Game recommendations?
I’m going on a trip soon and trying to get myself some things to do. What Android games should I play? Obviously not some cash grab games but something proper. My most played games are Kerbal Space Program, Minecraft, Stormworks, Red dead Redemption 2, Forza Horizon 5, Farming Simulator 19 and 22 and BeamNG. I’m thinking of...

Microsoft Launcher crashed on my phone, erased all my settings and won't start again. What launcher are you using and why do you recommend it?
I was a Nova Launcher user for many many years, but then Microsoft Launcher came with basically the same features as Nove and a few new killer features, so I moved to it....
What's an app for lemmy that isn't Jeroba?
Jeroba is already lackluster and there’s a lot of stuff you can’t do on Jeroba that you can do when browsing lemmy through a web browser. One new issue that jeroba has developed is that now it crashes a lot. This has crossed the line for me. It was already a pain to use but the crashing makes it so much worse. Are there any...

How do you actually back up and save your photos and media off of your Android phone?
I’ve mostly just relied on Google Photos, and I really like its features. However, I have always been deathly afraid of losing access to my Google photos account and losing all of those, so I need a better way to actually back up my photos. Right now all I do is do a Google Takeout every so often, but that’s inefficient as...

Fairphone still updating old handsets (arstechnica.com)
Fair play; I don’t own a Fairphone, and I’m hoping to keep my current Android alive long enough to be able to go straight to a Linux phone. But this is another demonstration of why it’s good to support outliers
Google's Generic Kernel Image is the next step towards solving Android's fragmentation problem (www.xda-developers.com)
Insular, a FLOSS fork of Island, allows you to isolate privacy invading Android apps and prevent them from running when you don't want them too. (f-droid.org)
Which file manager do you use?
I use one called X-Plore. It’s actually very good. Even has a WiFi server, conpressed archive support, etc. but the downsides are that it’s close sourced and some features are behind a paywall (though IMO they are worth it)....
Dozens of Huawei and Honor devices with Kirin processors can now be bootloader unlocked which can allow custom ROMs and kernels to be installed (www.xda-developers.com)
Defeating Huawei’s draconian security measures wasn’t an easy task, but a developer named Andrey Smirnoff actually managed to decipher the bootloader unlock code generation algorithm for devices that are based on HiSilicon Kirin 960/659/655 chipsets. Apart from that, what makes PotatoNV possible is a low-level bootloader...

What's an Android smartphone with a good balance between privacy and usability?
My old phone’s battery has given up the ghost. Can someone recommend a current generation smartphone, preferably Android, that strikes a good balance between usability and privacy? I’m also fine with an Android phone that’s not that great with privacy out of the box, but has good support for third party ROMs like Lineage...
