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)).

While not seemingly relevant at first glance, turns out they are using Android under the hood Specifically, BlissOS 15 which is Android 12L.

Is there a simple text editor available for Android that doesn't sell my data?

A friend of mine deleted the Mi account associated with his phone, and then tried to reset it. The phone is now blocked with the Mi account... Any ideas on how to unlock the phone?

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/21184378 >The longevity of Android updates has always been a problem, but one that’s been getting better with time. Google has, behind the scenes, introduced some big changes for Android manufacturers that will make it easier for more Android phones to offer support for up to 7 years, just like Pixel.

Hopefully this becomes the app that ends this nonsensical "blue bubble" supremacy by iSheep.

As announced in our re-opening post, we will be conducting a community icon/banner contest this weekend. Rules: 1. Top level comments must include either an icon and or banner design, or both. 2. The contest will run until Monday morning. The icon/banner with the highest upvote count (within reason, of course) wins. 3. The icon design must be a square image with or without transparency, preferably 256x256, but other sizes are fine, provided that they are reasonable. 4. We recommend a banner design of 1280x400, but it should be able to go a bit taller, we'll just see how the winning design looks on the site and adjust accordingly. 5. You are allowed to discuss your design in the comments, but you are not allowed to engage in unethical vote manipulation. (Bots and such) 6. AI generated art is allowed, but please also include your prompt settings if the whole or a significant portion of the image is generated. 7. We'll change the design and run another contest whenever we collectively decides that we are bored with the current ones. Make them interesting, and have fun. UPDATE: At 6 upvotes total, @AlmightySnoo has won the icon contest and will have their design be used for our community until we get bored of it. Congratulations! Since there is no banner submission, we will not change out our existing banner this time.

I work at home mainly and would like to be able to play podcasts from my TV (Fire TV). I tried one or two apps from the regular app store and they were crap. I also tried AntennaPod side-loaded but some functions just don't work right. I'm trying to avoid using YouTube as well, plus fuck their dumb ads. Before anyone says, "Use your phone," I try to keep my phone far away while I work to avoid it distracting me. I could use it to play episodes still but then I don't have a remote to pause or skip or adjust volume. Any suggestions?

Recently I have installed lineageOS 20 on my galaxy J7 2015. Everything works properly, but I have no access to my internal storage! File manager only shows the SD cards content and I can not access the internal storage via any apps. Even when I connect my phone to my laptop, the laptop lists only SD card. Also maybe I should mention that in other hand, TWRP only has access to my internal storage and shows the volume of my SD card `0`. What could be the problem?

Hi, I have been using Harmonoid Music Player which includes fetching lyrics directly without any user intervention. Is there any other app like this? I am asking this because this app hasn't received any updates since the last 2 years and I just want a replacement app when it stops fetching the lyrics.

if I buy a pixel 7a within the next 5 days they'll add on top of the 20% off they already offered, a free pair of pixel a-series buds (retail price $100), so I'd get a 33% discount on both items. online reviews say it's compatible with every android device, but Im going to buy this model to delete the software and install either graphene or lineage, so, will these buds work with either OS?

I have a Razr flip phone that I often use folded halfway (laptop style) and watch videos on the top half while I do other things. Certain video apps center the content across both halves of the screen and I have to activate split screen and put a random app on the bottom half of the screen. Long story short, is there a way to split screen only 1 app to only the top half of the screen? I've tried to search for something but I'm coming up empty.

Started first launch on an app I am working and need 20 testers opted in for 14 days to get to play store. If you want to help out, you can join this **[Google Group](https://groups.google.com/g/printnotes-testers)** and click on link to join as **tester** **UPDATE:** Thank you to everyone that joined as a tester, we are on our way for public release on Google Play Store  ___ I wanted a notes app that followed a more similar approach to file managers with folders instead of "notebooks" but also look like google keep as I really like the look, and I started using obsidian and thought it was cool. The closest thing I found to what I liked was [QuillPad](https://github.com/quillpad/quillpad), but the author decided to not go multiplatform, outside of android, so as I just started learning flutter, I decided it would be fun to do it myself. The project is open source on GitHub [here](https://github.com/RoBoT095/printnotes). I hope this isn't too much self-promotion, but I don't know where else I can go except reddit. I want to release on fdroid and ios app store as well, then when I feel the app is good enough for desktop, get out an application for linux, macOS, and windows too

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 :)

It's been a while since I was into unlocking and ROMing my devices, but I've got the itch again. XDA used to be a good place, but... I hope I'm out of there loop or something, because it's almost a ghost town compared to years ago. I've got us carrier unlocked devices; OnePlus N10 and N20, Moto G7Power. https://lemmings.world/comment/7913421

In today’s post, we will dive deep into many of the issues with Apple’s iOS, what it takes to migrate from iOS to a little-known alternative called GrapheneOS, and why you might want to do so.

I remember the original Syncthing Android app being discontinued and have been putting of dealing with this for way too long. What is the current consensus? Is there any trusted app on the PlayStore, F-Droid, GitHub, ... ? Have you replaced the old app and if so how?

Howdy fellow lemmings, I know your collective knowledge is greater than mine, so I have come to you for your wisdom. My OnePlus 9 is nearing the end of it's life. The power button doesn't work or registers a double press (I use tap2wake and tap2sleep instead) and some other parts are hinting that they're starting to die. Also, something in 915Mhz or 925Mhz seems to be causing random UI reboots at the grocery store. Might be hardware or custom rom related. I'm looking for something with: 1. Unlockable bootloader with option for root. I may or may not root this time around, depends on how tailscale to my pihole at home works. I absolutely must be able to strip out the bloat and preferably the google apps as well (though I'd like to keep the option for play store), I'm extremely ad-phobic. 2. Open hardware that third party developers can properly use. I'm running CrDroid on my OP9 and it's ridiculously great, but cannot make good use of my camera. There are quality issues, cropping issues, and functionality issues and I've experienced similar with other phones I had in the past. Are there manufacturers who publish specs resulting in better 3rd party camera implementations? I would be fine with a more midrange phone, as I don't play many games, but I need the camera to work well. 3. A large/active modding scene is appreciated 4. Bonus points if they don't advertise a bunch of AI bs that I don't want or need 5. Location is USA, though phone can be from anywhere as long as it works. I need at least a few bands to be able to use the phone in Germany. Can anyone advise on which manufacturers meet my requirements? My understanding is: OnePlus - unlockable, rootable, custom ROM cameras suck unless the rom uses default op9 camera and it seems that this doesn't work well with more AOSP-y ROMS Pixel - varies by manufacturer ASUS - I'm seeing concerns about unlocking and Roms though it seems they have been good in the past Nothing Phone - unlockable/rootable Fairphone - seems ideologically pure, but performance, camera, and battery life may not be awesome Suggestions and insights are appreciated.

I’ve been hearing a lot about AI in mobile phones lately, and I’m kind of confused about how it’s different from the usual smart features that Android phones already have. Like, I know Android has stuff like Google Assistant, face unlock, and all those smart options, but then there’s this “AI” term being thrown around everywhere. What’s the actual difference? Is it just a fancy name for features we’ve been using, or does it really add something new? I’m not super tech savvy, so if you guys could explain it in simple terms or share your thoughts, that’d be great. Maybe even some examples of AI in phones?

Hello everyone! A lot has happened since my last post, specifically talking about my LineageOS inquiries. I had a string of bad luck and broke the digitizer but no cracks to my Pixel 7 Pro. So I ended up "upgrading" to the Pixel 8 Pro because the store I went to only had the 8 Pro and not the 7 Pro in stock and it was dire that I have a phone. So this leads me to my next questions: What is your favorite Android spin for your Pixel Device? --- I have used GrapheneOS, LineageOS, and Stock Android (of various versions on my Pro 7) This leads me down the rabbit hole of deciding which experience I want on my Pixel 8 Pro. --- I have GrapheneOS on my 8 Pro right now because I wanted to see if I could make it fit my needs, and I am leaning towards it not working for me. Since I switched, android auto is not connecting even following the instructions GrapheneOS has to offer. AdAway (nonroot) is not working on GrapheneOS, as it just kills any internet connection to everything on GrapheneOS. So that's another point against me wanting to stick with GrapheneOS. No AFwall+. Another point against it. --- It appears that CalyxOS is going to give me a similar experience with issues related to the ones I mentioned with GrapheneOS. -- I had considered trying out [LineageOS for microG](https://lineage.microg.org/) but unsure if this is the route I want to go because I am unsure if some of the apps I will rely on will work for various reasons. (Mainly unsure if MicroG will suffice for them.) --- I am open to other options to, and would love to hear what you are using! --- Thank you!

I have been steady researching this and I have stumbbled upon what lloks like an unfinshed doc for the [Developer Verification Progra](https://developer.android.com/developer-verification/guides/limited-distribution)m Key notes - still no rollout schedule - Fee can be found in FAQ. Says it will be $25 - That you will have to provide a state-issued ID even for the now free "Limited Distribution" that has a 20 device maximum - In the FAQ it shows that this is covering all devices Android 7.0 and up and admits that the Advanced Flow in Google Play Services. - still does not address how they are justifying this at all They have stolen a free product and are now activity locking out the people who built it. [ASOP does not belong to them it belongs to us](https://disintermedia.net.nz/android-time-to-stop-hunting-the-replicants-decker/). Time to get it back I think.

Hi, I would like to forward automatically [Text messages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sms). A couples of years before, I was doing it easily with some [FLOSS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free/libre_and_open-source_software) apps But none of those apps (I keep the apk ;) ) works anymore on "recent" AOSP[^1] phone 🤨 ( Thanks to g**gle, to not take care of retro-compatibility ).. So, I lost time to dig for new apps (FLOSS and not) - https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.pierreduchemin.smsforward/ The GUI is launching, but nothing happen.... not even an error message. - https://apkpure.com/sms-forwarder/com.frzinapps.smsforward in addition do not be FLOSS it weight 70MB XD !!! , no thank you. I'm willing to write a "Shell" script to run under Android, to just do that (I've never developed for Android, so if you have any advice I'm all ears ) or any other solution like - Linux phone ROM ( without systemd ) - or maybe a simcard dongle, to allow my Linux computer to receive/send text ? [^1]: a ROM that use [AOSP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Open_Source_Project) is generally [gapps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Workspace) free 😍

I hope I'm posting in the right community, and that someone can help me out. For the past couple days, my Samsung Galaxy S22 phone has started playing the default [Verizon notification sound](https://youtu.be/h3QlWGGxQvo) about once per day. I haven't nailed down the exact time, but it seems to happen in the morning. The weird part(s)? My phone is on vibrate, and no notification seems to correspond to it. My phone is sitting on the desk, and I hear the sound, so I check my notifications, but nothing new shows up. I check my [Notification Log app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.hcilab.projects.nlog), and it doesn't show any new notifications. I check Settings > Notifications > Advanced Settings > Notification History, and it doesn't show anything either. Today, I've changed my default notification ringtone to see if the new sound is triggered the next time. I'll update if/when that happens. I'm a little concerned that the unexpected behavior could be malware or something, but I'm hoping something is just bugged. Additional info that could be relevant: a couple months ago, I had to install the Libre Free app, and it was constantly making notification sounds, despite my phone being on vibrate. The unattributed notification sounds didn't start until after I stopped using the Libre app. I haven't uninstalled it yet, but I'm definitely considering it as part of my troubleshooting. Ideally, I'd like to get to the bottom of this without a major reset of my phone. Does anyone have any tips/ideas?

Interesting comparison of the AI eraser functions on the Pixel versus the Galaxy.
