Media Editor (+50 other tools): Image Toolbox https://github.com/T8RIN/ImageToolbox
Just started using Image Toolbox a few weeks ago, shits fucking dope.
I love that it replaced almost 10 different apps on my phone. Very uncommon for an app to do that, especially a FOSS app.
I tried switching to Aurora, but apps updated through there no longer appear in Android Auto for some reason (Spotify, Smart Audiobook Player)
That is very interesting, you should make the developers aware of this! https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore I personally don't use Android Auto and I can't see what the disconnect would be considering Aurora Store is only a client, and shouldn't interfere with an app's structure. I've been using it for a little over a year now and have updated major system apps like Google Play Services, Android System Webview, Android AICore, etc etc, without any glitching or incompatibilities. I'd be curious to see why Android Auto performs this way. I wonder if it depends on the Google Play Store for it to work. That's a new thing I've noticed that Google and Microsoft are doing, they're forcing their products to be dependent on eachother, for anything to work. Seemingly as a workaround for people who outsource to other services, such as FOSS alternatives.
