Ported/rewrote the missing drivers for the Mi Max 2 (oxygen, MSM8953) with AI help. Camera and phone calls both work now. Only the loudspeaker is still broken.

Everything is up for anyone who wants to install it, or to understand the changes and manually write the patches for mainline.

Welcome to PetDNS, a fully native management app for NextDNS!

If you're not familiar with NextDNS, I highly recommend giving the service a try! NextDNS is a DNS service that blocks advertisements and trackers across the web and inside apps to help secure your devices.

PetDNS is the easiest and best way to manage your NextDNS account, whether you have one profile or dozens! PetDNS has beautiful dashboards and analytics, a feature-rich log parser, and full control over advanced features, such as DNS Rewrites and Parental Controls.

Other NextDNS management apps either have unnecessarily restrictive free tiers or push you to a web view to manage certain parts of your profiles and account. PetDNS gives you access to all of your data at no charge. PetDNS also provides widgets and Shortcuts to allow automated data gathering and management, something that no other app currently provides!

Any and all feedback is welcome!

I just found a very sus app on google play called "SMS Virtual". It's a blatant phishing app to get end users to send their OTP security codes through the developers network. Apparently, this a useful free service for an idiot, cause those OTP messages are just so annoying.

Anyway, I tracked down the form on the web for reporting developers for violations, but I'd be hopelessly naive to expect Google to give two shits.

So, my question is simply this: what can the community do about something like this? It feels pretty hopeless, but before I give up just wanted to ask for any suggestions. Just really creeped me out when I realized the purpose of the app.

My apologies if this not comm appropriate; if I'm violating the rules, I won't hesitate to remove. Just didn't know where to start...

Just learned that if a developer stops the developer subscription, all buyers and users of apps from the developer can no longer download the app if they need to (like when buying a 102654198211new device etc) - that sucks!

Never buying an expensive app again.

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this kind of question, my options on Lemmy are kind of limited.

I play around a lot with experimental types of music and have been using a series of poly-rythm soundscapes that I have created for sleep aid. A couple of friends tried out the stuff I created and said it was amazing for sleep and relaxation.

This gave me the idea for an app that created the poly-rythm soundscapes using simple(ish) formulas that allowed the user to change the scale, scale mode, duration, ambient effects, and poly-meter type to suit their preferences.

I am currently injured and am on disability so have all time and boredom in the world to throw into this project.

My entire programming experience was a single semester of Visual Basic in 2003.

Where would I begin to bring something like this into existence?

Thanks in advance.

So, I decided to resurrect a thing I was working on a ~year ago.

There I had to update a library (one of the Compose ones), I don't even remember the reason why anymore. And then all the hell broke loose: AGP, kotlin compiler, compose compiler, something-kotlin-stdlib, a billion of tiny separate androidx.* libs, even the damn Android Studio itself, all incompatible with each other, some renamed, some replaced by a different thing, some having version coming from unknown depths.

Couple of hours of "copypaste meaningless error message to google, get some 'change version of X to Y' from stackoverflow, click the elephant of misery button, wait, maybe click the run button, goto 1" later I wonder, how (if?) is it even feasible to "just" make and maintain an app for Android as a single developer.

How do you guys deal with it? Reading changelogs every morning on the toilet? Using some secret thirdparty BOM? Maybe a template project one can copypaste the gradle stuff from? Or just use Qt/flutter/godot/raw opengl and forget about all this misery?

I need to a) make a simple change and b) re-build WiFi module

How to do it? Firstly, where is in the repo the code of the WiFi module?

And how to compile the Wifi module only?

Been looking at dart-flutter relationship recently... seen what it can do... pretty amaizing! Two birds with one stone is real!

Before jumping to it, i soldem wonder;

• what are the compromises that one would face upon embarking this?
• can these comporises be that bad? (compared to native ios/android app dev)
• how bad are the work-arounds (if they exist) to these compromises?

PS: any extra information would be highly appretiated 😊

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is it.

i have given this project 2 weeks of my precious life, and even now the project spits on my face. Got less than 24 hrs to get his thing working!

Background:

let it be known on the get-go that i have zero experience on android development. i just started 2 weeks ago... So, like a good folk, i jumped into YouTube, looking for a playlist that could assist me on the project build, and found this. the old "monkey see monkey do" went well, until the 5th video, where he ran his application, and mine couldn't.

Maaan dependency hell is REAL!, and the tutor playlist was a year old. (a lot has changed since then?, maybe) fought that battle the whole week, until i got Gradle smiling again (My God! pheeeeew!) so the project should run now right?... WRONG!

Every time the app starts on my phone, it crashes IMMEDIATELY!

• clear project cache and restart? Nothing!
• dependency version change? Gradle doesn't build!

I'm in the middle of yanking my hair off my fiery head.

here is my logcat:

this one above says InflateException... jumped to the file that causes this (line 16): and here is my introduction_register_login_graph: and below is the fragment that is called first from the graph above:

with my inexperienced eyes, everything looks okay... but again, i'm 2 weeks old in android dev... HELP?

Looks like a lot of nice new features this year. Having Xcode previews for UIKit apps will save me a ton of time.
