ROM scene. Where? (lemmings.world)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

It's been a while since I was into unlocking and ROMing my devices, but I've got the itch again.

XDA used to be a good place, but... I hope I'm out of there loop or something, because it's almost a ghost town compared to years ago.

I've got us carrier unlocked devices; OnePlus N10 and N20, Moto G7Power.

@Benjamin Telegram. They all moved to fucking telegram.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Which is ridiculous. Can't audit code.

Easy way to get accounts stolen, too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

@Benjamin oh there are other reasons not to use it

(full disclosure: that is my document, I maintain and update it)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

My isp blocked that link. Never saw it. 🤷‍♂️

@Benjamin the wha-

okay here's an unshortened one

I usually share the shortened one because cryptpad links tend to be large

Oh man... Why... Arg

I do actually have an account there. How could I go about completely removing it?

And I need to look into Matrix... Totally clueless.

While you were typing this, I found another post by another user to the same document.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

@Benjamin account removal can be done on https://my.telegram.org if I recall right.

Also...someone OTHER THAN ME linked this? That's rare

Matrix is currently in a bit of a weird place as funding is low. Its alright, but dont expect Telegram-level UX. Element is also re-making their mobile apps as part of Element X.

👀

Mastodon isn't Lemmy, is it? 🤦‍♂️

I found a link to a mastodon thread... And upon much closer inspection, I do believe that's you over there, too.

I'm apparently very ignorant on this. Lemmy... Mastodon... Matrix...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

@Benjamin they're all connected :)

I'm writing to you from mastodon (hence all my replies start by pinging you)

Lemmy does format some things in lemmy-specific ways, but other than that all our posts can be viewed anywhere, and I can slap any lemmy thread into my mastodon UI to reply to whoever I want

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Are you serious? 😳🤦‍♂️😓

I was on Mastodon originally, but the app I was beta testing was a Lemmy client, so I made a new account (my Mastodon creds didn't work)

Methinks I should find a new app. Arg.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

@Benjamin

No I am not saying accounts are portable, but the content is. Your mastodon app has no idea how to handle Lemmy, and your Lemmy app has no idea how to handle Mastodon

BUT the servers that you're signing up to? They know how to share the content between eachother. That is because they all use the ActivityPub standard to exchange posts and account data.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

So Lemmy and Mastodon connect to the same content, but different log in servers?

Do I need to do anything to see those other people?

Oh boy, I've got a lot to learn.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

@Benjamin its basically automatic e-mail in the sense that it doesn't matter what e-mail provider you're on but you can still contact each other across mail providers

Here you can substitute mail providers with social media platforms, and it happens ✨automagically✨, without anyone doing anything

To put this into perspective, I see hundreds of posts that aren't by people that signed up on wetdry.world on my home feed, and I can still interact with them, yet wetdry.world is my home.

Maybe the little explanation video on https://fediverse.info helps

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Email. That helped immensely.

Gmail can mail Yahoo, but Yahoo can't directly see my Gmail account name, unless we directly interact first.

I think that sums it up.

So I can use either "CLIENT" to communicate across the Fediverse, but my credentials only work on the server I created them at.

I think I got it. I'm watch the link later👍

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You could just try searching for ROMs and going to their git page or website and get a guide on how to install specific ROM. I recommend Lineage OS since it's the one I used for two~three years and because it doesn't come with Google shenanigans

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, if I had a Pixel or something, sure.

But I haven't found anything for my OnePlus N10...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Strange there are some on the XDA but unofficial.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

To me it seems to be a bit more active than it used to be. Even my unpopular ultra budget Redmi from 4 years ago got a couple of A14 roms this year.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Many of them are on Telegram. Try looking for the groups by device name.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I have two Xiaomi devices and use custom roms for both of them. While there are pages for them in the XDA forums, most of the new updates and developments of custom roms and kernels, at least for Xiaomi devices, happens within telegram groups.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Craze of custom rom is almost over now due to manufacturers bullshit

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't a craze, it was an attempt to make the devices usable in most cases.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Raises hand in cheap but very usable hardware that only gets one major update
