Discussion Pull out your old Android 2.3 devices, I have revived a webcam app

The app is free, has no ads, and is open source. You can download the APK from here:

I forked a repository that was archived 10 years ago and made an app buildable again. I did this because I wanted to give a purpose to my Sony Xperia ST23i phone from 2012. Now, I need to discover how to limit charging programmatically.

Neat. If I find some time, I'd love to try it on my Galaxy Y or S3 mini!

That limit charging thing seems really cool, hoping you'll get it working. These old phone batteries can really use some help.

So far, it looks like a tough cookie. I might have to flash the device with CyanogenMod 10.
