1·11 months agoWell, I just found a guide on how to install twrp 3.2.3 on a Samsung Galaxy Star here, which has the model number SM-J337T. It has the exact same SoC, CPU and GPU as my device. The guide has a link to an unnoficial twrp recovery.img image. Would it be safe for me to use that for my SM-J337W?
PS. What does the T and W mean in the device model number?
11·11 months agoMee too. Already switched to Gentoo. I also plan on setting up my own NAS.
Uhm, if that happens, maybe the devs could use something like qemu or a specialized fork of it?
I hope this isn’t going to be the default. I know, the average granny might prefer to have a BSOD with a QR code, but I think a lot of the people who are more tech-savvy, like me, would prefer to see log messages when booting because then you could see which service failed and why or why it’s all of a sudden taking so long to boot. That’s also why I choose not to have a splash screen when booting.
Anyways, this BSOD thing doesn’t apply to me because I use Gentoo with OpenRC.
Well, I eventually got bored of Arch and installed Gentoo this summer. I enjoyed it 😎.
PS. I wish there was a Gentoo emoji.
Well, you do have qemu, which can run x86 programs on other architectures (not just running x86 virtual machines on top of hosts of other architectures).

I use rclone. The command I use to mount my GDrive is basically:
rclone mount "GoogleDrive:" ~/googledrive --vfs-cache-mode full --daemonAnd then I could access it (almost) as if were a regular USB drive mounted onto my filesystem (by doing
cd ~/googledrive). Only difference is that it is a bit slow, as none of the files ever get synced to the computer’s hard drive (all changes are immediately uploaded to Google servers), and I cannot change the filesystem permissions (they are always a+rw for all of the files).
Well, for schoolwork, I mount my Google Drive storage onto my ~/googledrive directory (where I store all of my schoolwork) and usually use mc to navigate. Although, I am quite comfortable with the terminal. Its just that I have a lot of subfolders and going to a specific subfolder in mc is usually faster than doing “cd ~/googledrive/subfolder-with-long-path”.
Well, they say that development for these phones is mostly dead.
Also, I do think that getting a virus by simply downloading Android ROMs from some unknown source (or an open source project maintained only by 1 person) would be quite easy. Not to mention that xz-utils, an open-source project was recently backdoor-ed.
