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.

I experience that my memory is used up on my android phone, but I dont understand what drains the memory. I only found AnotherMonitor on fdroid, but it doesnt appear to show which app is consuming memory. Only total consumption. Are there any good apps or solutions for this? Or at least as autonomous slash private as possible.

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

(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?

I want to start learning android dev and I understand that I’ll need the android sdk and cli tools. I want to try it in a kvm because even though it is open source, I would like to keep it separate from my main system. Which distro and vm settings do you suggest I use? Any other tips or your experience with android development on linux would be helpful as well.

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

Russia is the most sanctioned country in the world. Youtube is blocked in Russia. Moscow court fines Google in $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Google allows MAX, a Russian state surveillance app, on the Play Store. Irony?

App for location based reminders/alarms? I'm looking for a nice app that can trigger reminders or alarms when I reach a certain location or connect to a certain wifi network. I tried "Wifi Reminders" on [#FDroid](https://ma.fellr.net/tags/FDroid) [https://f-droid.org/packages/ru.glesik.wifireminders/](https://f-droid.org/packages/ru.glesik.wifireminders/) but it didn't work. Ideally, it should be either open source or a one time purchase. Thank you for any tips.

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.

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?

any ideas on making an android phone (LOS 22.2, root) more dormant in standby? I got a couple older ex-flagships with beefier SoC that aren't super-energy efficient and chew through the battery without doing anything. they got no SIM cards and broadband is disabled by way of Airplane mode, they're on wifi with very few background apps (syncthing, KDE Connect - tried without them, same) and still they barely last 24 hours doing nothing, just sitting there with SoT of like 5 mins. tried just LOS (with unifiedpush) and LOS + microG + replace FOSS apps with Gplay apps, thinking that background sync could be the issue, no significant difference. I've tried some tools like 3c CPU Manager that let you underclock CPU and GPU, but them things are for people trying to maximize their SoT, like use less power while they're being used. what I'm looking for is something to bring the consumption way, *way* down when it's not being used.

I'm going on a trip soon and trying to get myself some things to do. What Android games should I play? Obviously not some cash grab games but something proper. My most played games are Kerbal Space Program, Minecraft, Stormworks, Red dead Redemption 2, Forza Horizon 5, Farming Simulator 19 and 22 and BeamNG. I'm thinking of Pokemon Fire Red on some emulator. Other suggestions?

Faster charging, support for Wi-Fi 7, upgraded uwb and the pixel being sold in more countries.

I have [#Openkey-chain](https://libranet.de/search?tag=Openkey-chain) installed on my [#Android](https://libranet.de/search?tag=Android) phone and use it with [#fairmail](https://libranet.de/search?tag=fairmail) for sending [#PGP](https://libranet.de/search?tag=PGP) [#encrypted](https://libranet.de/search?tag=encrypted) [#email](https://libranet.de/search?tag=email). For the life of me I can figure out how to import it into my [#webmail](https://libranet.de/search?tag=webmail) client, [#horde](https://libranet.de/search?tag=horde), for using it there. I have an option to import [#key](https://libranet.de/search?tag=key), but I don't know how to actually get the key into a place that I can import it.

I want to set up a 'home phone' network for the kids in a couple of different households. The kids are too young to have their own phones, but are currently dependent on parents to contact each other in the way we did when we were kids My idea at the moment is to set up an old Android phone on the wifi in each house with messenger or similar, then uninstall all other internet apps and lock down the play store Does this sound like the best option? If there a better tool that is still cheap/free and will be relatively safe for the kids to use unattended?

I am using Jerboa. Liking It so far, but wanna see other options. What are you guys using?

Apk extractor from F-Droid doesn't seem to work. App in question is Typewise Offline (android keyboard with hex-shaped keys). EDIT: Probably worth a separate post at some point, but this is one of the few apps for which there is no open source equivalent, TTBOMK, and one of the few remaining proprietary apps that I rely on.

I've been unable to use it for weeks now, anybody knows if there's something wrong? Or is it just on my end?

Similar to the very random Share suggestions this has been a pet peeve of mine for ever: How in god's name does Android decide which 3 devices to display in this screen? Two of those I have not connected to in ages and one of those only maybe once or twice ever. Is there any way to change this? I would so love to have my most used devices there to save me a click and searching through the long list of saved devices. Any ideas? If not, that's fine as well, I'm also happy to just have ranted a little.
