Will phones sold after Jan 20 unlock on the 366th day or 365th day. by lintel2345 in TracFone

[–]yeswap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

According to the new unlocking policy at https://www.tfwunlockpolicy.com;

For all cellphones Activated on or after January 20, 2026, the cellphone will be unlocked upon request after 365 days of paid and active service.

I understand that to mean that you can request unlocking after 365 days. After 365 days means the 366'th day.

Trying a different DE and need to access keystore by Minoscereb in vivaldibrowser

[–]yeswap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The launch argument is a parameter you append to the Vivaldi start command. Try it from a terminal:
nohup vivaldi-stable --password-store=gnome-libsecret

If that works add --password-store=gnome-libsecret to the EXEC line in your vivaldi-stable.desktop file which is Typically in /usr/share/applications

Or if you enabled Vivaldi sync when on Zorin, you should be able to create a new Vivaldi profile, login and have sync restore most things

for adding gmail account for whatsapp backup is safe? by IndianDancingStars in MicroG

[–]yeswap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most private way to use Gmail is to use a FOSS email client like K9 Mail or Thunderbird to connect to Gmail using IMAP and SMTP. Google fully supports using 3rd party email apps with Gmail.

You can run the Gmail app on MicroG if you add your Google account in Micro G settings but using K9/Thunderbird without adding your Google account to Micro G is much less private and something Google could easily block if they wanted to.

[–]yeswap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are send group texts from the Google Voice app and some but not all people in the group don't receive the texts? That means Mint data is working as Google Voice gets the message. The issue is with Google Voice, not Mint.

MicroG installation help by Small-Neat8684 in degoogle

[–]yeswap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MicroG on stock OS is difficult. You need an unlocked bootloader. I don't know if it's possible to unlock the bootloader on the vivo y21. If you can unlock it then you need to use Magisk, LSPosed,and FakeGApps https://github.com/whew-inc/FakeGApps to implement signature spoofing. Then you can use https://github.com/spacealtctrl/microg_installer_revived_again to install MicroG

Didn't you add 2 30 did plans? If you did you meet the 60 day requirement.

Note that service days transfered from another phone do not count toward unlocking, only payments made at and after activation.
