ReVanced working? alternatives?

Allow me to try and keep this, as brief as I can.

For as long as it's been available, I'd been using ReVanced builder on my pc, to build the apk's for the apps that it supports (mostly, YouTube and Twitch). Lately, been noticing that when it comes time to build I'd been getting well, errors on everything and thus the resulting apk doesn't have any of the features I was trying to (re)Pack them with. Checking the author's GitLab shows ReVanced builder is now in read only mode? While searching eventually led me to a reddit thread about how the dependencies should be able to update and respond independently of the builder program, I've not been able to get a Revanced build of any app to build successfully since.

There is also the android program I could feasibly install on the phone and have it build it for itself, on the face of it. In practice, even if it successfully builds, it absolutely refuses to let me install the apk because I don't have a rooted phone. And it won't even let me find where it put the finished, rebuilt apk either. So that's near as makes no difference, useless to me.

Is ReVanced still being worked on elsewhere? Is there something out there made as an alternative?

Pocket Dialing

This afternoon, I no more than got through mowing my river property, when I received a call from a police officer. He was responding to my 911 hang up call. The call didn't show up in my call log but I must have pocket dialed the number while bouncing behind the mower. I told him that but he insisted on following up on my call and wanted my address. Uhhhh.. cabin in the woods by the river is the address :) I told him how to get to the cabin and he was there within five minutes. Nice guy and was impressed with the cabin and property. Not that it's upscale.. but it feels like many miles from civilization.

I've made a number of pocket calls through the years but that was my first time calling 911. I can't be the only person to have accidently called someone. Do you have a pocket call to share?

Samsung Happy 1st Birthday Fold4 & Flip4

Officially released worldwide by Samsung on the 25th August 2022 the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Flip4 are now one year old.

Although I now have the Fold5, I have kept my Fold4 as it is in perfect condition and no issues with either the inner or outer screens. Battery life is excellent and I look forward to receiving a lot of the new features that Android 14 will bring.

I have to say, that in the last year, my Fold4 has served me well and has proved very reliable.

Luggage tracker

New here and I hope I am not asking something that has already been discussed here. I did use the search option and found nothing.
Anyone have any info on trackers for luggage that can be used with an android device? Those I have found are compatible with Apple but not Android.
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

Making DIY Epoxy Art & Furniture with old Baseball Cards

Has anyone done their own Epoxy art, furniture, crafts, etc... ?

I've got a TON of old baseball cards from the 80s and 90s that are essentially worthless. Was thinking about sorting them into teams (ex: Baltimore) and using Epoxy to organize them on a tabletop or other products/surfaces to make some cool art/stuff with local vibes.

Anyone here have experience with epoxy? Would love to see what you've made! I should probably just put down a tarp and experiment but right now gathering ideas.

I'm also keen on using old gameboard pieces (ex: Monopoly money!) to make some fun stuff. Should probably have a separate forum/category as this is a bit more targeted than "off-topic". Hmm.

Here's a very simple example of a baseball card table using epoxy and IKEA furniture:

Help [SOLVED] [Evolver 7.9.7/Android 13] Pictures still not geotagged

Hello,

After upgrading to Evolver 7.9.7/Android 13 last night, I noticed that pictures were no longer geotagged.

Adding the Camera app to the list of apps authorized to use the Location service, and even rebooting made no difference: There's still no Location item in the app's Settings section.

What should I do?

Thank you.

Help What version of Android did the notification changes happen in?

I purchased and returned a Pixel 7 Pro and an S23 before I found out they were not faulty/buggy but Google had changed the way Android works at some point between my P20 Pro and the new phones. The older phones showed an unread message count and the new ones show a one time notification and no reminder of unread messages.

I will therefore buy the newest used Android I can that works the old way. Can someone tell me what version Google implemented the 'update' and I can look for a phone from before this version? Thanks.

BLE communication device name cannot be changed

We are doing BLE communication with Android application and Nordic microcontroller. Even if the device name is changed with the software on the Nordic microcomputer side, it will not be reflected in the Android application.
But over time it will be reflected in the Android app.
Does this mean it's cached?

The device name is set by method device.name of BluetoothGatt.

I'm done with AT&T

Hi folks:

I'm looking for a cheaper service.

Mint's $15.00 a month unlimited talk and Internet for each of my two phones sounds good. I'm assuming there's about that much more for taxes and whatever.

Ryan Reynolds is a good actor with a good sense of humor. Is there another network I should be looking at?

I want unlimited talk and Internet.

I live in Portland, Or. I assume any carrier will offer good coverage of the Pacific Northwest.

One thing holding me back is that my two $62.00 Samsung SM J260A are locked to AT&T. Is there a way to unlock them?

I'm fine with a used phone, and this might be an opportunity to trade up for the price of a new low end phone.

A plug for a headset is necessary. Nice camera would be nice. A replaceable battery is also important, even if it needs to be done in a shop.

I've never used a phone as a hot spot, but it sounds like a feature that might come in handy.

I wouldn't pay an extra dollar for 5G. What does it offer?

Can anybody recommend particular phones I should be looking for. Price is important.

I've looked at Backmarket. Is there another source I should be considering? Price is important.

Anybody out there with a couple of good Androids for a good price?

Thanks
Larry

Philips TV cannot play Spotify continuously

Hey All, I have a strange problem with my Smart TV 43PUS 9235/12. I like to play Spotify to listen to my favourite music (old C&W, Big Bands, Peggy Lee ) but when I do the app stops playing after the advertisements. Sometimes after the first, sometimes after the second or third ad.
I already refreshed the Firmware of the TV, I cleared the cache for the Spotify app, I removed the App altogether and reinstalled it but no solution. I already contacted Spotify itself and Philips for solutions?

How to select messages from a specific phone number (Kotlin Android)

Code:

Photo Viewer from USB

Greetings from the PNW.

I have a new tablet - Galaxy Tab S7. I have many questions but chief among them is: is there a way to view photos that are on a usb stick where I can scroll thru them quickly?

I can see the stick and open the folder with the pictures. But can only open one at a time. Then have to revert to the thumbnails and open the next. Way to cumbersome. On my previous tablet - Kindle Fire, there was no issue. Just open the folder and pic # and tap for the next.

Doesn't seem like this should be difficult. What am I missing.?

Thanks in advance.
