I have these two settings, but I'm confused as to how they can work together. A swipe during a call took a screeenshot.

I'm trying to build LineageOS 17.1 for the Xperia XZ2 Compact. I have gotten it to successfully build stock, but now I'm onto optimizing it (mostly just applying patches from a XZ1 Compact repo). These patches are for the XZ1 Compact, which uses the Snapdragon 835, or the MSM8998. The XZ2 Compact uses a Snapdragon 845, or the SDM845. A few of these patches I run into errors when compiling. I'm mostly focusing on Clang since I know that would help with performance and battery. I'm not really sure what the other patches do.

Patch 1:
android_device_sony_lilac/patches/update-clang.patch at lineage-17.1 · Flamefire/android_device_sony_lilac

The error:

Extra context:
displays_str is not in the MSM8998 source. I'm not really sure what it does, but if I remove it, it continues to compile but runs into a different error later on. I also don't want to disable some core functionality related to the display, so I'd rather not remove it. There is updated and different code for the function in LineageOS 18.1 source, but replacing the old code with the new code only results in a different error relating to displays_str.

Error 2:

Extra context:
I have no idea what this means or how to fix it. It would probably be helpful if I captured a bit more in this screenshot, but I didn't. I would prefer to get more info once I get displays_str fixed instead of bypassing it again.

For these patches I will get into less detail, as I don't think it's needed, but if you need it, I can recompile with the patch to get a full error.

Patch 2:
android_device_sony_lilac/patches/fix-llvm-unwind-warning-and-findUnwindSections.patch at lineage-17.1 · Flamefire/android_device_sony_lilac

The compiling error was command not found and suggested replacing -Wno-bitwise-conditional-parentheses (On line 11 in the patch) with -Wno-bitwise-op-parentheses and it just worked. Not sure what it changes or even if that just invalidates the entire patch, but it worked.


Patch 3:
android_device_sony_lilac/patches/suppress-bool-operation-warning.patch at lineage-17.1 · Flamefire/android_device_sony_lilac

The compiling error was again command not found, but had no suggestion for replacing -Wno-bool-operation (On line 12 in the patch). Not sure what this does either. No fix for it (aside from not including) for now.


Patch 4:
android_device_sony_lilac/patches/update-abi-dumps.patch at lineage-17.1 · Flamefire/android_device_sony_lilac

This causes a bunch of errors but the compiler helped me and I was able to fix it with the four commands below.
$ANDROID_BUILD_TOP/development/vndk/tools/header-checker/utils/create_reference_dumps.py -l libhidlbase
$ANDROID_BUILD_TOP/development/vndk/tools/header-checker/utils/create_reference_dumps.py -l libhwbinder_noltopgo
$ANDROID_BUILD_TOP/development/vndk/tools/header-checker/utils/create_reference_dumps.py -l libstagefright_foundation
$ANDROID_BUILD_TOP/development/vndk/tools/header-checker/utils/create_reference_dumps.py -l libprotobuf-cpp-full
Again not sure if this just invalidates the patch, but it worked.

I would really appreciate some help with this. I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to coding.

This was the fourth time in 50+ years living at this address that I experienced a lengthy power outage. Each time I vowed that I'd invest in some sort of backup and I'm still not prepared. Yesterday around 1PM we lost power. Our feed is overhead and with the ice and high winds a tree branch down the street brought the line down. There were towns without power so my ten home outage was not a priority. Power was restored at 7AM and the temp in my home only dropped into the low forties overnight. That wouldn't be a huge problem except for my parrot. I had an old LP heater in my work storage that I grabbed yesterday afternoon but I couldn't get it to light. I had no time to diagnose the problem. I borrowed a Mr Heater and kept the bird warm until I ran out of gas at 4AM. I was at Lowes for more LP and another heater at 6. My power was restored at 7. My 21 year old bird buddy's room dropped to 50°. I hope that the power outage and my impromptu alternative heat was sufficient and he doesn't catch cold. Fifty degrees is about the low limit for large parrots.

So much for my recent saga. I now have a backup heater and plan to repair the large heater I fetched from my work shed. I'd love to invest in a whole house generator. They are a serious investment with a crossover and all installed. Maybe just a small generator for some lights and to hotwire the furnace. I can get by without cooking inside or doing laundry. I can live without AC if I lose power in the summer. A few lights, heat, and power for the refrigerator and freezer is all I really need.

Do you have any backup plan or backup in place? Any suggestions of ideas to share?

Hello,

The archives didn't return hits so here goes.

The app from Google didn't geotag pictures, and I don't like the OpenCamera app I'm using (way too many features for my need, slow to start and take pictures). As for picture quality, the hardware isn't very good anyway, so there's not much the app can do in that respect.

Is there a simple and ad-free camera application you would recommend. FWIW, I'm using custom ROM "Evolver" with Android 13.

Thank you.

When I clear cache from a file app, it just gets rid of stuff that makes it faster, right? What happens if data get cleared? Do all the files disappear?

When I get a text, my galaxy watch 4 shows it at the bottom of the conversation. So if there are are previous texts in the the conversation, I have to scroll all the way to the top of the thread to see who the sender. Sure, sometimes it's obvious, but a lot of times it isn't, such as when it's a conversation that hasn't been active for a few days or longer. Is there any way to have it show the sender at the top of the text rather than the top of the thread? It does it if it's a group chat but not for an individual chat. Thanks in advance.

I am using an Android smartphone (which happens to be a Motorola). Because my digital organiser is on the blink, I have transferred all of the entries in it, into the Calendar app that lives in my phone. At some time next year, it will be time to replace my smartphone, and I am concerned about losing all the entries that I so laboriously copied into the Calendar. Nearly all of these are repeated tasks that, having been done, will be moved forward to the next occasion (some of which will be next week, some next month, some will be a few months into the future, and just a few will be a few years into the future).

How can these entries be saved, so that it will not be necessary to enter them all again, on a new phone? I have next to no technical knowledge, where phones are concerned.

With thanks in anticipation of some help, in simple terms,
S.

What's a good alternative? Talkatone says it uses google play services and I don't want that. Whatever it is has to be WiFi.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tablet S6 SM-T867U.

I was hoping to get Android Auto to connect to my Google Pixel 8, but the tablet says Android Auto isn't compatible with the tablet.

Is there a way I can force it to work? Maybe use some form of crack of some kind?

ZDNet just wrote a review of Rhino Linux and call it the coolest Linux Distribution. It's based on Ubuntu ! I've glanced at it. There's no GUI for installing additional software, so it teaches people to use the shell. I guess Here's the article:
