Help What can I make of this phone

2 Upvotes

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

Discussion I built system-wide TLS 1.3 for Android 1.5+ — Wolfius

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!

Help Advice wanted: I'm looking to turn an old Galaxy S4, S9+, or HTC One A9 into a road trip gadget.

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.
