No you can setup everything (models and db migrations) with code, no need to use the gui, it's just here for "convienence" if you want it

Re:Linux: Ext4 data corruption in 6.1.64-1 on Sunday December 10, 2023 @02:21PM (#38594071)
I also manually upgraded yesterday (bad luck, just a few hours after the update) and just now reverted to the previous kernel. Not sure this was the right thing to do but didn't want to take any chances
Re:XXH: Bring your favorite shell wherever you go through the SSH on Wednesday December 15, 2021 @02:27AM (#29563025)
Nice, I did a similar hack some time ago: pack your favorites functions/aliases in b64, unpack and do some mkfifo on the server, write that fifo path to ENV, and call "exec bash --posix". zsh and ksh also work, as they also have some options relying on ENV.
Re:MIDI 2.0 Prototyping announced on Saturday January 19, 2019 @07:13AM (#18946636)
They wrote 32 bits on the website (against 7 in the current spec)
probably like explained here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8073803/android-multi-tou...

but imho, given they already downgraded the behavior in 4.0, this is really looking like a security hole that might be closed in a next Android release.

Another project in the same vein: http://dan.drown.org/android/

Re:How to speed up the Android Emulator by up to 400% on Tuesday October 11, 2011 @01:41PM (#3099517)
At Google I/O, the sdk team said it was coming in the next months (along with GPU support), but the downside was that KVM is not readily available outside linux
"They make money on selling Google Apps, Maps service, etc to manufacturers and carriers."

Would love a source on this... AFAIK Google never publicly said Android Trademark and Google Apps were not free (apart from the obligation to pass the CTS test suite)

I'm not an Android expert, but I think many libraries (browser, sms, phone, etc.) are basically kernel/baseband dependent (To make an hardware accelerated browser means modified GPU drivers, means new/updated kernel features, etc.), so it's almost impossible to provide an unified build of some apps on current devices (Gtalk video available only on 2.3.4 also comes to mind)
except the Samsung Wave, running on Bada and similary looking to the iPhone is not cited in the lawsuit...
