The alternative app store Aptoide filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google in the USA over alleged monopolization. Aptoide, provider of an alternative Android app store, accuses Google of excluding competing app stores from the market by monopolizing app distribution and billing, thus violating US antitrust law.

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. Oh, and no bypass is available anymore (aside from disabling play protect): 

I'm using GrapheneOS, the default Vanadium browser works great but it doesnt block ads. I want to install a 2nd browser just for youtube and my specific Google account for youtube. I also tried Newpipe and similar apps, but they cant use my Google's playlist and comments. I need them, that is why I think to use a 2nd browser. Is there a way to set Youtube links (youtube.com, m.youtube.com...etc) to be opened in a non default browser, say Brave or Firefox?

Is there an explanation as to why exatcly update downloads are so slow from the game client in pretty much every game on Android i ever played that had such a thing. Screenshot is from magic arena but i also had this happen in fantasy war tactics and some other games ( cant really remember the games as they were more try and forget they ever existed type of thing ) By comparison the downloads from play store ale blazingly fast . Is that some Android limitation or was i just unlucky and those particular games had shitty servers. Also why are they not keeping the whole game in play store and doing this weird in game updates ( Probably it costs more but i would love confirmation ).

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)).

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 have an Android app which needs to run an overlay activity with some content in it over other apps on the phone at the moment they start or get focused. For this, I use `AccessiblityService`: ``` override fun onAccessibilityEvent(event: AccessibilityEvent) { if (event.eventType == AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED) { if (cond1) { // (!) // this will get triggered properly // val intent = Intent(this, MyOverlayActivity::class.java) intent.flags = Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP startActivity(intent) } } } ``` However, it'll only get *launched properly* whenever I switch to my own activity - `MainActivity`. **What's the matter?** MyOverlayActivity: ``` class MyOverlayActivity : AppCompatActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) // 1 // window.setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY) // val layoutParams = WindowManager.LayoutParams( // WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, // WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, // WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY, // WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE, // PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT // ) // window.attributes = layoutParams // // 2 window.setFlags( WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE ) window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND) window.setLayout( WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT ) window.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM) // setContentView(R.layout.activity_my_overlay_layout) } } ``` Manifest ``` <!-- [.............] --> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/> <!-- [.............] --> <activity android:name=".MyOverlayActivity" android:exported="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme.TranslucentNoTitleBarFullscreen" android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|screenLayout|keyboardHidden|keyboard|navigation"> </activity> ``` Note I've given the permission required to my app in Acessibility.

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.

Is anyone aware of a community on Lemmy focused on ports of Android nsfw games? Similar to r/androidnsfwgaming

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.

We’ve come full-circle: we went from the volumetric, 3D designs with shadows of the 2000s to everything flat, and now we’re gaining depth and shadows again!

I love the ViMusic/RiMusic UI, it's something different that works also better than standard material designs.

I've used notification cleaner for years but it's dead. Anyone recommend alternatives? This has been difficult to find online

The open source project I stumbled upon that allows you to run Android apps on PC is Waydroid....it takes a container-based approach to running a full Android system directly on Linux Alas given how it works it only works on Linux.

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...)

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.

I think it's neat, I just discovered it today when browsing on someone's iphone. Or is it a step in the wrong direction towards 1-in-all apps like Wechat?

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?

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.

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."
