<matthewcroughan_> What file manager do y'all use?
<matthewcroughan_> I hate android so much :V

<danielrf[m]> matthewcroughan_: This is what I use: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.simplemobiletools.filemanager.pro/
<danielrf[m]> although I don't find myself using it often
<matthewcroughan_> danielrf[m]: I just found RCX, it is what I've been searching for, for years.
<matthewcroughan_> Does literally everything and is fully open source.
<matthewcroughan_> ya
<danielrf[m]> that does look very nice!
<matthewcroughan_> danielrf[m] So with Robotnix, theoretically if someone else got LineageOS to compile, should I be able to compile it too?
<matthewcroughan_> You know, just by modifying URLs?
<matthewcroughan_> I really want this so that I can bake in APKs and unscrew my configuration.
<danielrf[m]> Which URLs were you thinking of?
<danielrf[m]> But generally yes, the robotnix configuration should be reproducible across machines
<matthewcroughan_> I'm not really understanding what he did to build this hah
<danielrf[m]> For unofficial devices, there'd likely be some effort involved to make it work in robotnix
<matthewcroughan_> Well, what would be the first step?
<danielrf[m]> The reproducibility guarantee is more about, once someone has a working robotnix configuration and shares it, anyone else should be able to reproduce that
<matthewcroughan_> Yeah, that is of course what I want to do
<danielrf[m]> I'm working on some documentation now about this topic
<matthewcroughan_> <3
<matthewcroughan_> Like a sort of porting guide?
<danielrf[m]> Yep, at least some basic instructions for things I think are likely that someone would have to do
<danielrf[m]> of course there's so much variation in the android ecosystem, I can't cover all possibilities
<matthewcroughan_> Yeah of course.
<matthewcroughan_> But if someone on the XDA forums managed to compile LineageOS for my phone, I should be able to as well :D
<samueldr> (assuming the person actually releases the sources actually used for the port, which many "developers" over at XDA don't)
<matthewcroughan_> samueldr: once I have the kernel sources for my phone, I should be able to compile ZFS in right? :D
<matthewcroughan_> ZFS on android? :P
<samueldr> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<matthewcroughan_> anything is possible
<samueldr> the kernel may contain the feature, but will the OS be able to use it?
<matthewcroughan_> you mean the zfs userspace apps?
<matthewcroughan_> I was thinking more like a partition of /sdcard that was zfs formatted
<matthewcroughan_> Exciting idea anyway
<matthewcroughan_> danielrf[m]: samueldr I got some great advice from a guy called whodat on #lineageos
<matthewcroughan_> got all the sources for my device, and looks like everything's gonna work out.
<matthewcroughan_> mentorship is great :)
