I've had a project in mind for a while to make available an up-to-date Android handset tuned towards development of system/privileged use cases. With options for GMS and/or AOSP as the base, and an intentionally simple process to escalate application privs to enable in-house development, ...

Built a technical POC for message archiving based on Android Enterprise APIs (via Google Messages). Includes individual message backup, CSV export, and media export aligned to message ID, all up to a Directus instance. Pretty happy with this! #android #androidenterprise #messages #backup #mdm #emm

I pushed a few improvements to the system apps database recently, making filtering a lot more reliable 💪 bayton.org/android/andr... If you're feeling generous, and/or feel this is a project you might use in future, submitting system apps from a device takes under 5 minutes ⏱️ #androidenterprise

Personally not a fan of the microwaved taste you get with this. Oven heating is a better choice.

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

😱 My Fairphone 4 stopped accepting a USB cable last week. The connector had broken away from its little modular PCB, and that was the end of that; it was all loosey-goosey in there 🪿 Because it's a Fairphone the part I need to get it up and running again was but a few clicks and a UPS van away 🚚

A few months ago I shipped a bug that broke a feature that users hit at app launch. When fixing it, I added a feature flag to disable that feature entirely if needed. I had to use that feature flag today. Use feature flags, my friends.

I've asked this over on the Mobile Pros Discord (discord.gg/76nqpQPKwH) also, but in case anyone else in #androiddevelopers happens to know.. How can I show the date of the latest Google Play System Updates (Mainline) in an app? I can determine when a new SMR arrives, but GPSU isn't surfaced?

These sites are the worst. Drawing folks in with a bit of web scraping and hoping they'll make money off of it. I chose many years ago to publicise my contact details on bayton.org/contact. If someone feels the urge to reach out to me, it's always there.

Did you hear? Google's revamp of the build system has reset the dessert naming convention, with 16's codename going all the way back to B, for Baklava. We'll have to wait another 21 releases to see what W could have been. The betrayal. #android #androidenterprise

Entirely split between here and Mastodon. Neither platform has any following, I just can't settle on a network outside of my primary (LinkedIn) to start something. Threads was interesting for a minute, but now it's just text-instagram so 🤷

I got access to Beeper (www.beeper.com) after almost a year on the waitlist. It's an experience. It's weirdly slightly overwhelming to see *everything* in one place at first, but gets better. I'm still not 100% in on it just yet, but it seems promising.
