I usually sell them or if they’re not desirable I either use as a pocket computer (I do tons of stuff) or give away to someone who wants to learn.

I’m not a developer so making my own build is not happening.

 

There are some builds here or there posted on XDA, but they all have dead links. I’m still looking around to see if the files can be found on any live hosts, but if anyone has the files to custom ROM any of these… they’re decent hardware and shouldn’t have to be tossed in the ground just because the manufacturers are too greedy to give new Android versions for them.

The D415 is already rooted; none of the others have had any mods done yet. I’m hoping to find potentially a decent build of maybe CyanogenMod, Lineage, Havoc, Pixel, or any of the other quality builds.

I already ran the Droid bootloader code check and Motorola’s site says this one is not eligible to be unlocked. Must have been the typical control-freak contract that Verizon usually does. I guess at that time they wanted to nickel and dime every bit they could with this model. Quite a few Verizon phones were able to be unlocked, though, so with that unit there still could be a possibility. I’m not expecting so, though.

I'm working with limited battery duration but Launchy would be immensely useful for my home screens. I don't want to use it, though, if it is heavy on the battery.

There’s an illustration! Did you see the illustration???

We need some brave souls to start murdering billionaires. Then tell them all they need to start giving away their riches or die. It’s that simple. That’s THE ONLY measure that will change things.

There’s nothing conspiracy theory about this. This is common sense and 100% accurate. And it’s not exactly capitalism to blame, but unrestrained capitalism. It’s a fairly good system but needs limits, which it doesn’t currently have.

As Churchill said, “Capitalism is the worst system, except for all the others.” - paraphrasing.

OK I hear ya. I think like anything, a low-quality, low-effort, low-cost product will appeal to a certain demographic, and there will be no shortage of bottom-feeders who will peddle it for a buck.

I don’t understand the odd jump to teenagers on Deviantart. You sound like you have an axe to grind.

I don’t know why you attribute to the deviantart community the status of teenagers, and I also don’t know why you think that there aren’t talented and seasoned artists all over the world making beautiful expressions in a diverse spectrum of media.

Are you bitter about something? I don’t like AI art whatsoever and I don’t think it deserves to be called art. It’s sewage. I also think that individuals who like that crap distinguish themselves as unsophisticated and dumb. I think most people with taste feel this way. So what’s got you worried?

Wow this is actually happening? The country really seems more and more all the time like we are going to end up two separate nations. The U.S.A. and Gilead.

Also, yeah, these fossils have less than no tech knowledge to think anything can get in the way of porn when someone wants it. What a fucking joke. These are our political representatives hard at work. Probably actually HARD at work. The dumbest sampling of humanity.

 

I want to scan specified range. I don't want something that just scans the default network. I'm trying to scan a subnet on a VPN I'm connected to. Would love something like Angry Scanner.

 

Hey all, Is it particularly unhealthy to snack on powdered drink mix? The kind that’s just garbage chemicals and artificial flavors. I drink TONS of water every day because I take a lot of medication so I have always drank a lot of water. I pee like 10x a day and it’s very clear so I know I’m getting plenty. That being divulged, we have this powdered drink mix and I like touching the pouch opening to my tongue and sucking on the powder a little bit at a time. It’s tasty and no calories to speak of. I know it’s junk but it keeps me from snacking on junk food. I just wonder if it’s particularly unhealthy to do.

 

The ones on XDA have dead links or have no workable instructions. Anyone have a complete repository with proper insructions? My T220 was very affordable but honestly, it's brutally slow. OneUI is too heavy for these resources. I don't want Lineage, since it does not allow moving apps to SD.

A solid generic Android with Root would be just ((((chef's kiss)))).

The device already has Developer options set to allow OEM unlocking and I have adb etc. on PC.

I hope someone has something good for me. Thanks.

 

Adding fonts to an OS is ancient, so it is baffling to me to have such trouble finding any resources on how to add my fonts to Android. How many fundamentals do they have to turn decades backward?

Hi all,

So, what I need is a utility that will allow me to select any of my installed apps, and it will parse all installed icon packs and display all icons it finds for said app, and display them labeled with their respective pack names.

 

Hey all, I have been trying to revitalize a Galaxy S5. I installed Lineage 17 and while the performance is AMAZING and I mean that seriously, I can't figure out how to root. I got Magisk, but it's asking me to patch a file. I don't know what now. Prior to Lineage, I rooted the stock android with a rooting tool that was extremely quick and easy. Just sent a file in Odin while in download mode and it did the rest. But I'm fairly sure that same utility can't be used on Lineage as it's a whole new system.

What I would like is either help doing this, or if anyone knows a better rom to use that comes with root ability - and also the ability to move apps to the SD. For some reason, Lineage won't do this adequately, and stock android has no problem with it whatsoever. That's a step down in my opinion just because of dev's personal philosophy but whatever.

Anyway. Thanks if anyone can help.

I'd like an app that can let me choose icons for each of my apps, from any of the packs that I have installed. Once I choose for all my apps, I want to create a standalone app from the set I created.

I have the app Iconeration, which does almost all of this, but the apk it produces only indexes what icons to use from what existing packs, it does not actually embed them within. Now, I could save the icons I like and create a pack from scratch, but I would prefer if that was all automated.

And I'd like it to be FOSS preferably.

If there is such a thing, please let me know? Thanks.

 

Hi everyone,

So, LG is notorious for deleting files the moment their hardware is past support... anything to prevent you from retaining a device when you can be pressed to have to replace it. I have an older device and I have tracked down exactly what is wrong and how to fix it. Some folks have stated it's bricked, but much research has revealed that this is untrue. I need the stock firmware, but LG's site download links are all dead.

The device is the LG US730 (LG "Splendor"). The file I need is:
US73011b_03.S11b_03.P15107

If anyone has this or a previous version, I would so greatly appreciate it! I have spent many hours trying to track down the file from a mirror, an archive, a fan site, a site that has firmware backup files.... no luck anywhere. I figured it can't hurt to post a request just in case someone has it.

Thanks for reading, and if you can help, I would be in your debt and happily return the favor if you ever need anything that I have.

First of all, yes I have gone through droves of posts on XDA and frankly it’s a mess, but I can tell you that after following a few threads that just refer to themselves in loops, there’s no actual solution.

I have an LG US730 which was rooted and everything was great. I must have toggled something in SuperSU - I think maybe the option to be rooted during boot.

Anyway, now all I get is Security Error and it shuts off. None of the recovery power on switches will work. The only thing I could do is VOL+&- power while the usb is plugged in and it goes to a download in progress screen. Of course nothings happening and I need to remove battery in order to get this powered off at this point.

Anyway, I’d love if anyone has a tool to repair this. LG’s utilities all do nothing at all I think they’ve purged the back-end of older stuff so the programs that should download something and proceed simply wait forever.

 

I had been tinkering with some tools it was already rooted for days. I have a Galaxy that also was rooted and been messing with same said tools. No I didn’t foolishly make some change - I actually did not make any changes at all I was just looking around the options. One random time I rebooted and this happens. Now I cannot boot even into recovery mode :-(
