Enough shit about reddit. Get back to work folk. Tell me a phone with no bloatware at all, or no app pre-installed at all.

Hello, world! Is it possible to somehow remove an unlocked bootloader warning on newer Motorola phones? I've tried to flash custom logo.bin via fastboot flash logo command. Boot logo has changed but the warning hasn't been removed. Instead it just became plain text (as well as whole fastboot menu). Would be grateful for any of you suggesting something ;)

(Sure would be nice if I could post this on GrapheneOS's unofficial sublem, but anyway . . . ) Using Graphene, I made a local Seedvault backup on my phone that I would like to upload to the cloud, specifically with/to Filen, but I can't seem to do this, and I'm not aware of any of my other files having this issue. Is this a permissions issue with Seedvault, or is there something else going on?

Specifically Typewise which is the only keyboard I know of with hex-shaped keys suited to my fat fingers. Unfortunately it's proprietary. Installed it from Aurora, can't seem to downgrade. Any ideas? Have a look at attached screenshot. The bottom of the keyboard disappears off the screen. Update was supposed to fix this but made it worse. 😠 EDIT: In case anyone has the same problem, I found that rolling back to version 3020308 on Aurora solved the issue.

Ive been trying to find some new interesting apps on the playstore but the problem is that I cant find anything that wasnt paid to show up first on the lists. I know already about F-droid.

Theres a few issue raised today on github. For linux and android. I friend also can't send from Molly. One of the commanders suggests it might be due to AWS issue. https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status Not sure if thats the case but FYI incase anyone Looks here.

Is there an Android ROM that has the ability to provide the app with fake camera stream, location, microphone stream, gallery, storage files etc...? It would be incredibly useful to allow apps to work while giving no info / no access to private informations / permissions.

Hello, I just switched to Android 13, and I am wondering what is this toggle doing on top of the 3 options? A bit confused. Edit: on Asus zenfone 10, in case it varies from vendor to vendor

*(cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/19917523)* Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they're all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?

(Maybe edit the community name in the mod settings)

Hi everyone, I have a problem where the alarm on my Google Pixel phone is dismissed after about 10 minutes of ringing, causing me to miss my alarm. Is there a way to make the alarms ring indefinitely, or at least for 1 hour before it's automatically dismissed?

Another weather app for android. Modern design, take a look. 👀

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/52720355 I am using neo backup often I run into storage issues so I am wondering if there is a possibility of backing data with git, root, Termux, Tasker .

It came as an update, and I installed it without thinking. I did see the size before launching thankfully and uninstalled - how screwed am I?

Hello, I bought my first used phone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro) and was wondering what are the best practices taken before using it. I've read the reviews of the merchant selling the phone, looked into ratings and asked some questions about the condition of the phone, so I'm sure of my purchase on that end. What about after receiving the phone? I know I would run a factory reset, aside from that, is there anything else to do?

I'm looking for a way to dump raw data from an entire phone or at least the `sda` block to a PC, using a method other than `adb pull`. When I run `adb pull /dev/block/sda sdaDump.img`, it creates a dump file. To find what I need, I have to search through this raw data using a `Hex Editor`. If the dump comes from a fully functioning phone, I can usually find what I’m looking for because all the data is still intact. However, I accidentally wiped the `metadata` partition on my phone, so the decryption keys/files are gone. Now, because of that, some folders appear empty when checked with TWRP's File Manager, even though the actual files are still there. If I create a dump now, the raw data in the file won't be the same as when the `metadata` was present, and those folders weren't showing as empty. Running `adb pull /dev/block/sda sdaDump.img` now results in a dump where the `Hex Editor` shows zeroes (no data) where these files should be. Is there any alternative method to create a raw data dump of the `sda` block or entire phone storage, that will capture that data as it is (not empty folders, but the data in them), even if it's encrypted? I don't want to create the raw data dump onto the phone storage and then transfer it to a PC, but something that works like `adb pull`, in the sense that it pulls the data from the phone directly onto a PC. Thanks a lot in advance to everyone!

Asymmetric bezels low key bug me. Are there technical reasons why they're hard?

I know it's very specific, lol. But my Samsung S8 is basically just a portabel 4G modem for me now. Since the screen is cracked and I don't want to spend money on that old phone. I usually access the phone to scrcpy, it works but since the screen is unuseable, I can no longer give adb access to another devices. So I just want to know whether is it posible to give it some short of webui that I can access to do basic stuff like turning hotspot on or off, etc.

Anyone got a *modern* guide to getting NFC payments working with the latest version of Lineage? I've got a OnePlus 5T (dumpling) running LOS 20. Got some of my banking apps working - but Google Wallet just won't work.

The storage and processing power of modern smartphones are touted to rival those of a typical laptop. Yet, my trash-picked testing system from over a decade ago with a bottom-of-the-barrel SATA SSD can still boot to the Linux desktop faster than all but one of my Android devices. Understandably, this isn't a huge priority since very few people are cold booting their phones every morning. But is it just plain unoptimized? How hard would it be to optimize? Do security features and checks bog it down? Is it that there's many tiny files to load when booting? What gives?

crosspostato da: https://lemmy.kde.social/post/77928 > Hello! I'm trying to make google maps go work on my android smartphone. Google maps go is basically a wrapper of the website, that should provide navigation feature with another app called "navigator for Google maps". I have both installed, but when I click on "navigate in app", the link "maps.app.goo.gl/somethingverylong" is redirected to the play store website instead of being opened with the navigator app. Both apps have all permissions granted. What am I doing wrong? > > Bonus question: do I really need the google maps go app or is it also possible to redirect to the navigator app from the browser? > Bonus question #2: would the navigator app work without google play services, on a degoogled rom? > > Thanks in advance!

6a latest updates including security patches. I’ve experienced a few really frustrating bugs and would like the communities help to figure out possible causes or solutions. 1. Google assistant crashes after the trigger phrase is said. Solution: google app clear cache and data 2. Alarms quick tile is not showing the next alarm, but is showing the next due date/time associated with a task in Microsoft to-do. Clicking the tile opens Microsoft todo to the task. This occurs even though the next alarm is before this tasks due date/time. Why isn’t the tile opening the clock/alarm app?!?!?!? Solution: ?? Help ?? 3. Poor modem reception for lte/5g networks. Sitting in the car, Girlfriends iPhone had strong 5g, pixel kept dropping network and not operating voice or data. Restarts didn’t work. Solution: ?? Help ??
