Right, I forgot to mention that’s possible too!
Thanks for mentioning SunVox, which sent me down a rabbithole of a multitude of interesting software from the same developer. I have even played with the one called PhonoPaper maybe 8 years ago, without knowing of all the other projects! There are many music-related apps, and also PixiVisor that transmits video over audio, which I find fascinating for visual DSP. Seems like next-level SSTV, and would be fun to try over radio - like a LoFi TV signal!
Unfortunately, it seems that the Android versions of most/all(?) of the projects are outdated, and not supported on my phone’s newer version of Android, but other versions probably still work on different OSs.
The SunVox library for developers (rather than just the JS-based player) seems very interesting to me. If I’m not misunderstanding, it could be used to build some interesting custom browser-based synth GUIs, or behind the scenes for playing live adaptive and/or generative game music+FX. I’ll definitely be looking into that sometime, though so far I’ve only been scratching the surface of software development, but with the help of LLMs I have recently been able to prototype some interesting ideas (music-based games too!) that seemed totally out of my reach before that.
Feel free to let me know if you ever get around to doing something along the lines of what you were describing. Sounds like a (more) straightforward way of using SunVox to reduce the game size.
Guaranteed 3 years of OS updates while 5 years of security updates for most Pixel phones. The recently released Pixel 8 and 8 Pro are exceptions with 7 years of each. Source: Google
I like Lineages take of bringing new life to “old” yet still great devices too!
Oh, I think I misunderstood your comment. I thought what you said was that after installing GrapheneOS, you wouldn’t receive firmware updates from Google. What you actually said was, correct me if I’m wrong, that GrapheneOS will only be able to release updates for a device as long as Google itself does so, because they’re based on Google’s updates, right? Does this mean that other custom ROMS that are based on a different approach will be able to keep releasing updates for a device after Google stops at “EoL” after 7 years?
Let me just add, if you for some reason like the UI of Aurora Store, there’s a FOSS equivalent called Aurora Droid, which includes on the same repositories as F-Droid and Droid-ify instead of Google Play.
On a sidenote, if you want to keep single apps up-to-date from a github repo, or even F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid etc. without installing an actual app store, use Obtainium.
I found this site, pakphones.com with a link for the US730. Right now, unfortunately, cloudflare can’t reach the ul.to host, but if you haven’t tried this one, one could hope it actually works some day.
I also found a (possibly dead) link at this site, lg-firmwares.com, though it’s cookie, captcha and waiting time protected, and the download doesn’t begin for me right now…
Your search string also lead me to this forum thread, where I found a relevant filename to look for: LG730ZV8_05.S8_00.P61009.cab
This lead me back to the pakphones blog, where I found these (possibly dead) links to relevant files on this page:
You have probably already seen all or most of this, but maybe there’s some missing puzzle piece somewhere in this information?
Note: the .cab files mentioned in this post are not URLs, even though (at least my) Lemmy client formats them as that.
