Here is a backup of the stock firmware for the CAT S42G super partition. It is gzipped to compress it from 8 GB down to 1.4 GB. I took this backup after doing a fresh wipe of the phone, so it is stock and clean. Make sure you unzip …
From my previous posts, you can see that I am enjoying the journey of trying to build a custom ROM for the CAT S42G cell phone. In particular, I am building LineageOS 19.1, because that is the version that matches the OTA update that I pulled and extracted with …

In case you didn't catch that, don't feel bad, I didn't either. It is French for "Endgame problem". The rest of the issue on the tracker went like this: "Quand il n'y a plus que les deux rois, la partie ne s'arrête pas." Which translates to "When there are only …
I haven't worked on the JustChess app in about 5 years. However, I was recently made aware that there was a custom ROM, named DivestOS, which suggested my old app as a good open source chess playing app. Unfortunately, when I left off working on this app 5 years ago …
