I saw a while ago Google was planning an airtag alternative, but it seems to have been delayed. Anyone know when it’s finally coming out?

I’m planning to move towards using custom ROMs in order to have more control over what is and isn’t installed on my phone....

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...

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....

How to:...

After Samsung’s One UI, now it’s OnePlus’ turn to show off its UI that will be based on Android 14. As the title of the article suggests, the slides are full of obscure and memeable buzzwords:...

I’ve rooted my device to get an acceptable blue light filter on my phone (1500K), I really don’t like the idea of having to root just for that and play the cat and mouse game to hide the root. Any other way to do it? I’ve looked everywhere and nothing is close to what I want. The default night light in the settings barely...

Beta 5.3 released on 6th Sept, 2023 with following release notes:...

I am sure this wasn’t the intended use - but I discovered a useful trick on Android....

Screen is completely black, so good luck with the USB OTG mouse trick. Phone is a Galaxy A8 (2018).

What are everyone’s recommendations on making android more private? Given Google’s recent behavior around tracking and the like, I’m not really comfortable with then having all of my data. I’ve even contemplated going to iOS, since apple doesn’t have a vested interest in me having less privacy… But I just don’t...

I have been loving Native Alpha. Being able to use web versions of apps and not be forced to hand over absurd privacy violating permissions is awesome. My only problem is it appears to run straight off of Chrome’s web engine, and I would rather use Firefox. In large part because of extensions/addons.

Google Maps is changing and will keep drive log data on the phone. I like to go on photo-drives following roads to find “Kodak moments”, I also would like a map of my random rambles. I would prefer that the data for that map be locally collected on my phone but the map itself uploadable to my laptop. Does anyone have an App...

Hi, I am planning to build my own location history service similar to the google maps timeline....

I want a to-do list app that syncs from a json file (or other human-readable data format), so that I can view and modify the file (via a CLI like jq) from my computer too, and it would still reflect on my phone when it syncs....

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a driving journal app, to track when, to/from where and which distance I drive....

My apologies if this seems like an advertisement, I am simply a very grateful user of this project who cannot donate at this time but at least wants to share it with others....

I’ve been looking around for a good GitHub client on my degoogled phone, but have had trouble finding a still-maintained one that’s ready to use. I find that I just default to opening URLs in Fennec, which is far from ideal as I have to load the whole website (and it’s quite laggy on my Pixel 3a). So I turn to Lemmy: what...
