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”. I...

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?

Conclusion...

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.

Hi all,...

It’s interesting to see OnePlus’ first foldable. There’s a video review of an early sample in the linked article: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWclrhYkRn0...

I’m curious if anyone’s come across a list of “power” or “professional” apps for Android. I mean things like Termux, Audio Evolution, or PowerDirector, which provide functionality that you would normally need a computer for. I’m being purposefully broad so that I can discover more cool apps, but generally I mean...

This has the worst camera I have had on a phone. The front camera claims to be 16MP, and it may as well be a potato. It was a $400 phone. Surely there is a similar phone spec wise that has a better camera? I take photos of cannabis flowers and plants, and they almost always look muddled.

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.

I’ve had a Pixel 4a for ~3 years at this point. I had to replace it some time last year because I had lost my original in a lake. T-Mobile gave me whichever lower-end Pixel there was at the time and I immediately gave it back because of the offputting amount of warmth it produced doing very little. When the time does come to...

i uninstalled wefwef to get the new icon in the last update, i had it installed as a pwa and it would show up in my app drawer like an actual installed app...

Just checking, am I missing any Lemmy apps? My goal is to try them all. I'm mainly using Liftoff at the moment.

Has replaceable battery, ARM64 architecture, sim card slot, USB OTG support, sd card slot, uab type c and no front camera. Ships to europe. Also, I don’t want most of the budget to go for the camera....
