I managed to get the old Android blop emojis back

Since it isn't getting updated anymore there are some missing entries, but its mostly obscure stuff anyways.

I used the app zFont 3. Riddled with ads but it worked.

I absolutely love the blops, they are such fun and dorky looking little guys. The animals are also way better, I LOVE the little tigers with their tounges hanging out and the cute frog....

ColorOS 15 to have Airdrop compatibility

According to the official site in Chinese, one of the features is showing sharing between iOS and ColorOS devices

Let's hope the other OS makers start to do the same thing so we can finally send uncompressed files between devices...

Anything interesting I can do with an old Galaxy phone?

I found an old Samsung Galaxy A03S on the side of the road while on a run a couple of weeks ago. There was no password and I tried reaching out to the owner a couple times via the email and phone number listed as the owner on the device, but they never reached back out.

Is there anything interesting I could do with it other than just recycling it? I’ve been an iPhone user my entire life, so don’t know much about Android. Thanks!...

I've noticed a concerning trend with some Android manufacturers starting to restrict bootloader unlocking, which limits users' ability to install custom ROMs. Recently, I’ve seen Realme disable bootloader unlocking on certain devices, which seems like a step backward for Android’s ethos of being open and customizable.

This raises a broader question: Are we seeing the beginning of the end for true Android freedom? As enthusiasts, we've long appreciated Android's flexibili...
