I saw the post title and immediately recalled the site name and remember using that site so often! But I forgot about it.

The post you linked to is written extremely poorly, clearly by someone who would absolutely fail any writing class. They are very poor at writing in all aspects. Also they integrated references and slang.

Well yeah and it’s why I’ll never buy a phone that isn’t sustainable. These companies are a poison to our world. It’s just very disappointing to me how few of us have a shred of integrity. It’s so sad and sickening.

The two big leaders Apple and Samsung they’re leading the way in the poison the earth brigade. And in these times all the assholes who talk about climate change yet use a ton of non-sustainable tech because it’s enjoyable…. They all sicken me and I have no respect for a single one. I’d just as soon they all drop dead.

Plus it means they’ll definitely have an inaccessible battery. More of that is the last thing many people want.

I wish I didn't ever need google but unfortunately sucksuckblow has been getting worse and worse.

Seriously, that's such an absurd statement. It implies that the client-side affects the actual results.

I think their system just makes more money with sponsored gimmicks they might be enhancing.

One or two of my computers have been on for about five years. The laptop I use mostly has been on for several months. But I'm a very teched-up person. I've got computers in various forms all over the place. Actually less nowadays compared to many years ago. I don't shut anything down because I've got various services in operation 24/7.

It has been an oligarchy for a long time. This has been studied and proven.

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 :-(

Hey, how would you go about this:

I have let’s say hundreds of files, most of which contain some emoji characters in the filenames. How to script - or if an app can do it great! - parsing all these files and removing those … idiotic characters.

Not for nothing but yeah Unicode is great, lots of languages yada yada, but emojis? Fucking emojis??? Ian Malcom thinks just because we could, doesn’t mean we should!

So yeah. Back in the day when I did some developing in VB, I guess I’d load the filenames into memory as strings and then do an instring replacement to null of any character that is within the char() range. So… if I could find out the range wherein lay the damned-to-hades-for-eternity emoji character set, I’d null those out or replace them each with an E for Evil.

So… anyone know the easy approach to scripting this? Or is there an app that will already do it?

I’m gonna look through all the options in krename kfind etc. all those but I doubt any of them has this.

Anyway thanks if you have any ideas. Especially something I can save and just use on a directory of files anytime.

Hello all,

Probably might seem like a dumb question, but I have searched and tried everything I could find.

I have a Galaxy A12, running Android 12. I have a high capacity microSD card in it, where I store lots or stuff.

For the life of me I cannot find a way to set the download folder on said SD card as the default location to which to download.

I cannot find anywhere in the OS settings, and I have searched and searched and looked online. I could not even get a setting in Firefox whereby I could establish this preference. One article stated you need to go into about:config ... well, that is just blank.

For bleeps sake I was able to do this on my goddamn pocket PC in the year 2000 with two freaking taps on the screen. How the hell have they gone out of their way to devolve some fundamental concepts??

Anyway, my ranting notwithstanding, I am hoping to be delightfully abashed when someone points to some obvious thing I managed to overlook. But it's not seeming likely.

Please help :-@
