I have an old Android device, the LG Tribute Dynasty, that I want to see if I can somehow get a custom ROM working with it or something. It is a MediaTek device, but both the AOSP and kernel sources are available at the Internet Archive (I remember uploading them).

What's neat is that the device can be rooted because it's vulnerable to the MTK-su exploit (the device never received updates beyond November 1, 2019). This means we can do some stuff with it, but I don't know how useful it'll be.

📣 Attention all custom ROM users and advocates for digital rights! 📣

Google's Play Integrity is limiting access to certain functionalities and applications for those using custom operating systems. This is a direct attack on the open-source community and a step towards further consolidating Google's monopoly in the mobile ecosystem.

The European Commission is aware of the situation, but has deemed it a low priority: europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docum

It's time for us to take action and show Google and the EU how much we care about this issue! 💥

Stop Google from Limiting Custom ROMs! The Issue: Google systematically blocks access to apps and functionalities for users running custom Android operating systems, affecting millions of tech-savvy users who modify their devices. Why Users Choose Custom ROMs: • Overcome programmed obsolescence when manufacturers stop updating • Fix bugs in stock operating systems • Personalize and customize their device's software • Improve performance and privacy Google's False Justification: Google claims Play Integrity ensures "app security" by verifying unmodified app binaries on "genuine" Android devices. In reality, this is a tactic to: • Maintain its mobile operating system monopoly • Restrict user choice • Convince developers to stay dependent on Play Store Our Demand: We call on European Union to consider investigating the monopolistic tactics, and ask Google to allow custom ROM users to: • Access all applications • Use device capabilities fully • Exercise their right to modify owned technology This is about digital freedom, user rights, and challenging corporate control over personal technology. Sign now to support technological freedom!

"Android treats third-party launchers poorly, but this survey could help"

"TL;DR

  • Developers behind some big-name launchers have come together to create a survey for users.
  • This comes after years of third-party launchers being treated like second-class citizens on Android.
  • The survey’s findings will be presented at a Google event in October."
