Are there any smaller Android tablets around the size of the Ipad Mini (8.3" screen size) that have stylus support? I know about the Lenovo Legion Pro Tab but it seems to be only available in China right now and is going to be very expensive when released in the U.S.

I am looking for an alternative to Airtags and really want to invest into the Android ecosystem. I am not really fond on the pre-ordering thing of it until I get some real reviews. Any thoughts on the subject? It would be really useful to put one on my bike. TIA 😊

I deleted a Gallery app from my Samsung tablet and found out I cannot change the DeX wallpaper anymore (the Settings app says "The required app not found"). Other gallery apps don't help, and the official one is available neither in Google Play nor in Galaxy Store. Is there any other way to change the wallpaper without the Samsung Gallery app? And please don't tell me about doing a factory reset. Thanks an advance.

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.

Pixel 7a may've used a worse packaging material for the SOC resulting in higher heat and worse performance compared to pixel 7 and pixel 6

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?

Looks like Fastmail doesn't have any Android widgets, unfortunately.

My device, Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G, is currently running on Android 14 (PixelOS). There's unlimited Google Photos backup. I have turned on device folder backups. While Google Photos app provides an option to delete all the photos in default camera folder which have been uploaded, there's no such option for device folders like WhatsApp images, WhatsApp videos, etc. I have to go to each photo within Google photos' WhatsApp folder and check if it's uploaded or not and then delete them. Is there any easier way?

Tested and it works well so far.

...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.

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.

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

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.

Recently got the Pixel 7 Pro, but the keyboard on this thing is wack. I liked the Samsung keyboard because you could long press most letters to get a special character. What's the best keyboard for Android?

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.

So, like it says on the tin: I want to try GrapheneOS on my next new-to-me phone, which practically limits me to the Pixel series. And my price point will likely limit me further. Anybody got thoughts on the Pixel 6a vs Pixel 7, those exact models (e.g. not Pixel 7 Pro etc)? I currently have an old phone with Snapdragon 845 and 6GB of RAM which still performs well enough under LineageOS with microG to keep me happy. Fears: that I'll miss the microSD slot; that the 6a's battery life might suck even on GrapheneOS; that the battery on a Pixel might be hard to replace. Nice-to-haves: a camera that works well in low light. Thoughts?

Is there any solution to configure termux to use system default theme instead of what i setup using termux styling app? Even a basic option to set different themes for different modes will help l, so that i can configure it to switch to zenburn when system is in Dark mode and Google light when in light mode.
