They where like the android auto wireless adaptors that are around nowdays but where a standalone android device that used a phone’s hotspot for an internet connection. Are these...
Like in title. Modern Android permission system is really annoying. It assumes I do not trust installed apps and I believe was made to promote loose installing of whatever crap like loyalty cards apps, while I only install a couple of trusted apps all from F-Droid. Such module would enable faster installation of the systems and...
