YouTube Revanced or Revanced Extended is also a must just for the sheer QoL improvements.

fne8w2ah , in What is Shizuku, and what can you do with it on your Android device?

SD Maid 2/SE is also said to leverage Shizuku to automate the process of freeing up space and removing unwanted junk.

Cellphone is something too much personal so I prefer a new device, cause I’ll be having it for its whole lifespan. I went for S23 8/256 on 6 of February and no regrets cause I’ll be having it for whole 5y. But I got it for 600$, I wouldn’t pay the full price.

I had only one phone from second hand and it was xperia compact z1. It wasn’t bad deal, but it was already 2y old, but for the price it was ridiculous deal. It lasted 2 years and I had to upgrade to new device, newly bought this time.

I assume if I had to I’d not mind buying second hand again but only max 1y old (since premiere) device, from reputable reseller and it would have to be flagship only.

How are you going to manage the battery for 5 years?

Like in my previous phone OP7T, I will swap for a new one after 2-3 years, if necessary…

I buy ever phone on backmarket.com

@AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world avatar

Be careful though, Backmarket is a marketplace, they’re not the refurbishers. You almost have no control over which refurbisher you want to buy from and they do not control the products. A refurbisher can put whatever they want basically, I had a very horrible experience with them and you can also look at the negative reviews.

Anything that makes operating systems more open and free I’m all for.

Unfortunately Google Play services exist, but still.

BackOnMyBS , in Looking for ability to run an app in only half of the screen
@BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world avatar

I’m using Android 14 on a Pixel and gesture navigation. To get split-screen, I gesture up to open the app switcher, then long-press on the icon for the app I want to split-screen. This pulls up a menu that has an option for split-screen.

xyguy OP ,

I am able to do split screen in this way. What I am looking for is to run only 1 app but just in the top 50% of the screen.

ohhHHhh! Sorry, I just tried and have no idea.

Thanks! Did not realized that, I’ll change it asap

Damaskox , in Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

One another Bitwarden user chiming in!

I started with LastPass but they started making things difficult enough on the mobile side that I decided to jump ships. Bitwarden also is a smoother app to use - LastPass felt clunkier (I’ve used only the free side on both).

GamerBoy705 , in FOSS Text Editor

I use Squircle CE. It’s not really just a simple text editor, but it’s not complicated either. It should open pretty much any type of text document you throw at it.

@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world avatar

Excellent. Looks like Google is finally on the right path to making a good messager after all these years.

How long until they kill it off like everything else that worked well?

floppingfish OP , in FOSS Text Editor

Thanks for the suggestion, I am checking into them, now.

Did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same issue trying to connect a Nokia G60 with stock Android One ROM to two macs. Though only most of the time; rarely it just works.

ExtremeDullard OP ,
@ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

No. Sadly I never found out why my phone is misbehaving. But this isn’t my primary device: it’s just a test cellphone so it doesn’t matter too much to me. It would certainly be a showstopper if it was my daily driver.

dangblingus , in Are there any small phones with custom ROM support?

Android phones do not officially support anything except for the distro that came installed.

That being said, any android phone theoretically can run any android custom rom, as long as the CPU is compatible.

KISSmyOS OP ,

The developers of Custom ROMs support some devices and not others. I am fully aware there is no warranty or anything legally binding behind that “support”. And the word “theoretically” is doing some very heavy lifting in your second statement.
