I have some nostalgia for when they introduced the appstore. Aaaand that's where the nice things I have to say end.
Have a Z flip 5 which has the same soc as the s23 and I super love it! If you don't end up loving oneui you can always customize the heck out of it with samsung theme park or (third party) hex installer.
Currently typing this on my flip 5 connected to an external display via hdmi. This didn't work on the previous generations. Only on the fold. There is no toggle for dex which is exceptionally dissapointing. Does anyone know if you can launch it via adb?
I thought this post was satirical at first before I realized they were a real company š
I only own a switch to buy nintendo games to play them on my steam deck as I'd rather not pirate them if I have the option to pay for them.
So far I have tried a USB stick, a Linux storage gadget, and 2 micro SD cards. Both the USB and emulated storage device booted to the logo then a black screen where the fan spun down then sat there for 3 hours before I tried something else. The weird thing about both the micro sd's is that after booting them once the deck no longer recognises them as bootable drives. I have to reflash the recovery image before I can boot to it again. One of the cards (cheap nameless 16 gig) booted to the logo and sat there for several hours and the other (1TB Sandisk) booted to the logo then a black screen and is still sitting here 2 hours later.
Edit: leaving the 1TB overnight got as far as the touchpads vibrating when touched.
I wonder if we could use lspatch (or similar) to hook in and change that. I might have a project ahead of me. We'll see.
No idea if this would he possible but my starting idea here is using a server of some sort to grab the firebase notifications and push them all over one webocket similar to GMS. What I don't know is how registering apps works. I know from micro g they register themselves to receive notifications but I'm not sure of what data is actually given to micro g or the relationship between the app and micro g/the web socket.
I will have to look at how that works. Maybe I can run a server on a computer to push to ntfy.
I have a us Samsung phone so I an unable to root and replace GMS with micro g. Would it he possible to patch apps (with lspatch for example) to use another app for push notifications? Firebase notifications are the only reason I have GMS at all still.
MMMMmmmmm yeah scoped storage was the worst decision ever. WHERE ARE YOU PUTTING EVERYTHING?!?!
I'v been trying to self host bitwarden but I keep running into error after error. Mostly with nginx š
Just switched from Google photos to photoprism. It's pretty awesome! It only took 8 hours to index and label my 17500~ photos (not including the week and a half Google Takeout took). That was the big one for me. Not I am slowly working through all my other google/centralized services and seeing if there are self hosted or decentralized alternatives.
lividhen @kbin.social Yahaha! You found me! I enjoy modding various electronics, particularly ones that have reached their EOL, breathing new life into them.
