Android

I've recently moved to pixel/graphene and I'm looking for a more open replacement for spotify.

I installed a bunch from F-droid to test (newpipe, pipepipe, libretube, RiMusic, SpMp, SimpmMusic, InnertTune, ViMusic, etc)

I’m testing them all but I’m a bit overwhelmed with choice.

I'd like to find something that lets me control the music from my desktop, either through KDE connect or a standalone app. FOSS / F-droid preferred

I plan to start maintaining my library locally but I still need some kind of streaming solution.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

EDIT: I'm not interested in a paid subscription service, if I was ok with that I would have stayed on spotify. Thanks for all responses.

Hi so I have this tv box with model number EC6108V9 and it's very hard for me to find mods they are all in Chinese I have been trying for almost a day now or it's just hard and I also want to find a way to get passed the menus (with keyboard shortcuts or smth idk) and to a android launcher (it runs android kitkat) Thanks Idk if this is the right lemmy room for this I have tried xda forums but one of the roms had a error

A Google spokesperson explains:

Promoted pins in navigation are not new – they let people see relevant ads for businesses like gas stations, restaurants, and stores along their route. To avoid driver distraction, these ads do not pop up, expand only if they’re tapped on, and disappear quickly after a short time.

Google Maps is changing and will keep drive log data on the phone. I like to go on photo-drives following roads to find "Kodak moments", I also would like a map of my random rambles. I would prefer that the data for that map be locally collected on my phone but the map itself uploadable to my laptop. Does anyone have an App for that?

You can sideload the xbox fire tv app on a android/google tv. However you are unable to sign in as it boots you to the wrong page. On a fire tv its supposed to have you do some steps.

On a side note you can sideload the new xbox app to an unsupported fire stick and sign in like normal.

I have a Redmi Note 11, I am planning to install a custom ROM. This is the first time I'm about to do something like this.

How good of a reputation does the Paranoid Android OS have? Will I get good long term support? How functional is it?

Hey all, I have a Samsung S22 and got an update this morning which has forced on the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. Disabling the new circle to search didn't make a difference.

I heard it can be disabled through GoodLock but I'm not installing that. Maybe it can be disabled via adb or something?

Cheers

Simple Xposed module to support the Belfius app on Rooted devices!

Source
https://github.com/Rikj000/Belfius-Root#belfius-root

License GPLv3

Motivation
Belfius bank was pretty cool about having a rooted device in the past,
they just threw a dismissible warning about security risks of using a rooted device,
and then allowed you to keep using their app.

However on 2024-07-01 this changed.
Nowadays they assume that you're an idiot that will not be able to keep your own device safe if you have root.

I do not agree with that assumption, and likely neither do you.
Only power users that have a good idea of what they're doing tend to root their own devices.

After only a hand full of transactions, done through the tedious browser process,
I grew agitated enough to do the research to write this module.

Hope you'll enjoy this module and the ability to stay rooted!

tl/dr: I would like an Android launcher that has an app search in the app tray, and the ability to see all of the apps in a folder regardless of number.

replacing Nova because it's been freezing more and more lately. Hyperion seems to meet most of my needs, but I can't figure out how to do an app search, even with the pro version, and it won't show me all of the apps that I have in a desktop folder if I have more than like five, and I need to be able to see them because I have ADHD.

I've got a Wi-Fi extender that I use when I'm working out back, but my phone will randomly connect to it when I'm in the house and would prefer it connect to the home Wi-Fi.

is there any way yet to tell my phone to prioritize a network?

I was using aurora store for awhile and today I got a notification tell me to update this app. I have no idea what it do exactly, but I always try to degoogle my phone as much as possible. It would help a lot if someone can give an answer. Thank in advance.

For example, there is Material Notes which has a editor toolbar with bold, ~~indented~~, ~~stroke~~, etc. But this is rendered, exported to json or syntax like Markdown. This app too, in which i write this on lemmy, does the same. We have ☐, ☒, •, ‣ in Unicode, 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝗱, 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡, s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵, so why not use this?

Basically, what i'm looking for is a text editor with editor toolbar/keystrokes for Android or Linux, which adds unicode symbols for rich text. It would make reading plain text notes/todo lists cross-device simpler. Yes, there's UnicodePad and Charmap but that's not the same.

Anyone know of good FOSS and privacy friendly text to speech apps for Android? Want to listen to my notes

Here is a list of my favorite android apps. Feel free to post your own.

• F-Droid (app store)
• RethinkDNS (firewall/dns)
• KeePassDX (offline password manager)
• NewPipe or FreeTube (YouTube)
• Ghost Commander (file manager)
• Heliboard (keyboard)
• Termux (linux terminal emulator)
• AntennaPod (podcasts)
• Aegis (2 factor authentication)
• Mull (firefox based web browser)
• OsmAnd (offline navigation)
• Trail Sense (hiking companion)

I love the ViMusic/RiMusic UI, it's something different that works also better than standard material designs.

i found one on fdroid but it was old and the directory selector was broken and couldn't really work outside of it's default for some reason, it also rendered the page i'm trying to use really weirdly, like it wasn't sending some file over and the css got borked.

Found one that wasn't foss, installed it, opened it, "buy premium to unlock this feature", uninstalled it.

My phone is losing regularly GSM network during calls and people are saying that they cannot hear me. Is there any fix of this? I have already tried to disable WiFi Calling, 5G, restart the phone, etc. but those problems persist. I wasn't able to find reliable information on the internet that could help. If someone is experiencing similar issues and found a fix, let me know.

Alternatively, I can also install some other ROM, but I want to keep this as a last option. In this case feel free to recommend any good and stable ROMs.

In a rather prominent push, the “Start chat” floating action button now has a smaller Gemini FAB just above it. When you’re dealing with the rectangle, the square looks misaligned. Everything is visually correct upon scrolling.
