Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18 | The new standard will replace SMS as the default communication protocol between Android and iOS devices ( www.theverge.com )

The long-awaited day is here: Apple has announced that its Messages app will support RCS in iOS 18. The move comes after years of taunting, cajoling, and finally, some regulatory scrutiny from the EU....

No, apple is not using Google's proprietary RCS they are using Open Source GSM RCS which doesn't go through Google's servers and it doesn't include end-to-end encryption.

Heliboard is the best opensource keyboard I have used. For dialer, I use fossify Dialer

Anyone ever removed stock launcher with ADB before?

Hiya, am thinking about removing the stock android launcher on my Pixel 7a, due to a bug causing one of the three navigation buttons to randomly not work, more about the bug here; https://lemmy.world/post/10555733. So was wondering if anyone had any experience regarding this? I know how to remove it, just want to know what the...

Yes, I have done it multiple times but you will lose recents screen and gesture navigation. If you have root, you can get it back with lawnchair + quickswitch.

iPad Pro with M4 chip boasts impressive performance jump compared to just-released M3 MacBook Air ( 9to5mac.com )

On raw performance might, the M4 really does live up to Apple’s promises, should deliver. Single core is up about 20% compared to all M3 chips and more than 40% compared to M2. The generational computational leap from the previous M2 iPad Pro is at least a 42% jump on single-core and multi-core.

I can only think of one thing you could do with this much power ...... run an LLM

Experiment with arch, void (musl), Nixos and atomic distros like fedora silverblue, bazzite

I mostly use a download manager for parallel downloading a file. (downloading multiple parts of a single file at the same time).

[Resolved] After updating through both APT and the Software Store, I can't play mp4 videos with VLC anymore. The screen goes blank for a second or two then the audio starts playing without the video..

I'm using Debian 12, Ryzen 7 5700X processor, and Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling VLC but it didn't resolve the issue. Here's an excerpt from the VLC's log file:...

Maybe try a full update. Partial updates are problematic.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

According to Debian Wiki
VLC has limited support of va-api for hardware acceleration. Try fixes in the wiki. It might help.

You should change the title, as it is the continuation of the story. People will think its the same story being repeated.

Many popular foss apps use Open collective

Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App ( www.androidauthority.com )

See, it turns out that the Rabbit R1 seems to run Android under the hood and the entire interface users interact with is powered by a single Android app. A tipster shared the Rabbit R1’s launcher APK with us, and with a bit of tinkering, we managed to install it on an Android phone, specifically a Pixel 6a....

I was lazy to find the real picture. So, I just posted the first one I found.

Well, looks like rabbit is taking down these videos 😂. All of the videos of rabbit r1 running doom or Minecraft are now private. Still found one on twitter.

You are missing the point. The point is that there is no need for such a device, a simple android app can do everything that rabbit r1 does.

Broadcom is also closed source (I think). I have to use closed source drivers for my broadcom wireless adapter on Linux.

GSI are dominant now, device specific Roms are rare these days.

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

Here you go: GSI List

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

Even if your device is not listed, it is still supported. Every phone launched with Android 8 or greater support project treble. Thus, it also supports gsi.

  1. DSU works properly for Android 12 or greater.
  2. If fastboot works you don't need twrp.
thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

Both N10 and N20 do not support DSU because they launched with the Android version less than Android 12.
But you can still install GSI with the traditional method.
Check you VNDk version with this app and I can tell you which gsi's are supported by your device.

  • Android 14 QPR2 will cause problems
  • Try this one.
  • Make a Backup of your data
  • Unlock Bootloader (if you haven't already)
  • Reboot to bootloader
  • fastboot flash system gsi.img

Yes, you will have bugs. But those are fixable with toggles in the TrebleApp.
And Gapps are included.

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

No, if you have another launcher installed with quickswitch support (like Lawnchair).
Then you will be fine.

Note: QuickSwitch requires root. It's for gestures and navigation support.

  • You can't revoke android.permission.INTERNET at runtime. You can only revoke at install time. Since you don't have root you can't revoke that permission.
  • Did you check settings? There is an option to remove background data access from an app.
