Since simple mobile tools will soon become a spyware and I use 3 of their apps regularly, yesterday I installed F-Droid after reading many Lemmy recommendations....

Nothing makes sense. It’s been oversimplified to the point where it’s been dumbed down to its core.

I’ve got a tablet with way more storage space than my phone. I’d like to be able to access all the files on it from my phone, just for viewing, without having to manually set up both devices for something cumbersome like TeamViewer. But also without having to use cloud storage. Is there any way to do this?

I want to install native alpha plus but cannot purchase it as I don’t have Google play services, and cannot build it from source as I don’t have access to a computer. If this is not possible, could somebody please help me out and PM me a link to a compiled APK.

I’ve been wanting to diversify my set of apps for a while now, and the recent purchase of SMT by ZipoApps finally gave me the push to do so....

I use Google Photos as my photos app. I used to backup photos from another Android device when it was free to back up in reduced quality. I have noticed that some features (eg: Memories, face grouping, photo date editing) are only available for backed up photos, and not local ones. Is there a way to enable those features for...

Hi all. I recently got a Pixel 8, and it’s my first ever Android phone. I’m loving it so far and glad I switched over. One thing that’s honestly driving me crazy though is the photo picker. On iPhone it was easy to pick a photo directly within the Messages or any other app, either a recent one, a favorites one, or one from...

In the latest Messages for Android Beta, scheduled send is broken due to a date validation bug. It won’t let you schedule messages after today’s date number in any month. So, for instance, today’s date is 29 November, 2023; it won’t allow any messages to be scheduled in December unless they’re scheduled on the 29th,...

Hi, I want to pay with online prepaid visa in person. I could add it to Google Pay, but Google Pay doesn’t support NFC payments on GrapheneOS. Do you know any other app that lrts you do that?

Hello, I’m looking for something to help me manage my daily tasks, something I can check off my chores, and they show up again the next day. I heard about todoist but they immediately wanted me to sign in or create an account. Is there anything out there that doesn’t require that? All I can think of that it’d be useful for...

Hi all. I just got a new Pixel 8. It’s my first Android phone. My work uses Google Workspace but doesn’t use work profiles or manage devices in any way. I’d like to be able to do the following from my phone....

If I only wanted to degoogle and disable other manufacturer’s bloatware from my Android device, is using adb to “uninstall” the system apps from user 0 pretty much as effective as rooting and using something like debloat terminal while rooted or are there bypasses that make rooting the better option? I’m not concerned...

Hi I had an App previously, that was just called Write for simple note taking, where you could take a picture, and make simple edits, like using a simulated marker to highlight....

I have been convinced to switch from apple, and i am soon purchasing a pixel 7 pro. I would then like to put a custom rom on it because i would:...

I have a Pixel 7, stock Android 14. It is my only phone and I love the stock system. But I am trying to gradually ditch Google and its services, for reasons well-known in this community and Lemmy in general. How much would I gain/lose using a custom ROM with/without GApps?...

After trying different browsers on android I found Privacy Browser to be what I need. It have encrypted backups,Domain settings,jsless by default,Deleting all site data and Most usable UI. Only issue is It is based on webview and I am using system default webview as my device is nonrooted so how secure is to go this way?

I don’t have many people to celebrate with. Part of getting older is celebrating alone, which is sobering and a change of perception. If you’re reading this, I hope you’re safe. I hope you’re with family that loves you, I got you have a friend....
