>The European Union will ban apps not licensed by Google under its new age verification system, which has been met with controversy. Set for pilot testing across five member states in 2025, the app threatens to eliminate alternative Android ecosystems.

>The EU's age verification initiative requires Google's Play Integrity API for security verification. This means apps from F-Droid, Aurora Store, or sideloaded installations face elimination.

#EU's new cybersecurity rules will impact #Android starting August 1, 2025. #Bootloader unlocking will likely be banned, limiting user control and custom ROM installations. #Samsung has already removed this feature in OneUI 8. A major shift for Android in Europe!"

This is clickbait. There is no clause requiring to block bl unlock. There is stuff such as check to make sure updates are secure.
Samsung did remove it because they suck, but this wasn't a legal requirement.
#bootloader unlock wall of shame

https://github.com/melontini/bootloader-unlock-wall-of-shame

updated guide, check it before buying a #phone

Over the past few years, a suspicious number of companies have started to "take care of your data", aka block/strictly limit your ability to unlock the bootloader on your own devices.

While this may not affect you directly, it sets a bad precedent. You never know what will get the axe next: Shizuku? ADB? Sideloading? I thought it might be a good idea to keep track of bad companies and workarounds.

ChatterUI - A simple app for LLMs

https://github.com/Vali-98/ChatterUI

https://t.me/chatterui

ChatterUI is a native mobile frontend for LLMs.
Run LLMs on device or connect to various commercial or open source APIs. ChatterUI aims to provide a mobile-friendly interface with fine-grained control over chat structuring.

Features:
Run LLMs on-device in Local Mode
Connect to various APIs in Remote Mode
Chat with characters. (Supports the Character Card v2 specification.)
Create and manage multiple chats per character.
Customize Sampler fields and Instruct formatting
Integrates with your device’s text-to-speech (TTS) engine

Usage
Download and install latest APK from the releases page.
iOS is Currently unavailable due to lacking iOS hardware for development

Local Mode
ChatterUI uses a llama.cpp under the hood to run gguf files on device. A custom adapter is used to integrate with react-native: cui-llama.rn
To use on-device inferencing, first enable Local Mode, then go to Models > Import Model / Use External Model and choose a gguf model that can fit on your device's memory. The importing functions are as follows:
Import Model: Copies the model file into ChatterUI, potentially speeding up startup time.
Use External Model: Uses a model from your device storage directly, removing the need to copy large files into ChatterUI but with a slight delay in load times.
After that, you can load the model and begin chatting!
Note: For devices with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and above or Exynos 2200+, it is recommended to use the Q4_0 quantization for optimized performance.

Remote Mode
Remote Mode allows you to connect to a few common APIs from both commercial and open source projects.

Open Source Backends:
koboldcpp
text-generation-webui
Ollama

Dedicated API:
OpenAI
Claude (with ability to use a proxy)
Cohere
Open Router
Mancer
AI Horde

Generic backends:
Generic Text Completions
Generic Chat Completions
These should be compliant with any Text Completion/Chat Completion backends such as Groq or Infermatic.

Custom APIs:
Is your API provider missing? ChatterUI allows you to define APIs using its template system.

⚡️No Anonymous Apps: Google Bans Sideloading by 2027

#Google just announced that starting in 2027, Android users will no longer be able to sideload apps anonymously. Developers will have to hand over their personal identity and app signing keys to Google — giving the company complete control over which apps can run on “certified” Android devices.

This is about more than “malware.” It’s a direct strike at open-source apps that threaten Google’s monopoly and a way to choke out any tool that could disrupt Big Tech’s grip on communication.

The tech independence movement is growing — and Google’s response shows they see it as a threat.

#Android's Nova #Launcher's Sad End: Founder Says Development Is Over

https://www.androidheadlines.com/2025/09/nova-launcher-future-end-founder-leaves.html

It’s a sad day for anyone who loves customizing their Android phone‘s home screen. The founder and original developer of Nova Launcher, Kevin Barry, has officially parted ways with the project. This move, which marks the end of an era for one of Android’s most iconic apps, has left the future of the beloved Nova Launcher in serious doubt.

For years, Nova Launcher has been the go-to app for Android enthusiasts. It was famous for its incredible speed, endless customization options, and consistent updates. But things changed in 2022 when the analytics firm Branch acquired Nova. At the time, Branch assured the community that the original team would remain in control. The firm also claimed that development would continue as usual. There was even a public commitment to eventually open-source the launcher’s code if the team ever left.

Nova Launcher founder confirms he’s leaving the project
Fast forward to today, and that vision has seemingly unraveled. Kevin Barry recently announced that he has left Branch and is no longer involved with Nova. His statement revealed a particularly tough journey: for the past year, he had been the sole developer on the project. Even more disheartening, he had spent months preparing to open-source Nova Launcher—a move long promised to the community—but was ultimately asked by Branch to stop his efforts.

This news spells the end of Nova Launcher as we know it. While the app will continue to function on your phone for now, it is unlikely to receive any new features or updates. As Google releases new versions of Android, the launcher may eventually struggle to keep up.

For the community that has supported Nova for over a decade, this is a real disappointment. It’s a reminder of what can happen when a larger corporate structure absorbs a grassroots passion project. While the legacy of Nova Launcher’s speed and customization will live on, it seems its development story has come to an unceremonious close.

How to run #ADB and #fastboot in #Termux without root to unlock #bootloader, run ADB commands, remove #bloatware, flash ROM, or even root another #Android

https://www.mobile-hacker.com/2025/06/16/how-to-run-adb-and-fastboot-on-a-non-rooted-android-smartphone-using-termux/:

1. It supports debloating of various manufacturers and mobile carriers such as LG, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, Realme, Vivo, ZTE, OnePlus, Nokia, Sony, Asus, Google, Fairphone, Motorola, Tecno, Unihertz.
2. Full access to the app’s private storage — including databases, tokens, cached credentials, config files, or even offline user data.
3. Another common issue in AndroidManifest.xml is this flag: When enabled (which it is by default unless explicitly disabled), Android allows the app’s private data to be backed up via ADB — again, even on non-rooted devices.

Android, use termux-adb command instead of adb

Universal Android Debloater Next Generation

https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater-next-generation

This is a detached fork of the UAD project, which aims to improve privacy and battery performance by removing unnecessary and obscure system apps. This can also contribute to improving security by reducing (but not eliminating) the attack surface. Read the wiki for more details on getting started. Whilst UAD-ng can remove system apps, it cannot detect or remove potentially malicious system services or drivers baked into the firmware of your device by various vendors; some vendor-specific apps are only UI front-ends to vendor-provided system services, and as such disabling/uninstalling those apps will not stop a service from running. Additional information can be found in package descriptions inside the Universal Android Debloater Next Generation application.
