Option 1: leave everything enabled, & everything works with full spyware enablement too...

Just thought I’d share. Probably nothing new or fancy, but may help some of you find a way to repurpose devices that aren’t worth repairing into home servers or something: e.g. op5 I’ve used has better CPU compared to raspberry pi 4, can run linux (postmarketos, albeit with some caveats), and costs less if bought with...

About time!...

So I’m interested in buying a Pixel 8 to install GrapheneOS in it but I’m also interested in rooting it and from what I’ve read rooting your device with a privacy focused custom ROM like GrapheneOS beats the purpose of installing it, so I don’t know if it’s actually posible to do it or if it actually has any grace,...

I’ve used notification cleaner for years but it’s dead. Anyone recommend alternatives? This has been difficult to find online

Is there any way to install and use the Gemini App without the Google App and forced association of the account with my Android phone?...

I have some apps which I need them to synchronize in the background but they don’t, even with battery optimization turned off. I’ve tried using an app called PhoneProfilesPlus but I don’t need whole profiles, I just want an app to be opened and that’s it....

Hey guys, I am somewhat new to android (went straight to grapheneos) and am a bit annoyed with this widget....

Google’s migration guide for developers lists what they’re supposed to switch to on Android phones and Wear OS. However, there is no replacement for the Goals API that lets Google Fit users set “how many steps and heart points they want to aim for each day.”

I’ve heard the process is a pain in the ass and not very reliable. I am trying to prepare for when Apple adds RCS support because unfortunately in the US almost everyone has an iPhone and refuses to use a messaging app outside of iMessage....

Hi, I am planning to build my own location history service similar to the google maps timeline....

It’s a very long story but ultimately all you need to know is, i have to make sure an unknown app isn’t sending an assload of traffic through port 25 on any network im connected to. How can I confirm this on my android device without an external PC?

There’s a new Google Messages update page that takes up your phone’s entire display every time you open the app....

Starting today, apps made by state and federal governments are getting a new government badge to help users better identify official apps....

I remember that when I used Geometric Weather (not developed anymore, its more known fork is called Breeze Weather) it had a option to notify me when it was going to rain, but know that functionality was removed from Breeze Weather, it’s there any other app with this functionality?

One of the best features of Google Photos is the app’s ability to show old photos as a “Memory,” but sometimes showing a specific person isn’t what you want. Now, Google Photos is preparing to make it easier to hide someone’s face from Memories.

The Google Contacts app is redesigning the process of adding a new contact with less clutter and more intuitive features.

I am fairly new to Tasker and I would like to hear about your clever automations. My automations are mostly location, WiFi and time based ones....

Anyone else think the play store has had such a constant decline to the point where you can barely find an app without being flooded with ads. I pretty much only use f droid at this point because the quality of apps is just higher

I like tasks.org but unfortunately it doesn’t look like this will come any time soon....

Interesting comparison of the AI eraser functions on the Pixel versus the Galaxy.
