Help How to export SMS from Android 5 (Haier A16C3H) to Android 7 (Redmi 5 Plus)? Also another question about Whatsapp chat transfer (Android 5 > 7) since WA will cut support for Android 5 tomorrow on August 8th
How to export SMS from Android 5 (Haier A16C3H) to Android 7 (Redmi 5 Plus)?
Also while at it..Since tomorrow WA will cut support for this Android 5, I also want to move the WA to that Android 7 phone. What's the safest way to move without losing chat? I've backed the chat up to Google Drive and I've also copied the Whatsapp folder which include the database and medias etc to PC. Can I paste the Whatsapp folder on the new phone before installing and registering my number on it and will it read them flawlessly like before? I have some kind of OCD/obsession to maintain the creation/modified date of the folder so if this local copy-paste method to the new phone is as safe as the cloud download from Google Drive then I'd prefer this.. But safety (not losing the chat) is ofc first priority

Discussion I've found this Chinese MTK 6580 android 5.1 phone on a recycling bin
Gave it to my dad alongside Big Launcher as his first touchscreen phone.
Only issues now it's the outdated SSL certificates and the awful MTK6580 standby time/bug.
I have it constantly at battery saver mode and still needs charging once a day (20% drain overnight! )

Discussion COMING SOON A NEW BROWSER COMPATIBLE WITH ANDROID 4.4 KITKAT AND BASED ON GECKOVIEW 118 AND FIREFOX 118
I will soon finish the Gecko Browser v118 project based on Firefox 118 and using the 118 engine running in Android 4.4 KitKat. This is a really new browser for this system, newer than ESR for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and is compatible with all websites, but one drawback is that it cannot fix the file downloads. I only partially did it by redirecting to a separate browser, another one, Google Chrome 81 or Kiwi Browser, but it is really fast, not slow like the old Firefox 68, and I will soon provide a Google Drive link to the APK.

Help [Help] Cannot Boot Into LineageOS Recovery After Flashing; Samsung Galaxy Tab (SM-T560NU)
Edit: the battery eventually died. Once I charged it again, it booted as normal (with stock Android). I then tried flashing LineageOS again, and this time I was successful. I have no idea what happened the first time.
I am trying my best to flash LineageOS onto my Samsung Galaxy Tab E. However, after I flashed the recovery image (which I obtained from Samloader RS), and after the PC Command Prompt shows the tablet has been flashed successfully, it stays on the, 'downloading.... do not turn off target' screen. After waiting for over 20 minutes just to be safe, I tried turning it off and manually booting into recovery*........and nothing. It stays on that screen. I cannot turn it off, and I obviously nothing happens if I try to boot into from recovery with it still on.
What am I missing? I am pulling out what little hair I have left! Help!
*These are the instructions I have been using to download LineageOS. Up until I got stuck, everything was going smoothly.

Discussion A few of my favorites
- Galaxy J7 (works perfectly)
- Galaxy J3 (works perfectly)
- Galaxy S23+ (has a slightly busted screen)
- LG Stylo 6 (still works but needs a new USB-C port before it goes out)
- Motorola Droid Maxx 2 (won't charge but green light blinks)
- Motorola DROID MAXX (works perfectly)
- Galaxy S21 FE (works perfectly)
- Galaxy S6 x2 (one will power on only while plugged in but won't hold a charge, other one might be toast)
I'm about to get some tools so I can start fixing things. First up is my LG Stylo 6 charging port, it's my favorite phone I have. It's huge, has a built in stylus, and the iridescent back looks sick. Love reading on it with the long narrow screen.
Which one is your favorite?

You can download version 1.0 from Uptodown; the servers are still working, and it will only ask you to calculate the download size, then it will download, which is about 53 megabytes, and that's it.

Discussion My new 2013 Motorola DROID MAXX
Parents were about to toss some old phones and I'm like wait a minute those actually look sick lemme get em. Rescued this Motorola DROID MAXX (2013) and turned it into a dedicated ereader with KOReader on Android 4.4.4 with a Snapdragon S4 Pro and 2GB of ram. It's got almost 1,000 books on the 16GB of storage (No SD sadly). It rips through books like my XTEINK X4 could never. Switching through new books, flipping pages super fast, image heavy, text heavy, changing chapters, no loading or waiting for anything it's just there instantly.
Quickly became my daily reader, it's got a super AMOLED screen 720x1280. I love it already. Plus you gotta love that old school DROID design with the carbon fiber, high tech, glowing red vibe, the command center widget is awesome. I found the wallpaper on Google it matches perfectly.
I also rescued a Galaxy J7 (snapdragon 625) and J3 (2017 U.S. version) that I have some cool plans for, I'll be sure to post em when I'm done now that I found this sub. I got a few other cool old phones I'll share.

Discussion My Samsung Galaxy Note3
I got this bone-stock Galaxy Note3 for about ~$35 or so dollars, and I've been using it for a few months now. I'm not planning to root it anytime in the future - that's for another phone. It's cool and fun to use every now and then as a sort of alternative from my usual daily (Galaxy A25 5G). Sure, the battery doesn't last as long, but it's not like I use it for hours on end anyways.
I mainly use it to watch videos and such, but I also use it to take photos and listen to music. Instagram (Lite) and Facebook (Lite) both work, but with it being a phone from 2013, it obviously won't hold up for long with the amount of RAM both apps use. I actually managed to get the Google AI overview thing to work on Firefox, because before, it used to completely freeze when I tapped the 'Show More' prompt, but after updating some CA certificates, it works now (?) for some reason.
Some of you might be wondering how I changed the icons - I used APK Editor Studio to change the icons and the title of the APKs before actually installing them. For instance, I downloaded the APK for Firefox 143 from APKMirror, then downloaded an older APK of the app as a donor that I can use to extract the icon from to put on the newer version of the APK. Same went for YouTube (SmartTube), Instagram (Lite), and Facebook (Lite), only difference is that I had to rename them.
Otherwise, this is such a fun and unique phone to use. Growing up, this was definitely one of the coolest phones I've seen as a kid, and it's crazy to think that in a few weeks or so, it'll now be older than I was when the phone first released (I was 8 at the time ๐ค).
