there was a non foss one i used (iirc nodevideo? smth like that) but it wasn’t great.

i recommend kdenlive in termux

ublock is (mostly) best used as a blacklist filter while numatrix is best as a whitelist filter. you can toggle js, xhr, frame, etc for individual domains and sites with numatrix. similar function isn’t impossible to achieve in ublock (which is why gorhill stopped developing umatrix, the origin of numatrix) but it’s far more intuitive with numatrix. i suggest you just try as it’s fairly easy to understand.

what the fuck

try less plugins in firefox. i only use ublock origin and numatrix (this can replace noscript and works better). don’t enable too many filter lists in ublock, there’s pretty severe impact.

or theres the choice of using chromium based instead. somehow they work much smoothly than ff. i still use kiwibrowser but it’s discontinued so can’t recommend it… there’s no ublock but cromite is decent

not sure wdym bluetooth backdoor tho. i personally don’t use BT at all so…

do you have gapps? are there many addons in firefox?

don’t use disk swap. it’s almost never a good choice.

crashing to boot animation sounds very weird. i haven’t experienced it since CM10 (android 4.1.2). perhaps there’s a different issue with that rom?

i think you may have to try another rom, or a lower android version. in my experience android 12 and higher is much heavier/sluggish than 11. i’d recommend downgrading.

the android build system is really shitty. it’s too optimized for OEM’s high spec build servers, us poor plebs can’t run it well… it even needs insane storage space for some reason. for small modifications manual edits work much better

(and btw what device is this?)

no i just meant i’m using zram function already available… haven’t improved it or anything. so my comment was kinda offtopic for this thread…

i have two android devices that i use zram on. one is a armv7 msm8974 phone with 2gb ram on android 8.1 (LG G2), the other is an arm64 sdm429 tablet also with 2gb ram on android 11 (Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 2019). i frequently run termux and firefox/kiwibrowser together.

btw this Galaxy Tab A i have is one of those devices where the manufacturer decided to include armv7 kernel on a 64bit device. thankfully the bootloader is 64bit capable, and even the stock rom in one specific region is in 64bit, so i’m able to use 64bit in mine.

the android build system is actually not necessary to modify the android kernel. the kernel zImage/Image.gz can be built by simply getting the android toolchain (arm-eabi-4.9 for me) and compiling the kernel thru linux standard process (export ARCH=arm; export CROSS_COMPILE; make defconfig; make) and manually replacing the kernel in boot.img using unpackbootimg and mkbootimg.

i actually don’t even use microg, there’s no problem at all. you don’t get push messages, and some apps might not run tho i havent encountered any yet. (i don’t run banking, drm, anything like that)

i use zram on a 3.x kernel on my ancient android phone. it helps significantly! modern firefox is unusable without zram.

yeah, i think they started getting rid of s3 in favor of s0ix since 11th? 12th? gen. heard it’s shitty. :(

reproducible results

isn’t this already the case? use the same model with same temperature locally and it should produce the same output

i use a kaby lake (7th gen intel i5) laptop, and sleep works well on all linux, freebsd, windows. i’m using s3 sleep, are you on a newer machine that only supports s0ix?

the F-Droid repository IzzyOnDroid has pretty good AI policy. (#)

We are strongly opposed to apps which are fully or in part created by generative AI tools.

thanks! will look into it

i see. i also don’t use push notifications, but to have my discord using friends move over i need to reach feature parity.

i haven’t seen Convos before, thanks for sharing.

i’ve seen The Lounge before while looking for a discord alternative sometime ago, but i skipped it because there doesn’t seem to be replies, editing, reactions, file/image sharing. i have to admit i only tried their Demo link, perhaps libera just doesn’t support those IRCv3 features?

i see, that’s awesome. will try setting it up later.

do you know if push notifications work in the mobile app?

this is true, refurb drives should be avoided unless it’s a very good deal. used drives are fine as long as the conditions are clear.

sorry for keeping you wait for so long. please try downloading this boot.img file and booting it. i’ve modified the original boot.img’s default.prop to enable ADB.

boot that using fastboot boot tecno-ki7_boot_adb.img, and right after that run sudo dmesg -w to see any new USB device appearing. Also open another terminal and try adb devices, adb shell etc and see if you can communicate with the device while it’s in the boot animation stage.

if the new boot.img i provided doesn’t work please let me know, we might need to nullify vbmeta

i also use irc but it doesn’t work for normies. there’s no integrated persistant chat log, image/file upload, voice chats, replies(linking to specific message), message editing, emoji reactions, etc…

it’s gonna come to most forks eventually but the advantage of desktop firefox is that you can fix it with userchrome unlike any other browsers
