    Old device that I use for some older games and as spare. Device is Huawei IDEOS U8150 running CyanogenMod 7

    Modern web used to work on it a couple of years ago and quite smoothly too if you set your user agent to Symbian (in Via settings). But I tried this year and unfortunately most websites now will give SSL errors, or just got way too heavy for the less than 256MB of RAM available and will crash the device. But the device used to crash for other things, not only heavy browsing.

    Resident Evil 4 and GTA 3 both Android releases will do the same because RAM is just that little. Or also using ADWLauncher2 will crash it despite being quite a light launcher, so I have legacy ADWLauncher that runs much better than the stock Android launcher. Despite the new version crashing the device, before it does so it still runs better than the AOSP launcher. Setting legacy ADWLauncher to kill its own process after opening another app helps a lot too, but of course slows you down when you leave the app you opened as it has to reload everything again.

    Google Play Services will take the entire space available (not in 2023, Google dropped support completely to even logging in). It was already best to uninstall it but now that Android Market no longer works it doesn’t install itself ever again.

    But Google Maps, the latest version of the app for the OS version being from 2014, still works with no data missing and all updated (but navigation, used to be a separate app, doesn’t and now doesn’t even connect to display the “update the app” message). I downloaded the map of my city and nearby on it, and used it to go to the repair shop twice to fix my real device like a non-digital map.



  • I’ve not used Freetube in a long time. But what I can say is to check if you have the latest version. In the latest available release of yt-dlp on Debian there is a bug where for some videos the Youtube servers would respond 403 Forbidden. It is fixed if you enable backports and install the newer release there. Might be related, might not. Depends if Freetube implements part of yt-dlp
