Are there any apps to block trackers etc.. For apps? For example the "I don't care about cookies" extension or Ghostery for Firefox and Chrome. I use mullvad DNS but is there anything like those above for apps that can reject all cookies automatically, or block them? The amount of cookies to deny in just the app in the video alone is crazy ([video attached](https://streamain.com/Dprvo3c7JFTAhj0/watch)).

I've been looking for something like the old app making 3D wallpapers from GCam lens blur photos, but found nothing. This is not the same, but it is quite good nonetheless.

Hey! I would like to hear from you if you have a successful method to block the various cookie banners like: * small banners * full page banners with complicated structure * full page banners which say 'pay or accept' * bonus points for newsletter popups I do use uBlock and PiHole. But when I used extensive lists which handled cookies, my experience was that most websites broke some kind or another. So please share your successful ways with me :)

If I toggle it on and off it'll actually stay off for a day or two but it always comes back. I'm on a Galaxy S20 Android 13 I believe.

Does anyone happen to know the reset network connections script or command that runs when I hit the network reset button? Or how I can achieve a similar result?

I connected to airport's Wi-Fi and this symbol popped up on the corner of the Wi-Fi symbol?

RutheniumOS is a fork of GrapheneOS with very broad claims and also accusations toward GrapheneOS. They throw around claims that are not true, which is a common (Brax, Punkt) but ugly practice. Dont use it Guys!

Check the Software part for this device. Funnily, it's listed as Android 15.

My requirements are that it has pen support(either proprietary or usi I don't care), an unlockable bootloader, and a fairly powerful snapdragon processor (preferably 8 gen 3 or 8 elite or something).

hi there, a couple of month i tried the mLauncher which really helps me with its distraction free text only style. But I really miss tasks and appointments cause I dont see widgets and need to open the distinct APP. Is there an open source launcher with Text only + widget support? cheers

I unbricked my asus X00PD back to stock rom and now that I know how to do it, I can experiment with other OS like Lineage. According to the official Lineage site, my model (asus X00PD) is not compatible. However, according to https://tweakdroid.com/lineage/asus-zenfone-max-m1-zb556kl-zenfone-max-m1-m2-m3-zb555kl-x00pd-x00p-1/#toc5 it's supported. Has any of you successfully installed Lineage on a X00PD? If you know of other non proprietary OS I could install on my smartphone, I'm all ears.

Hello Lemmy Android community! I have a Fairphone 4 and don't like the appearance of the default launcher much. The basic icon grid is OK but the clock and search bar (that sometimes displays the date, probably some bug) are ugly and I can't find a way to customize them properly / remove the widgets. So I'm looking for an alternative launcher. There are many options and I tried a few FOSS launchers but didn't like their appearance either. What I'm searching for is a standard looking launcher with a nice digital clock and possibly some weather info. So what I mean with standard is app icon grid plus nice clock above. The screenshots from Nova Launcher on the Play Store page look nice but it's not open source AFAIK. At this point however I'm also open to closed source suggestions. UPDATE: I failed to read the sticky. This question is already answered here: https://lemmy.world/post/452301

I still use an unsupported 2018 Asus ZenFone Max (M1) ZB555KL X00PD with a broken screen. I’d like to change the screen. Measures of the device: 156 x 77.5 x 10.6 mm (6.14 x 3.05 x 0.42 in). Now, I don’t know if these are standard measurements for a certain set of smartphones (the ones that can be held and used with just one hand) or if any company can choose what size it uses for their devices, making finding a screen that fits incredibly more difficult. The other question is, how difficult would it be to do it myself?

I'm working with limited battery duration but Launchy would be immensely useful for my home screens. I don't want to use it, though, if it is heavy on the battery.

You can sideload the xbox fire tv app on a android/google tv. However you are unable to sign in as it boots you to the wrong page. On a fire tv its supposed to have you do some steps. On a side note you can sideload the new xbox app to an unsupported fire stick and sign in like normal.

The phone I want is only available as GSM/Global and says it specifically won't work with Verizon. Is that information up to date? I thought CDMA was abandoned a while ago. This phone works on LTE and shares some 4g and 5g bands with Verizon. Can I use it?

Following this thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-app-root-disable-block-ipv6-on-android-prevent-ipv6-leak-on-vpn.3298659/page-2 I discovered that `echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6` indeed works on my Samsung Galaxy S23 (One UI 7.0). However, a reboot undoes this, because it reloads system configs from a prepackaged image. One could decompress the image, make the relevant tweaks, recompress the image and have Bob be your uncle that way, according to a quick search on the World Wide Web. However, for those of you that use Magisk - and *maybe* are rooted through Magisk, I am unsure (my S23 *is* rooted with Magisk) -, there are some directories that I suppose Magisk sets up to be used for custom boot up scripts: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/guides.md#boot-scripts Taking inspiration from these two guides: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-how-to-run-a-script-at-every-boot-using-magisk.4454493/ https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-how-to-change-any-file-or-directory-using-magisk.4543103/ I decided to put my script for disabling ipv6 into `/data/adb/service.d` While this did disable ipv6 for some of the interfaces among the - pardon my French - messed up array that is the Android network stack (since I don't understand it, that is...), some interfaces either remain ipv6-enabled or get reconfigured during or after boot. Thus, I tried giving the script some waiting time, which worked. Now, after each boot, all of my relevant interfaces are ipv6-disabled: ``` #!/system/bin/sh sleep 60 ; echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6 ``` This did *not* prolong the boot process 60 seconds. Edit: while the configuration does "survive", or rather, come into effect at boot, it resets at WiFi disconnect. Maybe it has to do with MAC address randomization being turned on. I'm not putting more time and effort into this. Edit2: I guess the takeaway is, that you could run a great variety of scripts this way.

 >"I didn't do anything to deserve this. The phone sat on my desk while I wrote about it, and I would occasionally stop to poke the screen, take a screenshot, or open and close it. It was never dropped or exposed to a significant amount of grit, nor had it gone through the years of normal wear and tear that phones are expected to survive. This was the lightest possible usage of a phone, and it still broke." This can happen to any phone of course — there are numerous threads on reddit of faulty S23 phones that are only days old, and of course the first Galaxy fold phones were problematic — but still. Rough start!

This week, we are going for a more generalized topic on how you use your Android devices for work. I'm boring in regards to work apps, so I very much favor using Microsoft apps over Google apps for work, as overall I feel Google apps work better on iPhones than on Android (to my great frustration). Office and Teams work exactly how I expect them to, while their desktop version are a bit bloated, on Android they work super well, and there really is no replacement that's as good as Microsoft Lens for scanning printed documents into PDFs. But, I understand my use for Android for productivity is fairly limited, so, I'm interested to see if we can put our head together and find some interesting ways to use your Android devices to help us all be more productive.

When I'm driving with the phone is a dashboard mount, everything else on the phone is super slow and laggy. To the point where if something doesn't work via voice control, I'm afraid to do it manually like when stopped at a red light, in case I can't switch back to navigation before I need to make a turn. Google Maps on OnePlus 9 w sd888. Is there in existence yet a phone that's fast enough for task switching while navigating? Is it just Google maps being a resource hog? Is there a better app?

> Storage gradually becomes less valuable as apps and software on devices seem to get bigger. To combat this, Google now...

My first one was a Samsung Galaxy S1 that I got in 2013 and it was a great little device that was easy to open up and repair. It had only 512MB of RAM but that was plenty for basic phone needs, web browsing and running some Android apps like AnkiDroid at the time.

Hi, I want to pay with online prepaid visa in person. I could add it to Google Pay, but Google Pay doesn't support NFC payments on GrapheneOS. Do you know any other app that lrts you do that?

Also citing the [release notes](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/release-notes) directly, here are the bug fixes that this update introduces: >- Fixed an issue that caused the system to stop detecting a SIM card if Fixed Dialing Number (FDN) features were enabled. > >- Fixed an issue that caused connectivity interruptions for devices with carriers using 5G standalone (SA) mode. > >- Fixed an issue for some devices where a blank home screen displayed after unlocking the device. > >- Fixed a performance issue by temporarily disabling feather-styled live wallpaper on Pixel Fold. The live wallpaper version will be re-enabled after the other underlying issues are fixed.

I currently have a Redmi note 10 5G. It has 4gb + 3gb of RAM (RAM extension feature) which is not even that bad. But still for some reason my system just feels bad in general. Apps just stop working when in background which is really annoying when I need to multitask. I have seen phones with the same ram as mine (less if you the 3gb from memory extension) which just work so much better. And I am begging to think it must be something about MIUI. Will that get any better once Hyper OS comes around? Or do you think I should just install a custom ROM? If the second option is the best, what should I install now that custom roms are not so popular? Also os there any way to install other OSs? I for example like how Huawei's Harmony OS looks, is it even possible?

So like the title says,I have my S23 on cell data and Firefox and Chrome say I'm in Florida when I'm actually I'm NY. I turned on location data, turned off ad block (I really don't want to do that) and some other extentions amd did a restart. Any idea where I go next? Edit/small update- I was in Connecticut yesterday and tried it again on cell data, it had me in Pittsburgh, so it's something on AT&Ts end. I'd like to thank everyone for commenting, I appreciate it.
