Hello, I've got a few directories that contain images that I don't want cluttering up my gallery wall in the software Aves Libre. I placed a .nomedia file within the directories. I recall in the past this has worked insofar as the software no longer displayed those images. But it's not working right now, and those images are all being shown. Any idea how to resolve?

Still need to figure out the visualizer, the infinite song name scroll (just loops with return for now), and animating the stars and background (main menu) spinner. Niagara launcher with a quick and dirty `//` img as icons via Icon Packer. There's a bug that crashes the app if I use a global bitmap var in a komponent but other than that it's incredible what you can do with a day of tinkering.

I’m still in the saga of trying to switch to android and hit another roadblock lol. I’m looking for a web browser that implements gesture navigation with linear animations like on iOS. The closest browser I’ve found is opera GX, but the PC/MacOS version of opera runs like shit with 30fps animations for all the UI elements.

I hate shareit. It's full of ads and nonsense, but it's much faster than any other alternative?

Hello, world! Is it possible to somehow remove an unlocked bootloader warning on newer Motorola phones? I’ve tried to flash custom logo.bin via fastboot flash logo command. Boot logo has changed but the warning hasn’t been removed. Instead it just became plain text (as well as whole fastboot menu). Would be grateful for any of you suggesting something ;)

If I only wanted to degoogle and disable other manufacturer's bloatware from my Android device, is using adb to "uninstall" the system apps from user 0 pretty much as effective as rooting and using something like debloat terminal while rooted or are there bypasses that make rooting the better option? I'm not concerned about reclaiming the space used by these disabled system apps in this case.

I imagine certain features like Google Maps' different busyness indicators might be missing because otherwise that would require telemetry?

Apparently this is to hassle Epic Games. HN discussion has more info: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46333734

Hello everyone, I’ve been working on a simple 3D maze game for Android. The main idea is a daily maze: everyone plays the same maze each day and competes on a global leaderboard. It’s designed to be quick and casual. Wordle-style sessions you can finish in a few minutes. Features: - Daily Maze: same maze for everyone, resets daily, global leaderboard - Random Mode: no competition, solution button available - Duels: real-time 1v1 races on a randomly generated maze I’d really appreciate feedback, especially on what features or modes would be interesting to add. The app isn’t public yet because Google requires a testing phase, but testing is open. You just need to join a Google Group and then use the Play Store link below. Google group: (It may show "you don't have access to this content" but if you login you can request access. It's unfortunately a necessary step for the App links below to work.) https://groups.google.com/g/maze-trials-3d-closed-testing App links: Web: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mazegame3d.app Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mazegame3d.app (The App links above will only be available after joining the group. I'm very sorry, those are google requirements.) Thanks!

Hey! I'm looking for an app or browser with a good reading mode, preferably with images too, of website articles. So many websites put random shit between paragraphs that break up the article, and not just ads so using an adblocker doesn't help much. For example, I saw this article about my city: https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/37178834/new-train-station-opens-europe-city-break/ And it's just a shitty experience to read the article, I just want the text and images. I tried Firefox reading mode but it doesn't do a great job a lot of the time (including this article), like not removing the right stuff and even removing parts that are actually the article. Very much prefer a FOSS app, searched around a bit but didn't really find anything.

What is it with Android, that it constantly wants me to use Live Wallpapers? I switched to a plain android device from Xiaomi and I really like the calm experience. No ads, no duplicate services etc. But one thing still bothers me: Live Wallpapers. Why is Android so keen on activating live wallpapers? I didn't want them on my old device and always thought it was a Xiaomi thing. But now I still get a screen every once in a while and after each system update. Why? What's in it for Android that it is so obsessed with fucking live wallpapers that I constantly have to reaffirm that I really REALLY don't want them?

Custom rommed using CM11 :D

Since a few folks seem [unaware of this]( https://lemmy.ca/comment/8752266), I'm posting anew for visibility.

I have 115

> Last year, Google Maps on Android was revamped so that the main view displayed info using sheets, and the full app is getting this redesign.

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?

As you can see in the picture, version **code** looks apparently different from version number. So how do I find?

Is there anyone else that isn't on Samsung or using the Samsung APK of Google Messages that actually HAS customizable bubbles? I'm on a Pixel 7 Pro and have been waiting for customizable bubbles. I've tried the debug values but I only have "bugle" flags and "device country". I've also tried installing the beta version, uninstalling the beta, and downloading the latest APK and manually installing it. I personally don't like the massive header added by the Samsung APK so I've stayed with the pixel variant.

Does anyone know of an app that will search all installed icon packs for a term?

You used to be able to use the *#*#4636#*#* trick to get a hidden menu, but now that's gone too. There's nothing in the menu that alllows you to select which network to use. I hate to keep having network disconnects and in perpetual 4G/5G back and forth and battery draining. I use Samsung btw Edit: For context: Its due to issues with being near the edge of the 5G zone so your phone keeps going back and forth between 4G and 5G which (I suspect), is what causes constant network disconnection, phone being hot/warm, and battery drain. Very annoying. Edit: YOOOO I FUCKING FOUND IT https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.szalkowski.activitylauncher/ Search "Phone Info" --> Click the one with the phone icon --> Click again (there should be only one option --> Launch Activity --> Fina a dropdown option, change dropdown to LTE Voila. I feel like a fucking hacker (why is this so hidden wtf Samsung?)

I hear then connect through the earphones as always but then every other sound is played by the phone's speaker. I've tried reconnecting and rebooting them a few times without luck. Any suggestions? Edit: rebooting the phone solved it.

As the title says, a samsung tablet got updated, and now refuses to allow an older app that was working fine before the update to launch or do anything other than pop a toast saying it was built for an older android version. While there are other app options, none are the right fit. So, I'm hoping there's a way to make the app work anyway. It's the Swype keyboard. Any help would be appreciated. Edit: solved! As [email protected] said, there is a version on xda that works, as long as you only need the basic language it comes with. There is a way to make the language packs work, but it is supposedly fiddly. Here's [https://xdaforums.com/t/any-way-to-run-swype-dragon-keyboard-on-android-14-on-pixel-6-pro.4640113/#post-89243411](http://www..com/ the link )

Title basically. My phone has been getting frequent stalls despite my connection being excellent and fast when it works. Looking for an app to help me figure out what's happening.
