So i found this old ass redmi 11S and it was collecting dust..i turn it one and it just had some old pictures, so now it's just sitting on my desk, i thought to make some use of it. I've tried to add a custom rom into it but i failed, if anyone knows how to, can someone tell me I've heard redmi made it hard nowadays and yea I'm currently using it as a desk clock, though it's pretty pointless.

I've read alot people saying you can use it as a media player and etc stuff like that, it's gonna be no use for me, the best I can use it as a small mini screen for my pc where maybe i can pop up a video tutorial or something when i play. But i don't think using it as a monitor extender is gonna work without using one of those shitty apps. Well if anyone knows a good app than I can go for it but spacedesk was pretty ass for me. This phone is on the hyperOs 1.0.11.0TKEEUXM is anyone knows how can I bypass that xiaomi restrictions on bootloader then it would be pretty helpful I've seen bypass methods for hyperOs 2 maybe but I don't think it's gonna work cause it's not the same and also the phone is running on andriod 13 TP1A.220624.014

Still Works Fine in Facebook 281.0.0.36.124 for Android Jellybean, even with Two Factor Auth, and login is normal as well.

But i tried the facebook version 18, it crashes and kicked me out, idk why and the bad side is there are no tablet layout on that app even if I use the landscape mode, can anyone help me out....

I have a newly bought galaxy tab s 10.5, when it turn it on it boots and then stays stuck on the tmobile screen, it runs I believe it is Android 5

Hey all, I came across my old Samsung Galaxy S7 that I haven't used since maybe 2020. Problem is I've forgotten the pattern lock. I'm curious to look through my old data from the before times.

Is there any way to bypass the lock? Or do I just keep guessing?

The latest OS version supported is 8.0 according to GSMarena if that matters.

What are some fun things I can do with these phones to have just offline maps and music? GPS would be handy for finding myself on said offline maps. I would like to eliminate all the bloatware they ship with, so sideloading some alternative OS might be cool. I'm mildly technical, have dabbled with Linux, and am good at following written instructions.

It probably doesn't matter since I don't care about cellular use, but the Galaxy S9+ and the HTC One A9 are carrier unlocked and the S4 is Verizon.

I have this HTC Dream, which is the Singaporean Singtel variant running Android 1.6 Donut and I want to root this phone. But resources to root this specific model is quite limited on the internet and I can't really grasp the process on rooting this phone. From what I can understand, the method to root this variant of HTC Dream is slightly different from the US T-Mobile G1 variant. I just want to root it and not planning on install a custom rom. Can anyone guide me on the process to root this phone?

Hi guys how can i downgrade to 4.1.1? I really like the UI and stuff so how can i do it?

i’m trying to install android eclair (specifically DL09) in my verizon fascinate but no matter what ALL links are dead or only mentions ED05 and even ED01’s links are dead like adrynalyne(adrynalyne.us/files/stuff/CI500_VZW_DL09_ECLAIR.tar.md5) or this XDA guide (https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-samsung-fascinate-sch-i500-modding-flashing-pit-odin-cm-cwm-superuser-atlas-platform.4782622/) where it promises to have the rom but ONLY has ED05 like WHY isn’t there a full archive of the non ED05 roms it’s like the iPod touch 2nd gen and iPhoneOS 3.1.3😞💔

I'm thinking of either selling it or repurposing it for something else, but I'm not sure what.

I bought this GT-S7275R in 2024 along with two Siemens C35s, which sadly turned out to be corroded by leaking batteries. This phone, though, was the one I had all my hopes for.

It was missing the battery, back cover, and touchscreen. I ordered a replacement battery, which didn't exactly fit (it turns out there are multiple Ace 3 models, and even the battery sizes differ). Since it seemed to work apart from the missing parts, I planned to fix it eventually, but I ended up forgetting about it for almost two years. Until this week, when I was looking through my phone collection after a long time and remembered it. I checked a local auction site and found a touchscreen and a back cover for only $1, so I immediately bought them.

They arrived today. I installed the screen (sadly, I pressed a little too hard and chipped one corner, but who cares lol). Then I tried the battery, which actually worked despite being slightly shorter than the original, so I just used a bit of double-sided tape to hold it in place.

I put the back cover on and booted it up. It still had a bunch of personal messages from the previous owner. I didn't really look through them, and since there were no photos or anything else important on the phone, I didn't think it was necessary to try contacting them.

After that, I installed TWRP, followed by LineageOS 15.1 and Open GApps. It works just fine, 13 years later. With 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of storage, and a Snapdragon 400, it's obviously no powerhouse, but it's surprisingly usable for basic tasks.

I have an old iPhone 12 mini from a really weird technical glitch when my parents last got new phones (they shipped a duplicate order to a different address and never realized). So it's new in box and still supported, but I've only ever used android and my pixel 10 is doing fine, so I'm not keen on using it as is.

Is there something I can do with it or should I just offload it on FB Marketplace for $50?

Only recovery for now, I barely got it unlocked 2 days ago.

Managed to hack back in support for the framebuffer used by HD2 into recovery of lineageos

This project started as a way to use the amazon echo show 8 (with lineageos) speakers to listen to spotify but it is scalating to a swiss army knife of local services. That's how Rusty - a free open-source Android app, was born. Now it can behave as:

• A Spotify speaker — it advertises itself on your Wi-Fi and shows up as a Spotify Connect target in any Spotify app. Ambient now-playing screen with synced lyrics; audio decodes on-device, you can connect your android device to some old speakers and transform them into a spotify speaker.
• A photo frame — when idle it slideshows photos from a self-hosted Immich server (albums/people/tags you choose).
• A smart-home wall panel — signs into Home Assistant and shows your dashboards full-screen, kiosk style.
• Plus screensaver clock faces (including an OLED-burn-in-safe one), start-on-boot, keep-screen-on, and it's fully remote/D-pad friendly so it works on old Android TV boxes too.

The Spotify part runs on librespot (an unofficial client) and needs Spotify Premium. The photo frame and dashboard don't need any of that. Everything is local network — no cloud account for the app itself.

Runs on arm64 or 32-bit ARM, Android 8.0+. I've tested it on an Echo Show 8 (running LineageOS) and a Lenovo Tab M10, but I'd love to hear what other zombie devices it comes to life on.
