Do you use a device with open source Android firmware? What device, which distro and what do you do with it? I have a Samsung tablet with LineageOS and apps from F-Droid. Other than displaying dire warnings about the unlocked bootloader every time it cold boots, It’s great for a “recliner system”: email, Web browsing,...

Hello all, I’ve only used lemmy on mobile so far there has been a million and one posts about apps for lemmy for mobile. My plan was to lurk and read something about pc lemmy, and set it up, but I haven’t found any. What can I use on desktop to browse lemmy?...

I’m thinking of using Shizuku to give root access to Automate app. My doubt is will it backfire in some way. I’m trying to automate enabling and disabling of Work Profile based on a schedule which frustratingly is missing on Samsung. I’m trying to run the adb commands “am stop-user -f 10” using privileged user block in...

So I installed this app that wants permissions to my photos and/or files so I can upload a picture. Totally normal. I want to know if it’s possible to specify that these permissions are only granted for a specific directory/folder, rather than the whole device. It doesn’t seem like it, but curious if there’s a way to do...

I’m planning to get a Pixel 8 this month after using only iPhones since my first iPhone in ~2010. I used to be a big Apple fan, so I have a good understanding of iOS, good iOS apps, etc, from years of Apple blogs, podcasts, etc. I have nowhere near the same level of understanding of Android. For instance, I was just watching a...

I’m looking for something as close to Nova Launcher as possible.

I’m looking to play some mobile games online with my partner while we’re away; something simple and potentially asynchronous but doesn’t have to be. Something like Words With Friends but not cluttered and overrun with ads. Simple board games, strategy, or other casual games....

Hi, this is the last week before I will return my Pixel 7 Pro for a refund, after owning it for a year. My replacement is the 15 Pro Max, and I thought I’d post here in case anyone has any questions regarding these two devices....

I am thinking about buying a fairphone. Is it less of a privacy nightmare than your typical Android phone?

Previously this would be OnePlus, but it looks like their newest phones aren’t rootable. I used to have a Xiaomi phone for this also, are they still good?...

Does anyone know of a good privacy respecting (preferably FOSS) parental control app for Android? I’m trying to convince a friend to get a Pixel with GrapheneOS as their kids next phone but they won’t do it unless it let’s them control certain things....

So I was drafting a blog post about an x86 tablet and was quickly going to mention running x86 versions of Android like Bliss as an option, but I can’t seem to figure out exactly what/if active projects are out there....

Just wondering what everyone uses. Currently some of the apps I use are proton apps, openboard fork with futo voice, grayjay, notesnook, signal. I have more but wanna hear your apps! Creating Lemmy content!

I’m having some problems with a dirty flash ROM on my phone, want to clean flash it what is the recommended way to backup my phone , I don’t have root.

Hi Android Community, I previously used “DFCleaner” which was a free, ad-supported app that searched specified folders for duplicate files and let you preview and delete anything that it found. This app now bothers me with a consent form for ad tracking so I’ve ditched it in protest. Are there any open source alternatives...
