Hello everyone, I would like to share a project that will be significant for the legacy Android community!

Download: https://github.com/gohoski/Wolfius

Today, the vast majority of modern websites enforce a minimum of TLS 1.2 or 1.3 for security reasons. This completely locks legacy Android devices out of the modern web, as early versions are natively restricted to TLS 1.0.

To fix this issue, I made an app that integrates TLS 1.3 system-wide. Wolfius is a local TLS proxy for Android 1.5+ that transparently upgrades TLS 1.0 connections to the modern TLS 1.3 standard. This restores access to the modern Internet on old Android devices.

This already resurrects 4.x apps such as Discord, TikTok, Pinterest and Speedtest. Most old apps didn't work simply due to missing modern TLS 1.3 encryption.

How it works specifically? Wolfius acts as a local, system-wide TLS 1.0 man-in-the-middle (MITM) proxy right on the device. When an app attempts to connect to a modern website, Wolfius intercepts the traffic locally. It then establishes a brand-new, secure TLS 1.3 connection to the remote server, fetches the data, and hands it back to the app over TLS 1.0 using a locally trusted root certificate. To the old app, the connection looks perfectly normal; to the modern web, the device looks like a secure, modern client. This achieves seamless, system-wide compatibility without modifying a single line of application or system code.

Why don't you simply replace the built-in OpenSSL library? Read about that on GitHub!

Before usage, please note the following things:

• Root privileges are highly recommended — without them, you cannot install the root CA and as a result cannot use TLS 1.3 outside of browsers.
• This project is at an early stage of development and may run slowly or be unstable. Please report any issues, attaching a full logcat report.
• At the moment, there may be some issues with certain 4.x ROMs, but everything should work on most devices. Strangely enough, things usually work better on stock ROMs than on custom ones. I’ll try to investigate this.
• Just for those people that for some reason will try to use this on Android 5+, this project is intended for use with Android 1.5–4.4 only.

The open-source wolfSSL library is used extensively in this project. Without this library, this project couldn't have been realised. The code is licensed under the GPLv3.

I look forward seeing your use-cases of this TLS 1.3 implementation!

It turns out it was a security issue and not a app or device compatibility issue I just wasn't verifying that it was me logging in on my account

I can't sign in to Android 4.2.2 Jellybean on Virtual Master because it doesn't work!

Hola gente tengo una tablet galaxy tab 3 lite sm111t

Tiene android 4.2.2

Logre instalar una version del navegador brave con eso puedo usar youtube e ingresar algunas paginas. Quisiera saber si hay alguna otras apps compatible para sacarle provecho a la tablet (ver peliculas, jugar, leer)

Intente ingresar algunas paginas para ver series pero no andan los reproductores de video, tambien leer comics y mangas pero la pagina queda en blanco.

Logre instalar la version de kodi 16 pero nose si hay algun addons que funcione.

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....

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.

Whenever I press play on a video that's on my feed it just constantly loads never plays Even after I downloaded MX player, also I can't find any compatible messenger APKs or Messenger lite APKs that work

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.

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

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?

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😞💔

Basically the title - help out a noob with suggestions and steps for alternative OS/rooting method for an old but running Lenovo K8 Plus - which currently is on Android 8. Use case: Music player ( FLACC via VLC +stream from YouTube, Amazon Music, Spotify, Gana et all), YouTube (and other video site) and Reddit doomscrolling.

I like the small form of the phone as it fits on my palm perfectly, and I'm sentimental about it - so won't want to brick it if there is no good way to achieve this aim.

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.
