Since I’m into 3D printing, I know of this project: https://github.com/gaifeng8864/klipper-on-android

It allows an android device to run a printer that uses the klipper firmware.

Can you link to that line in the code? I’m not seeing it, nor am I seeing the Internet permission being declared in AndroidManifest.xml

Nigeria Launcher 😲

I would think a simple passive stylus for capacitive touch screens would work fine.

As an android enthusiast, who also is into the 3D printing scene, my first thought was “what does this launcher have to do with OctoPi and OctoPrint?”.

The answer, nothing… obviously. Guess it’s just an SEO and a me problem 🤪

Side loading of apps doesn’t require root 😉

There’s always the command line tools with gradle 😉

I just checked and it turns up to date on the November patch so they likely pulled it once shit started hitting the fan.

How is this Android related?

Keep in mind that a factory reset won’t put the device back on a stable release, it’s just clearing out the data for the currently installed firmware.

Snarkiest

Most likely the update will contain the boot.img which would overwrite you’re rooted kernel, assuming a rooted Samsung device still takes updates.

The carrier can look at the packets TTL and assume if it’s not what they expect then it must have originated from another device via the hotspot. Verizon did, or maybe still does, use this to throttle hotspot traffic but not data originating from the phone.

I think what’s happening is the app is using Android’s account manager to store credentials. These are part of the system and not removed when an app is uninstalled.

If this is what’s happening then you can go to “Passwords & accounts” in settings and find the account to remove. There really shouldn’t be any data left over and you shouldn’t need to clear app data and cache before uninstalling, the system takes good care of that when the app is uninstalled.
