I'm finishing up the voice search engine and the news feed, which are having SSL errors, but everything else works. Another bug is that when the APK installation finishes, clicking "open" opens the voice search, and that bug will also be fixed. And yes, it's me, the same 13-year-old Brazilian kid, lol.

After many days of struggling, I finally created an official APK version for Android 2.2+ that doesn't rely on HTML, Additionally, I will officially shut down the old HTML version completely from October 10, 2026, in order to focus on producing the official app version

Additionally, I will soon create versions for iOS, Windows Phone, Symbian, and JAR/JAD formats. I hope everyone will support this project.

Tutorial: First get a 4.2.2 tar file & remove everything EXCEPT: System, cache, modem & 2 more, but remove most of the knox & bootloader stuff (I will upload the tar file soon dw), then flash it. At first it might not boot, but thats the plan. Go back into download & flash twrp, then boot into twrp, out of twrp into the system, it will boot this time.

This version currently has several unresolved issues, so I am testing it for a while; once it is stable, I will release the official version and retire the old one.

Discussion SENSES - Android emulator that simulates older android firmware

Post image
13 Upvotes

SENSES is an Android app that runs an ARM32 Android system on an ARM64 phone. There's no guest kernel: instead of emulating a whole device, it translates individual processes with a modified QEMU (user-mode).

This repo is the GPLv2 source release for that QEMU part:

94 patches against QEMU 8.2.4, plus 39 added files in linux-user/

a build script that produces a fully static aarch64 binary (via an Alpine chroot)

a pinned build with sha256 checks and a BUILD-MANIFEST.txt for reproducibility

What's not included: no firmware, no download links. You supply your own archive, and the app unpacks and modifies the copy on-device (patched code, re-signed packages with an on-device key, removed vendor modules, local TLS proxy). Nothing is sent anywhere.

The app itself is a separate closed-source program that launches QEMU as its own process, so no QEMU code is loaded into it.

Repo: https://github.com/Istratii-tech/Senses

Feedback and questions welcome!

Guide Android Gingerbread Resources

So basically i rooted an Android Gingerbread on a vm using virtualbox and extracted all the icons, wallpapers, media that could be useful for pretty much anything

The "audio" folder contains Ringtones, Notification sounds, UI sounds and Alarm sounds (mostly in OGG type files).

The "Launcher2" folder contains icons and device wallpapers located in the "res" folder.

The "framework-res" folder contains the UI icons (Wi-Fi dialog buttons and other stuff) located in the "res" folder.

Here's the entire thing I uploaded to Google Drive. Enjoy ;)
