Anyone know of good FOSS and privacy friendly text to speech apps for Android? Want to listen to my notes

With every version of Android it seems to be harder and harder to get real time notifications anywhere near real time....

I have found the translation from camera source feature useful in Google Translate and I use it from time to time. Last night was one such occasion, yet when I attempted to enable camera mode, I received the message shown in the screenshot, “Please install the latest Google app in order to use camera translation”.

So I sideloaded few apps that are already present in playstore. But whenever I go to my updates menu , I can see all my apps installed via playstore as well as side loaded. Is there a way to stop this?

Like in title. Modern Android permission system is really annoying. It assumes I do not trust installed apps and I believe was made to promote loose installing of whatever crap like loyalty cards apps, while I only install a couple of trusted apps all from F-Droid. Such module would enable faster installation of the systems and...

GrapheneOS has really good documentation, I highly recommend you to read it!...

This is the second time I try to unbrick my device (asus X00PD) with my computer (Ubuntu 23.10) and Im not very smart, so I hope you are patient....

Seems like Xiaomi is heavily clamping down on bootloader unlocking in China. Global versions also have a new restriction: no updates without locked bootloader.

Users will be able to manually revoke that permission on Android 14 (already available in the current beta under Apps -> Special app access -> Full screen notifications);...

My bitch ex wife updated her google pfp and now every time i open up the messenging app i have to see her face. I clicked on her name and pressed the removed button, but it seems to reload itself every day.

It frequently marks the text as red in my native language but never in English (unless there is a real error in the text). Anybody know why? See image below…...

i found one on fdroid but it was old and the directory selector was broken and couldn’t really work outside of it’s default for some reason, it also rendered the page i’m trying to use really weirdly, like it wasn’t sending some file over and the css got borked....
