@lyncia also ashell

@theotheroracle ashell my beloved

@theotheroracle shizuku :D

@wyatt huh ive rebooted and not lost wireless adb permissions

i have a quick setting tile to toggle it even. perhaps a newer android function

@wyatt oh pixel 2 gosh I need to read slower

@lyncia yeah i have a 9 now that i still haven't fully moved to because getting all my old crap working on it was so annoying for the reasons you described

@wyatt the only old apps ive had to do this with are old games so far.

better than it not being possible at all i suppose but still a little irritating

@lyncia my launcher of choice, my old adobe air game builds that i made for myself for random flash games, a rotation-forcing program, a volume control program, a sound recorder, a calculator emulator, nd several other things I'm forgetting right now.

@wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe @lyncia@social.pixie.town which launcher do you use

@tauon @lyncia ADW launcher from old cyanogenmod

@wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe @lyncia@social.pixie.town oh that looks nice

@tauon @lyncia it is very nice, although the backgrounds have been breaking as phone resolution climbs higher and higher, so i had to add some padding and do clever ninjutsu to make it look acceptable.
Setting the screen resolution lower with the 'wm' command can also help.

btw the shell command for the menu button is 'input keyevent 82'.

@wyatt @tauon graph 89, nice

@lyncia @tauon i like the ti-89, although my favourite calc is the hp-28s so far.
i have both physically.
unfortunately the closest emulator i've found on android is for hp-48 (a close relative with a worse key layout)

@wyatt @tauon such capable calculators tbh

@wyatt @tauon ti calcs that is

@lyncia @tauon agreed, both are, i am continually impressed.
sometimes it feels like actual magic

@wyatt @tauon the things ive seen done on the 84 plus alone are stunning

@lyncia @tauon 84 is much less impressive for the typical mathematical calculation purposes, but for people exploiting it i agree

@tauon @lyncia (if you try it note that some functionality (the main settings page) is hidden behind the now-removed menu key, so you'll have to send that keycode over adb to get into the settings screen. Once it's all set up though you don't have to keep doing it so that's fine.

@wyatt wait are we on the pixel fucking 9 already what the fuck

@lyncia i was shocked too.
it was a gift i didn't ask for, i was fine on my 4 :\
