Just wondering what anyone might be moving to after the news broke?

I’m planning to get a Pixel 8 this month after using only iPhones since my first iPhone in ~2010. I used to be a big Apple fan, so I have a good understanding of iOS, good iOS apps, etc, from years of Apple blogs, podcasts, etc. I have nowhere near the same level of understanding of Android. For instance, I was just watching a...

Is exynos 2200 that big of a dealbreaker? I’m also open to buying pixel series phones.

Hey everybody, I’m looking for the best Android apps using the todo.txt format....

I’m starting to see not as many newer mobiles in the Lineage OS list as I used to. The US is a lost cause with companies not allowing their bootloader to be unlocked, but even the Chinese companies like OPPO, Vivo, OnePlus etc don’t seem to have their recent devices on the Lineage OS supported list. Am I imagining this, or...

I don’t know if this post fits here but the lineage os community has no traffic....

A couple of times I’ve been presented with notifications from commercial apps downloaded from the Play store that are very clearly promotional material. Thankfully, Android allows me to block particular notification channels if I swipe the notification lightly and hit the gear icon. I can disable the particular “Promotion”...

Hey all, I have a Samsung S22 and got an update this morning which has forced on the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. Disabling the new circle to search didn’t make a difference....

Imagine it, not a repo, but a site or app that lets you “try out” custom roms through an embedded or emulated interface....

It’s a very long story but ultimately all you need to know is, i have to make sure an unknown app isn’t sending an assload of traffic through port 25 on any network im connected to. How can I confirm this on my android device without an external PC?

I realise I really miss that feature from 10 years ago. Any (foss) app doing that?

Every 6 months or so I go looking for a solution to this problem and still haven’t found one....

I’ve been looking around to find a good, privacy respecting way to sync my messages between phones. I decided I’m going to use SyncThing so I don’t have to mess around with a server. The only problem with this is that I haven’t been able to find any apps that work on modern Android that routinely backup and import...

Maybe I’m the only one who didn’t know this, but Aves supports built-in video editing, which was a feature I loved from the non-libre version of Simple Gallery, but well, we all know what happens with those apps....

so I’ve got a pixel 6A and I really like the device itself, but the last several months of updates have just screwed it up over and over again....

Hi guys! I’m trying to see if there’s alternatives in TTS for the (admittedly) great one Google provides. I’m using Graphene, and so that’s not an option I’d like to go around....

Does anyone have good experience with android tablets, and possibly replacing the OS? I see some interesting options from Google, lenovo, one plus, etc… I imagine the pixel one will be the easiest to load a new OS to, but I also wonder about the tablet support of things like lineage or graphine....

I personally like to map it using an app called keymapper so that it controls multimedia

I own a handy asus x00p with android 8 that fits my hand (released in 2018). I have a newer android 11 device (released in 2020) but it’s larger and heavier and I don’t really like using it....

I’m ready to debloat (with universal-android-debloater), but before I do that Id like to backup the OS in the device to my computer....

computer: ubuntu 23.10...

Motivation...

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....

I’m thinking of using Shizuku to give root access to Automate app. My doubt is will it backfire in some way. I’m trying to automate enabling and disabling of Work Profile based on a schedule which frustratingly is missing on Samsung. I’m trying to run the adb commands “am stop-user -f 10” using privileged user block in...
