Specifically the Onn 10.1" Gen 3, model 100071485? These are cheap, low-powered Walmart house brand tablets that are perfect for fucking around with, and I’m amazed there’s not more of a modding community for them.

The last two I tried had some of the crappiest sounding audio I’ve ever heard out of a premium phone. I have a $100 wired headset I’d like to use.

I understand that probably there is little interest if you are a device ROM maintainer to embed a backdoor into it. But it’s still possible. Lineage has a fairly simple and open build process. Should I do it on my own? Or should I trust the maintainers and not bother? What are your thoughts?

Is there a way to cast my phone screen to TV using some kind of Tasker plugin? I’m using screen cast to view one specific app on a big TV, but the screen mirroring stops whenever the wifi blinks, and I’d like it to reconnect automatically.

I have a family member who is currently selling the S22 Ultra for 500€ (just the phone). I’m currently rocking a Note 10 Lite with the latest One UI 5.1 and have no major complaints. Is this worth it tho? I’ve hear how “faulty” the S22 line is, specially the exynos variants.

I’m transitioning to Bitwarden having been using a hodgepodge of Firefox and Google password management. I’m gradually trying to de-google anyway and I’ve got a bit frustrated with the Firefox Android password manager (fine on desktop, often doesn’t offer to generate passwords on mobile)....
