So, in the continuing saga of learning about Bluetooth, I am breaking down some transmissions of Bluetooth signal from my Android phone to the Bluetooth auto start that I built.
Some people who have been using the video tutorials have requested this, so I am posting a link here for making your own kernel zip file. Download the linked file, unzip it, and you will have everything you need for making a flash-able kernel zip file, to use in TWRP …
WaveUp is by far one of the handiest tools you can add to your Android arsenal! I've used this app for over a year now, and I love it! It's like playing Jedi mind tricks on your phone! You can turn your screen on and off, simply by a wave …

I've been putting together a video series about how to compile custom Android Roms and Kernels. Of course, I'm doing it all from my Linux box, and it's really pretty easy with the great tools available.
