Dark mode on Android is still broken.

It's been a while since android had dark mode now. Apps can be set to dark mode using a system wide toggle. Simple. But gapps still haven't implemented it fully.

Wired HDMI/DisplayPort out support for any Android phone!

I've read a lot about people asking for support or having issues trying to get their phones to mirror to a TV using Chromecasts or Miralink (which is now pretty much defunct in Android anyway). Be it issues with internet connection, WiFi strength, hotel WiFi issues, etc....
