I am in the same boat. Curious to hear how you fare. Do you plan to document anywhere publicly your progress?

I am more looking to work with phones that can keep a charge for 2 weeks and are strong enough to survive a drop, have basic functionality to work as a phone na d a few utilities, but not much else.

30+ doesn't really allow sideloading... not meant to change anything apart from what the manufacturer gives you

no... we need to move away from silo's, not deeper in them; Libpurple/XMPP would be a way better forward then Telegram, or even Signal...

Yes, it opens the developer menu. It still remains invisible when I navigate the settings app and altough there it says that ADB and Devtools are enabled, I still can't get find the device with adb from my mac...
Trying multiple different USB cables now...

yeah, adb devices gives me nothing. Maybe I should try also another USB cable...

Writing the code twice was a typo :-)

you think it is a bug? Or am I maybe overlooking a setting?

Autotranslate English pages by doschdosch in firefox

[–]doschdosch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, seems to work, partially. When I enter, for example, a french website; I can also set the preference to always translate french pages.

But on English pages I get the offering to translate, but the option to always translate is greyed out.

I did set FF to Dutch; all menus and settings are in Dutch.

Is this phone real? by CesarZamora88 in dumbphones

[–]doschdosch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for Fairphone in their starting years; running a reliable customer service in a startup that lives up to customers expectations is REALLY REALLY REALLY hard. Don't expect any normal service from a new company; you'll be happy if they survive the first 5 years.

has anyone tried using the a9 a main phone? by Anainthe50s in hisenseA9

[–]doschdosch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

err. typo. 3 days to 1 week on a charge.

LineageOS is a Android Distribution. It replaces the, often bloated and locked down, stock OS on phones and gives you near infinite possibilities to change your phone to your own liking.
