Hello! Share good casual libre android games if you know any

I used to take screenshots of the picture I wanted to use as wallpaper, but then Android stopped that from working, and now I have to manually add a giant border to make the screenshots fit the arbitrary fiant wallpaper size on the Android screen....

Looking for some assistance on the title. All I’ve been trying to do is save a docx file as PDF from my phone. I’ve looked for articles and all but I do not have a print option from my file managers (regular Samsung and Material files)....

This is probably a wildly niche situation, but I learned about OSU!droid and was interested in trying it with my galaxy tab s6 lite, figuring the s pen would be a pretty perfect way to play....

This was seen on two phones, one running near Stock Android 13(Nokia G20) and another on an usual OEM customized variant of Android 14. When I sideloaded two different apps on each phone and attempted to give them Read notification access in the settings, a message came that it was restricted for my security and no way to bypass...

Edit: Many thanks to @MrGerrit for suggesting that I hold all three buttons down. That appears to have worked! 🙏...

Ok, this is what i call a “gourdian knot” of a problem, admittedly of my own doing. first of, my tablet is an onn 10.1" surf tablet. nothing special. and it was many many months ago i thought “yeah, i’d root it” and it worked, but braindead me thought i did it wrong and tried again and mis-clicked and deleted something...

Want to learn/try one of the two alternative Keyboards for Android. Which do you prefer, have had the best experience with?

Android 14, an update released on 22 June under no more description than ‘security update’ has stopped syncthing being able to write to folders, even the few it allowed me to previously specifically grant access to. I can’t add a folder to sync, as it says ‘your android version hasn’t granted syncthing write access,...

My car’s android unit has some quad core processor , and it instantly boots up and reaches the home screen where as my phone takes almost 30 seconds or a minute to reach the home screen despite having much better hardware.

I use Magisk but I have also heard about APatch or KernelSU. What do you use and what are the benefits of it?

I’ve only heard of GrapheneOS (and that authy is insecure in the same breath, so I need better 2fa apps)....

I have a new Phone Plan starting in a couple of days. I have the option to choose a Physical Sim or eSim, both are similarly easy to get going. What are some +/- of both, what should I use? Or does it even matter at all?...

Anyone has a fool proof method? Preferably that does not involve third party apps, or a Foss one....

Y’all know of any other FOSS clients for Spotify other than Spotube? It’s rather slow for me the times I’ve used it, so here I am asking for alternatives. Would be using it on my Android phone. Cheers!

I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade my phone to Android 11 (god for bid Android 13/14) on my Samsung S9....

Most pill apps are meant for scheduled medications, like something you take every morning. But I take a medication on-demand, with the only rule to take at most X per day and wait at least Y hours between taking. So I only need to worry about taking it too often. Is there an app where I can track when I take this medication, and...

I’ve been using China/Xiaomi Phones for the longest time and hated the installed Android Version because all of the clutter, bloat and privacy concerns. Now I am about to buy a Google Pixel 7 Pro....

Saw Louis Rossmans original video on the app and figured (and it may well have been) it would be buggy and awful at that point. Decided to gike it a try, the app has all the options I could want for watching youtube, it’s multiplatform to a much greater degree than Newpipe and it’s forks....

I broke the screen on my pixel 7 pro, I took it to get repaired by a local shop & we discussed that I wanted an original part. They interpreted this as I want a “new” part, but not an original one. They’ve now done the repair with an aftermarket screen, which is much lower quality than an OEM part....

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.
