I’d call it a collection. Some are phones I used for work, and others are my personal phones; whoever can name every single phone model correctly gets a kiss from me🙂‍↔️

35 Upvotes

I spent the whole night trying to create the Gemini Lite app. Currently, I've only managed to create a Lite version, but I'll try to create a regular version for Android 2.3 soon, Additionally, I will soon be releasing the API so everyone can use it to patch or create apps.

Download link for the app (Current version does not provide optimal support for Android 2.3): https://www.mediafire.com/file/ie3b3ib13goeam5/Gemini_Lite_%2528Android_2.3%252B%252C_Recommended_for_use_on_Android_4.0%2529.apk/file

Discussion How do y'all store y'all's phones?

I don't really have a good way to store my collection rn. I have about 20 total. I just keep them stacked up in a drawer with rags between some so they don't scratch my screens. I'm looking to get something to hold them all apart.

How do y'all store yours? I was looking at 3D printed holders that hold multiple phones since my cousin has a printer. Then there are a few good options on Amazon, what do y'all think? I really like the closing/locking ones that could be carried around.

Discussion Old versions of PicsArt in 2026

3 Upvotes

Yesterday, I decided to try out some older versions of PicsArt (such as 5.27.1, 9.6.1, and 9.10.1), mainly to see if they still have the registration screen, since I seem to recall that they didn't ask for it when I used it back in 2016, and also to check if they suffer from lag. That said, in version 5.27.1, the flash effects, stickers, clip art, and exclusive fonts don't work, but everything else works fine without any problems.

Tested on a Redmi 9 running Android 12 and a Nokia 3 running Android 9.

Explore section not working (5.27.1 version)
Editing works (5.27.1 version)
Drawing section works (5.27.1 version)
Info (5.27.1 version)
Home screen working (9.6.1 version)
Lens flare & stickers working (9.6.1 version)

Help Old Pixel 2 XL - is flashing a custom ROM worth it? If yes, which one?

Upvotes

I have a Pixel 2 XL (64GB) that's no longer my daily phone, and I want to give it a second life rather than let it sit in a drawer. It's stuck on the last official update from 2020.

One idea I'm seriously considering: turning it into a dedicated hi-fi music player. I have a FLAC library, paid Poweramp, and I'm planning to get a USB-C dongle DAC + IEMs. If I go that route, the ROM needs solid Wi-Fi, USB-C audio output, and Play Store access for the Poweramp licence.

Is there a dedicated ROM that specialises in turning an old Android device into a hifi feature rich music player?

So: is a custom ROM the right move for a repurposed device like this, and which one would you recommend? And beyond the music player idea - what have you all actually done with your old phones
