hello. my daily driver phone is a 2013 LG G2. it's my favorite device and i intend to use it as long as i can.

unfortunately, 3G services are ending soon in my region. this device is 4G/LTE capable and even supports VoLTE on the stock firmware, however with a (AOSP-based) custom rom, VoLTE is non functional. data network and sms works with 4G, but calls switch to 3G.

to keep it functional as a phone, right now my only choice is to install the stock rom. unfortunately the stock rom is terrible compared to lineageos. latest stock rom is at 5.0.1 lollipop and is poorly optimized, has ram leakage issue that needs reboot every few days or so. i'll have to install 4.4.2 kitkat to use it well, and that means saying goodbye to all modern apps...

recently i've seen some people make VoLTE work by reverse engineering the IMS(?). such as LG V30, LG V50, LG V60, Samsung Galaxy S9/S20/S23.

while these are all newer than my device, at least there's an example unlike just a few years ago. since my device is older than when AOSP started officially having VoLTE support i suppose my device's implementation would significantly differ, though i hope it's similar to those newer LG devices.

thus i'm looking into developing IMS for my device's lineageos, any pointers are appreciated. thanks.

hi. i'm looking for an extremely simple selfhosted photo gallery software. i have photos from my laptop, a camera, and my phone. they are all rsync'ed onto my server. so on the server I have ~/Pictures/Laptop ~/Pictures/Camera ~/Pictures/Phone filled with JPEG/PNG/HEICs and no subdirectories.

i want to view photos from all three directories on a single timeline/feed, from the web (and if possible, via a mobile app). currently I VNC onto the server to run XnView and check each directory and this is a terrible user experience especially on a phone.

i don't want to run a separate database or anything complex, so things like Immich or Photoprism are not an option. would be nice to be able to assign a tag to some images ("work", "computer", ...) but it's not a necessity. and i don't need the ability to edit/remove images from the gallery.

i've considered rolling my own solution but thought there might be something already available.

thanks!

hi. i'm looking for a good launcher to use on my tablet. has a 10inch 2000x1200 screen and runs lineageos 18.1 (android 11).

right now i just use the default launcher trebuchet. it's fine, but i don't like how the app drawer works (animations..) and how there's little customization options.

can't really describe what i'm looking for, please just share the launcher you use. i'm fine with non-FOSS if they work nicely.

thanks!

it seems to be mostly LLM generated/vibeshit, but it kinda works. pretty buggy though. it fetches reddit's json api and renders it onto layout based on old.reddit's one.

the addon on addons.mozilla.org says it requires firefox 143, but after changing minimum version requirement on manifest.json it seems to work just fine on firefox 140.13.0 esr. also, the README says it needs a logged-in session, but it works for me without logging in.

had to post this (from ToHeart(1999) ep01)

google search results are still kind of useful especially for non-english language queries, anyone knows a good alternative?

searxng also doesn't really seem to work these days..

hello. i'm a happy user of lemmy.today.

i've always used the mlmym frontend available on old.lemmy.today, it generally works well enough. however, there are some minor minor bugs and missing features. (e.g. impossible to navigate to next page when viewing saved posts, impossible to see down/upvotes separated)

i recently came across this fork of mlmym (from this github issue) and it seems to have all those bugs fixed. can we replace the current mlmym with this fork?

thanks for reading

just wanted to share this app i found recently

after setting up freshrss some weeks ago i've been looking for an app to use on my phone. tried numerous apps listed on freshrss's readme but none of them was to my liking sadly.

then i found this app and it works extremely well, even on my ancient 2013 phone there's practically no loading, the gesture's extremely smooth, and everything just works. compatible with android 2.1(!) and newer according to f-droid, but sadly it's been abandoned by its author since 2020. for now i guess it's okay since it works fine though..
