If this can happen, is it possible that once mandatory developer verification comes into effect, all 3rd party apps will be uninstalled at first and require a re-install? Concerning this specific case, [NFCGate](https://github.com/nfcgate/nfcgate) is a tool on which [malware (family) titled NGate by ESET is based](https://www.eset.com/us/about/newsroom/research/eset-research-discovers-ngate-android-malware-which-relays-nfc-traffic-to-steal-victims-cash-from-atms-1/), thus likely causing a false positive.

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 recently interested in custom ROMs for the past 2 weeks. And amongst them, **Project Infinity X** caught almost all my attention. The customization features it provides swayed me away. But it struck me hardly in my heart when I checked their device support list on their official website. My phone's model wasn't mentioned there. Not only that, I tried to search for other _Popular_ ROMs and they too didn't have a version for my exact model. Then I posted in fb, some dudes told me to try gsm ROMs, or searching for ROMs with the exact codename for my phone. I didn't know what a codename is, they told to install an app from play store and then to check the codename. I still didn't understand what is a codename. Given below is a screenshot taken from that app which I think is the codename. When I researched about gsm ROMs, I came to know that, almost all the gsm ROMs gonna cause at least one hardware-software integration problem. SIM card, or wifi, battery etc. Then I came to know about XDA forums. I couldn't comprehend The website's UI at all. What I gathered that, the website was a place for unverified/unofficial versions of custom ROMs. Labeling that as **unsafe**, I couldn't trust the site. [ **Edit:** As xda forum being unsafe, I meant, since it provides unverified/unofficial ROMs made by random developer, It could be buggy and unstable. So much so that it can be worse than gsm ROMs. ] Only then, I stumbled upon LineageOS, as much as it pained me knowing that unfortunately they too, don't have a version for my exact phone, I came across all sorts of content where the uploader claimed that, they installed an older version of LineageOS in their phone which is also not cited in the official website's page, but the ROM just worked fine for their case. So I was wondering if the same is possible for my exact model. Not only with LineageOS, but with other ROMs too. My phone model is **Redmi Note 13 5g.** Came with MIUI, android 13( I think, because I forgot ), then after 2 updates, it is now running android 15 on HyperOS UI.

Alternate methods to get a screenshot
Folks my mom bought a phone with the volume and power buttons on the same side and drops the phone every time she tries to get a ss. What alternate methods are there to get a ss. It is a Samsung A05s I believe. Would appreciate any help, thank you folks.

Hello, I was wondering about how to root my tablet, it is a **10.1" onn surf walmart tablet**, I wanted to root it, but all the guides I could find are either outdated, or the wrong model (or both!) and I'm kinda at my wits end.**I have OEM unlocking and usb debugging**, so i can root it i believe. I wonder if there is any software or app that can dump the ROM file? because I can't seem to find any archive of the model, and like i said, the ones people talk about are the wrong type and i don't wanna risk breaking anything. thank you.

The Android Auto Complaints Line: Drop 'em here
Man, I'm glad Android Auto exists, I'm glad it's finally appearing in more new cars with wireless connectivity (although MANY new cars still only have wireless carplay and wired Android), and I'm glad we're finally getting the ability to open Google Maps on our phones while it's also open on the car's display. But damn it still does some dumb shit. I'll just drop this one for now: I find it weird and dumb that Google Maps in Android Auto will let you send a progress share to a contact's email address but not to their phone number as a text message with a link. An email address *might* send a notification to somebody's Google Maps app, but it's certainly never happened on my partner's iPhone. She just gets a link via email, and she is *not* the checking email sort — so I usually follow up with a text message telling her to check her email. 😑 (I wish she'd just get a Samsung...)

Does nothing launcher support work profile?
Basically the question. I use work profile (created with [shelter](https://f-droid.org/packages/net.typeblog.shelter/)). The stock android launcher supports this personal/work separation. But I want to know whether nothing phone launcher support this feature. I know you can install a third party launcher like lawnchair for this. But with these 3rd party launchers the gesture support is really bad.

What niche phone features would appeal to you?
I went through my late teens as the initial smart phone boom was happening. I had a Motorola q that could get TV channels and had a keyboard. I had the enV that flipped open. And many androids/blackberries that I loved for their unique form factor and functionality. I have never balked at spending money on a phone and for a long time i felt locked into generic flagship devices. With the debut of folding screens I feel like my appetite for unique devices rekindled. I think the power of android lies in its diversity of implementation. So what features and functionalities would you choose over the next flagship release?

How come I get different app versions when I load f-droid from my desktop compared to loading the f-droid client (app) on my phone?
desktop shows all available versions, including the newest ones. This is not always the case when I load the f-droid app on my phone. If I check the f-droid website, results are the same as using the desktop.

If you need a new compact 45w USB c charger, the new Anker 313 45w is the same size as the Nano 2 but it’s $10 cheaper (for prime members).
I just got a new phone and wanted a new compact 45w charger to replace the 20w Anker nano I use at work. My phone supports 68w with the original charger but I noticed it usually hovers around 50w so I figured 45w is not a huge drop to be able to get a faster but still smaller charger. [This review](https://youtu.be/DJyl3AwwPi8?si=3e5YFMFaQql4OpT6) at around the 8 min mark shows the old Nano 2 side by side with the 313 and they're identical in size. He also says they've improved it a bit. So this is a slam dunk as far as I'm concerned. Just wanted to share! Not sure if Amazon links are allowed so just search "Anker 313 45w charger."

Android Go - Notifications missing
My daughter has a low specced Android Go phone, just for Whatsapp, Signal and txting. She likes it as it's also quite small compared to most other smartphones. I don't mind it's not fast, but I've noticed that notifications for Signal & Whatsapp are not coming through after being idle for some time. I've disabled battery saver for these apps, but after a couple of hours, notifications are not coming through again. What else could I change?

Universal Stylus?
I have a Lenovo Tab P11 (Gen 2), which while not being that old seems to have been entirely superceded, to the point that I can't seem to find stock of the only compatible stylus listed on their website (well, that isn't approaching £90 or shipping from China in Ebay- the RRP being something like £40) Are there any decent universal styluses that can be bought for a decent price that will write well enough to be worth the cost? To my knowledge the Tab P11 isn't USI compatible, unfortunately so I understand that my options may be limited here!

Tangram for Android
I've been happily using Tangram in my Linux laptop: https://github.com/sonnyp/Tangram Tangram is basically a "browser" that turns web pages into apps. It works very well with websites where I want to stay logged in for long periods of time (like lemmy or mastodon). Does anyone know and can recommend a similar capability in Android? I would prefer something in FDroid when possible.

Looking for Driving Journal App (preferably FOSS)
Hey everyone, I'm looking for a driving journal app, to track _when_, _to/from where_ and which _distance_ I drive. Ideally I'd like for it to be FOSS, but if there are decent Closed Source apps I'm ok with it too (I'd just block Network Access in Graphene OS then). This post (not mine) has pretty much my ideal criteria, but sadly didn't get any answers: https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/88349/drivers-logbook-app-for-android-foss Unlike the above post, I don't want this for tax purposes etc., but rather just to understand where all my distance driven comes from. Edit: I've done some more research and haven't found anything, for now I'll just use an OnlyOffice spreadsheet. If I find the time, I might try developing an app for this at some point. Edit 2: After developing my app for a week and then showing it to a friend, he instantly found exactly what I was working on... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liefers.driverslogpro

Several questions about TWRP
I finally installed TWRP 3.7.0 onto my device (asus X00PD). 1. After booting to TWRP in the device and entering my password a terminal opens. It reads: `Unable to mount storage` `data successfully decrypted, new block device: ./dev/block/dm-o’` `updating partition details…` `...done` `full selinux support is present` `MTP enabled` Is it all good to go, or is something wrong? (Unable to mount storage). 2. From the device, I can use adb sideload to upgrade TWRP and any other .zip or .iso I want, correct? 3. There is an option to make a backup. However, I somehow cannot save the backup to my computer via the usb cable. Why is this? My computer (ubuntu 23.10) shows the android device and I can cd to it. 4. I wanted to use TWRP to locate bloatware and delete it. However, I don’t know what directories I should start looking for to get rid of facebook and degoogle the device. Help appreciated ETA: according to xda, to boot into recovery mode I have to press power + vol down a while during booting and let the buttons go. However, the only way to boot into recovery that works for me is to boot to fastboot from the device and load `fastboot oem reboot-recovery` from my computer’s terminal. If any of you could help with the correct keys and time (when to let go), let me know.

Good foss app to run a simple http server from a directory?
i found one on fdroid but it was old and the directory selector was broken and couldn't really work outside of it's default for some reason, it also rendered the page i'm trying to use really weirdly, like it wasn't sending some file over and the css got borked. Found one that wasn't foss, installed it, opened it, "buy premium to unlock this feature", uninstalled it.

I can’t stand the updates anymore
I'm at a point in life I get a phone, set it up and live my life. Everytime I get updates for my Samsung phone my menu is wack and I gotta click through thousand new commands and options that I will never use in my life. Please just give me updates for my security and no more features.
