Progress update: Seamless Linux VMs and containers for Pixel 6/7
While hesitant at first, I ended up getting a Pixel 7 Pro earlier this month. I noticed that KVM is enabled by default, making it possible to run virtual machines without root.This discovery led me to start working on a new app for developers and power users that makes it easy to run Linux VMs on the Pixel 7 without worrying about the details. It's similar to Termux but more powerful and flexible, and if you're familiar with WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) or Linux on Chrome OS (Crostini), this is a very similar concept: instead of ...
Exclusive preview: PhantomAmp · rootless audio DSP effects
PhantomAmp is a proof-of-concept app for audio effects on Android. It's more like Viper/JamesDSP than other rootless equalizer apps because it processes audio with a custom DSP engine that supports effects such as custom FIR convolver filters (not currently working), parametric equalizer, and IIR/FIR equalizer, without root or system mods. It can theoretically be extended to support any effect, rather than being limited to a few basic effects provided by Android.PhantomAmp also supports applying audio-coupled haptics/vibration effects (Hapt...

Update on Patreon releases and ProtonAOSP 13
Alright, time to address the elephant in the room: ProtonAOSP and Android 13.First of all: I'm sorry for the silence. I get distracted easily and had to shift my focus and priorities urgently last month due to external deadlines and personal plans I’m running very behind on. I was also working a full-time internship, and I'll busy with quite a bit of important non-development work for the next few months as well. So unfortunately, I can't guarantee that it'll be much better in the near future.Rough timelines for Patreon if all...
