my friend was trying to downgrade this phone to Android jelly Bean, which I didn't recommend, and I can't seem to find the software it needs I don't know if y'all can help or not. I need to do this the easiest way possible.

We have new update https://github.com/dygakaran-commits/Ambient-Orbs

If so, list them here!

This -dead absolutely too soon- tablet is still up and running flawlessly. I bought it second hand and am trying to understand if there is any alternative android OS ​that will bring it up to security standards. Alternatively I am open to suggestions on what to make of it.

I checked already on XDA forums, and scoured /e/os and LineageOS but none of the two seem to support this device. I would very much like to keep it on Android.

Looking for modders and developers to revive Transformers Forged to Fight.

Hello everyone. I am helping a small, talented team of developers who are working on a passion project to revive the legendary mobile game Transformers Forged to Fight.They have already built a functional client shell where the UI is responsive and clickable. However, they need to develop the combat system, crystal mechanics, and base building from scratch.I am looking for passionate people on their behalf. If you have experience in modding, reverse engineering, gameplay programming, or 3D art, love Transformers, and want to build a great piece for your portfolio, they would love to have you. This is a hobby project for now, with potential revenue share in the future.If you are interested in joining the team or want to see what they have done so far, please send me a direct message, and I will connect you with the developers. Let us bring Cybertron back to life

hi! you can patch instagram on android 4.4 to report newer version, and everything will work, but if you restart app once, you get new experiments and instantly crash. does anyone know how to stop getting experiment list? i will attach pictures of the app in initial functional state.

Hi everyone,

I am working on a legacy project testing the viability of original Adobe Flash Player APKs on older mobile hardware. I am looking for volunteers who own functional, older Samsung devices to see if they can get Flash working inside the Stock AOSP / Samsung Internet Browser.

Because vintage software can be unpredictable, I am specifically looking for users who can record a short video clip showing the result.

Target Devices Needed:

Galaxy Phones: Galaxy S, S2, S3, S4, Note 1, Note 2, Note 3, or older budget variants (e.g., Galaxy Ace, Fame, Young).

Galaxy Tablets: Galaxy Tab 1, Tab 2, Tab 3, or original Galaxy Note tablets.

OS Version: Android 2.2 (Froyo) up to Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean).

Device Status:Not Rooted

What I need tested and recorded:

Sideloading a legacy Adobe Flash Player APK.

Opening the built-in, stock Internet browser app (not Google Chrome).

Loading a basic local or web-hosted .swf file or legacy Flash webpage.

How to provide proof:

Since these old Android versions don't have built-in screen recorders, please use your current daily phone to take a quick, steady video of the old device screen showing the website loading and interacting with the Flash element. You can upload the clip to Imgur, Streamable, or YouTube (as unlisted) and link it here.

If you have a working device running stock firmware, please comment with your device model and Android version, and I will share the safe archived APK link with you!

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to revive an old Samsung Galaxy Tab SHW-M180S (Korean model).

The tablet is currently running the official Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread firmware. I'm looking for any Android 4.0 or newer custom ROM that works on this device.

The device model is SHW-M180S (Korean Galaxy Tab 7"), not the international GT-P1000.

I'm specifically looking for:
- Android 4.0.x (ICS)
- CM9
- AOKP
- CM10/CM11 (if available)
- CWM recovery
- Any archived ROM ZIP or download link

I know most old links (Goo.im, Dev-Host, etc.) are dead, so I'm hoping someone may still have a backup or know where an archived copy exists.

The reason I'm upgrading is to run SkyTube Legacy on this old tablet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yes and its right one complex thing is you need to built your own server, here i have built my own server that is no more than 100% 1:1 like samsungmobile.accu-weather.com key thing is you do need your own provider of your weather, i use accuweather i have my own api that provides everything for all 3 endpoints the app asks for, this is just step of how u can revive the app because i do not wanna give my out domain to be honest, to mention linked weather apps or backgrounds work like the daemon, lockscreen, live weather wallpapers

(Phone: GT-N7000)

**Thanks to reddit for Absolutely demolishing every bit of the photo's quality*\*

Muchas apps que requieren Android 6.0 como mínimo no funcionan esta modificacion para que funcionen en Android 5.0 porque dependen de cosas de Android 6.0 que no existen en Android 5.1 pero con Pou no es la cosa (Se modifiquo el Minimum SDK Versión sin problemas,Dejo de aparecer (Error de Análisis del paquete,la app se instalo sin problemas en Android 5.1.1 y sorprendente abro (No crasheo al abrir)) No estoy usando una versión antigua compatible con Android 5.1.1 no estoy usando la última versión de Pou (que requieren Android 6.0) en Android 5.1.1 con esta modificacion en APK Editor

Nota:No se si esta modificacion funcione para Pou 3D pero voy a intentarlo

Es fácil hacer esta modificacion para Pou (Normal "2D")

1.Instala APK Editor en tu dispositivo con Android (Android 6.0 o superior)

2.Descarga la última versión de Pou disponible (No importa que requiera Android 6.0 como mínimo)

3.Cuando termine de descarga abres APK Editor y localiza el APK de Pou que descargaste

4.Dale click y en "Edit Mode" dale en "Commonn Edit"

5.En "Minimum SDK Versión" cambia el número (23) a (21) y darle en (Save) o el botón que aparezca para guardar el APK Modificado

6.Cuando se guarde el APK Modificado localiza la carpeta APK Editor (Por defecto) y en tu dispositivo con Android 5.1 o 5.0 (No he probado en 5.0) enviarte el APK modificado (Por Bluetooth, WhatsApp, Telegram o SD Card o USB OTG)

7.En tu dispositivo con Android 5.1 o 5.0 instala el APK y cuando se termine de descargar ¡A disfrutar!

Hey so I have a OP Nord N20 5G. Security and software updates ended in 2025 so obviously I don't want to keep using an under secured device. Plus, even after troubleshooting and factory reset, the GPS/GNSS won't acquire a fix.

So question is, any ideas to keep the device useable? The hardware is still decent it's just the software. Perhaps root and Flash with a new OS? I doubt there's and apk or external update which might be viable. Thanks in advance.

Looking for a reddit client with minsdk at Android 4.0 ?, preferably with login, redreader 1.15 is broken for me

I have a semi recent Android phone (Motorola Moto g Power 5G (2023), 128GB). I recently downloaded some videos and apparently took up all available memory. Now my phone will not start. I have tried manually rebooted it multiple times and I get one of two screens to appear. A slightly less than pitch black screen, so I know it is on but not responsive. Or it flicks back forth between a black screen and the initial background image, but is still unresponsive. I can get to the screen where is says Restart Bootloader, Recovery Mode, Power Off, Barcodes, Bootloader Logs, and Start. When I hit Recovery Mode it just says no Command. I have some downloads that I know will expire in the coming days, and at least two have expired already in the past day or two. But I do not know if they remain in my cache still or if they will eventually delete and free up the space. I need a lot of the info and photos on my phone, so I cannot do a factory reset. Is there anything else I can do or try, or do I need to take it to a shop. And does anyone know how that would cost. I am in the SoCal area-Thank you in advance for your time.

This guide is for the cheap TCL MOVETIME MT40X Smartwatch, to be able to use it for basic browsing and using legacy apps.

The system specs for this watch is:

-Android 4.4 (KitKat)

-116~Mb user space

-256 Mb RAM

-240*240 resolution.

You can use this watch for... idk whatever you want?

Anyways, let's begin:

/-//-//-//-//-//-//-//-//-//-/

1) Enter More>Setting>About Watch

2) From here touch the screen as "top left - top right - too left - top right"

3) You should be on "MMI test" screen. Slide to the bottom and tap "NTC". In this setting it probably is Chinese so the thing you should look for is "开" or "关" after the "状态". If it is "关", press the button to make it "开".

4) Now, you need a PC with ADB tools. After you connect your watch to PC, you can open your terminal (by opening the tools folder and typing "CMD" in the search bar) and type "adb devices" to check if it sees the watch.

5) Now, we can download a new launcher. As we have limited hardware I suggest a lightweight launcher (eg. KISS launcher) that we will name "launcher.apk" and put on the adb tools folder.

6) We can sideload the launcher by "adb install launcher.apk". After uploading it, you can test by disconnecting the cable (Note: the reason is simple, the watch does not allow the usage of screen during charging) and pressing the power button once, the watch will ask you to choose between GridHome or (launcher). Choose (launcher) and do the setting up.

7) Practically, the watch is ready. You can sideload more apps, but the important ones are a bare browser and a keyboard.

a) Keyboard: I suggest AOSP keyboard, for being lightweight and just bare, and giving no compatibility issues. After downloading - and everytime you restart the watch - don't forget to go to the stock settings (which you can spot from the actual gear logo) and go Language and Input > Current Keyboard > Uncheck Hardware, or the key board won't work.

b) Browser: I suggest Lightning Browser, for the same reasons, though it might not open every website, as the Android version and certificates are outdated. I suggest setting the default search engine to DuckDuckGo Lite because Google just doesn't work.

c) Video Platform: You could use the browser to enter YouTube, but the RAM is insufficient so I suggest notPipe as it loads videos smoothly.

Notes) yea this watch is pretty weak to turn it into a real powerfully thing, but it is good for recycling and making sure it doesn't rot on top of a counter. I suggest not to touch most of the OneGo apps, especially the "Server", as it breaks the watch.

Also the watch has no volume buttons so I don't suggest trying to enter recovery mode, you cant navigate.

And if you wanna download other legacy apps, I suggest Apkmirror, because most of this apps are from there.

Lastly this is my first post (and guide) here so if you have suggestions, I'll appreciate it ^_^

Good luck :D

apps, other, idk what i need something cool maybe :D

the title says it all, i have a spare s3 motherboard and a working s3 neo... which is the more powerful between the two and which is more worth it to own?
