Power on/off when charging/not charging

Hi, I like to keep a phone in my car mostly for the rear camera but do not want to leave it on standby.
Is there a way to power it on once it is charging and switch it off if it is not charging anymore?

FORCE 90, 96 & 120 hz on capable devices (ROOT)

Need info on where to start search for said files/props.
Setedit returns no values pertaining to screen or refresh rate nor does adding those props yield results., same thing with adb/shell.
Goal - unlock refresh rate from 60.
And yes, im aware many people believe this can F*ck up the device. (In reality, any device with an OLED or better is HIGHLY unlikely to suffer damage, given the modified refresh rate is within reason and doesnt exceed the manufacturers specs - you can find those by searching your phones screens model - Samsung or LG makes 90% of all OLED screens - Food for thought)
So, any ideas? All test devices have root priv.

Thank you! i was just kind of conflicted as to if it was more dev oriented or just general, thanks for clarification!

Just microphone when connecting Type C to 3.5mm

I just bought a type c to 3.5mm converter that I'd like to use for a microphone. Is there a way to have it just for the mic? It appears to look for headset playback as well and the phone's speaker stops working.
I have a OnePlus 8t and here's what I bought:

Questions regarding possible sim card options for embedded android device.

I am new to the realm of Android and especially embedded style devices. I have not disassembled the device yet but I do have photos of the internals with high def photos of only a few devices. The platform is based on a Qualcomm WTR4095 (Transceiver), Qualcomm QFE4320(??), Qualcomm MSM8909 (Snapdragon 210), WCN3610(WiFi, Bluetooth, FM?). It seems similar to structure of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge from some light googling.
My problem is that the cellular service for this device is no longer supported. My question is, is the SIM data embedded in one of these chips? If it is, how would it be possible (if at all) to get this device working with a new cellular network plan. If the SIM data is not embedded what sort of device on the circuit should I look for and how would I rig in a new SIM?
Let me know if I need to fill in more information but this seemed to be the best place for me to start asking for some guidance on the road ahead!

No worries, thank you for moving it to the correct forum. I will review the guidances for future reference.

Make discord/whatsapp think you're using your internal mic?

I'm on android A12 and have hooked up a clip on microphone into the headphone jack and used lesser audioswitch so that I can still hear with the speakers. The clip on microphone works perfect if I'm recording an audio message or a video but when I enter a voicecall with somebody on either discord or whatsapp it uses my internal microphone to speak. Any ideas why this is happening and is there any way to trick discord/whatsapp into thinking that my clip on mic is actually my internal mic with mods? Thank you.
