Introducing Overlap Atlas! Very similar to another little web app that I made a few weeks ago, making use of Android timeline data and Spotify data, I now have another little web app for visualizing overlaps of 2 peoples timeline data (or lack of overlaps). You can load one or more Google...

It is running. And history is made today, June 2nd, 2026. A couple of things I’m pretty certain: For more technical details, please see this github repo. I must confess – without claude.ai, this porting would be impossible. When I got some time, I will add some details on the whole journey.
I’ve been a Spotify user for a long time, and like a lot of people I have Google Timeline enabled on my phone, quietly logging where I’ve been over the years. And at some point earlier this year I downloaded my Spotify listen data, and it occurred to me that Spotify plays + location information...
Android Cuttlefish has made a lot of progress since last time I have messed with them (about 5, 6 years ago!) For example, arm64 host is now supported. WebRTC is finally working. However, certain things are still pretty hideous. Docs are scattered around. Info are hard to find. Simply running a...
Samsung makes great hardware and then ruins the experience with software. I’m not saying this as some Apple fanboy. I left iPhone for Samsung about a year ago because I wanted more control and more flexibility. Android is supposed to be the “open” option. Reality has been a lot less sexy with slow...
It’s been three days with my new smartphone, a Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra, and I confess that it’s been pretty boring. Well, the phone is fast and responsive compared to my old iPhone 11 Pro Max, but my learning curve has been slower than I anticipated, given that I haven’t used Android for at least...

I have a good old nexus 4 still trying to keep up with the big boys in the market. After google ditched the plans of releasing the latest android 6.0 - Marshmallow for nexus 4, things didn't look so great. But with the release of CM 13 (mako), even nexus 4 has android 6.0! Previously, I was...
Like I told you few days back in this post, I made a widget for android to toggle USB Debugging - ADB (Android Debug Bridge). Today, I will tell you more about it. There are many alternatives to this. However they either require you to make the app a system app or they simply open the...
I happen to frequently use an app that doesn't work if USB Debugging - ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is enabled. It is very cumbersome to go to settings and enable or disable the setting every time I need to use the app. I checked if there are any widgets that could do this in a click and returned...
For the past few days, whenever I tried to access any site with HTTPS, I used to get this error. "This webpage is not available ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED" This used to occur only on mobile network (airtel) and not on WiFi. At first it seemed to be a problem with chrome. But the same...

Motivation I recently embarked on a journey to make a new android application for a start-up that I am a part of. Being a software contractor, it is rare that I have the opportunity to build something from scratch. When this opportunity presented itself, I was excited to be able to implement my...
