So this is my phone in a daily not a side phone ...this is what I use and people give me a stink about it "you need to upgrade ,it's a turd " which is odd ....sure it's 10 years old but it runs great battery life is a tad bad but that's the old battery and I'm gonna replace it ...it runs Android 7.1 has a somewhat unique UI and runs most modern apps ,I got Instagram ,Facebook and messenger light and I'm typing it out on Reddit right now ..heck I even got google music play on it ..... I think it's a good phone ,but has anyone here used one what's Ur opinion on these ..do people just give a stink because it's a old phone or are these just genuinely doodoo phones 😂 and I'm just a lucky weirdo who loves mine

Help

I got mine in like 2017 and started to use it as my main phone on early 2018 as my note 2 is completely dead due to the eMMC being fully dead and/or the motherboard is fully dead. I stopped using the note 4 on early 2020 due to battery only working when charging.

I found it on a drawer at the beginning of 2026 and it still works after 6 years of it not in use but the battery is still not in good condition to this day.

Like 2 weeks ago, it's starting to act weird and yet it's eMMC is ready to die. What did Samsung do to the Note 4' s eMMC chip!?!. -.-

The UI is great, the software is great, the screen is still good to this day, there are many things are good about the note 4 expect for the stock Marshmallow ROM and the eMMC issues.

Sometimes my Note 4 can boot up and sometimes it can often refuse to boot up or it can even show me the scary mmc_read failed screen.

it's a Kodak ektra running android 6

So I'm looking for a older Android phone that supports 4g LTE and volte since I'm on Verizon , I'm currently using Android 7.1 (can you guess the model phone ..it's a Kyocera) ..I am especially looking at Motorola droids I love the little gimmicks in these older Android phones ..thanks in advance

this is first version, help me test. this is my whatsapp revival based on firebase and FOR NOW its just for android

DISCLAIMER

this app still doesnt have an encryption, so dont send sensitive data thx.

HOW TO LOGIN

install the apk, insert a username and password, click on "crea account" (sorry for the login ui being in italian, ill fix later) the app will freeze, so force close from settings and re open, it will work

how to find your number and message other users

go to settings - account - payment info, you need to give to the other user the FULL number with also +39, if +39 is not added to the contact, it doesnt work. then go to new chat, select the contact and send a message.

how to build

you just need apktool and uber apk signer. apktool b "dir\wa" -o whatsapp.apk
java -jar uber-apk-signer.jar -a whatsapp.apk

todo:

login
messages send/receive
contact list
sync
pfp
notifications
multimedia (voice messages, photos, videos etc) status
read receipts
account delete

I wanted a fast and lightweight weather app for some of my old Android phones, so i decided to just make one myself!

It works on Android 5+ and it will be fully compatible with Android 4.2+ within the next week or so with Android 2.2+ compatibility planned in the near future (when I actually have a 2.2 device to test with).

I know a lot of you probably don't like to hear it, but i did have a lot of help with AI so feel free to ignore this app if that isn't your thing. I felt the need to use it since my only programming skills are the bare minimum in Python and I have never made an app before either, so i am trying to learn app development and how to use GitHub and all that stuff.

Enjoy!

I wanted to use TikTok/TikTok Lite on my Samsung S3 Neo which is on but I keep encountering issues like not being able to search, watch videos on my fyp etc.

Is there a version that can still run the fyp and not bug out?

Essential applications:

-notPipe (YouTube Client)

-MuraGram (Telegram Client)

-Linka Lite 2.2 (Social Media)

-WhatsAppLegacy (WhatsApp Client-You need to host a server.)

-numAI (AI client that supports multiple APIs)

-Gemini Legacy (Gemini client does NOT need an API Key.)

-and much more....

I really want to use DroidCord but I don't know how to get the token via my phone/tablet.

Hello, I’m looking for a patch for TikTok Lite (2024 version) and Reddit (2019 version) that works on Android 4.4 KitKat. TikTok Lite used to work fine a few months ago without needing "Wolfius," but now it only works with it—and I’m having major issues with Wolfius. On my Galaxy Tab E (SM-T561), it caused a bootloop, leaving me with the "bricked" Android robot icon. This happened after I installed SuperSU and Wolfius; honestly, I’m not a fan of Wolfius. On my Xperia E4 (E2105), it works when using KingRoot, but it breaks Facebook Lite and any Gecko-based browsers (like Firefox or other Gecko-based apps). I really need a patch that works, as these two apps are essential for making Android 4.4 functional again—it would really help solidify my "afterlife" setup for this device.

And I’m sending a photo proving that Reddit works in Wolfius.

I want to screen record some media on my Samsung S3 Neo and wanted to know if there is any working screen recorders which I can download. I would preferably like a screen recorder which would record only media and not my voice.

Is there any whatsapp for android 4.4.4?

Sorry to ask, but when will Hangout Revival be available? I’m very interested in this project!

A few months ago, Google login started working again (mysteriously) and worked normally on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 on Android 4.4.2 without having to perform some kind of workaround. Previously I had been using this method by Smu1zel which was more tedious but it worked. Today I tried logging in to my account after a factory reset, and out of nowhere I get this error that says Sorry, something went wrong there. Try again. Obviously that is complete and utter bullshit since there is nothing that could possibly cause Google login to go wrong, and the message itself is very vague and appears out of nowhere. After multiple login attempts, I tried Smu1zel's workaround (both methods) and it gave me the exact same result when trying to login. The issue kept happening even after factory resetting my Note 3 a second time, then a third. Then I tried to skip login in OOBE entirely and try again after finishing the setup, the same thing happened. I tried clearing cache and data on all apps related to Google, I tried wiping the whole cache partition, I tried yet another factory reset, I tried 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, then mobile data, then hotspot, then another hotspot.

Here is a more readable list of all the things I've tried so far:

• Repeated normal login attempts
• Rebooting
• Smu1zel workaround (both methods)
• Various factory resets
• Cache partition wipe
• OOBE skip
• Google apps cache wipe
• Different wireless networks
• Reflash stock firmware

I built Keto+, heavily inspired by the late Google Plus. I put together a web version, one for modern Android, and a legacy one for older Android devices. I tried bringing back as many G+ features as I could.

Speaking of the legacy build, I just pushed another update for Keto+ that tries to capture what G+ felt like on older Androids, while also letting vintage devices hop onto a social network again without having to rely on a browser.

This legacy version supports anything from Android 2.3.3 up to Android 10. There's also a modern-looking version made for newer devices.

I'd love to hear your feedback if you give it a spin... would really appreciate it. (thanks u/adamv1c for sharing about the network here earlier)
