I recently tried to install an app called chippin (might be a regional app) but the app crashed. Couldn’t understand why and got rid of it, later realized that recently working apps like 8ball pool started to crash too. Thought It was a system-wide issue and painfully factory reset my phone. That fixed my issue and my apps...

After updating my Android tablet it completely changed the layout. Now when the tablet starts up and asks for the pin number the numbers are all tiny. Also when trying to access the drop down menu from swiping down from the top the list of options are all pushed to the side of the tablet. Does anyone know how to get the old...

Hello! I was looking on plexus.techlore.tech for my most used apps to understand what I’d miss if I degoogled my smartphone, and surprising Satispay seems to be completely unusable without play services or microG. It is very counter intuitive for me, as it has nothing to do with google. Any idea?

I know there are a lot on Ali Express and I’m curious if any are compatible with a FOSS app. I have tried using Tile products in the past but the app and the way they implemented a membership was a bit annoying.

I’ve recently bought a Motorola Edge 20 pro and sometimes it fails to sleep and the screen remains on although the screen timeout has been set to 30 seconds. How can I diagnose this? Is this a common problem with Android or some app is responsible for it?

So, I’m aware of Syncthing for much of the media, which may help after getting things migrated, but I’m wondering if there may be something more like Clonezilla (or the like) for smartphones to more easily copy over apps & media in bulk....

I’m looking for an app that allows me to set long term goals with the individual steps that are needed for each of those goals. Similar to a bunch of todo lists, but that allows me to easily see my progress on the home screen via a graph/progress widget of some kind....

I am a stickler for launchers.

The best launcher I ever found for my tastes was Evie. Extremely simple with no ads, bordering on the...
