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 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?

I had a Huawei phone which had a fingerprint reader at the bottom and a friend of mine had a phone with a fingerprint reader at the side of the phone....

I really don’t like the file picker now - when sharing images or anything else, it shows inconsistent and incomplete lists of folders, and although I can then choose to go to Browse and pick that way, I’d rather just have that by default. Anyone know if it’s possible?

same thing with lemmy clients, manually clicking through 100 check boxes of supported domains… can’t the app ask to do it on first launch? or is my setup to blame?

I played Dragons Quest Tactics on and off for about a year but I never thought it was very good at all and there were a lot of annoying aspects I hated, recently the game decided to delete all my progress and characters so I’m done with it for good. Is there anything actually fun to play on Android in the same vein?
