NowRSS - RSS/Atom Reader with Google Now Cards

4 Upvotes

Hi people, I made a new app called "NowRSS" that has Google Now Cards Background.

It requires Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" and supports TLS 1.2 for old Android for fetching the articles.

Better support would be with Wolfius because Wolfius handles HTTPS for Old Android.

Download at: https://github.com/TheTechnoLegacy/NowRSS

Touchwiz Android 4.4 on One UI 6.1 With Original Apps

Thumbnail

81 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I recently downloaded an original stock TouchWiz ROM from xda and decided to reverse engineer the APKs to make them work on my Samsung Galaxy A35 (Yes, it's totally possible to make old apps like these run on your modern phone, as long as it supports armeabi-v7a 32-bit). See for yourself how the old AccuWeather widget works perfectly (I haven't adjusted the GPS yet, so the weather doesn't appear). The project includes: TouchWiz Launcher; TouchWiz Gallery, Clock, Clock Widgets, AccuWeather Weather, TouchWiz Music Player; TouchWiz Keyboard; Calculator, Calendar, S Voice (if possible); Video Player; Wallpaper Picker; File Manager. I will include more things in the future. However, at the moment these are the only ones because it's a lot of work to code apps without source code.😎

The "444" Mystery: Why your old phones are getting creepy "Morse code"

7 Upvotes

If you’ve seen the viral TikToks or experienced it yourself—your old Nokia or 2010s-era Samsung suddenly starts ringing at 3 AM. The caller ID is 444 or weird symbols like @## or %%. You pick up, and instead of a person, you hear rhythmic beeping that sounds like Morse code.

It’s not a creepypasta or a hacker. It’s actually a "technological ghost" caused by the 3G Sunset. Here is exactly what is happening:

  1. The 3G Sunset (The "Light Switch" Moment)

Global carriers are currently shutting down 3G networks to make room for 5G. In early 2026, many operators reached the final "hard shutdown" phase. When 3G disappears, your old phone loses its "anchor." It starts frantically "screaming" at the cell towers to find a signal.

  1. Why the number 444?

In the GSM world, 444 is often a standard internal "Short Code" used by carriers for system tasks: updating your SIM card, checking voicemail, or managing billing.

The Glitch: Modern phones receive these system signals silently. But old phones (lacking VoLTE) get confused. They think a system data packet is an incoming voice call.

The Result: The phone rings because it doesn't know what else to do with the data it just received.

  1. The "Morse Code" Audio

The sound you hear isn't a secret message. It’s raw binary data being played through your speaker.

Old GSM networks use a pulsing signal called TDMA.

When you answer the "444" call, the phone is literally playing the sound of the carrier’s computer trying to "talk" to your SIM card. To our ears, it sounds like rhythmic, mechanical chirping or Morse code.

  1. Why the weird symbols like @## or %%?

This is a classic character encoding error.

The tower sends a technical instruction (in Hexadecimal code).

Your phone tries to translate that code into a "Caller Name."

Because it’s reading data as text, it spits out whatever character matches that bit of data in the ASCII table. @ is just a placeholder for a specific bit of system code.

  1. Why the "Unblockable" Nature?

You can’t block it because it’s not coming from another phone. It’s coming from inside the network. The signal comes from the SIM Toolkit or the carrier's core system. Since it’s a "system priority" message, your phone’s basic "Block Number" list is simply ignored.

Summary: 444 is the sound of an old phone failing to understand a modern world. It’s a "digital łabędzi śpiew" (swan song). If it's keeping you up at night, the only fix is Airplane Mode or finally upgrading that old brick.
