A while back my brother gave me a SanDisk Sansa. It's a great little music player about the size of a zippo lighter. In and of itself, that would be pretty cool, but in this case he stepped it up a notch by not only giving me the gift, but …

I don't usually re-post something that someone else figured out, but it took me a long time to figure this out, so I thought I would share here.

The problem I had was relating to Android Studio and the emulator. I was using the emulator to test out various programs …

Lately I've been amusing myself in my spare time by learning how to make a chess engine. I don't want anyone to think that I came up with this on my own, I'm taking a tutorial through Youtube videos by a man called Logic Crazy. Be sure to check out …

I was really excited as an Android developer (probably an insult to real Android app makers, but I try...) when I heard about MechDome. If you read any of my earlier posts about MechDome, you can see that it is a really neat converter, which takes your finished APK, and …

As may be evident by the name of the blog, as well as my username, I live in Alaska. Alaska is a really big state. Alaska also has relatively poor cell phone coverage, in my opinion. Often when driving around, I will loose signal, drop calls, or even have no …

So, round one of building Android Oreo. Specifically giving an early try for SlimRoms and OmniRom, both of which have started an Oreo build system. Obviously, anything at this stage is a pre-alpha, more or less just a rebranded AOSP build. Still, it's fun to check it out and see …

I've been spending some free time having fun and testing out a text adventure game by the Quiet Learner, called Dr. Theobold, written in PicoLisp. The problem I found though, was that I am not often at my main computer, where I have PicoLisp installed. I needed a solution to …

Ah, the continuing saga of the far far away dream of building OmniRom Nougat for the LG G4. Yet again, another set of errors:

[CODE]
system/qcom/softap/sdk/qsap.c:705: error: undefined reference to 'wifi_start_fstman'
system/qcom/softap/sdk/qsap.c:714: error: undefined reference to 'wifi_stop_fstman'
system …

Ah, OmniRom. Yes, I am still working on it. Hopefully you are not getting tired of these errors, but I find it helpful to log them here, and hopefully others will also. Previously, we looked at ways to use \<add-resource> to add functions into a rom, but here we are …
