  • I agree the software is bad. All my phones bought after nexus 4 was made by Xiaomi. They give option to unlock bootloader and flash custom rom.

    Not all the phones get official lineage os support, but almost all snapdragon versions get custom rom support.

    I gave my Redmi Note 4 to my mom, which is 6 years old and running latest OS with recent security patches. None of the other OEMs were supported upto this period (just give exception to Samsung Galaxy 2).










  • I use Google sheets on my personal projects.

    • tracking expenses
    • tracking my ride logs from my ev

    Google app script pickup email received from banks and update the transaction automatically. I modify it using web based form of needed.

    The ev company has api. It will be called on periodic basis to get the ride details and update the sheets. I use telegram api to interact, by triggering the api webhook, getting charts, etc.,

    Initially I setup OCR to extract the ride information, so the process was like

    • send an image that has ride details to a telegram bot
    • the bot saves the image in Google drive
    • the image would be opened in docs
    • the text would get extracted and stored in Google sheets as data
    • edits can be done using telegram webapp
    • sheets provide charts for analysis
    • built a process using sheets to handle telegram bot for maintaining users, approvals, etc.,

    It would be hard if I have used any other services… setting up OCR preparing charts etc.,
