Thinking about buying the fairphone 4. Coming from oneplus 8, which is almost unbrickable, thanks to an EDL MSM tool....

I am running a degoogled phone. The Aurora Store is extremely unreliable and Google is doing everything it can to shut it down. I have been using APKMirror so far but APKPure has a larger selection of apps, and also can be used to download apps on Obtainium whereas APKMirror can only be tracked and not dowbloaded.

I am trying to download a few apps on a degoogled phone such as the Adobe apps. Aurora store is way too unreliable and Google is trying everything in its power to shut it down. I have been using APKMirror for the mean time but Obtainium can not download directly from there and I have to download it through my browser and install...

What is recommended for blocking apps from showing ads and sponsored postings? I tried Blockada for Twitter app and I had to allow access to twitter.com so it didn’t block ads. I tried Adaway and I had to turn off or disable Adaway for Twitter app to work at all....

Is there an app to create a custom action in the sharesheet? I want to create an action that takes a link or some text and transforms it into a new URL. For example, I highlight some text, click share, click Search with (custom search engine), and that action would append the highlighted text to the search engine URL.

My whole life, I never really interactively dealt with cloud or container storage, except the forced upon google drive. I never really accumulated a collection of pics or documents, idk just never a concern. But I read about the importance of secure storage and synching. Are there specific things on my system that should most...

Shopping for a few phone and out of the loop on releases. Just wondering if anyone knows if any mid range to high end non folding Motorolas are coming out in the next month or two.

Ever since its appearance in Android Pie, I always consider 2 button navigation is a bad attempt by Google trying to play catch-up with the fad generated by the iPhone X. However, due to a bug with A13 QPR2 it had to be temporarily removed and many were not happy about this. So, 2 button navigation users, may I ask why do you...

I’m tried of how terrible Gmail is. Id like an email client with folders or categories. If it can sort them automatically (like how Googles now defunct inbox app used to) that would be even better....

Title. Looking for the megathread of FOSS apps that used to be on the other site, can’t find it anymore. Any suggestions? Thanks

One should be at the bottom one at the top. I understand space on the phone is a premium but a second port would make the phone so much more usable. Wired headphones, flash drives, camera modules, speaker modules, keyboards, even connection to a TV, all could be used while charging. It’s a shame it’s not a thing, USB is...

Using Google Maps on Android Auto. When I have a destination, it shows the speed limit of the current road. But if I don’t have a destination it won’t show the speed limit. It still knows what the speed limit is, but it won’t show it. Is there any way to have it show the speed limit all the time?

Last night in my area we had a bad storm when we were sleeping, and because I keep my phone in DND mode at night I didn’t receive any sort of audible alert despite having the “Override Do Not Disturb” checked....

As the title says, today I noticed that instead of the “OpenStreetMap contributor” overlay I’m used to see on Moovit maps there is the Google logo, which makes me think that they moved from OpenStreetMap data to google’s....

For years I have been using daily Bing wallpaper app which used to automatically fetch the day’s Bing wallpaper and set it for lockscreen and home screen. The home screen wallpaper used to be in “landscape”, i.e. it was scrollable. The latest update has removed the setting for scrollable wallpaper to be set automatically....

I’ve been wanting to find a journal app that shows you how you’ve been keeping up with making down notes, so that I could keep track on myself and be attentive to those things...

What’s Changed...

Mishaal Rahman and FragmentedChicken are in South Korea for Samsung Unpacked!...

What are some good open source games on F-droid? I found libresudoku and lichess, so what are your findings?

Hello, everybody. I have a little problem. I somehow managed to mess up an update of LineageOS20. I’m now in LineageOS recovery. The only thing I need are some photos and the Aegis backup. The problem is, that I don’t have access to some folders. I tried to “./adb pull /sdcard/„ but it says something along the lines of...

I was told by an admin that i can make update posts to Photon here, despite being a web app? Anyway…...

So i shattered my screen and I was shopping around for a replacement. Then i notice i could get a new S20 FE 5G for not much more....

Is this new or has it actually existed for a long time? Stumbled upon it when I was typing this in a whatsapp conversation: “Should I call him?”, then this graphic popped up:...
