0oWow , in Android Intent Filter Verification Service

It seems to be how apps can link themselves to a URL. This service just verifies the link is good.

Here is a writeup on it: grapheneos.org/usage#app-link-verification

The Line messaging app is ridiculously popular in Japan, to the point where people sometimes are genuinely confused by someone trying to explain that they don’t have Line on their phone:

For currency converter you can use Converter NOW, most of the clocks can show 2 différents times but for the widget don’t know sorry (using mlauncher NO widgets.), for the weather use Breezy.

You should use an offline navigation map that’s always useful where you’re not in a known country and for me that’s all.

EDIT : a good messenger like SimpleX

I got a lot of use out of Google Translate for text.

Suntimes (foss) for sunrise/sunset. Shows when is golden hour, which is useful for photography.

Windy for weather, i bought premium which costs 1€/month but provides hourly updates on weather.

OsmAnd+ (free) for offline maps. Kind of steep learning curve, but is the most feature rich app I used. You can turn on to show publicly available hiking/biking routes from national parks, plan a route, etc. I used it for hikes and was able to locate water filling stations, cafes, even when internet was not available. Really helpful to plan your walks without needing an account.

Revolut for banking, best currency exchange rates and affordable eSIM in same app. I use it on first day on arrival before I get local sim if i need one, you get 100 mb for free, so its enough to text your booking on first day. Bring separate bank card in case ATM swallows your main card so youre not left stranded with no means to pay.

IIRC, you can run the Xiaomi unlocking software in wine: hardreset.info/…/xiaomi-bootloader-unlock-miui10/

Sometimes you can set double tapping at the phone’s back to take a screenshot. At least it works on Pixel phones, I know.

You can try emulate the ROM on your phone itself like this app play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmos.go…

kratoz29 , in You know what I would really love? A custom rom browser.

I like that idea.

Swapping custom ROMs are the distro hopping of Android.

What I do to make the process faster is:

  • Backup all my shit, with Google backup (which if it works, it is way crippled) and Swift backup root.
  • Download newer ROM and desired root method (KSU as of lately).
  • Flash said ROM and root it.
  • Grab data from Google, give root permissions to Swift Backup and complete the data retrieval sane edition.
  • Rinse and repeat.

My device is EOL and most custom ROMs come decrypted by default, so I am in no need to format data, which just makes this process faster as my data remains in the same folder, but if you have a good cloud solution and nice internet speed Swift Backup can take advantage of that.
