1. There can't be a one click import, because Android's security model means that without root privileges one app can't access another app's database.

In principle if the stock launcher could back up its settings to the shared storage Nova could read that. But (a) I don't think it does, and (b) since different launchers have different options and settings it's implausible that they'd save in the same format, so the Nova developer would have to work out how to interpret each other launcher's backups separately. All just for a starting point, since the reason to use a replacement launcher is to do things the stock one doesn't.

2. Yes. As said previously, nothing in Nova changes anything in the stock launcher.

I fact it's not likely Nova will put icons in random positions: if you are one of the people who fills their screens with icons it's more likely that most of them won't be on the Nova home screen at all (they'll be in the app drawer, of course) and you'll have to re-add them to Nova. By default it will probably only put a few on screens (I keep my screens mostly bare of icons, and would remember if I'd had to sit down and remove hundreds of the things!).

Any Way to Save Google Authenticator Information to Local Device?

There are other authenticator apps out there, so another option is just to use one of them. Certainly some of them have better security features than Google: password/biometric locking of the app, encrypted backups, that sort of thing.

As it happens a major international lab I work at actively discourages use of Google Authenticator for 2FA precisely because of Google's unencrypted cloud syncing of keys, the same reason you don't want to turn the cloud connection on.

tns debug/build android returned with unexpected error (Nativescripts)

Before I proceed, let me explain that I am recently employed into this new company as a junior IT support. I mainly do hardware with very2 little programming knowledge. Recently my company upgraded to a newer server and we have changed the location of the databases. However our apps are still pointing towards the old server url/location. I have been in contact with the app developers on how to change the configuration of the apk; in which it needs to be decompiled. They are engaged in a big project and was unable to assist me at this moment. Instead, they have given me the whole folder containing all the source code (Shown in the screenshot).

I was asked to:-

  1. Change the URL setting in on of the config.ts file contained in the res folder - done -
  2. Recompile everything to APK so that the 'new' apk can be installed on our mobile android devices.
Upon reading the README file in the folder, it is obvious I am supposed to rebuild this apk app using nativescript. Please see screenshots:-

My questions / Issues :-

  1. I have done the steps required in the README file such as:-
    a. Install [node js] (https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.15.1/node-v10.15.1-x64.msi). Make sure to use version > v10 LTS (I am now using ver v12.22.12)
    b. Install Nativescript CLI using git bash
    npm install -g nativescript
    Done
    c. Install Java SE Development Kit 8u201 Done
    d. Install [Android Studio] (Download Android Studio & App Tools - Android Developers) Done
    e. Create android emulator. Done
    f. Clone this repository. <---- How is this done correctly? Do I copy the whole project folder and place it under an active working folder to generate the apk app? Please advise
  2. Do I run the .sh script PRIOR to running the related commands in tns such as 'tns android build' / 'tns android debug'?
  3. I did a tns debug android using command prompt (Admin rights) in the folder path and received :-

  1. I also did tns doctor just to check my configurations are correct or otherwise:-

I DID refer back to the developer of this app, however he did not have any comments rather than the android apk was created using nativescript (duh!). I have also send him the exact same question here however he is not replying as prompt as I expected. Would appreciate if anyone with the expertise could assist and guide me moving forward. Many thanks.

Root Lg Ally and Ice Cream Sandwich

Well...any luck? Least around the time you posted this people on xda got the ally to run 2.3.7 max (I think their link is dead). The most alive thing I found was 2.3.5 which worked perfectly. Idk maybe I can try my hand at it. ffs the galaxy s3 can now run android 13 (should have gone with oreo or nougat...13s a bloated mess) and ics and jellybean have now been poked and prodded at in every way imaginable so it cant be too hard these days.
the problem you will run into is finding any files that still exist to make this happen. there really is no dev community supporting the device any more. all the threads i have seen date back to 2013. i can't search xda because something is wrong with their forum section. but a google search shows threads that are pretty old.

Question about Pixel 7 Pro

power button to end a call, and I have that enabled at the moment. I assume that I must turn that off, or exactly as advertised, I'll end the call.
Yeah, I think you are on to something haha. I forgot that was even an option. There are other ways to dim the screen, probably apps for just that or automation apps - I use Tasker but IFTTT or Macrodroid would work. I have mine set to dim when the screen is face down.

Sub-forum descriptions are hilariously out of date

My parents used to have some early 2000s Pioneer Plasma set and used it until around 2015 when they needed HDMI and 'smart apps'. the Pioneer wasn't full HD yet had a beautiful picture and lasted a long time in an era where many people were led to believe plasma would only last a couple of years before 'burning out'. I wonder why plasma doesn't exist today?

they tried to give me the TV, but the thing weighed upwards of 50 lbs, was quite large for the time and I still lived in camper that wouldn't accept anything larger than 19"

I only remember rear projection big screens being terrible even in the 80s. I knew a few rich neighbors who had those TVs in woodgrain and even C-band satellite behemoths in their backyards, and waiting 20 seconds of hearing relays clacking and other noises as it re-oriented the dish out back to change the channel. Those TVs were only milky if you sat directly in front of 'em, and unviewable at any angle. Great speakers though, could rattle the windows. Those behemoths were reliability nightmares and many were out on the curb by 1990. The one with C-band had the TV fail by suddenly making one bright white flash from the back of the set followed by a loud, window-shattering bassy BOOM from the speakers, followed by smoke. i think one of the three CRTs had imploded.

Avatar 2.....who is excited??????

I liked the 1st part much better. Although the 2nd part is pretty good too. But I'm not going to rewatch it.
i think Avatar 2 is better in every aspect. the visuals alone is soooooo much better. the world that James Cameron created is amazing, especially the underwater world. the plot is ok, i agree that the 1st is slightly better. and just like the 1st, i will gladly watch the 2nd many times. can't wait to see what Avatar 3 will be like.
