ok I think i'm in bootloader mode because my pixel says safe mode in the bottom left corner, but windows won't let me install any new drivers? It says I already have the best drivers available, but I'm still getting the No Compatible Devices Found error in the web installer

and it just straight up wont show anything related to android when i try using windows update

@GlytchMeister Safe mode is not it. The bootloader interface is called fastboot, it's got a red triangle and a primarily black background to it, try again.

Ah, okay, thank you. I think it might be a good idea to put that in the web launcher walkthrough so new users know when they’ve got it wrong or right

Okay, I’m about to lose my mind, every time I download a GOS factory image, it stops when the bar appears full, and the button to “download release” lights back up, and if I press “flash release” it tells me to download a release first.

I ALREADY DID? Hell, it even says it’s downloaded!

I’m on windows 10, Brave, shields down. Help?

    GlytchMeister Check that there is sufficient free storage? Is the browser up to date? Try a different browser?

      next on the docket is getting obtainium and droidify, right? I was going to get obtainium first, but... uh... I don't actually see a button in github to install it? do i need a github account?

        ok, how do i find storage and contact scopes? I opened up aves libre and was going to set up a storage scope but realized i needed to make a folder, went to the home screen, realized too late that there might have been a button to make a folder, went back into aves, and now i cant find my way back to that screen.

          GlytchMeister
          Long press the app icon > App info > Permissions > Photos and videos > Storage scopes

          Likewise for contacts but Contacts > Contact scopes instead

          If Scopes is already enabled, it should appear on the App info screen below Permissions however

            Ok I'm working my way down user2288's lists, and next up is keyboards...

            I was hoping for a good FOSS keyboard that has a number row above QWERTY like what i briefly saw in the default android keyboard when I first turned on my pixel. current keyboard, anysoft, openboard, and floris all have the number row... uh... "inside" the QWERTY row, as... uh... "swipe-ups"

            I'm making terms up, i hope those make sense

            Anybody have some suggestions?

              ohhhh wait it's missing emojis.

              hmm.

              Okay lemme take a look at heliboard and a second look at the others, I realized they might have a separate number row and just don't make a big deal about it maybe

              next question:

              Nekogram X has 4 different APK's that come up in Obtanium... Which is reccomended?

              Full
              Full No GCM
              Mini
              Mini No GCM

              I don't know what GCM is, nor what they mean by mini, and uh... I feel like i'm rapidly getting lost in the weeds trying to figure this out @_@

                Dumdum

                ok this one has 3 apks, one is debug, im not toughing that with a ten foot pole, i'm entirely too dumb for that

                next is nouserlib...? Is that a more privacy- or security-focused one? Like is this one not gathering info for autocomplete? I never use autocomplete anyway so... or is it more along the lines of reduced attack surface?

                and then there's Release. I'm assuming this is the default.
