#lineageos

24 posts22 participants2 posts today

Recently, I switched to #olauncher as a launcher for #lineageos I run on my phone. It was just an experiment with #minimalist environment which, as I expected, was supposed to end quickly. It is two months now! I realized I am obsessed with organizing the icons "the perfect way", which is just not the thing here 😉 All you need to do is: select 8 favorite apps at max, and remember 3 basic gestures (swipe from left and right to start the most used apps, from bottom to get a list of all apps).

Hat es schon irgendjemand mal geschafft, bei #LineageOS mit #microG per Google Play Guthaben was zu kaufen mit der experimentellen Funktion?

Ich würde mir gerne für 2,49€ bei der DWD-Warnapp die Vollversion kaufen, aber nach dem letzten Mal klicken komm ich nur zurück zur eingeschränkten Version... Vielleicht muss ich doch mal mit adb debuggen...

I was bored, so #LineageOS happened. Which forced… gave me the opportunity to rethink some apps. A couple of highlights.

I returned to #GhostCommander, which wasn’t working well with older Androids (remember the Great SD Card Disaster?). It looks and behaves like an open-source version of #TotalCommander. If you don’t need SMB 1 support like I do, you should probably check out #MaterialFiles instead, It looks better.

You need #Obtainium. Or #FDroid, if you’re not cool. sites.google.com/site/ghostcom

Operazione resuscitazione riuscita!!
Ho preso il mio vecchio Motorola Moto G6 Plus che avevo seppellito nel cassetto cimitero degli Smartphone, gli ho installato LineageOS 22.2 (Android15) e adesso è diventato un fulmine, bello, aggiornato, scattante e cosa più importante degooglizzato, e tutto questo grazie all'Open Source!!! Dio benedica LineageOS, è tutto il mondo dell'Open Source. Un mondo libero dalla schiavitù è dalla dipendenza dalle Big Tech e possibile, è reale!

Samsung blokuje bootloader w smartfonach. Na zawsze.

"So it begins", użytkownicy smartfonów pod szyldem Samsunga doczekali się wyłączenia przez producenta możliwości odblokowania bootloadera. Tym ruchem producent przekreślił możliwość instalowania jakichkolwiek niestandardowych romów z LineageOS na czele, czy możliwość uzyskania uprawnień roota. Jest to o tyle smutna informacja, że smartfonom Samsunga było najbliżej do spełnienia wymogów bezpieczeństwa stawianych przez deweloperów GrapheneOS. Pomijając innych małych producentów, Samsung dołącza do niechlubnej ławki "niewolnych", na której obecny jest już od dawna Huawei. Jeśli ktoś liczy na odrobinę wolności i prywatności, pozostaje omijać szerokim łukiem #Samsung i #Huawei.

W przejętym od matki Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G wymieniłem w końcu ichnie MIUI na świeżego LineageOS i telefon wystartował jak rakieta. Jest szybciej i przyjemniej bez tego całego bloatu.

To pierwszy raz, kiedy przenosiłem się na „nowy” telefon od czasu rozpoczęcia intensywnego korzystania z aplikacji z F-Droid i muszę przyznać, że w momencie przenosin jest to trochę upierdliwe, bo musiałem ręcznie zainstalować tonę apek. Ale i tak warto.

The stock music player from #LineageOS is quite nice...

But it seems to scour your entire disk for music, rather than just /Music

No, I don't want random crap you found in /Documents to be shuffled in with the music I've curated for 20 years.

How is there not a setting for this? XD

I'm very close to deciding to ditch and generally in favour of the stability and reduced hassle of a new and supported phone. Recent changes seem to indicate and co are making it even harder for custom ROMs and may soon completely block their use. I feel like their days are numbered. One of the main reasons I'm debating this is the ongoing banking apps issue; they're increasingly fussy about unlocked bootloaders etc.

L'interfaccia desktop nativa pensata per #Android 16 è molto interessante

Ma se ad un passo avanti se ne affiancano 2 indietro tutto è vanificato:
- Google Play Integrity API
- Direttiva "RED" 2014/53/UE

E addio a sblocco boot loader, modding e custom rom; che fine faranno le varie #lineageos #grapheneos #ubuntutouch solo per citarne alcune tra quelle che utilizzo? Verso quale direzione controllo globale stiamo andando?

But at least a bunch of (almost) useless advantage cards AND my semester ticket for public transport work now.

Still would want to use at least the Amazon Visa on #LineageOS though (it's only available through Google Pay).

Still wondering what it takes to make a NFC wallet app and hook/spoofe being the google wallet app to use cards from there...

Continued thread

Lol the Google Pay/Wallet app doesn't allow you to screenshot the cards/tickets (like the qr code of my semester ticket).

HOWEVER when you open Google Wallet within the (mobile) web browser you can just use (and screenshot) all of them.

Wonder if it would be possible to reimplement the google wallet app for microG to serve the nfc cards :breadthink:

So without google pay on #LineageOS I can:
* Use PayBack for nfc contactless payment
* Use PayPal for nfc contactless payment
* Use REWE Pay (QR-Code) for paying at REWE

NOT use:
* Amazon Visa
* Wise
* My bank's card (neither the vpay nor the visa one)
* Use my semester ticket for public transport (still investigating may work with manual effort)
