Hello! I have a pixel 7 with GrapheneOS, and would like to install eSpeak as TTS engine. On fdroid there is no release available, and on github if I download the apk and try to install it, a “the app cannot be installed because your device is not compatible” error is thrown. Why this? And how can I install it?

Hello! I am analyzing the battery usage of each app, and noticed that Mull browser is always on the very top of the list, even during night (between 4.00 AM and 6.00 AM). How is this possible? Is it an android error? I’m using GrapheneOS (Android 14)

I've got an older phone that predates any OS I can find readily, but did find out of date Lineage here. They also have a website with cyanogen. I'm not really worried about destroying the phone, but would rather not download something from a known bad source. Does anyone know if this site is acceptable?...

Hello! Just switched from my old device with android 10 to my new pixel with Android 14 (GrapheneOS), and I’m missing a lot the persistent notification feature of android 10: I used Tasks.org from fdroid to get reminders in my notifications tray, and until I manually clicked “completed” there was no way to remove them, not...

It’s actually compact, cheap, has oled, in-screen fingerprint reader, stock Android, NFC, Snapdragon SOC, supports GSI and has unlockable bootloader. Seems like a perfect phone (well except nonexpandable storage), so what’s the catch?

Just wondering if such an option is possible on a phone that is totally Google-free or is virtually de-Googled?

Hello! I’m currently very very dependent on TickTick (not tiktok) because of a single simple feature: persistent notification alerts. I can set events and tasks as in many other similar apps, but once the reminder is triggered, a persistent notification is showed, until I manually say “mark as completed” or “remind me...
