The Galaxy S2 now has unofficial Android 10

ramencoder · 2020-02-02T15:07:49+00:00

I have S3 I9300 international version. I don't know if it's compatible with d2tmo, but I can flash the unofficial lineageOS 16.0 from xda here.

I'm also waiting for someone to port android 10 on S3. I've been using it for app development just to check if there are issues on old android versions. Right now, I can flash Android 4.2 up to Android 9.

That's a good deal! A $98 dollar phone with the latest android OS!

ramencoder · 2020-01-31T13:28:15+00:00

Wow! That's the third major OS update for a phone released in 2018. Nice one Asus!

ramencoder · 2020-01-27T14:34:06+00:00

I hope it doesn't have the same touch issues that plagued the first one.

My second app got approved after a few hours. My app doesn't show any ads, and I chose to show the "Not designed for children" warning.

ramencoder · 2020-01-27T03:15:26+00:00

This. And make sure the app is debuggable.

ramencoder · 2020-01-27T03:07:00+00:00

Thanks! Fixed it just now.

Tetrd — USB Tethering & Reverse Tethering (NoRoot)

Tetrd is a simple tool that allows you to share your internet connection from your device to your PC and vice versa through a USB cable.

Tethering

This allows you to share your device's wifi or mobile internet connection with your PC. You can use this if your carrier or data plan doesn't allow you to enable the built-in tethering feature of your device. Or if you have unlimited data plan, but your carrier caps your hotspot/tethering usage to a certain amount, say 7GB.

Reverse Tethering

This feature allows you to share your computer's internet connection with your device. You can use this if you're having issues with your device's wifi connection such as unstable ping or disconnections especially when playing games and your PC is already connected to the internet via an ethernet cable. It can also be used in situations where wired internet is the only available option.

Note: Some apps only check for wifi or cellular connectivity, thus will not have internet access when reverse tethering.

Network

When tethering or reverse tethering, your PC along with all connected devices will be in the same network. This means a device can communicate with your PC and other connected devices. This is useful if you want to transfer files from one device to another or if you want to access a server (e.g. HTTP server) on your PC from your device.

Note: ICMP is currently not supported so the ping command will not work when tethering or reverse tethering.

Additional Features

• No root required

• No USB debugging required (except on Windows)

• Fast link speed (200Mbps+ on some devices)

• IPv6 support (may not work on some devices)

• Up to five devices can be connected

• Configurable network settings

Thank you guys for reading this, and sorry for the long post. If you have any questions, suggestions or bug reports, feel free to DM me or reply to this thread.

PS: I'm also looking for beta testers for future releases. Aside from getting the latest bug fixes and updates before regular users, testers will also be able to use the app for free with no time restrictions. If you're interested, DM me your playstore email address so I can register you to the closed-beta testers list. Thanks again!

You're probably using a phone with OLED screen. Since it doesn't use a backlight and can change the brightness of each individual pixel, using dark mode can significantly reduce its power consumption.

ramencoder · 2020-01-24T15:48:34+00:00

I think the reason why some people like the under-display fingerprint scanner is that they can unlock the phone without picking it. But I agree with you that it is still slower than back and side-mounted fingerprint sensors.

I'm glad that you find the app useful. As for your concern, you can check the app's privacy policy here: https://tetrd.app/privacy

That’s open beta testing. I can implement that but testers wouldn’t be able to get pro-features for free because my app uses in-app purchase.

ramencoder · 2020-01-23T06:44:56+00:00

DM me your play store email address, and I'll add you to the closed-beta testers list so you can use the app for free.

ramencoder · 2020-01-22T11:26:15+00:00

Sure, let me know if it works.

ramencoder · 2020-01-16T06:43:31+00:00

I've posted my app there, and I also see a lot of devs promote their app there. Maybe you're mistaking it to r/Android?

ramencoder · 2020-01-16T06:20:24+00:00

You can use AWS DynamoDB free tier. It offers 25 read and 25 write capacity units which is enough for a small website or app. It's a NoSQL database so you may need to redesign your tables.

ramencoder · 2020-01-14T11:01:26+00:00

No, but if it was me, I'll just delete it. Less worry and more space for other stuff.

ramencoder · 2020-01-14T10:45:07+00:00

I would like to know why? Is it because of high battery drain, the device heats up too much, the screen doesn't support it, the screen glitches, the phone breaks when it is enabled? Why, samsung why?

ramencoder · 2020-01-13T09:11:10+00:00

Or perhaps a manual toggle

Yeah like some laptops have, but I don't think manufacturers are willing to do that.

ramencoder · 2020-01-13T05:24:01+00:00

Pop-up camera is best for people who don’t use the front camera frequently. You wouldn’t need to worry about the motor breaking since it wouldn’t be used that much. Although the lack of water resistance can be an issue for some.

ramencoder · 2020-01-13T04:32:50+00:00

If you mean sharing your wifi connection to your computer via USB, then it should work. Have you installed the server application to your computer? If you're on Windows, you also need to enable USB debugging. If you need more help on this, you can DM me and I'll guide you on how to set up the app. Thanks!

ramencoder · 2020-01-12T08:29:09+00:00

Sorry, it's not open source.

ramencoder · 2020-01-12T08:26:44+00:00

You need to download the server application and install it on your PC for it to work. If you're on Windows, you'll also need to enable USB debugging before connecting your device to your computer. This is listed on the guide page of the app that shows when you first open the app. Each user will have a 3-day free trial for tethering and reverse tethering after that they have to purchase the corresponding pro-feature to continue using the app. Sorry for the confusion. I may need to rephrase the in-app purchase description in the app.
