@lyncia iirc the problem with that for me was that you need a wired adb connection to tell it to enable wireless, and that doesn't survive a reboot. so when my USB C connector failed on my pixel 2 i had to use an SSH daemon and the fact that my phone was already rooted to save myself
@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
@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.
@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'.
@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)
@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.
