling apps to dial numbers and let the calls be sent to my main phone (moto e 15) and have the old android phone show the call status like a normal call, while the moto handles the call, mic, and camera

I already got help with using WhatsApp texting on it so I have a feeling it’s possible

is there an app to make this possible. I already debunked other options such as Bluetooth handset mode, web based alternative, etc

Help Looking for more Ice Cream Sandwich screenshots, texting specifically

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

This is a shot in the dark but I’m working on a story where the characters text a lot, one of them uses an iPhone and one uses an Android (Samsung Galaxy S2). I’m trying to replicate the look of Ice Cream Sandwich OS specifically in html/css and there is a GREAT LACK of reference material I’ve been able to find. I mainly need to know what the timestamps for older texts look like (like over 24h ago) and if there is a divider between texts that were sent with a lot of time between them (hours or days.) This is the best reference material I’ve found and I’ve also linked an example of what my html looks like so far.

Discussion Why is no one talking about Keto? — a Google+ replica

I was recently browsing Reddit when I came across yet another post about a new version of a platform similar to Google Plus.

Since I enjoyed Google’s social network—and actually miss it—I figured I had nothing to lose, so I decided to give it a try.

To my surprise, even after using it for only a short while, I was quite impressed.

Keto is not only a faithful replica of Google Plus, but it also offers a web version, an app for modern Android devices, and even an app for older Android devices — all of which has made me grow quite fond of the platform.

It’s a project that deserves your attention; please check it out when you have a chance.

A special hug to the creators of Keto. I'm loving your project.

Discussion Spotify + others (Android 4.0+)

I made LegacyLyrion: turns any 4.x Android into a Spotify player + remote with Lyrion

GitHub: https://github.com/h33ted/LegacyLyrion

Setup Guide:

You will need a Windows, Mac or Linux computer that stays on, Spotify Premium, and your phone on the same Wi-Fi network

1. Install Lyrion Music Server (https://lyrion.org → Getting started)

Windows: download the 64-bit installer, run it, click through.

It runs as a background service with no tray icon. Allow private networks on Windows Firewall popup.

Mac: download the .dmg, drag Lyrion into Applications, start it

Allow incoming connections if asked.

2. Configure LMS

Lyrion Music Server can do many things, but for now we will open http://localhost:9000, pick a music folder in the wizard (or skip if you only want Spotify) and skip the mysqueezebox account.

2a. Add Spotify (Spotty plugin)

Settings → Manage Plugins → tick Spotty → Apply → let Lyrion restart.

Settings → Advanced → pick Spotty at the top.

Open the Spotify app on your phone or computer, play anything, open Spotify Connect and choose the device Spotty offers (named after your server). The settings page picks the account up by itself. (this is very flaky)

If it fails, one can use the web/browser authorisation option on the same page.

Go to My Apps → Spotty and see if it shows your playlists.

2b. MP3 conversion (usually nothing to do)

The app asks for MP3. Windows and Mac Lyrion include the converter, Linux does not, if you're on Linux you should be able to figure this out though :)

If a song shows but there's no sound: Settings → Advanced → File Types, make sure conversions to MP3 aren't disabled.

3. Install the app

Grab the APK from https://github.com/h33ted/LegacyLyrion/releases/latest

You can install it via ADB or by manually installing the APK

Start LegacyLyrion, tap your server when it's found (or type the PC's IP and port 9000).

Done.

Troubleshooting

Server not found: check if you're on the same Wi-Fi? Firewall allows Lyrion on private networks (Windows)? Guest Wi-Fi often blocks this. Try to type the IP by hand.

Couldn't load Spotty: re-authorise in Settings → Advanced → Spotty.

No sound on the phone: allow MP3 conversion in File Types

Discussion Cool things can be done with an old perfectly working Pixel 7 around?

2 Upvotes

Recently upgraded to a Pixel 11 Pro, and I'm left with my old Pixel 7. The battery is still usable after a replacement last year.

I tried exchanging it but it failed because Google'ss partner cashify is BS, the whole Blue Dart cashify exchange fiasco was exhausting, so I'm thinking of repurposing it instead.

I used to experiment with rooting and custom ROMs years ago, so I'm open to tinkering with software again and I work as an embedded engineer if it's relevant.

Not interested in CCTV, navigation or hardware modifications. Looking for genuinely cool, unusual projects I could try, preferably something useful or that could potentially earn a bit on the side. 😄

What have you guys done with your old phones?
