Currently using htop on termux but would ideally like something similar to the system monitor on KDE, that can show a graph of individual core usage as well as memory usage. Does anything like that exist that's open source?

Wish there was an \*\*Android Studio Lite\*\* version of the IDE that is targeted to low powered devices and has only bare minimum features to develop an app. [\#AndroidDev](https://fosstodon.org/tags/AndroidDev) [#Android](https://fosstodon.org/tags/Android) [#Jetbrains](https://fosstodon.org/tags/Jetbrains) [#Google](https://fosstodon.org/tags/Google) [@[email protected]](https://lemmy.ml/c/android) [@[email protected]](https://lemmy.world/c/android) [@[email protected]](https://lemdro.id/c/android) [@fossdroid](https://social.fossware.space/c/fossdroid)

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.

Hey all, so I used Blokada (5, I think) for a long time but then when they forced an upgrade I moved on to AdAway. AdAway is great, it's not perfect, but it gets the job done. I decided to give ProtonVPN a try, due to recent state legislative website laws. I like it, it's cool but it doesn't block ads in the free version and AdAway can't run at the same time, afaik. I've heard lots of people talking about how great FF with ublock is and I only recently switched back to Firefox so I'm considering giving that a try but I'm getting overwhelmed. What is the right combination to block most ads as well pretending to be from another state?

## Leaving lemmy[.]ml Just wanted to make others aware that the main admin of lemmy[.]ml and lead developer of the lemmy open source project, Dessalines, actively spreads disinformation and suppresses anyone he disagrees with - see this post [1]. Granted lemm[.]ml is **his** platform, but that doesn't mean we have to support or continue building community here. My advice is to join existing communities on other servers and unsubscribe from anything on lemmy[.]ml and block the instance. Stop giving power to those who seem to support Putin/Russia [2] [3] . For more evidence against lemmy[.]ml, lemmygrad[.]ml, their admins or its userbase (Dessalines, Nutomic, Yogthos, etc), see the links below. Lots more evidence over at [email protected] Thanks for coming to my ted talk. ### Alternatives for this community - Community: [email protected] - URL: https://lemmy.world/c/android - Community: [email protected] - URL: https://lemdro.id/c/android ### Sources [1] https://lemmy.world/post/31368129 [2] https://lemmy.world/post/30663428 [3] https://lemmy.world/post/31090903

With this new feature (#5370), it is now possible to mirror a new virtual display, with a custom size: ```bash scrcpy --new-display=1920x1080 scrcpy --new-display=1920x1080/420 # force 420 dpi scrcpy --new-display # use the main display size and density scrcpy --new-display=/240 # use the main display size and 240 dpi ``` On some devices, a launcher is available in the virtual display. When no launcher is available, the virtual display is empty. In that case, you must [start an Android app][start-app]. [start-app]: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/device.md#start-android-app For example: ```bash scrcpy --new-display=1920x1080 --start-app=org.videolan.vlc ``` To list the Android apps installed on the device: ```bash scrcpy --list-apps ``` For convenience, you can also select an app by its name using a `?` prefix: ```bash scrcpy --start-app=?firefox ``` However, retrieving app names may take some time (sometimes several seconds), so passing the package name is recommended. ## On-device OpenGL filters Scrcpy can now transform the captured video stream before encoding by applying OpenGL filters directly on the device. This has made it possible to fix several issues and implement new features, as described below (more details in #5455). ### Crop The `--crop` option was broken for devices running Android >= 14 (#4162). It has been reimplemented using OpenGL filters internally. Its usage remains the same: ```bash scrcpy --crop=800:600:100:100 ``` It now also works for camera and virtual displays. ### Capture orientation The `--lock-video-orientation` option was broken for devices running Android >= 14 (#4011). It has been replaced by a more general option `--capture-orientation`, implemented using OpenGL filters: ```bash scrcpy --capture-orientation=0 scrcpy --capture-orientation=90 # 90° clockwise scrcpy --capture-orientation=180 # 180° scrcpy --capture-orientation=270 # 270° clockwise scrcpy --capture-orientation=flip0 # hflip scrcpy --capture-orientation=flip90 # hflip + 90° clockwise scrcpy --capture-orientation=flip180 # hflip + 180° scrcpy --capture-orientation=flip270 # hflip + 270° clockwise ``` The capture orientation can be locked by using a `@` prefix, so that a physical device rotation does not change the captured video orientation: ``` scrcpy --capture-orientation=@ # locked to the initial orientation scrcpy --capture-orientation=@0 # locked to 0° scrcpy --capture-orientation=@90 # locked to 90° clockwise scrcpy --capture-orientation=@180 # locked to 180° scrcpy --capture-orientation=@270 # locked to 270° clockwise scrcpy --capture-orientation=@flip0 # locked to hflip scrcpy --capture-orientation=@flip90 # locked to hflip + 90° clockwise scrcpy --capture-orientation=@flip180 # locked to hflip + 180° scrcpy --capture-orientation=@flip270 # locked to hflip + 270° clockwise ``` Now, it also works for camera (fixing #4426) and virtual displays. ### Custom rotation A new option `--angle` allows to rotate the content by a custom angle. Combined with `--crop`, this is especially useful for mirroring the Meta Quest 3 (#4135, #4345, #4658). ### Virtual display rotation The new virtual display feature initially could not rotate. The rotation has been implemented using OpenGL filters. (That is what triggered the development of OpenGL filters.) Like previously, the current app can be rotated by <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>r</kbd> ([shortcuts](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/shortcuts.md)). ## Screen off timeout The existing option [`--stay-awake`](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/device.md#stay-awake) only keeps the device awake **while it is plugged in*, meaning it typically does not work over TCP/IP. A new option, [`--screen-off-timeout`](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/dev/doc/device.md#screen-off-timeout), modifies the screen-off timeout setting while scrcpy is running and restores it on exit: ```bash scrcpy --screen-off-timeout=300 # 300 seconds (5 minutes) ``` ## Static builds For convenience, static builds are now provided for [Linux](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/linux.md) and [macOS](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/macos.md) (#5515). More targets might be added in the future. This is still experimental for now, so if you encounter problems, please report them. ## Features you might have missed If you haven't tried scrcpy in a while, here are some features introduced in the 2.x versions that you might have missed (check the release notes to each version for more details): - [scrcpy 2.7](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.7): gamepad support - [scrcpy 2.6](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.6): audio duplication - [scrcpy 2.5](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.5): control-only & mouse improvements - [scrcpy 2.4](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.4): UHID keyboard and mouse - [scrcpy 2.3](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.3): camera support improvements - [scrcpy 2.2](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.2): camera capture - [scrcpy 2.1](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.1): microphone capture - [scrcpy 2.0](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/tag/v2.0): audio forwarding --- - BlueSky: [`@scrcpy.bsky.social`](https://bsky.app/profile/scrcpy.bsky.social) - Twitter: [`@scrcpy_app`](https://twitter.com/scrcpy_app) - Reddit: [`r/scrcpy`](https://www.reddit.com/r/scrcpy)

Hey everyone! Because of how Mastodon and Lemmy are spread across multiple domains, I made an app for Android to help make following shared fediverse links hopefully a bit easier. Mastodon/Lemmy Redirect has support for most Mastodon and Lemmy instances, and lets you choose which client you want the links to open in, even if that client doesn't support deep linking. It needs some initial setup because Android is very much not built for one app to have so many deep link domains specified, but it should be easy on Android 11 and later. Both variants are free and open source and there's support for a bunch of clients already. I'd love to hear your feedback on behavior/UI/new clients/whatever. Right now, downloads are available through the GitHub releases tab. I may put the apps on the Play Store, but I don't think they'll be happy about all the deep link domains. Let me know if this isn't a good place to post this and I'll remove it.

I'm using NewPipe but some functionalities are lacking. Looked at revanced but unsure about it's reputation. Also, will I get banned by using a modded YT client? Thanks.

> That’s why later this summer, we're launching a refreshed Find My Device experience that makes it easier than ever to locate your devices and belongings quickly and securely by ringing compatible devices or viewing their location on a map in the app – even when they’re offline. The new Find My Device network will harness over a billion Android devices across the world to help you locate your missing belongings like headphones, tracker tags, or even your phone via Bluetooth proximity. This earlier announcement about a joint effort with Apple to work out how stop stalkers and other criminals from abusing these networks now makes a bit more sense: https://security.googleblog.com/2023/05/google-and-apple-lead-initiative-for.html

Yes you can monitor which app eats what, and probably circumvent this with a vpn layer, but sometimes I just wish I would be able to pause an app's access to the net

Can someone help me find a custom ROM for the Galaxy S23 FE?

Do you keep lists of your favorite things, such as movies, books, recipes, or music albums? You might keep list(s) that looks like this: - Network (1976) - Lone Star (1996) - Devils (1971) - The Seventh Seal (1957) - ... _Many more films_ But how do you rank these? You might be tempted to order them by preference, but this could quickly get overwhelming for long lists. A much easier method is to use [pairwise comparisons](https://www.opinionx.co/blog/pairwise-comparison), which shows you single head-to-head pairs, and has you choose which one you like best. After doing a small number of these matchups, Rank-My-Favs can confidently create a ranked list for you. Under the hood, Rank-My-Favs uses the advanced [Glicko rating system](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glicko_rating_system), to determine how many matches are necessary, and for ranking. ### Features - Import your existing lists quickly. - Uses the advanced [Glicko rating system](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glicko_rating_system). ### Built With - [Android Jetpack Compose](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose) ## Installation / Releases - [Releases](https://github.com/dessalines/rank-my-favs/releases) - [IzzyOnDroid](https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.dessalines.rankmyfavs) - [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.dessalines.rankmyfavs/) - [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dessalines.rankmyfavs) ## Support / Donate Rank-My-Favs will always remain free, open-source software.

I use basic Google Pixel Camera app that forces me to have Google Photos installed so I can view my photos. My workaround is just going to the gallery directly. I don't use GrapheneOS's camera as I've seen worse quality when comparing two. I heard of modded Google Camera's for specific devices. Any suggestions?

For anyone interested, here's a new Lemmy community for sharing Android apps that go on sale in the Google Play Store: [https://lemmy.ca/c/playstoredeals](https://lemmy.ca/c/playstoredeals)

Hi to all the community, a month ago bought a Fire tablet and installed KO Reader to work (more often to highlight ideas in the books). My doubt is, how can I configure to save the highlight parts while I'm working? Only find the possibility of exit from the document to save ..

I recently discovered F(x)tec Pro1 X, Cosmo Communicator and the upcoming Astro Slide. Anyone having these devices? Wondering how it performs, how battery life, how the keyboard. I know about supply issues, but I saw a few options on e-Bay. Also looks like only F(x)tec Pro1 X supported by LineageOS.

I’m thinking of migrating to grapheneos from ios, what are some things that I should be aware of? Keep in mind, I haven’t used android in about 3 or 4 years and have basically been using an iPhone since the 3GS. Any heads up or tips would be helpful. I’m just really tired of apples new business model and current executives, and am trying to move to all free software. Thanks in advanced.

Reason for posting this question - my laptop battery died and it turns out the bios gets reset every time I turn it on now. Made me think of the old phones I have which cannot be repurposed without getting new batteries.. I guess mandating replaceable batteries is enough but IMHO it should go further

For a while now I have had this problem that everytime I used a voice command for Google Assistant that a few minutes after the command got executed I get the sound of Google Assistant activating and waiting for input for like 2 seconds or so (also with the green microphone activated icon in the corner). Does anyone else experience the same problem or has an idea how I can get rid of this?

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.

cross-posted from: https://beehaw.org/post/837220 tl;dr: in response to pressure from the apple vision pro, google killed their internal "iris" smart glasses effort in order to combine their efforts with samsung & work on one ui for xr & another unnamed headset. in doing so, they've also decided to let all oems skin android xr just like on phones. they're also working on something called "micro xr", but no one knows what that is yet.

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!

Hi, I'm wanting to set up app locking on my Pixel 4a with only a physical device to unlock them. Preferably something keychain-able. Here are some options I've looked into and considering: - Bluetooth device with... - separate Android profile + Smart Lock - [AppLock - Fingerprint app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sp.protector.free&amp;hl=en) - this is the only app of this type I found that supports Bluetooth - NFC tag with... - some app locker app, though I haven't been able to find one that supports NFC - Tasker ([related how-to](https://archive.ph/bNM5U)) Here are some options I've looked into and not considering: - USB-C security key - would prefer a wireless option to not wear out the phone's port - [Unpluq](https://www.unpluq.com/product/unpluq-tag-premium/) - I don't like subscriptions - Smart Lock doesn't support NFC anymore ([request to bring it back](https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/67187451)) Notes: - I actually have an old Google Bluetooth Titan Security Key, but it doesn't seem to work with Smart Lock. It doesn't let me add it as a trusted device despite being successfully paired. I think it might operate on Bluetooth Low Energy. - Seems like NFC might be better than Bluetooth for my purposes since I wouldn't have to worry about battery life. - I don't know what Bluetooth device might work best for this purpose. I believe products like Tile also work on Bluetooth Low Energy. - Any recommendations on NFC tags? Seems like Etsy might be good to get something somewhat customizable and better looking than the blank chips I've seen listed online. Happy to hear anything you have to share on this topic!

Samsung’s One UI Watch 6 beta is now available for the Galaxy Watch 5 and 4 series, moving beyond sole availability for the Watch 6.

...so that the browser will open the desktop version of that particular site? If there is a way of doing this in some other browser, I'd also be interested.

This has started showing up for some reason, suggesting that instead of updating my apps in the background, Google Play is waiting until I open an app to check for updates. Is there like a setting somewhere I need to change?

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/21015575 > Hackers Keyboard has that via ctrl+z, but only in horizontal mode. For this only i had my Galaxy S3 in horizontal per default. But can't do that with modern phones' aspect ratio and i'm missing undo since then.

Today I opened the App Store on my GrapheneOS to see, that Accrescent is now mirrored in it. I know, that GrapheneOS devs have addressed F-droid very negatively it the past ([and they still do that](https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/14452-how-to-explain-why-accrescent-over-f-droid/19)), but imo, including Accrescent as a part of official GOS App Store is very harmful for FLOSS movement, as Accrescent [does not support any third-party repos](https://accrescent.app/faq#other-repos), claiming that they are "breaking the Android security model", and also [allows submitting closed-source apps to the repo](https://accrescent.app/faq#open-source). This unlikely to be the reason for me to change OS, as GrapheneOS is still amazing, but devs rhetoric and actions become more and more concerning for me.
