I really love solitaire, and I’m looking for a good looking FOSS app. Ideally it should have Klondlike and Napoleon’s Tomb. I currently am using the Simple Solitaire Collection( link found here ), which is good but doesn’t look very modern.

Back in 2007-ish I told my Mum all about how you could jailbreak iphones and unlock them to make the phone with other carriers. I helped alleviate any concerns by convincing her and myself that if there are any problems after the procedure, nothing physically has been changed on the phone and as long as I made a backup first, we...

You’d think this would be easier than it seems to be in reality. I am interested in getting a Sony Xperia 5V or Xperia 1V. Where I live, phones can’t make calls unless they support VoLTE. The phones in question support basically all the bands I need them to support and I’ve found several encouraging Reddit posts from...

I’m trying to make sure that if I import a phone to my country, it will likely work pretty much wherever I may go here. Most phones I’m looking at support every 4G band operated here, but I’ve noticed that on the GSM arena website, they will often give a list of supported bands for a given phone followed by a dash and a...

I want to set up a ‘home phone’ network for the kids in a couple of different households. The kids are too young to have their own phones, but are currently dependent on parents to contact each other in the way we did when we were kids...

I’d like to harden my device and put some of my apps (mail & chat mostly) behind an additional layer of security. I found this app, that comes pretty close to what I had in mind....

This used to just be how it worked, I don’t know what changed. I have for a long time used VLC to navigate to files on my computer in the other room so I can stream video to my phone that are stored on the computer....

Is there an iOS-styled launcher that is open-source and conforms to Material You? I find drawers a little bit inconvenient.

Does anyone know of a free privacy friendly camera app with funny filters and/or vignettes I can give my children to play around with?...

google never says it’s foss and it makes sense why theyd not foss it, extend and extinguish. flathub says proprietary, wikipedia says both, im very confused

They seem too small and consistent in size to just be bundles of system apps that got security fixes the past month. Are they like differential patches or something? How are they applied? And what happens while the ‘finishing system update’ notification is shown? (as far as I can tell the phone remains unlocked while...

I am using Insular and create a work profile....

Last commit on the repo was in 2020. I don’t really know.

A few months ago I dropped my phone (Samsung Galaxy A70) and the screen broke. Got a new phone, problem solved. But there is some data on it that I forgot to include in my backups. Very small files but important for achive purposes....

I’m running Calyx OS (which for my device is on Android 13 at the moment). I would like to have better control over which Bluetooth-connections my phones attempts to connect to when enabled and which it does not. Right now, it seems to try to connect to whatever it was connected to last, even though it is no where near me. I...

My device, Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G, is currently running on Android 14 (PixelOS). There’s unlimited Google Photos backup. I have turned on device folder backups. While Google Photos app provides an option to delete all the photos in default camera folder which have been uploaded, there’s no such option for device folders like...

Hi, I just upgraded my Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G to Android 14 via PixelOS (a custom ROM). Best things I like about it is that it’s way smoother and faster than Android 13 (PixelOS). I got to experience Pixel specific features as well. I liked AI wallpaper but it takes some time to generate even with 100 Mbps connection. Other than...

I really like the simple, stock - ish layout on my home screen, which rules out a few popular suggestions like Niagara....

I ask because I have an old phone running Android 7, and aim not really in a place to upgrade. There’s exactly 1 build of Android 8 for this phone on XDA but it’s an unofficial version of Lineage that breaks VoLTE, so I don’t use it....

I know Google changed it to 3 columns in landscape a few months ago, and it’s better this way. But did they also change it from 2 to 1 in portrait? And I just didn’t notice until recently. It’s so stupid looking this way. Any way to change the column number?
