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 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?

I built this little website to make it easier to see the new releases for a handful of popular turnip driver repositories. Please do share and let me know how this can be improved!

Using samsungs android (oneUI). I can configure a sleep mode where the phone is in 'do not disturb '. I can make an exclusion for specific apps, such that notifications from those apps are still shown. But the notification from that all is still silent (visible). I want a sound such that it can wake me in the night. Usecase: :my pet-camera sends me a notification is my pet is awake and moving about. I want that notification to wake me up, from my sleep. Samsung had something called routines (mini tasker I guess). Maybe i can build something, but it's seems too complicated for my usecase? Hippie somebody knows

This is explained on [this support answer](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/95725) It's a thing on Revanced YT even if spoofing an old version. [Applies to the web version](https://lemm.ee/post/4504173) as well now This seems to be due to some [new EU law](https://fry.gs/post/5061) ?

It is surprisingly hard to find open source launchers that are simply the AOSP default launcher with few UX modifications. [NeoLauncher](https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.saggitt.omega) is one, but while the GitHub seems to still be active, the last update to the app on the repository is from 2022, almost a year ago. I was thinking that LineageOS's Trebuchet is a pretty good default AOSP launcher. Seems to be actively updated with the Lineage project and also up to date with the latest stock Android look and feel. I'm not entirely sure if it's just the base AOSP code with few modifications or if it's a fully custom launcher that Lineage developed though, but either works for me. I can't outright switch to LineageOS right now due to compatibility issues with some of my work apps, so is there a way to get that Trebuchet and run it on other ROMs? For example on /e/OS because its default iPhone esque launcher kind of sucks? Does Lineage offer the package in a repository some how? Or is there otherwise another reputable way to download the standalone app for any ROM?

Hello, I'm looking for something to help me manage my daily tasks, something I can check off my chores, and they show up again the next day. I heard about todoist but they immediately wanted me to sign in or create an account. Is there anything out there that doesn't require that? All I can think of that it'd be useful for (other than transferring between phones) is selling my data

stock asus x00p android with twrp installed. So, I boot to recovery (twrp) and search the directories to find the apps I don't want and delete em. If this is the way to go, could you tell me in what directories do I find these apps? If this is not the right way, what is it then?

Hi, the default Roboto font is boring me out of my mind and I'd like to change it. In the past, I've done so by just replacing the font file in the OS, which worked well, but meant that it would reset after every OS update. I'm considering scripting that with ADB to make it less of a pain, but figured I should ask, if there's a better way. I'm on LineageOS which has a font styling system, but it only applies to the OS, not the user-installed apps...

TLDR: Added wireless charging

If you have ever searched for open source keyboards, you might have come across OpenBoard. But that project hasn't seen development in more than an year. Thankfully, there is a [fork of it](https://github.com/Helium314/openboard) that is being worked upon quite actively. It already supports autocorrect, glide typing, user-defined dictionaries, multilingual typing and now material you themeing as well.

I hate this. Every time i add an event to my calendar i have to read the whole list of freshly randomized, non-fitting reminder-time-options just to set a custom one anyway. And as my memory is completely unreliable i set like 10 different reminders a day for everything. This is on Pixel 6a. Is there an obvious fix i'm not seeing? Thx! 🙂

1. Download Firefox Nightly 115. The latest version has crackling audio. (118 at the time of writing) Here is a download link for aarch64: [link](https://apkpure.com/firefox-nightly-for-developers/org.mozilla.fenix/download/2015949475-APK-a08d7f96000a24626bc487dc248720bb) 2. Launch FF, tap 3 dots, settings, About Firefox Nightly, hammer the Firefox logo until debug options are enabled. 3. In settings go to Customisation, set dark mode. Spotify doesn't support light mode so this will make it look nicer. 4. In the address bar type `about:config` and hit the "+" icon. 5. Set these parameters for new value: * Name: `general.useragent.override` * Type: String * Value: `Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:115.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0` This step is necessary if you want to make a web app, otherwise you can use "request desktop website" option. 6. In about:config, set this value to `1.0`: `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx` 7. Go to open.spotify.com and log in. You may need to change your device's orientation. 8. Find the ideal value for `layout.css.devPixelsPerPx`. You can use float values like 1.22 and values lower than 1. Larger values will make everything bigger but the interface may not fit or the website may crash, smaller values will make everything tiny. 9. Hit 3 dots and tap "Install". Here is how it looks like on my phone: https://imgur.com/a/CpiheUT

I didn't really notice till now, and searching around I see lots of complaints in various communities for different apps. Turns out it's intended behavior in Android 14. The only persistent thing about it is that they don't disappear when you hit "clear all", which is something I never do because I dismiss the ones I need to instead of nuking everything. Feels like a big step backwards and I don't understand the reasoning behind it. It was always possible to dismiss persistent ones if we really needed to (long tap etc) Is there any workaround to get it back? **Unnecessary backstory:** I use a notification creation app to leave important TODOs as pinned notifications so I see them when I check my phone. I've missed some and I thought I was setting them wrong. Turns out the notifications can be dismissed accidentally, making the app useless. My use case isn't that important, I can find some other workflow. But there are other more important apps like blood sugar monitors and home security/alert apps that use persistent notifs for functionality.

I want to know if it's reasonable to expect a degree of privacy with stock android.

https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/7710-changing-imei/8 > A phone doesnt need a sim to connect to the network towers. Sim is only for billing. The network can see your imei and triangulate your location as long as your radio is on. I have read this on https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/7710-changing-imei/8, but I'm bit confused. Does this mean our IMEI is identified by cell tower as long as the airplane mode is off? What exact setting is "Radio" referring to? thanks a lot thanks [@[email protected]](https://lemmy.world/u/rowinxavier) and [@[email protected]](https://lemmy.world/u/9tr6gyp3) Short answer: Yes The network can see your IMEI and triangulate your location even though no SIM is installed. and theoretically with airplane mode off no radio is on

I learned only yesterday that Google is going to effectively shut down open android. So I'm gonna have to move away from there. But what are my options? Is there a nice website that lists and compares alternatives? I hear that Graphene is the goat, but I'm not on a pixel phone. Currently I'm on a Samsung galaxy a15 I hear about lineageOS as a good second, but it sounds like Google's decision to close down android might affect lineage too. I hear about others, but I'm not too well versed in running obscure OS.

Hey guys, I'm using Home Assistant to set alarms on my phone and its working fine. I can set alarm time with a message using this string in my yaml file: `"android.intent.extra.alarm.HOUR:{{8}},android.intent.extra.alarm.MINUTES:{{15}},android.intent.extra.alarm.SKIP_UI:true,android.intent.extra.alarm.MESSAGE:Take Medication"` Now I'd like to add a daily repeat or for example repeat every Wednesday. From the same source I found it should be possible using EXTRA_DAYS. I couldn't find any example so I was trying every combination that came to my mind like: ``` android.intent.extra.alarm.DAYS:{{Calendar.SATURDAY, Calendar.WEDNESDAY}} android.intent.extra.alarm.DAYS:{{ [Calendar.SATURDAY, Calendar.WEDNESDAY] }} android.intent.extra.alarm.DAYS:[Calendar.SATURDAY, Calendar.WEDNESDAY] etc. ``` How to shape that android.intent.extra.alarm.DAYS properly? Documentation says the values should be `ArrayList<Integer>`: [Documentation is on this link](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/AlarmClock#EXTRA_DAYS)

Hi, I created another user on my custom rom Android (aka Multiple users) Unfortunately when doing so the system do not adapt the permission of the sdcard and some other directory, thus the new user can't access them :/ So I wanted to "remote" terminal into my android device from my computer. How are you achieving this ? ( without 3thparty apps please ! ) Thanks.

Over the weekend, Google removed Kaspersky's Android security apps from the Google Play store and disabled the Russian company's developer accounts. Users have been reporting over the last week that Kaspersky's products (including Kaspersky Endpoint Security and VPN & Antivirus by Kaspersky) are no longer available on Google Play in the United States and other world regions. Kaspersky confirmed the issue on the company's official forums on Sunday and said that it's currently investigating why its software is no longer available on Google's app store.

I want to install native alpha plus but cannot purchase it as I don't have Google play services, and cannot build it from source as I don't have access to a computer. If this is not possible, could somebody please help me out and PM me a link to a compiled APK.
