Hi everyone,
N00b, er new user here, venturing into phone modding for the first time because my kid "needs" Google Chat to connect to his friends, but the phone we have has only 512Mb RAM and won't run anything past Android 4.4 (Kit Kat) so I'm here to look for solutions.
Last I touched code, it was block code on code.org and many many years before that I was programming on Watcom Pascal terminals in HS. That should set my age bracket quite nicely.
So, I'm not a coder, but I know my way around a computer keyboard and forum and my google-fu is decent, so I have confidence that I'll get thoroughly confused but manage to find answers in the end.

In other areas of my life, I teach elementary school, knit, bike and practice Buddhism pretty seriously (5 precepts since November 2019, informally longer than that).

Yena#2573 on Discord where I spend waaay too much time.

Hi, I'm just some random highschooler guy who has too many old devices to mess with (old laptops and phones are particularly abundant). Came here after I got interested in modding an old phone I got and also after I realized I needed a reply to properly thank the person who answered my question lol

Hi. Total noob here, just getting into the world of programming/coding/development etc. I'm between a "barely know enough to get the terminology halfway right" and "knows just enough to be be dangerous... To his own devices health and wellbeing" have only bricked 1 phone so far though, 0 successful roots (self taught without reading the guides doesn't help with that) finally admitted to myself this is not just "the correct answer will be obvious" type of thing so take me to school! Lol.

In all seriousness ive lurked for a while, time to get involved and learn from those willing to share the knowledge.

Thanks in advance!

I actually read this forum a lot before I had to register to ask for help after bricking my Huawei p10 plus.
BTW can the logo be updated? lol

 

[jschinsky]

Howdy, all!. Thanks for letting me join. I'm likewise a total noob, but now that I'm retired I have found myself very interested in app development, too.

I'm still very, very new to this, and as one of my first tasks, I'm trying to figure out how to reverse the x-axis on an Android tablet. I had to replace the touch screen for reasons too humiliating to get into, and the new screen works great -- just functionally backwards on the left-to-right axis. The display is fine -- it's purely the the touch screen (left is right, and right is left). I downloaded ADB, was able to get my tablet to show up, but after than I couldn't figure out how to get "inside" of the thing and see if there was a way to change the x-values. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
