c774d6876b42e5a01b482e16834b62e5
To God be the glory, my Slim7 Nougat project finally works!

This is a very slimmed down version of Android Nougat, almost a "vanilla" experience with a few tasteful perks! By design, this ROM comes without root for those who wish to have a "pure" version without the entanglements that …

In my continued determination to complete the Android Developer course, I have been given yet another challenge by my instructor, which is to have two images, where one faded out, and the other faded in. This turned out to be really simple, but it did involve some Googling on my …

Another compiling error as I work on getting Android Nougat on the TBLTEXX/TBLTETMO Samsung Galaxy Note Edge. This time, it will not allow me to return processUnsolicited(p) as a type under "super" like so:

  2. No audio was recorded.

Well, I haven't fixed everything yet, but I was able to …
