I'm looking to optimize this phone with what they call Lineage OS; but I think it depends of the exact model you have, and the less popular models don't get much support. Do I have options? (I'm looking to buy another phone but while I don't have the money I will have to make this work out)

I have carried this phone solo for 2 days now and she does everything but her battery needs some recharge in late afternoon.

I am not done determining the best combination of browser and stand alone apps to do everything my other phones do and so far Netflix seems to be the only thing that does not work.

My best process for apps for this phone has been has been to use apk mirror on my computer which allows me to search an extensive set of older app versions (easily) and download the apk and then transfer to my phone's microsd card for installation. By far Firefox (opera mini works but less well) seems to be the best choice for accessing many things in place of the dedicated app (amazon, ebay) but some older versions of apps work just fine (audible), it's a mixed road to success.

Is there any way to fix Google Earth on this little toaster? Basically need.a proxy and a Url know what the comments are going to say: probably no. So why not try to attempt to?

At least, I have old games on it. Also, ignore the wallpaper :)

I'm using my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0!

With the introduction of these 17 Versions of Android, We've seen many versions that have met below and above our expectations. This Megathread arguably is all about finding the Best Android version in its timeline and which one brought the biggest change.

~yup its a screenshot from bugdroid.org

Rules

• Make sure you answer based on the timeline of that particular Android version rather than just biasing your answer based on the best features and visuals in all android versions so far
• Keep in mind Latest isn't always the Best.
• Make sure to justify your answer with reasons
• A photo in your answer's theme would be nice

So people didnt like that I used Android 2 icons for my Android 4 recreation. So heres an improved version with the right icons.

If you want a tutorial on how to do this, check my profile and look for a post titled "HOW TO MAKE YOUR PHONE LOOK LIKE ANDROID 4"

Hi! I just wanted to share my current state of my samsung collection on each android version. Currently I am missing only 12, 13 and 15 (I have samsung galaxy s25 on 16). Also I got my hands on vroken samsung galaxy a51, a21s and a12 so sooner or later I will fix them. I can't believe that I got hands on the i7500 on android 1.6 donut (which is the only phone from samsung to ever get the 1.6 update). Also I have MANY phones with some of these versions so I only choose the best I have from each android version. Wanna hear your opinion on this!

List:

Cupcake: spica i7500

Donut: original galaxy i7500

Eclair: s1 i9000

Froyo: tab 7.0 p1000

Gingerbread: s2 i9100

Honeycomb: tab 8.9 lte p7320

ICS: trend s7560

Jellybean: note 1 n7000

Kitkat: mega 6.3 i9205

Lollipop: note 3 n9005

Marshmallow: A7 2015 A700f

Nougat: a5 2016 a510f

Oreo: J7 2016 j710fn

Pie: j5 2017 j530f

10 Queencake: J6+ j610fn

11 red velvet: A40 a405f

14 upside down cake: A52s a528b

16 baklava: my s25 s931b

So apparently i bougt an ace 2 which packed with both Android 2.3.6 gingerbread and 4.1.2 jellybean and since i have another 4.1.2 device,i thought it would be cool to try what i can do with that so here is the results:

Note:This is only a guide for tech geeks who wants to enjoy their vintage phones none of the things which i dropped the link below is belong to me use them on your own risk

The first one,without a doubt is the most important one:browser

For browser i picked opera mini but people recommended me Firefox and it is indeed better.The latest version that supports 2.3.6 is 47.0 it does support showing images unlike opera mini

Here is the link:https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/mozilla/firefox/firefox-47-0-release/firefox-47-0-2-android-apk-download/

Firefox tends to crash on some devices so here is the link for opera mini 20.0.2254.110284: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/opera-software-asa/opera-mini/opera-mini-fast-web-browser-20-0-2254-110284-release/opera-mini-fast-web-browser-20-0-2254-110284-android-apk-download/

Second one is Youtube.You read that right even though most people think there is absolutely no way to use YouTube there is an alternative:NotPipe

Here is the link:https://github.com/gohoski/notpipe

Third is AI,a person whose username is YMP Yuri made an unofficial gemini client called ReOldAi for 2.3+ which seems to work fine but there are something you need to do more than downloading the app check the installation process

Here is the link:https://github.com/YMP-CO/ReOldAi

So of course without games you wouldnt enjoy using a phone so here is another thread for game archive for 2.3.6:https://www.reddit.com/r/androidafterlife/s/YzQzs02lpi

Another game platform is emulators of course here is the link for ppsspp-psp emulator,if you never Heard of ppsspp you do now:https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/henrik-rydgrd/ppsspp-psp-emulator/ppsspp-psp-emulator-1-19-3-release/ppsspp-psp-emulator-1-19-3-4-android-apk-download/

Well we have a social Media app youre probably guessing its Facebook but you would be wrong because we have discord.Its not an native APK app but rather a Java app using your discord token and a Java emulator you are able to log in and use discord but theres a chance to get banned so use with caution its explained more detailed in this thread

Here is the link:https://www.reddit.com/r/androidafterlife/s/wjwvMnCURC

For reddit idk if there is an app but u can use https://old.reddit.com

For Facebook,just use the web

İf you want to log in Google account and even tho idk what you will do with that here is another thread you must check out:https://www.reddit.com/r/androidafterlife/s/RorEjBK3YS

For other social Media apps such as telegram,WhatsApp and Instagram there is no solution for now and thats it.Enjoy using your bum old phone

Number 1: Samsung galaxy tab 4 10.1 inch
